A poignant heart-to-heart between characters is the stuff of some of the best moments in movie history. In fact, great movies have been made out of nothing but talking. Who could forget Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy’s magical night in Before Sunrise? Or Matt Damon’s sessions with Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting? Or when they walk and talk in Walking and Talking?
So it’s even more impressive when a stunning scene contains no words at all. It’s really hard to convey meaning with nothing more than scenery, lighting, camera work and bodies, but it’s also kind of the point of filmmaking. If they were gonna rely on words, they should go write a book.
