Ok, so I have a Buddhism midterm tomorrow, but I need a break - my head feels like bursting - so I'm posting this. Its a clip of the brilliant, brilliant ending from the 1999 remake of "The Thomas Crown Affair".
*SPOILER ALERT*
Here's what's going down: Crown (Pierce Brosnan) has to return a painting to the Metropolitan Museum - Monet's "San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk" - which he's pilfered earlier. The police, however, have been tipped off by Catherine Banning (Rene Russo) and are lying in wait, a fact he's fully anticipated, and to circumvent which he has devised an ingenious scheme involving blatant copyright infringement of Rene Magritte's 1964 painting "Son of Man", with its iconic image of a suited man in a bowler hat, features obscured by a green apple - so popular even my friend Kaythi decided to rip it off for Halloween this year (see below). The entire scene is scored to Nina Simone's rousing rendition of "Sinnerman", an absolutely inspired choice under the circumstances, as you'll see.
Enjoy !

このビデオは、YouTubeにありません...。The same thing happened to Yoo-san's post, too. どうして？？？
For some reason, I could watch it in Google Reader. へんですね。
Anyway, クラウンはあたまがいいですね〜。わたしはこのシーンのおんがくがすきです。
