So sad .. one thing you can have it all but if your not blessed with happiness from within it doesn’t mean anything.. I hope robin has found that peace and happiness
These days the story would go... I just met a girl in a bar, because World Series tickets go for $2000 apiece, and are gobbled up by the season ticket holders who can afford $20,000 a year for a couple descent seats or corporate accounts. So we watched the game at a sports bar, like we always do, and there was this drunk chick there that gave me a hummer in the bathroom during the 7th inning stretch. But you should have seen her, Will. She had a lower back tramp stamp that advertised how sticky that target got for the cost of a half dozen cocktails. I don't regret the clap she gave me or the handjobs she gave to all my friends. I didn't know Pudge was going to hit a home run.
I had something like this. A cute girl sat behind me in a summer school class. She was trying to talk to me but I was intimidated by her. Why? She talked a lot in class, had a job, had ambitions, said her Dad worked for tbe enivronmental agency ...as for me? I was suicidal all the time and friendless and still demoralized after high school despite 2 years out. I just moved to the area living with my parents for the summer. I just felt I would ruin her life had I gotten close to her and she wouldnt like me once she got to know me. I dropped out of the class and never saw her again. I still think about her despite being 8 yeaes ago. Never experienced anything like that ever again. I have a feeling she was it. I had a 1 in a million opportunity here. I was young, in college and no responsibilities. It was perfect. But I got scared and intimidated. I prolly wouldve given her the Will Hunting break up dialog where she'll get her amazing career through her Dad and meet someone much better and kick me to the curb and rip on me to her new guy. Im sure she found someone and has a bright future ahead of her. Prolly has like a million pics of her and her friends and boyfriend all over facebook. Prolly kids in the next 5 years. I hate it
Everything about that scene is amazing. The writing, the dialogue, the storytelling within the storytelling, the performance, the blocking. Oh man, just too beautiful.
oh god i think i had a trauma response i’m not kidding when i tell you i was cryin but this time i was shaking / trembling / holding my knees crying out of control i’ve never done this idk what this means
First time I saw this movie, this scene hit like a punch. And then at the end, Elliott Smith's Between the Bars start playing in the background and that punch turned into a freight train.
"I just slid my ticket across the table and said, "Sorry guys, I gotta go see about a girl."" .. "Oh yeah, they saw it in my eyes and I meant it". I know it's just acting and a made up story, but this resonated something in me. I hope these type of stories really happen in today's world.
Crazy I watched this the other day with my boyfriend. As soon as this scene was over, he pulled me close, kissed me on my forehead. He said, “I felt bad for leaving my friend, but you were more important!” Later I spoke with them, and they are super happy for us! Now we all hang out! 😁 Put the woman First! A REAL friend will understand!
The dialogue in this scene is complete perfection, the empathy from will, the build up of the story from Sean, the complete turn at “I wasn’t there” where you’re like holy shit wills been played, the Helen of Troy reference, and finishing it off saying he didn’t know pudge was going to hit a home run. Just all of it so so good
I always like Robin since Moscow on the Hudson - a nice movie - but it seems he took a lot of so-so scripts (movies) and had fewer great movies in his inventory like this one.
A Beautiful Movie- Extremely deep and deeply Moving… Can you say when you knew, they were the One ? … September 4th 1988…driving me home from our first date, never saw it coming, last thing on my mind - He never held my hand nor asked to kiss me good night, He walked me to my door we said good night - I knew it was Him, through everything, There are no Regrets, it’s been a crazy Life, I know He’s the Greatest Gift from God, for me.
