The Lady K Academy Film Awards Day 6 - Most Heartbreaking End To A Film EVER

And now to our final award of the night, this is a Lady K Academy exclusive. I guarantee you won't find this award at any other red carpet event (that I know of).

I have no doubt that the uniqueness of this award is being met with intense excitement across the globe, so to put you all out of your anguish I shall announce the winner of this prestigious award is...

Captain America: The First Avenger

Those who haven't seen the comic book story of scrawny Steve Rogers and how he becomes Captain America might think this an odd film to give this kind of seriously heartbreaking award to, so allow me to elaborate. Note spoilers are abound!

All scrawny Steve wants out of life is to join the army and be a hero. But his size, stature and various health problems mean he is turned down at every enlistment he goes to. Eventually Dr Erskine takes pity on Steve and allows him to take part in an experiment he is conducting with a serum he has created. The serum will make Steve taller, stronger, faster, fitter and in almost every way a better human being. The one thing he can't improve on though is just how good Steve is, right to his core. This is one of my favourite lines in the movie when Erskine tells Steve why the serum didn't work on the Nazi's when they took it to improve themselves - "The serum amplifies everything that is inside. So, good becomes great. Bad becomes worse. This is why you were chosen. Because a strong man, who has known power all his life, will lose respect for that power. But a weak man knows the value of strength. And knows compassion."

Eventually the new and physically improved Steve gets to kiss the girl and even plans a date with her before the ship he's piloting crash lands on the ice and he is frozen for 70 years. He wakes up in the present day and the first thing on his mind is that he's missed his date. Saddest. Moment. EVER.

I couldn't find the clip in question without the end credits attached because it's literally the last line in the film, but here it is for you to see, with the fan adjusted credits and all:

Runners Up: *contains spoilers*

Thor - similarly sad, can't ever get back to the girl type ending but with a glimmer of hope

Drive - girl is gone, money is left behind (WTF?) and he's probably going to bleed out and crash his car into a ditch, it's not exactly happy!

Was there a sadder end to a film last year? I don't think so but feel free to leave your thoughts below as ever...
