英语电影之 --Fracture 破绽 (2007)

Fracture, 破绽. Another quite good criminal type movie, starring the respectful Anthony Hopkins. Ever since " Silence of the Lambs", his way of saying the lines has attracted me so much. That elegance, that power. Coincidently, this time, another criminal psycho killer.

This clip is about the visit of Beachum to Crawford in prison and Crawford told him about at history of him being in the egg farm. I see it as a masterpiece in this film, line wise. So the following is a few lines quoted from the movie. Enjoy!~~

"You know, my grandfather was an egg farmer. I used to candle eggs at his farm. Do you know what that is? You hold an egg up to the light of a--a candle and, you look for imperfections.The first time l did it, he told me to put all the eggs that were cracked or flawed into a bucket for the bakery. And, he came back an hour later and there were 300 eggs in the bakery bucket. He asked me what the hell l was doing, but l found a flaw in every single one of them. You know, thin places in the shell and, uh fine hairline cracks. You look closely enough, you'll find everything has a weak spot where it can break, sooner or later." ---Theodore Crawford
