[@deathstrike]

Of course they did, truth is truth isn't it? This movie was heavily influenced by a true "Lord of War" his name was Oliver North and him and Adnan Kashogi were two of the biggest arms dealers the world had ever seen. The Iran Contra affair now looked back as LESS than a decent footnote in history, was a rip in the curtain for America's true scope of their weapons sales from Vietnam, the Invasion of Afghanistan in the 80s by the Russians, the first Iraqi War, 9/11 and the "conflict" in Iraq, and now the Ukraine. So was Cage really acting? Or this is just the way America truly does business? Ethan Hawke said it the best "I'd tell you to go to hell, but your probably there already". After the 2 years of pandemic, the untold job losses, and government handouts, and now Ukraine. Are we ALL in hell?

[@deathstrike]

Edit: As a small description of Lt. Col Oliver North, he was the middle man accused of selling weapons worldwide to America's "friends". Subsequently being the fall guy and just like Cage, he eventually walked.

[@deathstrike]

@@slewone4905 I didn't say it was based on anybody, I said it was "heavily influenced". Meaning that there are stories from Gary Webb, Oliver North, and Adanan Khashogi that fundamentally make up Nicholas Cage's character. Nothing wrong with a writer drawing inspiration from real world characters. And the people I listed ARE real. Khashogi was an arms dealer, Oliver North was in the famous Iran Contra Scandal and the middleman for the US Government, and Gary Webb was a journalist and writer who did expose the CIA and other high ranking members of the US Government and showed the involvement of the US in the arms trade. In fact, it's well known that the biggest arms dealer is the US Government. Cage said that during his brief "detainment".

Plato recounts the debate in Republic (from memory) - it's worth reading, because it demonstrates that (a) the litany of endemic problems with politics, bureaucracy, & government that plague us now, have plagued us for millenia, (b) human nature doesn't change, and (c) *_all forms of government inevitably become corrupt._* *CRITICAL CAUSAL FACTORS (PSYCHOPATHY; POLITICAL PONEROLOGY) ONLY A FEW DECADES OLD* One critical advantage we have today, is our slowly developing understanding, starting only a few decades ago, of critical aspects about human nature & nature of evil previously unknown.

In summary: The idea that government corruption is a permanent fact of life is an unproven assertion (claim, statement) based on ignorance, propaganda, misinformation, disinformation, capitulation, and thousands of years of systematized manipulation, control, tyrann, oppression.

Brian MadGil Well, why is he acting in Z-grade movies now? Seen "Left Behind" ? He must be getting pretty desperate to act in such fanatical Christian propaganda. Btw, his real name is Nicholas Coppola. Had he not been Francis Ford Coppola's nephew his acting career would never have taken off. Francis Ford Coppola has enough weight in Hollywood he cast his daughter in the Godfather Part III - which she almost singlehandedly ruined with her abysmal acting. How Sofia Coppola ever made a career as a director herself is another mystery but with "good connections" you can make a career. For Nicholas Cage that worked for little more than a decade and now the gig's up. Nepotism is a factor you shouldn't ignore in Hollywood.

"I would tell you to go to Hell, but I think you're already there." I don't read that as a potshot, a last insult before leaving. I don't think either Yuri or Jack are saying that Yuri has won or come out of this on top, Yuri said himself he fully appreciates the seriousness of his situation. He's not "winning", he's lost everyone he loves and can't even risk getting attached to new people, he's had to settle with accepting he is a horrible person and can not change because he does the people who he sells weapons to will come kill him. Jack's right, he's in hell, he may avoid jail, but he's life is now a prison. The way Jack delivers the line, it's like there's a hint of sympathy in his voice. Like there's no need to punish Yuri because his life is now a punishment itself.

[@rmb3211]

One of the best scenes in a movie ever. I love that they constantly one up each other and Cage smugly thinks he won and so does Hawk until Hawk comes back with the last line. Cage's whole existence is Hell.

