Twitter Users Dug Into Movie History And Shared Their Favorite “I’m Dead And I Know It” Moments
That facial expression never gets old.
Just like in real life, movie characters die all the time; it is almost impossible to watch a movie without at least a few characters meeting their end. It doesn't always have to be violent; sometimes it's beautiful and peaceful, but it's still death, nevertheless.
Some characters like to go out with a bang; something about their death ends up being memorable, and people give it a little more attention than the rest of the movie because the little moments matter as much as the big ones. The very last moments matter the most because that's when the character usually knows with certainty that they're about to die, so the way they react to it has to be just perfect. It's their last chance to shine, making it an opportunity to leave a lasting impact on the audience despite dying sooner than expected.
Not only that, there's always the option of a heroic send-off or a last-minute action with a huge impact. Twitter users started a thread where people were asked to share their favorite “I am dead and I know it” moments in cinematic history, and some of the replies were simply golden.

The actors who played the roles above ensured they performed brilliantly until the very end. It must be tough to have your character die in a movie, but at least you can make your last moments something memorable that leaves a lasting impact on the audience.
The replies people gave were fantastic; it was a nice reminder of many movies I had almost forgotten existed, especially the exact moments the users mentioned in their Twitter replies.
Old but very much gold.
