Great Movie Moments
Over the next few months, I am going to take a departure from the normal tech and business musings to post some of my favorite moments in film. I love and am inspired by movies of all kinds. I am also very forgiving of imperfections, often ignoring myriads of faults because the movie does one thing perfectly.
It is rare to see a truly perfect film, and when it happens it never goes unnoticed. But films which are often not perfect sometimes hold the most remarkable gems, and I’ll be focusing on some that perhaps others have missed.
To me, a Great Movie Moment is not merely a “good scene”, but one that is pivotal to the entire purpose of the film. Not only that, to be a great moment for me, that pivotal moment has to work perfectly, even if the rest of the film may not. Many of my choices are turning points, or moments which are the culmination of the drama that has been crafted up until that time.
So, I hope you enjoy these and I’ll try to include as much commentary as I can. Note that lots of these are spoilers! So, if you haven’t seen the film, and want to see the moment for yourself, watch and come back later and see if you agree with me.
