Adaptation - the accident

[tabaripalmer]

I was in this movie i love it

[tabaripalmer]

I love it! I was in this movie, glad it was not that scene ouch! Nicholas Cage was a really nice guy and so was Spike Jones the Director, fantastic! This is a great movie, see more of me! "click my name" I love you all!

[Khasery]

I love the use of car crashes as deaths in the movie.

They're extremely violent and profusely tragic.

And it's nobody's fault.

Brilliance.

[blsny213]

very realistic

[ishotu747]

I have yet to see this film but was the driver in the other car drunk or not paying attention?

[akpret]

if you pause it, looks like the guy is being decapitated or some blood is squirting out of his neck hole.

[natedaug1]

This scene was so sad. You learn why Chris Cooper's character is the way he is.

[jmenrico]

@natedaug1 I felt so bad for Chris Cooper's character after I saw this scene.

[skinwalkerxxx]

ah ha ha ha awsome scene

[staphinfection]

Yeah, where's the rest of this scene!???

Chris Cooper was a shoe in for oscar that year.

[upontheruth]

Call it black humour but I found it funny when I watched it! One minute small talk the next minute chaos! Not funny I know but it was just fiction.

[hungh0rse]

@upontheruth

it may seem funny to you, but this is as fucked up as real life is. the one moment you chat and giggle, the other moment you're crushed as ice. not fiction, reality.

[xRWTYx]

best car crash scene ive ever seen.

[FunkhouserMemorial]

Freeze at 0:24, crash dummies in backseat. LOL!

[cheeseguyxx123]

dont get me wrong i saw it in a behind the scenes exposed

i liked the film so much i had to look further into the behind the scenes

i just came across it by accident

[1overthetitan]

out of all car crash scenes in any film this one has to be the best, it literally hurt me watching that, especially that sound .

[BigEdDunkel]

I agree. That is the most shocking scene I've sen this year.

[kazuo62]

I agree. The crash in No Country for Old Men was also well made. In both cases, the crash happens very suddenly, without warning, without any building drama or overt foreshadowing, just as many horrible car wrecks happen in the world. These movie crashes capture that truth extremely well.

[ZenBarracuda]

Brilliant writer, brilliant director, and the Oscar rightfully went to Chris Cooper.

[cheeseguyxx123]

RIGHT GREAT FILM BUT

WELL look for yourself

as the car crashes pause it really quickly, u notice that the man and lady are at that point dummys, as the collision continues you can see a spring come off one of there heads

AMAZING is it not

but still a great film

[thaATLien]

No man, it's filmed with the people in the car. The car is not actually hit by the truck. They film a collision seperately and have a different scence where the car is shaken with the impact like if it had been hit. Then it's put together. That's been on tv before.

[cubesearch]

Yeah, good work cheeseguy.

Because that's how we all watch films: sitting there waiting to 'pause it really quickly' and look for flaws.

What a loser. This scene and the whole of 'Adaptation' are incredible.

[cheeseguyxx123]

dont get me wrong i saw it in a behind the scenes exposed on my dvd extra, i liked the film so much i had to look further into the behind the scenes

i just came across that fact by meer accident

[Jason310M]

One of my favorite films, ever.

[spencerdeanbitch]

SHaking scene. Shaking film.

[j0nsnewscreeName]

I was 16 I think when I first saw this, and it scared the shit out of me, seeing how unexpected it was

[plastictank]

after being in a car accident and knowing how in a split instant everything can change like that, I found this scene to be extremely powerful. They captured it amazingly well...

[artmania1990]

you excluded the brilliant acting by cris when he asks who's dead while being wheeled away on a stretcher!

[timulair]

nice carcrash!

gotta love how that grandma got shmacked in the side..

[TheOpiumDistrict]

That scene shook me. One of the more realistic scenes I've seen.

[iamlameduck]

After seeing so many bad car chase scenes, it's refreshing to see a director effectively evoke a reaction from a car crash. Kinda like Steven Seagal action movies compared to the fight scene from "Eastern Promises" or the violence in "Pulp Fiction."

[TheOpiumDistrict]

Agreed. If something like that happens in a film, you should feel something.

[bitrille]

like me, i remember this scène..I was shocked too. really weird but GREAT film.
