The choice of the song by Ray Charles, for me, amplified that bitterness, for it was like a recollection gimmick of the "better days" in the past between Kenichi and Tima--a stark contrast with this scene and a gruesome reminder of the quality moments that were forever lost.
I can't help but feel sorry for Tima. An innocent and kind little girl who(the word "which" did not appeal to me as much), in a way unfortunate yet unavoidable, was exposed to so much violence and such heartbreaking news about herself and reality. Her transformation into a terminator, was perhaps the most bitter part of the story (who would like to see a good person go bad!)
One of the best scenes in cinima history. I hear people say that the song is out of place in the scene but when you see the whole movie its hard to imagine them making this any more perfect.
I literally watch this scene on repeat sometimes just to set a metaphor for myself (Kenichi) losing my innocence (Tima) as my life (Metropolis) falls apart.
I am crying all over again! Everytime I see this scene I cannot hold back the tears! Poor Tima and Ken-ichi!!!!!!!!! And the Ray Charles song just fits perfectly and makes the scene also beautiful, despite the major tragedy! Thanks for posting! This movie is definitly one the best anime movies of all time!
that was an amazing explosion and the song was just perfect for the occasion, sad ending but it looked awsome especilly when the generator did the exploding atom effect. nice
rharshan watch EOE and listen to the most chill song ever during the most unchill moment and fall in love with the song in the BG 'Kom susser tod' like holy shit
You are most welcome. In truth, there is a lot more to this movie than what I've said. The animators did a great job illustrating the story with storytelling techniques (e.g. pay attention to the "Angel Scene" as opposed to this one). I've watched it nearly a month ago, and just yesterday, I found myself humming the song and remembered the story...my heart felt sore even then- it was That memorable
This scene is nothing short of a masterpiece in film-making. I first saw this film as a kid with my older sister and father in an out-of-the-way indy theater in downtown Austin, and I'll never forget it.
The rhetorical question, "Who am I", used here was fantastic! It really makes you think about how could one define an android like Tima-- if she were just like the other robots, then it'll be easy to define, but she's not, she's a perfect duplicate of a human being with human characteristics--how can she possibly be defined as a robot or as a human being?
This had to be my overall favorite part in the entire movie, my favorite song. It's a refreshing reprise from all those dramatic orchestras and such, because this...it just FIT. I couldn't believe I hadn't liked RC before this, and promptly went to look him up and download some music x3 Fantastic; I cry every time.
I find Tima and Kenichi's relationship unique. I had a theory that they were in love but everyone said they were just "friends" but it was more than just friendship, true love. Why'd you think Kenichi protected Tima so much? Because he LOVED her, not as a father, but as his love. The narrator on the Making of Metropolis even says "they fell in love with each other".
Thanks man. I really like this movie! It opens up to the issue of a possible scenario of how mass produced AI can widen the gap between the wealthy, who got richer by getting more efficient and zero pay workers,and the poor, who got superseded by robots and lose their jobs and value in society.
Did anyone know that there was a last frame in the original Japanese release of the movie? It was edited out of the European and US versions for reasons I can't understand. It shows a cafe or a shop that's run by Kenichi and Tima, explicitly showing that Tima survived and Kenichi helped put her together again. I saw the image years ago on an anime forum but I just l searched and searched and couldn't find it but it's out there somewhere.
ooh i remember this movie it was really good... the beginning of the song goes so well with the first explosion...i should watch it again..it looks like the whole thing is on here..but if its the dubbed version i ain't watchin' it >_>;
Some one needs to post the scene where Tima sits in the chair and starts taking over. This movie, Akira, and Cowboy Bebop the movie are the best anime.
I was reading about science fiction and the predominant question of what makes us human that is found in all sci-fi in some form or other. I immediately thought of you Tima.
In a way, it's so very sad that because of her unique condition and mechanism, she is the only "being" who cannot give herself an answer of who or what she is. "Who is She?" Makes you double think about making super AI or complete human cloning.
welll... this way could be seen as more sad too; insane / mentally torn apart before death. LOVE this scene BTW; watched the whole film maybe 10 times; this scene, over 100 :P
The scene was beyond amazing!! but the song by Ray Charles during that scene.. eehhh. It wasnt to my liking. It took the whole sappyness out of the scene for me. Quite frankly, I laughed. lol. The song just seemed so random for the scene.
I saw this with my girlfriend yesterday, and we were making out, and I told her I couldn't stop loving her :$ to this song! I think the animation to this film, is fantastic, trust the Japanese to come out with some on the best animé films and influences ever.
this is gay. No im joking! Its one of the best films of the century. i searched just for this part. I saw this film about 5 years ago, and while I can barely remember the plot, this scene is forever burned into my memory.

I cried during this scene. The music works so well for this scene.

She remembers Kenichi, but not herself.... What a beautiful scene.
as an animator it is painful to watch this destruction scene cos it must have taken ages
beautiful... just plain beautiful.
I literally watch this scene on repeat sometimes just to set a metaphor for myself (Kenichi) losing my innocence (Tima) as my life (Metropolis) falls apart.
Rintaro's Metropolis has extremely well done visuals but I mainly come back for the music and how it works with the sequences. ...sniff.

