I cry every single time I hear this incredibly poignant moment in this film. Mostly because my own daughter married a black man. They have now been married almost 20 years and have 3 beautiful children. I couldn't be more proud of them and how they have grown together as a couple and how they are teaching their children. It has been one of the most incredible joys of my life. They inspire me every single day.

To say this scene is beautiful is an understatement. This is a classic scene from an even classier film. What makes this scene for me, besides the beauty of the dialogue on face value and the delivery is knowing that Tracy was speaking DIRECTLY to Hepburn when he delivers the speech. He was, knowing he was dying, telling her how much he loved her, how much he felt for her, and a goodbye of sorts. This shatters me, every time I watch it.

Eight minutes of the greatest acting you will ever see,
-
This scene is my favorite scene in movie history...I'm a grown man and I cry at this. If only the world were this perfect
-
A beautiful moment in American cinema and a perfect final bow by a great actor.
-
One of the greatest actors of all time giving one of the greatest monologues of all time in one of the greatest movies of all time.

Katherine Hepburns tears are real in this classic scene. She knew the end was near for Spencer Tracy. He died shortly after filming wrapped. Hepburn never saw the finished article stating that the pain of Tracy's death was too much for her to see the film. Tracy is just pure class as always.

RIP Spencer Tracy (April 5, 1900 – June 10, 1967), aged 67 RIP Katherine Hepburn (May 27, 1907 – June 29, 2003), aged 96 RIP Sidney Poitier (February 20, 1927 – January 6, 2022), aged 94 You will always be remembered as legends.

The love between Spencer & Hepburn was so beautifully told to the world in his final movie. Still brings me to tears seeing this movie.
-
It isn't just Katharine Hepburn, all three women have tears in their eyes.
-
That's the greatest last speech anyone could ever have. Here's to you Spencer Tracy, you who have lived far beyond your own mortality and will live beyond our own.
-
You can see Katherine Hepburn crying throughout this scene. This was not in the script. She said later that she couldn't hold the tears back as she knew that Spencer Tracy is very close to death.
-
the best final scene of any one actor's career
-
This is one of the most emotional movie scenes ever made. The part where Tracy crosses the room and you see Hepburn in tears gets me every time... And it seems that the more I see it, the earlier I'm in tears myself. Of course, the story behind the scene gets me as much as the scene itself, so the combination of those two elements is very overwhelming.
-
The pause as he allows his words to sink in and for everyone to realize his daughter and her fiance manifestly deserve to marry each other is the most powerful part.
-
WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY PERFECT MOMENT IN HUMANITY 😢😅💔💗
-
As a mixed race person, This remains the only time a film has made me truly cry. This is beautiful
-
What's heartbreaking to me about this scene is that, 54 years later, so much of it is still relevant. We've progressed considerably since then, but not nearly enough.
-
I am sad that we’ve lost such an American treasure today, RIP Dear Sidney Poitier. I’ve always admired your incredible talent, elegance, kindness, and strength. Thank you for your beautiful, important, and ground breaking work. You are legendary and absolutely unforgettable!

This is the first time I've seen this. I search for it because I read that the part where Spencer Tracy said "if it's even half of what I feel for her mother" was HIS sentence, and not at all written originally. He changed the end of the movie because he wanted to declare his love ofr Katharine. And now my eyes are full of tears... What a great love, what a great scene, and what great actors they are...
