Its funny how they said that Jonah Hill made Ephraim more cuddly and nice, and I don't even think Ephraim was cuddly and nice in the movie- he seemed obnoxious and rude. So does that mean the real Ephraim is a maniac?
This is a great description of what a Hollywood does. They take a true story and change the parts that are not at all entertaining and beef up parts and throw in parts to make it as exciting as possible even if at the end it’s nothing like the real story. The real character was a piece of shit but they need to make it so the audience likes him even though in real life he was not at all likable. The girlfriend has to be mad at him while in real life she was not mad at all and glad he was just making bank. Hollywood needed to romanticize them when in reality there was nothing romantic about them.
No rich guy is liked, most are respected, but ya lol I HATE rich, sociopaths. They are ALL scum bags lol and I honestly cant stand anybody who thinks people who are like that are some sort of god lol I happen to think waking up and thinking about money is for people who are MENTALLY ill and have OCD. If he didnt have OCD, lol he would be just like A NORMAL HUMAN BEING lol
Real life is slow, largely without character development. This makes for a boring story telling largely without substance. Even before written language human beings embellished story telling. How do you think tales of sea monsters and mermaids etc
Sometimes, it's all really dependant on the story, writer and director how much. Some works are actually really authentic like for example the mini-series Generarion Kill about the first convoy to go into Irak. Still most projects, yeah they don't really try to be too authentic and some things are understandable like having to pack say 3-5 people into 1 side-character so it's easier to follow what's happening because you cannot introduce a cast of 50 people. Other thing is messing around with the timeline for example, because many interesting stories doesn't really work especially in the movies 3-act structure so it's kinda neccesity. When it comes to the main-characters being totally changed I'm not a fan of making them totally a differend person, nor do I like when they invent some crazy big set-pieces that defininetly didn't happen but they just want some action and stakes. It's very cheap way of doing that, with good script and director you can make anything interesting that actually happened (even just talking). Still it was pretty clear that War Dogs was going to be a huge exaggeration and stylized version of what happened over the actual story just from the trailer. Like nothing in the movie screamed reality, just that the underlying idea would be possible.
@@kentuckybeararms2779 oh I know he wasn't working with efraim at the time. It was 8 states away and he was working through some stuff. He was actually always in a great mood and would play music at a small coffee shop near my house on Wednesday nights. He only worked at the pizza shop a short time, my manager knew him from somewhere and gave him the job to help him get back on his feet. It wasn't til shortly after he left that he posted on FB that his story was publishing in the Rolling Stone magazine.
Its crazy to me that a lot of this did happen though im not surprised Ephraim was more insane outside his portrayal in the movie, although it still is a tad bit disappointing that the whole drama during their travel in the middle east never happened it would of been an insane thing to survive if anything, though this really does highlight just how corrupt the government is in dealing with these things that could potentially be even more fucked up that Ephraim was and most people wouldnt even know it
This movie is why I started doing the fedbizops and started contracting. I stopped. It sucks now. Don’t waste your time. Contracts aren’t like they used to be.
I really dont see what they did wrong/illegal...the ammo n guns they got were from albania and were there for like 35+ years and before the tienemman square incident/embargo...at what point does that become albanian ammo and not chinese i guess is the real question
because its all about money, the violence and people dying mean NOTHING to the gov, I was brainwashed patriotic at first and signed selective service asap, glad I didnt get drafted because I would never want to die for them now, but if they invade I would love to be a sniper
They did alot of forging of documents when doing the contract if I remember correctly however im almost positive that there was alot more to it then that and the ammo being chinese originally.
Director: Ok, replicate him NOW! because if you don't t have that ability the criminal no one cares about is going to btich you didn't play him right😹 C'mon Jonah show me something😹
I almost bought a brewer into now the biggest IPA company in America. I was 5k under and had plenty of people who trusted me to invest I knew it was gonna take off and I couldn't buy it. I didn't want nothing to do with it. I now wash dishes and can't pay rent. No regrets

Tbh War Dogs was a really good movie but I still think it didn't fufill its full potential and still relied on comic relief too much. I'm pretty sure that if Todd Phillips had put as much effort to making War Dogs as he did with making Joker it would've been an oscar-worthy movie.
@@DavidPackouz I agree totally with you on that and I don't know all the details of course from the outside looking in. But seems like yall had some amazing adventures together. And if his enemies which I'm sure he does in fact have plenty wanted him bad enough they would get him. Anybody can be found at anytime just takes effort

This guy is so ungrateful. If it was not for Ephraim he would still be giving rub and tugs to old men in Miami. He gave him a great life by riding his coat tails.
Excatly, people dont realise that in order to achive what he did at such a young age you need to be like him Its impossible to make so mich money selling weapons as "nice guy"
Tik tok showed me most gun owners seem to want to shoot somebody. I saw a meme that said “ gun owners waiting for someone to break into their house...” and the comments literally one after another of over zealous people talking about how excited they would be to shoot somebody. I agree it's just a tool I was raised from around 8 years old shooting hunting fishing and shooting in competitions so I fully understand gun ownership I have never had to thought of the inclination to WANT to use any gun or weapon on somebody. Even in a life threatening situation where I was shot at I was more concerned for others safety than my own and still wouldn't WANT to shoot somebody even if I HAd to. It's never easy. It really troubles my heart knowing people who own guns actually want to hurt people even if they are criminals they are still people and it never goes away. It takes a special kind of person mentally to be able to hurt another life and have absolutely no remorse.
They don't actually want to kill someone they're just trying to portray themselves as that person although I think you forfeit your life the second you try and enter someone's home they absolutely should take the shot without remorse

The Efraim character Jonah Hill created felt like a carbon copy of Eric Cartman.
people who know Efraim have been comparing him to Cartman for years
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Efraim was so cold he stole homies eyebrows fr
Nooooooooo u didn’t have to do him like that
And his hair
What a shit comment lol
🤣😂🤣
Status...Legendary comment!!! Lololol
You’re telling me that Hollywood didn’t accurately portray a true story film factually
Hence based on a true story
Its funny how they said that Jonah Hill made Ephraim more cuddly and nice, and I don't even think Ephraim was cuddly and nice in the movie- he seemed obnoxious and rude. So does that mean the real Ephraim is a maniac?
Yes
@DavidPackouz Dang, guess you were on his good side 😬😬
I think the best part about the War Dogs movie is how they had this guy in the very start of the film a lot of people missed it
Which scene
In the nursing home playing guitar
Don't fear the reaper at a nursing home lol
no one missed it
I missed it.
That isn't Powder? Is that what you're telling me? After this interview he didn't run off into a field and disappear in a lightning bolt?!
😂
Nah, I ran off and got a tan
I came to make a powder comment and saw you beat me to it…well done
Damn we're old.
Hahahaha
My brother-in-law was in prison with Ephrim as well. He said he doesn't know Mat Cox, but he hated Ephrihm, because he was too loud.
This was awesome. I had no idea about these details.

Yep. Hollywood needs to adapt real events into a story with archetypes.
Which often means changing so much the film barely has relation to events.
Real life is slow, largely without character development.
This makes for a boring story telling largely without substance. Even before written language human beings embellished story telling. How do you think tales of sea monsters and mermaids etc
I mean I don’t think they romanticized him it’s obvious He was a piece of shit whoever doesn’t See this just sees the movie for entertainment. Lol

Its got Chinese headstamps on the shell casings. Its chinese ammo. Same if you buy Surplus ammo if its got Russian headstamps its Russian ammo
It would probably be Albanian ammo if it were produced in Albania...
