The Book Was Better: Repo Men Review

[@adrienjeffries1033]

When I first saw this movie, I was thinking why didn't the company just give jude law heart for free since he was injured on the job working for them?

[@QuikVidGuy]

because that would require corporations to value human life and responsibility

[@TheDigitalThreat]

this was my only gripe with this plot point/hole. He was on the job and his work equipement caused injury. Does workmans comp no longer exist in this world? Are all the lawyers dead? !

[@trapadvisor]

capitalism babbyyyy

[@astarteswillum5259]

Because the equipment Jude Law was given was faulty on purpose. It was done because he was going to retire. By replacing his heart with a company one the company now owns and controls him.

[@ilopominecrafter]

@@TheDigitalThreat my guess could be that as well the comp they give is so minimalistic it wouldnt pay for anything. Especially a heart… im more questioning why they would give him a heart that makes it hard for him to do his job to pay them off? (Unless its mafia where youll never pay em off).i would think they wouldnt want to lose a valuable asset like him that can get artiforgs back so easy

[@TheDigitalThreat]

Chekhov's Nero net... The ending wasnt out of nowhere. If you paid attention in the middle of the film the camera shows a screen going through an advertisement clearly talking about the net. It wasnt mentioned directly by any of the actors but unless you don't pay attention it was hard to miss. I never read the book and had no ideas how it was going to end but when I saw that ad I knew it would have something to do with it. Similar to chekhov's gun it was simply too out of left field to be background-dressing.

[@reneedailey1696]

I liked that the ending was akin to "Brazil". I personally feel that downer endings CAN be good when well-executed and not a cheap way out of tying loose ends together well, and those 2 movies I think, did it well.

[@rosexknight]

Not gonna lie, I actually enjoyed the ending of the movie. It's one of the only times that the "It was all a dream~!" has worked for me XD

[@joshuagraham2843]

[@faze_buendia9514]

I feel like the ads all over the place reflect the fact that ppl don't have to worry about trivial things like cholesterol or obesity because they can just fix it with cosmetic surgeries, enhancements, & replacements.

[@shawnwykoff8744]

Was Repo! The Genetic Opera base off the same book? I remember walking into a story and seeing it on sell. 2 years later, Repo Men came out.

[@mikeyunovapix7181]

I find the ending rather fitting due to the dystopian setting, not to mention, he's been a cold blooded killer in the beginning, repossessing artiforgs so many times with death being a usual outcome when vital organs are repossessed. Redemption at that point is often out of reach. And let's not forget that the society in this dystopian future has practically accepted the repossession of overly expensive artificial organs as something normal. Cyberpunk is dark by it's nature.

[@jonsingsbway5112]

but...but... Repo! The Genetic Opera? how can you talk about "Rip-Off Men" (as i like to call it) without even mentioning Repo! The Genetic Opera?

[@KrimsonRogue]

Yeah, I would have mentioned that, but I ran out of time and wasn't able to watch it. XP Maybe I'll revisit the issue one day.

[@jonsingsbway5112]

oh ok cool!

[@mikeyunovapix7181]

From what I've read, Repo Men was already being worked on when Repo! the genetic opera was in production. Similar ideas can be come up with without ripping off another, it's happened many times before with digital television being an example(last time I checked on it's history).

[@therabbitfollower5550]

Except the book it was based off came out after The Genetic Opera.

[@ryanm9105]

RabbitFlesh The author talked about the premise and title in an interview years before Genetic Opera was released. Shit happens.

[@shahzadahmed466]

I got suspicious when they blew up the data center where the patient/customers records were kept. Every IT guy knows that you keep a disaster recovery site and backups for this type of disasters. So the plot twist in the end kinda make sense.

[@Dmal2301]

At the beginning of the movie Jude Law asks how come something be both dead and alive at the same time. He finds out. His body is dead, but he still has neural activity. In the Matrix, Morpheus said real is only electrical impulses interpreted by the brain.

[@mikaelagirard]

I absolutely loved the book! It was a well told story and the ending was wonderful. The movie had it's own charms and I honestly didn't think the dream ending was a cop out. I think it fit in really well and coherently with the rest of the movie. I liked what the author said about writing the screenplay. He said that the book and screenplay were like twins raised in separate households. They had the same face but were completely different entities. I totally understood that after watching the movie. Great review Krimson! I've looked into a lot of books because of your channel. Keep it up!

