I think that's one of the most lovable things about him to be honest and he will always be right up there with my favourites because of it. The grieving scene really was beautifully done and Gary, of course, made it his own. When he falls down and actually puts his hands together to pray, I deal with it pretty well, but then.. when he drops his head completely and just starts sobbing, I lose all control.
I love that scene at the beginning of the film! really is one of the best. I especially love the bit where he shows Terry the frozen hands.. that laugh he does kills me every single time. It's just gold, the whole thing. I also love the scene in which they're waiting for Frankie to come out of a "negotation" of sorts with Borelli. It makes me pretty ill, really - because although Frankie is reluctant, he agrees to off his brother and while all that's going on, Jackie is losing his mind thinking something has happened to his big brother and I just...
Jackie is a bit on the quiet side at the moment but I'm sort of encouraging him to open up a little with a few pints of carling and thus far, it's working. I'll have my first update ready by this evening! how about your new muse? :D I hope things are running smoothly <33

I'm so so so sorry for not answering this sooner! I know the exact scene you're talking about and have to say that it's easily one of favorites. Quite right about the entire movie being a masterpiece but theres something about seeing this gruff tough loose cannon of a man being so open and vulnerable like Jackie was. I always thought of it as no matter what Frankie had him do Jackie was truly his own person; he had a heart and he had emotions. Gah, it still gets me.
Another favorite of mine is in the beginning when Terry goes back to Hell's Kitchen and meets up with Jackie and Jackie's going on about how "Hell's Kitchen ain't even home anymore. They call it Clinton now." You can hear in his voice this total disdain for the change, like he's lost a part of himself somehow.
How is your dear muse holding up? I've been meaning to ask you my dear! I'm sending you both lots and lots of love! <3 :-D

I feel like a fool for not responding to this sooner, but as Jackie is currently my most active muse, I feel the need to answer!
There are actually many scenes in State Of Grace that I love; the whole film is a masterpiece, really. But the one that always stands out for me is the church scene.
Midway through the film, when Jackie is still distraught over the death of Stevie and Terry and Kathleen find him there, a drunken and sobbing mess. It breaks my heart to watch that bit but it's so beautifully done.
How about you? Which is your favourite scene? or Jackie moment?

Call me partial to a certain character who may just be a member of our lovely board but I couldn't help myself. I've really got to order another copy of the DVD. Just to relive the film. ;D So, my question at the moment is this, favorite scene or Jackieism?
Oh and a video that might just fit Mr. Flannery :)
