What is the best movie moment without any words?

[rium125]

not technically a film but the scene in the (I think 20th) episode of Evangelion, where it just freezes for about two minutes. the sheer tension in that scene I stopped whatever else I was doing and just watched, until its conclusion

 

[quantum mechanic]

In Inception,

Spoiler

Right after "I was disappointed you tried."

Spoiler

When Robert opens the safe to find the pinwheel up until the end of the dream.

 

[Phantom_IEC]

The scene in 2001 where the bone becomes a spaceship.

Similar is a sequence in the Canterbury tales where a swooping bird of prey fades to a swooping Spitfire.

The final scene of Inception.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

That one scene from Up. You know the one. The one that almost/did make you cry.

That.

Also, the Tom Selleck scene from Something Something Something Darkside. Not a movie but still, great scene with epic timing.

 

[TriggerUnhappy]

During Children of Men, when the entire battle stops upon the soldiers seeing the baby. I'd post a video, but all of em seem to be copyrighted. :/ Also:

Short story count? Only music in this.

Yes, this is Pixar as well, just in 2D

Further proof that Pixar can do no wrong.

Oh Dae Sue simply panicked. He expected Lee Woo-Jin to kill himself once he discovered the secret that Lee Woo-Jin had slept with his sister, and that Oh Dae Sue spreading the rumour had been the reason Oh Dae Sue was locked up. When it was revealed Oh Dae Sue had been locked up to let his daughter age so that Lee Woo-Jin could get his revenge by making them sleep together, and even fall in love, Oh Dae Sue did not expect that. After all, if you were told you had just slept with your daughter that you hadn't seen in fifteen years, would you think rationally?

Plus, the whole cutting off his tongue thing was more symbolic than for shock factor. Lee Woo-Jin blamed Oh Dae Sue's 'tongue' for talking, spreading the rumours that Lee Woo-Jin had slept with his sister and impregnated her, which was why she killed herself. Cutting off his tongue meant he sacrificed it due to the harm it had caused Lee Woo-Jin.

Spoiler

No, I suppose I wouldn't and it makes sense when you put it that way. Still though, I thought that last scene was a tad overdone. Everything else was amazing. I did like the ending with the hypnosis thing though.

I did get the tongue cutting part though. I knew it was because Lee Woo Jin had blamed Oh Dea Su for talking and spreading rumors and that was a way to show his silence. What better way to show you'll never talk again than by cutting out your own tongue?

Oh and I'm not sure if I asked you , but have you seen Thirst yet?

 

[rium125]

also,the very end of 3:10 to Yuma

 

[Gardenia]

I am torn between:
The mexican standoff in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
The "album-scene" from Oldboy.
Or Begotten in it's entirety.

Spoiler: Especially that first bit when:

"God" eviscerates himself with the razor.

Spoiler

The only bit of the ending I didn't like was when Oh Dae Sue started begging. I think I can blame the actor for that, despite him doing an amazing job all the way up to that point. I really liked the bit in the elevator before Lee Woo-Jin shoots himself. That was surprisingly moving.. For me anyway. Which probably says many worrying things about my personality.

As for Thirst, not yet, annoyingly. I neither have money nor time. As soon as I get the chance I will. I've heard good things.

My point exactly. Oh Dae Sue was presented as a heartless, soulless monster throughout the whole movie who doesn't take shit from anyone...

Spoiler

then he began begging to that prick to not say anything. Fuck, Oh Dae Sue, just kill the bastard yourself XD

And yes, please watch Thirst. It's fucking amazing. Just watched it for the first time a few days ago and I'm currently working on a review for it.

Dare I say.....it's even better than Oldboy!

 

[sgwee]

so many things come to mind, lets start with WW2 flicks. some parts in Shindler's list, one that comes to mind is when liam Neeson and the crazy nazi guy are preparing for their day, shaving in unison. I don't know it just was some great visual characterization. also the pianist, when he is locked up in that room with a piano and your holding your breath waiting for him to start playing and nazi's to kill him.

now other things, UP was the first thing that came to mind yes of course. and I wish I could include the end of Donnie Darko but the song Mad World did have Lyrics, but does that count as dialogue? lol.

I'm sure more will come to mind as the day goes on

oh and heres a little treat for everyone <3

[UnwishedGunz]

Spoiler: Especially that first bit when:

"God" eviscerates himself with the razor.

Holy shit! What IS that??? Is this a window into some kind of nightmare dimension???

Basically...yes. That is exactly what it is.

Well, to be fair, he wasn't presented as a monster in the begining. He was presented as weak and a coward before he was imprisoned. I guess it's not a huge leap of faith to say the revelation about his daughter reverted him back to the spineless man he was before he decided to take his vengeance.

Better than Oldboy?! Hmm.. I'll certainly have to check it out. To be honest, I think on a philosophical level, Sympathy for Mr Vengeance has more depth than Oldboy, but Oldboy is just much for enjoyable to watch. Sympathy for Mr Vengeance is unbelievably depressing and bitter in tone.

I'll agree that SFMV was far more philosophical and in depth and I'd actually put it on par with Oldboy just because I thought it was such a great movie, but yes, Oldboy is far more accessible to just sit down and watch.

Thirst is....a bit different. It does this weird thing where about halfway through, it goes all artsy and has all this strange imagery that didn't seem to fit with the first half. Still, it's a great movie and I command you to see it!!!

 

[astrav1]

When Oh-Dae Sue is flipping through the photo album near the end of Oldboy. If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about.

FFFFFUUUUUUUUU!!!!! Fargo, goddamn it, stop ninja'ing me to awesome things like this!!!

No kidding. Oldboy, what a great movie.
