In my opinion, it is called "naked" because it is a film that deals with a world that is lonely and dreadful, the souls wandering this world are naked of relationships or family - they are alone in a world with no hope, no light or love. It is a story of a generation that feels defeated by urban society and modernization.
I saw that movie 2 days ago (at 1 am), and I still don't know how to explain the way I felt. But it was something positive, for sure. This peace of art keep on haunting me and I can't stop thinking about it. One of my favourites
Ok I see what you mean. But when I say "positive" I mean the way I felt (myself) whether or not the movie or Mike Leigh or anybody else say the opposite :). It's personal
After being punched around with powerful scenes of humanity's dark sides for a couple of hours, JUST when you thought that this movie was about to turn Hollywood and have a happy ending after Louise asks Johnny to go back with her, this scene delivers the knock out.
@NoFapTate The point is that it will only be more of the same for him. The pretense of a 'Hollywood happy ending' is false, because even a cursory look at Johnny's character tells you that his disposition more or less precludes happiness. He will continue his life with precisely the same manic tension, anxious, restless energy, the sense of nowhere to be, nowhere to go. He is essentially, fundamentally, tragic.
Perfect ending! I think the movie is fearless in what it has to say and the music adds another perfect aspect to johnny's life. I ove the ending part plus maggie and archie scenes the most. This and last samurai best ever for me ;)
i feel like Johnny's character has something almost supernatural about him. He could have chosen an easy, stable life with Louise but he didn't. Almost as if he has a mission. As if he's an angel/demon of the apocalypse, the end of the world, not in a real sense of course, but a symbolic presence, a metaphor for all the wretched people of society. cause, after all, only the most miserable are obsessed with the end of the world.
This movie to me was a representation of Hell. Loss with loss itself~John Milton Paradise Lost. Even in the end of the film he is suffering to find more suffering. Another quote comes to me when watching this scene but basically the whole movie~~ I stand under the Tree of Knowledge its fruits not withered and infested with Serpents. Must I eat a snake to understand the Truth?!~~Black Doves
Hey man thanks for your share and poetry Beautiful and dark Like this classic masterpiece Naked I believe to know the darkness and hurt suffering ect then to crawl back out and walk in the light my brother … Anyhow thanks 🙏 I’ll start ranting if I keep writing 🤣👍
Nihlism and fatalism drove johnny into a state to where he saw filth in everything ...Leaving louise was an act of redemption towards how cruel he treated her . His health was failing and he was always being draw into a death void , and he wasn't being cynical about the world ending he meant it , hestudied and thought hard about the fate of the world and his own demise . So like with nothing left for him he sprawls the streets once more , his path is set like his views on everything ..it ends .
mike leigh made him hop like a frog because the frog doesn't imagine his next state of affairs. The frog thing I think was the actual intention, but most of this movie would take multiple more viewings for me to fully interpret. I just know that it contains some of the best dialogue ever put to film.
Puffy Guffy ofcourse you may interpret it the way you want, but I don’t think the ‘hopping’ is anything frog related. He’s humping because he can’t walk properly. With this Leigh puts the emphasis on Johhny’s need for a personal apocalypse, even when he can barely move forward. Happiness and comfort are no option for him, and with this lingering shot Leigh confirms that one more time before cutting to black.
So in the end Johnny did do something good? I mean he did stole the money, but leaving the girl was probably for her own good. He just continues his own circle of misery where he can't stop ruining other lives yet can't help himself either.
Brilliant scene. Anyone know where I can find the original recording of the theme? I can only find the audio ripped straight from the movie which has the foot-scuffing in the background.
@ajmedway Well... It's hard to say. Louise certainly loved johnny and he cares about her as well ("Do you hate me?" "Fuck off" [Smiles]) But something in him propels him to behave the way that he does. Besides, both of them probably knew that it was not going to be "happy ever after", just that they would be together again for as long as it lasted. I think that Johnny doesn't believe that he can be part of the normal world anymore.

