Cyrano

In the movie’s ending, Cyrano’s unspoken love for Roxanne finally comes to light only after he is fatally wounded in the war. As he lies dying, he asks Roxanne to read Christian’s final letter, and while doing so, he suddenly can’t hold back his feelings and reveals that he is the true author of the love letters all along. Roxanne, realizing that Cyrano was the real poet behind Christian’s words, confesses her love for him. She embraces him as he dies, and in his final moments, Cyrano proudly declares, “And I have always loved my pride,” acknowledging that his own sense of self-respect kept him from confessing his love sooner. His death symbolizes the tragic cost of pride and unspoken love.

Years later, Roxanne lives a quiet, devout life at a convent, visiting Cyrano’s grave. When she learns she is dying, she visits him once again and reads Christian’s last letter. In a poignant moment, Cyrano, realizing he is about to die, finally confesses his enduring love through words and song, and Roxanne admits that she has loved him all along. They share a final, tender kiss, sealing their love — but Cyrano’s pride and fear had kept them apart for all those years. His story is a poignant reminder of how pride can sometimes prevent us from claiming true love, and how the deepest feelings are often hidden behind the barriers of ego and insecurity. Ultimately, their love is fulfilled only in death, highlighting the tragic beauty of unspoken love.
