This scene makes me feel like they caught how depression and suicidal thoughts feel. When your family gets a glimpse they get scared but never really see it. If feels like no one can see you
I agree, but I also see it from a flipped angle: Loved ones who suffer from suicidal thoughts and depression become so wrapped in their inner demons, they don't notice you trying to make them feel better, because sometimes NOTHING CAN make them feel better. Then we get frustrated, saddened, or lost not knowing how to help. You just want to scream and tell them you love them, but they can't see & hear you. You're just...not there.
They can't bear the thought that you might take your life, dude. They just can't. Or what they could have done differently earlier on in your life to help things turn out a different way. It torments them. So they turn aside.
“I was screaming and shouting and none of you could see me” Just a beautiful parallel about how she kept telling them about her ghost and no one payed attention
I think it goes deeper than that. Given how Hill House has several metaphors about depression and grief, I think it doubles as how Nell's family never really paid attention to her troubles, and never really heard or saw her, even though she was "screaming." Unfortunately, in real life, more often than not people who are clearly screaming for help with mental health issues are ignored and left to die from them.
The girl who plays young Nell is so incredibly talented for her age. This scene especially hits hard because poor young Nell already starts suffering so much from a young age.
This scene hits a lot harder when you think about the very first episode and how Nell calls her siblings and basically most of them just ignore her. A great example of the “never take things (or in this case, a person) for granted”.
Yeah, that's probably why theo broke down after touching her not because of her death but how they basically ignored her feelings which indirectly led to her death
no i don’t think that’s why she broke down. she broke down because she felt the black nothingness of death/the void in her sisters lifeless body (she says it)
“I was right here… I didn’t go anywhere. I was right here. I was right here the whole time. None of you could see me. Nobody could see me…” God… it’s so heartbreaking. And it hurts more when it’s her child self so this sad little girl’s voice just STABS ME THROUGH THE HEART.
I like how we all thought the bent-neck lady was a demonic and harmful entity but the more we learned its story, the bent-neck lady was Nell this whole time, it was just a lost and vulnerable entity begging to be seen and heard. I used to be scared, but now I cry when I see the bent-neck lady
When they all come to Nell and the lights come back on....Ahhhhh, why does that always get to me? It shows how she was their light in the darkness, the one who looked up to her siblings and parents with absolutely no baggage in her heart. And the "I was screaming and crying and none of you could see me" brb eyes getting blurry
She really was the light in their darkness… she tried to be the glue that kept them all together. Even right before this scene how her spirit knocked over her own casket in order to stop their screaming and saying horrible things to one another. 😢 this show absolutely shatters me in some parts and this is one of them
My favorite scene was the long one-take shot that also took place in this funeral, where the camera was spinning slowly and the characters are replaced by the younger of themselves as the camera rotates.
poor nell. she deserved so much better. her story will always make me cry. 00:32 love how luke is softly and gently holding her hand. it was always luke, the only one always there for her.
The sad thing is that his own demons kept him from being there physically - and when he was he guilted her into getting him "well" one more time. I can't imagine how that kind of guilt felt for him thereafter.
One of the sadest scenes I've ever watched in a TV show. I know she is a ghost and it is supposed to be scary as well, but any fear I could possibly feel just became shrinking small compared to how heartbroken I was while watching this.
I'd say the ghost was only supposed to be scary when we didn't yet know who she was or what her intentions were. By this point in the story, we've learned that the Bent-Neck Lady was poor Nell all along, and now despite her frightening appearance, the sight of that ghost just makes you feel sad.
