  • Conceived and designed by Ridley Scott and directed by Johnny Hardstaff, Michael Fassbender and Natalie Dormer star in this special footage not seen in the movie that provides a deeper, stylized look into the characters of The Counselor.
    Legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott and Pulitzer Prize winning author Cormac McCarthy (No Country for Old Men) have joined forces in the motion picture thriller THE COUNSELOR, starring Michael Fassbender, Penélope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Javier Bardem, and Brad Pitt. McCarthy, making his screenwriting debut and Scott interweave the author's characteristic wit and dark humor with a nightmarish scenario, in which a respected lawyer's one-time dalliance with an illegal business deal spirals out of control.
    Starring: Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz and Cameron Diaz
    Director: Ridley Scott

  • @versionstoronto
    @versionstoronto 3 роки тому +39

    A deeply strange scene that's so tonally different from the rest of The Counsellor. I think that this scene is trying to (clumsily) highlight a few different things:
    - The protagonist is obsessed with giving material items to his partner, but this is different from ensuring her safety and security. If anything, it's the Counsellor's pursuit of material wealth that triggers the chain reaction of problems for him & Penelope Cruz. This scene shows that the thing that he intends as a show of affection to her (buying lingerie) is really just a way for him to indulge in his own greedy materialistic fantasies, and to justify it as something she's doing for her
    - The piece where they have the dubbed 'mental conversation' is weirdly unsettling. Especially since it's followed by the weird walkie talkie voice describing what sounds like a crime. While it's possible that these things are the result of poor or shitty editing, it's also possible that they are made to show a dissonance between the words expressed and the feeling given - we are unsure whether to feel settled by seeing rich people buy things, or disturbed by reports of crimes & weird non-synched vocals. It may be the first example in which the rich upper class world of the main character is juxtaposed with the violence of the world of the drug trade that he participates in.
    This whole movie is so fascinating to me, because while it's written by a great writer (McCarthy) and features performances from many celebrated actors, it still falls incredibly flat. A scene like this makes me wonder if Ridley Scott set out to make a film that fails; one which appears to celebrate wealthy and aesthetics, but ultimately which falls flat. I would love to know more about how this film was made and what the intention was of those involved.

    • @andrewyancy8639
      @andrewyancy8639 3 роки тому +3

      Yeah, I wish I knew what this was supposed to be. It does have a completely different feel than the rest of the movie. Toward the end it almost becomes like a short David Lynch film with that creepy, surreal use of sound. Maybe this scene was intended to be some kind of dream sequence that was cut from the theatrical version of the movie. I like how it suggests that Ridley Scott made a completely different movie that was far more interesting, but was forced by the studio to cut it into the grim, unsatisfying crime thriller that we ended up with.

      for someone who attempts to intellectualize his thoughts by writing essays, you are rather dim for believing a commercial product like this would be allowed to be released with editing errors that glaring. it's obviously that the radio messages at the end are intentional. you guess is as good as mine as to the meaning. i agree that it adds to its unsettling nature. about the film being a failure, i think it was due to marketing. i never saw any commercials for it during its release, only years later.

    Me being familiar with Cormac McCarthy's work (Pulitzer Prize winner; best American author since Faulkner) is the reason why I knew that this was more than a simple crime drama. The advertising agency responsible for the trailers probably calculated that a crime film staring Brad Pitt would end up making more money than anything remotely interesting or complex

    This was better than the movie.

    neither do I, this looks way more interesting then that film. this really pulled me in, but when I watched the trailer I was disappointed that it's just another crime intrigue story. this little segment looks like it could have led to a far deeper, and more complex film.

    I'm sorry, but I absolutely hate the directing in this. I even hit up the Wikipedia to read up the production on it. What happened Ridley? The pacing in this and the shots themselves are foofoo.

    Can anyone tell me what kind of top is she wearing? Is it a top, a shirt or a blouse? I just can't find anything similar to it on Google.
