Live Poll: Scenes or Sequences Where Characters Accept Their Death
Intro:
In some movies characters agree to be killed or kill themselves because of his/her/* reasons, which force them to do so. No matter which kind of reason it is, the death is free chosen at the end. To make sequences like these authentically, it needs quiet good acting.
Which of these sequences was done best by all involved actors? (The descriptions are covered with spoiler bars for not spoiling you.)
Discuss here.
If you think of suicide, please find medical help. Live is too short to waste.
Suggestions:
Characters like in my examples that make clear it's ok to die here and now. Movies, no tv-series. Animated ok, no documentations. No real-life, just fictitious caracters. No plain self-murderers, they must be forced by circumstances like being hunt, or irreversible and painful deseases like cancer or war injuries. Something that puts them into a place they can't quit. Please give me an IMDb-Link to the movie, to the character and a description for the option. Better not below a rating of 6/10. In special cases I do amens to that.
List: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls088354198/
Poll: TBD

Changed the title to make it more versatile for suggestions.

I think it looks good, just needs some more options. I'm aiming for 25, but I think 20 would be good enough.

It seems there are no more suggestions. I would say this one is ready to go.
Still open about typos or grammar, formulation - thing like that.

FYC:
Man of Steel
Jonathan Kent
After a tornado forms in Smallville and injuring his ankle while saving the family dog, Jonathan is unable to take shelter, while his son Clark Kent (still not Superman) attempts to save him, this would mean revealing his powers, and Jonathan makes him a gesture indicating him he should not do this and accepting his death being swept away from the tornado.
Wonder Woman
Steve Trevor
Steve hijacks a bomber plane filled with gas bombs that will be dropped in London and realizing only he is able to stop a tragedy, he flies away, shoots the bombs in the air and sacrifices himself when the plane blows up.

FYC:
Aliens: Mortally injured Private Vasquez and Lieutenant Gorman sacrifice themselves while taking out a few xenomorphs and slowing down others rather than be captured by the Xenomorphs for impregnation.

Ok, 25 options reached. I keep it for 25 options, that's far enough facing the fact that this poll is much to read for the users. I only take suggestions, if they are definitely much better than other options on the list.
If there are no thing like typo's or edits for better formulation, I would say it's ready to go.

FYC: In Johnny Got his Gun, Joe Bonham is severely injured in WWI. He has lost his eyes, ears, nose, mouth, arms, and legs. Doctors think he is brain dead, but keep his body alive for scientific/medical purposes. Towards the end of the movie, he uses his head to bang out morse code on his pillow to say "Kill me" over and over.

Please tone down the references to suicide. You can make a poll about movie characters without referring to real people considering suicide.

Also:
the death is freely chosen
it needs quiet good acting (I think you mean "quite good", but it's really better without it)

Hi Breu,
May I suggest a few edits? (in bold below)
Title: Characters Who Accept Their Deaths or Even Beg To Be Killed
Intro: In some movies characters agree to be killed or kill themselves because of reasons which force them to do so. No matter what kind of reason it is, the death is freely chosen at the end. To make sequences like these authentically, it needs good acting.
Which of these sequences was done best by all involved actors? (The descriptions are covered with spoiler bars for not spoiling it for you.)
Good poll, btw! : )

I was reading the thread between Peter and Ravi and I think that both of their suggestions could be used and balanced. I think that the revised intro, according to Peter's suggestions, is better but I think Ravi made a really good suggestion about adding a line like ""If you are considering suicide, please seek medical help."
You could even add a link; perhaps something like this at the end of the intro would work:
"If you are considering suicide, please seek medical help or call a crisis hotline: click here for hotlines that can help."
