I was graduating high school when this came out... I can't fucking believe I just found out about this movie last year. I have literally watched it 13 times already. The moment when he is setting up the detonator, I suppose, to blow it up and he's mumbling "please, please." Having no regards to his own life/death, he just wants to save the planet. All of them did, which is why each sacrifice is just amazing, even Cassie's which no one mentions. She is just lying on the floor in the bomb.
he did melt very fast, but its suppose to show his final milliseconds of his life. like its all slow motion before capa dies and thats why he can touch it. he doesnt really touch it, its just in capas mind
Tanner Faust I get it. It's like all these intense energies swirling around him and colliding are distorting space and time, allowing him to live a moment that most could only dream of. But come on, the box in INSIDE the sun, it's fire is inches away from him. I think it comes close enough. Again, it's just a really cool scene.
Completely agree..I was fortunate enough to see it in a cinema in the UK with my youngest son (he was 15)..this movie has stayed with us ever since..wonderful acting, incredible score and such a wonderful ending.
It's not underrated at all. Look at all the awards it won, plus its literal high critical rating score. Why do people use the term 'underrated' so recklessly?
It was great (but goddam loud OH SO LOUD!!!!). I wondered for a while if instead of a roaring sun it would have been better with full silence in space scenes and spaceship noises inside. Like a boat cracking and twisting in a storm.
It plays well into the science vs fundementalism. Most of the movie is spent with the two fighting, with Capa being the science and then Pinbacker being the manifestation of fundementalism. In this final scene we see science and fundementalism finally harmonise, and Capa gets to feel God up close.
There is something strangely comforting about the sun in this moment. For the entire movie, we’ve seen it being portrayed as this terrifying eldritch beast, from its solar winds more like tendrils which lash out to incinerate Kanada, to its mere appearance being agonizing to look at and capable of driving people such as Pinbacker to madness. It acts like a mad god caught in its dying throes, which threatens to destroy everything in its blind pain. Even at 0:00, it sounds almost like the Sun is screaming in agony. Yet once the bomb is activated, it appears to suddenly stop just before consuming Capa, and seems to grow quiet as if to calm him. It seemed to act almost… *motherly.* The Sun didn’t feel like an eldritch abomination in this moment; it felt more like a mother hugging her son and drying their tears after they woke up crying from a nightmare, before singing them to sleep with a lullaby.
That’s part of the ending. Nobody will know the hardship they had to endure and in the end won. History will only write them all as heroic but reality is they faced hardship, fear, betrayal and in the end their struggles were worth something.
@@mrhellotherehowareu1384 Well, it seems to me that they will know that the ship never began the trip back to Earth and yet, the bomb went off, so at least they know it's possible that someone was alive at the very end to initiate the explosion sequence and commit the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of mankind.
punkiller666 they wouldn’t even know for sure if they couldn’t begin the trip home. There could be many speculations made. I think people will choose the most brave version: the crew made it to the delivery point and afterwards mistaken their escape velocity and was consumed by the sun during the explosion. They would have no idea otherwise other than they made it in the end. They wouldn’t know it almost ended.
Just imagine yourself in his place. The very last moment of his life, stretched to infinity, in the middle of a dying star AND the most massive nuke ever built. I would enjoy every single neuron just of that one moment of ultimate greatness. Nothing could surpass that. No value could come near this point in space and time. He saved the earth, he touched the very star, which provided the dust for his mortal coil and his last thought was with both his creation and his creator. There's no better death than this.
Idk man... Have you ever thrown an empty coke can at the trash can and made it in the first try? Hard to top that. Also, I got to drink another coke AFTER that moment, so...
The most badass heroic death ever. It won't matter if Earth gets saved. He won't be around to see it. He keeps going for every single person on Earth, not himself. He was already dead, yet he did the fuckin' job. Boss as fuck.