This movie is about the way men can deal with women or what is acceptable. Johnny had sex that was consensual at the beginning But it got aggressive so he ran away after doing so, therefore he is not a rapist.which is the appropiate thing to do. He warns Sophie afterwards because he will hurt her if she stays with him, again he is doing what is right based on his condition. Mike leigh made it clear that Sophie cant handle this kind of relationship when Jeremy didnt stop hurting her and through the loss of her child. Again, Johnny didnt want to hurt the old lady and he said you will catch something cruel nor the waiteress. Finally, Johnny escaped because it wasnt acceptable for him to be with Loiuse. This understanding explains the movie's structure.
Louise would have quit her job and come home to find him gone. But how long would that 350 quid have lasted him? And he was badly hurt. Where would he go?
I did not think he would move on. Its a funny ending it makes you feel emotional in a way what happens now does he go back on the streets or does he go back to Manchester I saw this in 1995 when I first liked oasis there is a bitter manc wit about him but he's not a bully just mixed up to clever to work and lead a normal life but when he helps the bill sticker he fails at a simple task which is sad he's to clever but it's his downfall as real people are not thinkers but doers in life he does not like normality he needs to question everything and anyone I'm a bit like this so many dishonest people in life who hide the truth lack empathy to others and are that's
@ajmedway He has some serious emotional problems, that's for sure. That's what I loved about the movie. After he's beaten, it seemed like it was leading up to the traditional "happy ending" formula, but nope. He steals the money & he's back to where he left off...
Bu gün ilə bağlı heç bir problem yoxdur, hazırda hər şey yaxşıdır, bu gün ilə bağlı yeganə problem əslində belə bir şeyin var olmamasıdır. Çünkü hazırda gələcəkdir, gələcəkdə keçmiş. Və hamısı əslində eynidir. Yaranmaya keçid və başqa tərəfə keçid. Mövcud olmaq və yox olmaq. Gələcək bu gündür.
There is a good side and a bad side to all eras in life that never will change even in the digital age.no matter what people are people he sums that up with the girl from the cafe who starts crying then shouting at him she is a nutcase no reason to be angry and she has no heart or soul that's why he really gets angry it's the male ego thinking why had this person being disrespectful to me and yet she has invited him or not told him where to go just a dishonest person at the end of the day I know bitches like that I'm sorry to say I hate certain men as well but there's nice men and women in the world to never give up just move on find good try and avoid the bad or the two faced
I wish he had. I'm always tempted to stop it right before that last conversation about the world ending. But that's not the person he is. He would never have settled down, not with Louise, not with anyone. He was on the run from something, terrified of something, and it wasn't just the beating he seemed to be running from but death itself. That and the apocalypse. He'll be moving until he drops.
I've always felt for Sandra, the girl in the bathtub. Have always had a soft spot for prudish "good girls". Was always wondering if Jeremy the bastard really raped her (or made her sleep with him for the rent) or not. Still am.
I think johnny just doesn't want to be saved. After the security guard telling him not to waste his life and his ex helping him any sane man would have learned from his mistakes and lived a new different life .But Jonny enjoys being a miserable nihilist
This movie is brilliant but I honestly think they bit off more than they could chew with the landlord character. He was well done but he hurts the pacing and plot of the film overall and stretches it too thin, obviously the writer(s) had someone like him in mind but he probably needed his own film to be done properly. Remove the landlord and maybe make Johnny being beaten up near the end as the result of some of his behavior, even just pissing off the wrong guy rather than just walking by a group of sketchy lads at night. Then ide give it a 9 or 10 rather than a 7 or 8. Stuff like this is why Kubrick did so many takes, in film especially, small mistakes or improvements can make a world of difference.
In my opinion, it is called "naked" because it is a film that deals with a world that is lonely and dreadful, the souls wandering this world are naked of relationships or family - they are alone in a world with no hope, no light or love.

There's also the evocation of Genesis. The nakedness seen before the Fall.

I totally agree with you. I felt just like you did!

Hey bro..I just watched this masterpiece at 2:30 am and now its almost 4 but am here commenting...haunting to say the least
After being punched around with powerful scenes of humanity's dark sides for a couple of hours, JUST when you thought that this movie was about to turn Hollywood and have a happy ending after Louise asks Johnny to go back with her, this scene delivers the knock out.
POP POP BANG
the first time i watched this knowing nothing about it beforehand i honestly didnt expect anything other than him to run off with the cash

Heartbreaking. Genuinely haunting. It tears me apart even now. Hell, it’s been two years. Even now!?
Two years since what pal?
@@fatherpaulstone896 since i saw the movie. just like its been 5 years or 2days.
When David Thewlis was 29, he was on set of the film "Naked" and when he was 30, he won his Cannes Film Awards in France, back in 1993.
00:46 to 00:49 he goes from pillar to post. From pillar to post is a euphemism for aimless behaviour. This wasn't done on purpose. But i love it.
omg
No matter how many books you read, there is something in this world that you never ever ever ever ever fuckin' understand.
One of the best films I have ever watched! Very underrated.
I’m convinced this is the best score of all time
Sucks that it was never realesed as a soundtrack
This my be my favourite final shot of all time I keep watching it the score goes so well with it
I was enchanted by this scene. Still spinning in my head. Although I thought that rich guy would come back and kill Louise in the end.
Perfect ending! I think the movie is fearless in what it has to say and the music adds another perfect aspect to johnny's life. I ove the ending part plus maggie and archie scenes the most. This and last samurai best ever for me ;)
This may be the best movie ever made
One of the most powerful films ever.
i feel like Johnny's character has something almost supernatural about him. He could have chosen an easy, stable life with Louise but he didn't. Almost as if he has a mission.

