This is honestly my favorite De Niro performance. He was so honest and forthcoming. You really believed in the craziness of his character and him as a superstitious father. I saw a ton of parallels between him and myself when it comes to myself or people I know. He really nailed it.
Exactly after a decade this is still hands down the hail Mary play where she's just clenches the Oscar from anyone else that was in the running that year❤🎉😂😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
It was funny, love this scene! The sound of the bottle cap hitting the floor was pretty obviously added in post production by the foley artist. It kind of works, but was a little over the top- Tiffany was being assertive, real, and bold here, but wouldn't have been disrespectful.
De Niro's response was a two-fold answer: impressed with her knowledge and impressed with her acting skills. I have not seen her around these days. She was fantastic in this. This scene itself won her a much deserved Oscar and the direction was impeccable. Felt like we were in it!!
When Tiffany says "if it's me reading the signs" you see Pat's facial expression change as his hands shift to his pockets in remembrance of the letter.
Actually, I don't think he made the connection when she said it that time, but shortly after this, after Pat Sr. makes the parlay bet, Pat says he's not going through with the dance competition. He and Tiffany are yelling at each other and she says a couple more times "If it's me reading the signs," then he storms out onto the front porch alone. THAT'S the moment when the phrase hits him, and he re-reads the letter and makes the connection that it was actually written by Tiffany.
@@electraking8856 You all apparently dont realize that a script is what dictates the outcome of the scene.... Her character being right and Robert De Niro's character being wrong in a movie doesn't mean she "took on" Robert De Niro and won so therefore she is great. If her acting were horrible, the outcome would have been the same....Her character right, De Niro's character wrong. You people need mental help.
Absolutely magnificent performance. The ability to steal a scene loaded with phenomenal talent is impressive. But we should recognize the screenwriter as well. This films dialog is so intelligent, interesting & intense that it has a spot near the top of a very selective list.
Philly fan here to fact check this amazing performance... Starting at 0:56 - Oct. 12th, 2008: Eagles over 49ers: 40-26✅ - Oct. 13th, 2008: Phillies over Dodgers: 7-5✅ - Oct. 26th, 2008: Eagles over Falcons: 27-14✅ - Oct 26th, 2008: Phillies over Rays: 10-2✅ De Niro says "Have to think about that, wait a minute." But this is the kicker (no football pun intended)... The next game is a lie. The Philadelphia Eagles have NEVER beaten the Seattle Seahawks 14-7...EVER! In fact, Seattle Seahawks (currently as of May 2021) lead series 12-7-0 Points Scored: Seattle Seahawks 404, Philadelphia Eagles 331 Making an average points per-game: Seahawks 21 to an Eagles 17. This right here shows the magnitude of Tiffany's character and charisma. She had four proven moments to build her case. What she needed was Pat's dad to second guess himself and once he did, BOOM, the lie. Bravo! Game, set, and match.
What I love about this scene is the subtext that when Pat told her earlier his father thought she was messing up the Eagles juju, it bothered her enough to do research on it. That's great writing. Show not tell.
Awesome, also shows how much she loved him by that point, like she was expecting the moment she'd meet his parents and the possibility of this going down
I always refer back to this scene because of the editing. Sometimes you have shots that don’t coincide with the dialogue or vice versa but with great performances and smart editing, the audience won’t notice these types of mistakes (36 seconds in). Especially at the very end with the beer. You never see the beer at any moment in the scene. With great sound effects you establish the beer in her hands without having an establishing shot of it. Great job.
@N9neL7ves cinematography in this scene isn’t in question. I’m more talking about the editing and how even inconsistent shots can coincide together to form a great scene that isn’t distracting. It doesn’t take away in my opinion.
@N9neL7ves yeah I’m the same way when it comes to the technical side. “Bad Cinematography” wouldn’t be the appropriate thing to criticize. Choosing the different edits of cuts has nothing to do with how they shot the movie. Some shots work better emotionally than with other cuts. That’s how filmmaking works. Piecing it together and trying best to align them is the name of the game in terms of the editing process. It’s not that it isn’t distracting or is distracting, the editing stays emotionally intact because of their choices of when to move from one thing to another. You’re telling a story through the edit. And at times, like this one, you can hide and reveal many things through it.
If a woman made a speech like this to me, except about the Giants and the Yankees, I'd ask her to marry me right then and there. And knowing state nicknames? That's catnip to me.
I do love this scene, along with the final dance -- SUCH a good movie! Then again I am a bit of a 'hopeless romantic', so in that respect it's extremely difficult not to love this film.
