No More Table, Pal!

Not all, but many of the greatest scenes ever created take place at a table.

Naturally I speculate upon the significance of this object. What purpose does a table serve that allows so many great scenes to pop out like a premature pimple?

Perhaps it’s because tables allow for distractive consumption amidst conversation, or maybe because they act as physical barriers against personal differences and force individuals into resolution and personal cultivation. Or perhaps, metaphorically, tables are the archetype of support, often designed from the trees which recycle our air and allow the processes of human sustenance to flourish, they serve the function of intellectual utility, in which great ideas blossom in conversation and debate.

Amidst my struggles for an explanation I came to the conclusion that intellectualizing tables was about as stupid as starting a feminist movement and using the “mama grizzly” as a mascot.

Regardless, below are some of the best scenes in film history, which have an added bonus of some pretty nice tables.

What's Your Favorite Table Scene?

Note: After spending over two hours uploading and editing in subtitles for a scene from Kurosawa's Ikiru (due to technical difficulties), Toho Film Company reported me to youtube, which resulted in me receiving a warning and threat of shutting down my account. I fail to understand how allowing others to view the greatness of a particular movie scene results in any form of threat. If anything, I have put time and energy into free advertising for the movie. Should someone have liked the scene, they could have rented or purchased the film in its entirety. This type of action is completely irrational and unproductive in acquiring new film audiences and viewers.
