[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When Sally Field climbs up on the table with her UNION sign in Norma Rae. [b]The scene with the plastic bag blowing around in American Beauty.[/b] In E.T., when they open the front door and the astronaut is standing there. [/quote] I don't know if this has been mentioned already, but Allan Ball, the American Beauty screenwriter, has said in interviews that he was inspired to write the movie when he was sitting in the World Trade Center plaza and watching a plastic bag dancing in the wind drafts that were created by the towers. He said this way before 9/11. Makes that scene even more poignant, and oddly was one of the things I thought of after the towers fell. It made me wonder what other moments of inspiration and beauty were lost that day.[/quote]
