The dramatic moments in cinema.
on: May 13, 2003, 12:32:26 pm
Here's another 'what's your opinion' thread. This time it's dramatic moments in TV and cinema. What were the scenes that really made you go 'damn...' or 'holy cow' or ':eek2: ' etc. I'm not talking about spectacular action sequences (although they may have dramatic effect as well), but those that really made the characters on screen come alive.

I can think of the following off the top of my head:

The funeral of Mozart in Forman's 'Amadeus'.

The Aragorn/Haleth dialogue to Theoden's monologue before the battle of Helm's deep in The Two Towers.

the 'I wish the ring had never come to me....' scene by the river of Anduin in the end of FOTR.

but IMO, the one that tops them all is from a TV series: the bombing of Narn Homeworld in the B5 episode "The long Twilight Struggle". It's amazing how much emotion can one actor put into a 50-second scene. Simply amazing.

HAL's death scene from 2001.  That was amazing.

The escape sequence from Aliens. That just rocked because of the music. :D

From the same movie, Drake's death and the sequence following. Man, Vasquez was pissed.

Gandalf's death was pretty good in LOTR. Pardon me, but is that Obi-Wan there?

The battle sequence from Aliens was pretty good too. Not only did nearly half a dozen people die during the first few minutes, but just the dialogue was good too ("LET'S ROCK!")

Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

The video-chat goodbye scene between father and daughter in Armageddon.

The first look at the new lightsaber fight choreography in TPM.

The termination of the good terminator in T2 (being lowered into the molten iron).

The death scene of that french guy and of John Coffee in the Green Mile.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

The Balrog sequences in the Fellowship and the Two Towers. Now that's what an evil demon should look like!
