Cotillard's Peak

The Weinstein Co. is pushing Marion Cotillard's Nine performance in the Best Actress category. She has the meatiest, hurting-est role among the Nine women -- i.e., the betrayed wife of Daniel Day Lewis's Guido. (She's also a lead because she sings two songs while all the other actresses sing one.) But nothing she does in Nine comes close to her acting in this scene from Public Enemies. I'm sorry but it's true.

But, then again, nothing she does in that scene in Public Enemies comes anywhere close to her acting in La Vie en Rose.

The ending scene in Public Enemies was cliched, melodramatic and downright predictable. I don't where your love for this scene comes from.

Perhaps from somewhere in which those facts are either irrelevant to or intrinsically part of what informs its power.

Looks like a homemade video - he needs to lose that Red Viper Camera - and stop doing these "historical" dramas (Mohicans/Insider/Ali/PE) - stick with the modern day criminal stuff like Thief, Manhunter, Heat - speaking of Heat, it's a travesty that Mann went back and re-edited the Blu-Ray that just came out and removed Al Pacino's "Ferocious, aren't I" line - yes, it's awkward, yes it makes no sense, yet to me it's part of the charm of that character - to randomly take it out 15 years later, just ridiculous.............

She's absolutely fantastic in NINE, and deserves a nomination.

When I saw this movie the entire theatre was in stitches during this scene, and whenever someone writes a bad line or edits something in an overly dramatic way, people say "make it a little less bye bye birdie" and everyone gets it, the same way my consultant made his points clear about a script of mine by removing the names of the characters and replacing them with soap opera stars. In other words, referencing this scene is seen by man as a very cruel insult.

I love Marion....I loved her in PE, and the studio is doing wrong if they don't push for best supporting actress. In every scene she was stellar and she and Depp had chemistry....something you don't see in too many movies.

I liked this scene better when I saw it in the theater (I have to admit that the editor lays the music on rather broadly at the end). But it's effect loses a lot outside of the context of the film. Seeing the film from beginning to end, it catches you off guard because Depp, Bale, and Crudup are gone from the picture at this point, and Lang suddenly has center stage.

he needs to lose that Red Viper Camera

The Red and the Viper are two different cameras from two different companies, and anyway PE was shot on Sony cameras
