- The entire movie, but especially:
- The village scene.
- Elias' death. Doubles as a Dying Moment of Awesome.
- The ending narration
. Full stop.- Taylor: I think now, looking back, we did not fight the enemy, we fought ourselves, and the enemy was in us. The war is over for me now, but it will always be there, the rest of my days. As I'm sure Elias will be, fighting with Barnes for what Rhah called "possession of my soul." There are times since, I've felt like a child, born of those two fathers. But be that as it may, those of us, who did make it have an obligation to build again. To teach to others what we know, and to try with what's left of our lives to find a goodness and a meaning to this life.
- And of course, Adagio for Strings, also counts as Awesome Music.
