Only read the book the other day, it's kind of shit looking back at the video and all the words are exactly the same. it doesn't really fit with Leto's acting, he seems really unnatural.
in my opinion it's great they kept it very close to the book here - this dialogue is so strong it doesn't need any altering. yet I have to agree that Jared Leto isn't really convincing... but hey, it's hard to compete with Ellen Burstyn's absolutely amazing acting!
She incredibly reminds (physically, I mean) me of an old woman that I know, which sees herself only as a grandmother, with no other reason and right to live besides her grandchild.Though she's always very optimistic, I'm sure he's depressed somewhere deep inside.Ellen reminds me of her in this scene in a disturbing way...Excellent performance, I have to say.
When I watched this for the first time, I turned it off about half way through. I watched it a second time, and I couldn't take my eyes off of Ellen Burstyn. She was so wonderful; she should have won the Oscar. Absolutely incredible.
goddamn this fucking movie... it's absolutely amazing but i cant watch it more than like four times a year otherwise i become chronically depressed lol
I hugged my mom after watching this. Ellen in Requiem reminds me of my mom. She has no friends, she watches TV all day, she always seems so sad, and sometimes I think she'd be happier if she hadn't gotten married and had me...
mmm, rough one... i think that if you'd ask her, maybe she'd tell you that you're what she did best. ask her. it's some how relevant to know what your mother feels about you. :)
Omg, Jared's voice xDD when you're used to hear him screaming in 30stm, it's.. weird! and he's scary that thin! anyway, the movie looks awesome, I'm gonna buy it:D
"I'm somebody now, Harry. Everybody likes me. Soon, millions of people will see me and they'll all like me. I'll tell 'em about you, and your father, how good he was to us, remember? It's a reason to get up in the morning, it's a reason to loose weight, to fit in the red dress. It's a reasopn to smile. It makes tomorrow all right.
indeed, she should have won an academy award... and i don't get it why people likes jared leto in that scene (and movie), he's just not coping with burstyn's talent, i think. when he says "ma", i don't buy it, it's not credible. bouhou!
and the point is? i, as a person, still think he did not reach the quality of burstyn acting, may he, or not (for me), be good in that scene and movie.
Ellen Burstyn REALLY deserved that Oscar... Shame on the academy...

My favoriste moment is :
"I'm somebody now, Harry. Everybody likes me. Soon, millions of people will see me and they'll all like me. I'll tell 'em about you, and your father, how good he was to us, remember? It's a reason to get up in the morning, it's a reason to loose weight, to fit in the red dress. It's a reasopn to smile. It makes tomorrow all right.
(...)
Now when I get to sun, I smile.

Same here mate. It completely breaks my heart every single time.
I honestly can't believe she didn't get an oscar just for that scene alone.
