I'll go a little subtler. The great Robert Mitchum's entry in the original Cape Fear. Cady introduces one of the most interesting characters in film to me. Part of me, as a male, admires how tough, cunning, and smooth he is. Part of me is repulsed by his easy slip into brutality (although I wish I were capable of that should a moment require it). He's brilliant.
Anyway, the opening of the movie has an attractive woman overloaded with books. She struggles along and Cady appears on screen at right in a long shot. That confident swagger. As the woman attempts the stairs to the court house (I think that's where it is) we move in closer. Cady goes the same direction she does. At last, she fumbles the books. Cady strides on by without a second look.
He just doesn't give a fuck. That's also one of his last lines in the movie. He terrified me when I first saw this as a boy. For me, he's one of the most memorable characters in film. As an actor, he so effortlessly conveys quiet, confident masculinity. He's a fucking man.
This kind of brief intro to a character with no words is the best when it works. Lector stepping up from the back of his cell is brilliant as well. That's every element of filmmaking working together: set design, photography, script, director, costume, and actor are perfect in a second like that.
I enthuse. Apologies.
