Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

Posted in Thoughts, Movies at 10:54 pm by Administrator

Just watched this movie and this made me think…

Brick Pollitt: [Offering Big Daddy morphine] It’ll kill the pain, that’s all.
Harvey ‘Big Daddy’ Pollitt: [Wincing with pain] It’ll kill the senses too! You… you got pain - at least you know you’re alive.
[groans]
Harvey ‘Big Daddy’ Pollitt: - It’s easin’ somewhat now. When you got pain, it’s better to judge yourself of a lot of things. I’m not gonna stupify myself with that stuff. I wanna think clear. I want to see everything, and I want to feel everything. Then I won’t mind goin’. I’ve got the guts to die. What I want to know - do you have the guts to live?
