Falling in love - Scene - Telling the truth by lying

Nothing has really happened yet between Molly (Streep) and Frank (de Niro) when Molly meets her friend Isabelle. Isabelle senses something is going on and starts pushing Molly to tell.

The nice thing about this clip is Mollys dialogue in the end of the scene. She is trying to convince Isabelle that she and Frank are just friends, but is far to anxious to get it through and that desperation reveals, to her friend, to us in the audience, and finally also to Molly her self, how deeply involved she alreday is in Frank.

It is a very good example of how the words spoken tell the very opposite. You have heard it before: Show! Don't tell!

this is an amazing film. i get so into meryl and her characters she portrays, they feel so real.

although, i hate to admit, i laugh a bit in the scene in her bedroom where she is trying on all different outfits to go meet frank. 80s fashion, oh boy!

So dangerously real. Streep plays a flawless role in this film. Trying to tell the truth about truthful feelings is impeccably portrayed here.
