I was flipping through channels the other day and came across the film "The Village". Now it's been years since I'd seen this movie, though I do remember feeling that the twist ending felt too predictable and the pace felt a bit slow at times. Despite this I did enjoy the movie, and after re-watching this discovered several quote worthy moments - - one particular scene with Ivy Walker (Bryce Dallas Howard) and Lucius Hunt (Joaquin Phoenix) was by far my favorite in the entire movie. Here's the scene and words below:
Lucius Hunt: Why can you not stop saying what is in yours? Why must you lead, when I want to lead? If I want to dance I will ask you to dance. If I want to speak I will open my mouth and speak. Everyone is forever plaguing me to speak further. Why? What good is it to tell you you are in my every thought from the time I wake? What good can come from my saying that I sometimes cannot think clearly or do my work properly? What gain can rise of my telling you the only time I feel fear as others do is when I think of you in harm? That is why I am on this porch, Ivy Walker. I fear for your safety before all others. And yes, I will dance with you on our wedding night.
I will leave you with this equally beautiful line spoken by Ivy's father (played by William Hurt)later in the film...
The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe
