Minute Detail - IMO The Best Line Delivery in the Movie
delalluvia:
Except for two or three sucky lines, the whole movie is nothing but lines delivered well and convincingly.
The two that strike me as the best are both my favorites and I've said so many times before and are the most convincing because the delivery is SOOOOOOOO realistic. A conversation within a movie that's speaking to you,
Jack: The Pentecost is...I don't...I don't know what the Pentecost is. My momma didn't explain it to me.
Jack: ENNIS! (calling out to a drunk Ennis outside the tent)
Jake pitched his tone perfectly in these two.
The first is said so conversationally, it really sounds like someone would if a very young man was speaking to a close friend about something he's heard of but doesn't really know anything about and is being very honest about it, knowing he won't be made fun of.
And the second just straightened me up. He says the name with such an intonation that it immediately invoikes a person perfectly at ease and comfortable enough that he knows the other person will respond to his aggravated tone.
Jake just nails that and with only one word and his tone of voice.
Kinda like when you were a kid and you heard your parents yelling for you? You knew what was coming by the tone of their voice.

Oh, my! Can't believe I forgot about this one. I *love* that delivery. And the way he takes a hard swig of the whiskey right after and does that sort of bitter thing with his mouth - you know it's not the whiskey, but the bitterness in his heart for his father who never gave him the love he so needed.

I'm not sure about the best delivery but one of my favorite lines is...
"I gotta boy.....8 months.....he smiles a lot."
ROFL....that line gets me everytime!
EnnisDelMar:
Yeah that's a good one, hell all the lines are good IMO..except how the biker says "F*ck you."

I LOVE how while Heath's talking in that scene, he's also periodically stroking Jake's forearm...
it makes me get gooey every time...
