That first sound he makes when she forgives him, that sound like she's actually wounded him, it struck me so hard. When we can't forgive ourselves, being forgiven can feel like burning coals. We know we're unworthy of it, and yet we so desperately want it. This is truly a remarkable scene.

And best part? He knew it was coming, and still it hit him like a truck... Hate for doing something evil is logical, it is something we can expect, it i something we deserve, and something we eagerly turn on ourselves... We create armor out of that hate, our personal Hell And now he has nothing- it all just blew away, like it was made out of paper. Hard not to make a sound, when your world just crumbles to dust, and constant pain, that one learned to ignore, is replaced wtih warm feeling of relief One time- and i am sorry in advance, if you are not drugs person- i had this moment on LSD when there was only me and my unfiltered mind turning on me. Demons of mine, if you will. Sadness and Anger. and my own mind turned them against itself- there is no feeling, like one, when you cannot escape your own head. I will not bore anybody with details. But i just let it happen, instead of fighting it. I never knew, that crying for lost loved ones can reach such warm and soft place, that after literal hour of crying, i felt born anew- i liken it to digging into the wound to reach logged object, or squeezing pus out of the wound, only to reach that place of relief after it is done, but on emotional level- i can only somewhat imagine, what he had to go through at that moment, but it does resonate with me- despite i knew, what would happen the moment, she went through that door

He's 100% at fault, there's never even an implication that she was in anyway at fault for being shot. The show just keeps it vague on how intentional it was. My interpretation was he was blacked out drunk and didn't even know what he was doing

Joe Collie, in a way, was instrumental in Leeza getting out safely at the end. If he hadn't been strong enough to resist the urge to drink and instead go see, and get killed by Monsignor Pruitt, Riley never would've gotten suspicious after hearing the lie that he'd gone to see his deceased sister. This would've had a huge butterfly effect where Monsignor Pruitt doesn't turn Riley after he gets attacked by the demon, Riley doesn't warn Erin by burning himself, Erin doesn't take Sarah and Mildred to church Easter Night, and therefore wouldn't be there to help Leeza, Sheriff Hassan, and Annie and her son escape the massacre and eventually make it to the canoes. By not giving in to temptation and overcoming his demons, Joe inadvertently saved the one person his drinking had harmed the most.

This monologue and the priest's monologues were the only ones that felt natural. This monologue because it feels like this is a moment the character has been thinking about for a long time, so the words are all ready to just come out. And then the priests monologues, obviously, because preaching is what he does. All of the others were like these massive speedbumps that just ground the show to a halt for me. Doesn't matter how well-written it is if it takes me out of the show. Or the timing is just awkward. Like the sheriff's infodump about his past as the show is gearing up for its climax or the big monologue on death when all I can think about is how she's going to wake up five minutes later as a vampire. So, like, big epiphany for the character and then she wakes up and just awkwardly waits around for the sunrise offscreen?

not many people in their life will ever understand what it's like to live with a disability. to know what you want, what you COULD be capable of, if only you weren't disabled. to see what you want to grab hold of, and not being able to reach out for it. that helplessness feeling is so indescribably frustrating. the amount of anger i've felt from my chronic pain over the last ten years has always made me feel like i was being too emotional, too selfish, too whiny. even when i kept it mostly to myself. this whole scene, whether or not someone's disability is caused by another person, speaks to and for everyone with disability. "you reached through time and you stole from me." that feeling of being robbed of your future is unlike anything that any able-bodied person could experience. this show is a masterpiece of beautiful and emotional writing.

Leeza and Riley’s mom are the ideal characters of what true Christians are SUPPOSED to be. Understanding that they are not free of sin, and therefore not above others. Their religion heightens them and inspires them to love, forgive, and do better. It gives them wisdom and strength. I’m glad that Mike Flanagan peppered in these good characters with the evil characters who twist the faith and use it for personal gain. Such good writing.

Rileys mom gives a great speech that sums up the wrong kind of religious person. After Bev basically says Riley was a waste of space person, she says "Why does that anger you? That God loves my son as much as he loves you. That he loves everyone as much as he loves you." The religious thinking God carries more affinity for them than others has led to so much death and destruction throuhout history. It's actually that exact thinking that causes Bev to kill the entire island with her self-righteousness

As a christian, this series was a marvel, and seeing scenes like this gives so much hope! One because although the series warns about fanatism and overzealous christians, there are scenes in the series that portray christianity in a very human way. Not with charicature or oversimplification of the faith, but with true moments where the christian is shown to be someone who can be angry, and vulnerable... human. I love this scene because it's not cheesy christianity, it isn't cheese forgiveness.

