The Mandarin Posted December 14, 2004 Report Posted December 14, 2004 I was off sick today, so I decided to watch some flicks for the first time. The Ring- **1/2 out of ***** Punch * out of *****-- Original, I'll give it that. I HATED the actors and actresses, though. The first half of Apocalypse Now- ****3/4 out of *****.
ArkhamGlobe Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 The "Some of my favourite scenes" edition: 1. Singing and dancing in the woods in Pierrot le fou. I could probably make an entire list of just scenes from Godard movies, but I'll refrain from doing that at the moment. As for this scene, it encapsulates what I love about Pierrot le fou, the wild spontaneity and vibrant sense of life belying a sense of incredible anguish and sadness. The two characters, in their search of liberty and life manage to find it briefly in a simple song in the woods. The moment soars. 2. Odile's song in Band of Outsiders. Another Godard movie, but I'll pick something else next time. This scene is pretty similiar to the scene from Pierrot le fou, except this instead of expressing a sense of liberty found for a moment, expresses a deep yearning for it. The Liberté sign appearing always gives me chills. 3. Annabelle Lee rejecting Johnnie Gray in The General. I can't really explain why I like this scene so much, except that it manages to be both very funny and surprisingly moving at the same time, particularly the moment when Johnnie doesn't notice that the train is carrying him away. 4. Bruno Ganz becoming human in Wings of Desire. I've always felt this was nicely understated and so Ganz' sense of wonder becomes incredibly moving. Also the following tracking shot as Ganz walks through the city somehow managed to infuse me with a similiar sense of wonder. 5. The ending to Mississippi Mermaid. I don't want to spoil this, so I can't speak that much of it, but I'll say that Belmondo is amazing here and the scene reaches a kind of understated poignancy I can't really recall seeing anywhere else. And the closing shot is pretty tremendous too.
