Mickey Rourke was one of the best actors ever. He should have won an academy award at some point. He was the best.

[@MrReynardMULDRAKE]

for the wrestler at least.

This was a brilliant film because Bukowski wrote the screenplay the way he writes prose...with directness, reality and his classic humor! RIP Buk!

[@Draaguoh]

My friends!!!!

[@Draaguoh]

I'm disgusted

[@reneadinaro8183]

I didn't know Bukowski wrote the screenplay. Thank you.

Don't forget Faye Dunaway's performance. Always liked her work but this role, for me, put her in a whole new category of artiste...

[@harty4653]

She's absolutely incredible in this. Was robbed of an Oscar nomination that year

[@michellelambert8729]

She's played in some good ones, Milady from the Three Musketeers comes to mind. But I really love her in this!

[@paulmc3457]

Absolutely, they both shined in their roles, shameful their incredibly powerful acting in this was not given the respect from the Hollywood community that they most certainly deserved.

[@ronkimelton8875]

Coolest movie. Look i drink, when i drink i move in the wrong direction. . Dont we all. . . .

[@walcoman]

So many unbelievably clever one liners! 😂

[@TheRampagingGallowglass75]

Mickey Rourke was born to play this role, with deep immersion, genius & a hilarity with undercurrents of pathos. No one else could have pulled it off like he did. One for the ages!

I like how the paramedics tell the guy with the obvious head injury to "get some sleep, you'll feel better" lol

[@AnnaLVajda]

Just some drunk to them.

[@jmufc41]

Yeah they are some f lousy medical people lol

[@sawdustmaker49]

i love this movie. this is a movie that should be watched when you are about half shit-faced. . it cuts thru all the bull shit about life, and exposes all the human imperfections that i love. mickey is giving an oscar winning performance imho. no bull shit politics, no bull shit morality, just an honest film about people and all their imperfections. this movie should be shown in sociology class at a colege level. violence is for eddie, who has earned it, not for wanda, who must be pitied.

[@Kiryutka22]

Wow! He's fucking awesome in this movie! Glad I found out about this movie thanks to your vids. Thanks!

[@micheleblue9804]

I hadnt seen this movie since it came out in 87. I saw that it was going to be on tv a few years ago & i was waiting but i fell asleep. When i woke up, it was this scene, when the detective comes to the door & hes full of blood! Yikes. This movies sure scared me straight from drinking in the bars! "To all my 'friends'!" Ugh...

[@dalexkom]

this movie is full of classic lines I was looking for a lottery ticket.. oh well..

[@garymerrill5246]

An anti-hero if there ever was one

[@lionellevaillant4480]

It is my favourite movie. I love it 😁😃 Yeah it is great

[@wasteland70]

Very well said.

[@brendangallagher5336]

who rolls into an apartment to a guy covered in blood and does not assume he's a serialkiller? Then the medics roll in and get mad for a "false" call. The guy is covered in blood hahaha

[@pullingthestrings5233]

"get some sleep, you'll feel better" 😂

[@eddiehyman3289]

Steve Benecke, thank you for uploading parts 1-6, can you upload the rest of the movie please? It's very good (and hard to find)

[@micheleblue9804]

Yeah! What he said!

[@user-dc1dr9kr8x]

Makes me want to check into the Cecil and grab for the stars that I cannot reach

[@Anzevuil]

@3:20 : Henry Chinaski, meet Henry Spencer! (i.e. the one and only Jack Nance, star of "Eraserhead," R.I.P. ). :) The sad part is that Nance was really living the role of Chinaski towards the end of his life, drowning in extreme alcoholism, mourning the death of his ex-porn star wife. :(

[@jamesmentzer]

Yea Nance had pet rats too!eraserhead what a movie barfly also one of my favs

[@socallawrence]

We need the rest of the movie my good man

"Why'd it have to be Eddie?!"

[@sluggzmcgee7420]

Why the fuck would he deliberately just stand there and allow her to beat him to a bloody pulp?! Just like when he "fought" Eddie. Just stood there allowed the guy to fuck him up.