That’s called sacrifice and responsibility. It’s only bad ass because it’s so sorely lacking in our modern selfish, vain culture. This is who we are as a species, it’s just been lost over time because of things like social media. All of us stand on the shoulders of giants, men who broke ground on things they would never possibly see the ribbon cutting ceremony for because to build something great for the benefit of others is the most god-like act us mere mortals could ever hope to achieve.
I love this movie. The ending never fails to make me cry. Just imagine the remaining people of Earth who literally sacrificed everything, poured all of our collective money and resources to make those two bombs and spacecrafts. Just watching as the sun comes back. That the one big unified effort by mankind as one was to survive. After this I can see mankind not only surviving but now unified and moving onward to the stars. Confident with a new lease on life.
I have stage 4 cancer. And this scene makes me tear up as it's so powerful. The sun is dying, and Capa fought tooth and nail to get that bomb into the sun and provide sunshine for humanity. It's a very poignant parallel as I'll fight to bring sunshine back to my life. And it will happen. I think it can be a great parallel for anyone struggling in life.
The wonderful music helps..I am an alcoholic and it will kill me in the end....I cannot stop it but I will remember the day me and my son watched this together.

Underrated comment. When I watched a third time I finally caught him saying that and it made this scene make so much sense. I used to question why he was still able to stand in one place while he’s basically spinning out of control into the sun. I know it’s a movie but hey, that little bit of dialogue right there made this scene so much more beautiful and misunderstood. The stars aligned so perfectly that he was able to have this final moment of peace before death. Gotta love it
I sometimes think about this scene whenever I'm meditating. This is such a transcendent and powerful moment. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this in film. It's just so unique. The combination of the visuals, Cillian's expressions, and the music by underworld. It feels like a spiritual catharsis. As a scientist, the inaccuracies of this scene mean nothing to me because I'm just so overpowered by the beauty of it. This is true cinema. Thank you Danny Boyle.
"When a Stellar Bomb is triggered, very little will happen at first -and then a spark, will pop into existence, and it will hang for an instant, hovering in space and then, it will split into two, and those will split again, and again, and again... detonation beyond all imaging - the big bang on a small scale. - a new star born out of a dying one... I think it will be beautiful..."
great movie, but the problem it lacks, the sun is burning out because it is running out of fuel, they literally would have had to transport light elements in the form so much larger than the sun in storage, unless they could use gravity to condense them, nukes are just gonna tear in the rain.
@@negativezero3107the lore behind the movie actually is that a “q-ball” became trapped in the sun and was basically eating the sun from the inside out. The bomb was meant to dislodge or destroy the q-ball and stop it from destroying the sun.
Now that I got that out of my system, I can also say that this ending is the most beautiful ending I have ever seen. When Capa smiles face to face with the sun, it's like he knows he can die peacefully knowing that he just saved the sun, the earth and everyone back at home. He can enter the pearly gates as a hero that died for the greater good knowing that because of him, everyone is saved. He died a hero.
The thing is Cappa didn't just touch the Sun. It is the very thing that is giving us life every morning. It is the very thing that made this Earth the home we needed. Cappa didn't just touch the Sun... he met his Creator.
This has to be one of the best directed films of all time. The echoing, or foreshadowing, I don't know how to put it, of how simple their task is, but the magnitude of impossibilities that push against them, its awe inspiring. When he touches the surface of the sun, only a true quantum physicist can grasp what is happening - space and time cease to exist, yet are the only things in existence at that moment, the paradoxical event - its just mind-blowing. Cillian Murphy played the part to perfection. Sunshine, what a film!!!
The way this scene is shot, coupled with the score & Cappa's look of relief & realignment always makes me cry a bit. He literally gets to experience a moment most dream of but never achieve.
One day you will reach that point. And it will be the most beautiful thing you have ever experienced. But you will no longer be able to tell people that they need not be afraid. If life has meaning, death must also have meaning...
