Make fun of me if you want. But almost every time I get drunk, before I go to bed I watch this. What a movie. No words

[zackwajer]

The ending of this movie, is by far one of the most powerful endings out there. Truly deep. I cry every time i see this, and I'm not ashamed at all cause if you don't, then you really understand.

"My love, you're strong and you'll do well in life. I love you and my children deeply. Today and tomorrow, let each day grow and grow. Keep smiling and never give up even when things get you down. So in closing my love. Tonight tuck my children in bed warmly. Tell them I love them, and then hug them for me and give them both a kiss goodnight for Daddy."

Women cry at Titanic; Men cry at Black Hawk Down.

[aaronsmith]

That letter. I listen to it over and over again and I just can’t hold back the emotional wave that hits my soul.

rest in peace for the ones that who didn't make it alive, mostly my family member, Lorenzo Ruiz

[sachinbagga]

A soldier dies, to which country he belongs doesn't matters. He gave his life to defend a belief. We all should respect that, no matter he fought for you or against you. He lived like a warrior and died like a warrior.

The parents of Corporal Jamie Smith, the fallen soldier who Eversmann is talking to, were a big reason why Mark Bowden was able to write the book on which this is based. They assured Jamie’s Ranger brothers that Bowden could be trusted to write an accurate account of what happened. If you’re a fan of the film, I highly recommend you read the book. It paints a much more detailed account of the battle and the soldiers. Amazing albeit harrowing read.

[slayersboxer]

People always bring up saving private ryan as the best and most realistic war movie, but this movie does the same thing, only for modern warfare. This ending alone is why I will always hold this film slightly above any other, and that being said, this entire movie was amazing.

Ridley Scott was on a roll with making movies from 1999-2004
One of the best runs a director has had.

[melrosemiss]

Josh Hartnett delivered this perfectly.

[anthonylopez]

30 years ago today, the Battle of Mogadishu happened, and the sacrifices of the 19 American soldiers that died will never be forgotten

[TrevorBrass]

I will never not cry during this scene. I cry every time I watch this. Only the manliest of tears of course. Hans Zimmer's music does that. Black Hawk Down is Titanic for men.

[uispthg]

Not a dry eye in the room this was such a gut punch the firs time i saw it. Beautifully composed and great job Zimmer on capturing the moment with your music selection. Didn't understand a single word she sung but remember how it made me feel when i heard it as i read the KIA list. Thank you boys for what you sacrificed. Thank you for your service.

The narration of the end of a letter sums up the feelings of all who serve and have ever served away from home. We serve to protect those we love, to keep them safe. We pray and hope that they will remain strong, whether we live but even more if we are no longer able to be there physically by their side. As a father (but I am sure this would be equally as powerful for mothers), those last few words, asking the spouse to make sure the children know their daddy (or mummy) loves them, knowing they may never be able to do so in person as they sign off that

Lyrics :
Un deiz a vo 'teuio en-dro
Da analañ va c'halon c'hloaz't

Translation :
One day it will come back
And take back with my wounded heart

[officialchurchofgaben]

and people think the fault in our stars is the saddest movie ever made

[smv-tv]

Most realistic war movie ever. No movie will ever come close to how raw the footage is in this movie
