This scene gives me an existential crisis. Imagine the billions of lives and stories that have been forgotten to the sands of history. Thousands of generations of people who loved and laughed and cried, and now the only memory of their lives are the civilizations they helped to create.
It's such an eerie feeling, forsure. Scorcese put down on film something really special with this ending.
Similar thing happened at the end of Grave of the Fireflies
And luckily, we have books and legends, and movies which allow us to remember what happened in the very long history.
It is a bleak thought.
"Someday someone will be the last person to ever think about you and you will ultimately cease to exist."
Your right
138 years in a few seconds. Both The Butcher and The Priest are lost to time
Like tears in rain )
@@ma5amune Until Scorsese made a movie 👍
@@ma5amune I so wanted to write this. (I too, watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.)
Makes me wonder how often we're walking over graves and we don't even know it
In my hometown there is a park where an orphanage once stood, supposedly it had its own cemetery where sickly children etc were buried but where exactly it is on the property has been lost to time.
What a profoundly moving ending. We laugh, we cry and we hope with these characters but in the end, they were nothing in the grand scheme of things. All these people lost to the annals of history; no one will ever know them, their hopes and dreams, their tragedies and stories of triumph.
MAN FORGETS BUT GOD REMEMBER.......✝️✝️✝️
Don't look at it like that. They are remembered. Their souls are in these kind of movies, in history, we should not forget people that helped build our world.
Take your meds.
I first saw this when I was 18 years old. I still remember the potent existential dread, the unrelenting passage of time, the feeling of being surrounded by ghosts and a sea of graves under our feet. It’s now already been 20 years since this was released. We are fading away fast.
New York through the ages.
1:55 - 1863
2:04 - 1883
2:12 - 1897
2:20 - 1933
2:28 - 2001
True man
Hugely under-rated film.
And this has to be one of the most EPIC endings in cinema history.
I watch this movie every St. Paddy's Day and replay the ending about 5 times. I still get misty eyed each time. I'm not even a New Yorker!
I know that feeling!!!
When the towers fade in. Breaks my heart every time. I grew up in the south no where near NYC but that day changed all of us collectively regardless
Goosebumps every time I see New York transform to 2001…
Omg I couldn’t agree with u more. This ending stuck with me and made me smile and made me cry lol. It’s crazy wen he says ‘it’s like we were never here’ or something Along those lines, it gave me chills. Just thinking about all the other generations that lived before us, all their lives, their families and friends, these ppl had hobbies, vices, favourite foods, jobs, skills etc u no what I’m getting at lol. Like wen I look at my street and at my neighbours, we all know each other, we socialise sometimes and no things about each others life’s. It was the same for ppl that lived centuries before us. I can’t describe what I mean lol. It’s like, generators before us lived their lives but it’s like their forgotten now, and looking around at our time now, we will be forgotten about in centuries to come, like we were never here. And it’s crazy to think about that now cos we’re living and breathing, but past generations probably thought the same. FUCK life is crazy and weird and sometimes it’s hard to fathom it in your mind lol. BTW I’m 1 of these people that likes to think and I mean proper think about our existence, the universe, y we are here, how we were created, what is to become of humanity etc lol. I have a lot of questions to questions that can’t be answered and that is a mind fuck lol, but I’m just a passionate thinker, n I think I’m getting too passionate writing this comment lol. I’m completely going off subject lol. Anyways, Thank you to any1 that reads this comment, I hope I’m not the only 1 who thinks ‘like me’ lol. Take care ppl, live life to the fullest, create good happy memories, be kind to 1 and other and stay safe. Much love Jess 😊 xxxx
1:59 Time erases memory.
even the towers.... are no longer present.
I remember watching this in the theater, barely a year after 9/11...when the Twin Towers appeared, there were audible gasps all across the audience. Scorsese, of course, had no way of knowing just how profound this scene was going to be.
Yes he did.
He was told to remove the towers in an edit.
