Winner - Rocky
At the last count their were 563
rocky movies made (or was it 6)
;-) Every fan has their own
favourite with most
opting for the unrealistic Ivan Drago fiasco that was Rocky 4.
Maybe the first 'Rocky' being
released nearly 30 years ago is
the reason that most people
overlook the gritty, raw and
deservedly Oscar winning
screenplay that depicted a down
and out 'bum' of a dockworker,
picked from obscurity to take on
the world champion in Apollo
Creed. The actual plot and
character development in the
first Rocky set the scene for
what we believe gave way to the
most inspirational movie scene
in history. When Rocky gets
knocked to the ground, his
trainer shouts 'down, down stay
down' but rocky rises again to
the utter disbelief of his
opponent. Rocky then gives
everything he has, his heart,
body and soul to deliver a
devastating rib breaking
assault. All this to the backing
of a kick-ass soundtrack
composed by Bill Conti simply
sets the hairs on my arm upright
even after my 4 millionth view.
Domestic violence is deplorable
but along with all other taboos
is a subject that will always be
on our screens. Directors have a
responsibility to accurately
portray these taboos as true to
life and realistic as possible so as to
project an understanding to the
viewer of how victims suffer.
This scene is actor Ray Winston
at his best in an acting sense.
One can feel that this was not
even scripted and that we are
really a fly on the wall
watching from the outside. The
realism is enhanced with a hand
held in-your-face camera
technique that brings the viewer
into the situation with the
actors
WARNING - This scene shows
very strong domestic violence with
very strong language (18+)
Category
- Psychology
Winner - No Country For
Old Men
Sometime a scene is so
captivating that the view feels
compelled to keep watching just
to see what happens after which
the viewer is left with a whole
head full of analysis as to what
the hell it was all about.
Psychological scenes within
movies can play real tricks with
a persons psyche and leave them
questioning what happened after
the clip moved on even if that's
where the film ends. This
following scene plays on that
analogy after which you may
assess and replay the situation
in your head for hours, even
years or maybe you'll instantly
forget. See what happens with
you.

- Desperate Situation
Winner - The Deer Hunter
'Now That's Another Fine Mess
You've Got Me Into' barked Hardy
to Laurel for the umpteenth
time. I think Hardy never really
appreciated the situation that
others find themselves in where
it seems death is unavoidable.
Based on true events, 3 best
friends from the mid west enrol
into the army to fight in the
Vietnam war only to be captures
and forced into a hideous
situation playing Russian
roulette for the amusement and
gambling habits of their
captors. It also helps that the
cast are world class too!
Most battle scenes in films are
just plain daft. It normally
takes a visionary, almost genius
like director to take on a
challenge in this genre and be
successful. One such director is
Steven Spielberg who finally
gave the cinema world an opening
battle scene not surpassed since
its release. The D-Day landings
in Calais capture all that was
experienced by the soldiers in
true-to-life and brutal realism.
Although the films storyline was
somewhat suspect, the battle
scenes keep a consistency
throughout never wavering from
the directors creative eye or
historical attention to detail.