A man beset by untold spiritual horrors. He's a leper.
He cant. He is impulsive narcicist

you do not like each of characters in the movie. but every of you has some parts of these characters.
Nihlism and fatalism drove johnny into a state to where he saw filth in everything ...Leaving louise was an act of redemption towards how cruel he treated her . His health was failing and he was always being draw into a death void , and he wasn't being cynical about the world ending he meant it , hestudied and thought hard about the fate of the world and his own demise . So like with nothing left for him he sprawls the streets once more , his path is set like his views on everything ..it ends .
I'd like to imagine he went to USA and became V.M Varga
The greatest ending to any movie ever. Mike Leigh is a genius.
The only ending that's on par is the ending of Thin Red Line
The Long Good Friday. Nothing happens, just a camera fixed on a face going through the motions.
Bob Hoskins RIP.
Andrew Dickson at his best. we want this in a soundtrack, but with no luck!
this is exactly how i feel, Friday's leaving job and Monday's returning job!
One of the all-time great movie endings
On of the greatest endings! 🥺❤️💛
Masterpiece
all is about this specific hour of a day, when the sun goes out...
mike leigh made him hop like a frog because the frog doesn't imagine his next state of affairs. The frog thing I think was the actual intention, but most of this movie would take multiple more viewings for me to fully interpret. I just know that it contains some of the best dialogue ever put to film.
Puffy Guffy ofcourse you may interpret it the way you want, but I don’t think the ‘hopping’ is anything frog related. He’s humping because he can’t walk properly. With this Leigh puts the emphasis on Johhny’s need for a personal apocalypse, even when he can barely move forward. Happiness and comfort are no option for him, and with this lingering shot Leigh confirms that one more time before cutting to black.
A limping frog
He even mentions a frog himself earlier or how a tadpole doesn’t “know” it’s going to become a frog it just “happens”
David doesn’t know that he’s brilliant and inspires other people.
The Yanks could only dream about making a film like this
So in the end Johnny did do something good? I mean he did stole the money, but leaving the girl was probably for her own good. He just continues his own circle of misery where he can't stop ruining other lives yet can't help himself either.
Johnny Bad
Louise Good
Sophie Good
Jeremy Bad
Ok?
Sophie was raped by both Johnny and Jeremy but nobody in the film seems to give a damn about her.
Leigh's best!
Vera Drake is also a great movie
Brilliant scene. Anyone know where I can find the original recording of the theme? I can only find the audio ripped straight from the movie which has the foot-scuffing in the background.

She didnt exactly love him. She felt guilty for leaving him behind
Best part of the movie...
Great opening credits too

I called this ending right before seeing it haha
Louise would have quit her job and come home to find him gone. But how long would that 350 quid have lasted him? And he was badly hurt. Where would he go?
to be fair he could've been hopping back to his car and go to manchester to get the place cleaned. IDK highly unlikely probably.
To his demise, eventually
@@davgg9621 He doesn't have a car. That car he used at the beginning of the film he stole and then abandoned.
I think Louise goes back to Manchester and as soon as Sandra is the only woman left, Johny will come back to the apartment and seduces Sandra
I did not think he would move on. Its a funny ending it makes you feel emotional in a way what happens now does he go back on the streets or does he go back to Manchester I saw this in 1995 when I first liked oasis there is a bitter manc wit about him but he's not a bully just mixed up to clever to work and lead a normal life but when he helps the bill sticker he fails at a simple task which is sad he's to clever but it's his downfall as real people are not thinkers but doers in life he does not like normality he needs to question everything and anyone I'm a bit like this so many dishonest people in life who hide the truth lack empathy to others and are that's

He should have stayed in the house.
I wish he had. I'm always tempted to stop it right before that last conversation about the world ending. But that's not the person he is.

The house is DEATH, life is overcoming pain
To stay would be to give in to the illusion that there's a future: a future for johnny, for Louise, for anyone.