[@megaflamer]

yes, dream ending cop-outs are incredibly frustrating when they happen

[@azurastar3223]

Actually that ending makes the movie for me. Sunshine and daisies in the ending of a movie are all well and good, but....this....the ending is a great twist. At least in my opinion. For the movie. I haven't read the book but it sound's interesting

[@doraselendic]

i completely agree

[@FriarTug]

If it helps you out, the last half of the review was a dream. Onion Cat used her hypnotic powers on you when you placed her in front of the salad. She was offended by the suggestion that she can't garnish a salad.

[@kayeplaguedoc9054]

Hmm, I was one of the people who saw the premise behind the film and pretty much just wrote it off as stealing the idea from Repo! The Genetic Opera, interesting to know that it might not have been the case; Repo! is still _technically_ older as the original stage version came about in 2002 but it wasn't exactly very well known so it can cast some doubt over accusations of "Who did it first"? Also the opening line to the book, for whatever reason, makes me think of a rather infamously fucked up line from "Flesh for Frankenstein," (AKA Andy Warhol's Frankenstein despite Andy Warhol not having anything to do with it save for bringing it stateside) "To know death, Otto, you must first fuck life... in the gallbladder!"

[@KrimsonRogue]

It seems I might have to go back and do a cover of The Genetic Opera as well at some point then, at least to talk about it. XD

[@tgiacin435]

The book may not have been ripped off from the concept, but apparently they were filming in the same studio, and tried to hire the actors from repo for repo men. Personally I found repo to be memorable. It had a unique look, and sound. And did so much with what little they had. Hell even Paris Hilton was extremely dedicated to the movie, not only did she come in, and nailed the audition, and had a scrapbook with how she saw the character, she also donated costumes, and saved the movie by making an appearance at a club, and donated her fee so that they could continue film. With repo men it looked kinda generic. Maybe I’m biased, but I wasn’t that impressed with repo men

[@brennalarosa]

The cat's reaction to the salad is adorable. And, WTF is up with that ending? Just... What the hell is that, even?

[@rouge1ful]

my favorite repo movie was repo the Genetic Opera. I enjoy a lot of the music, the Gothic/comic bookesq look and the effects are really nice. my only problem was the ending and how they never discussed Shiloh's illness being cured. I know an ending scene was cut but I think they could have extended it for another 10 minutes so they could tie up that plothole.

[@CinderDill]

+rouge1ful They did explain that in the released movie version. She was never sick, Rito refused Shilo her "medicine" and when she lived it proved to her that she never needed the medicine to begin with.

[@rouge1ful]

CinderDill well I need to find that version

[@paulhpurdy]

During the Opera it was straight up said that her "medicine" was poisoned.... It happens fast but.... May i introduce you to the man who made you sick He's poisoned all your medicine Shiloh: I can't breathe Rotti: You've got to fight through it Nathan: Someone please Please help my daughter Rotti: This will pass You've got to fight through it Nathan: I've deceived the only one that matters Shiloh: I need my pill Nathan: Need to know Rotti: You got to fight Nathan: It's not your fault Rotti: Believe me shiloh Nathan: It's me who failed you Rotti/nathan: It's his/it's my medicine Shiloh: It's your medicine Nathan: I'm the cause of all your sickness

[@reneedailey1696]

They did explain it. During the finale, when Rotti tells Shiloh her dad was poisoning her.

[@wilsonkierankitsune]

Because "downer ending equals good ending", a trope I'm quite frankly sick of. Thank you for calling this movie out

[@GoodNeutralEvilChaos]

Wilson Bennett I liked it not because of how downer the ending was but how clever the twist was. How many times was he knocked out? Once more that stated? Nope, he actually has brain damage. I thought that was very smart.

[@misseli1]

I HATE "It was all just a dream" fan theories! And to see it be the official ending of a movie makes it WORSE!

[@RealQwaqa]

Oh, come on. The ending is the best part! At the begining this movie is an exploration of the character and it stays that way until the end. The fact that the last 20 minutes represent happiest dreams protagonist could come up with tells us so much about him. This is the man who dreams of having weird surgery/sex with the half-cyborg woman. The man who dreams about his son tasing his wife. And the best part is that it ramps up slowly. Unlike Brazil which jumps into dream way too quickly and obviosly. Here you get acclimated to the craziness and do not question it just like the protagonist. The only way it could be improved is by cutting movie at the beach and forsing people to put it all together by themselves. But I guess it is too much. Sometimes you have to spell it out.

