It made my hair stand on end just reading that

First time I saw it, at the end, when (spoiler alert) the club foot 'heals' I just went 'no ****ing way! What? What!'

I managed to hold off about a week before just having to watch it again.

It took me about 5 watches to realise that 'how much of that did he make up?' is the wrong question. 'Was there even a single word of it that was true?' is the correct question. I know the whole thing is made up as it is a film, but you know what I mean

Well this topic could span many posts but in summary:

We know the boat was real with 29 victims.
The Hungarians existed. The Faxed sketch strongly resembled Verbal.
Keaton existed (but not confirmed dead) and Edie was real - and died.
I thought the NYC line-up happened because Kujan would have checked...but maybe he didn't have time.

Think it's possible that Kint just changed the names to those on the pin-board, but there is a view that nearly everything was invented and that the lawyer was the arch-villain...you can google all this.

Anyway I'll watch it yet again...will have plenty of time coming up - sad to say.

Many thanks for that.

Part of me doen't want, ever, to go 'oh, now I get it!'. As Danny Baker often said, never shine daylight on magic.

I agree with every word you have written, but we actually only know about the line up because Verbal said there was one. It was certainly never checked as far as I recall. If it was real it feeds into Verbal's wider lurid narrative, though, which I am inclined to distrust.

My feeling is the theing was written so we eventually conclude we cannot conclude anything other than people died, and Verbal and 'Kobayashi' exist. Even 'Kaiser Soze' was mentioned only by the guy who told the artist what to sketch. Kint then latched on to it during the interview. Soze was evidently Verbal's declared name on the boat, but the story attached to the name was described 100% only by Verbal, so.....

I'm going to have to watch it again, possibly tonight....

That was the scene when ET and the boys went to the skies on the bikes. Guns were taken out. The opening scene fixed on the " keys " of the man who wanted to save ET who was there at the end and is a religious reference to St Peter, keys to the Kingdom. There are lots of religious nods in the film

Interesting, thank you.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Casablanca
Vertigo
The Great Escape
Harvey
Brief Encounter

 

[dangull]

Great Escape or Zulu.

Zulu Dawn is a good film as well,although it didn't finish well for the British army.

Groundhog Day


I feel like I’m in it at the moment!

Trailer dont really do it justice but "Smoke" (1995) is a great, easily watched movie with a decent feel good-touch to it. Written by Paul Auster and starring Harvey Keitel, William Hurt, Forest Whitaker, Harold Perrinau... dirty good actors. 93% on Rotten Tomatoes.

As it's yet to be mentioned, Withnail & I does it for me. It's even more necessary at the moment too, as it will generate a smile.

 

[Jesus Gul]

Betty Blue - not seen that in years. Beatrice Dalle

and maybe the apnea diving movie The Big Blue. Jean Reno

Tres continental
