Burton shouldn't have used an English accent to play the American George.

@dmax801 Wrong. The child is imaginary. They dreamed of having a baby but then later on they couldnt and used it to further degrade eachother.
-
Even Elizabeth Taylor's cackling in this scene is brilliant acting.
-
Not true that they couldn't have a baby. The child they argue about is the one that they gave up for adoption. (Albee was adopted)

@xvoy2002 that accually isn't the whole point of cinema..people do like watching realism as well.
-
So much for wisdom.

@RonAlmeida For starters, i can't believe anyone actually used the word "bourgeouis"... did you look that up in a dictionary? Second,, the whole point of movies IS to see 'unrealistic' crap. If i want to see every day, "real" life, i'd watch my neighbours.
The whole point of cinema is to see things that aren't real!!!!

@xvoy2002 You should have seen 'Love story' instead if you wanted bourgeouis sentimental unrealistic crap.

@perrypearl You also understand the futility and hipocracy behind the instituition itself.

A marvellous film! One of my top ten favourites! Bittersweet and poignant!
Only couples that have been together for a very long time can possibly begin to understand the dynamics here. Since marriages seem to last but a few years at best, noone will get to this point and that oddly enough is a valuable prize. I told you you'd only understand after YEARS and YEARS...

Richard Burton's eyes are really intense in this scene...for a second i thought he really was gonna shoot her...
spoiler:...I read somewhere that the 'fake' gun symbolizes Burton's impotence...they couldn't have a baby and the 'fake' gun symbolizes that...
