The Rover - Midgets Death

[@gtwrmw1978]

Once he threw that rock, he was as good as dead.

[@andreaforcella1094]

Wow, never thought of this, but it makes sense. Thanks !

[@curiositycloset2359]

Yep.

[@airsir9559]

@@muhacnt7988 once the world collapses, insanity and boredom is all anyone is left to contend with. One of the main themes and pretty much the strongest theme in the film is trying to find purpose in a purposeless world. Guy Pearce's only purpose in life, at this point, is retrieving his car so he can bury his last love. He's a "Rover."

[@american9008]

he shoots him 'cause him throws a stone to the dog

[@theatomicghostbr]

i think he would shoot him one way or another but great catch.

Yes.

I had to watch this amazing film a second time to fully grasp everything. Notice the look of sheer HATRED he gives the midget after throwing the rock at the dogs.

[@KeeGan1926]

Holy shit I never noticed that! Makes so much sense!

[@nela04]

only dog owners will understand this great movie

[@woodsmanforlife1677]

Right you are!

[@orangypteco8858]

I dont think so. He offers money for the guns which means he intended on paying and leaving amicably.

[@iliafigueroa4820]

@@orangypteco8858 A combination of both. He was already pissed after the rock incident and was anxious (look at his body language) and after the dealing, just decided to blow the little people away

[@grammernotzi]

Moral of the story: 1) Don't piss off a guy who likes dogs. 2) If you're selling weapons in a post world, don't leave them loaded. 3) Duh!

[@iliafigueroa4820]

And NEVER deal alone. Have backup outside. Then again…his mind was little. 😂

[@iliafigueroa4820]

2) in ANY world. Try oakland or nigeria.😂

[@KrazyFang1]

Realizing on rewatch he doesn't kill him just for the gun, its cause he abuses the dogs

[@wind-upbird9513]

Brutal film. I like the opening car chase where the car turns over and you see it pass the window from inside the bar.

[@TheCrusaderRabbits]

The original John Wick.

[@sglancy12]

It wasn't until watching this clip I connected him throwing that rock at the dogs to Guy Pierce killing him. Watching Pierce now I can see that he's struggling not to kill the guy from the moment he throws the rock, only holding off because he's got to get to guns.

[@felixcarter836]

Guy Pearce is a monster in this film!

[@bastienmillecam3183]

+Felix Carter Well, it's sort of a commentary on all of us... Beside he has redeeming qualities

[@pacificareigns]

He kills him because he's a dick to the dogs.

[@Godzilla52]

I can't take credit for coming up with this, but I'd argue the movie's actually about love. Guy Pearce's character does all this shit because his dog was the last thing he loved in the world and he wants to give it a proper burial.

[@elchewbacco]

Sorta

This part caught me so off guard lol I just started laughing

[@LamontMcLaurinJr]

After watching the movie then rewatching this scene,, now I know why he killed the midget.. and it's not because he didn't have $300

[@kepler-we7dt]

What an excellent, unexpected scene. It took me awhile to digest what I just seen, but it became clear that there are no heroes in this movie.

[@juxtaposition7904]

Nihilism on steroids for sure. It’s why it didn’t do well in the theaters and that it came out around the same time as Thunder Road. Two movies that are both post-apocalyptic and well done but very different from each other.

[@maxcady7851]

This movie was excellent. Saw it on Netflix and decided to give it a go. I was hooked from the opening scene. Guy Pearce is a badass in this. And Robert Pattinson is barely recognizable.

This scene was where I fell in love with this movie

[@barnacleboi2595]

So you like movies automatically if someone shoots a midget in the brain? Kidding lol. But still worried.

[@Bouranga92]

This movie is an amazing lesson on not coping with anger, false letting-go, denial and swallowing the consequences. Everybody has his/her second there, a pair, only Eric (Pearce) goes alone. Then when he finally finds a partner in action, Rey (Pattinson), he manipulates him and then turns into a monster.

[@airsir9559]

He’s a ruthless and hard hearted son of a bitch but I love it’s heavily implied that he was the type of man that once loved and might still. It’s just that the world’s random acts of cruelty has driven him to close his heart. But even then he still feels and still has a conscious at the end of the day. He’s violent and angry but all his all his violence and anger is dedicated to trying to find his car so he can bury his dead dog. He just wants to bury last remaining companion. And by the end of the film he ends laying to rest another loyal companion. Even though he starts off treating Ray like he’s annoying stray he has to tolerate, towards the end he starts to feel genuine sympathy for Ray. He relates to to his plight of being lost and alone and seems to genuinely want to protect him. And in the end he laments his death, weeps over his body and mourns for two rovers.

One thing I didn’t understand is why he would think he had $300 when the world is pretty much over lol. & second he had to be the dumbest arms dealer lol, why would he give him a gun with a loaded clip
