 My favorite moment in almost any story is when the chill guy finally loses his shit.

As an old example, like the moment that Hamlet is going to fucking Kamikaze with Claudius.

Lion King was written as a nicer version of Hamlet. That moment when Simba returns to his burnt prideland and sees Scar’s devastation.

Or as a modern but less well-written example, when John Wick has his dog killed.

That moment when it’s like, “…okay, let’s fucking go.”

If it is well acted, it can be terrifying or memorable.

Basically this whole film is building up to such a moment 
 John Wick losing his dog is a great example.. 
 Hamlet did it better 
 Or as I read on a Madex/Spacebull piece, (and sorry, I can't remember it exactly) "Beware the quiet ones who only want to be left alone." [I mentally added: Because they will fuck. your. shit. up.]

 I like Nostr because I can read two "fucking" in a Lyn Alden note, impossible on twatter 💜

 Why is it so deliciously satisfying???

 Daenerys burning down King’s Landing after Cersei had Missandei beheaded 
 Or when Samwise Gamgee gets angry enough to fight Shelob, orcs, and later Gollum.

This is the exact moment when this otherwise gentle hobbit became 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 angry: 👇

 This is R programming. 
 I think the death of my Father was that moment for me. I cried hysterically, And I don’t think I will ever feel that feeling ever again. 
 Terry when someone touches his Yoghurt. 
 Ask yourself, are you being chill about something, when you should be losing your shit? 
 That's why I loved Drive so much.  
 Movie THE FALL.
