I hadn't had my jaw drop from a closing scene in a long time from a film. This film, despite a lot of people saying they didn't like it, I found it pretty damn good.
Zach Quinones this movie sucks, but the last lines what woke the fuck out me me, i been saying the same fucking shit about american, only i would say "you think america is the best country? fuck america, america is only good for one thing, money and get the fuck out of here, there is no home of the free, or equality here."
+Zach Quinones Everyone in the theater laughed and then got up. It was if we'd all received the ultimate anti-pep talk and were now on our way to get our fucking money.
People hated this movie because it wasn't what they expected. People of a certain demographic heard Johnny Cash in the trailer and saw that it was a mob movie set in New Orleans and thought it would be right up their alley. Then they realize at the end that the gratuitous violence wasn't in the movie for the sake of violence but as a tool to critique the United States and capitalism. They felt duped that their own interests were used to make them confront the harsh reality they've continually refused to confront.
+Aaron Cubitt I agree. This world is fucked and it's too perplexing to even think about. All we can do is make sure we stay real and hope that we rub off on the people around us in some kind of good way.
Kobe blew a 3-1 lead. Collectively, we aren't genetically dumber. But there are a lot of people who are starting to believe that it is okay to accept simple answers and never strive for the truth because it "takes too much effort" This way of thinking is especially facilitated by social media and careless "meme" sharing without ever checking facts. It is a multitude of things really. We aren't the dumbest generation, but things can get dangerous if we don't fix the current habits in our culture.
@Aaron Cubitt ok, I completely agree with your point. However if the made "Spiderman vs Nicki Minaj's Fat Ass", I'm sorry bud, but I would go see that. And yell fart jokes through the whole thing, just sayin.
bones22j in the book cogan’s trade, his character Jackie, is a very dark and brutal individual. In the movie they glamour him up a bit. In the book he’s a lot worse and a really really dark human, someone you would not want to get into an altercation with... so pay him his money
Great moment and scene, but I think people are forgetting the best part of it. It's not just the ending but where you hear the Line "this business is a business of relationships" & Pitt responds, "Yeah and everyone loved Markee." That shit right there tells you the entire movie. Everyone will SAY shit like "community" or "relationships" or love, but all that goes out the window when it comes to money. God bless the USA, right?
+MrCellFury I gave it a A- its a semi-FANTASTIC 'film' point being, it's one of very FEW (in FACT perhaps the ONLY one) I watched/witness in my 9 straight years as a film critic (i've seen it several times) in which I WATCHED 'crowds' of theater-goers WALK-OUT 'every time/every screening' etc. PEOPLE *see shaun the SHEEP quite simply and literally put CANNOT "Handle the proverbial TRUTH re: the behavior of other people/sheep in THIS Great SATAN of a now defunct/dying JOKE of a former strong and PROUD Corpo.

I think people expected Scorsese, and maybe more glam, and that wasn’t 70’s Boston at all. I know the film wasn’t set in the rough and tumble seventies, but it’s source material was, and the story reflects that. I didn’t love it at first, but it has grown on me. One thing I thought was out of place was the slow motion killings, it didn’t jive with the gritty realism of the rest of the film, for me at least. McNairy and Mendelsohn killed it, both are real talents. Gandolfini was simultaneously terrifying and vulnerable and played it perfectly. And Sam Shepard, all he really needs to do is show up. Anyway as time goes on I think more people will come around to it.
@@nuckymancini7013 I managed a movie theater when this came out and I can attest to what you're saying. We had several people walk out in fits of rage because they didn't realize this movie, with it's mob characters and Johnny Cash song, was going to be a critique of America and capitalism. The only other movie that may have had more angry people leave while I worked there was The Wolf of Wallstreet.
