LORD OF WAR Clips - Part Two (2005) Nicolas Cage
The 20-year arms dealing career of Queens, N.Y., outcast Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage) serves as a window onto the end of the Cold War and the emergence of worldwide terrorism. He finds himself reassuring his more ethically challenged younger brother, Vitaly (Jared Leto), while adeptly sidestepping the pursuit of federal agent Jack Lawrence (Ethan Hawke). The globetrotting arms dealer also pursues the woman of his dreams, supermodel Ava Fontaine (Bridget Moynahan).
Release date: September 16, 2005 (USA)
Director: Andrew Niccol

Used it more because it is a silly idea that kids have until they read history and start to understand how the world at large really works later down in life once they keep up with politics, conflicts and current agendas. Kind of like seeing life from a tinted glass then stepping around it later and being hit in the face by the harsh truth. History is full of such cases from the time we went from cavemen to medieval men and discovered weaponry and medieval warfare.

That last scene is so brutally honest about how the world actually works that im surprised it even got made. You'd think some of the hollywood/Washington elite would rather keep details like that a little less talked about.

[@peterisawesomeplease]

At its heart it is honest but its so oversimplified its almost a lie. Yes the US government is the largest seller of weapons and yes we often sell those weapons to people we know will do evil with them. That part is true. But the democratic process does at least to a degree control the damage. A world without restrictions on arms on sales would be even worse. The character is wrong that evil simply prevails. The amount of human suffering per person has fallen dramatically over time and will continue to fall. The people trying weather its the kid giving his life to stop on masacer, or the cop catching the arms dealer, or the voter who considers the value of their vote carefully are slowly buy powerfully making a difference. Its easy to see to corona virus or Trump and think no progress is being made but those are blimps. There has never been more freedom, lack of poverty, and peace per person in history than there is today.

We have also made tons of progress on human rights. There has never been more opportunities for non-whites, LGTB people and women. There are still many problems. But we are making progress.

the movie is super heavy in ideas that many people find dist tastfull. as such i dont think it will ever be a main stream movie. but just like requim for a dream, it will last the test of time as a "you got to watch this" movie. many will only watch it once. but it will stay with them. hope your day is the best today and tomorrow, and your gole work out.

[@arturozi4476]

It's about an actual character - Viktor Bout - former USSR army officer. Interesting fact: in 2008 was captured in Bangkok and in 2009 extracted to USA. In 2022 was exchanged for Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan that were kept in russian prison convicted of spy activities in Russia. He is one of this kind of people who you would not want to stay in the way, never ever in any circumstances.

“They’re firing bullitz at our bullitz” 💀🤣

2:33 they're firing bullets at our bullets Gets me everytime

[@vgm_central]

its one of those movies where the sound effects and music are cranked to 120 dB but the voice is clutched to 13 dB

[@sonny9054]

Watching this after all these years, I realize how astonishing this is.

[@ray-0249]

He’s not evil he’s just reality.

[@ilyabykov2437]

An reality is evil.

[@griffin3508]

This was one of my favourite movies of all time. Made nicholas cage a legend in my mind.

“Who will know?” “We will.” Fantastic writing

"There are 550 million firearms in the world today. That's 1 gun for 12 people on the planet. The question is: how do we arm the other 11?"

[@dementiabiden1621]

My oh my this movie aged well especially after recent events.

[@kettle_of_chris]

_They're firing bullets at our bullets!_ Fucking love this movie

[@anthonybari1328]

When Valentine started to lean over at the end, the clip cut him off before he said "I would tell you to go to hell, but I think you're already there."

[@danieldevito6380]

Such a CRIMINALLY underrated movie

the final morb..... 😔✊🏻

[@Mike-oxlong1029]

I love how the pilot and copilot are flying the plane at the same time

[@johnc6738]

Depending on the size of the plane, as well as the age it might take both to control that beast.

[@eveillanderson]

'personally i blame MTV' possibly the most insightful line in the entire movie

[@aom808]

This movie, director, crew and Cage are beyond awesomeness. It doesn't age and still relevant today. You know its a good movie when it makes the audience likes the "bad guy" better than the incorruptible agent.

[@vikkipakki]

This movie has one of the best uses of voiceovers.

[@LornFortheForlorn]

9:27 the warlord in this moment had great amounts of honor and respect. the look he gives yuri is the warrior’s respect. in a way, the warlord was saying through his look: you’re a soldier now.

[@HeretixAevum]

8:03 I know this is supposed to be a serious, dramatic scene... but that guy holding the gun sideways with that facial expression cracks me up every time.

[@el_chico1313]

0:47 i think nicolai pretty quickly managed to disguise his disgust towards the sadistic baptiste with professional salesmanship

[@pabloleon9884]

Yeah! That's quick thinking right there

[@travel_fun_food.]

"Biggest arms dealer is your boss" best line ever and true depiction

[@stevenkimdmd]

No he is delusional alright. The fact of the matter is, the "necessary evil" is always replaceable. And the bigger evil can pretend justice has been served.