The life of a person trying to live as a Christian/right with the Lord will not be perfect; only God is perfect. The portrayals of what a faithful believer has to deal with in their everyday life are so realistic in this series; they confront challenges, fail, and show they are just trying to do their best. This series’s actors truly receive their due.

This crazy miniseries about vampires had no reason to be this good. And yet it was. These are truly award winning performances and writing.

This scene spoke to me a lot. My doctor as a kid diagnosed be 4 years before I nearly died with a preventable illness, yet failed to notify me or my parents. For FOUR years I continued to take medicine that could have killed me at any moment, that nearly killed me and put me through 6 months of absolute hell. I went 4 months without solid food. I went from 135 lbs to less than 70 lbs. I was emaciated and unable to stand due to muscle degradation. I had multiple organs begin to fail, and I only survived because I woke up on Thanksgiving day and could eat for the first time in months. To this day I still hate the man who condemned me to that, who could have said something and spared a 12 year old boy that horror, but chose to keep it to himself. I hate him, and I've dreamt of the worst things happening to him, but I try every day to forgive him. It's been over 14 years since I was sick, and over 8 years since I found out what he did to me, yet I still think about it daily. This scene really hits home for me.

I just KNEW someone would upload this scene! Flanagan has a talent for getting excellent performances from his actors.

her visceral animosity but ensuing forgiveness renders a heartfelt atonement...

Feels weird to comment on a video that was uploaded so long ago that it feels a little unnecessary, but I always come back to watch this specific scene because it’s beautiful with or without context. You can watch this scene without even watching Midnight Mass, but the characters, their expressions and their words are all you need to understand the intensity of their emotions and it’s glorious. And I keep coming back because there is so much to digest, not just from the acting, but the camera work and directing. Leeza is always shot from the waist up. We see multiple body shots of Joe in this scene, and when we do it’s to showcase how small and uncomfortable he feels. The way he stands and fidgets with his clothes, he is paralyzed with shame and self-loathing. Like a child sitting through a lecture with the full knowledge of what he did wrong. But every shot of Leeza is from the waist up. We know from context clues that she used to be paralyzed, confined only to a chair to do something as basic as moving around. A right taken from her against her will. And here she is very clearly standing with her own legs, legs that by all accounts should not be working because of what Joe did to her. And you would think that would absolve him of his guilt. That it would release him from his shame because the damage that should have been permanent had been undone. But it doesn’t. Because he still sees Leeza in that chair, the one he put her in because of his mistake. A mistake that cost her damn near everything. And that’s something nobody could damn well forget, let alone forgive. This image of her still in that wheelchair, it’s not a perception made from pity, but of accountability. No miracle could erase what he did, could redeem himself in his eyes, and it’s why he sees her now as so powerful and terrifying, but still in that chair, because her wrath is justified. Which is what makes her declaration of forgiveness so painful. He feels he has done nothing to deserve it. And he’s right, and Leeza knows it too. He may have apologized, but that doesn’t guarantee redemption, change does. And he had done nothing to change, because he feels he deserves to suffer. His drinking only got worse because it was the only coping mechanism he knew. The only thing that did change was he stopped using his guns, for obvious reasons. His alcoholism could only hurt him now. But now, Leeza is actively challenging him to be better. The forgiveness isn’t an out for Joe, it’s a slap to wake him up. He now has to put in the work to make that forgiveness feel earned, or stay miserable knowing full well that it isn’t. Leeza had every right to never forgive Joe for what he did, miracle or not. But she chose to because she has experienced first had what it felt like to be crippled, and sees now how it can manifest in different ways. What Joe did to her, it wasn’t done out of malice. It wasn’t a targeted attack. It was an accident, but one that cost her so much, and the hate that she feels is a valid one, because Joe chose to go shooting while drunk. But here she stands in front of him, telling him he has no excuse to not try to be better. If he truly regrets his actions, he would do it for both of their sakes. “A second chance, now that’s a miracle”

This scene. Just beautiful acting from both of them.

Saw my dad cry during this scene. We've watched a lot of TV together over the years and never once have I ever seen him cry before.

Annarah Cymone and Robert Longstreet knocked this scene out of the park. This is the only scene where I remotely cared about any of the teenage characters, though. Otherwise, they were kind of just there the whole season.

I wish everybody who's been a victim of any kind of injustice had a moment like this to wash anger, repentance, and whatever emotion has been stuck in the river of despair.

God!! The moment she said " I Forgive You" My tears 😢 started to flow. The torture two both of them went through or are going through must be unbearable.

