Your favorite scene ?

the club was in scarborough man!!! wooo!!!

Saw it for the first time yesterady, and had no idea that Ewan McGregor was in it...

Anyway my fav scene is when LV's Dad comes to the door of her bedroom and she sings for him, it really felt like magic! And the reaction of the rest of the characters outside on the street was brill too!

Also the really cute scene when he's 'checking the wires'! Lol...

My two favorites are when LV and Billy are talking and Billy tells her about his pigeons, and then when Billy rescues her from the fire.

When Sadie just stood at the door and said, "Okay..." and walked out to go help Billy. So sweet...

And when LV freaks out at the end, screaming, "AND YOUR NIGHTS, AND YOUR NIGHTS, AND YOUR NIGHTS, AND YOUR NIGHTS, AND YOUR NIGHTS OF NEGLECT!"

I have 2 favourite scenes both involving Billy and LV - the first when he leaves the "reading matter" and asks if he can asnwer her phone - there's such a gentleness about him but then the scene completely changes when Mari enters and makes everyone feel uncomfortable.

The second is when Billy keeps saying through the window - just checking the wires then admits that there aren't any wires and he "doesn't know what to say now" - very sweet and a real innocence about those two characters especially when compared to Ray and Mari who certainly weren't innocent.

There was an aspect of Mari that I was confused with - Mari seems to resent her daughter but when the building is on fire she rushes out and says "my baby" but then hours later when the fire is out - she's back to being vile to LV. It was interesting as their relationship wasn't an open book - it's open to interpretation.

Great film

the entire concert scene, when LV finishes come on lets get happy and her father fades away, i cry every time.

I saw this movie just a week ago on tv, a friend alerted me beforehand of its scheduled run on a weekend and made me promise that I'll see it, guaranteeing I'm going to like it very much, not saying why.

I'm so glad I did see it because I had such a wonderful time watching it, the movie having two of my favorite actors in it - Michael Caine and Ewan McGregor - and a revelation of an actress whom I just saw for the first time, Jane Horrocks! She was amazing all throughout! I wish I had seen this quite old movie much earlier. I hope I can have the dvd someday, I really want to watch it again.

My favorite sceness were her main musical act belting out of the blue 'Big Spender', after some nerve-wracking hesitancy on her part, and then almost miraculously transforming herself - after seeing the ghost of her dad seated at a table among the audience - into this livewire of a performer, a great singer she was in the scene, great impressionist and a very entertaining mimic to such an amazing degree, saucy, sweet and sexy, girlishly playful, and then jazzily putting on some changes in inflection with the beat of the drums with the later part of her act, with the musical number 'Be Happy'. She was perfection in that scene.

The other one was Caine's Ray Say song number 'It's Over" ... an extreme contrast to Jane Horrocks incredible precise mimickry, so amateurish but so heartfelt with his desperation, the acceptance of the hopelessness of his situation - bankruptcy and maybe his own impending undoing which he himself instigated.

Ewan McGregor was endearing as the shy electrician engineer Billy here, just like his role as the publisher Norman Warne in Miss Potter, and that scene where he used a cherry picker so he can raise himself up to her window and make friends with another shy character was just sweet.

The other characters were very good too, like LV's loud-mouthed mother played by Brenda Blethyn (sp.???, sorry, also my first time to see her in a movie), and then Jim Broadbent, which I've seen in some movies.

A delightful movie with some unpleasant realities woven in its warf and woof.
And I like it just as it is.