He refused.
He knew what the image of the Towers represented, It's the entire premises of the movie.
I remember watching this final scene and thinking about the way the Catholic Irish immigrants were despised by the Protestant Americans in the film; then the shot of the Twin Towers made me think about the backlash against Muslim immigrants by Americans in the aftermath. Obviously Scorsese had no way of knowing that he was telling a story still playing out in this sense.
The final edit was after 9/11.
Oh he did, the final edits happened after 9/11 and to the people suggesting he remove the twin towers. He responded that the film was about the people who built that skyline, not those who sook to destroy it.
9/11 was an inside job
Do bear in mind that the Catholic Inquisition was still a living memory in the 1860s, as the last Inquisition was ended in 1808 in Spain.
Prior to that, every single country that ever had a Catholic majority had its own Inquisition where Protestants were murdered.
And Ireland was no exception. So it's unfair to pretend that the hatred Protestants had for Catholics was baseless.
@@NostalgicGamerRickOShayno the inquisition only happened In Spain maybe France protestants werent killed because of their religion in Ireland back then

I think of my childhood suburban neighborhood and the past generations of people that had lived in the area back in the '90s, but are now gone and have been replaced by new generations that will never know we were ever there. I also think of my childhood suburban home and the owners that live there now, whoever they are. None of them will ever know who the very first family to live in that house was, our stories, memories, of the good times and the bad, visitors who came and went- family & friends, etc. Just ghosts of memories now.
"Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out" - John 5:28
"And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” - Rev 21:4
The twin towers at the end though.
Maybe im being biased because Im Irish, but I dont think theres a story quite like this where a nation of people starving: travelled fought and built one of the worlds greatest cities only to be almost completely forgotten in time.
This is the history of America as such. America (The Whole Continent) was was built, defended and liberated from oppression and tyranny by hundreds of thousands of immigrants by people from other nations who, motivated by the hunger for freedom or not to die of hunger, changed history... History that would cause their names and surnames to be erased over time . It is the same story with the birth of the USA or the independence of the countries that belonged to the Spanish crown...
One of those things that if you think about it too much, you'll go mad.
Scorssese deserved the Oscar.
He wouldn't get it until 4 years later for another DiCaprio collab.
This ending is a classic. The tiny cemetery on Brooklyn side with time lapse through time. The music is fantastic. When they showed Pier 17, I was a tour guide on the 3 ships there while in High School. I was also in the twin towers the day before the attack.
You are a lucky man.
Reminds me to relax when the sky is falling. The world doesn’t end that often.
One of the most epic and memorable endings and one of the best ending soundtracks, to this day I go back and watch it. this movie is extremely underrated and didn’t get the reception it deserves

This and attack on titan ending have such similar emotions wow.
and life moves on.
The scene just before this one -- where Amsterdam (with the help of some shrapnel) takes down Bill -- is also pretty epic in the way it shows that all the stuff the five-pointers were fighting for for all those years doesn't really mean anything at all when the Civil War arrives in New York. Makes it seem like such a tiny conflict, even though we've spent a whole movie living with these people through decades in their neighborhood where it feels like there's nowhere else in the world, and that these were the most important people in the world.
I was only 16 when I first saw this movie in theatres. Even then, at a young age, this movie moved me, and my heart grew to love historical movies and stories it's sad to see time faded or forgotten and yet still how precious they are and we should ever take for granted
That ending with time passing by as the city grows and the cemetery.... is very powerful, gives me goosebumps
Anybody noticed the factory in the bottom left-hand corner and how it shares a similar fate to the cemetery? It was built after the war and flourished for decades before being abandoned & falling into disrepair.
Contrast that with the Manhattan skyline which keeps getting grander after each shot.
When I buried my father recently, I remembered this scene from this movie.
I thought about the time that will pass, the memories that will be lost...
It's scary to know that time and wind will erase everything... It's as if no one was ever here...
This makes me feel deeply..
