Smoke (1/12) Movie CLIP - The Weight of Smoke (1995) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
In the Brooklyn Cigar Shop, Paul (William Hurt) tells a story to the guys (Harvey Keitel Giancarlo Esposito) about Sir Walter figuring out how to weigh smoke.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
A Brooklyn cigar shop is the setting for this drama from director Wayne Wang that interweaves the stories of several characters that have fractured family relationships in common. Harvey Keitel is Auggie Wren, poetic owner of the Brooklyn Cigar Company, a store that he considers the center of the world -- a place where all of humanity eventually parades through. One of his regular customers is Paul Benjamin (William Hurt), a writer and a broken shell of a man whose pregnant wife was shot and killed near the store. When Paul's life is saved one day by a young black man named Rashid (Harold Perrineau, Jr., the writer and his rescuer strike up a friendship and begin searching for Rashid's long-lost father (Forest Whitaker). At the store, Auggie is surprised by the appearance of Ruby (Stockard Channing), an ex-girlfriend who informs him that her pregnant, drug-addicted daughter Felicity (Ashley Judd) may also be his -- and is in dire need of help. Screenwriter Paul Auster based the script for Smoke on a 1990 short story he wrote for "The New York Times." He also wrote and directed the film's sequel (of sorts), Blue in the Face (1995).

RIP William Hurt!
You were a talent and a gift.

[cascanicoff]

One of my top-ten favorite movies. And one of my favorite scenes in it. Hurt's rendition is simply poetical

[jackhanan]

Such a profound story. The weight of things that have left us.

[jonnybirchyboy]

One of my favourite movies of all time

[jdmthrash]

A exemplary example of a Tarantino esque scene following the success of his previous films!

[LiLi-orgm]

Paul Auster is such a fantastic writer. A role model for me. I'm a writer, too.

I first saw Wiliam Hurt in Altered States--wild movie--and it was obvious then he was a special actor.

[arbucklegarfield]

Tommy ( the guy with the newspaper ) is the actor who's playing Gustavo Fring ( Gus ) in Breaking Bad :)
A REALLY GREAT ACTOR :D

[Dualpersonalities]

“The difference was the weight of the smoke.”

[PabloSanchez-ocfb]

maybe the best two minute scene in movie history as far as I'm concerned

[pinomiraglia]

non capisco perché non ci sia una foto un minimo decente di William Hurt su Google, ha fatto molti film, ci sono solo foto in giacca e cravatta come fosse un impiegato di un azienda, era un bravo attore William Hurt, un altro mistero dello show business, un altro mistero di Hollywood, un mistero per noi europei .

what is wiliam hurt smoking in this scene?

[laidir]

Same principal holds re one's breath or soul. Difference between the weight of a living body and after it's died. It's 6.5 grams, regardless of body mass or any other distinguishing feature.

[jillar]

Nice movie. But the "difference" is not the weight of the smoke. When something gets oxidized (burned), it gets heavier with oxygen. ;)
