A great confrontation scene in my opinion has the aspect of good chemistry between the actors/actresses to deliver such forceful dialogue. Do you have a favorite?
For me, top of my mind are (in no particular order):
- Her - Joaquin Phoenix+Rooney Mara - when they are signing the divorce papers. "You fell in love with your computer?!" The way she delivered it with such disgust is amazing.
- The Social Network - again Rooney Mara but with Jesse Eisenberg - "You will go through life thinking that girls dont like you because you are a nerd. And I want you to know from the bottom of my heart that won't be true. It will be because youre an asshole."
- Heat restaurant scene with DeNiro and Pacino - despite having a common ground they wont stop on what they are doing
- The Dark Knight with Bale and Ledger - "See I'm not a monster, I'm just ahead of the curve."
- Inglorius Basterds opening scene aka Christoph Waltz' epic scene - "You're sheltering enemies of the state, are you not?"
- Marriage Story - Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson - "Everyday I wake up and I hope youre dead!"
