Haiku Friday: Favorite movie scenes
I always loved this scene from Bob Fosse's "All That Jazz," where the Fosse character's girlfriend and daughter create a dance for him. I love the unusual grouping of characters, the joy in it, and the movement and use of space. I saw the movie when it first came out (what were my parents thinking? I was 15!), and always remembered the elegance and love in that scene. He didn't deserve it, but that's the way love works-- it has to be part grace.
What movie scene touched you? It can be an old movie, a new one, or one that is just in your mind...
Here is mine:
Fosse's genius clear:
Beauty from imperfection,
Love is what matters.
Now it is your turn... the formula is 5 (ish) syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and 5 in the third.
Let's hear it!

I'm not so sure Roy Scheider didn't deserve it. I mean, the guy did save Amity Island from that pesky shark...

About that clip: I love the little kiss that Ann Reinking gives the girl at the end.
She's making the girl and her father feel loved at the same time.

This is addictive, even if I'm too slow to get them all in on Friday. Clearly I'm still working on the idea of "favorite."
