What is your favorite scene in Dawn?

[HLS]

I was just watching this tonight and i started to cry in the scene where Roger and Peter are talking and Roger said he was going to try not to come back. it is one of the best scenes I think for it moved me so much. So what is your favorite scene?

Two scenes stand out for me; the scene where the priest tells Rodger and Peter about what they will find in the basement of the building is one of chilling, understated power, "...you are stronger than us, but soon I think they be stronger than you.". Magic. Also loved the scene where Peter is keeping watch over Rodger's corpse. Romero builds the tension and pathos of this scene brilliantly, I love the way that Dr. Rausch's (sp?) speech is used to convey the stark reality of the crisis on the macro/national level, "We're down to the line folks..." whilst Peter's grim vigil over his dead friend reaches it's inevitable shattering conclusion. Powerful stuff.

Powerful stuff. The scene i mentioned is part of the scene where Peter was watching over Rodger. That whole sequence was deep and meaningful.

Yeah, you're right HLS, that's just my favourite bit. . Ok, two questions for you HLS, Favourie bit of gore and favourite action sequence?

i cant reall pick one but the hillbilly montage as they head over the countryside with the sythesizer music was a good one, alos the "shopping" scene i think that was a big slap in the face on the politicl side. though the preist got som good lines in ill admit.

Fav gore was in the basement and they were feeding on body parts. Favoriate action sequence was the whole raid on that very building and the biker sequence. i cant reall pick one but the hillbilly montage as they head over the countryside with the sythesizer music was a good one, alos the "shopping" scene i think that was a big slap in the face on the politicl side. though the preist got som good lines in ill admit. Ya! that was a good scene also. I am suprised a lot of these actors did not do much as far as acting after Dawn, except for Ken. I was looking them up on IMDB. It looks like Roger was also in dawn 2004 which I did not know.

the 1st 20 minutes or so of the movie were my absolute fav. Before they got to the mall. I like seeing the world fall apart piece by piece while they are moving around. But the projects buildings where the\ police are clearing out Martinez people and the dead is my absolute favorite.

Bamm!!! "$hi#!" BAMM!! "Got 'im!" BLAMM!! "Ahhh...missed!" BLAMM!! also...the scene wihere the cop is asking our heores for cigarettes, they say no, and a minute later we see our heroes lighting up, as that poor cop is bugging his friends for a cigarette.

The part where Roger says "we got it by the ass" (or something like that) when they were picking up the trucks was priceless for his face was all lit up. lol hell the whole movie is perfection. Have you ever wondered what happens to Fran and Peter after they take off at the end? I would love to see a movie based on their travels.

Have you ever wondered what happens to Fran and Peter after they take off at the end? I would love to see a movie based on their travels. i've always wanted a story that kinda delves into that area, kinda how shadows of the empire was set between empire strikes back & return of the jedi. a story between dawn & day, & have a few of the characters from both cross paths, unintentionally of course you could call it shadows of the dead ** goes to copyright that title **

Is the child alive and if so what did he/she do with his/her life?

[creepntom]

i ask myself that everytime i watch it got to believe that peter could deliver a baby if he could abort one

[HLS]

i ask myself that everytime i watch it got to believe that peter could deliver a baby if he could abort one I suspect he had medical training. I almost forgot that tidbit.

[creepntom]

yea, you'd think he had some sort of medical training, or at the least, had a relative who was & learned stuff from them

For me, a lot of the best scenes were gore free. The conversation between Flyboy and Frannie in the storage area about their unborn child and moving to Canada was a great one for me. Especially in the extended version as it really makes you think about what you do in that situation. Is raising a child in all that madness wrong? I also loved the montage of the four characters as they do their shopping, eat food, play the arcades, try on clothing etc. It's the only slice of normality in the movie.
