Strange Days Exposition Scene

Ralph Fiennes' character Lenny does a bit of audience profiling for his channel... closing the sale with a good old fashioned product demonstration. "Virgin Brain" character Steve has permission to ask all the dumb questions, thereby giving the audience vital story information in a comparatively short amount of time.

This is one of the most incredible and brilliant movies I've ever seen. Kathryn Bigelow's triumphant achievement, in my view. Ralph Fiennes should've gotten an Oscar for this performance, same as Angela Bassett. This scene is perfectly superb.

Still box office failure

The best and only way to judge a movie! ;-)

Oh how I love this scene. Any reasonably well trained Shakespearean actor can speak his glorious poetry well. But it takes a real pro to make a line as ridiculous as "I'm the Santa Claus of the subconscious" work. Ralph, you're a true badass. 😊❤❤

It's all in the delivery

[@DragonSpikeXIII]

I read a critique once about the dialogue being a bit too "polished" for a movie of this nature. And it does show up in spots

[@mmmuuuuuuuuiiiiiiiiirrrrr]

Oh, you never saw this one? You've come to the right place, man. It is definitely worth a watch. It has aged pretty well.

[@1stMarDiv4341]

My parents rented this from Blockbuster Video as soon as it came to home release. I was 12, so they wouldn’t let me watch it. Was able to sneak the tape into my bedroom while they had a date night, and fell in love with it immediately. The themes presented are just as prescient today. And I’ve had a major crush on Angela Bassett ever since.

[@Chris_WG]

It continues to be one of my favorites of all time. Super solid actors - this is no BS. - i love this!! Thanks for the post Charley.

We’re about 20% there. We have been able to record this thru the POV shot thanks to GoPro

[@JustinLodes]

Joshua Santana 20%? Lmao. We’re aren’t even at 1% Using a go pro isn’t the same. we do they have technology that links directly into the cerebral cortex and directly connects another persons memories into our own allowing us to experience everything they did with their 5 senses

Anyone know where I can find the clip of Lenny, giving his pal in the chair, a clip of a dude running on the beach??

[@teiladnam]

The "virgin brain"'s name is Keith, not Steve. I was searching the cast list for Steve but there was no Steve!

[@go0fy11137]

Definitely worth a watch. I saw this back in 1995 when it first came out and loved it =)

[@mannelijkewarrior]

Back in those days when Young voldemort used to be handsome roaming around in Los angeles with an american accent.

Its a Great Dystopian Sci Fi Action Thriller, I Highly Recomend you seek it out.

[@AllWillBeRevealed957]

And when asked that, the guy didn't even flinch. He wanted to try it all!

[@MR-sm2vl]

The shower scene in this version was cut. In the original cinematic release, you see the girl in the shower. That version doesn’t appear to be on any release currently available, or even a clip.

No, Ralph Fiennes, a much stronger actor.

[@JustinLodes]

Lol no both they do both look alike

[@megaky00]

I love this film--it's the best film based on William Gibson's early works yet (even those he's not credited anywhere, it's obvious Cameron had read his stories, given the similarities in the tech, dialogue, terminology and neon-soaked streets).

[@delta-9969]

Yeah, simstim (sensory recordings) is all through the sprawl trilogy. And there's recurring Gibson jargon like SQUID - superconducting quantum interference detector. But Cameron took that one single element that is almost a throwaway in the sprawl books and just thought it through socially, economically, etc.

[@TheNthPhoenix]

Lenny Nero must be from Boston, cause he pronounces "Car" as "Cahh".

[@cherylhulting1301]

Nah, he's a British actor having occasional problems with his American accent! 😅😅😊 But it's a brilliant performance by Ralph Fiennes all the same.

[@prolefeed9371]

Aussies also say cahh

Funny About that, someone I know almost miss took him as Ralph Finnes (Who is really the actor there)
