![]() because I wanna be great."ĭamien Chazelle's Whiplash was a sleeper hit, winning three Oscars at the Academy Awards. And so for those reasons, I'd rather just, you know, break it off clean. And we're just gonna start to hate each other. Memorable Lines: "And really, I'm gonna start to resent you for even asking me to stop drumming. It is a very apt metaphor for this old-world idea of the American dream. But during these pursuits, we end up expending all of our energy towards these goals - goals that are constantly moving farther away. Neither blind approval nor cynical disillusionment, these words reflect how humans have the impressive capacity to never lose optimism toward the pursuit of our own "green lights" in our lives. ![]() At the close of the film, after the tragic conclusion, Carraway delivers some of the most poignant lines from all of American literature. For example, Tobey Mcguire is now my default Nick Carraway and contrasts nicely with Leonardo DiCaprio's bombastic and charming portrayal of The Great Gatsby. Scott Fitzgerald's words can pull you into vibrant worlds, but seeing the character's on the big screen added a whole other dimension. Nonetheless, for me, the story of Gatsby came to life with Baz Lurhmann's whimsical adaptation. Ok, this is a bit of a cheat, as this monologue is ripped directly from the source material. And then one fine morning- So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." Memorable lines: "Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. Filled to the brim with magical creatures, wizards, elves, and humans, Middle Earth runs the risk of destruction at the hands of the all-powerful Sauron if the "one ring" is not destroyed in Mt Doom in Mordor. For the few of you who don't know, Lord of the Rings centers around a high-fantasy world dubbed Middle Earth. The little hobbit is one of fiction's best-written supporting characters, and this movie monologue is just one small example of that. If there is anyone I want in my corner on an adventure to destroy a magical evil ring and save the world, Samwise Gamgee is who I would want beside me. SAM: "That there's some good in this world, Mr. Because they were holding on to something." Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. Even if you were too small to understand why. Those were the stories that stayed with you. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. In her original reality, Evelyn lives a humble life with her husband, Waymond, but resents him, blaming him for how miserable her life turned out.īut in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. In the scene that includes the quote above, a superstar version of Evelyn talks with a wealthy CEO version of her husband. Without spoiling too much, the story centers around Evelyn, a Chinese-American immigrant, played magnificently by Michelle Yeoh, who discovers, while being audited, that she must connect with parallel universe versions of herself to prevent a powerful being from destroying the multiverse. But, even with this description, I still feel as if I am vastly underselling the movie. It transcends genres - blending all of your favorites into a single outstanding film experience. Nothing can truly prepare you for the beautiful, hilarious, action-packed, and heart-warming chaos that is Everything Everywhere All At Once. The cast coming on stage at the end of the show was the start of a tradition that has lasted decades, though not every host has been showered with roses as Bergen was.Memorable Lines: "So, even though you have broken my heart yet again, I wanted to say, in another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you." Bergen and Radner talking about female insecurities may have been born out of filling time for the show, but the improvised chat session came off as a breath of fresh air and it certainly aided to the great vibe of the show. ![]() However, what this episode did feature was a tremendously infectious vibe, mainly due to Bergen's acceptance to give herself entirely over to the cast, in putting trust into them to make her look good and to help bring out her comic sensibilities. Only the Jaws spoof of the New York City land-shark carried any weight whatsoever. Most of the sketches on the show never really hit hard. Kaufman's "little foreign guy" character (which would be used to tremendous effect later on the television show Taxi) stole the spotlight away from a real solid performance from host Candice Bergen. The 'Bee's' were relegated to just John Belushi invading the host's monologue and the film by Albert Brooks was great, but the best performance of the night belonged to Andy Kaufman.again. The clumsy folded chair kicking opener aside, this episode's recurring show bits hit the spot effectively.
