Warning: spoilers are inevitable. Proceed at your own risk.
What are your favorite scenes or sequences of film and why? What moved you, made you laugh, made you love, made you hate, made you cry, made you shiver, made you gasp, made you fear, made you think, made you crazy, made you question, made your heart beat faster…made you want to do that too, that is, make similarly moving cinema.
Example:
The part in one of my favorite films, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, in which, in the third act(?), Dodge connects with his estranged father and sends his lady love, Penny, home to England. While the song "The Air that I breathe" by the Hollies plays he whispers in her ear that she is the love of his life.
Why? Well, it is beautifully put together. Martin Sheen is brilliantly cast as Dodge's father. The song is just wonderful and perfect to make an old softy me like me cry. The sequence of shots is brilliantly done, culminating with the whisper mentioned above. It is cinematic beauty, if not perfection. Pitch perfect crescendo to the building romance between Dodge and Penny, plus the father/son subplot.
