What was your favourite scene?


Mine was at the end when the sheriff confronts Ed and Bobby. The tension in that scene (and the same passage in the book) gives me goosebumps.

The final shootout near the end. I thought it was so well written, and so well directed. Ed hides out by the overhang until morning and pulls off a clumsy, but successful, arrow shot against his rifle toting enemy. The way they filmed it meant that most people have to see it more than once to understand exactly what happened. Great filmmaking!
