I watched a lot of movies lately.
Expendables: The Fry scene! That was one awesome scene! Stallone drove his plane around the port while the enemies arrived on the scene. Statham came out of a pit in front of the pilot windwhsield. He popped the huge guns out of the tip of the plane and start strafing at the enemies on the dock. Right when the plane flied pass over the enemies, Stallone open the oil tank on the enemies. After passing them overhead, Statham turned and shoot his emergency gun at the duck, then BOOM! When I first saw it, I had no clue what they were doing. But aftermath impact of the BOOM was huge! It was simply awesome! The effect of a plane with strafing I thought would be mediocre at best. However, as the final revenge move, Fry and die, it was truly like the characters in the movie said, "it is a statement!"

Mother India: The shooting in the finale. That was truly shocking. I was shocked not by the act, but by the Mother's acknowledgement of right or wrong. Considering what the Mother had suffered at the hands of the rich village man through out the year, and considering how devoted she was to both of her sons. In the end, when the choice of absolute right or wrong befell on her hands, the fact she did not falter was simply astounding. I felt tremendous sadness for her, but I felt extremely alert at the same time. The heaviness of time and emotion built up during the film seemed all exploded in that final act. One of the most memorable movie endings!

The wild bunch: The movie is ranked the highest western by me so far. The scene that I remembered the most was when the gangs decided to go in to the rescue, or simply kill and be killed while rescuing. There were something extremely Steely about it. There was not much words, but looks. The looks said more than words. What is it? I really cannot put my hands on, but stuffy yet, manly.

Once upon a time in the west: The final dual. When the musical score came up, and Bronson's face showed up at the same time, the eerie and shocking harmonica cooked the scene up with a stir. I can never forget that setup. Henry Fonda and Bronson both did not need to do much with their faces, but the atmosphere surrounded them was awesome. The final secret was going to be revealed. It put my focus right on the edge. It was just very memorable!
--------------
Human condition: The scene where Chinese Prisoners arrived from train. The hungry drove them mad. The protagonist needed to stop the starving stricken crowd from over stuffing themselves with food and water. Simply scary.
-------------
Sophie Scholl: The scene where Sophie Scholl was tried to be persuaded by the investigator. The emotion was spilled out, and the reason triumphed as well. Simply a great scene that should be reminded again and again.
--------------
Il y a longtemps que je t'aime: the dinner scene, where the protagonist was asked about where she's been all these years. She simply stated the truth, yet, everybody laughed. Because the truth was simply too impossible. I felt so weird about the scene. It was a truth, but none believed it. They simply took it as a joke. It was a simple revelation how far apart of the protagonist from the rest of the world.
