So the only issue I have here is that in real life this would cause an irreversible mistrial. I mean they probably couldn’t even file this again, case over. Raping judge wins, honest lawyer gets (at least) disbarred. I doubt he could get a gig as a paralegal after this.
If you think this scene it’s easy to play it ,try it to yourself,at that pace,no other noises,put yourself in the both roles and than call it easy….after all this years it haunts me every time I look at it. Definitely another masterpiece movie but to recognise the greatness of the actor in this role it is massive effort.
Also I’m from Oklahoma and some Jackass decided to say Redskin was derogatory, no no no it’s not jackass. It’s simply a way of describing people who used to paint their entire bodies RED. 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Why is black face supposed to be racist? I don’t get it? That’s like black jockey hitching posts, it’s because black guys were the first JOCKEYS!!!! Idiots.
This should be played in an add by the Democrats, starting in September 2024. Trump as the usual defendant and Jack Smith or Fani Willis as ( Al Pacino) talk about art imitating life ... literally 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Once again proving that blackface presented blacks more generously than they have presented themselves. No sagging, well-articulated words, nice suits and dresses, somehow less crazy hairdos, and musically talented. It's no wonder they had to get rid of it. It was too aspirational.
I still think they added too much comedy scenes to this movie. Remember Venezuela? Remember Manley? This was pure horror. But I can´t imagine it without Delbert McClintock.
At 0:45 there is a man holding a device in front of his mouth and it looks like as if he's talking to it. What is that? Is that how they used to record court sessions back then? Didn't they use stenography? Or is it something else?
Does anyone have a link to the extended version of this scene? He makes a comment about “Miami Beach to your basic termite” and there’s a wasp nest at the end.
I love her look of disbelief as she turns with tears in her eyes and realizes what he’s just done for her. A powerful moment of wordless acting by the great Debbie Reynolds.
I like to chalk this up as his encounter with death. Anton was a psychopath no doubt, but in a sense, death is too. No emotion, it just shows up, and you're gone if it's your time.
The scene is setup so perfectly, the belts on the wall behind him looking like hangman nooses, already ads a lingering fear. It foreshadows the gentile man living off another man's work (the heavy equipment and land in the bg). The greatest scenes are ones you can put on mute and still feel all the energy it delivers... Just sucks because Jack Links wasn't around till 1986 and this was set in 1980... but, I'll forgive them. Every scene in this film could be an award winning short film.
Elvis Presley was a revolution. He was a good looking white man singing black music and bringing us all together. From the looks of it, Al Jolson tried to do something similar by bringing us all together by portraying a black man singing white music, but went about it in such a horrible way. I'm not offended by this because I know it's art, but many people would find this disgusting. Definitely didn't age well. I guess nothing lasts forever.
I've always thought Pacino just sitting on the steps was the perfect ending because it shows how its just business as usual. Lawyers just walking out discussing their cases and Jay just walking into the courthouse tipping his wig is the icing on the cake basically confirming this is all a shit show..
