Passion = Truth? How Jeffrey James Francis Ircink Sees The World? I love when people are passionate about something. That surging of emotion is the one honest measure of what truth is. It's a truthful display of how a person really feels about something or someone at that particular moment. That passion IS truth.

TGIF! presents...the all-time best love scene from "Don't Look Now" (1973).



You've seen the polls..."best love scene in a movie". Some say it's from "An Officer and A Gentleman". Some say "Body Heat". Unbeknownst to many - except actors or film buffs who know movies - Nicholas Roeg's "Don't Look Now", starring my favorite actress of all-time, Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland, has my favorite love scene. And many actors agree that it's in the Top 5.

First off, this is a great flick (I won't go into detail about the plot). Now what Roeg does with the love scene between husband and wife - Sutherland and Christie - is juxtapose scenes of them in bed making love (yes, Julie Christie is nude) with scenes of them getting ready to go out on the town AFTER they've made love. It's brilliant. See for yourself. Oh - and the music score is excellent. I guess the thing I take away most from the scene is that it doesn't come across "pretty" or "perfect" like you see in other movies - it's as if you're peeping into the bedroom of any couple making love in Anytown, USA. Brilliant.
