Can't believe this hadn't been posted here already. One of the most hauntingly beautiful moments in television history, or in anything I've seen for that matter. |

Since I posted a Twin Peaks choice before in this thread I'll be original and post another one, this time from S2 in what I consider to be one of the greatest mood scenes of all time. In honor of Julee Cruise:

Pose is the show that introduced me to this song... Not Stranger Things.

Just got to this in my rewatch a few days ago - briefly mentioned by ibbi at the top of this thread but I think it deserves more of a mention. When I first saw this episode 10 years ago I definitely didn't understand the full power of this moment. One of the most memorable needle drops ever, and not only because of the obvious massive flex of having licensed a Beatles song to begin with. Mad Men and especially its fifth season especially is all about rapidly changing social mores and the ability of its characters to adapt to change or not. This moment is one of the series' grandest announcements of the impending future - the lyrical content of the song, its bold and insanely forward-looking sonic experimentation, etc. - and coming at the close of the episode where Don concedes to Megan's wishes, a rare instance in which he doesn't get what he really wants. He tries to stop the song prematurely, distastefully, to exert his act of control over the scene - but the song continues as the credits roll. Times are changing, and even Don can't control it anymore.
Or maybe it just keeps playing so that the producers could take a victory lap, and get every dollar worth of the $250k they spent on it. Either way, it's awesome.

I can't seem to find the clip, but it's an episode of Miami Vice called Forgive Us Our Debts, which has a very memorable ending of Crockett (Don Johnson) being made to look like a fool and the song that comes in is Peter Gabriel's "We Do What We're Told" and it's haunting and sad and kind of creepy.I always loved that one, haven't seen it in a while but great stuff.... Here's the clip at the very end - although I'm pretty sure if you see the full episode this goes longer and lingers on Don Johnson's face as the mocking song gets louder. If you know the show this scene kind of ruins his life and the song is pefectly cruel. |
