The greatest 60 seconds of acting ever? (SPOILERS)
...when he's told he's got the job, and he tears up in the office til he goes nuts in the street. It's the most emotional piece of acting I've seen for ages.
But is it, as the subject line says, "The greatest 60 seconds of acting ever?"
There are some more famous, more memorable 60 seconds from some legendary actors.
- "I coulda been a contender..." Al Pacino, Raging Bull
- "'Do I feel lucky?' Well, DO you, punk?" Clint Eastwood, Dirty Harry
- "Take it off. Take it off." Brad Davis, Midnight Express
- "As God is my witness, I'll never go hungry again!" Vivien Leigh, Gone with the Wind
BUT are they great examples of ACTING, or are they just SHOUTING and GESTURING wildly? Something any of us could do.
I invite you to submit your favourite 60 seconds of acting.
THE RULES
- It must be a SHORT SCENE (around 60 seconds or less)
- The excellent acting must come from ONE ACTOR, not an ensemble. If there are many excellent examples of acting in one scene, choose only one actor you feel performed the best.
- It is the ACTING that we're assessing, not the popularity of the scene.
Let's give it a go then.
