“And maybe some of them boys wanna get caught!” I heard Viola Davis scream this line for two days right outside my window while this was filmed. I watched Viola and Meryl rehearse this scene over and over from my living room. I was in awe and couldn’t believe what I was witnessing. My fond memories of the Bronx.

Great scene. Never gets old. The emotional contrast is excellent. Streep openly displays her emotions throughout the scene, showing her character's drive, her constant fervor. Davis is subdued for long stretches, and then she has these occasional powerful outbursts when it becomes overwhelming. She's trying so hard to keep her head down and get through this difficult life, in a world that doesn't care about people like her, but we can see that she's just barely holding on. Hats off to both these incredible actors.

Viola was in the movie for exactly two scenes, which make a total of eleven minutes. We don't even know the name of her character, she's just "Mrs. Miller". Yet, with just that, she delivered the most powerful scene of the movie. Her eyes, her mannerisms, everything just tells a crystal clear story. Like every character in this brilliantly written movie, there is a lot of mystery to her, and what we're shown just draws us in even more. Before watching the movie I thought it was ridiculous they'd give a nomination to someone with so little screentime, but I was proved wrong.

Acting and having it look and sound believable is not easy. Doing an emotional scene like this takes a deep toll on you and your psyche. Try doing this yourself and post it for the public, see if you can handle the criticism.
