What great scene hit you like a lightning bolt?
For me, one of the first scenes I remember just blowing my mind was Al Pacino’s Opening Trial Statement in And Justice for All.
He’s a lawyer blackmailed into defending a corrupt judge he hates — a man charged with a violent assault. The judge picks him because of that hate — knowing the optics will make him look innocent if his loudest critic defends him.
Even decades later, that scene gets me.
A man willing to burn his career — and himself — for the truth.
That’s the kind of courage and madness storytelling demands.
