There Will Be Spoilers.
I think this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDK9MDklzFoIs the greatest performance from the greatest actor in the greatest scene from the greatest movie of ALL TIME. Don’t say it isn’t, because it is.
I think Danny Boyle does some amazing set pieces too. The scene in
28 Days Later where Cillian Murphy wakes up from his coma to discover an abandoned London is fucking brilliantly realised. The opening scene of
Trainspotting too, the “choose life” monologue to the sound of Iggy Pop’s
Lust For Life is delish. But best of all is Capa’s sacrifice in the incredible
Sunshine. It lights me up. Incredible score too, from Underworld and John Murphy. Forward to 3:46 mins for the scene:
