A important part of the film is about how " patina" and imperfections actually makes the price of a collectors item go up in value. That is on these old items like instruments is not priced for beeing in " mint condition" like baseball cards or old electronics. My guess is that a part of the " value" is the smell of cigarette smoke, and also human DNA ( sweat) from touching the items. The value of " weathering" , and the passage of time. In Japan there is a name for this " Wabi-Sabi"

@ I’ve bought things on eBay that smell of cigarettes. It’s very toxic. I know what you mean. But it’s really not a good thing. Something that is imperfect or worn out is all part of collecting. But smoke damage is pretty bad.

@ralphmacchiato3761 Yea, recently thought of that. Indestructible book.

​@@zarathustra1430 "ASMR". I didn't know what it meant until just now looking it up

Sums up the 20th century

Cuál será el nombre de la pieza que toca?

But according to Baroness Kessler, Victor Fargas was a non-believer

@@patriciogonzaga3101 I think the book had an impact on him whether he liked it or not. Look at the mode change when he suspects Corso has the other version with him.

well said. I feel the same. This film is like a magic potion for the soul.

Man exactly. I feel the exact same way.

@@FirstLast-qb9iq It really is!

Same. It always relaxes me

Tingling, energetic feeling, use a search engine for a decent description. I don't understand it here unless people love the feeling scenes of the movie give them.

Autonomous sensory meridian response. Otherwise known as that satisfying feeling you feel when you hear Dean and Fargas flipping the pages in the books. ASMR is a very useful tool in may ways. This movie is a goldmine. Just from Dean talking itself.

Maybe just to keep a record, or maybe because it’s a thing he likes to do.

Havanaise by Camille Saint Saens

@@OscarGoesToOskar Thank you so much 👌🏻

Seriously underrated movie. Almost a lost gem but thankfully it has a loyal cult following. It also has one of the most impressive musical scores of all time. I do hope it gets a 4k UHD release some day.

@@greatdelusion7654 That would be so amazing. This film means so much to me, I love everything about it.

Truly Underrated

Also the previous French Engineer inspector self-snitched on a previous job he worked on for a Cartel group. This is supposed to be highly secretive and he comes off as a huge blabber.

@@IamCanadian3333 And that for sure. Also I think there's a nonzero possibility Mike/Gus knew blasting would be required, since they had access to utility schematics it's possible they already knew how deep down the rock was. So when the french guy assured them blasting wouldn't be necessary, they knew he was a bullshitter

It's called a Schmidt Hammer and it measures the hardness of the concrete.

@@koss1820 oh that's cool! Thank you! I appreciate the response!

Every facet of this show is worked out meticulously. The costumes, the cinematographty, the sound, the lighting, just all of it.

Filmmakers often forget that sounds are a part of the experience. It's not just visuals and talking.

They are Portuguese.

@@kitanowitsch He is talking about the Ceniza twins. They are Spanish and their bookshop is located in Toledo. Fargas is Portuguese and he lived in Sintra.

Gus didn’t give a shit how long it took nor what they were like as people.

@@unclekarl5219 Indeed. Gus cared about discretion, and no bullshitting. The other French (?) guy wildly underestimated the job, and volunteered info about another dodgy job he'd worked on - two big red flags. I also think Mike liked the analog approach of Werner too.

Wrong on all accounts, this guy is a professional he anticipated the needs of the job. His men were professionals who did their job even if one had an attitude problem, he was called on it and turned out to be a non issue in the long run. The only problem is Werner didn’t realize who he was dealing with and that his “vacation” to see his wife was a major security risk and that got him killed. Even with him gone his team got the job done and done well. So no your take is complete trash.

​@@jammin2575thank you man for spelling it out, that guys take is a pile of bs

Way better than the lesbians and their nails and rape whispering in both sides on the microphone.
