Truth could be... my motto. Fighting for the truth is probably what I feel most strongly about. And, truth be told (no pun), most of the time I feel just like Jimmy in the process. :( Wow.

(See what your pictures have done? Already he's gone from Cagney to Jimmy.)

Aside from that, Memories (Yay! for more caption allusions I get!), Breathe, Wake, Dark, and Forgot are my picks from this set. Although when I look at the others, I lose all my decision. :D Fury is appropriately scary. Eep!

*grins and looks innocent*

Re: truth--you and me both! :\

Of course, a lot of my text choices--and indeed, my choices of images themselves--do reference the theme of the movie or scene I took them from. In "Each Dawn I Die", Jimmy is a reporter trying to expose corrupt politicians, who silence him by framing him for manslaughter and sending him to prison (where he gives a spectacularly raw, gut-wrenching performance as an innocent man fighting not to be broken and brought down to the level of a true criminal). That's why I chose it for Truth. It was also the reasoning behind Distort--one of the hardest prompts to figure out what to do with.

The Anger icon catches Jimmy about a second before the infamous Grapefruit Facial in "The Public Enemy". *g*
