Metal Gear Solid HD Collection - MGS3 Ending

Metal Gear Solid inspired me to live in Japan, which inspired me to share other cultures through film.

[andres]

They gave him a medal for killing the person he loved the most, they gave him a title that would remind him of that moment, and everyone would know him for that title, a title that would remind him that he was used.

While, the true origin of the title would be forgotten by history, and by all, except for him.

[annomundi]

This ending is the textbook definition of "I've won, but at what cost?"

[TheLemming]

“You are ABOVE even the boss” probably sounds so god damn insulting, considering Snake’s perspective

[RG-inks]

Ocelot hanging about capitol hill in a Spetsnaz uniform.

[officialxverzusz]

Ah yes
The classic structure of the US military branch
- Cadette
- Lieutenant
- Commander
- General
- Captain
- *Big Boss*

[CutThroat]

There's one thing about this ending that bothers me, not so much in the ending itself, but in what it tells. I mean, it pains me to think that there could actually be people like Boss who were forced to die under the public disgrace of treason, but that were actually heroes.

[rodrigocolon]

Big Boss's look of disappointment and disapproval is enough to make a grown man veteran cry..

[AgentY]

1:14 "hey, HEY! SNAKE! LOOK AT THE WINDOW! Rember me? Yea just came to say that you are pretty good. Now bye"

[LieutenantAlaki]

1972
The "Les Enfants Terribles" project.
The sons of Big Boss are born.

[georgesears]

"The Sons of Big Boss are born". Even this line. Even this tiny fucking line. The chills.

[Barzini_CN]

The saddest part of this ending is everybody in that room won the war, except for the person who delivered them their victory.

[AsymmetricalCrimes]

If you really think about it, if Volgin never fired the nuke, the entire Metal Gear series would of never happened. The Boss wouldn't be killed by Snake, and Snake would never become Big Boss which means no Sons of Big Boss.

[sundowner]

“After the president awards you with the dumbest fucking name ever, you take a moment to reflect.”

[piromaniac]

I think what's worse is boss sacrificed herself for her country and is treated as a traitor who will be forgotten, thrown away.Its so sad and painful.

[grandadmiralzaarin]

You can feel the disgust and betrayal in Big Boss in this scene. Having to go through the charade...knowing all his team and the Government knew and willingly lied to him and sacrificed the Boss.
Having served myself I've seen the Government and many officers turn their back on their own soldiers time and again for petty politics and prestige.
I understand why Big Boss broke and became what he did.

[fkjetfox]

what the hell is snake doing!? leaving a gun with UNLIMITED AMMO UNGUARDED IN A CEMETERY!

[chrisbano]

I love the last line " The sons of big boss are born"

[irvancrocs]

You can sum it the entire Big Boss's experience here while against Cobra Unit:
He went out and held his "pain" after The Boss betrayed him.
Conquered his "fear" to move forward.
Determined his professionalism to reach the "end".
Endured his "fury" for what Volgin had done.
Overcame his "sorrow".
And killed his "joy" after all he went through.

[wukanimation]

I think the only one who understood Big Boss’ pain was Zero. Once he saw Big Boss’ face as he walked past him, he looks on and appears to close his eyes in grief as well. Good touch for how their future turned out.

[karami]

Snake, don't blame yourself...

WE pulled that trigger. WE killed The Boss.
 It was the only way to pass the game. Please forgive us T_T
