CONTACT Scene Ellie meets Haddon

[bustopratbag]

Thank you SO much for putting this up. My copy of Contact is getting old and this scene glitches and fails. I've seen the movie so many times, but I still wanted to see this before skipping over the messed up part of the DVD. Fantastic, one of the two best uses of the phrase "Clever girl" in a movie, ever ;)

The song that features this clip is Homeland and Hip Hop by Immortal Technique.

[jarhead565]

Whats the soundtrack for 6:30 to 6:40?? I need it for a sniper movie im making.

[Onatheme]

@jarhead565  I think you intended to ask: Does anyone know what the soundtrack is at 6.30 PLEASE. I'd be very grateful if anyone has the info, THANK YOU. Didn't you?

[jarhead565]

@Onatheme Yeah, sorry i kinda typed that in at like 3am. So essentially, i was tired at the time.

[nekovelo]

@jarhead565 its called "The Primer" on the official Contact OST

[miguelto64]

[BubbaBodecker]

Stephen Hawking is just scared of contacting aliens cause he can't run!

[rocketman544]

I've heard that Hadden is based on Carl Sagan himself. Anybody now if this is true?

[SteveWard3928]

Damn I love this movie. I was watching this and then it stopped. I forgot I was just watching a clip. Thanks for posting!!!

[TheCoolProfessor]

I heard Stephen Hawking say that if there is intelligent life out in space, we should not attempt to contact them.

[billy1212ist]

@TheCoolProfessor Yeah,like we might be called,"Intelligent life".Here in this vast universe,we spend our time making war on each other,killing each other,since we began.I don't think an advanced civilization would want to know us do you ?They come by often enough,and keep right on going.WE are the "Aliens" in the peaceful universe.

[MrConundrum2020]

elenor's all american... born/made in the USA, takes career-vacations in exotic locations of the globe (spanish speaking regions)

[MrConundrum2020]

born and made in the U S A. awesome. genius.

[billy1212ist]

@MrConundrum2020 -I really wish everybody would stop using the same word, "AWESOME",by constant use it loses it's awe.And makes the speaker appear to need a few more words that mean the same thing.Sounds dumb and juvenile.

[LTDANMAN44]

o maybe not out, but certainly being handed your hat. I love that line so much

[UberKrispy]

@TheMasterGouki Yeah If i had Jodi Foster on my private jet, I would have pointed the remote at the screen and put on some lesbian porn

[paramedicpat]

@UberKrispy LOL



[adult09]

wouldn't have all those geniuses thought to have looked at it in 3d?? that's a little unbelievable

[MrConundrum2020]

@adult09 what about all of the geniuses coming up with E = MC 2, yet only one einstein came up with it himself, as one genius (einstein wasn't the only genius then is the point).

[gracien2008]

I rather liked Contact for reasons that I dont know why ... is it least said that there is so much information that envolopes us all. Yet answers are hidden everywhere ...beyond our own senses. 

[therealhineja]

Someone went to Georgia Tech...

Mighty Dialogue - One of the 'coolest' scene in any movie!

I've had a long time to make enemies, Doctor. And many governments, business interests, even religious leaders that would like to see me depart this Earth. I'll grant them their wish soon enough. But before I do, I wish to make a small contribution. A final gesture of good will to the people of this little planet who have given—from whom I have taken—so much.

You found the PRIMER? (Grin) Hnnh. Clever Girl!

Lights!

[Onatheme]

@dreamzzinc11 Sorry to be pedantic: But if you're quoting it may as well be accurate :-)

I've had a long time to make enemies, Doctor. THERE are many governments, business interests, even religious leaders that would like to see me depart this Earth. I'll grant them their wish soon enough.

[dreamzzinc11]

@Onatheme Hi. Thanks, but, I am not quite sure if you are right either. Would you like to put the source in? I have listened to it numerous times, and now I doubt which one is right. I really donot hear 'THERE' in Hadden's line.

Will appreciate pointers. If I am wrong, then my apology is on standby.

