"FRANKLY, MY DEAR, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN" is #1 for AFI'S list of 100 Greatest Movie Quotes of All-Time. I think its fitting and so timeless...I can imagine somebody saying this 100 years from now too :-)
Rhett Butler's reply to Scarlet O'Hara is surely one for the books but I still vote for: Of all the gin joints in all the world, she walks into mine". Give me Casablanca anytime my deah.
Oh yeah, that greatest signature line of Robert Taylor!...with Humphrey Bogart's line in Casablanca..."He's Looking At You" whenever he was making a toast with Ingrid Bergman...like wise with Frank Sinatra's quote, but not in a movie..." Basically, i'm for anything that gets through the night, be it a prayer, tranquilizer, or a bottle of Jack Daniel"....loved those 'ole classic quote or lines...timeless indeed...nice post Cat
I'm just a little intrigue about your note Cat. What did you mean when you said that it is "fitting and timeless?" Fitting as what for what? And why timeless? Is there a personal resonance to you in that oft repeated quote?
In today's milieu, this particular Rhett Butler one-liner could be construed as the ultimate male chauvinistic remark. It may have sounded very macho in those days, romantic even. But today?
I'd like to take that quote out of that particular scene...it can still be said to another person, and it doesn't have to be a guy saying it....*grin*
fitting - because, well if I go back to that scene...e maawa ka naman kay Rhett ..ginulo ni Scarlett..*btw, I wasn't able to read GwTW in full, but I was able to read the sequel, of course, penned by another author*
timeless - because as I said, I could imagine this being said 100 years from now *assuming of course, English pa rin ang predominant language*
personal resonance - well, not really...unless I say it to a pesky customer *only in my head hehehehe*
Then go and see it na! There's a scene there that I truly truly like - when Rick and Ilsa finally get to talk in private and Ilsa had to tell Rick that she can't say good bye to him again, she turns her head as she catches her cry. The camera carresses the face of Ingrid Bergman and follows the curve of her neck as she turns. That's cinema for me!
Cat, I wanted you to read a previous posting of mine. I don't know how to link it to my reply so I just reposted it. The title is "We'll Always have Paris or What the World Owes Casablanca"
Dito galing yan - http://youtube.com/watch?v=BffCNt_3r2o from the Pinoy movie "Tatlong Baraha," starring Mark Lapid. (The comments are also very funny.)
Here's another movie shot in the Philippines: Quote: "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." Movie is based on Joseph Conrad's book "Heart of Darkness" about a river voyage towards the deep African jungle. But of course, the film is about Vietnam. ?
You're right. Our film criticism teacher left the class in the middle of the semester in 1976 to be part of Francis Cord Coppola's unit to shoot the film in the Phil.
touche...four letter words these days seem to abound..so "damn" is just a bit commonplace...
now if this movie was to be remade and the setting changed to the 21st century...Rhett would probably have said "Frankly b***h, I don't give a flying f***k!"....
that I didn't know...and I was somewhat taken aback...voyage towards an African Jungle but film about Vietnam, and the movie was filmed in the Philippines....hmmm

ReplyDeleteScarlett: I only know that I love you.
Rhett Butler: That's your misfortune.
Frankly my Dear its Gone with the whiner
ReplyDeleteGone with the reklamador..
ReplyDeleteEh yong: "Oo saging lang kami! Pero saging lang ang may puso! Saging lang ang may puso!"?
ReplyDeleteHuh? saan galing ito?
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is a great quote, but doesn't have the same impact today as in 1939.

ReplyDeleteeh?
ReplyDeletethat sort of reminds of of another Pinoy joke scene..wherein puso ang sinabi pero yung artesian well (tama ba?) pala ang tinutukoy...
ReplyDeletetouche...four letter words these days seem to abound..so "damn" is just a bit commonplace...
ReplyDeletenow if this movie was to be remade and the setting changed to the 21st century...Rhett would probably have said "Frankly b***h, I don't give a flying f***k!"....

Pinoy humor is at its best...I love those spoofs on tshirts...
ReplyDeleteam so shallow..I guffawed with "DIEt another day" eons ago...
