Wasn’t sure if it needed the NSFW tag, but I added it anyways.
The screenwriter William Goldman raved about this scene in one of his books. I think it was in the context of hooking an audience into the story so they can go on a ride of what’s to come. He used as examples this scene and the scene in ‘Rocky’ where Rocky loses his locker in a third rate gym.
It’s definitely an indelible moment. Something Kubric called a non-submersible unit, something that years later after you’ve seen something, you may forget everything about the film, except THAT one thing. It’s flame still burns bright.
