    This movie sat on My shelf for 10 years & I never watched. I finally watched it last week & was totally mesmerized by it. It's scary because this is probably how things actually work. Jake deserved an Oscar.

      It is, there are a lot of sociopaths in CEO positions and they get rewarded because they are ambitious. They also pretty much run the USA.

    This is his best performance by far in my opinion. He transformed himself into this soulless nonhuman.

    I've watched this film one time. To me it's about someone who will do absolutely anything to get ahead.

    I don't think you touched on something I always thought bout with this movie. Having him & other people be unlikeable in a profession where likability is maybe the most important part to it's success. Showing what these people think & act like behind the curtains.

    I remember watching this movie when it first came out on cable thinking where the hell is this movie come from. After I watched it I was like damn that movie fucked me up. That shit showed me stuff that I didn't know what's going on in the background and made me realize that people are fucked up. And I cannot watch his movie a second time because of that.

    Yes, this is one of those original gems that emerge in the middle of an ocean dominated by superheroes and comics, this is one of those that when you see it you say... wow, so lucky I picked it, I found a treasure, and yes, This seems to be a recurring site where Mr. Donnie Darko takes us from time to time, Jake definitely has good cinematographic taste.

    Fun fact: Feeling two conflicting emotions at the same time is called "ambivalence." You're welcome for this tidbit (and no, it does not mean neutral like a lot of people use, or others say it as either/or, it's two conflicting emotions at the same time).

    I could listen to this to documentaries about this movie all day. I can’t believe this Director. This was his first film! He knocked it out of the park… But of course, with Jake Gyllenhaal, he had the perfect leading man. I find him similar to Ryan Gosling (when he’s not being “Ken” 😑) Jake is the perfect actor who can be funny… Handsome… But incredibly intense and unhinged all at once. Such an underrated actor, and such a brilliant film.

    In my mind this movie is a sequel to Showtime, Russo's character is the same one from Showtime, corrupted by her time as a media producer.

  • @SkarrGaming

    This film reminds me of the Tool song "Vicarious". I mean just look at the lyrics -
    Eye on the TV, 'cause tragedy thrills me
    Whatever flavor it happens to be like
    "Killed by the husband"
    "Drowned by the ocean"
    "Shot by his own son"
    "She used the poison in his tea"
    "Then kissed him goodbye"
    That's my kind of story
    It's no fun 'til someone dies
    Don't look at me like I am a monster
    Frown out your one face, but with the other
    Stare like a junkie into the TV
    Stare like a zombie while the mother holds her child
    Watches him die
    Hands to the sky crying, "Why, oh why?"
    'Cause I need to watch things die
    From a distance
    Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies
    You all need it too, don't lie
    Why can't we just admit it?
    Why can't we just admit it?
    We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'
    Neither the brave nor bold
    Nor brightest of stories told
    We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'
    I need to watch things die
    From a good safe distance
    Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies
    You all feel the same, so
    Why can't we just admit it?
    Blood like rain come down
    Drum on grave and ground
    Part vampire, part warrior
    Carnivore and voyeur
    Stare at the transmittal
    Sing to the death rattle
    La-la, la-la, la, la, la-lie
    La-la, la-la, la, la, la-lie
    La-la, la-la, la, la, la-lie
    La-la, la-la, la, la, la-lie
    Credulous at best, your desire to believe in
    Angels in the hearts of men
    Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen
    Shouldn't have to say it all again
    The universe is hostile, so impersonal
    Devour to survive, so it is, so it's always been
    We all feed on tragedy
    It's like blood to a vampire
    Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies
    Much better you than I

    The film comes at a point in class history wherein if anyone can rise without nepotism, without pedigree, and without "saintly" benefactors then that person is a working class hero. He hasn't killed anyone (assuming he didn't when I was in the bathroom at the theater). He is as flawed and weird as the rest of us. And he wins like how we want. Grab an in and go for it.

    • @amberjulia123
      @amberjulia123 11 місяців тому +2

      He kills Joe (his rival). He also manipulatively kills Rick (bc he doesn’t want to share the bounty with him).
      But most importantly- this film shows that being a murderer isn’t the only way to be evil. He is pure evil in many other ways throughout the film.

    Why can Jake do more movies like this an when he did enemy it was great . Why does he have to do stuff like roadhouse , like I feel like Jake is a complex actor an doesn't do basically mcu movies which I got wrong cuz he literally joined mcu. It's depressing cuz I want Jake to do more movies like this , character study movies. He has so much talent being wasted on brainless movies like the mcu .

    I always thought it was obviously a crap commercial for the telemarketing, tech bro's, amoral clout or monied virtue for personal protection from the angle of "Taxation isn't theft, I pay less" when stealing or profiting from the zeitgeist of "Bruh, but I forgive women and people of colour only if they fight the system becoming me more passive than passionately"
    There's those who are not in control and desperate to extricate themselves of their demands to allow innocent people to get by without helpful people who are just better at trying to logically or emotionally resolve social issues instead of profit from inflation of troubles...or argue that they got fucked for the money and enjoy the wholesome paying experience.
