Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  • During the battle between rebels and government forces in the end when Theo rushes in to rescue Kee. As he's leading her out to the waiting boat, her baby starts to cry; a sound that hasn't been heard by anyone for years. Both soldiers and rebels stop fighting and stand in stunned silence as Theo and Kee pass by with the baby. Some pray, some reach out to touch the baby. Through all the destruction, chaos and despair, hope shines through.
    • Also a Crowning Moment of cinematography considering how long that continuous take was.
    • Also, the leader of the soldiers calls for the rest of the troops to cease fire so Theo, Kee, and the baby can leave safely. Keep in mind that these were the same soldiers who shot refugees who were trying to peacefully surrender.
  • Jasper telling Kee and Miriam about Theo and Julian's late son, Dylan.
    • Not to mention the final scene in which Kee tells Theo that she'll name her daughter Dylan after his son. There was no greater act of gratitude she could have shown him.
  • The final scene where Jasper (Michael Caine) says goodbye to his catatonic mother. As he opens up a suicide kit for her, the song "Ruby Tuesday" plays in the background.
Cquote1

 She would never say where she came from

Yesterday don't matter if it's gone

While the sun is bright

Or in the darkest night

No one knows

She comes and goes



Goodbye, ruby tuesday

Who could hang a name on you?

When you change with every new day

Still I'm gonna miss you...

Cquote2
    • Fairly sure that was his wife, not his mother. She's catatonic because of her torture at the hands of the government, not from old age. Of course, this only makes the scene more poignant.
