Best acting sequence in a movie
I hope this hasn't been covered before, but did not find this subject elsewhere. I thought it would be interesting to post what you consider to be a truely exceptional acting sequence in a movie. I mean a momemt when you truly believed/could feel the acting - anger, happiness, sadness, fear, revenge, love, etc. whatever the actor/sequence conveyed to perfection in your opinion. I don't just mean best movie moments, but instead the best acting moments. Here's a few which stand out to me:
- Russell Crow in Gladiator - when he finally finds his wife and son. The no holding back emotions with snots and all was just fantastic.
- Hugh Jackman/The Fountain - when he returns home after his wife dies and sits on his bed all alone. I could almost feel his pain.
- Paul Giamatti/John Adams - When he meets King George. I could feel the awkwardness he felt. You could see him quivering and barely able to talk because of how nervous he was and becuase he was truley out of his element. Just genius IMHO.
- Tom Hanks/Philadelphia - After he was fired and Denzel refused his case and he is standing in the door way trying to figure out what to do next. The tears, his look of utter dispair just hits me.
- Will Smith/The Pursuit of Happiness - When he get's the job! I felt I got the job.
- Will Smith/I am Legend - The dog seen - you know the one.
- Brad Pitt/Legends of the Fall - When his brother dies.
There are so many I will stop there and see what you guys come back with!
Thanks for participating!
