Minute Detail - IMO The Best Line Delivery in the Movie

(1/15) > >>

rtprod:
Too many, but here's a few of mine:

"Ain't never enough time.  Never enough."

"I did once." 

"..Thought he meant to get drunk."

"Jack, I swear..."

And two of my all-time favorites:

"That foreman, he- he owes me.  I worked through a blizzard last Christmas.  Remember that?" 

"Well, all right.  As long as I don't have to saang.." 

There's something about the way Ennis stutters when he says "he- he owes me" that literally puts me in a reverie. 

David:
"thats the most I've spoke all year"    Nice  line, Great smile from Heath

EnnisDelMar:
The whole confrontation between Ennis and Alma, Michelle is just amazing in that scene (as is Heath). Then the telephone call scene Anne is brilliant.

rtprod:
Brandon,

What I love most about the kitchen scene is the way that Heath is trembling and growling while she speaks, like a bull about ready to charge.  If we could see his feet, they're probably scraping the floor.

And the brilliance of the telelphone scene lies in what's not in the dialogue -- the reading between the lines, capturing the expressions and listening to the vocal patterns, breathing and inflection.  This scene flies on Hathaway's additional layers of meaning that don't exist in the text.  Great stuff, and what great film acting is all about.

Every single word is pure poetry but I love the way Jack says, "She got lucky."

I also love (from Ennis), "Looks like my dad was right."

I don't know what it is about those two lines, I listen for them every time.
