Rock n Rolla - Piano Scene

The piano scene from the movie Rock n Rolla.

[@Godzilla52]

Ritchie needs to leave hollywood and come back to doing what he does best.

[@scotthinchliffe5741]

Have you seen covenant? Richie still killing it

[@DummyYEEEAAHHHHH]

This and his other films have distribution through production companies based in Hollywood...he just doesn't shoot there....he doesn't self fund his projects...he takes studio funding like every other big director in Hollywood.

[@MrBraddles3128]

The script writer for this film needs a fucking medal.

[@jackrussell1232]

I love this scene. It shows that the father and son are flip sides of the same self-destructive coin. They hate each other and are disgusted by each other’s chosen lifestyles, but are both victims of the same addiction manifesting itself in two oppositional forms.

[@dansavage453]

Well thought out... I never sussed that!

[@caim9986]

What addiction?

[@benhall2235]

@@caim9986 crack for johnny quid and power or money for the old man.

[@samsonhaze6595]

Yeah, he first describes his father, “seduced by illusions of grandeur, a gold packet of king size, with a regal insignia” Perfectly foreshadowing him being the secret informant that they’ve all been after for years, seduced by the crown, seduced and their offer of indemnity/power, and the fact that he pretends to be everyone’s loyal friend, which is a lie) Then he describes himself, plain in black and white (he always tells it like it is), and he’s addicted to the self-destructive cycle of trying to kill himself/his pain with all the drugs. And “that which starts sweet ends bitter, and that which starts bitter ends sweet” mirrors their respective positions (and our first impressions of them) at the start of the film, vs. where they end up by the conclusion, still ironically mirror opposites.

[@LoneWolf-wp9dn]

junkie was more lucid than most sober people

[@leroloralarlora]

which actually is the case for a considerable amount of junkies. not all of them tho obviously

[@noudjuhh97]

You see that pack of virginia killing sticks on the end of the piano? All you need to know about life is retained within those four walls You will notice that one of your personalities is seduced by the illusions of grandeur A gold packet of king size with a regal insignia, An attractive implication toward glamour and wealth. A subtile suggestion that cigarettes are indeed your royal, and loyal friends And that Pete, is a lie Your other personality is trying to draw your attention to the flipside of the discussion, Written in boring bold black and white is the statement that these neat little soldiers of death, are in fact, trying to kill you, and that Pete, is the truth Oh, beauty is a beguiling call to death and i’m addicted to the sweet pitch of it’s Siren, That that starts sweet ends bitter, and that which starts bitter, ends sweet. That is why, you and i, love the drugs. and that is also why, i cannot give that painting back

[@taylorahern2714]

+Noud van den Wildenberg That's the GENIUS of Guy Ritchie for you, right above, contained within those 14 lines. Brilliant!

[@happentodie]

+Taylor Ahern its a lovely piece of writing but i still dont know exactly what hes trying to say , i got caught up in all that symbolism and wordsmitherery

[@chatroux7311]

happentodie - in life we are fooled into thinking that glamour, wealth is going to make us happy but these things are just temporary fixes. The simple, basics things in life are all we really need to make us truly happy. However, society is fcked up and tries to fool us into thinking we need to have all the frills - loads of cash, fast cars and all the other pointless shit. Jonny loves the drugs to escape this sad reality. Knowing this he still lits up a cigarette. He knows it's not good for him and that glamour, wealth won't make him happy yet he still enjoys it to some extent. He doesn't give a f about the painting but his greedy stepfather and the other dumbfucks do and that's why he doesn't want to give it back.

[@Svidrigailov1]

happentodie Basically a concise explanation of why we choose the left-hand path (e.g. Drugs, crime, gambling) even though it'll kill us

[@ravinggranny123]

One of the best monologues Guy Ritchie has ever written!

[@shanedpain7734]

The Cookie monologue, when the Americans are looking for Johnny is decent too!

[@RazorCatJinx]

I actually think that little piano melody would never sound as good without the monologue. And that Pete, is the truth… XD

[@AdrianMartinez-ve2kq]

Nice

[@gregkendrick3286]

All I can say is Guy Ritchie is a mad genius conveying truth to us in his own way

[@brolicious6950]

"England's Dreaming - Clint Mansell" You are all welcome.

[@bLeed4us2Live]

The composition which is being played during the segment? It didn't strike me as familiar until I read your comment. Then all of a sudden I notice the very distinct mansell style. Thanks for pointing that out

[@aggiepaggie8381]

Omg thank you!

[@canitakeapicturewithyou]

This is one of my favorite movie scenes. Reflects the cruel truth. Hauntingly beautiful

[@MrJoromekiq1]

Don't fuck with Abramovich !!

