The Scene that makes the Movie

TAKEN: (1)
The scene that encapsulates the mood, the tone and tempo of film. ”I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you”

 

DEEP BLUE SEA:
The scene that shows as powerful as Samuel L. Jackson is, in his Oration, Command and in Leadership, over confidence can be a downfall that befalls all.

 

Shawshank Redemption
Hope

 

CROCODILE DUNDEE:
Two scenes from the Maverick Aussie.
When Skippy shoots back

and “That’s not a knife”

= Just desserts methinks

 

SLAPSHOT:
The Charlestown Chiefs are down and almost out, it’s the last season, it’s the last throw of the dice, it is (- at last!) the debut of …..The Hanson brothers!

 

MISERY:
I don’t remember the Beatles writing a verse about the down side to being a Paperback Writer
I guess you really do have to be mindful of your target audience / fans – or else – Ouch!

 

PLATOON:
The death run of Sgt Elias. Left for dead by the aggressive and slightly psychotic Staff Sgt Barnes, its only desperation that drives him on in the hope that he’d be picked up and rescued– alas, it was a hope forlorn

 

HANCOCK:
The scene that shows unless you are an extreme thrill-seeker, you’d best not chance calling Hancock an Ass-hole - (even if you are a minor) - lest you are reap a response that only he can deliver

 

GONE WITH THE WIND:
Despite the often common misconception that “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn” are the final words of the ‘Epic’, the actual last line from 'Scarlett' is a clarion call for all those who feel they have reached their lowest point “Tomorrow, is another day”

 

TAXI DRIVER:
The insomniac, obsessive and slightly unhinged New York Cabbie flexing and practising his tough guy routine, which was to inspire an assassination attempt in real life

 

STAGECOACH:
When the Native American warriors are on the warpath and there’ a debt to be repaid, it needs more than the entrance of the ‘Ringo kid’ – and so it is- we see, the debut of ‘the Duke’ to the Big screen

 

THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL:
An example of the “Shoot first – Ask question afterwards” philosophy of certain ‘States’
– Klaatu only wants to talk – but when the U.S. of A. response with aggression, Gort reacts with Clinical, decisive and potential deadly consequence

 

Gosh - In all the years since I saw it as a child, and onward, I didn't realise that (still - one is never too old to learn something new) -
Thanks for that MeAgain