I watched this movie with my wife back when we were teenagers and she asked me whether it was based on a true story……. Yes that significant historical event when the Sun almost blew up.
el sol esta en su media vida ,5.000 mil millones de años ,le quedan otros 5000mil millones ,cuando agote su combustible se encogerá y quemara otros materiales y se expandirá convirtiéndose una enana roja y con ello todo el sistema solar será devorado por el sol ,el ser humano no llegara a verlo ya nos habremos extinguidos .
The atmosphere and surreality of this movie is exceptional. It has the horror of Event Horizon, the psychology and science of Interstellar and the soundtrack is just gorgeous. A criminally underrated Sci fi. I remember seeing at the cinema and exiting it. I was by the ocean and the sun was setting. It made me look at the sun differently. The sheer power of that thing is terrifying.
Such an underrated movie. The soundtrack, cinematography, casting, plot, all of it just oozes genius. This ending especially, it's beautiful. I seriously can't believe that this didn't get more recognition.
1:30 til the end of the video....that's just one of the best scenes I've seen in a movie ever. The visuals, the music, Cillian Murphy's performance. It's just so beautiful and transcendent, it actually made me tear up
This scene was beyond breathtaking. I really regret not seeing it in the theaters. You could see the happiness in kappa's face even when he knew that he was few seconds from death. In his mind, he was saying 'Its over, it's finally over, we finally did it.'
One of THE most beautiful endings I’ve ever seen on film…. Moves me to tears every time. The sincerity conveyed, the peace, the relief, but also the bittersweet ness that goes into not only going out… but doing it well… and legit putting all fear aside and doing everything you can, as a human being, to save everyone you can. It just doesn’t matter at that point… fear, doubt, unbelief, even the instinct to survive, all fades away for him…. And even cooler still, he legit gets to enjoy, due to time literal slowing down, the raw brilliance and beauty of the cosmos, it one of its rawest forms…. it’s so very beautiful. It’s truly, EXISTENTIALLY beautiful….
@@daniel_tennerI think the scene does this more for effect, kind of like the last moment of his life stretched to infinity per se. Having his moment to actually witness the sun that close, almost like it’s saying thank you to him. Great scene. But yea, in reality, the millisecond the sun breached the wall he would have instantly died.
I’ve watched this movie about five times last night. I’m a huge sci fan and this was definitely underrated. The special effects was just breathtaking. This scene made tears stream down my face. To watch Capa reach out and touch the surface of the sun blissfully in his final moments was beautiful.
Also just imagine witnessing your dying sun suddenly enlarge and the shine of it youve never seen for months just suddenly stretch over you and the land you step on it less than a minute. THATS LIKE MAJESTIC TO YOUR EYES.
I cried at how absolutely beautiful this movie actually turned out to be....one of the most orginal, inspired, cerebrial sci-fi films ever & the BEST sci-fi film in the past 20 years. I real piece of cinematic gold. Cudos Danny Boyle & thankyou for a wonderful film :)
As someone who lived in Sydney, it is a stupid shot There is nothing like that field around the opera house, and even the other side from what is shown doesn't have a view like that It looks like someone just plonked a statue of the opera house in a field in Europe
physics cannot explain what would happen if the ending of this movie actually took place...so there is no wrong answer...who is to say that you wouldn't have a pause in time between your utter destruction? For all we know Capa could live a lifetime in that moment
The do make it clear in the film that everything distorts, twists, bends and breaks, laws of physics and all. That aside though, that film is just downright beautiful
The cube gained such a high speed approaching the sun that time inside it slowed down as much as possible, I saw something that lasted a split second! Amazing!
This is what I don't understand. Time should look to you the same, the laws of physics should remain the same in your perspective. Time would be infinitely slower compared to what it is on earth, but for the people in the cube, the physics should be the same and hence this scene discombabulates me.
Been years since I saw this, but I still remembered that ending where the sun lights up and no words are spoken from there until the credits roll. The sunlight just speaks for itself :) Very beautiful!
