Yesterday we saw the second episode with the scene in which Burton listened to the voicemail of his wife again and again, just to hear her voice again. It immediately reminded me of a similar scene in another movie/series. Does anyone know WHAT movie/series that would be? It just keeps haunting me, I MUST know to get some rest again!!
Thank you for brushing against my prick (Al Swearengen).
It was in "cold feet". Adam calls home to hear Rachels voice on the voicemail.
shareThere is also a similar scene in Breaking Bad with the Jesse Pinkman character.
shareThey also had a similar thing on Criminal Minds in the episode with Frankie Muniz of Malcolm in the Middle fame. His character kept calling voicemail to hear his deceased girlfriend's voice.
shareAnother one would be 21 grams.
shareWow, thanks! A great movie, but unfortunately I can't remember such a scene in 21 Grams, so I will have to watch it again - which will be no punishment! Turns out now that this idea is very popular among scriptwriters!
Thank you for brushing against my prick. Al Swearengen
Definitely a good choice! You'll probably won't forget it anymore once you see it again. It really is a very beautiful scene, especially because of the soundtrack from Santaolalla.
shareThere was a US made for TV movie
way back in 1983 called The Day After.
"A graphic, disturbing film about the effects of a
devastating nuclear holocaust on small-town
residents of eastern Kansas. (127 mins.)" (IMBD)
JoBeth Williams puts batteries she is saving
back into her answering machine so she can hear
her husband's last message to her over and over.
It was heartbreaking just as David Tennant's
part was.
Sean Penn does the same thing in the movie THE INTERPRETER as does the villain in the latest Marvel movie CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR.
In other words, over the last 10 or 15 years or so, this practice has become a bit of a cliche.
