This is almost 30 years old. Still one of the greatest reveals in movie history !!

[@djlp2212]

The greatest trick this movie ever did was convincing everyone that Keaton was Keyser Söze. And like that (POOF), their minds were blown.

Even Gabriel Byrne thought he was Kaiser Sose until he saw the premier.

In the days before we were trained to expect twist endings, this was Monumental! And the car pulling away, while Couilon stews is perfect.

[@orangeandblackattack]

Agreed. That's what makes me smile when younger people watch movies they can't see a twist coming. The end of Casablanca is another..no spoilers..my #1 movie of all time and I was born 25 years after it came out. Lol

[@Alvan81]

@orangeandblackattack Nobody will want to hear it, but I think reactors/current audiences diminish it for themselves. Constantly focusing on figuring it out. IMO the director has planned a trip for you!! Why not just "keep your hands & feet inside the ride" and let it unfold?🤷🏽‍♂️ They/ we, often overlook key clues & dialog, while speculating.

[@markh4750]

Came to say the same thing. Before the 6th Sense and all of the other movies that came after this one, this was the standard for twist endings. Now we're all conditioned to expect this type of ending so it's more surprising when they play it straight.

@@Alvan81. That’s because morons tell them in previous comments there is a “twist ending” to the movie. “Oh! You like the Sixth Sense, then you’ll love Usual Suspects!” I just want to throttle them and scream STFU when they do that crap. It’s ruins the movie with just that little bit of foreknowledge.

[@ShadowTrailMedia]

"Hold your coffee."

[@willlevesconte3816]

The best thing about this movie is when you watch it again, you will see things that you missed almost every single time. When he first gets into the interrogation room, he is scanning the bulletin room, getting the story together. When he looks up at Kujan taking a drink of the coffee out of his cup, he's looking up and getting one more detail (Kobayashi). When Verbal looks at his watch in the flashbacks vs when Keyser looks at it in the beginning. These are just the tip of the iceberg and why this movie remains my all time favorite after almost 30 years.

The musical score during this scene is superb. That last note ending the movie is perfect.

[@creamnsugar6771]

Back in the day... My wife and I saw this movie when it was released in the theater, and we were dumbfounded just how amazing this story was! Some time afterwards, we went to my parents house for a family gettogether and they had the movie "Dr. Dolittle" starring Eddie Murphy playing in the background. Part of the premise of THAT story was Dr. Dolittle could communicate with the animals. Just by chance, a scene came up that took place in a animal shelter with various dogs & cats were locked in their cells. One by one, the animals said aloud what was on their mind and about their predicament... then, out of the blue a chihuahua who was alone in his cell happens to say, "I'm Keyser Soze".... WE BOTH JUST LOST IT!!😂😂😂😂

[@jessicaleblanc-nh1yl]

One of the best endings in cinema history. Well done & creative! One of the best scenes in a film. Thank you!

[@MrNorcal81]

Watch the way that Verbal, er Kaiser holds his cigarette European style. Another subtle confirmation that he is indeed Kaiser and not an American.. It's incredible that he made up the entire story by picking up things on the wall, the desk and around the room. Best reveal ever.

[@lionelhaack1226]

Kayser= Emperor in German and Soze = speech in turkish (the two origin of kayser soze that verbal said). This movie is a jewell.

[@rmweidner7596]

For everyone who commented - either in this compilation of reactions or in the comments - about how Verbal/Keyser played Agent Kujan and the cops, here's something that slips past almost everybody.... When this movie was made, cell phones weren't really a thing, so the fact that "Kobayashi" was there with the car to pick him up at exactly the right time means that Verbal/Keyser was SO ahead of everybody else that he knew EXACTLY how long it would take to get the story told and to be released. He wasn't only smarter than Kujan, but he played everyone involved for the entire movie.

[@Ocrilat]

When a twist ending is well-done, with plenty of clues that you dismiss or ignore, then the ending is very satisfying. It's rarely done well, and this film is probably the best.

[@HC-iu1vs]

You know, it seems most people try to guess the plot of movies instead of just enjoying the story.

