the final scene

dwiski

I saw this film only once the year it was released and the only thing I can actually remember about it has me chomping at the bit to see it again. It is the final scene where Allan Breck was led out into the beautiful Scotland countryside by his captors, presumably to certain execution. As he looked around at the land he loved so much in sad resignation, Mary Hopkin's sweet soprano sang "For all my days upon the earth, for mountains high and valleys green, for mist that rolls in from the sea, I thank you Lord for sharing this with me." I'm sure I've remembered only the gist of the song, but I also remember some serious goosebumps and teary eyes during that scene.

score 9/10