@@IamtheLunchladyNot everyone from Philadelphia has a Philadelphia accent. If you grew up in the northeast or the northwest, either near Bucks County or Montgomery County and Bala Cynwyd, Chestnut Hill, or Manayunk, you probably don't have a noticeable Philadelphia accent.
@44excalibur yeah true but I can always spot even a mild NJ/PA accent bc im from NJ. It's very subtle but almost everyone has it and since i moved out west and came home to visit i really noticed it when i came back to visit the east coast
Did anyone else notice at 0:35, you can hear that Pat is talking to his dad but when you see the side of his face in the shot, he's not speaking. Lol nice editing
I want to know who the heck took my life story and sent it to hollywood and made it into a movie? and why wasnt i paid money for this? this is my exact story. I have bi polar , my wifes name is Nikki. she left me . she thinks im crazy but im not and i have taken lythium . this is to much to be a coincidence. im going to call someone. i want answers.
Aside from a tour de force scene by Jennifer Lawrence, the reactions of the cast in the background is so tasty. The mom, Bradley, Shea Whigam, the couch guys. It's also one of the few times - if ever - I remember seeing DeNiro playing the confused guy who changes his mind. Awesome stuff here.
Tiffany was basically manipulating everyone to have what she wanted...Pat. She convinced Pat to start dancing with her by toying with his emotions and making him believe that she was actually gonna be the only chance he would have to talk to a wife that he was still very much in love with, even though she knew she was never gonna actually give her the letters. She convinced Pat Sr that Pat was supposed to be with her and that he needed to dance with her at the competition by exploiting Pat Sr's superstitious tendencies. And then she managed to convince both parents that it was necessary for Pat not to quit the dancing even if they had to lie to him for him to do it (so that she could benefit from it). Then when the wife actually showed up she got extremely upset that things weren't going her way so she selfishly got drunk and could have cost Pat Sr all his savings. That was done extremely well. Jennifer Lawrence really convinced me to feel sorry for her, to feel sympathy for her character for being a little mentally unstable but in truth Tiffany is not exactly a good person. Stable or not her actions were mostly for her own benefits more than anything else. Jennifer's performance just really made me sympathize with a character that really doesn't have that many redeemable qualities and so when you watch the ending you really think that it was the best thing that happened to him but really it was imposed on him. Danm good.
nayou317 There's flaws in your logic, though. Pat wasn't actually in love with his wife, he was just obsessed with the idea of getting his old life back, before he went "crazy". It is suggested that their marriage was pretty shitty before Pat was committed. JLos character realizes his obsession, and that it reconciliation with his wife is both not happening and not healthy for him to fixate all his attention on. So she actually helped by having him direct all that energy towards dancing and give him another goal besides stalk his wife. She got drunk, because she was very upset when she thought Pat was ignoring their deep emotional connection and was still interested in his wife. She can't be a sociopath, she's much too emotional and she cared about him very much. She also didn't care all that much about winning the dance competition. She liked to compete and liked making up routines, but he scores weren't that important to her so getting him to dance with her wasn't really benefiting her very much.
nayou317 wasn't the entire film about two mentally ill people finding some sort of healing through their love for each other? Sure you can look at it from that other angle when you put a spin on it, but that feels pointless considering it's a logical and well written ending to the type of story that was being told. I mean she could've Gone Girld his ass but that's an entirely separate film 😉
As a football fan, I hear other people talk about how ridiculous those superstitions are, and I just remember how the ONLY time I didn’t do my own crazy superstitious rituals during the 2015 season was the only game in the regular season where The Panthers lost... 😓
"I gotta say I'm impressed." This scene is why Lawrence won the Oscar. She made Robert De Niro rethink the whole thing.
Yep in a way De Niro was saying he was impressed which means a lot for an actor of that stature and its certainly why she won the oscar.
😂😂😂
youuuu....youuuu
It's a script...
@@mileshamblen9982 😂👌🏼
I always appreciate when Robert is in a movie where he is not playing some kind of bad ass.
This is honestly my favorite De Niro performance. He was so honest and forthcoming. You really believed in the craziness of his character and him as a superstitious father. I saw a ton of parallels between him and myself when it comes to myself or people I know. He really nailed it.
Let me think about that, let me think about that.......
Melody Diaz he was really good in The Intern too.
It has mostly be like that since Jackie Brown, he became a comedy actor and sometimes a joke
Exactly after a decade this is still hands down the hail Mary play where she's just clenches the Oscar from anyone else that was in the running that year❤🎉😂😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

