Well im not a movie buff to watch every potboiler kinda movies as you'd know by now. But I have some clear favourites that i've managed to stumble upon by chance.
Having said that there are some few moments that I like in most of the films that i watch quite ofttimes. May be thatz how i'd like to summarize the movie for it all depicts or rather limns some kind of a picture or fragments of life in its own way.
Some to motivate my spirits when im down (like Shawshank Redemption, Kungfu panda, The pursuit of happiness), SOme humble moments that makes us forget all the worldly traits (Cast away, motorcycle diaries, Blind side, Forrest GUmp, Notebook, Saving private ryan), SOme moments moments from some intriguing movies for inquisitive moments (A beautiful mind, WallE) , some irking moments got to be pacified with some nonchalant moments from some movies or rather to brake the shackles out of vetti life (Dil chachta hai, Chennai 28, Office Space) . SOme to relish and revel the sheer beauty or performance and Some to sober up my pensive mood (like when you are almost tipped off whining) like Enchanted. And ofcourse some loveable movies with some serious moments like titanic, a walk to remember, the notebook etc.,
I guess i could compile all those moments of gold into one big pile or rather make a movie out of it :)
Below are such moments from some of the films notwithstanding the following.
The Notebook
This is where Noah would take allie (Rachel Mcadams) for a ride and would give her a packet to feed the swans and she'd just ask him with that smile "What are they all doing here ?". The whole seen just as she says is like a dream (just around a minute). How can you not love her. I really love this scene to have watched over number of times (i've become her fan since then and following her movies till sherlock holmes :))
Shawshank Redemption
The whole move is somewhat close to me for i've leant every word uttered by red (Morgan Freeman). This is how i feel any ideal cast should be. neatly measured without overdoing anything
Some moments really stand-out like playing the Mozart opera song (The Marriage of Figaro) sung by two italian ladies and the moment is best explained through freeman's character red's words HD Video of the scene
"I have no idea to this day what those|two Italian ladies were singing about.
Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid.
I like to think it was something|so beautiful...it can't be expressed in words...
...and makes your heart ache|because of it.
I tell you, those voices soared... higher and farther than anybody|in a gray place dares to dream.
It was like a beautiful bird|flapped into our drab cage...and made those walls dissolve away.
And for the briefest of moments... every last man at Shawshank|felt free. "
Rocky Balboa IV
When he think of advising his son
Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!Video of the scene from the movie
Pursuit of Happiness
Protect your dreams. Its such a scene that touches you way down to you your heart straight away. and it needs no prelude. Just wonderul words of motivation
I guess that most of us kind of feel down sometimes or rather low in spirits for whatever be the reason and it is natural... but it is good to know what makes us feel better and to believe in ourselves - a special movie, a song, writing or reading a book or a blog.
Now that i've told you a bit about my fav scenes in the movies, hang-on we'll see about the rest in due course.
