Greatest Movie Scenes #83 - THE RULES OF ATTRACTION
Watching The Rules of Attraction, you feel the urge to hunt these young adults down, knock the perfect teeth out of their fresh young faces and allow them all to sleep with each other in a mass, drunken and coke filled orgy, so they can finally get over their hangs up of who is sleeping with who because the question will then, finally become irrelvant. They are all doing it with each other and none of it means a thing.
For such a despicable movie, I've always actually kind of liked it, in a weird way. Go figure, huh? But I guess you don't particularly have to like any of the characters to enjoy a movie. The same can be said about Brett Easton Ellis' previously adapted novel American Psycho, try and find a sympathetic character there right?
But I've always been fond of one scene in particular which delievers on a pure visceral joy and vitality level showing brass confidence from director Roger Avary who fills his some of the best blending of music and character that I think I've seen.
The great scene in question is the split screen waking up of Lauren (Shannyn Sossamon) and Peter (James Van Der Beek) as they attempt to make class on a Saturday, which leads to their eventual meeting and something of a falling for each other. Love it...
