favourite film scenes? (page 7)

Movie 7 Pounds. I love the whole movie but esspecially the scene where Ben Thomas (Will Smith) says "It is within my power to drastically change his cirumstances, but I don't want to give that man a gift he doesn't deserve." Not only is the movie about unconventional way of cutting right down to the core truth of what really motivates people but also how easily we can misinterpret what we are seeing at first glance. Just somehow the movie resonates deeply. Awesome movie.

Danny:
Has he just been busted?
I: No.
Danny:
Then why's he wearing that old suit?
Withnail:
Old suit? This suit was cut by Hawke's of Saville row. Just because the best tailoring you've ever seen is above you f*cking appendix doesn't mean anything.
Danny:
Don't get uptight with me man. Because if you do I'll have to give you a dose of medicine and if I spike you you'll know you've been spoken to.
Withnail:
You wouldn't spike me you're too mean. Besides, there's nothing invented I couldn't take.
Danny:
If I medicined you you'd think a brain tumour was a birthday present.
Withnail:
I could take double anything you could.

Danny [removing his sunglasses]: Very, very foolish words man.

I: He's right Withnail. Look at him . His mechanisms gone. He's had more drugs than you've had hot dinners.
Withnail:
I'm not having this shag-sack insulting me. Let him get his drugs out.

[Danny gets a doll out of a bag.]

Danny:
This doll is extremely dangerous. It has voodoo qualities.

[Withnail snorts. Danny takes the head off the doll and extracts a handful
of pills.]

Danny:
Trade: Phenodihydrochloride benzelex. Street: The embalmer.
Withnail:
Balls. I'll swallow it and run a mile.

Villabolo: "Also the Wizard of Oz scene, towards the end where the 'wizard' is exposed and says: "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain . . ."

There is a lot of strange symbolism in Wizard of Oz.

I think a lot of it is based on a ritual called "Revelation of Method".

The particular scene you describe reminds me of the hidden hand:

"they were admitted into the presence of the preceptor, called his companions, and permitted to converse with him freely. Previous to the expiration of that term he delivered his instructions to them from behind a screen” http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=2536
