Burn After Reading - Harry Pfarrer Paranoid

Harry Pfarrer is paranoid. An epic performance from the actor George Clooney.

[@IIZBrett]

I love this movie. Linda got those surgeries she wanted, it only cost 3 men their lives and a decent, yet paranoid, boyfriend his sanity.

[@SomeBF]

He was a cheating & impulsive asshole but I don’t disagree that if Chad weren’t dead him and Linda may have actually gotten along quite well

[@SuperCosty2010]

Well he was sane enough to set himself on that flight to Venezuela. And CIA let him do that in the end, in spite of a murder he committed

[@epiphanyravenous]

His paranoia wasn't baseless, as far as I understand he really was being watched all the time

[@SeppukuDoll]

There's nothing decent about George Clooney's character

[@ossian108]

​@@epiphanyravenous He actually was watched by a private investigator and also CIA.

[@aneffortlesssmile]

I love Clooney's wide-eyed paranoiac expressions. One of my favorite things about this movie.

[@Crooky0]

The funny thing is, for how much of an idiot he was throughout this movie, I'm not sure I could blame him going nuts when this happens. From a character's perspective, this would be one of the biggest mindfucks in cinema history. You killed this total spook who happened to be "spying" on you at your girlfriend's house and your completely innocent-seeming newer girlfriend knows the guy, knows he was there and is looking for him? And is she telling you this because she also knows you were there and killed him and is trying to trap you in some way? Like what could be going through his mind at this point?

[@Vendrix86]

Honestly, of all the amazing lines delivered extremely well by the incredible actors and actresses in this movie, her delivery of that line might be the most perfect. It's so goofy and the perfect way for him to just get completely set off. And from his perspective, having killed a guy that he's 100% sure was some total spook that was out to get him, it's actually understandable he's going nuts from this. Like how are these people infiltrating his life?! lol

Proverbs for Paranoids 1. You may never get to touch the Master, but you can tickle his creatures. 2. The innocence of the creature is in inverse proportion to the immorality of the Master. 3. If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers. 4.You hide, They seek. 5. Paranoids are not paranoids because they're paranoid, but because they keep putting themselves, fucking idiots, deliberately into paranoid situations.

I mean, as it turned out he was being followed and surveiled the whole time so you can’t really say he was paranoid.

[@ANunes06]

What's the saying? "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't watching you." I mean, Phil Ochs was clearly losing it to bipolar disorder near the end, so all his friends were like "oh you" when he said he was being followed by the FBI. Then a couple decades after he hanged himself in his sister's house, the FBI declassified its files on Phil Ochs which contained HUNDREDS of pages of information, conversations, recordings, photographs... And in true Burn After Reading fashion, they still had him listed as active and dangerous up to 5 years after he died.

Hear this a lot from people. Clooney has a fantastic range. The Coen Bros I think brought out quirky performances from him in Oh Brother Where Art Thou, Intolerable Cruelty and this movie. But come on, flicks like Syriana and The American were un-Clooney like.
