when julia sees sam sheperd being blown up in the car bomb, i thought that her initial reaction was very unbelievable. i don't know if anyone else thought the same thing. this was right before she's in rupert's car.

I disagree; I think she's very powerful there.
shareShe looks real pale, and frail in a sexy, "burning the midnight oil" kinda way. If I were Denzel, I wouldn't've just slept on the couch, youknowhatI'msayin'!!

its funny you say that because i heard that denzel refused to even kiss her because he was afraid of the repercussions from black women.

Jease,
you'd think before you did something like freak out in a huge paragraph you might wanna check with someone who read the book, because in the end, its implied that they get down.

I agree... (with the reaction, not all of this pointless debate about Denzel and Julia "getting down") I am a huge fan of Julia's, and I think that her reaction to the car explosion was equivalent to her best acting in Erin Brockovich...
I like how she hesitates before completely screaming, like she is shocked. I couldn't have imagined a better actress or reaction to fit those couple of seconds...

We are watching it right now and even commented on good her reaction was. I was wurprised to see it questioned on IMDB.
share1) personally i think it was a terrible reaction. there was no shock, it was almost as if she was screaming even before the car exploded
2) throughout the book Grishman slowly emphasizes the build up of sexual tension between Darby and Grantham so even without having them kiss the director could have done better to imply that their relationship grew to something more than platonic
I myself have never witnessed a close friend being blown up in his or her car, nor have I ever watched someone who has.
So, I can't say.
Not only that, but as individual human beings, we all act and react to things differently.

and i completely agree! and actually .. i have to say something about him refusing to kiss her. i can completely understand him refusing to do a sex scene because yeah, thats gonna cause some controversy, but why he didn't atleast kiss her on the cheek i'll never understand! the director could have done an idea i came up with when watching the end of the film.
he/she (the director) could have had her sitting there watching his interview. then when he says "So do you know where she is now?" and he doesn't answer she could have slightly chuckled, because as soon as on the T.V she sees him act like he doesn't know where she is, he could have walked out from a door on to the porch and sat behind her and they could watch the rest of the interview together. do you get it? i mean .. it would have implied a relationship, and yet, he wouldn't have to do anything extreme.
Her reaction to the car explosion is one of my favorite scenes in the film.

Her reaction was comedy gold because it was so unnatural and ridiculous looking. Somebody needs to make an animated gif of it.
shareI think the reaction is very weird as well. It doesn't at all look like she is watching or reacting to that car explosion unless she was heavily sedated or something. Whether she is emotionally "shocked" or whatever, she should have jumped or something because that would be a reflexive reaction to the very loud sound.
shareI thought it was very well done, not at all like the typical movie way of reacting which is probably why some of you are thrown off. Overall I only give this a 7/10 but that reaction was good acting IMO.