I totally agree -- it's not about scientific accuracy, it's about the psychological elements and the moods, the emotions. I love this movie immensely because it touched my mind and heart deeply.
I love this scene. Very good movie and beautiful music in the background. When the beautiful music is playing in the background, I imagine I am on a hill laying down and looking up at the night sky filled with lots of stars with this music playing in the background or in my head . All stressed out thoughts come out and I feel so happy and relaxed.
2:00 beautiful shot with Cappa standing between the two "suns", the one nature gave us, and the one humans created to resurrect the former. I wish i saw the movie in theatres
Such a beautiful end to an amazing movie! I saw this as a teenager, in the cinema and didn’t care for it. I bought it for a £1 in my twenties and loved it. This is a terribly underrated movie. The soundtrack alone is incredible!
Couldn't agree more, defiantly the most underrated sc-fi film. The ending is hard to put into words, so moving and the soundtrack is staggering just brilliant. Sunshine is my favourite film
In real time, his body was instantly annihilated. Everything that he was disintegrated in less than a millisecond. But for him, he had a moment of joy that seemed to stretch out to infinity. A peaceful solidarity of his knowledge that he succeeded. He reached out and touched the sun, gently caressing it, and felt no pain or agony, just the gentle light of the shining sun. Like a friend or a lover, the sun was warm in its greeting of his death.
Cillian’s performance impressed me the most in Sunshine. I’m glad that he went onto many other great roles and especially the Scarecrow and of course Oppenheimer.
One of the best movie endings ever! You can look at it any way you like! as a child's mind: the sun thanking him as a religious person: it's god as a scientific person: the distortion of spacetime as an artist: it's just beautiful as someone who like's only generic movies with poor story and great visuals they say this movie was bad and crap ending. it's just awsome!
Synteke the last person is the one who likes dwayne Johnson and marvel movies right? I saw it as the greatest ending of that decade 2000-2010 through the mind of a good movie lover.
LulzTV it I don't care what you like, don't presume that you are some sort of mastermind because you like this movie. The while plot revolves around the sun "dying" which won't happen, it is also lazily explained and silly. Saying people that like Marvel movies are stupid or close-minded just proves how smart you think you are. People don't need to watch complex and "intellectual" movies to be smart, those movies are popular because they are fun, and generally easy to follow. Next time you feel like presenting your opinion as fact, don't.
I think Boyle was paying homage to "The Creation of Adam" by Michaelangelo. But, instead of God breathing life into man, man is breathing life into God.
I remember watching this when it came out because I loved Cillian in 28 Days Later and just being absolutely blown away by it. Such a great film! So gorgeous!
To be honest, this film left me a bigger impact than Interstellar. It just felt, I don't know, more rough, more human. Interstellar was great, don't get me wrong, it had mind bending ideas behind it, but some themes felt extremely forced and some of the dialogue wasn't helping. Yes, Sunshine may have forced themes too, like that religious nut, but, when you think about it, it kind of was fitting. Music and the visuals in Sunshine were just astounding, really. Made our Sun to look so immense and at times, completely overwhelming. The final scenes were just so intense and the ending so rewarding and hopeful, I just can't recommend this film enough.
Totally agree, this movie left a far greater impression on me on so many levels it's not even close, the sacrifice, the thought that mankind actually had the tech and determination to fix the Sun!! Honestly the mass of the Sun is to great, they did not go into the tech that would fix the sun and for good reason, I think a payload the size of Earth would not make a difference, but they suppressed this move on purpose because it didn't fit the global warming agenda the UN and Govts. heavily were pushing at the time, true crime.
@@zikemdg I mean Cooper sacrificed quite a lot in Interstellar, so did the whole crew. Imagine leaving your family thinking you're gonna save the world and come back, only to be informed mid-way that the plan was never to come back, or save the world. It's your opinion, but I can't imagine Interstellar not leaving you the same impression as this movie did.
