Barbara Hershey working real hard to keep up with him. Doing a great job but you can see his incredible strength and the corners it backs her (and her character) into. He jumps through every stage of grieving in this short little scene. Love it.
" If Jesus came back ,and saw what was being done in His name, He'd never stop throwing up" One of the best lines ever!! This brilliant acting force of nature will be missed
Frederick is one of my all-time favorite film characters. I think because I view the world the same way he does. I love the way in another scene he refuses to "Sell my art by the yard". A true artist that would rather his art be understood and appreciated for the right reasons rather than for the money.
Me and my ex husband used to recite this bit over and over ! I would always say to him "lighten up , Frederick!" RIP Max

0:53: "It's been ages since I sat in front of the TV, just changing channels to find something. You see the whole culture: Nazis, deodorant salesmen, wrestlers, beauty contests, the talk show. Can you imagine the level of a mind that watches wrestling? But the worst are the fundamentalist preachers. Third-rate conmen telling the poor suckers that watch them that they speak for Jesus. And to please send in money, money, money. If Jesus came back and saw what's going on in his name, he'd never stop throwing up".
I remember reading that Von Sydow and Hershey had worked this scene out at a much slower pace. Allen's one direction to them was to speed it up. They were both excellent in the film, and she was never better. One of her best performances (along with the neglected wife in Barry Levinson's Tin Men).
Utter genius - this scene and the whole film, filled with brilliant acting, direction and dialogue: "If Jesus came back and saw what's going on in his name he'd never stop throwing up" is an incredible line. Hilarious and dramatic at the same time - Woody Allen reaches these heights often, but never as consistently in one film as this. Definitely his magnum opus.
This scene reminds me of a play. One long shot. I read somewhere years ago that after that scene ends the crew all clapped for them bc it was so well done.
EXTERIOR: NABOO LAKE RETREAT, WATER SPEEDER, LANDING PLATFORM - LATE AFTERNOON We briefly hold on a lovely terrace as ANAKIN, wearing his Jedi robe, appears nearby. He looks out across the garden and the film cuts to his point of view: the shimmering lake and the mountains rising beyond. The movie goes back to the impatient Anakin; he's looking around him. He glances at the terrace as the film cuts back once again to the lake, where Padme finally appears, walking down the street away from Anakin. A waterspeeder passes. Padme doesn't see him. She walks further and further away; she disappears behind a hill. Anakin frantically looks around again; then, in a burst of decision, he runs down the staircase, crossing the garden, and still running, he races across the field, as the film cuts back to Padme, walking down towards a different lake, oblivious. Cantina jazz plays on as the movie cuts back and forth between the fast-moving Anakin, rushing down the Naboo landscape, past a dewback, past a tour guide leading a group of Jawas, - and the strolling Padme, lost in her delicate reveries. Padme eventually reaches a balustrade, still lost in thought, glancing right and left, as Anakin, pretending nonchalance, waits on the corner, fiddling with his lightsaber. She looks up in surprise; the music stops. ANAKIN (trying not to sound out of breath) Oh, my goodness! PADME (overlapping, smiling in surprise) Oh, Ani! ANAKIN Hi. PADME (smiling) What are you doing here? ANAKIN (looking around, gesturing) Well, I'm-I'm looking for some power converters.
PADME (overlapping, pointing) Uh, yeah, a replica of the Tosche Station. A couple of blocks from here. If you don't know about it, you should. You'd really love it. ANAKIN Yes? PADME (nodding) Yeah, you would. ANAKIN (looking around for a moment, then gesturing to PADME) Well, i-if-if you have some free time... PADME (nodding) Yeah, sure. (chuckling) ANAKIN Thank you. They begin to walk again as the movie cuts to the interior of the Tosche Station, a serious replica of the Tatooine original. The main building houses recharge facilities, a sales office, and a game room. A nude print hangs at the end of the reactor area, which holds a fusion generator from an in-system space barge. An unseen ANAKIN and PADME carry on a conversation as the camera moves down an aisle, past a large model of a moisture farm. A piano playing the cantina theme is heard. PADME (offscreen) Isn't this great? (chuckling) They have everything here. ANAKIN (offscreen, distracted) Yes, it's-it's wonderful. PADME (offscreen) What power converter did you want to buy? ANAKIN Anything compatible with a T-14 hyperdrive generator. PADMÉ There was a very old man who lived on this island. He used to make glass out of sand - and vases and necklaces out of the glass. They were magical. ANAKIN (looks into her eyes) Everything here is magical. PADME (offscreen) Your T-14? ANAKIN Huh? PADME You wanted to buy a T-14? The camera moves past another aisle to reveal PADME, browsing through a shelf of power converters. ANAKIN (offscreen) Oh, a T-14? Oh, no, I... (laughing) I'm killing time. I...I-I just, uh, w-want to browse, uh... PADME (looking up at a row of dehumifiers) Well, you sure picked the right place. I mean, you can stay here all afternoon, not buy anything and just look. She walks down a center aisle, the camera still in its parallel aisle, following her. ANAKIN (offscreen) Unless, of course, if-if you had some time, I mean, we could get some Yatooni Boska. PADME Didn’t I just say I was in AA? ANAKIN No, no - just because the dewback sweat is fermented doesn’t mean it’s alcoholic! PADME Well, maybe not - but it sure is disgusting. ANAKIN Depends. Better than drinking sand. PADME gives him a quizzical look. She stops at the row where ANAKIN has been browsing. She is hidden by a shelf; only ANAKIN is seen as he talks to the offscreen PADME. ANAKIN (gesturing) I’m sorry. I-I-I understand completely. No problem. Y-you're probably lactose intolerant. I-I-I… I can - I built a droid module that removes gluten! It turns it into a kind of cheese. - I - I - I’m sorry, that sounds gross. It isn’t that bad, it’s sorta like Tatooni Junko - oh, I’m sorry, now I sound like a Hutt; I’m... PADME (offscreen, chuckling) You seem tense. Is everything all right? You feel okay? ANAKIN (overlapping) No! No... PADME (offscreen) No? ANAKIN (gesturing, looking at holograms) Uh, yes! PADME (offscreen) You could look into those vases and see the water. The way it ripples and moves. It looked so real... but it wasn't. ANAKIN Sometimes, when you believe something to be real, it becomes real. They look into each other's eyes. The tension mounts. PADME smiles and walks down the center aisle, in the same direction she had come. Anakin continues to talk to her as she remains offscreen in a nearby row. ANAKIN (offscreen momentarily, hidden by a shelf as he talks) Sometimes.
The lake outside the station. PADME, holding the hologram in a plastic bag, and ANAKIN are walking out. PADME (laughing, holding up the bag) Pretty soon, these are gonna be illegal! ANAKIN Cuomo’s such a douche. PADME Right? ANAKIN (pointing to the station) Thanks for showing me the T-14s. Perhaps you could, uh, take me to an AA meeting sometime. Uh...uh, I'd love to see what goes on. PADME (nodding) Well, yeah, yeah. You'd love it. It's really entertaining. You'd have a good time. (stepping closer to the lake and hailing a waterspeeder) I know you would. ANAKIN (pointing to the hologram) And, uh, d-don't forget the chapter on point a hundred and twelve. It reminded me of you. A waterspeeder pulls over to the dock; they walk over to it. PADME (laughing) Really? Well... ANAKIN opens the sliding door for PADME. She laughs as she gets in. ANAKIN (leaning down to talk to PADME in the speeder) Point a hundred and twelve. PADME Bye. ANAKIN kisses PADMÉ. She doesn't resist. She comes to her senses and pulls away. PADMÉ No, I shouldn't have done that. ANAKIN My bad. When I'm around you, my mind is no longer my own. PADME Yeah. Well… See ya. ANAKIN (closing the sliding door for PADME) Bye. He watches the waterspeeder race away. CUT TO: INT. PADME’S LOFT BEDROOM - NIGHT PADME, in slacks and shirt, is curled up on the bed, her back to the camera, as she watches the blue glow of the hologram. The cantina music is still softly heard. PADME (V.O.) (reading to herself) "I dislike sand I dislike its coarse nature I dislike its rough campaign I dislike its toxic irritation I dislike its quasi-bro culture I dislike the telltale red caps… As PADME continues to read aloud, the movie cuts to ANAKIN's darkened den, lit by a light in the hallway.

