The Truman Show (1998) Written by Andrew Niccol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_zYn-HHcyA Christof: (Whispering) Truman Truman turns to the sky. Christof: You can speak. I can hear you. Truman: Who are you? Christof: I am the creator... of a television show that gives hope and joy and inspiration to millions. Truman: And who am I? Christof: You are the star. Truman: Was nothing real? Christof: YOU were real. It's what made you so good to watch. Truman turns towards the exit. Christof: Listen to me Truman. There is no more truth out there than there is in the world I created for you. The same lies. The same deceit. But in my world you have nothing to fear. I know you better than you know yourself. Truman: You never had a camera in my head. Christof: You're afraid. That's why you can't leave. It's okay, Truman. I understand. I have been watching you your whole life. I was watching when you were born. I was watching when you took your first step. I watched you on your first day of school. (Laughs) The episode when you lost your first tooth. You can't leave, Truman. You belong here... with me. Talk to me. Say something. (Beat) Say something God Dammit. You're on television. You're live to the whole world! Truman: In case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening and good night. (laughs) Yeah! Truman takes a bow and walks into the unknown. Dialogue on dialogue: As farewells go, this one is extremely profound as Truman is leaving behind everything he has ever known and the promise of a carefree life to pursue real life for the very first time. And he does so with a tip of his hat and a smile on his face as a massive up-yours to his "creator".

Before Sunrise – “Goodbye, Au revoir, Later” Directed by Richard Linklater, Written by Richard Linklater and Kim Krizan [submitted by Gregory A. Netterville] URL: http://youtu.be/BGpLAxpXqYo INT. TRAIN STATION - DAY Jesse and Céline walk side by side. A LOUDSPEAKER makes an inaudible announcement. Jesse: Yeah. No problem. (Céline points at the coach. They stop.) Céline: I should get on this one. Jesse: Right here? You wanna get on there? All right. Céline: Yeah. Jesse: Um. (They hold hands.) Céline: Okay... I guess this is it, no? (Jesse starts breathing heavy, like after a workout or from anxiety.) Jesse: Yeah. Um, I really... (A couple of deep breaths.) Jesse: I, uh, I... I mean, you know -- Céline: Yeah, I know what you -- I, uh, I... Have a great life. Have fun with everything you're gonna do, y'know. Work hard. Jesse: All right, all right. Good luck with school and all that. Céline: Okay. Jesse: Wow, I hate this. Céline: Me too. The train is about to leave. (They kiss and hug. They stop, and from this point on their voices are rushed.) Jesse: Listen, listen.You know with all this bullshit we're talking about -- about not seeing each other again? I don't want to do that. Céline: I don't wanna do that either. Jesse: You don't either? Céline: I was waiting for you to say something. Jesse: Well, why didn't you say something? Céline: I was afraid maybe you didn't wanna see me. Jesse: All right, all right. Well listen, listen. What do you wanna do? Céline: Maybe... maybe we should meet in here in five years or something? Jesse: All right, all right. Five years... Five years? That's a long time. Céline: Yes, it's awful. It's like a sociological experiment... How about one year? Jesse: One year. All right, all right... One -- How about six months? Céline: Six months? Jesse: Yeah? Céline: It's gonna be freezing. Jesse: Yeah! (They start laughing.) Céline: Yeah! Jesse: Who cares? We come here, we go somewhere else. Céline: Okay. Okay. (Pause.) Céline: Uh, six months from now or last night? Jesse: Um, uh... Shit, uh, last night. Six months from last night which was uh... uh, June sixteenth. So, uh, track nine... six months from now at six o'clock at night. Céline: Dece -- December. Jesse: December, yeah. Now listen, it's a train ride for you. I gotta fly all the way over here and shit like that, all right. But I'm gonna be here. Céline: Okay. Me too. Jesse: All right. (Pause.) Céline: And we're not gonna call, write or...? Jesse: Nah, that's depressing. Céline: Yeah, okay. Jesse: All right. (They kiss.) Jesse: All right, your train's gonna leave. Say goodbye. Céline: Bye. Jesse: Goodbye. Céline: Au revoir. Jesse: Later. (They kiss again and then Jesse helps Céline onto the train.) -- SCENE -- Dialogue on Dialogue: Before Sunrise was released 21 years ago this month. Like so many others, I'm a fan of all of Linklater's films and am looking forward to Everybody Wants Some this April. The "Goodbye, Au Revoir, Later" Scene in Sunrise is purely romantic. All of the heavy stuff got moved aside earlier and now we're left to wonder if these two people will ever find each other again... * spoiler alert * They did! I just love their mannerisms and language (very sparse at the end) in this scene.

Another end of a movie and a second Peter Weir movie... Brontë: Oh. GEORGES: It's okay. Brontë: What? GEORGES: Monticello. I think I tried too hard. I blew it. Brontë Oh. Why didn't you tell me? GEORGES: It's all right. We made a deal. If I leave quickly then you keep your beautiful greenhouse. Brontë I don't care about the greenhouse. GORSKY: It's time to go, Mr Fauré. Brontë No, no! GEORGES: I write. GORSKY: Let's go! GEORGES: I write every day. GORSKY: Now, Mr Fauré. GEORGES: And the letters will always say the same thing: "When are you coming, chérie?" Brontë No! No! Brontë Do you still have them? GEORGES: Qui. - I do. Brontë So do I. MUSIC (continuing): Everything is gonna be all right Everything is gonna be all right Someday Sometimes hot And sometimes cold Sometimes I'm in Sometimes I'm out No, I haven't had much to eat Lord knows I haven't had much sleep you know Keep your eyes on the prize Don't be dismayed Don't be dismayed Deep in your heart You must believe Everything is gonna be all right Everything is gonna be all right Everything is gonna be all right Someday — Green Card (1990), written by Peter Weir https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAzTT_sw-hA Trivia: Writer-director Peter Weir wrote the film's original screenplay, reworked from an old short story, specifically for French star Gérard Depardieu, with no other actor ever considered for the lead male role. When typing the movie's script, Weir placed a photo of Depardieu from a newspaper above his typewriter. Dialogue on Dialogue: When I read the dialogue through, there are lots of part, which you can‘t understand, if you haven‘t seen the movie (the greenhouse, the Monticelli creme, or why Georges have to leave). Lots of planting cumulates here in this last scene of the movie. Georges fails at the immigration‘s office, because he couldn‘t remember the name of Brontë‘s face creme. I suppose most husbands couldn‘t remember, which face formula their wives are using. What I like the most at this scene is the twist for Brontë, for her this scene didn‘t start as a farewell. She finally realizes that she had fallen in love with Georges. Therefore their marriage is truthful. And then she has to realize, that he has to leave the country - because their marriage has been investigated as an unconsummated. The farewell is more ironic than bitter and ends full of hope: They two of them have finally found each other and they renew their vows. And the lyrics of the song emphasize this hope.
