The Magnificent Seven/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Film

  • In a real Tear Jerker moment the village boys keep their promise. The last time we see them they are in fact putting fresh flowers on O'Reilly's grave.
  • Chris's comforting lies to Harry Luck as he dies, assuring him that they were actually fighting for a fortune in gold.

Harry: "Well, I'll be damned." *Breathes his last*
Chris: "Maybe you won't be."

    • And we'll never know if he believed it, or just appreciated the lie in his last moments.
  • Bernardo O'Reilly reprimanding the boys for considering their fathers cowardly. And shortly before dying, he tells the boys to look at how their fathers are fighting the bandits.

Don't you ever say that again about your fathers, because they are not cowards. You think I am brave because I carry a gun; well, your fathers are much braver because they carry responsibility — for you, your brothers, your sisters, and your mothers. And this responsibility is like a big rock that weighs a ton. It bends and it twists them until finally it buries them under the ground. And there's nobody says they have to do this. They do it because they love you, and because they want to. I have never had this kind of courage. Running a farm, working like a mule every day with no guarantee anything will ever come of it. This is bravery.
