the reason it didn't take all of the oscars in 1994 was that it wasn't really a big hit until a few years later when it got better publicised. it's the best film iv'e seen in my life so far and this is probably one of the best scenes.

By: iodboi. on 02 Oct 08, 20:42:10
I only wish it had run for some more time during 94 and people had seen more of it. It would have dumped Gump in the Forrest and beat fiction to Pulp :-) The best movie to have not won an Oscar. This scene reminds me to look at senior citizens in a more accommodating way. Brooks reminds me of my granny with her kind wrinkled face whom I could not meet before she left this world...Love you granny..Sorry I couldn't make it to your funeral either.

By: iodboi. on 02 Oct 08, 20:34:52
This is the best movie, ever! Great scene, great acting, great direction. This scene wasnt even half as dramatic in the novel as it is in here. "Brooks was here" just seals it. Whitmore is amazing with the look in his eyes as he clutches the railing in the bus. Darabont, Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman, James Whitmore will be remembered for this movie. It has the theme of hope. It has the theme of guy friendship (guy friendship minus the guns, booze and babe-chasing which is very rare in movies).

Watched Shawshank again few days ago, simply beautiful movie and this is one of my favorite scene. I just love Red's monologue and Andy's thoughts about music. Couldn't agree more, 'cos music is something everyone can connect too especially to a beautiful piece like this. "I like to think they were singing about something so beautiful that it can't be expressed with words, and makes your heart ache because of it" ...

By: slappy6817. on 17 Nov 08, 05:32:16
I agree. His performance was definitely over the top. Its hard to imagine any government official speaking to the President in such a way. Perhaps someone like Christopher Plummer would have done a better job preparing for and playing the role. Helms certainly sounds like a man of great ability. Its a shame that most people know very little about a man who contributed much to this country. I will have to make it a point to read his autobiography. Thanks for your insight, Dante.

By: DantesDump. on 17 Nov 08, 05:02:05
I'll say no, for two reasons. One, Waterston is a known bleeding-heart liberal. He won't have taken the time to plough through Helm's autobiography, let alone study the man in a more detailed way. He probably just decided "I'll play this fucker like he's Satan". Two, he doesn't look, sound or act like Helms. Not even close. Helms was never so snide, pompous or disrespectful. He always was courteous and spoke in a calm, measured way.

By: RussianSundays. on 12 Nov 08, 14:19:46
Good scene, very well acted and edited. I do think though that probably the reason why it was left out is because the creepy music and the escalating threat in Helms(e.g. the poem) makes the scene very sensationalist and slightly over the top.

By: zodyce. on 07 Oct 08, 20:58:30
The more I watch it, the more I find this scene fascinating. It is so unbelievably well written. Stone is a genius of dialogue ("Wall Street" is a masterpiece in dialogue) but this scene is one of the best he's ever written. It's a crime he left it out of the movie.

Dantes I read a ...
By: translationwiz. on 30 Sep 08, 03:26:44
Dantes I read a little about Helms also, he was referred to as "The Man Who Kept The Secrets." And was convicted of a misdemeanor in the process or after refusing to devulge certain info to the house. HE was received by colleagues w/a bowl of money to pay the fine at a loud gathering in D.C. But on the other hand ex CIA's have also said that the spying never made a difference in the Cold war. That in the end it was the money game that exhausted the commies.whats your take?

By: MCKRUSH. on 19 Sep 08, 08:17:02
I agree. This scene is great, and why Stone cut it in favor of that maudlin "Nixon meets the flower children" scene boggles the mind. "I OWN THE FUCKING CASINO" Word.

This scene is a bit ...
By: zodyce. on 14 Sep 08, 01:52:04
This scene is a bit long but it should have been left in the movie (at least a part of it should have been included) because it is very well written and the acting is great. I don't know if it adds anything to "Nixon" but it sure doesn't distract from the main plot. I don't understand why Stone didn't include it. He must have had his reasons, maybe he thought he was going too far or making it too obvious for us. Or maybe he thought the film was too long already. I don't know.

I thought so Dantes. I read a little about him and couldn't help but feel impressed with his qualifications. Though I think one can legitamately be against some of what he did, ie help engineer the coup in Chile. How do you think Stone got the idea to picture Helms as an evil incarnate, as we see in this scene with the completely black, souless eyes??

Oh... and he would ...
By: DantesDump. on 16 Jul 08, 14:22:00
Oh... and he would have bit his own tongue off before he referred to the President by his first name. Let alone blackmail him in such a direct, blatant manner. That was classic Oliver Stone propaganda bullshit.

He was like most of ...
By: DantesDump. on 16 Jul 08, 14:19:49
He was like most of the men of his generation. Hard as nails, but intently focussed upon his duty. For him, defeating the Soviet Union was imperative if the world was to finally escape the looming peril of nuclear annihilation. Now, naturally, all of his work is being pissed away by weaklings and fools who think that stopping Iran before they acquire ICBM capacity would be a war crime. Well, millions of dead Jews and a few hits on New York and DC later and they'll see their foolishness.

I think that approximately 99.9% of you do not have the vaguest conception of who Richard Helms was or the work he undertook to secure for apathetic, ungrateful liberal Americans the right to go on being apathetic, ungrateful and liberal.

This is Stone's best film. The writing is exceptional. When it comes to casting his films, Stone makes inspired choices and the actors give inspired performances. I've never seen Sam Waterston in a better role. Unfortunately, it was made at the wrong time. People, at that point, were tired of Nixon and Watergate, but this was so much more. Too bad it flopped at the box office. But I'm glad it got made.

By: CrunkChipmunk. on 07 May 08, 16:39:03
Helms was a sociopath plain and simple. Thats why he was such an unfeeling murderous scumbag that guarded his tracks so well. The significance of showing his black eyes in this scene was to convey the darkness and evil inside his soul and that of the monsterous machine of leadership that has arisen in America. Also what might be interesting for people to know is Richard Helm's eyes really were that black in real life. Watch any interview of him on youtube and you'll see.