This whole episode is my favorite and this scene made me more emotional than the whole show because how much I relate to Nell feeling like nobody can see her. Because I’m autistic and my whole life nobody has understood me and saw me as a nuisance instead of understanding my struggles and helping me, and I have to “mask” all my autistic traits to not freak anyone out or be a burden to anyone, to the point where the the issues get so bad that I try to take my life in hopes of everyone seeing me. “I was right here the whole time but you couldn’t see me. Nobody could see me.”
Hey, I just watched this show yesterday and I saw this comment and I just wanted to tell you that I don't understand what it's like to be you, but I can say that there are people in this world who would totally accept you for all that you are and all that you want to be. Autism isn't something that you should ever have to hide, as is any sort of condition that anyone goes through. I hope someday you feel comfortable enough to not feel ashamed of yourself. You are NOT a burden. You're a human being, and you're alive. That's beautiful. I hope you have a great day!
Can u give me some tips too? on how to hide everything inside me perfectly.... I hate making people realize how broken I am... Cuz all of them thinks I'm just a hypocrite 🙂
It’s fascinating how they portray the house as something of a nocturnal predator animal who sleep in the day and hunts at night making it sorta save only when the sun is still up
@@KS2025KS Very good point and absolutely critical to the nature of the house. It is cunning and cruel, and it operates on false and real patterns/"rules" that destabilize and terrorize its inhabitants, tenderizing them with fear and distrust and hopelessness. Even the idea that the house is safer in daylight, which plays on human feelings of security in light, is a lie. It is merely a different stage of danger.
Heartbreaking scene. Was not expecting this show to be so emotional. Poor Nell. Everything that happened to her revolved around her own death. Her tormented, deformed ghost standing right there and her family had no idea. Makes the last episode even more bittersweet. She's not alone anymore.
This scene breaks my heart. Its just so great but heartbreaking. Nellie's life was so tragic...No one ever believed her or Luke, even in adulthood. Phenomenal writing and the actors are amazing.
This moment hits different as the youngest child in the family. Timid, docile, well-behaved. Always the smallest person in the room. Thinking you have the power to somehow mend all the broken pieces together, while you have no voice in what’s about to happen. You were right there and nobody could see you.
I have never cried as much as I did over a TV show character. This ending broke me, and I literally cried for two hours straight. So damn heartbreaking....incredible writing.
Just how I feel every single day of my life. Actually why am I here if nobody can see me. What am I actually doing here. I feel that I don't even serve a purpose.
Because Theo has more of a filled out face, that's not a knock on either character or actress, and when you hang... Your face swells. I thought that too in one of my first viewings! 😢 Brilliant show.
For me, it's a metaphor for yielding or fighting love or fear like Steve says. You can't do both and you can't deal with either halfway. They were just scared...and it's hard to love someone unconditionally when you're scared all the time
1. House made her invisible to play with their minds. 2. She and Luke were the youngest of them, therefore hill house's effect on them was much worse. It made the twins 'deranged adults' in the eyes of their elderly siblings. So no matter how much they tried to tell their siblings about their troubles, they never cared enough. Therefore Nelly was 'there all the time' but 'nobody could see her'.
The metaphor is about depression. How the signs are missed even though the depressed/suicidal person screams for help often. Nobody listens or see the signs until it’s already too late. “I was right here , and nobody could see me”. The house was foreshadowing her future and how none of her siblings could see her or would be there for her .. even believe her. They treated her like she was insane and ignored her until she couldn’t handle it anymore and took her life. She was right there the entire time but nobody could bother to see her
This scene makes me feel like they caught how depression and suicidal thoughts feel. When your family gets a glimpse they get scared but never really see it. If feels like no one can see you