My favorite scene in the film. Anyone who can wholly dominate Mr. DeNiro deserves an Oscar. This is when I became a JLa fan.
lf1234 I
I agree.
lol that explains why joaquin phoenix won an oscar. he absolutely dominated de niro in the joker

He went from she's the problem to "SON....MARRY THAT WOMAN!"😂😂😂
😎😏😂🤣💁🤗🤗
I know right
"By the way, I'm Tiffany" lol!!!!
...cut to Pat's mom, who looks at her like, "OK, crazy lady..."
“I Gotta Say I’m Impressed” Awsome Line
One of my favorite all time movie scenes. So fun and full of warmth and heart.
I like the collective “ooohs” from the guys in the background every time she lays a fact down😂👌
Mother in the background: "Oh Pat." Lol
2:03 Mom says "Oh Pat" after the excelsior drop like he should've known better. Crazy vs crazy
The best part gets me every time
Coincidently this popped in my feed after the Eagles won the Super Bowl after seeing Bradley Cooper at the game itself
Google knows all bro
Awesome scene! I wonder many takes that took! She went head to head with a legend!
+Deborah Fernandes This is where Jennifer Lawrence became a legend.
+Sean Hastings I agree!!
Yes! I say the same thing every time! She took on DeNiro and completely shut him down!

If you don’t fall in love with her acting here, something is wrong. She was awesome
100% steals the scene...and not so easy do with DeNiro standing there!
This scene was so great. Everyone delivered in this movie.
I love this film so much. Everyone's amazing and it's just so real and heartwarming to watch.
2:03 “oh Pat” 😂😂😂
*This scene won JLaw her Oscar.*
BlueFox94 without a doubt!!!! Tiffany is one of the most badass characters in recent years and she played that role to perfection!!!!!
And simultaneously tanked a blossoming X-Men redemption as her value become overinflated.

The acting is superb.
She really did do her research, speaking as a Philly suburb native. XD
Or maybe all bipolar people are genetically Philadelphians

Honesty same for me when it comes to Duke Basketball.
Same thing.
I'd marry her for her booty
Love the “I gotta say, I’m impressed” 😂
Taking a sip of beer after that awesome monologue was BADASS !!!🤘😎🤘
Just realized that the Eagles winning the Superbowl probably means that they just had their first kid. Congrats to the lucky couple.
I do love this scene, along with the final dance -- SUCH a good movie! Then again I am a bit of a 'hopeless romantic', so in that respect it's extremely difficult not to love this film.
This is the best scene! I like the last part of his reaction "I gotta say, I'm impressed" rest is history>
Most beautiful movie ever 😊🙏💙 watched it several times... always a pleasure
She won an Oscar for this?? Never knew that. I love this movie and the two of them were great in it 🥰
I'm glad that Bradley and Jennifer tried to get the Philly accent right. Philadelphians don't drop their "R's" the way New Yorkers do.
Bradley is a local.
She def doesnt have a philly accent, but at least she didnt try to and mess it up. Lol. Bradley's from the area though