This movie is up there with the godfather, Shawshank redemption, Goodfellas, and titanic
While it seems haunting to see the New York skyline change and their graves slowly deteriorate, it’s only a little over a century? It’s not that significant. New York won’t look much like it does now in another century and nobody alive today will really be remembered much either? That’s just how the passing of time is, the Earth belongs to the living. Once you’re 3 generations away, nothing from the previous eras matter much or are remembered with the exceptions of historians.
So much blood than any of us can possibly imagine.
BLTKelleys Good observation on that And also makes us see how totally senseless prejudice can be.
Last 10 minutes of the film was the highlight of the movie.
I wonder if that cemetery actually exists
We’re just all ashes in the dust.
Life in the United States for most is so easy now. I didn't use to be. What if you had to deal with what life was like 150 years ago. Or even a hundred. My mom told me stories of the great depression. She grew up in DC. We complain about way to much now. The last scene you watched was true. Union troops had to fight against the rioters in new your. Black were hung on the streets. The ships fired canons into the city. We should be on our knees thanking God, but we gripe.
I meant New York
It's so truly awesome that both this film and AI Artificial Intelligence left the Towers in. They actually served the plot.
"AI: Artificial Intelligence" was actually released theatrically before 9/11, though. When I saw it in the teahter, the Towers were still standing. It was comforting to me as I watched it to imagine that millenia after humans vanished, what we built would still exist, but in the case of the Twin Towers, it was not to be...
Truly an emotionally brilliant way to end a spectacular film. The way the city evolves as time passes following the events of the movie, and both the butcher and priest are slowly forgotten as it goes on.
The Brooklyn Bridge appearing as it shifts to around 1883, then it transitions to around 1899-1911, with bigger buildings being constructed. Even more buildings such as the Woolworth and Empire State pop up when it transitions to somewhere around the 1940’s or 50’s.
The final transition showing the skyline of NYC as it had appeared before this film’s release, before the horrifying events of September 11th, 2001. The Twin Towers standing proudly over the skyline of what is now one of the largest cities in North America. If this film was made today, it would’ve shown the towers fading away, and the new One World Trade Center tower in their place. The burial site of the 2 men would be turned into a flower garden, with an American flag at the center.
Leo can’t do an accent to save his life it distracts me so much 😂
They probably would have built over the gravesites too
Великое кино
Masterpiece
Best ending ever🙏🏻
Um cemitério na beira de um rio???
El tiempo pasará y ni tus descendientes te recordarán 😢😢😢😢y nadie sabrá quién fundó la primera generación de tu familia
Blood and tribulations are not over. The new chapter is about to be open...
luv nyc
The only thing this ending keeps pulling; IN THIS LIFE ONLY SEEK GOD'S KINGDOM. For all the others shall be lost unto the sands of time
This kingdom you speak of , does not exist only earth exists
I don't think anyone truly knows.
Amen ✝️🙏
This movie makes today even worse Republican/Democrat politics be damded we are all Americans
Yeshua is returning.
Every single generation of the last 2000 years has had members that claimed that the Second Coming/End Times/Rapture was right around
the corner and was going to be here "Real Soon"™.
They were all wrong. Obviously and demonstrably so.
Yet Christians keep making these "predictions".....and other Christians keep believing them.
Despite any such predictions flying in the face of what the Bible has to say about the Second Coming, and despite EVERYBODY making
such predictions having been wrong WITHOUT EXCEPTION, some Christians simply cannot keep their arrogance and feelings of self
importance in check.
The creator of the universe not only listens to them and cares about them, but he simply has to come back to save THEM in their
particular tiny minute window of existence.
Not before.....not after....but right now!....for ME!
The arrogance is simply staggering.
I really love New York...and then twin towers were gone
FORGOTTEN DOESNT MEAN THEY DIDNT ENJOY THEIR LIVES, I DIDNT KNOW YOU EXIST EITHER 🥸