Its about the cannibalistic- always ends the same - corporate and war machines- "we the people"? like "in god we trust" on that shit paper you see and your heart skips a beat before you realize its a one- Marilyn Manson says it best in the beautiful people capatlism has made it this way- old fashioned fascism will take it away- and it it is- an evil empire that commits such heinous global atrocities- so they can pump the blood of children into their cars- and make kids in Yemen fear blue skies- but dont worry- our purpose is almost fufiled and the 18 year Arab holocaust well turn demolition mode on -- not a country-- but a dying business- and its a dope ass gangster film- if people cant understand themes- like agree or no? brad britt was essentially the embodiment of capitalism-- but-- and the best part almost an oxymoron- best to her- hes deeply philosophical it makes you want to like him- but hes just another interchangable face of a machine that bleeds the world of all- but its about to come back- you cant bend something so far and expect it not to snap back so hard it shatters the universe- were gonna be reset soon- thank all goddesses
+heshm9 Yes it is. It's a big part of why things are so insane with this election. The business that is America has become too harsh for the masses to swallow it for much longer.
***** What is meant by "America is a business, not a country" is that the main (or really the only) driving force behind America is profit at all costs, regardless of the collateral damage to people and the environment. In this way, it is much more like a business than it is a healthily-governed country.
We NEED someone to run this nation like a business! And now, we have one...Trump will undo everything that incompetent community organizer did, throw him in jail, deport all the illegals, and make it great again!!
jmcghane There is an italian-american author, Stefano Anelli alias John Kleeves, that wrote many books about USA foreign policy and also a great deal about internal end foreign propaganda, and also about the 'USIA (Unites States Information Agency). He is the reason why I jumped up when I saw this scene.
J.Cisco Niner His point, wery well developed, is that The United States since their very beginning (the mentality that were brought with the first settlers) have always been about profit.
To be honest I would relate this to all nations of the world, nation building is just about consolidating wealth and profit. All countries are built on trade and business not just America, America is just one of those countries that does it best.
@@HeroHoundoom i mean sure, all countries are motivated by wealth, but the sheer amount of individualism and corporatism found in a American culture is unparalleled
The whole movie was a reflection of the final line. Anybody that says this is the only good part of the movie missed out on the whole point of the movie. This was a "tl;dr", not a standalone scene. Best scene apart from Gandolfinis monilogues.
God, James Gandolfini will never get the credit he truly deserves. He had an amazing reputation from the Sopranos alone and STILL could've done so much more.
Maybe it's better seeing it twice. Before this scene, for me it just looked like an entertaining and thoroughly thought gangster film in the context of the 2008 financial crisis, with some interesting concepts like the "sensitive" hitman who can't kill people when they show their feelings right before death and beg for their lives, or the intelligent cinematography and shots that give the movie a special feel and makes the viewer feel inside the movie, but nothing more than that. But the last scene changes everything.
One of the best movies of 2012... Tight screenplay and impeccable performances... Brad Pitt is the man! Don't bother about the negative reviews you read, if you like good movies don't miss this one.
The end of this movie dropped my jaw and cemented the movie as a masterpiece for me. I can't believe how bad the ratings are, it's an instant mob classic
If the rest of the movie matches this scene maybe. But the overall movie was mediocre. It’s like landing a full court shot at the buzzer when you’re down by 40.
richard jenkins is an excellent solid actor and doesn't get enough recognition. he was great in this also the way he and pitt played off against each other. loved it.
I can't get over how well the music goes with such a brilliant scene. Love great endings like these!!! (Song: Money-that's what I want by Barrett Strong)
+Kody Walker oh boy here i go: A Serious Man, Whiplash, La Haine, In The Mood For Love, Son of Saul, Ida, Black Swan, Children of Men...not a great deal of variety there, but some of the faves i can think of at the top of my head!
+youmeandi100 Yea Serious Man and Whiplash were really solid. I think Drive and Hateful Eight are right up there with Killing Them Softly as the best use of music for an ending scene.
+Kody Walker shoot ya i forgot Drive, love that one. I need to rewatch Hateful Eight but it reminded me of Inglourious Basterds ending!!! Tarantino knows how to finish a film, i'd say.
