+James “Duffy” Bond that doesn't make sense. Mainly because there wouldn't be a movie without robin williams. Same way without Damon or Affleck who wrote it.
This is the best use of a song in a movie. I always heard this song on either/or liked it and brushed over it, but now every time I hear it I think of the emotional climax and beauty that this scene is.
If you think this is good. The directors choice of using Elliot Smith's Needle In The Hay for The Royal Tenenbaums scene where Luke Wilson is commiting suicide is even better. A song about suffering and suicide in a scene about suffering and suicide chosen by the director (Wes Anderson) who knew Elliot in person & the direction his life was going, who in less than 2 years after it's release committed suicide himself. One of the best & completely eeri, surreal & depressing everytime i watch it since his death.
Fuck, that's an awful moment isn't it? 'I love you', 'take care'. I'm always willing him to say it back. But he never does, no matter how many times I watch it.
This movie reminds me of the time before the internet just dominated everything.. I worked at blockbuster and everyone rented this movie.. I just remember that. Blockbuster isn't even around in my town anymore.. it's crazy.
This comment even hits harder now that another decade passed by with the internet becoming everything in all parts of life. Guess it wasnt that crazy 12 years ago. Wish we could just go back to the late 90s and stay there.
I really appreciate the haunting atmosphere of the recording. I thought the phrasing was very good and stayed very close to Lennon’s recordings. It’s cool man 🎥
The thing that makes this scene so profound is the loss of trust. Skylar extends her love and trust to Will, but he's unable to trust anyone with how he really feels and inadvertently breaks her trust in return.
It's fair to say that Elliott Smith's music (as was but perhaps to a lesser extent, Danny Elfman's score) was what pushed this film into that realm of "magic". The film is top to bottom, back to front, fabulous. And, as others have said, it would probably be considered so even with a different sound track. That said however, the romance scenes with Skylar and of course the ending credits would be missing so much "extra heart" without Smith's mesmerizing, heart-massaging music. All the elements in this film are collectively, lightning in a bottle and Smith's contribution is softly and subtly....extraordinary.
I love the professor's assistant he s like a Greek chorus watching learning and giving advice not the narrator but more of a barometer telling us Which way the wind must blow
aha, normally when I try to talk about Elliott with friends/family it's the opposite and devolves into '...have u seen Good Will Hunting? Yeah? He wrote those songs...'
This is such an infinitely better track than Miss Misery, but too bad it wasn't originally composed for the film's soundtrack, otherwise it could have been nominated for the Oscar.
He's a self-sheltered/protective and damaged person who doesn't let people get close or allow himself to be vulnerable. Refuses to live up to his potential and always self destructs. Literally the entire point of his character. Has nothing to do with him not having feelings for her. You completely misread the entire character.
왜 전화했니...그냥..그런데 애정표현 할 여유도 없이 살아야하는 삶의 시간과 공간을 계속 견디기만해야해서 공중전화를 처음이자 마지막으로 하였었다..그냥 공부하지말고 운동이나 할껄 그랬나..계속 또 앉아만있어야했고 서로를 외롭게 방치만해야했다. 건강은 항상 좋지않았다. 아무도 원망할순없지만..그렇지만 흔한 애정표현도 자주 못 해보는 atmosphere 속으로는 다 애처로웠다. 다 약자였기에..혹사는 당연한거였지만..그래도 일말의..웃을 여유도..없이 ..경쟁속에.고개숙이고 살아야만했던..
