Such a great movie, and not only for it's ending. Great storytelling, writing and acting from all participants. Bryan Singer in his pre-X-Men days. Jen, your reaction was great.

[@pravusprime]

Perhaps the best example of the "Unreliable Narrator". We know a few things did happen: There was the robbery and the police line-up. Edie did get them out. New York's Finest Taxi Cab Service got hit. The Hungarians were buying the one person they knew could ID Soze for 91 million dollars. Edie was doing the legal work to get the rat. The ship was a massacre and partially exploded. Verbal Kint was arrested and charged, but received immunity. There is a Kobayashi, but that's not his name. Everything else is to various degree's, an unknown.

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

I saw this on a blind date back in 1995. I forgot about the date because I was so glued to the movie and shocked by the ending. To this day, I'm still obsessed with it. BTW: The screenwriter who won the Oscar for this has directed a few of the Mission Impossible movies. P.S. Do you notice the pattern of 3 through the film? The 3 heists, the 3 shots of the coffee cup breaking. It's weird.

[@nirfz]

[@Daniel-kx3xs]

Hi Jen. Enjoying your content. I have a few questions. 1: are you a musician? You seen to focus on the score of movies a great deal. 2: when you go to a movie theater and see a movie with an audience, do you talk throughout the movie? Not a criticism, I like knowing what you are thinking about a movie while it happens.

[@jenmurrayxo]

No I don't talk when I watch movies with others, that'd be rude lol. I do it here because they are commentary videos. I play some instruments 🎵

[@tubekulose]

"Kobayashi Maru?" 😂👍🖖

[@DarraghC]

[@Erulin68]

The movie only gets better on a second viewing as you see Kevin Spacey act totally different than the first time. For instance he's is always smiling or smirking when the cop is behind him and changes back to looking all meak and weak when the cop can see his face. And you literally see him read 'Kobayashi' on the bottom of the cops coffee mug. It's on a second viewing that you truly understand why Spacey so deserved an Oscar for that marvelous performance.

[@zmarko]

I saw this in the theater back in the day, and I remember a few audible gasps at different times at the end, when people seated around me were figuring it out. Such an iconic ending. And remember, this movie and Se7en were released roughly a month apart. 1995 was the year that really made Spacey into a household name.

[@MarkJ1776]

When I saw this in the theater, I let a loud "no way!" out at the ending. Everyone was shocked by the end. I called my brother right away and said I would drive up to meet him because he had to see this.

[@rowdycmoore]

LOL like clockwork. Everyone always says "Benicio is so young" when watching this.

[@jasoncaldwell5627]

This is the ultimate "unfaithful narrator" story- where you're buying everything that's being fed to you by way of clues and events and it's all lies...or just enough lies that it's plausible. A true classic of crime suspense.

[@genghispecan]

As you say, it probably happened more or less as portrayed but with some key details left out - for example, Soze probably approached all of them individually as Verbal after the meeting with "Kobayashi" to see who would run and then offer to go with them. That's when and why he killed Fenster. Funny to watch it again, seeing how Verbal is always driving the action of the story.

[@scottfreeisme]

[@Keyboardje]

No matter how many times you watch this movie, you will NEVER know what did or didn't happen. That's the beauty of it.

[@williamblakehall5566]

In that classic movie Casablanca, the corrupt policeman who becomes Rick's friend, Louis Renault, says "Round up the usual suspects" near the beginning, and when Rick shoots Strasser right in front of Louis, he says it again, which tells us that he's willing to cover for Rick and he's now on Rick's side. This movie is a play on that phrase, because all these guys are indeed the usual suspects, the police figure "There's a crime we can't solve, let's go interrogate a few repeat offenders." For an even younger Benicio Del Toro, you can go watch your handsomest James Bond again, Timothy Dalton, in his second and last adventure License to Kill, in which Benicio is a particularly wild-acting evil henchman trying to kill Bond. That line "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the world he didn't exist" is attributed to the French poet Charles Baudelaire, but I give this movie tremendous credit for making it so popular. This was a rather cheaply made movie and its secret weapon, so far as director Bryan Singer was concerned, was cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel, who gave it a somewhat glossy, swanky look. Without Sigel, it would have looked more like a home movie, and it might have had a weaker effect. Finally, I can't help but notice: Keyser Soze, Kevin Spacey -- the same monogram! Tremendous choice, Jen, and a great reaction, many thanks.

[@clifton8929]

"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist" is a quote from the French Poet Charles Baudelaire. It's a perfect line to fit this fantastic movie, especially after you see the story was entirely made up of words from posters, the maker of a coffee cup, etc. Great review, Miss Jenn.

Go back and look at the very beginning of the movie, when Keaton is about to be killed by the mysterious figure. Watch the look of recognition on Keaton’s face. He was looking at Verbal! The other guys were already dead. Keaton left “Verbal,” Hockney was off elsewhere, and MacManus died in front of Keaton. Could it have been Hockney? Maybe. But the look on Keaton’s face was one of pure SHOCK. Hockney as a killer wouldn’t be nearly that surprising. It took me a couple of views to see it. Just BRILLIANT.

saw this movie in the theater when it came out. There was a literal audible gasp at the end when everyone realized Verbal was Keyser. People couldn't believe it (yet loved it at the same time). As for trying to figure out what parts are real and what are not, I would only suggest you take Director Bryan Singer's advice (and I'm paraphrasing what he said): it's less important to try and determine everything that was real or not real, or what could have even been possible to have happened etc. based on Verbal's/Keyser's account of what transpired, than it is to simply just enjoy the movie itself for what it is....entertainment.

[@StarkRG]

The _only_ parts of this story we can be sure occurred was the original lineup, the robbery of NY's Finest Taxi Service (and its eventual collapse), the five of them traveling to LA, and the smuggling boat being blown up. Those are the only parts that are either known or could be validated by the cops. Everything else is part of a story told to us by someone we know for a fact was lying. Sure, it would make sense that most of it occurred as he told it since it's easier to convince someone of a lie if most of it is a true story, but that's just supposition, we don't _know_ that any of it took place. Even the story about Keyser Soze's family could have been a complete lie, all we really know about him is that people in the criminal world are scared of him.

[@j.scottbrown8602]

This is a classic example of "The Unreliable Narrator" storytelling device. You come to the end of the story, and you don't know what actually happened because you find out all your information was given to you by a liar. Not the easiest form of storytelling to offer because you can piss your audience off, but if you do it well, this is what you get.

[@johncampbell756]

I live the commentary track. Vack and forth between great comments on how to make a low budget film look good, and mocking their errors. But the credits were outtakes of them yelling at each other. "The best lies are based on the truth. My theory is, everything he said was true except the nanes and that he was Keyser. But the events happened as shown. What you don't see is Verbal behind the ropes because he never went behind the ropes. He killed everyone. Keaton thought he was Keyser as he shot the scene dressed as Keyser. He learned the truth at a screening. Benicio showed up and just started talking in that accent. That was the writer at the line up who said, "In English." They were all laughing because Benicio kept farting.
