YMMV / Proof (1991)

  • Awesome Music: The entire soundtrack by Not Drowning, Waving. It is specifically written for each scene and moment, so the music always matches what's happening on screen, right down to fade-outs in the middle of a track.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Celia is a possessive, pretty nasty person who tricks, blackmails and manipulates people for her own goals, but Martin does mistreat her and from what we learn about her, her life wasn't exactly rosy. So while there are no excuses for what she does, it's still possible to sympathise with her.
  • Signature Scene: The brief scene when Celia seduces Andy and gets him to go to bed with her. The camera is in extreme close-up on Celia's face and her closed eyes when suddenly a shadow covers her face - implied to be Andy leaning towards her - and she opens her eyes, making a sly smile that's outside the frame, but still visible. All while the music changes to almost sinister. It's less than five seconds, but it's easily the most recognisable and memorable bit from the movie.
    Celia: Let's pretend we're blind.