Yep
“She’s right Dad” love Shea Wigham
What a great movie (Best of 2012)! I think this was the scene where I knew she was gonna win! Surprised it’s not the one that got her nominated!
I love this movie so much...they're all psychos
Welcome to Philly.......
totally. They seem a little erratic but not unusual.
Just all-around great movie thank you for sharing
i totally love jennifer lawrence.
***** Who here agrees that Jen should do a voice or two or few in some upcoming animated/cartoon films?
Did anyone else notice at 0:35, you can hear that Pat is talking to his dad but when you see the side of his face in the shot, he's not speaking. Lol nice editing
What?? The dude that you see in the side shot is Pat's brother (with the "A" on his chest). That's not Pat lol.
Beast Mode Lol he’s not talking about the brother. Look at Pat’s jaw not move when he is speaking
The random beer at the end…love it
I'd say she insulted Pat Sr., she insulted him a little bit.
😂😂😂😂
such an underrated comment
"Excelsior Look It up "
The best actress on the planet.
loved this movie. Lawrence n Cooper were great
I want to know who the heck took my life story and sent it to hollywood and made it into a movie?
and why wasnt i paid money for this?
this is my exact story.
I have bi polar , my wifes name is Nikki. she left me .
she thinks im crazy but im not and i have taken lythium .
this is to much to be a coincidence.
im going to call someone.
i want answers.
“She’s making a lot of sense Pop” 🤣
This scene, THIS SCENE ALONE, is the real reason that I became a JL fan
A well deserved Oscar. I love this film.
Me encanta que ella haya investigado bien sobre todo lo del football y pues manejó muy bien el problema obsesivo compulsivo del papá.
She lets the bottle cap hit the floor when she pops the Bud (that she wasn't offered)...such a nice little touch.
Best movie scene ever!
I love this scene and how DeNiro mirrors her behavior.
Jen wins her Oscar in these few moments. She’s bloody brilliant.
DeNiro is low key the craziest person in this movie.
What an tristar performance. Deniro, Bradley Cooper, and Jennifer Lawrence
Eli....Eli Thompson. Miss you, pal.
I remember ppl CLAPPING when the movie finished.... Best scenes best soundtrack best actors..... Best MOVIE ever !
It really sucks how everyone was ganging up on Pat when none of this was actually his fault
They all must be Celebrating 7 Years later since the Eagles just won the Superbowl, hope they weren't out partying too hard and destroying Philly !!!
Wow u go tiffany!

*“NOT THAT I GIVE A F*** BUT...” is my new catch phrase.*
I need to rewatch this movie. It's been a while 🥰
The bottle cap that dropped the ground at the end was a way to drop the mic.
I liked how she just helped herself to a beer lol
"She making a lot of sense pop" lmao
EXCELLENT scene.
how'd they beat the seahawks 14-7 when earlier in the movie they said the seahawks were up 27-10?
They dun goofed.
TheJayef maybe it was a preseason game? Haha
The Eagles actually won that game 26 to 7. Halftime it was 14 to 7 and then Akers kicked 4 second half field goals to put them up to 26.
I gotta say I'm impressed
I love that they won cause in my head they got married
Pat Sr. got owned.
My fav movie.
Jennifer Lawrence is so amazing in this movie.
"Oh, Pat!" ahahaha
"Oh Pat..."
"She's making a lot of sense, pop!" lol...

That’s a good synopsis. Awesome!
One the greatest scenes ever!
Great scene.
I loved this whole scene❤️
LOL. This only came up on the youtube suggested list after the eagles super bowl win.
I think the bottle cap sealed the scene perfectly.

Not to discredit the actors and actresses, but awards all-around to the writers who tied all of this together!
EXCELSIOR
Rocket Raccoon and Mystic❤
Mystique, but I gotchu.