@@DigiDestined558 that reminds me so much of corpse bride
Yes... 😣it hurts so much

Yup. Everybody runs. No matter what anybody or the fucking media says. You end up alone. Cause people are scared to the core.
“I was screaming and shouting and none of you could see me” Just a beautiful parallel about how she kept telling them about her ghost and no one payed attention
And it was her, no one could see her then or now

Mike Flanagan knows how to pick and direct child actors.
She was literally six when they filmed this
She also appeared in Black Widow, and did a great job there too.
@@stephenblack5425 she was?
@@in_vino_veritas7938 yup
She knocked over her own casket to get them to stop fighting and arguing.
Exactly!

Agreed the way my mouth dropped at the "nobody could see me"
This is honestly one of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen in any TV show

It wasn't "supposed to be" scary at all.
Currently rewatching Hill House and we just finished this scene so of course I had to look it up while eating dinner to cry AGAIN 😭😭😭😭
Lmao right? Why do I go OUT OF MY WAY to look up the sad nell scenes, just to cry?!
This scene always makes me cry😭😭

It's incredible how an horror series can make you feel terrified and emotional at the same time...

But the house played it's tricks all along during the day time too

Ugh! Poor Nell! I haven’t felt this heartbroken for a ghost since Patrick Swayze’s character in ghost.
This is imo the best/most heartbreaking cinematic episode of the series, this scene in particular 😢
One of the most saddest, powerful tearjerker of all time for me.
Best scene in the entire series, I forgot the entire storyline, but never this one scene "I was right here", the pain you feel for her...
This moment hits different as the youngest child in the family. Timid, docile, well-behaved. Always the smallest person in the room. Thinking you have the power to somehow mend all the broken pieces together, while you have no voice in what’s about to happen. You were right there and nobody could see you.
Ooooofff...
This scene has really stuck with me since I first watched the show. This whole episode could’ve just been a movie. Really well done.
I have never cried as much as I did over a TV show character. This ending broke me, and I literally cried for two hours straight. So damn heartbreaking....incredible writing.
this scene actually broke me
So sad, haunting and beautiful at the same time. This show is a masterpiece. 💜 ✨
0:39 "come on, we'll see her tomorrow"
How true that was 🥺
omg I didn't realize
What does that mean I don't get it
I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much than when I watched this episode. This entire show was a true masterpiece.
Still one of my favorite episodes of all the series that I watched
i’m rewatching hill house right now with my brother who has never seen it before, i just know i’m gonna cry like i do every time 😭
This scene is one of a handful of scenes in movies or TV shows that has genuinely saddened me. Usually I'm pretty stoic, but this one really hit hard.
I can’t stop watching this
I swear... I never in a million years would think the sight of a ghostly apparition would make me cry so hard... this was such an emotional ending.
This is my favorite scene. It always makes me cry.
That is just heart breaking
Oh I cried so much in this part 🥺🥺🥺
I come back to this video every month just to let it out
Thank you for putting this clip up.
The end of that scene, seeing poor Nell just standing there looking heartbroken absolutely breaks me. I always end up crying a little
Idk how they made a scene so terrifying and so sad at the same time.
Man, this show is unbelievably good.
Little Nell might be the cutest thing iv seen absolutely adorable
One of the best scenes
One of the saddest parts of the show. Dead nell being right there and no one could see her 🤧
if you tell me you didn't cry during this scene then you're either lying or failed to connect with the show.
This scene literally break my heart ❤❤❤
Fuck this is a powerful scene
The best scene
that mf house!!!!! my blood is still boiling none of them deserved any of that 😭
Just how I feel every single day of my life. Actually why am I here if nobody can see me. What am I actually doing here. I feel that I don't even serve a purpose.
I felt like that for a long time. Idk what your circumstances are but you'll find your purpose someday. Hope you're doing ok buddy
Lord, I cry so much everytime I see this episode... Averytime i THINK of this episode. Nell destroyed me T_T
omg this is not just a TV series
how to make good horror: include as much melodrama as humanly possible
This reminds me so much of Lake Mungo.
I feel like when Luke looked back at Nell in her casket that one last time… he could see her ghost standing there looking back at him 😢😢
the last scene is a very scary scene, but none of us were scared... its just sad
Ugh. Tears.
"Nobody could see me"
❤️
Story of my life what she says. 🤣
I feel bad for Luke and Nell as a child & adult Luke.
The twins hit hard
The saddest scene ive ever seen....
Eu estava aqui o tempo todo.. :/
Why does Nell in the coffin look more like the Theo actress than the Nell actress?
Because Theo has more of a filled out face, that's not a knock on either character or actress, and when you hang... Your face swells. I thought that too in one of my first viewings! 😢
Brilliant show.
So was she there or not
She was there for all of it
Yes
Nell is the one who knocked over the casket to get everyone to stop fighting and arguing.
I didnt understand, why couldnt anyone see her??
there wasn't a real reason, it was just a metaphor for the present day nell
For me, it's a metaphor for yielding or fighting love or fear like Steve says. You can't do both and you can't deal with either halfway. They were just scared...and it's hard to love someone unconditionally when you're scared all the time
Because the house took her and made her invisible
1. House made her invisible to play with their minds.
2. She and Luke were the youngest of them, therefore hill house's effect on them was much worse. It made the twins 'deranged adults' in the eyes of their elderly siblings. So no matter how much they tried to tell their siblings about their troubles, they never cared enough. Therefore Nelly was 'there all the time' but 'nobody could see her'.
The metaphor is about depression. How the signs are missed even though the depressed/suicidal person screams for help often. Nobody listens or see the signs until it’s already too late. “I was right here , and nobody could see me”. The house was foreshadowing her future and how none of her siblings could see her or would be there for her .. even believe her. They treated her like she was insane and ignored her until she couldn’t handle it anymore and took her life. She was right there the entire time but nobody could bother to see her
This is legitimately what being transgender feels like except i dont have a luke :(
So ScArY
