The Movie Noise podcast will be returning soon. I have been watching a lot of movies from a lot of different genres. In fact, some of the science fiction movies will also be crossposted with SciFi Noise and the comic book/superhero movies will be crossposted with Comic Book Noise. Since I have already written the notes for the next fifteen episodes, once I sit down to record, there will be a lot of shows in a relatively short period of time.

Some of the upcoming episodes will be about Brick, Delicatessen, Avatar, Defendor, Kick-Ass and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (I can’t have the only show in the feed that doesn’t talk about the movie). There will be more but those are the ones that immediately come to mind.

The first one I chose is from Spike Lee’s Jungle Fever. While a lot of made of the movie’s interracial/romance main story or the “drugs are the scourge of our community” subplot, one thing that always struck me as sad about Jungle Fever was the disintegration of the father/child relationships in the movie. The scene where Frank Vincent finds out Annabella Sciorra had slept with Wesley Snipes was brutal, but Samuel L. Jackson’s final scene in the movie is one I find so sad that even after all these years it can still bring a tear to my eye. I can only imagine the stories behind what went wrong in the lives of the family to bring everyone to this.

When I first saw this, I couldn’t understand how Ossie Davis Jr would be so cold hearted, but as I watch it again, I can see a man who feels as though he has absolutely nowhere else to go. Even as he sits there reciting scripture, you can see he is a man defeated. Ruby Dee’s crying at the end of this scene rips my heart each time. I also regard this as one of the best scenes Samuel L. Jackson has ever performed in. He was sad, creepy, scary and even funny in the span of five minutes. Like a lot of my friends, this was the movie that put him on the map for us and most of it is because of this scene.

If you don’t own this movie on DVD, here is an Amazon link to buy it (buying through this link will help the site):
