Dustin Hoffman & Laurence Olivier. 

Olivier arrived in New York frail, hardly able to clothe himself. Miracle time, Song of Bernadette revisited. But this was no movie—this was the real thing; the only actual miracle I’d ever witnessed. With practically every organ in his body infected with cancer—remission! Spirit overcame illness, and Olivier was reborn to continue on for thirteen more years making film history. 

Possibly the most emotional embrace of my life was his simple whisper to me: “I’m here because of you, dear Robert. I never believed in miracles—I was wrong.”

if only this couple really existed. when he reaches for the knife after wiping her tear- brilliant scene.  best thriller film of 2012 in a year where there were mainly shit horror films. (don't even get me fucking started on House At the End of the Street or the trash that was Smiley)

What does it take to be a filmmaker in Hollywood? Even today I still wonder what it takes to be a professional or even an artist in Hollywood. How do you survive the constant tug of war between personal expression and commercial imperatives? What is the price you pay to work in Hollywood? Do you end up with a split personality? Do you make one movie for them, one for yourself? -Martin Scorsese

Best Closers in the biz.

The Telegraph website has recently put up it’s top 25 list of best closing lines.  For me the best still comes from The Usual Suspects “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.  And like that – poof – he’s gone!”.  Awesome.  Check out the source link for the other top 24 closing lines in cinema as decided by the Telegraph.
