Inside Man (2006)A Spike Lee Joint As some of you may know, I am part of the organizing team of Cinephiles Film Club at Hyderabad. Last week, we conducted a movie quiz (questions are in a comment, on this post), in which one of the questions was based on this movie. The question was, which Bollywood song is used for the opening and end credits of this movie. I love the opening scene of this heist movie. Clive Owen speaks directly to the audience – and says "My name is Dalton Russell. Pay strict attention to what I say, because I choose my words carefully and I never repeat myself. I've told you my name – that's the 'who'. The 'where' could most readily be described as a prison cell. But there's a vast difference between being stuck in a tiny cell and being in prison. The 'what' is easy – recently I planned and set in motion events to execute the perfect bank robbery. That's also the 'when'. As for the 'why', beyond the obvious financial motivation, it's exceedingly simple – because I can. Which leaves us only with the 'how'. And therein, as the Bard would tell us, lies the rub." Cut to, Opening credits. Beautiful! I rewatched this movie on Netflix recently, and I drew Clive Owen from the opening scene. This is one of only a couple of scenes in the movie where his face is visible! The drawing was done with pencil on paper and scanned. #266 / 15-Jun-17
