Scenes I Wish I Had Written
But for today I am stealing from NPR. “Scenes I wish I had written.”
I tell you when I heard this program on NPR the other morning, I immediately started thinking of what scenes I wish I had written. Of course, I wish I had written the touching scene where Vadar reveals himself to Luke as his father, while Luke is hanging on by one hand. But I think I would have changed it to make Luke think that he was a test tube baby and son Lando. I also wish I could have wrote the scene in My Girl where the little boy dies, but once again I would have changed the scene to have him live, and just end up maimed a little. Also the boy in me wishes I wrote the scene in Indaian Jones Temple of Doom, where the guy rips out the slaves heart. Of course! But I think if I were to have to pick one, (and I can not pick anything from the upcoming Dukes Of Hazard since I have not seen any of the scenes), I would have to pick the car chase scene in the Bourne Supremacy! For some reason I loved that scene more then I love eating at Del Taco! Having only been in a few crashes in my life, it just seemed really real.
OK, so if I were to pick a movie that did not involve blood, or crashing, I think I would have to pick from one of two movies. The first Legends of the Fall, the scene where Tristan’s wife gets shot and he walks over and picks her up. Very good. The other scene I wish I had written would be in A River Runs through it, and no I do not have a thing for Brad Pitt, he does have a nice arse, but that’s it! So anyway the very last scene where Norman is all grow up and is fishing by himself and Robert Redford (who’s house I threw up at once) is narrating the final message of the movie. A small tear always tries to work its way up during that part. Probably because Paul just died a few scenes earlier and the Reverend went crazy.
Of course I keep thinking of more and more scenes I wish I had written, like in Teen Wolf, where Michael J Fox is Surfing on the roof of his van. A pure theatrical master piece! See I better stop now or the list will keep growing and growing!
