For me- I think it was the 'car crash scene' when redemption, and forgiveness occurred. [Actually a lot of conflicted feeling occurred and were resolved ... I think. :) ]
What an absolutely fabulous film IMO. Wow.
When the little girl, says. Wait he's not wearing it and runs out to protect her father. She has the cloak of invincibity on.
shareThat part always gets me too.
shareThat was the part that I let out a little scream. Glad it was in our living room. It had already been established what a close relationship he had with his daughter and wouldn't want her to see him get hurt.
Would there be any pain if the child was hit with the blank bullet?

Yes, but if it's close-range, there's still a very serious risk of injury, at the least, and at impact range (gun to the temple, for instance) it's deadly:
Jon-Erik Hexum died on the set of the TV series "Cover Up" that way. He was fooling around, put the gun to his temple jokingly, and pulled the trigger. The gas expansion was powerful enough to shove a quarter-sized piece of his skull right into his brain. Wikipedia has a page on him.
More recently (2008), a kid was killed with blanks during a High School play: http://www.ksl.com/?sid=4812167
That scene makes me cry everytime I watch it, and I never cry in movies. I can literally put Crash on, skip to that one scene and it'll still get me.
sharewhen the white man kills the black boy and gets away with it...
shareThe movie is full of GUT-wrenching (as in thrilling and shocking) scenes. But HEART-wrenching (as in touching or sad)? I'd say when WATERS' mom tells him to go away, and then says his brother brought her groceries.
shareWhen Matt Dillon's character was trying to help his sick father, and he couldn't do anything at all.
shareDana, I totally agree. That social worker was a black racist woman and just because the Matt Dillion character was stressed out she made an excuse to not help him. It's like anyone working at the DMV. Abuse of power. He loved his dad and wanted to help him. The Dillion character was not a bad person.
shareThis comment is so stupid lol
Dillion literally goes in and starts spewing racist garbage at her and she is the racist? Its impressive to be this detached from reality and still able to type.
The part where the little girl jumps into her daddy's arms. I want to rip my heart out and throw it at the screen so that the blood will obscure the really crappy cinematography from that scene.
shareI want to cover my eyes and ears to block the terrible acting.
I am an *beep* but my friends compensate for that.

I don't understand how people can take the scene seriously. It makes no sense, and the acting is terrible.

they ignore the store owner had just threatened the Locksmith w/ what he thought was an armed pistol, and even pulled the trigger on him.
Are you kidding ? That scene was hilarious, don't be so easily manipulated, are people really that stupid?
shareThe rescue from the car may have been kinda cliched, but it got to me.
The girl jumping into her father's arms was probably the low point of the film for me, I'm sorry to say. Something about it seemed really sloppy and forced.
Oh, and that white cop shooting his black friend in the car. That was gut-wrenching.
The shooting is incredibly forced. The people act like idiots for the sake of a dramatic moment.
I am an *beep* but my friends compensate for that.
I didn't think the rescue from the car was cliched. I thought it was brilliant cinematography. That is probably why it got to you! It was amazing. The emotions were so raw, to close to the surface. It looked almost like a sex scene. It was powerful and intimate and incredible. Don't knock yourself -- you have good taste and the fact that you liked that scene proves it.
shareIt was only really cliche because of the whole "rescued in the nick of time" type thing. Other than that, yes it was well shot.
shareWhen the daughter jumped into her dad's arms to protect him from getting shot with her invisible cloak.
shareWhat is the most heart-wrenching scene in this movie for you?
This is probably my favourite reply in all of imdb. You feel nothing while watching the film and based on this you:
A) feel informed enough to make assumptions about the audience of this film;
B) feel intellectually superior enough to assess what they liked about this film;
C) conclude that others having different emotions make them easy to please.
Well done!
I understand that you cried your heart out watching the movie. No need to get butthurt and all. We have different taste, right? Amiright? Amiright?
