Tear Jerker / Me Before You

Go To

  • Will announcing that he hasn't changed his mind and that he will commit suicide as soon as he gets home. Lou genuinely thought he would stay alive for her, but she's completely devastated.
    • The incredible anguish/passion/longing in his voice when he tells Louisa "If you had any idea what I want to do to you right now. . ." It absolutely kills him that he's lost the ability to make love to a woman.
  • To say nothing of his actual death. When he tells Lou to ask his parents to come in, you know he's not got long left.
  • Will telling Louisa to stay in the car with him for a little while more, so he can just be a guy who went to a concert with a girl in a red dress.
  • The contrast between the happy couple Will and his girlfriend are at the beginning of the movie and the bitter exes they are in the present day. Especially considering that it's he who rejected her (this actually foreshadows what's eventually going to happen between him and Lou). The sadness in her voice when she tells Lou "I tried for months" indicates that despite her engagement, she still loves him.