This is definitely one of my favourite movie scenes ever, and - actually, scrap that. This is one of my favourite movies ever, great casting, some amazing scenes (like this one), a soundtrack both hard and beautiful... The music in this scene makes me well up, it's just so beautiful.
Such a beautiful beautiful scene. What a glorious way to go. Scary as hell, painless but absolutely gloriously paradoxed considering the sun is the giver of all life. Now it is taking life away.... Magnificent
its embarrassing how underrated this film is
shows the stupidity of people, only interested in big explosions.... and love stories...

scientifically possible or not this movie is beautiful
This is the only movie I can actually compare to Interstellar.. such a great movie. And its "surface of the sun" theme? Epic.
This is better but cmon Interstellar is a masterpiece.
Sunshine and interstellar are brothers
This movie is farrr better than Interstellar. Far simpler sroty and execution, but it works better for it
fuck intershitter. this movie is the best.
Rand Om This movie sucks dick
I love Interstellar but man. You gotta watch more space movies. Starting with 2001: A Space Oddeyssy.
This has to be one of the best directed films of all time. The echoing, or foreshadowing, I don't know how to put it, of how simple their task is, but the magnitude of impossibilities that push against them, its awe inspiring. When he touches the surface of the sun, only a true quantum physicist can grasp what is happening - space and time cease to exist, yet are the only things in existence at that moment, the paradoxical event - its just mind-blowing. Cillian Murphy played the part to perfection. Sunshine, what a film!!!
So poetic and metaphorical. We fight always live a good and fruitful life
The way this scene is shot, coupled with the score & Cappa's look of relief & realignment always makes me cry a bit. He literally gets to experience a moment most dream of but never achieve.
One day you will reach that point. And it will be the most beautiful thing you have ever experienced.
But you will no longer be able to tell people that they need not be afraid. If life has meaning, death must also have meaning...
I always come back to watch this scene, and I always get melancholy feeling mixed with peacefulness.
I watched this movie with my wife back when we were teenagers and she asked me whether it was based on a true story…….
Yes that significant historical event when the Sun almost blew up.
Ur wife must be blonde
Please indulge me in my hypothesis, I’m willing to bet she gives you fantastic head
you realized that she was so dumb you had to protect her. so you married her?
el sol esta en su media vida ,5.000 mil millones de años ,le quedan otros 5000mil millones ,cuando agote su combustible se encogerá y quemara otros materiales y se expandirá convirtiéndose una enana roja y con ello todo el sistema solar será devorado por el sol ,el ser humano no llegara a verlo ya nos habremos extinguidos .
You found a good woman.
That lil Irish fella sure knows how to emote a film every single production he has ever done inc the olympics is just so fabulous 🥰🥰
Such a good film, 2024 still loves this film
The atmosphere and surreality of this movie is exceptional. It has the horror of Event Horizon, the psychology and science of Interstellar and the soundtrack is just gorgeous. A criminally underrated Sci fi. I remember seeing at the cinema and exiting it. I was by the ocean and the sun was setting. It made me look at the sun differently. The sheer power of that thing is terrifying.
It's not underrated, though. It has 76% on Rotten Tomatoes. Wish people would stop calling things 'underrated' just to create an effect.
So much better than 'Interstellar,' IMO.
In terms of pure emotional impact, I'd go with the incredible Arrival rather than Interstellar any day of the week
There is no view of the Sydney Opera house like that. Took me right out at the end
I love how the moment this song starts playing you instantly have the words "mission accomplished" in your head.
Such an underrated movie. The soundtrack, cinematography, casting, plot, all of it just oozes genius. This ending especially, it's beautiful. I seriously can't believe that this didn't get more recognition.