[@aguyontheinternet9095]

Honestly cage wasn't smug about "winning" but more explaining the REAL rules of the game Hawk is playing. The one liner fell pretty flat but that's probably because a counter one-liner would just dampen the scene. Example: "I'd tell you to go to hell but I think you're already there." "Congratulations on catching up to me the day my brother thought it'd be smart to try and steal a grenade from the african warlord buying it." It'd just be unnecessary to the scene. Both could still engage in wordplay but also both had already said their piece by that point and that last little action of the door knock wouldn't have capped off the scene so well if the banter continued.

[@xikungao2376]

Really shows the superb writing of this movie and how well developed these two characters are. Valentine is so hunger for justice and naive that he is truly happy and blindly believe that Yuri is finally getting what he deserved. On the other hand, Yuri knows he is still needed as long as the US government, who in a sense is his actual employer, still has an interest in funding the proxy war of his customers and WILL bust him out of jail so he's not even fazed by it when Valentine mentioned his crimes. He is, however, an empty husk of a man who is all about himself and literally 5 people around him: his parents, his wife, his son and his dead brother. With all of these 5 people now either disowned him or died, he simply doesn't care about anything else and acted indifferent in front of Valentine's threats. This scene completed the character arch of these two perfectly. Yuri, started as a nobody, now completely lost his last bit of humanity after that last deal that went wrong. At this point he has funded other people to kill each other, funded the enemies to kill his own countrymen, personally executed his competitor with the help of a customer and pretty much killed his own brother. He became the "successful monster" he always subconsciously dreamed of when he started looking at news report of militias slaughtering innocent lives and wondered when those militias could be paying for his merchants. Valentine on the other hand, simply came to realization and probably accepted the fact that in the end evil prevails. All he did was for nothing and the glory he sought when he started investigating Yuri was paperweight when the result didn't even bother Yuri.

Everyone makes choices and their lives are shaped by it. Families, business, hobbies, interests, causes, things we hold dear. Some cheat, others never marry, some start new businesses, others protest, others do all of it. With Yuri it seems he wanted to go legit, but in the end couldn't pull it off, when his wife pressed him to do so. Blame his hard life back in the USSR, blame the hardships in America and make a comparison to children in the ghetto becoming gang members, but in the end it is *always* the choices we make. Yuri, in the end, may not care for company other than these man he deals with, African twin sisters about to have sex with him, brown-brown (yes, I know it was at gunpoint), and the thrill of the sale. Remember how he always enjoyed getting past South Korean checkpoints up to the North to sell those Communist-made bullets, the Israeli-made Uzis to Muslims, and at the end the umbrellas in the desert. That shot of him at the start and end amidst a burning/burnt out village with TONS of AK-47 shells everywhere and nothing but a briefcase shows a lack of caring or not enough caring. He made the choices of being nearly killed by Simon's men, in danger with narco drug lords, dealing with dictators, terrorists, rebels, and more. These aren't the choices of a man who heads up production at Glock, Lockheed Martin, or the like. Incidentally the line about your first gun sale being like sex: "Selling a gun for the first time is a lot like having sex for the first time. You're excited but you don't really know what the hell you're doing. And some way, one way or another, it's over too fast." is just the way I remember it.

[@Lone_Wolf91]

Tigerman1138 Yeah that makes seance. Some people call Walter White from Breaking Bad evil. Yet I don't think he was because his choice of becoming a drug dealer came from wanting his family not to struggle after he was gone knowing the cancer may kill him soon. This might not of been the best choice but he did it with good intentions. Yuri however continued even after he had more than enough to live off of and never cared or thought about how many people were dying as a result of his actions. Even going to the point of continuing after he's completely alone.

Thing about Nic is he's brings 110% to ever pretty much every role, regardless of budget/quality. So when you have a well written, intense character he blows it out of the park. When you have someone whose not as well written/defined, his intensity just makes them come across a little crazy. and then his real star shines when he has to play an actual crazy person. Then the magic happens. :p
