rose_of_painDay 5 – Favorite Scene from Elisabeth
Mayerling Waltz.
Video is from Yuki 2007 just 'cause its the only video I could find of the scene. XD But not necessarily my favorite version of this scene. Though I've enjoyed all of them for this part. But anyways, I fell in love with this scene even before I saw Elisabeth. I remember seeing a group of cosplayers reenact this scene in photos...and I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
It is a bit awkward to be so in love with a suicide scene though. ^^;; But its just the way they do it that I really love. Especially the fact that Death hands him the gun and all. ...which just happens to be the same gun Elmer (I think it was Elmer?) tried to kill himself with earlier in the show until Der Tod took the gun from him. I just love little connecting details like that in shows in general. That and the whole dance here really shows Rudolf's complete anguish so well. Its a beautiful way of showing a real tragic scene.
And that kiss. Just saying. >>
