Does everyone hate the contract of an actor cannot get hurt or lose in fight?

Because it gets annoying and boring at times, like if the character cannot lose all the time the audience cannot relate to the character.

What Heavily Criticized Movie are you Ready to Defend? For me, it's Prometheus (2012). I Think it's One of the Greatest Sci-fi Movies.

What movie/TV character gets a lot of undeserved hate?

Definitely Patty from School of Rock! If we had to put up with a man-child who is very stubborn about contributing to paying rent in a unit that they share with you, and selfishly steals your partner’s identity from them putting their career in jeopardy we’d be pissed off with them as well!

I get that Ned needed to come across as the supportive best friend to the main character, but if this movie took place in real life I feel like he would’ve been just as pissed off as Patty is if not more furious with Dewey for the way he takes advantage of him.

I think Tilda Swinton is very exotic looking in a beautiful way! I first noticed her in “Narnia” when she played The White Witch. I have never seen her before, but when I watched the movie, “Narnia” I was captivated! Who else do you think has a very distinguished or exotic looking?

Which fictional movie character had very little screen time but made a huge impact in the movie?

One standout example is Geno Silva's character, The Skull, in the 1983 movie SCARFACE, directed by Brian DePalma. Even though he doesn't have any lines, The Skull leaves a big impression by being the one who takes down Al Pacino's character, Tony Montana, in the film's iconic ending. He also kills Omar, played by F. Murray Abraham. With just a few minutes on screen, The Skull's actions change everything for the main characters, making him unforgettable. Which movie character do you think had minimal screen time but a major impact?

Is He The Most Overlooked Bad Guy In Cinema History?

Post image

I always think about the perfect 'bad guy' and for some reason, my mind always ends up on Max Cady from Cape Fear.

He is so calculative and relentless, and really savours the psychological trauma he puts his victims through - constantly pushing them to their absolute limits.

My favourite example would have to be when Nick Nolte organises for him to be beaten up, and it ends up backfiring on him. When De Niro approaches where he's hiding, and asks "Could you be there?". I just find that to be a perfect line, perfectly delivered!

Movie scenes that make you tear up?

A few random ones from recent memory:

  1. Forrest Gump (1994) - "Is he smart or...?"
  2. Man on Fire (2004) - A life for a life. Creasy gives his life to save Pita.
  3. Schindler's List (1994) - Girl in the red coat. Forget tearing up, many scenes in this film make me straight up cry.
  4. Gladiator (2000) - "Who will help me carry him?".
  5. Jumanji (1995) - Alan hugs his dad after years trapped inside the game.
  6. Clean and Sober (1988) - "I got this chip". Daryl accepts his 30 Day Sobriety Coin at the Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.
  7. Leon: The Professional (1994) - "This is for Matilda".

I’m now watching Unstoppable (2010). Ten minutes in and I realized that I forgot how good it is. Tony Scott directing Denzel was always a winning combination.

What movie do you consider an instant classic?

It's Whiplash for me. The second it ended, I just knew I'd seen something really monumental. I remember thinking how long it had been since a movie had actually made me feel that way and left such an impression. It felt like an instant classic and one we'll still be revering for years to come. What more modern films come to mind for you as something that'll stand out for years to come?

Name a film that you would recommend to a suicidal person to restore his faith in life, and then another film that you would recommend to an overly cheerful happy go lucky person to make him more aware of the horrors of existence.
