Lovely & unconfundable characters and full of energy.
Positive shinging.
Gorgeous smile.
A personal life lived more in private than on the front page of the magazines.
They all were part of Brittany Murphy's signature.
You almost always knew what to expect from a movie she was in,and she never failed those expectations,especially if she had the right screentime - an hour and a half single view entertainment.And sometimes even more.
Although she starred in critically acclaimed A-list movies alongside all star casts or box office hits like Sin City,Clueless(next to Alicia Silverstone & Paul Rudd),Girl Interrupted(starring Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie),8 Mile(with Eminem & Kim Basinger),Don't Say A Word(in one of her most interesting roles next to Michael Douglas & Sean Bean) or Riding In Cars With Boys(with Drew Barrymore) - i liked her a lot more in those indies,low buget romantic comedies where she was the lead.
I selected some of my favourite scenes with her from various(some rare) movies :
Drive - with Marc Dacascos & Kadeem Hardison(her character delivers the greatest laughs in this action-packed,'Crank' style adrenaline bomb)
The Ramen Girl - with Sohee Park (including the funny dance)
Phoenix - next to Ray Liotta (their cool chemistry and short screentime they share represent basically the only feelgood moments(an extremely hot too) of a very dark and violent but brilliant cop crime)
Love and Other Disasters - with Matthew Rhys & Santiago Cabrera (from the list of the relationship based romantic comedies/dramas where she was the leading lady like Little Black Book,Just Married,Sidewalks Of New York or Uptown Girls i liked her the most in this flick focusing on the young american woman living in London and her circle of friends & the comic situations she experiences)
The Groomsmen - with Edward Burns.
She was one of those actors you didn't need to know personally to actually know her - she was basically almost the same in every film,giving something special from her real character to every role.
Rest in peace,sunshine...
The background song i used is a live in concert version of 'Beautiful Day' by U2.
The lyrics:
The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace
It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day
