Current Talk '24 I / Re: And Yet Another New Slideshow
« on: February 17, 2015, 05:56:06 PM »
Once again I have to say that the dining room scene in which Vicki meets the rest of the household for the first time is one of my all-time favorite scenes in the Depp/DS film. And today's installment in the slideshow is without a doubt one of the best moments in it:
1972 - Julia: 'You're a liar. I can tell, you know. Just from a
person's face. Yours says: "I might look sweet and innocent,
but I have secrets. Secrets that'll make the hairs on your
arms stand straight up."'
It still fascinates me that even though Julia doesn't know that Vicki is masquerading under an assumed name, (not to mention all the other secrets/tragedies in her past that even the audience isn't privy to yet), Julia seems to have Vicki's number right from the get-go. And Helena Bonham Carter plays it all beautifully.
