Another thing people miss is in the beginning. The detective states that Verbal is paranoid about being recorded and knows that all the interrogation rooms are bugged, so he wants to be questioned in an office. In reality he knew that interrogation rooms are empty and that he would need props as inspiration for the story he was going to create. So he arranged to be interrogated in a room with plenty of material.

Has anyone figured out the significance of the cigarette box? There are four figures on the box, and Verbal Kint looks at it right before he begins staring at the board and sees the bottom of the coffee cup. I thought perhaps the four figures were the source of inspiration for the four characters in Verbal's story. I also thought that the box might be a subtle indication that the room is bugged, as the box scene occurs right before it cuts to the recording device in the adjacent room.

It took me a few watches of the film to work out that almost all of the story can be viewed as false. Once you work out that the character "Kobayashi" is invented, then all the parts with the gangsters talking about Kobayashi (e.g. when they plan to kill him) must be invented. Likewise for the same reason, redfoot must also be invented. Which leaves the only bits that we can establish as actually happened are the very start of the film, the suspects being killed, the bit with the fax machine, and the very end. Everything else is made up by Verbal Kint.

The only person alive who claims to know Soze's motive for attacking the boat is Kint - who we know is an unreliable narrator. Everything he says about how the attack played out is suspect. He could have left bits out, lied about the events and even made up all the interactions and relationships between the main characters. In fact anything not directly verifiable by solid evidence is likely fiction. For example, the entire character Redfoot likely never existed - it's the Alias of a prostitute on the noticeboard. That's Kint's genius - he improvises such an engaging story that the Kujan *wants* to believe it.

He also talked himself out of custody. He can clearly operate through cutouts very effectively, hence Kobayashi. I see wins all around. Kujun isn't chasing him to Eastern Europe.

@Nevada-nx1jk7 ай бұрын
From the first time I watched it 30 years ago I thought the Kobayashi character was actually Soze. The majority of the characters and story lines are made up by the Kint character and from memory does Kint not mention in the interview that Soze is coming for him? I just think why would Soze put himself in danger, the Kint character could have been the killer/accomplice and the real Soze was the Kobayashi character, in the background pulling the strings?
@purple82892 ай бұрын
Keep in mind that Kobayashi could be in charge of Soze and no one would know any better. He could have created Soze and gotten Spacey's character to play it.

My cinematic hill to die on. Verbal was not Kaiser Soze. Kobayashi was. The whole plot was to kill the one man that could identify Kaiser Soze. Now there was an entire police station that could Identify Verbal. No one except Verbal could identify Kobayashi. Verbal Kent was the only man that he truly trusted. Kobayashi was Kaiser Soze

Here's a Usual Suspects tidbit you probably didn't know: Fenster's "He'll flip you. Flip you for real" and the accompanying gesture is taken straight from the great jazz pianist Thelonius Monk. Look for "Thelonious Monk Documentary -- 8/10," about 6:10. I learned this from my good friend, the late Jack Shearer, who played one of the French businessmen having dinner with Gabriel Byrne when he gets rousted. Jack saw the Monk documentary on TV & thought WTAF. I didn't see it for myself until years later, on KZbin.

Honestly, Soze wouldn’t have let himself, be caught the movie shows he’s a man who can get anything done through manipulation & fear. So why does he go through the ruse with Kujan other than to toy with him which is even more frightening.

A detail almost everybody misses which is more character building than anything else, is that Verbal Kint is fluent in written Japanese. In his theatrical retelling of a bunch of stuff that didn't happen, there's a brief exchange outside "Kobayashi's" office. Next to the door is a sign that says, in correct Japanese, "Kobayashi, lawyer." (小林 弁護士) It's not even written in English, because that's how much of a show off he is.

We can’t assume anything Verbal has told Kajun is fact. The only facts we know is that the burnt guy was able to describe Soze in the drawing and that many people died on the boat.

One of my favorite movies, and I am very picky about my favs (as though my opinion matters to anyone else). This movie was well crafted. The best part is figuring out that the ENTIRE story ends up being made up BS by Verbal. It was also cool that the actors played different parts, and I loved all the different pronunciations of Keyser Söze.

@iainjames032 жыл бұрын
I've always disagreed with the "it's all BS" theory. I maintain that the story Verbal tells is largely true, just embellished and altered. Parts of it _have_ to be true; the boat 'heist' clearly happened - just not for a coke deal. The line-up would be on police record, as would the interviews. The police would also have known about the hit on Saul Berg, as well as the attack on New York's Finest Taxi Service - at least to the point where they could have called BS if it wasn't true. I think Verbal knew he could tell Kujan the truth but in a way that would be what he wanted to hear. He'd know Kujan was gunning for Keaton and that he'd find out about the myth of Keyser Soze. So it wouldn't be hard to make him think Keaton was the mastermind.

I agree. It has to be almost entirely made up, including most of the scenes we see with the suspects talking to each other. Red foot may not have even existed, and as for Kobayashi, all we know is he's some unnamed guy who picks him up at the end.

Right after the 41st minute When Kujan is talking about how Keaten was using Verbal because Verbal is dumb. The camera stays on Verbal and then he smiles as Kujan is builidng and telling the false story that Verbal is leading him down. And then Kujan comes in to frame and sits to the left of Verbal. Kujan grabs Verbal by the collar when Verbal mentions the “lawyer” “What layer?” Kujan asks and then he gets upset with Verbal grabs his collar and there it is! VERBALS CP HAND SHOVES KUJAN’S HAND OFF OF HIM AND KUJAN DOESN’T REALIZE THAT VERBAL JUST USED HIS DISABLED ARM PROVING VERBAL IS A FRAUD AND NOT WHO HE SAYS HE IS. 42:18 mark on the dvd.

Soze's actions are all a bit weird. He could have evaded capture. Instead, he basically gave up his appearance and fingerprints just so he could mess with the police. For me, the first big clue that the story was fabricated was Kobayashi. Kobayashi Maru was the simulation of a no-win situation in Star Trek: the Wrath of Khan. The fact that a character with a Japanese name had an Indian accent and a Caucasian appearance added some alarm bells.

Another thing worth noting is that in the penthouse Kobayashi scene, Keaton is wearing Fenster's suit and shirt. I think the other outfits are off as well, but I don't remember. Point is that it's another example of Verbal making it all up and getting the details fuzzy in a few places. Also, everyone's laughing in the police lineup scene because one of the actors couldn't stop farting and it cracked everyone up, even though it pissed off the director who wanted a more serious scene.

Only the word "söze" can not be translated verbal. It must be "sözel" or "sözlü".And it doesn't mean you talk a lot. "Sözlü" is the situation before the engagement. It can also be called a contract to marry with word."Sözlü" is the name of the exam in which the student is put on the blackboard in front of the whole class and the result is graded."Sözel" It is used for all kinds of work done without the use of paper and pen.
@MetallicaTurkey87Ай бұрын
The names Verbal Kint and Kayser Söze can also be linked, as both Kaiser and Kint can be interpreted as similar names, knight and king, while Verbal and Söze are even more similar due to the origin of Söze being from "Söze Boğmak" as you mentioned, which I had no idea about. The cigarette holding style in Turkish is actually really interesting as well, because that is usually how you expect a lowlife, or a shady character to be holding a cigarette, usually allowing them to hide the cigarette (or joint) behind their thumb, hiding it.
