heh, that's kinda what I thought too. "OMG, look America! They need a
white guy to save Japan! We rule! Booya!"
It was okay for dramatic entertainment but it was definitely pretentious.

Okay -- this one violates the time limit a whole lot, but it's a singular
act so maybe it qualifies.
My best moment in film is the last twenty or thirty seconds of "The Tango

There is no way that actors could have reproduced
Having just seen that - I think the moment is really when Bambi's dad
appears. After the gunshot, Bambi is still running for the thicket and
makes it there and says, "we made it mom! We made it!..Mom?" Okay,
maybe that's the moment.

bored with the job of blowing up planets that they're not paying any
attention.