I Played this scene over and over again when I first got the dvd.
Great Movie, Great scene.
Thanks for the upload.
that was an amazing explosion and the song was just perfect for the occasion, sad ending but it looked awsome especilly when the generator did the exploding atom effect. nice
whoever on the animation staff first pitched the idea of having this song for this scene is a GENIUS.
This a great story. Disney do you see this? This is an example of a good story.
This is my favorite part of the movie. Spectacular explosions, perfect music... kinda reminds me of Fallout...
saw this when i was 10, still the best thing 5 years later
One of the most impressive animated films--anime and otherwise--that I have ever seen. I cannot imagine this scene without this song.
OMG! I forgot about the song part! Now I remember that at this part I cried the first time I saw it.. I'm cryin' now! Lol
quite possibly the greatest destruction scene ever!!!!
I like this movie. This bit just makes me want to snuggle up to someone special. Tis a sad ending. Thanks for posting
best anime ending ever!!!!
rharshan watch EOE and listen to the most chill song ever during the most unchill moment and fall in love with the song in the BG 'Kom susser tod' like holy shit
I know right!
It's awesome!
this scene was so well done having the contrast of detruction but in amongst the love story and a sweet song
i get goosebumps every time i watch this
Yeah! Miyazaki. Good to know that so many people know about him (and Tezuka) in a good way.....it does them justice
You are most welcome.

0:28 the corpses of Rock and Duke Red.
When the movie came out i rewind alot of times just for this part.....great movie
Amazing.
this was my fav. scene in this movie.. the song was so contrast to the destruction..oh i LOVED it.

the first time i saw this was ages ago and I couldn't stop crying

this is one of the greatest anime movies ever the last scenes are the so great
This song give the plus to the scene is amazing...i could cry listenig this song just like Komm susser tod in the End of evangelion
I have to admit the first time this caught me completely off guard. Such a good movie and such a good scene.
Leon: ADA!!!
Boy: TIMA!!!!!!
Got that resident evil 2 vibe there
I loved the whole movie but this was just perfect. I have this song on my facebook now. Haha
Poor Tima...I guess the sad thing was that no matter what, she was a machine and in the end, slave to her fate.
i loved this movie the first time i saw it likr 5 years ago and this just reminded me how awesome the ending is... amazing.
beautiful

Excellent movie. You should see it.
saddest scene ive ever seen in my life. makes me so sad.
Thanks man.
I really like this movie!
It opens up to the issue of a possible scenario of how mass produced AI can widen the gap between the wealthy, who got richer by getting more efficient and zero pay workers,and the poor, who got superseded by robots and lose their jobs and value in society.
best anime ending ever, everyone shold see this.
This part always makes me cry. ;_;
Though the characters look cartoony, I like how mature they acted and the story is rocking!
Did anyone know that there was a last frame in the original Japanese release of the movie? It was edited out of the European and US versions for reasons I can't understand.

dis my fav scene!!!!!! love da song.
very insightful
It's so beautifully tragic.
ooh i remember this movie it was really good... the beginning of the song goes so well with the first explosion...i should watch it again..it looks like the whole thing is on here..but if its the dubbed version i ain't watchin' it >_>;
Love this scene as well
this really is so much more than a simple anime, its really a great animation movie
Aww man, the saddest ending ever T_T
When I first saw this it was the only time I have been genuinely in awe at a film. I think I was mostly confused, still, it is incredible.
i cried so hard when i saw this movie.
Some one needs to post the scene where Tima sits in the chair and starts taking over. This movie, Akira, and Cowboy Bebop the movie are the best anime.
so epic
yea he was that's why he stayed to rebuild her. parts by parts
I was reading about science fiction and the predominant question of what makes us human that is found in all sci-fi in some form or other. I immediately thought of you Tima.

welll... this way could be seen as more sad too; insane / mentally torn apart before death.
LOVE this scene BTW; watched the whole film maybe 10 times; this scene, over 100 :P
its not an AMV. this is the movie is actually played out
Brianne Siddall did an awesome job with Kenichi in the dub!! I dont like watching it in japanese all that much (Which is damn rare!!)
Is the TriStar Pictures logo shown in this film or not please tell me imeaditly
Watch me destroy the world, while I play unfitting music.:D
I love this song :3
The scene was beyond amazing!! but the song by Ray Charles during that scene.. eehhh. It wasnt to my liking. It took the whole sappyness out of the scene for me. Quite frankly, I laughed. lol. The song just seemed so random for the scene.
YOU DO!!
whats the name of it!?
I saw this with my girlfriend yesterday, and we were making out, and I told her I couldn't stop loving her :$ to this song!
I think the animation to this film, is fantastic, trust the Japanese to come out with some on the best animé films and influences ever.
Does anyone know if the people who did this have anything to do with Kikaider, the animation seems similar, as well as the sadness.
i think they did a good job with the english dub, I've see a lot worse
who am i? or in the japanese version, i am who?
It's all Rock's fault for shooting Tima! >.
this is gay. No im joking! Its one of the best films of the century. i searched just for this part. I saw this film about 5 years ago, and while I can barely remember the plot, this scene is forever burned into my memory.
I enjoyed this and music though unfitting, I found to be ironic.
sorry but it's all about cowboy bebop
i bloody didnt like this scene tina!.....
