one good man | Chernobyl (2019) Episode 5

"I'm an inconsequential man, Valera. That's all I've ever been. I hoped that one day I would matter, but I didn't. I just stood next to people who did"

"For god's sake, Boris, you were the one who mattered most" :)

This clip was taken from 2019 HBO miniseries, Chernobyl. I do not own any of the footage and all credit goes to HBO and their talented team.

“Of all the ministers and all the deputies, an entire congregation of obedient fools. They mistakenly sent the one good man.”
Best line in the film

“For god’s sake Boris, you were the one who mattered most.” 😭

[TheDrunkHamster]

Best part of the series. Boris just wanted to make a difference in the end. As you get closer to death, you begin to appreciate the very small things in life. Hence, the Caterpillar

[StickyBuns]

Boris went from my least-favorite to my most-favorite character.

Boris had more character development than most characters have in entire movies/TV series.

[tritonmole]

A morally destroyed man conforting his dying friend with honest appretiation. Excellent writing.

[xinghaohuang]

This is the key point when Legasov decides to tell the truth

[RtB]

“I just stood besides the people who did...” Think of the weight in that confession from Boris given his feelings for Velera at the beginning of the series. Now THAT is character arc.

[andrewmiller]

I am not going to lie, this scene made me tear up a lot. This scene captures so much raw emotion that it's overwhelming. Brilliant stuff.

[limeliness]

the fact that he uses Legasov's nickname. not his last name. not even just his name. his nickname. it makes this scene hit even harder.

[craigsimons]

I cried 3.6 tears during this scene! Not great, not terrible...

[pranjalvw]

"They heard me but they listened to you"

Awesome line

[GrippeeTV]

They started out enemies and ended up brothers, both of them ultimately sacrificing their lives for their country and their people. Boris’s character came so far. I’ve always had a fascination with Chernobyl, I’ve studied it for years and it made me super interested in nuclear physics - this series did it so much justice. This mini series will live on forever just like the event itself.

[matthuggmusic]

The fact that Borris didn’t swat or kill the bug on his leg but instead pick it up and appreciate its beauty just goes to show that he is good man.

[MrPibbx]

Three dislikes from the KGB operatives tailing them.

[nzalex]

This scene is really expresses the sadness of the situation. Two dying heroes, and nobody appreciate what they done for the cost of their life in this unhuman stupid system. Very sad for them, they were two truly great men.

[flightofthebumblebee]

Boris can die peacefully knowing that he saved literally millions of lives. He and Valery made the SELFLESS decision and it was not even a decision to him it was his duty. God bless these 2 heroes. They saved Europe...NEVER forget that.

[percyplant]

One of my favorite scene in the series.
The heartfelt interaction between Boris and Legaslov is just so moving. ❤😢

[troiko]

Who else cried during this scene . My favorite bromance in tv history 😭😭😭😭😭

[dmar]

This was a Master Class in character development and professional acting.

[dicktrolington]

I love the caterpillar's acting in this scene. It should have been nominated for the Oscars.
