Most Moving Movie Dialogue

Movies all have those characters that you fall in love with. Sometimes they may be the wise ones, or the stupid ones. The one who jokes around, or the shy one that ends up doing something great at the end. Movies are full of inspiration and moving moments, along with some dark parts mixed in. Notice that every great film ever made has a conflict and resolution in it. It's what we as humans like and are attracted to. It's what makes it great.

For me, the following quote is probably the most moving couple of sentences I have ever heard in a movie. Not only does it personally affect me, but it's just about life. It's straight to the point, but has some philosophical thinking mixed in. Overall it's an incredible section in the dialogue to The Lord of The Rings.



Samwise Gamgee: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo; the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end... because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was, when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
 
Frodo Baggins: What are we holding on to, Sam?
 
Samwise Gamgee: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.
