Suicide Solution

Not the easiest of scenes to watch, but it's that unease that makes them so effective, therefore, so memorable. Both moments are almost interchangeable with one another as they each share common traits (the incredible music, the solitude of the bathroom, the instrument used), specifically the lone character stirring quietly in their own dark thoughts. As they have both passed that point of contemplation, who knows exactly what it is that may be dancing through their heads, but there is clearly a sadness mixed with a false sense of bravery that is plaguing them during their weakest of moments. Two very powerful, poignant and intensely crafted scenes from two wonderful films.
