Comment about what you think as the most powerful/poignant/overwhelming/influential/vivid/moving/intense
moment/scene in a work of art you've ever come across.

Mine is from Aparajito directed by Satyajit Ray (Novel written by Bibhutibhushan Banerjee):
1.The relationship between the widowed mother and the adolescent
son, intensely dramatized by a profound revelation of the
author’s: Apu, upon learning of his mother’s death (says Bibhuti
Bhusan), had a feeling – even if
momentary – of a freedom from
bondage. This would be a daring
thing for anybody at any time to
say, and it was the mainspring of the screenplay.

2.The cinematic possibilities (by which I imply both
visual and dramatic) of the contrast between the three main
locales in the first half of the novel – Benares, a typical Bengali
village, and the city of Calcutta.




I'd tell you about equally strong moments I've come across in various other media. But now it's your turn and so we begin the duel...May the best moment live