[@davidthorp01]

And yet, what’s better than replaceable, but reliable? That’s why he got out of 98% of the shit he got in. He never seemed to have perfect, what he did have was steady, consistent, reliable and functional product that, at the end of the day _might_ do some good, will do some evil, and frankly does what it’s told.

[@Asghaad]

you cant replace decades of business contacts and trust built with paranoid dictators just like that ...

[@JBrander]

He has a lot of connections and he is really good at what he does, he can't just be easily replaced. That's why they literally let him walk away after he got caught. He's not delusional. He KNOWS he's a war asset for the very president that the agent is working for. Thus the quote "i'm a necessary evil"

[@texanplayer7651]

Only problem is, you need a bigger evil to begin with, and even if you find him, you have no garantee he'll do a better job than the first "necessary evil" you want to dispose of

[@Supperdude9]

Maybe, but he's known. He's reliable, he's traceable, and he doesn't outright hate the US. Get rid of him, and maybe someone who HATES the US takes his place and they go out of their way to hurt US allies or US installations. The US tolerates him because he sells equally. If he was strictly anti-US then they'd care. Then they'd let him rot in jail.

[@conflickt3130]

I see Nicolas Cage screaming in a thumbnail, I click.

[@freeman5484]

i love nicholas cage, and would like to see him in epic movies again... One of my fav actor.

[@pjdiver3]

When a RUSSIAN asks "Are you fucking mad?", it's time to re-evaluate your life

[@BiscuitDelivery]

"I'd tell you to go to hell, but I think you're already there." Thanks for cutting the best line in the movie

Damn that guy unlocked the golden ak47 he is legit

[@xzaratulx]

Nicholas Cage is one of the best actors there are ! That movie was a master piece

[@larryfish9272]

Gotta love when nic cage actually tries in a movie he does.

[@Logan11thMEU]

8:06 guy gets shot like 20 times in the chest with 7.62 x 39 and can still pull a pin out of the granade. Would be dead the moment he hit the ground

[@stateofopportunity1286]

People don't die like they do in video games.

[@sumvs5992]

Adrenaline can be a hell of a thing

[@anthonyruiz7925]

There was a SEAL who got shot around 20 times and shot the Talis that shot him and lived.

[@cell4224]

@@stateofopportunity1286 Taking even a few bullets from a 9mm to the chest will incapacitate anyone. If you want proof you can go look at the "police activity" channel. It is an archive of bodycam footage from police officers in action. In many of these videos an armed suspect tries to fire weapons on the police which almost always leads to them getting shot (some die, some survive). Every single time the police upon fire on an armed suspect it always pans out the exact same way. The suspect usually takes between 3-8 shots to the chest in the span of 1-2 seconds and only functions for a second before dropping to the floor, awake but incapacitated. It takes a while for them to die by bleeding out (if they die), but they are almost completely unable to act after they initially drop, they can't even move their hands in the direction of their gun. Videogames are actually surprisingly accurate in this regard, you take bullets without it affecting you (atleast not immediately) until your body gets too traumatized and you immediately drop. You don't take multiple rifle caliber rounds to center mass, drop down and still be capable of acting for 20 seconds afterwards. You stop the moment you hit the floor, being able to even move a finger at that point is impressive.

[@fomori2]

@@cell4224 This is a good article on why the FBI switched to weapons with more stopping power in the '80's. Two men were able to continue to fire back, and even kill a few agents, after being shot several times. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_FBI_Miami_shootout

I love this movie, it's so wholesome how he's giving back to those in need ❤

[@Charlesbabbage2209]

Looks like Chicago.

[@applebite9715]

Though movies are fictional but such movies as Lord Of War isn't totally fictional, Such movies influence vast majority of world and such movies always maneuver history events. Nothing closer to reality.

[@bonec85]

one of the greatest movies in histoty ever and underrated nowadays its would get an Oscar 100%

[@tigerjonn]

Man Nicolas Cage was on fire right here..... Nick Cage has these years where he pumps out bunch of really great movies, and a few years of disappointments.... Remember when he made The Rock and Con Air.... He also made Lord of War and The Weatherman in the same year, and I think he did a great job in both,....

[@airsofter2247]

The bit where everyone's grabbing for the grenades always makes me wince haha

9:28 This is the best line in the entire movie.

[@BK-lx2zd]

Man, Chief Boden was a scary guy back in his younger days. I get why Firehouse 51 respects him so much.

[@yidy1]

The General was impressed that Nicholas didn't care about the kid he killed, but the gun...

[@dreadlord8628]

This is definitely my pick for Mr. Cage's finest performance ever, this role of his is my favourite and i haven't even scene the movie yet.

I don’t think Brittney Griner is trans

[@tankmaster1018]

Both this film, and Kickass (and Raising Arizona if we're gonna go back a bit) are just perfect for Nicholas Cage... They make the best of, and elevate his ridiculously over the top acting style to a degree that is just brilliant! Edit: "Bullets, Guns, Grenades... Hooray!" -Demonic Santa Claus from Hell

[@nadiadelphi6850]

Raising Arizona is my very favorite movie of all time!!!! The Coen Brothers best film in my opinion because it was so underrated. It deserved so much more praise than it got.

We really need a sequel to this movie.
