Great Film Scenes
- Thread starter Insidious Von
- Start date
The scene was born from a real-life experience Pesci had years earlier while working as a waiter. He had complimented a mobster by calling him "funny," and the man reacted with the same menacing, "What do you mean I'm funny?" response. Pesci later told this story to director Martin Scorsese and Scorsese told him to use it and not tell anyone. It was ad lib.
A fine acting scene where Viola Davis outacts Meryl Streep IMHO but in Streep's defense
she worked totally on that one scene but Streep had the whole movie to worry about
She was so into the character she lets snot run out of her nose because she did not know it was happening
Great social comment about a priest who has sex with a willing gay under his care while supporting him when no one else will.
Streep is the nun who cannot see past her religious teachings

The scene is famous not just for its content, but for how it was made. Eastwood, directing, was faced with a sudden turn in the weather—15 inches of snow were forecast, which would ruin continuity. With no other option, he decided to shoot the entire two-day sequence in one single night. They started in the afternoon and wrapped at 5 a.m., with the rain freezing as it fell GIVING THE PERFECT backdrop.
This is a scene that critics and actors point to as one of the finest examples of acting on film in the last few decades. It's a single-take, five-minute sequence of two men sitting at a table, locking eyes, and speaking.
It's no wonder with two amazing actors like that.
Joaquin Phoenix is one of my all time favourites

Menace II Society is my favorite hood flick. Larenz Tate was amazing as O-Dog. But my favorite scene from that one is this. So powerful.
The hunt is on, and you're the prey!
