I am deaf to the end. minute The revenge plots are pretty good, he even gets a badass final line before leaving too.

God resets.

Then explain to me why you won't, because Mastery is simply One of the many reasons why this remains one of Lewis's best performances and that's saying something after watching John Proctor lie, fight and cry through his false verdict, all he has left is his name and a prayer for him that seems to be enough. but yours is the kingdom the power and the glory forever and ever number 12 the Valkyrie conspirators in 1944 a group of Germans conspired to assassinate Hitler and take back their country from the Nazi regime unfortunately, like anyone with even a passing knowledge of history You know, your story knows. t have a happy ending in a bold creative move Valkyrie commits to the cruel realities of its storied story even though it means killing off its entire main cast in its final minutes, we have to share the world that not all of us will like, since Whether by a hanging firing squad or worse, they are all put into body bags in a sequence that is nothing short of Haunting, add committed acting and a spectacular score and this scene practically needs its own box of tissues number 11.

Ready Ready Aim himself number two John Coffey The Green Mile in its final minutes John Coffey was even more afraid of the darkness than his own death don't get me started even though he was falsely convicted even though he could have escaped and even though that he had the power to cause Miracles the cafe accepted his fate with dignity the guards also knew it even though they have done this many times before it is the cafe's death that leaves them all crying honestly it's hard resist joining them, if not during the final words over coffee, then definitely when Tom Hanks' Paul is forced to give the order, the phrase Crush the Soul doesn't even do it justice.
