The Moment I Fell For... Joan Allen

It's sort of a cheat, my choosing this moment, because I had no idea who Joan Allen was when I saw this movie, and years later when I did know who she was I didn't remember it was her in this film for a long time. But I LOVED her in this movie when I was a kid, even if it presaged my love for Joan proper.

She is so fantastic in everything. God I love her.

Good God, yes. That movie was a staple for young me. When Ben Kingsley piles the certificates on the table, one after another: "You want the certificate. You have to have the certificate. You won't move until you get the certificate. Fine. You win. Here's your certificate. Fill it out. It doesn't mean anything. It's just a piece of paper. It's a xerox of a piece of paper. Do you want another one? Do you want 10? Do you want 20? 30? I've got a whole briefcase full of them. They don't mean anything, though. They mean nothing."

Joan Allen: "Get out of my house."


God. So uncomfortable. So real.
