Life as a House Scene Selection

For this weeks assignment, I have chosen to break down a particularly moving scene from Life as a House.








This movie had a significant impact on me years ago when I first saw it. I was able to relate to the character Sam and so it was effective in moving me emotionally (still is, though Hayden's follow up role in Star Wars has taken some of the shine off this acting).

  1. Great in depth analysis. I liked when you discussed the more subtle things along with the obvious. Never having seen this movie, I didn't notice those things on my first viewing. It was a powerful scene and I got into it during the viewing, so your comments brought me back to the world of "formalist" criticism verses passive viewer.