[dijornopizza]

@Onatheme nit picker

[Onatheme]

@dreamzzinc11 LOL..we're both wrong!! Thanks though for your interest :-)

It's SO many governments...... Wikiquote..

[dreamzzinc11]

@Onatheme You're welcome. This is a special film for. It influenced me to studying space - that's what I do :)

lol. infact, initially I wrote 'SO' and then changed into 'AND'. Ambiguity.

There is another scene when Ellie runs to grab medicine for her dying father :) which is an illusion or rather a sophisticated technique.

[platinumare]

Here Here.

To me this scene always fascinated me , because Hadden knew her since birth , My friend had a theory that he was an uncle of hers because he had pictures and films of her as a little girl , an uncle who promised not to approach her at any time , but when he smiles and says you came to me , tells that he is a relative maybe

[Onatheme]

@CB750k5 Not exactly..

He says 'you came to my attention'. I don't think he's a long lost relative, but simply a brilliant manipulator and engineer. He's used his considerable influence and abilities to make things happen. Unlikey to come across anyone who will tell him what he doesn't want to hear--so he's easily able to find old cine camera clips, family history and anything else he wants to know about Ellie.

Now, if the question was 'is he her benefactor'...yes, possibly so. :-)

[CB750k5]

@Onatheme yes I agree to that , but like I said it was my friends theory LOL

[drunkdonutboy]

@CB750k5 I had a theory that he was really an alien.

[DarthZimmeris]

"They still want an American to go Doctor... want to take a ride? [grin]"

[Agundis1825]

What is appealing about this scene is that Haddon represents a level of power and wealth that has transcended every worldly concern. He looks omnipotent by being bemused by the worlds greatest problem. And while you can sense evil, he seems to have moved even beyond such pettiness and while still being a dangerous man, always generously helps Ellie as if he enjoys how she vicariously unsettles the mighty. To him she is his protege and he her patron in a quiet father/daughter might-have been.

[alphabeets]

This is one of the greatest scenes in movie history. Awesome!!!!!

[BigFatCode]

Thats a true epic scene!

[wownouser]

I LOVED this movie. I wish it could be downloaded in full...

[Onatheme]

@wownouser ...It can; If you look on Bit Torrent apparently.

[SteveWard3928]

@wownouser You can. Download bitcomet. google BTJunkie.org or Demonoid.ME. You have to register...but it is free. go to the torrent search area type in the movie you want. Self explanatory from there.

[wownouser]

@SteveWard3928

Thanks! I might do that :)

[kuryamtl]

Thank you for uploading the scene! And I love the soundtrack too!

[demmonsbt3]

engineer > scientist

[dforero5]

Thx for the scene, its great but this movie was directed by Robert Zemeckis.

[Onatheme]

@dforero5 I know, and I'm sorry for the mix up. I have no idea where I read it that she was the director! One of those brain mush moments! I'll correct it. :-)

[IzzyIsou]

Excellent scene! I wonder if Haddon's look was based on Arthur C. Clark.

[risehigher]

thank you! i love the scene

[silexent]

"...I wish to make a small contribution; a final gesture of goodwill toward the people of this little planet who have given - from whom I have taken - so much." Love that line.

[tommyt1971]

"Earl Grey, no sugar, no milk, I believe." Certainly does pay to do your homework!

[tommyt1971]

Always liked how he contacted her w/3 diff modes of comm: email, phone, fax.

[dangrbitch]

I love his character. the perfect evil genius.

[dangrbitch]

Hey can you post the part where he's in the space station talking to her about the other facility. That's one of my favs too

[Onatheme]

I'll see what I can do.:-)

[marcellojun]

Actually, the movie was directed by Robert Zemeckis.

John Hurt is perfect as S. R. Hadden, and Jodie Foster does indeed play Ellie Arroway like no one else could have.

This too is my favorite sequence. "A final gesture of goodwill to the people of this little planet that have given... from whom I have taken so much!"

Thanks for posting it.
