If you couldn't tell by the title, there are about to be 10 spoilers listed below. Consider yourself warned!
Ask anyone who religiously watches movies, T.V. shows, or reads books, their favorite part.... is the characters.Those characters become a part of us, like family and friends. There are characters that we identify and can relate to, the characters we love to hate, and the characters that simply make the story line even better. The worst part about falling in love with a character... is the chance that they might die. In honor of Halloween this month here are some of the top upsetting, emotional, and unjustified movie deaths:
1. Mufasa - The Lion King
We had to learn at a very young age what the loss of a beloved character feels like. Almost 20 years later and I will still cry like a little girl at Simba grieving the loss of his father.
2. G-Baby - Hardball
This heart of gold little boy's death will NEVER be justified. I had almost forgot about this unmentionable death because I was so traumatized.
3. Jack - Titanic
Now I think we can all agree there was PLENTY of room on that door with Rose. One of our first doses of the amazingly gorgeous DiCaprio, and we are still shocked he did not win his Oscar for this role. Died for nothing.
4. John Coffey - The Green Mile
This magical gentle giant will always have our hearts. Did we really have to execute a man who cares for a mouse as a friend and is afraid of the dark?
5. Marley - Marley & Me
Seriously? I will eventually come to terms when a human character dies... but a dog?? No way. This pup entered our hearts and will never truly leave. True Statement: I cried for almost 2 hours after this one.
6. Dumbledore, Snape, Dobby, Fred, Sirius - Harry Potter
So, yes, I named almost half of the Harry Potter crew but the list is endless. Each one of these characters deserves their own honorable mention, but I just don't think I could get through it without spiraling into tears all over again. After all this time? ALWAYS.
7. Rufio - Hook
One of our first beloved bad boys. The toughest and most fearless Lost Boy I know. This ultimate bad ass warmed our souls by making the sacrifice and saving Pan's life. RUFIO! RUFIO! RUFIO!
8. Wilson - Castaway
Our cherished Wilson. This volleyball was once a friend, trusted confidant, and a great sense of comfort to our stranded island friend. We would all be lucky to a have a ball like Wilson in our lives. If you have a friend like this, I suggest avoiding any open waters.
9. Bubba Blue - Forest Gump
This man knows his shrimp. Not only does he know about seafood, he knows how to be a good friend. Forest stayed loyal to the very end, but sometimes it just isn't enough. Thanks to Bubba Blue we can all successfully name all of the dishes that involve Shrimp.
10. Jamie Sullivan - A Walk to Remember
This beautiful soul was a bad boy's only hope at a better life. From a rebellious teen to a telescope-making, head-over-heels in love boy, Jaime turned Landon's world upside down. As we know, Cancer does not discriminate from a gentle, loving soul, to an avid astronomer.
If you are not crying by the end of this post then you are a trooper. Stay tuned for the most upsetting character deaths of T.V. shows and books!
