Movie Quiz #7: The Answers.
Shot 1:
I guess I thought people would recognize the final scene of Marcel Camus' Black Orpheus (1959), but I was wrong.
Shot 2:
And I thought people would recognize that scene in John Woo's The Killer (1989) when Danny Lee figures out how Chow Yun-Fat massacred those assassins, but I was wrong too.
Shot 3:
And I thought that people would recognize Hanna Schygulla's back -- there was a big clue there! -- in Rainer Werner Fassbinder's The Marriage of Maria Braun (1979), but I was wrong again.
Shot 4:
And I thought that people would recognize the last image of that incredible shot in Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious (1946) -- that's Ingrid Bergman's hand with the cellar key -- but I was, once again, way wrong.
Shot 5:
And finally, Danny Lloyd (I think it's kind of cool that his first name really is Danny) pedals through the hallways of the Overlook and stops by room 237, in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980).
Boyong Valencia -- a high scorer from the days when I still had my Pinoy Trivia Quiz, almost a decade ago -- was the first to give me the lone correct answer. You folks will get an easier one, one of these days...
