Romantic-Cynic
The Bourne Legacy I love the movie and love the ending:
(Best action movie of the year. Buy several copies, give them as gifts.:clap)
Detachment:
"There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart"
One of my favorite quotes of all time, much less closing quote, from Sucker Punch:
Sweet Pea: And finally this question, the mystery of who's story it will be. Of who draws the curtain. Who is it that chooses our steps in the dance? Who drives us mad? Lashes us with whips and crowns us with victory when we survive the impossible? Who is it, that does all of these things?
Who honors those we love for the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us, and at the same time sings that we will never die? Who teaches us what's real and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend? Who chains us? And Who holds the key that can set us free...
It's You. You have all the weapons you need. Now Fight!
(500) Days of Summer:
"Hi, I'm Summer."
In addition to that ironic ending, the real punch line for the movie had just been delivered by the narrator:
"If Tom had learned anything... it was that you can't ascribe great cosmic significance to a simple earthly event. Coincidence, that's all anything ever is, nothing more than coincidence... Tom had finally learned, there are no miracles. There's no such thing as fate, nothing is meant to be. He knew, he was sure of it now."
In 2001: A Space Odyssey, the final statement was made by the visuals. But after reading the book, the final line in it always comes to mind when I watch it:
"Then he waited, marshaling his thoughts and brooding over his still untested powers. For though he was master of the world, he was not quite sure what to do next.
"But he would think of something".
Fiddler on the Roof:
"Maybe that's why we always wear our hats."
Moonstruck:
"A la familia!"
Savages:
O: "I looked up the definition of savage. It means cruel, crippled, regressed back to a primal state of being. One day, maybe, we'll be back. For now, we live like savages....beautiful, savages."
Memento:
"Now, where was I."
Black Swan:
"It was perfect".
Stranger Than Fiction:
Kay Eiffel: "As Harold took a bite of Bavarian sugar cookie, he finally felt as if everything was going to be ok. Sometimes, when we lose ourselves in fear and despair, in routine and constancy, in hopelessness and tragedy, we can thank God for Bavarian sugar cookies. And, fortunately, when there aren't any cookies, we can still find reassurance in a familiar hand on our skin, or a kind and loving gesture, or subtle encouragement, or a loving embrace, or an offer of comfort, not to mention hospital gurneys and nose plugs, an uneaten Danish, soft-spoken secrets, and Fender Stratocasters, and maybe the occasional piece of fiction. And we must remember that all these things, the nuances, the anomalies, the subtleties, which we assume only accessorize our days, are effective for a much larger and nobler cause. They are here to save our lives. I know the idea seems strange, but I also know that it just so happens to be true.
"And, so it was, a wristwatch saved Harold Crick."
(But some might say it was actually a cookie.
)
"Marta: Are we lost?
Aaron: No, I was just looking at our options.
(pause) Marta: Oh, I was kinda hoping we were lost"
Aaron: No, I was just looking at our options.
(pause) Marta: Oh, I was kinda hoping we were lost"