[@SirPloff]

If the movie was cut at the beach I am pretty sure fans of the movie would come up with that "It is the neural network thingie and we actually witness what the guy dreams about." Just like in minority report, the movie had an interesting plot that gets wasted and good actors that were wasted, or at least tried to make the movie better. The movie is still shit and the only thing between this ending and minority report ending is that they slap it in your face that the guy is dreaming all the nonsense. You are like those guys who say the reason why Ash in Pokemon doesn't age is because he is in a coma and dreaming all this lunacy.

[@RealQwaqa]

For the record, I really hate those stupid fan theories. And if the movie were to stop right after the glich part it would be sufficient enough. Everything was already set up. No need for unnecessary speculations.

[@SirPloff]

Then it might as well be like Total Recall. However the problem is that in Total Recall Arnold gets the memory transplant thingy, in Minority Report Tom cruise goes into the stasis things. In this we get no reason for the "It is all a dream" bullshit except that the producers wanted to have it to make it seem more clever and weird, only ending with shit that messes everything up.

[@RealQwaqa]

True. There was no clear transition. But I am still maintaining, that the real value of the ending comes from the fact that it is a way to learn the character from the inside. What do we know about him by the end? That his personal heaven is filled with knives, and, death, and lots, and lots of blood.

[@SirPloff]

Isn't the fact that the main character is pretty fucked up considering what his job is, and how he was willing to go murder people other people who don't have artificial gonads. When he steals the lung suit we don't get to see what happened to the guy who wore it, was he tased? I think he was chopped to pieces considering how he outright says to his boss he is going to kill everyone who come after him so this and his actions are already showing how mentally psychotic this character is, you don't need the added nerual linker bullshit to tell the viewer the character because the actor is good enough to do that already. It is an pointless ending.

[@CraftyAndyCreates]

"too Gorey" comes off to me as lol. 5:42 soda companies often give schools a lot of money to have their products on their grounds. Usually paying for gyms etc. Anyways, enjoyed the vid far as the twist of the movie, I can definitely find the message in it as the only way you will defeat the corporations is in your dreams. The movie would of been so much better considering the fight scenes and awesome gore that was lacking in a lot of films afterwards. I love the idea of a movie like this not having a uplifting ending because that's how change can be inspired when it comes to the real world we live in. I just think

[@SevScout]

To be fair, the "it was all a dream" WAS foreshadowed a hundred times.

[@tavila]

Bull guy got the idea by watching a certain Genetic Opera

[@Nikborman]

One of the most underrated movies of all time in my opinion. Also in the beginning when Remy talks about Schrodinger's cat many think he is comparing the cat to the state of the people who have artificial organs, but I think he is making a comparison with his final State. Is he alive or Dead really?

[@Elround4]

I, for one, loved the twist. It was a nice throwback to the dystopian theme of cyberpunk fiction. ^^

Yeah but I guess the ending meant that all the plot holes in the previous part didn't matter so much since it never actually happened.

[@alekazam1]

Someone please help me, I'm going fucking crazy. I can't find the ending of the book online anywhere. I've been searching for the past hour and all I can find is stuff about the movie.

[@rextyrrano5183]

10:53 salad is actually not good for cats. They're natural carnivores and as such can't digest fruits and vegetables.

Tbh, the ending really works for me, I mean, I hate it, in the sense that the characters were all in a happy place, but sometimes the sad ending works well (See Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, the dark side ending is the canon one and its amazing, except for one character death, she was so adorable). My friend showed me this movie, and I hated the ending at first, but once you think about it, that blow to the head would kill him, no question, and the fact that everything else afterwards seems really really easy kind of points towards the "not-real" ending. Like, he wrecked an entire group of people trained just as well as him, as well as breaking into the "castle" with extreme ease. The actions of the guards also suits him perfectly in that sense. Jake's change of heart made no sense when watching it either, he goes through this entire thing completely opposed to what Remy is doing, then goes "eh fuck it, the power of boners is stronger" and kills his boss? Plus, as I said, sometimes its nice to see the bad guys win.

Maybe its been too long since i saw it, but i felt pretty sure they actually set that ending up by mentioning it in passing abt the peaceful braindeath

[@Ant-hk3gh]

KrimsonRogue Alex Rider is by Anthony Horowitz and a great series, it's about a teenage spy and is kind of like James Bond in terms of villains and their deaths, in addition to settings (Alex ends up in a space station at one point, and is going to dissected for body parts in another). A difference being Alex is essentially blackmailed into spying. The film was a disaster, and that tag-line makes it sound even worse. Would you consider War of the Worlds at all?