Holy damn dude's soul was on the line in this one conversation and he knew it.

This scene is beautifully written Leeza's words are so powerful, and she speaks with such eloquence. Each time I watch this scene it hurts. The way joe reacts is so fitting for someone who has hated himself for years and him finally getting the punishment and confrontation from her allowed him to finally feel like he's getting what he feels he deserved. Her words hit so hard and pierce through the fourth wall for me and it feels like this isn't just a show but real life. Everyone who has worked on the show has really made it incredible.

"I can't feel my legs."

this scene absolutely floored me

I didn’t really notice all the monologues in this show until I watched some of the reviews after binging it. Gosh, it is amazing what effects can be brought about by a combination of good writing and good acting. (Not to downplay the myriad of other factors and efforts that go into film- which are also fantastic here, btw -but for a monologue I think writing and acting are the two key pillars to its success)

This scene is incredible

Robert Longstreet is one of Americas finest actors. This scene and the one in the haunting of Hill House where he talks about his daughter are simply brilliant. I hope I get to see him in more roles and I hope he gets an Emmy for this performance.

As a survivor of childhood trauma & abuse, this scene shattered me. I felt every last word Leeza spoke. It really does feel as if your abuser/assailant/whomever caused you trauma had reached through time and stole everything from you. That’s how my experience was, anyways. I could’ve had such a wonderful and happy childhood, but they stole that from me. They stole my future, too, in many ways. I hope I can one day forgive all of my abusers the same way Leeza did, because right now, I’m just very, very angry (amongst other things). Kudos to the actress who plays Leeza, and to the writing team/Mike Flanagan for creating such a moving and powerful monologue. 💓

my favourite scene in the entire show, both of them are such good actors my god

On a side note - this scene is the perfect representation of why Flanagan's work are of such high quality. He always allows his actors to shine, no matter if you're in the main or supporting cast. The exchange between Leeza & Joe is just a side story in a larger looming web of plotstrings, but it still gets the attention it deserves and the actors get the opportunity to go all out with their marvelous performances. So many shows I can think of where this scene would've been reduced to one minute, afraid the viewer might distract himself, but not this one. Just brilliant awareness of how genuine stories, performances, themes & substantial monologues in this medium can engage you in ways few other things can.

This show was a breath of fresh air and this scene was so cathartic. This was the moment i realized this show wouldn't be about condemnation, but about redemption. This is one of the most Christian shows I've ever seen, but the fact it manages to be a damning indictment of the modern church in America WHILE showing the redemptive Power of God makes it nothing short of a masterpiece.

Forgiveness is one of the hardest things to do. It's harder than taking revenge.

This was one of the best depictions of forgiveness ( a main theme of the whole show) I have seen on screen. The acting was superb, the writing was beautiful. "The only thing standing in my way was hate, the only thing standing in your way is you" "you reached through time, Joe Collie" Wow! The power of forgiveness is immense and the lack of it contributes mightily to hatred throughout the history of the human race. What a great scene.

Thanks for uploading this. I was looking for this forever

This show dude... Hits me RIGHT IN THE FEELS man!

The sound he makes when she forgives him is an absolutely wonderful character choice because it sounds painful and damn it if that isn’t the perfect way to depict forgiveness. It’s like lancing an untreated boil. All that rotten and festering self hatred and self loathing and sorrow being released like that. I’m sure it’s agony initially to be in the dark for so long and suddenly to be put in the light of forgiveness.

Now imagine this scene without Covid restrictions on set.

I don't think that's how forgiving works. Leesa had every right to have borne all that anger and hatred towards Joe after what happened to her even though it was an accident. Forgiving someone needs a lot of empathy and compassion even when you think that someone really didn't have any reason for that. It'd have made more sense if she would've gone to him before the miracle and told him that she forgave him. This only makes me wonder if she would've even forgiven him if the miracle hadn't happened.

I think, in her case, her forgiveness is born of the miraculous nature of her newfound agency. She can walk: she can do things that he robbed her of in his thoughtlessness. She has power. And in her restored sense of equilibrium, carried by religious ecstasy (in the biblical sense - but in actuality vampire blood), she is no longer enslaved to regret and anger, but seizing the opportunity now before her, to make up for lost time, to know life, joy, and the true privilege to perambulate, which we take for granted. And, in so doing this, she releases the man who robbed her of that time, of that agency, from the torture that his action upon her has inflicted on himself too. It is very powerful and moving, on both the rational and emotional levels.

HOW DOES IT MAKE YA FEEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
