Now that is one spectacular choice.
That phone call ruined the philosophical mood for the audience as well as for Max. We are supposed to be in Max's head more than just observing him.
It's a great choice by the director how everyone scowled when they didn't get the canned bullshit answer disguised as an enlightened one. How this one panelist decided to break the mesmerized charade and you see confusion and anger in peoples' eyes.
BUT... that "we used to be" line is also lazy nostalgic whitewashing of a mountain of incredibly inconvenient, sordid history.
That Casino Royale scene might be in my personal top five. After having drifted away from Bond since the last one I had really enjoyed - that would be The Living Daylights - while watching this Madagascar parkour I felt the spark rekindle completely.
EDIT: #1 in my old classics bucket list is to someday watch Lawrence Of Arabia on the big screen. I think the restoration and remaster was overseen by Martin Scorsese.
Same. Even on my decently large TV at home—with the extreme letter-boxing for 70mm—the restoration looks fantastic. Some day in the theater, my friend…
I initially read this as favorite films and came to say The Princess Bride or Clue. But for favorite scenes, I’d say the one where Inigo is growing impatient waiting for the Man in the Mask to scale the mountain or the part of Clue where the butler races around the mansion trying to explain the murders
The monologue by Michael Nyqvist, where he talks about John Wick to his son. The background music is perfectly synced to the action and leads perfectly to the climax.
This scene from John Wick 1, where he's introduced by Michael Nyqvist. Listen to the background music and how it matches the action and builds up to the end of the scene.
