The great acceptance speech in the movie Get Real (currently watching it). Yes, despite the complete melodrama and over-played facial shots, it still digs deep into me whenever I see that scene. Strangely enough, the ending is reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet (or R and J) or possibly Orpheus where the guy finds the one he loves, loses him, finds him again, and loses him forever again.

Then again, this is still set only in the world of highschool where boundaries are set. Situations would most likely be different if the story took place during the college years, but then the ending wouldn't be as bittersweet nor the outcome completely impossible from the start.

Well, all I need to do is watch the rest of Sundance's OutLoud movies (Jeffery later tonight, then Alive and Kicking the next day, followed by Beau Travail, Chuck and Buck, The Delta, and Priscilla Queen of the Desert) and I'll have a nice way to occupy my summer hours (along with sitting outside in the new patio).
