Punctuated For Emphasis / Film

Examples. Of. Punctuated! For! Emphasis! In. Animated. And. Live. Action. Films.

• 300:
  • The endlessly parodied former Trope Namer, and certainly the Trope Codifier: "This! Is! SPARTA!".
  • "TONIGHT! WE DINE! IN HELL!"
  • "A new age has begun. An age! Of freedom! AND ALL WILL KNOW! THAT 300 SPARTANS! GAVE THEIR LAST! BREATH! TO DEFEND IT!"

• From 1941 (1979): "OH!" "MY!" "...god..."
• Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls: "NOBODY. MESSES. WITH THE DO!!!"
• American Beauty:
  • A few examples by Lester. One where he's doing bench presses and when Carolyn threatens to put him on ice somehow, he says, "That's... What... You... Think!"
  • Another is after he throws a platter against the wall at dinner:
    "Don't. Interrupt. Me. Honey."
  • The third time is when he's flirting with Carolyn on the couch in the following dialogue:
    Carolyn: You're gonna spill beer on the couch.
    Lestor: (Gets up) So what? It's just a couch.
    Carolyn: This is a $4,000 sofa, upholstered in Italian silk. It is not just a couch.
    Lestor: (Whacking couch with a pillow) IT'S! JUST! A! COUCH! This isn't life! This is just stuff! And it's become more important to you than living! And honey, that's just nuts. (Carolyn walks away) I'm trying to help you!

• Beowulf: "I am ripper! Tearer! Slasher! Gouger! I am the teeth in the darkness! The talons in the night! Mine is STRENGTH! AND LUST! AND POWER! I! AM! BEOWULF!!!" Not actually a case of Follow the Leader, since filming was completed before 300 was anything more than a blip on the horizon, and even then, it's presented more as a satire on this sort of machoness than anything else. And arguably justified by the fact that he's got to pace his breathing while he cuts off Crispin Glover's arm with a wooden door.