1:30 til the end of the video....that's just one of the best scenes I've seen in a movie ever. The visuals, the music, Cillian Murphy's performance. It's just so beautiful and transcendent, it actually made me tear up

This scene was beyond breathtaking. I really regret not seeing it in the theaters. You could see the happiness in kappa's face even when he knew that he was few seconds from death. In his mind, he was saying 'Its over, it's finally over, we finally did it.'
The final shot of new light bursting onto a desolate snowy scene is the cherry on top. Such a fantastic film.
And then the horrible song that played during the end credits almost ruined the mood
the rest of the movie has unbelievably mesmerizing sound design the soundtrack especially in the scene is spellbinding
Just watched this...wow what a movie...totally enjoyed it!
Alex Garland has some powerful stories - one of the most underrated writers.
I loved this ending. Humanity gets another chance with a warm embrace.
Is that a pun?
Don't forget about the Animal Kingdom as well
"So if you wake up one morning and it's a particularly beautiful day, you'll know we made it."
Oppenheimer’s gonna blow up the sun now
One of THE most beautiful endings I’ve ever seen on film…. Moves me to tears every time. The sincerity conveyed, the peace, the relief, but also the bittersweet ness that goes into not only going out… but doing it well… and legit putting all fear aside and doing everything you can, as a human being, to save everyone you can. It just doesn’t matter at that point… fear, doubt, unbelief, even the instinct to survive, all fades away for him…. And even cooler still, he legit gets to enjoy, due to time literal slowing down, the raw brilliance and beauty of the cosmos, it one of its rawest forms…. it’s so very beautiful. It’s truly, EXISTENTIALLY beautiful….
.. if time is slowing down why aren’t his thoughts also slower? Would all be the same “over in a flash” from his perspective surely?
@@daniel_tennerI think the scene does this more for effect, kind of like the last moment of his life stretched to infinity per se. Having his moment to actually witness the sun that close, almost like it’s saying thank you to him. Great scene.
But yea, in reality, the millisecond the sun breached the wall he would have instantly died.
I absolutely love the soundtrack for this movie ❤️ so good 👌🏻
I’ve watched this movie about five times last night. I’m a huge sci fan and this was definitely underrated. The special effects was just breathtaking. This scene made tears stream down my face. To watch Capa reach out and touch the surface of the sun blissfully in his final moments was beautiful.
Still the most beautiful and brilliant movie I have ever seen. You are amazing Cill.
Also just imagine witnessing your dying sun suddenly enlarge and the shine of it youve never seen for months just suddenly stretch over you and the land you step on it less than a minute. THATS LIKE MAJESTIC TO YOUR EYES.
This score…this scene…this film is just absolutely phenomenal! God, the Sun, is so giving and taking. Such an allegory of God.
The greatest ending I have ever seen in a Sci-Fi film or likely to see ever again!!! Awesome sound & visuals throughout the whole film!!!
Love this film. Just saw it for the first time. So underrated. and may add how gorgeous Cillian is! Great actor.
He touched the sun and burned in gravity distorted time for heaven’s sake. How is this not a top 10 greatest scene ever? Criminally underrated!!!
This movie is filled with so many incredible scenes honestly it's unbelievably underrated
An absolutely avant-garde finale to an exceptional film!
I cried at how absolutely beautiful this movie actually turned out to be....one of the most orginal, inspired, cerebrial sci-fi films ever & the BEST sci-fi film in the past 20 years. I real piece of cinematic gold. Cudos Danny Boyle & thankyou for a wonderful film :)
Beautiful ending..made the whole movie worth watching
The ending is beautiful, when the sun brightens and light flows over the landscape, it’s shows there sacrifices were not in vein.
As someone who lived in Sydney, it is a stupid shot
There is nothing like that field around the opera house, and even the other side from what is shown doesn't have a view like that
It looks like someone just plonked a statue of the opera house in a field in Europe
physics cannot explain what would happen if the ending of this movie actually took place...so there is no wrong answer...who is to say that you wouldn't have a pause in time between your utter destruction? For all we know Capa could live a lifetime in that moment
for me it was just cappa coming to terms with his fear of dying and enjoying his final moments of bliss in what feels like eternity
The do make it clear in the film that everything distorts, twists, bends and breaks, laws of physics and all.
