The reason Jack didn’t want to do this scene is because he was loyal to the writer for this particular film (he said he’d usually be loyal to the director but this was the exception). He was close friends with the writer and they both felt this scene wasn’t necessary as it was spoon feeding the audience. She’d written this film and character with it being loosely based on her own family, but on Jack and his family as well (what she knew anyway). This was the second film they had worked on together. He wanted to stay true to her vision and script and also agreed with her. Judging by some of the comments maybe they were both right?

Only saw movie once, a long time ago, but remember this scene well. What I took from it was the utter futility of the outburst (from the character himself) because the father is too senile to even register the proffered olive branch let alone embrace it. A familiar case where you have to accept that some family issues will never be resolved and even if broached earlier the result would probably have been the same. What you can’t change, you’ll have to learn to live with. The other scene I remember is the ending. I won’t spoil it for anyone, but I’ve seldom seen something so harrowing. Letting the credits roll over continued action adds real poignancy. The same technique is used at the end of Midnight Run, though to different effect.

There is nothing in the movie to indicate that he was ever a concert pianist, though that presumably is what his parents hoped for him. He is a messed up, conflicted, and maladjusted man, and Nicholson displays that convincingly.

When we find someone or a few people who we can be "naturally" creative with magic happens. We compliment each other as we work off each other.

Exactly. He’s pretending this is “cinema at its best” when the scene is embarrassingly bad. It’s like talking Clark Gable into playing a gay dude. Some things just aren’t going to work.

I don't recall the film well, tough I saw it. I just watched the clip and I see why you say it looks fake. But the thing to remember is the character has lived his life to not show emotion, and with that in mind, the uncomfortable crying might be the discomfort of the character, not the actor.

My memory of this film, I didn't like it al all. Nicholson's character was a pissed off asshole over absofkn lutely nothing. And to start such a character with the iconic "Stand By Your Man" song, if the character was a mentally ill homeless fuck that noone would be with then maybe it could've had Monty Python level humor to it. Idk.

Uhh, that’s the point? He’s empty and without meaning and he has no real explanation for it. He’s pissed off bc he doesnt like his life and he’s an asshole bc he’s angry and bc he’s sad. At the root of it, he’s developmentally stunted since he started running all those years ago, from what terrified him, and by the end of it, he’s still running. Most tragically, he’s a wonderfully talented pianist underneath it all, which goes stifled and unshared with the world in any capacity. Its all-time tragedy, understated, poignant, slow-moving, heartbreaking, simply human. Yet not near the level-tragedy that is anyone wishing it had Monty Python elements! Lol

@@WyattTwerpp 5 easy pieces is the name of a piano book with easy songs anyone can learn in it, referring to the really easy chopin song Jack plays for that woman was a song he learned when he was eight years old, yet to her and the audience is an incredibly deep impactful scene. It probably refers to the nature of the film itself, where very little happens, yet it's a very deep introspective film.
