Clenching Fists
By: Tessa Mae Harris
These are the scenes that on top of touching me emotionally, also had a physical effect, whether it was clenching a fist, wiping a tear away or cringing my brow.
1. Hal’s pleading for mercy.
2.Kevin Spacey, nuff said.
3.Teddy’s deadpan “I’m going to break” and David at the bottom of the sea
4.Why oh why! He wasn’t going to hurt anybody!
5.The sidewalk and mouth :/ The ending was tear tugging.
6.When they get shot by thousands of bullets.
7.When placard scene with Keira Knightley
8.Burning down the house.
9.When the blood spills on to the piano when he is hung from a hook.
10. When the baby dies. When the dead baby walks on the ceiling: creepy shit.
11. Deadpan look in Jennifer Connelly’s eyes when she’s selling herself, and Leto plunging a needle is his infected arm.
12.When he realises it’s a dream and the flashbacks of his suicide, in the elevator too.
13.The wife’s execution and his own.
14.Mommy dies. But the way its done is incredible.
15.When the drag and strip in the bathroom. oh… and when she is raped of course.
16.Quand she is paralyzed and later amputated. THe slow motion of her fall: amazing.
17.When he is running away from the darkness.
18.When he realises Paul Bettany is in his mind.
19.When he reads her writing in the wall, and when she prostitutes herself.
20.When Peter Saaskard cries cause he didn’t kill anyone, and his funeral.
21. When Portman cries in the rain.
There so many better than these.