[@amirebrahimi1039]

Oh, beauty is a beguiling call to death and I'm addicted to the sweet pitch of its siren.

[@vanezburkett8212]

I hate how many people I know that haven't seen this movie

[@Anonymous-Joker74]

Oh you are something special,Mr Johnny Quid 😂👌🏼

[@Maddoxxx]

anyone does notice the russian billionaire in this movie is similar with mr. roman abramovich?

[@herrsiebenstreich9352]

+Maddoxx x roman abramovich is one of the most famous, if not the most famous russian oligarch, and that's why guy ritchie used him to portrait the russian. very well recognized :)

[@ПетрЕрмаков-х7й]

Nobody in other countries knows any russian billionaire, except Putin, of course

[@Anonymous-Joker74]

Herr Siebenstreich You mean infamous in Abramovich case.

[@Anonymous-Joker74]

Петр Ермаков Facilitated his wealth 👀 spot on ⭐️

[@TRAVOR96]

As far as i know, Ritchie says that Uri Omovich is a collective image of thr russian oligarch, without accent on the only one man

[@finnjones2028]

Beauty is the beguiling call to death and I'm addicted to the sweet pitch of it's siren...

[@ty814]

Such a satisfying scene. Lenny deserved that.

[@mariolisa2832]

I’m just amazed that someone who has grown as old as Lenny while still at the top, didn’t sense the danger he was in… Maybe he was going senile

[@ufoporno951]

that is pure WISDOM

[@hliast.4591]

Best scene from the movie for me

[@joshkier]

"I'll buy this place you shlag."

[@ComfortableTool86]

i think this is a simplified version of Chopin's Nocturne in F minor Op. 55, no. 1

[@Simofische]

THINK BEFORE YOU DRINK BEFORE YOU DRIVE ME MAD

[@tracephage]

the real moral is: don't piss someone off who has enough money to clear a golf course

[@chris9vikus]

"...Victor.....Please.....come to join us...."

[@LeninovaPles]

Its not, as if you saw the movie, you would know that poor bastard Lenny had nothing to do with disappearing of the lucky picture and it wasn't actually the worst thing that will happen to him in future. So the real moral is: what seems sweet at first is a distraction, an illusion of happiness whereas the boring facts are in fact the truth and righteous path. But this lesson is invisible to most, as subtly suggested by awe of Johnny's friend and 69 thumbs up underneath your comment:) No offence

[@Makarov287]

This scene is poetry

[@carpediEMILY]

this isn't my favorite movie, but this scene is absolutely brilliant.

[@AnglOsAxOn2]

Having waited for ages, wheres the sequel? Come on mr Richie we love your work.

[@alexman378]

He says the script is ready, he just needs the funding for it. Many of the cast members though have gotten a lot more expensive since then (this was Tom Hardy’s big break for example), and the film didn’t do well, so it’s unlikely we’ll see it, unfortunately.

[@shaegse]

Oh, beauty is a beguiling call to death and I'm addicted to the sweet pitch of its siren. That that starts sweet ends bitter, and that which starts bitter ends sweet.

[@Abraxis86]

Whilst you're right, you're sort of forcing Tracephage into a position of opposition as an excuse to show off your interpretation (which is right so far as I can tell) when in fact he was just making a joke rather than seriously trying to analyze the scene. Not sure why you decided to involve him at all if not for a kick to your ego or to create controversy. Still, good job putting it into words, scenes like this, I always feel the message, but can never summarize it so well as that.

[@TheNirvan999]

they have a piano in bar , How cool is that 😊😊😊

...That is also why you liked this piano scene; @YT; Pete.

[@childofthesun32]

I would love to meet someone that can speak like this.. But I guess this kind of shit has to be written professionally and practiced. People don't speak like this spontaneously, and the ones that think they do - they don't.. And everyone they know thinks they're an absolute bellend.

I hate the growing popularity of the term "tryhard"..!&#%..@Bull3tlaag...Those who use the term 'try-hard' as a negative slight towards something they have never done and/or wont do..should be KNEE-CAPPED like Lenny did in this scene. If you didnt grasp the clever message and the correlation between the two seperate events in this scene..just say that...dont knock another Mans artistic expression.

[@Ephigenia16]

This piano scene has less than half of the views that the Twilight piano scene has? Aww. :/

What the fuck are they made of

[@macbeth8134]

What is the name of the song?

[@Bull3tLaaag]

my personal opinion is this scene was way too try-hard to be interestingly deep, so i usually tune out when he's talking...

[@DuncanDisordely]

@ShamsherKhan82 Fairplay you are completely right, but on the other hand getting savagely beaten with a golf club doesnt seem to be glamourising the results of a criminal life.