[@BrandoAD049]

He enjoys that part of life.

[@strangersname]

@@BrandoAD049 Great answer.

[@ronzombie6541]

He had been beaten so much it didn't matter anymore. Also he was so permanently pickled he didn't feel much.

[@lucidlagomorph5809]

unoriginal macho energy lol

[@gregorygiulio]

Seems like Rourke was channeling jack kerouac for the character style of henry

[@pullingthestrings5233]

It is actually based on the life of Charles Bukowski.

[@kenwilkes44]

Wandaaaaaaa Babyyyyyyyyyyy

[@wasteland70]

@losing2woody Thanks for writing back. My first note was a bit reactionary because of my sentimental feeling for Rourke. Yeah, he may have been a bit over the top. Plus, which may make Bukowski happy, I had a few in me when I first wrote. Anyway, glad to see we like a few of the same poets. Also, though, in fairness, Bukowski hated most things! LOL!!!

[@katiezee2]

Incomplete - - the movie is 100 minutes, 1 hour,40.. but the 6 posts are under 1 hour total.. why do that !

[@romendez78]

Where’s the rest of it?

[@petersmithyy4556]

LMAO this movie is crazy, he's like im.alriiiiight he looks bloody as hell and just drinking like wtfff, WHERES THE BODY LOLLLLL

[@paulmc3457]

The ambulance guy looks like Earnest Borgnine, lol

[@Saturnia2014]

[@michaelaguilar7063]

Loved the screenwriting, not the acting. MR over-acts the whole way through. Should've acted distant and slow, like a real drunk, like Matt Dillon in factotum. Look up the facts. Even Bukowski was a bit embarrassed by the performance.

[@vincentpricesnephew]

@momwentcrazy you should read the book Hollywood about his experience with the Hollywood industry and how he was hired to write the script for the movie

[@chinchillian8197]

"Get some sleep." Lol

[@pozzytraction]

OUTSTANDING!!!

[@ronkimelton8875]

[@penknight8532]

Don't be so cheap. Go buy the DVD. The Blu-Ray version is worth it.

[@elnegro3388]

When Marlon Brando and James Dean died they begged God to please let them come back as Mickey Rourke!!!😍😂

[@jamesmentzer]

One thing about movies where they drink alot they never show you when you get the shits all day booze isnt as romantic as you think but im recovering and do miss getting invisable sure is exspensive now

[@charlesborrall3790]

Once my mother freaked out. I tried to calm her down. She just over sugered out. Big to do about nothing. I wasn't aware. Red lights, is what is for aging.

[@HisAssholiness]

wheres the second half ? where part 7 onward ?

[@tracychamberlin3502]

Brilliant

[@kindsaluv]

@ losing2wwody in an interview bukowski said he loved mickey. wasn' t very fond of faye's acting, he said she was professional but nothing else. but he really dug mickey, as person too

[@ronenmargolin5701]

I could def see them as friends! Mickey Rourke even tried his hand at poems for a bit and was brilliant as well!

[@johnfarmer3506]

If they would of tightened up on this movie it would of helped it out. Should of have Fay hit mickey Rourke with something that could of caused that kind of damage. Also there is scene where mickey Rourke leaves a half a solider at a bar. No rummy leaves half a soldier. Still its a classic that was very well written

[@brianpeck4035]

where is the rest of it? anybody can upload the rest?

[@matthewmooney8167]

Thank you.

[@jasoncoker1625]

🤘💯😑

[@PhilipPedro2112]

what happened to the rest?

[@wasteland70]

@losing2woody Hank? What you knew the guy? I've read a shit load of Bukowski and I think Rourke hit the mark, basically. Anyone would fall short. Bukowski was Bukowski. And, though his poetry is at times elegant, the entire thing became an act. He became an entertainer. Go read some Rilke, Baudelaire, Neruda. Your comment really pisses me off. I think we could be friends!

Buy the Blu Ray DVD... it is worth the 30 bucks as it has a bunch of special feature and an option to hear the director talking about every scene.