[@Ocrilat]

@@HC-iu1vs For most people, if a film is good, it absorbs their interest. When it isn't good, people generally need something else to do. Here the mystery of 'who is Kaiser Soze' isn't really part of the plot. It's a gotcha at the end that gives the film a lot more depth by having a fun ending. I think here too that you're mistaking 'most people' with 'most reactors'. Most people don't do that at all. But KZbin reactors do it a lot.

[@HC-iu1vs]

@@Ocrilat No, I mean most people. most of the time , in a theater, they wont verbalize it. Too, Ive seen it often on "movie nights" with friends

[@Ocrilat]

@@HC-iu1vs I've been accused of that, but really if the film is crappy, I don't have anything else to entertain me. Plus, part of my job is to evaluate organizations, plans, etc. and another is making commercials, videos, etc. (I work at a full service ad agency). So I do enjoy the mechanics of a show/film and am aware of what works and what doesn't and why.

[@pdavies8551]

The screenwriter, Christopher McQuarrie, had come up with this great twist ending but he couldn’t figure out how to pull off the big reveal. He was working at a Law firm in LA at the time and they had a huge bulletin board in the break room chock full of random material. And just like Agent Kujan in the film, McQuarrie slowly came to the realization of how to reveal the twist while staring at that bulletin board.

[@adlwilliams]

Spacey played the evil genius in Usual Suspects and Se7en, both came out within a year of eachother, and were 2 of the best characters with best twists ever put on film. Spacey played both so well

[@kentgrady9226]

I normally don't attempt to guess the villain in films. But, I'm smug enough to declare proudly that I guessed correctly mid way through this film the first time I saw it. During the jewel heist, he shot one of the body guards with his supposedly afflicted hand. I literally said aloud right then and there that Verbal was the puppet master. For a moment, I thought it might have been a production continuity error. But the film was so flawlessly executed, I dismissed that possibility. To this day, this is my favorite film of all time. Brilliant stuff.

[@thebarba41]

McManus shot the guards, he shot the guy in the car, who was his competitor in the drug business. The lawyer even mentions that later, along the lines: "it wasn't expected, but my boss is very happy you killed his competitor". But yeah... these details are for the best haha

[@kentgrady9226]

@@thebarba41 Good catch. My mistake. I believe Keating was demanding the case. After he repeated himself several times, Verbal shot the guy from behind Keating. Poor muzzle discipline, but good marksmanship. In fairness, I don't think range safety was his top priority. He nevertheless did the shooting with his supposedly afflicted hand. There are a number of Easter egg clues throughout the film. But that was the one that really stood apart for me.

[@thebarba41]

@@kentgrady9226 lol it happens. But yeah, that was it. Keaton was pissed because he wanted the job done, but he didn't want to kill - Verbal, on the other hand was there EXACTLY for that reason. Like you mentioned, his shot is clean, with the "bad" hand and he doesn't flinch or shake. Incredible attention to detail, my brother!

I guessed it shortly after Verbal started his tale. The film had changed from a third part perspective to an unreliable narrator.

Agt. Kujan was so hooked on Keaton being the mastermind, from jump. Also, Kent was perceived as being “stupid” by Kujan’s assumption. Soze - a Devil he never knew existed - gave Kujan an excuse to get physical. He had no control over the situation, yet he congratulates himself. Kujan clearly overlooked the “fact” Kent was con-man, who swindle Soze’s bagman of his thousands in cash; promptly putting Kent in his crosshairs with the usual suspects.😂

[@martinzissou11]

It’s not as impressive to guess the ending as the reactors think, because this film came out 30 years ago and since then twist endings have become so common and also this film has been spoofed in things like scary movie and subconsciously that already puts a seed in your mind. Back in the day this hit differently.

