Wesley in Not Fade Away

I was spoiled for Wesley's death so it wasn't a shock. But I rewatched NFA last night and his death is still heartbreaking. I can't control my tears when he says "I missed you". It's so unbelievably sad.

One of the saddest scenes I've ever seen. The only good thing about it was the SENSATIONAL acting by Alexis.
 
I finished up my 3rd rewatch last night, and it doesn't matter how many times I've seen it, I bawled like a baby. It's not just Alexis, but Amy's acting as well that does the trick. Does anybody know if Amy was really crying, not just acting crying? Because I can imagine how emotional it would have been to do that scene, after being in this show together for a few years, and knowing this was the last scene to do together.

But, however saddened we might have been by Wes' death, it did set up a great scene:

"Take your best shot, little girl..."

You might say, one exploding skull is worth a thousand words.

The part where Illyria's fist is going back and she's turning back into herself is amazing... That's one of those moments where you sit there on the couch, grinning like an idiot 'cause you're like "AWESOME!"

Well, yeah. LOL But you know... Gotta keep it family friendly in my house. I wouldn't want my kids repeating my explitaves. 😉
 
He became one of my favourite characters (I became so pissed off with anybody that treated him like crap, whether justified or not, and just heartbroken that he didn't get enough time with the women he loved) and I knew he was going to die before I watched it, but I didn't realise how depressing it was actually going to be--I did tear up. Also the fact that Illyria held him, as Fred, as he died was even more sad.