I come back to this about once a year, incredibly rare an ending to a movie gives me that feeling. Incredibly well written and undeniably true monologue
mexicankid900 I don't give a shit about materialism and consumerism, money is just a tool and we need it to use it as such. why do you think I sell soap. to fund my acts of terror you stupid fuck
It’s gonna take some times.. just like Hitchcock it’s not something there comes in a heartbeat.. and on that note Nicholas Winding Refn works too.. I know it’s doesn’t have anything to do with this but just ❤ that guy works and yes it not for everyone and no bad mood for being called pretentious .. that’s is fair game and such..
You can almost see the astonishment in Richard's eyes when he realizes how right Jackie is with an almost "Omg this psycho has a point" look in his eyes at 2:29. Fucking brilliant.
so im a younger guy, i watched this movie recently as it was on netflix, and im fucking floored people apparently didn't like it. this movie is a cipher and skeleton key to understand modern american capitalism. it's fantastic.
"America is not a country. It is just a business" -- that explains why the waiter and waitress didn't have a smile all the way until they bring me the bill and expect a tip. Explains why the neighbors and coworkers really don't care if each others are dead. Some people have a different perspective and that's because they welcome the person into a bedroom or have some benefits, that's all. It is where CEO and CTO make full use of a person and after that the person may as well be dead. This place is not about human. It is about benefits. Gratification, profits, money.
..Pitt didn't receive an Oscar, and the movie had low "ratings", for the same reason that this quote is the most powerful and truthful quote of the film. If you had a quarter to play an arcade game that you KNEW was fixed AGAINST the player.. you'd be an idiot to play; no matter how heroic or lucky you thought you'd be. Its the same game we play everyday people lol #America,theonlybusinesswith100%margin
The movie had low ratings because the movie is not mainstream. It's not for the majority of the people. It is an american actor who rose up the letter of entertainment business (american 'invention'), is powerful and rich. He is mocking the american dream, the statues quo of the USA, society, economy,...
This movie instantly went to my top 5 movies to watch when I'm bored after seeing it. Had to watch it about 3 or 4 times to truly understand it and the characters. Classic and Brad Pitt's best performance maybe behind just Burn After Reading and Fight Club.
I admire a writer named Christopher Hitchens. He was a smart guy who I agree with most of the time. He wrote a book about Thomas Jefferson. I find this scene to be a more honest assessment of Jefferson than anything in that book. What a great film- I must have watched at least five times on Netflix.
"Now fuckin' pay me." His last statement about the U.S. makes sense to me. England, Italy, Iran, Ethiopia, etc. have cultures. The U.S. culture has always been making a living with very little government intervention. It's never been about preserving a certain language, customs etc. It's youth oriented and driven to go forward and not look at the past.
I feel the exact same way, I live in Canada and they want us to believe we have a culture yet all I see is our customs disappearing. Less family values and more about how our life our existence in this world is to work. I come from an italian background and i went to an italian school in an italian sector. I recently went to college and I'm astonished how the students have no moral/cultural background they forget who they are and change who they are constantly with a new trend, America is truly a sad place to live in, no community just selfsh intentions
Vincent Fisher FAIL but i will correct you; ANY OTHER COUNTRY has history richness, culture, and own language...america...america is just a good for one thing, MONEY. now fucking pay me.
Love it. Notice the start of the movie Bush is in office and in this scene Obama is in office. Not only showing the timeline of the events but the ideologies being shown. Love it.
The fact that they played barett strongs 1959- money thats what i want brings more color and relatively to the final scene.brilliantly done,very much under appreciated.a piece of classic work this was.
this last scene .... Brad Pitt's character says, I've been saying most of my life, right on target.... especially when he used Thomas Jefferson as an example....whew .... loved the scene!!