[@pduidesign]

It’s funny how all the reactors “know” the ending…umm yeah because people told you it was a great movie that you must see. Maybe some told you would be surprised or it had a good ending. So obviously they are able to guess that there is something different about this movie. Yet when it first came out, no one knew. No one knew there was a twist ending. Other than the Empire Strikes Back, there were no twist endings in movies. The audience was genuinely surprised at the twist ending. Plus no one knew who Kevin Spacey was. The other stars were none and Kevin Spacey seemed like a “bit player”

[@jonmarrie9469]

Facts, me and my dad saw it before social media and spoilers, our jaws hit the floor with that twist, still one of, if not the best twist ending ever

[@mellman10]

SPOT ON WITH YOUR TAKE!! I saw it the first day it came out and I'm sure NO ONE in the audience knew what was coming. The suspense, twists and turns throughout how could anyone spend the movie trying to figure out unless they were hinted of a surprise. I still remember the loud gasps as Verbal feet straighten and when the shot moved to the lawyer in the car. But what really got me was at the end as the credits started and people got up there was loud applause!! I've NEVER been to see a movie and people applauded at the end! It still ranks in the top movies I have ever seen.

Funny, you can tell how many neurons the reactor has firing in their brains with how long it takes them to catch on when the detective is looking at all the names lol

[@hrussell9677]

Based on the editing of this video, that is very subjective. Each reactor edited their reactions differently, so there wasn’t much control over how long it took-clearly some took longer but not because their synapses weren’t firing. It’s because it was a clever twist that shocked people. So it was disbelief for many. You clearly can’t expect everyone to make the same realizations at the same time, as each person has different abilities to process information.

[@michaeldevito7099]

The ending organ is masterpiece

[@andreaspooky6183]

To be fair, nobody noticed the first hint Verbal is Soze: the golden lighter he takes back at the police pound, and there's only one using a golden lighter in the whole story. The whole story is probably not completely made up, but just romanced here and there: some particular are real, and they keep the backbone up. The chosen team to do the job, the boat with the hungarians, including the one knowing who Soze was and... the lighter ;-)

[@SkylineTTurbo]

All these people saying they figured it out, either read up on it beforehand or watched it before they "watched it" on youtube. I remember my brother told me about what happened in The Sixth Sense and this was before the internet was what it is today. I tried to wow my girlfriend at the time by spoiling the end right before it happened and she looked at me and said, someone told you. This flick does such a good job and keeping everything hidden from you, you're not going to just spontaneously figure it out without knowing something ahead of time.

[@shect1]

The one time I was late to the theater (my friend didn't like sitting through the previews) so I missed the first scene with Byrne's character, that scene that's there to mislead you and make you believe he really is Soze. I figured it out when they first meet Kobayashi. Everyone knows about this Soze except one guy, Verbal. He also had no reason to be there with those other guys in the lineup... of course the problem is that whole reason for that big operation was to get rid of someone who can id him but now he has all those cops who know what he looks like

[@toddmarryatt443]

I forgot while watching that it was a story being told. I thought it was the gimp but the story telling tripped me up. Lol

[@Sprite_525]

One of the best movie endings ever

[@Thunderball.Mcgillicutty]

I have a theory that the lawyer Kobayashi, AND Verbal Kint are brothers. Both took on the persona of Keyser Soze, at different times. That why when he killed his wife and kids and the other gangsters. They fled in different directions. That's why they always say he is in more then one place at a time. Also in the end car scene, they look at each other, like the job is done. Finally, that's why the guy on the boat had to die, he actually was the only person left who knew they were brothers. Just a theory, after watching this masterpiece for 30 years. I watched it in the theater when it came out, with 3 buddies.

[@PabloRichardFernandez]

So it seems there are two kinds of reactors - those who spend the entire movie trying to get ahead of the script and those who lie back and allow themselves to be swept away, as the film unfurls at its own enticing rhythm and at its own magnificent pace. The second is far, far more satisfying - for them and for us.

[@thierryregnier8883]

Best ending ever!!

[@anibaldk]

what people fail to realise is that Keyzer Soze actually fails. Yes, he gets out of that one but the whole point was to make sure nobody would ever recognise him. Also, he has no idea one of the Hungarians survived and a drawing was produced.

[@CJ87317]

I remember seeing this for the first time a few months after it came out. I'm not even sure I knew there was supposed to be a twist ending, and I was certainly stunned Verbal was Soze. People always argue over how much of the story was real and how much was Verbal making the whole thing up from scratch. I tend to lean toward most of it being real with names changed so as to make it all but impossible for them to track down who Redfoot, Kobayashi, etc. are later. Fiction is always better the more truth you put into it.