The camera stays on his face as he looks off into the distance, mouthing indistinctly the line of poetry PADME next reads from the hologram. PADME (V.O.)

I’m in love with a man named Dave he is from Toronto . He pops by my store a lot . There is this feeling I have when I see him and we talk . Time stands still anything or any anxiety falls away … I don’t know what to do … this is my favourite movie of all time .
So they did a breakdown of that one very line from this movie...And the polar opposites of those that watch wrestling, and those that create wrestling. Explaining the psychology that goes behind a display such as pro wrestling. Which in some circles can seem “lowbrow“ (at least from an audience standpoint). Yet it is all orchestrated by brilliant minds in order to captivate an audience and psychologically tell a story. ... basically keep them watching no different than a soap opera
@@TiltBrook I've been creating TV programming for 3+ decades. The minds that create the tripe are generally quite clever. If only they could use that evil for good ;-)
The Barbara Hershey character, Lee, is the beautiful middle sister with potential but no direction. So I buy that she'd be under the spell of some brilliant, stern-fatherly older man who explains everything and imposes order on her life. Frederick thinks she's leaving him for a younger man, and she's actually dumping him for another fiftysomething father figure (played by Michael Caine), and that's an even more problematic relationship. But I'll stop there. Good film, one of WA's best.
It was a different time and a different place, with different values. I lived I'm Manhattan back then and young, intelligent, attractive women were often drawn to older, erudite men. The "coin of the realm" (so to speak) back then was an educated intelligence. Later, after everything became Yuppified, I moved to a Sunbelt "Edge City" where the Coin of the Realm is chiefly wealth and social status.
@@simonboccanegra3811 Love this film but I always wondered if Lee was the middle sister or the youngest. To me, Diane Weist as Holly was classic middle sister.
"Can you imagine the level of a mind that watches wrestling" has always been one of my personal favorite lines.
Barbara Hershey working real hard to keep up with him. Doing a great job but you can see his incredible strength and the corners it backs her (and her character) into. He jumps through every stage of grieving in this short little scene. Love it.
Farewell, Max von Sydow...
" If Jesus came back ,and saw what was being done in His name, He'd never stop throwing up"
One of the best lines ever!! This brilliant acting force of nature will be missed
Quite an ironic line considering the fact that Von Sydow played Jesus at one time (Stevens', "The Greatest Story Ever Told").
@@darryljorden9177 yes! He was fabulous as Jesus!!
@@darryljorden9177 And Barbara played Mary Magdalene
MERRIN !!!!
Frederick is one of my all-time favorite film characters. I think because I view the world the same way he does. I love the way in another scene he refuses to "Sell my art by the yard". A true artist that would rather his art be understood and appreciated for the right reasons rather than for the money.
This movie is brilliant after all these years. I play this all the time with my 5 hr drive to San Diego.
one of my favorite woody allen scenes...i'm grateful for the few people who watched this and get it :-)