Brilliant scene but for my it will always be the scene about the African Moors of Spain in True Romance. I remember being a kid watching that scene with my mum and dad in the room and seeing them make a big deal out of that moment. It wasn't till I was much older that I understood the significance of that scene.
"America is not a Country. It's just a business. Now fucking pay me" Damn. Killing is such a cynical business. I also can't help equate this with Goodfellas fuck you, pay me lines when I heard this. Cogan not just a cynical mob hitman he also a brilliant pragmatist.
One cannot survive in this society without conforming to its rules to some extent. However there is a difference between following rules blindly and seeing things for what they really are
Every agreement to the line "America's not a country, it's just a business." Is proof of how well that line has not only aged but acceptance of it's truth.
Great movie! The way the director uses silence throughout to kill the audience softly and boom, brings them back with realky clever scenes. Great cinematography, storytelling and acting.
So true. Alexis De Tocqueville agreed and wrote that American Democracy and Capitalism both thrive from individualism. The idea that anyone can make it if they work hard and try their best (the Horatio Alger Myth) is what pushes people to create things like the telephone and the automobile and people are driven to vote due to the desire to secure their own interests. If you think you're getting any help, and you're not disabled or with children, think again. You're on your fucking own!
In 2008 my father lost his job as dental technician becuase his company had to shut shut down. He decided to work for himself as a general contractor. He almost sweared off dental technology until his wife, my mother found a job listing in a newspaper working for a dental technician who's family fled Italian fascism.
This was the best scene of the entire movie.
agreed. and a great into to american history for high schoolers.
the final scene is AMAZING - " now fucken pay me!"
The whole movie sucked. Clips of obama and tv going was stupid

richard jenkins is an excellent solid actor and doesn't get enough recognition. he was great in this also the way he and pitt played off against each other. loved it.
Underrated actor for sure. He was amazing in Six Feet Under(HBO).
they’re also in burn after reading together. totally different contrast and tone that shows just how great they are

This movie instantly went to my top 5 movies to watch when I'm bored after seeing it. Had to watch it about 3 or 4 times to truly understand it and the characters. Classic and Brad Pitt's best performance maybe behind just Burn After Reading and Fight Club.
One of the greatest monologues in cinematic history
He is right. America is what you make it.
I literally played this like five times in a row after watching it. it's just so well done and true
I admire a writer named Christopher Hitchens. He was a smart guy who I agree with most of the time. He wrote a book about Thomas Jefferson. I find this scene to be a more honest assessment of Jefferson than anything in that book. What a great film- I must have watched at least five times on Netflix.
Your review of Hitchens gets two thumbs down!
BRAD PITT, NAILED IT.
"Now fuckin' pay me." His last statement about the U.S. makes sense to me.
England, Italy, Iran, Ethiopia, etc. have cultures. The U.S. culture has always been making a living with very little government intervention. It's never been about preserving a certain language, customs etc. It's youth oriented and driven to go forward and not look at the past.
I feel the exact same way, I live in Canada and they want us to believe we have a culture yet all I see is our customs disappearing. Less family values and more about how our life our existence in this world is to work. I come from an italian background and i went to an italian school in an italian sector. I recently went to college and I'm astonished how the students have no moral/cultural background they forget who they are and change who they are constantly with a new trend, America is truly a sad place to live in, no community just selfsh intentions
Vincent Fisher FAIL but i will correct you; ANY OTHER COUNTRY has history richness, culture, and own language...america...america is just a good for one thing, MONEY. now fucking pay me.
Vincent Fisher Its racist oriented to keep minorities down
Underrated film. Deserves more attention and respect.
Doesn't matter who their President is red or blue poor is poor.
Love it. Notice the start of the movie Bush is in office and in this scene Obama is in office. Not only showing the timeline of the events but the ideologies being shown. Love it.
Brad pit delivering the last line is just genius and so true
The fact that they played barett strongs 1959- money thats what i want brings more color and relatively to the final scene.brilliantly done,very much under appreciated.a piece of classic work this was.
