The Scene that makes the Movie

Not sure if I'm doing this right. I don't know if it makes the movie exactly, but it definitely makes the character of Quint. In the book, he just killed sharks for money and the hell of it. Bor-ring! The movie gave him a solid motivation for, not only his hatred of sharks, but for his insanity. He was no longer an Ahab clone, but, rather, became Ahablike in which the quest to kill the monster was really the metaphoric catharsis of exorcising one's personal demons.

 

All I kept thinking when I watching Avatar about was how close the connection was between the 'modernisation of America - at the expense of the Native population.

 

Strong and sobering statement = Horror without the picturesque vision

This showdown is foreshadowed throughout the movie...

 

Taxi Driver, 'You talking to me?'

 

The whole flick is leading up to this scene, when Kevin Lomax finally catches on to WHAT THE FUCK has been going on. Now for Al to break it all down and fill in the gaps.

This is his brilliance on full display.

Plus Keanu. He's awesome. Because he's Keanu.
