[[BeingGoodSucks His speech to Ranse, especially that one line, emphasizes how much he gave up to give Ranse his shot at doing something good, and how much it tore him inside to be the unsung hero of Ranse's story.]]]]

** The fact that Tom often treated Hallie as if he [[EntitledToHaveYou owned]] her, giving her orders and simply excepting her to obey certainly didn't help his cause. Though it's still a bit sad to watch when he realizes [[spoiler: he's lost his chance to win her over.]]

* Re-watching the movie makes the beginning this, since we know all Tom gave up. Piecing together what had happened to him in the years since can be heartbreaking. Especially the TranquilFury of Ranse's reaction to discovering that the late Tom isn't wearing his boots, spurs, or gun belt in the coffin.
* The ending of the movie, starting from when Tom tells Ransom the truth. Watching the movie a second time after knowing the twist can turn the entire movie into this.