The end is a brilliant critique of America in about a paragraph.
Movie is more relevant now than ever
Brad Pitt delivers a similar message in Fight Club
Unfortunately his character existed in another character.
Yeah, but this movie was actually good.
Saying the Hateful truth about America, Fuck Yeah.
***** But he's right you know, think about it.
***** You just don't know.
doug logan I'm from Baltimore, Maryland fool. My name is just a Profile name.
doug logan you can go and kick the s*it out of Brad Pitt you know
this last scene .... Brad Pitt's character says, I've been saying most of my life, right on target.... especially when he used Thomas Jefferson as an example....whew .... loved the scene!!
That's the most significant and pregnant scene of the last 40 years of cinema.
Brilliant scene but for my it will always be the scene about the African Moors of Spain in True Romance.
I remember being a kid watching that scene with my mum and dad in the room and seeing them make a big deal out of that moment. It wasn't till I was much older that I understood the significance of that scene.
what do you mean by pregnant?
InTheEnd75 he meant a woman that carry a baby in her womb lol
InTheEnd75 guessing he meant poignant but the auto correct got him?
Guys I really meant pregnant...

Such a true statement. It's not a country its a business.
"America is not a Country. It's just a business. Now fucking pay me" Damn. Killing is such a cynical business. I also can't help equate this with Goodfellas fuck you, pay me lines when I heard this. Cogan not just a cynical mob hitman he also a brilliant pragmatist.
Just finished this on Netflix, great final speech
One of the best staments in cinema!
Those last words are what i think everyday when i clock out from work.
One of my favourite ending movie monologues
I think the line would have been better as "America isn't a country, its a corporation..."
One cannot survive in this society without conforming to its rules to some extent. However there is a difference between following rules blindly and seeing things for what they really are
Brad ain’t wrong.
it's so painfully true.
Every agreement to the line "America's not a country, it's just a business." Is proof of how well that line has not only aged but acceptance of it's truth.
I come to watch this after every election !
One of the best movies released in the last few years
Who's is coming back to this clip in 2020?
“America is not a country, it's just a business" - this must be written on every US Dollar bill.
Great ending.
Scene of the decade.
Nailed it. Brought it all home in this scene.
The United Seats of Americorp
Wait, people disliked this movie??????
Great movie! The way the director uses silence throughout to kill the audience softly and boom, brings them back with realky clever scenes. Great cinematography, storytelling and acting.
Truer words were never spoken, "America is not a country it's a business" bow to the mighty dollar 😊
in my opinion, this is the single best final line in a film... Ever.
So freaking true.
This movie is like if Tarantino and the Coen Brothers made movie together. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
He shoulda won a fuckin oscar for this performance alone!! N yet so true too.
This whole movie went hard
So true. Alexis De Tocqueville agreed and wrote that American Democracy and Capitalism both thrive from individualism. The idea that anyone can make it if they work hard and try their best (the Horatio Alger Myth) is what pushes people to create things like the telephone and the automobile and people are driven to vote due to the desire to secure their own interests. If you think you're getting any help, and you're not disabled or with children, think again. You're on your fucking own!
A perfectly judged scene. Absolute magic.
In 2008 my father lost his job as dental technician becuase his company had to shut shut down. He decided to work for himself as a general contractor. He almost sweared off dental technology until his wife, my mother found a job listing in a newspaper working for a dental technician who's family fled Italian fascism.
This film was SO much better than I anticipated. Great dialog. And I love the way it mocks this failed, dying system.
Some of the best dialogue in an otherwise boring movie ever. Such an underrated film.
First time I saw it I was like it's ok second time Damm good movie slept on Brad is 1 of the best to do it
Haha just realised they were both in Burn After Reading.
playing significantly different kinds of characters.
No dislikes. As it should be.
They constantly drop gems like this in every movie....u have to catch em
Good movie, really nice
Great film