That aside though, that film is just downright beautiful
The cube gained such a high speed approaching the sun that time inside it slowed down as much as possible, I saw something that lasted a split second! Amazing!
A representation of what would happen in a billionth of a second because of the immense gravitational pull of the Sun
I highly recommend the commentary Track by professor Brian Cox
This is what I don't understand. Time should look to you the same, the laws of physics should remain the same in your perspective.
Time would be infinitely slower compared to what it is on earth, but for the people in the cube, the physics should be the same and hence this scene discombabulates me.
I ALWAYS get teary when watching this ending. THIS, is what I call the sublime.
It is hard not feel moved when Cappa reaches out and touches the sun........
Been years since I saw this, but I still remembered that ending where the sun lights up and no words are spoken from there until the credits roll. The sunlight just speaks for itself :) Very beautiful!
Who cares about scientific accuracies when you get moments as beautiful as this.
I totally agree -- it's not about scientific accuracy, it's about the psychological elements and the moods, the emotions. I love this movie immensely because it touched my mind and heart deeply.
Such a great film
I love this scene. Very good movie and beautiful music in the background. When the beautiful music is playing in the background, I imagine I am on a hill laying down and looking up at the night sky filled with lots of stars with this music playing in the background or in my head . All stressed out thoughts come out and I feel so happy and relaxed.
To truly see something like that. One could only be so lucky.
This movie was incredible. I loved it. Horrendously underrated.
2:00 beautiful shot with Cappa standing between the two "suns", the one nature gave us, and the one humans created to resurrect the former.
I wish i saw the movie in theatres
Lile a modern Prometheus, giving back the fire he stole
Such a beautiful end to an amazing movie!
I saw this as a teenager, in the cinema and didn’t care for it. I bought it for a £1 in my twenties and loved it.
This is a terribly underrated movie. The soundtrack alone is incredible!
Couldn't agree more, defiantly the most underrated sc-fi film. The ending is hard to put into words, so moving and the soundtrack is staggering just brilliant. Sunshine is my favourite film
Between the music and special effects, this scene really made the whole movie.
In real time, his body was instantly annihilated. Everything that he was disintegrated in less than a millisecond.
But for him, he had a moment of joy that seemed to stretch out to infinity. A peaceful solidarity of his knowledge that he succeeded. He reached out and touched the sun, gently caressing it, and felt no pain or agony, just the gentle light of the shining sun. Like a friend or a lover, the sun was warm in its greeting of his death.
I wish you luck in your career as a substitute English teacher. Try not to hurt yourself.
i believe the force of the bomb created a bubble around him for a moment
The power of the sun, in the palm of my hand
It's just a spike! It'll soon stabilize!
I knew I'd find this line eventually
Just everyone's sacrifice to reach this defining moment to save humanity.
Cillian’s performance impressed me the most in Sunshine. I’m glad that he went onto many other great roles and especially the Scarecrow and of course Oppenheimer.
He literally touched the sun..everytime im outside I look up, stare at the sun, and remember this magical scene
One of the best movie endings ever!
You can look at it any way you like!
as a child's mind: the sun thanking him
as a religious person: it's god
as a scientific person: the distortion of spacetime
as an artist: it's just beautiful
as someone who like's only generic movies with poor story and great visuals they say this movie was bad and crap ending.
it's just awsome!
Synteke the last person is the one who likes dwayne Johnson and marvel movies right? I saw it as the greatest ending of that decade 2000-2010 through the mind of a good movie lover.
LulzTV it Ok bud.
Tristan Abalos I am 13. I love sunshine and blade runner 2049.
