History TearJerker / TheMatrix

!!First movie:

* The deaths of [[spoiler:Switch, Apoc and Dozer]], especially given how senseless the former two feel.

* The deaths of [[spoiler:Switch, Apoc and Dozer]] in [[Film/TheMatrix the first movie]], especially given how senseless the former two feel.

* ''World Record'', one of the ''[[WesternAnimation/TheAnimatrix Animatrix]]'' shorts, doubles as both a TearJerker and CrowningMomentOfAwesome. At the end, Dan Davis is left crippled having broken his own 100m record and temporarily escaped the matrix through sheer willpower. As he's being pushed in a wheelchair by a nurse he starts mumbling "free" and stands up, snapping his metal leg-braces in the process, again all through sheer willpower. As an observing agent starts to tell him to sit down he begins to levitate before finally dropping to the floor, all to a soaring, heartrending score.

* [[spoiler: The Keymaker's]] "self-deletion" in ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded''.
* The overall second half of ''Film/TheMatrixRevolutions'' with many beloved zionites KilledOffForReal while fighting off the endless onslaught of sentinels, Neo and Smith's epic FinalBattle [[BattleInTheRain In The Rain]] inside the Matrix, the beautiful BittersweetEnding; it's all just one intense, emotional roller coaster.
** Neo and Trinity being the first humans in centuries to have a brief glimpse of the Sun.
** [[spoiler: Trinity's]] death. Never has AnyoneCanDie been so painful.
** [[spoiler:Neo's HeroicSacrifice]] in order to stop [[OmnicidalManiac Smith]]'s madness from destroying both the Matrix and the real world, and to finally bring peace between the humans and the machines. The last shot we see of him is his dead body being carried away by the machines in a respectful manner, while sad music is being played in the background.
*** The aforementioned sad music that plays while this all goes down can make you cry by itself without the slightest bit of context.