LulzTV it I don't care what you like, don't presume that you are some sort of mastermind because you like this movie. The while plot revolves around the sun "dying" which won't happen, it is also lazily explained and silly. Saying people that like Marvel movies are stupid or close-minded just proves how smart you think you are. People don't need to watch complex and "intellectual" movies to be smart, those movies are popular because they are fun, and generally easy to follow. Next time you feel like presenting your opinion as fact, don't.
A human touching the sun.........
Yep great scene
One of my favorite films ever
I think Boyle was paying homage to "The Creation of Adam" by Michaelangelo. But, instead of God breathing life into man, man is breathing life into God.
No, seriously, just no.
It can also be interpreted as the story of Icarus. A man that got too close to the sun and ended up getting his wings burned off.
By being made in god's image, we inherently got some godly traits aswell.
No.
@@Kanthannic why
Capa : "Excuse me sir, your package has arrived"
Sun : "Ayyy, thanks mate, I was about to die waiting for the package"
Capa : "No problem sir, enjoy"
👏👏👏👏👏👍😀
This movie was wayyyyyy ahead of its time.. by about 7 years
I remember watching this when it came out because I loved Cillian in 28 Days Later and just being absolutely blown away by it. Such a great film! So gorgeous!
To be honest, this film left me a bigger impact than Interstellar. It just felt, I don't know, more rough, more human. Interstellar was great, don't get me wrong, it had mind bending ideas behind it, but some themes felt extremely forced and some of the dialogue wasn't helping.
Yes, Sunshine may have forced themes too, like that religious nut, but, when you think about it, it kind of was fitting.
Music and the visuals in Sunshine were just astounding, really. Made our Sun to look so immense and at times, completely overwhelming.
The final scenes were just so intense and the ending so rewarding and hopeful, I just can't recommend this film enough.
You must watch Ad Astra, it's brilliant. Fantastic performance from Brad Pitt
I still prefer interstellar but I LOVE Sunshine.
Interstellar has a really poor script (and dialogues) and still is quite pretentious
Totally agree, this movie left a far greater impression on me on so many levels it's not even close, the sacrifice, the thought that mankind actually had the tech and determination to fix the Sun!! Honestly the mass of the Sun is to great, they did not go into the tech that would fix the sun and for good reason, I think a payload the size of Earth would not make a difference, but they suppressed this move on purpose because it didn't fit the global warming agenda the UN and Govts. heavily were pushing at the time, true crime.
@@zikemdg I mean Cooper sacrificed quite a lot in Interstellar, so did the whole crew. Imagine leaving your family thinking you're gonna save the world and come back, only to be informed mid-way that the plan was never to come back, or save the world. It's your opinion, but I can't imagine Interstellar not leaving you the same impression as this movie did.

I watched this movie when I was a kid and I was absolutely terrified but I liked
Now I'm 27 years old and I understand why my old self liked it.
This is definitely one of my favourite movie scenes ever, and - actually, scrap that. This is one of my favourite movies ever, great casting, some amazing scenes (like this one), a soundtrack both hard and beautiful... The music in this scene makes me well up, it's just so beautiful.
I always come back to this scene the music, the cinematography is off the charts
My favorite movie and such a beautiful scene. Every time the score kicks in and I hear Capa's message it makes me cry.
Such a beautiful beautiful scene. What a glorious way to go. Scary as hell, painless but absolutely gloriously paradoxed considering the sun is the giver of all life. Now it is taking life away.... Magnificent
My favorite scene in any film ever...
The music in this place is mesmerizing, spellbinding . I've never encountered anything so hauntingly beautiful and enchanting
I appreciated this movie more the 2nd time! Amazing
I play this over and over again, makes me feel better
Movie had it's problems, but that scene with the visuals, the soundtrack and the actor, gave me goosebumps.
The last 12 seconds were so powerful...
I play these scene over and over again
How the light takes over the darkness, it's beautiful.
