Makes sense, seeing as Verbal is still being recorded in the chief's office, and he has to be aware of it.

Ohhh that’s clever!

exactly, nnot a soul on this planet knows how to identify hungarian, not even the hungarians!

​@@Htheorphanarian how so?

HA! I remember saying that...on my 2nd watch. 😉🤓😄

Don't forget the finish of the joke 😏

I thought that was Macmanus who said that… damn.

I'm sure he smokes his cigarette in his true way (turkish) in that scene instead of American way. If not that scene, it's another scene where they are all in it

Alan Partridge was in Usual Suspects? I 100% missed that.

Spacey's walk changed to normal when he and the crew walked with the quick step to see the girlfriend/Lawyer waiting for Kobeyashi to return. I thought it was a mistake at first.

I've always thought this too. The guy picking Verbal up isn't Kobayashi, Redfoot was just a name off the wall - between the line up and the bodies being found at the end - everything else is likely made up. Did Keaton even die!?

I always said that, his story was probably a farce. Great movie.

I came to the exact same conclusion about “Joker 2019”. It’s kind of hard to determine which parts are fiction and which parts are facts.

@@jaywin9048Well we know certain details are real, such as the NY's finest taxi service heist and the "emerald" heist. Those things really did happen, along with the climax on the boat. Soze/Kint just made up names, perhaps in keeping with the criminal's "I'm not a rat" ethos.

They lied to the viewers.

I always thought that was an interesting line.

Yeah what was that

Why ?

Good eye mate..you'd a made a damn good detective...

People always miss the fact that the white powder in the drug scene is actually powdered sugar and Kint says that Soze used to work in a bakery making pastries with powdered sugar and then in a closeup you see Kint has powdered sugar crumbs on his fingers and lips. It lets you know that Kint is Soze if you're paying attention.

also the fact that, for a long time smoker, it’s weird for him to struggle lighting his cigarette and to drop is lighter

@@gustave7619 he could well have been nervous or pretending to be nervous. It doesn't have to be a sign of anything

​@@joshcantrell8397 Yeah, O.J. got off too, and everyone knows he did it. "Not guilty" is not the same thing as "innocent".

@@snarkasticdouche3863he had 30 allegations and innocent in 2 countries … and Kevin’s life is still ruined. Everyone hears about the allegations but never the acquittals, and people like you always seem to have to bring him down, despite all evidence.

@@Harrys.Truman-fanpage It helps that a bunch of witnesses "mysteriously" disappeared too. He was a frequent visitor to the Island, deal with it. It's okay to like his movie roles. I like a few, like this one. It's not okay to ignore his reprehensible crimes.

4 if you count Bryan Singer as Soze in the flashback at the end of the movie

I always thought Soze looked like Antonio Banderas in the flashback of his family.

Very true. It gave him a "box" look Singer liked

@@d.cnchama4486 I didn’t know that one!

Bryan Singer too, it's his hand that drops the cigarette that leads to the boat explosion. Excellent DVD additional commentary for this film

Oh that's a good observation!

And that he does it with his right hand but struggles to use a lighter in the office.

Verbal is the actual devil in this movie .

Kevin Spacey’s performance really touched me

People should have realized long before then that he was the bad guy though he was the only one left standing and he's so adamantly believe that Dean Keaton was dead. There were small Tails all through it that's true little hits that gave him away.. the more you look the more you see but for me it was the fact that he was the only one left alive. Self-evident.. that if he wasn't the same guy and then he knew that guy... but since we're all operating on the same belief that it was one of the five yeah it was fairly evident that it was verbal.

Good catch!

​@@qanondon2100poor choice of words. Lol

Exactly, every time I watch it I still say, well if that happened then how did this happen... Captivating. Can't tell you if another movie of recent years that has done this. Brilliant!

Your English is pretty damn good man!

This is a meta comment - Joel Cross never had dinner with them. But the twist is Joel knows because he is in fact, Gabriel Byrne.

I too have watched it several times, always trying to pick up on something I may have missed earlier.

@@brenoandrade7775 Surely you still a dvd player....

The microphone is supposed to be in the cigarette box. This was confirmed on the commentary back in the '90s. They said because of the shot of Kujan straightening his tie, many viewers assumed he was wearing a body wire, but it was actually the cigarette box that was mic'd.

Honestly I thought the focus on that was there to throw the audience off as it was such a.focus in more than one shot that the audience wouldn’t be as observant of all the other smaller clues around it.

I am sure he would have loved that.

Why didn't you ?

@@ibabechanel I didn't want to burden her. She had her whole own list of things she wanted to see that weekend.

people smoke like this everywhere, it means nothing

Yup I was a kid/criminal that thought this movie was dope and I had to explain to my homeboys and siblings everything this video explains!

I need to rewatch this movie, but, I thought it was (paraphrasing) "an associate of Mr. Soze was relieved of $62,000 in a complicated confidence scam...by a cripple"

What's your point?

What are you even saying

Holy hell 😲

Check this out…When Kujan is talking about how Keaten was using Verbal because Verbal is dumb. The camera stays on Verbal and then he smiles as Kujan is builidng and telling the false story that Verbal is leading him down. And then Kujan comes in to frame and sits to the left of Verbal. Kujan grabs Verbal by the collar when Verbal mentions the “lawyer” “What layer?” Kujan asks and then he gets upset with Verbal grabs his collar and there it is! VERBALS CP HAND SHOVES KUJAN’S HAND OFF OF HIM AND KUJAN DOESN’T REALIZE THAT VERBAL JUST USED HIS DISABLED ARM PROVING VERBAL IS A FRAUD AND NOT WHO HE SAYS HE IS. 42:18 mark on the dvd.

Yep this is rarely mentioned. Spacey as Kint protrays the realisation of what he's done fleetingly brilliantly, too!

I used to think that too. But the problem is the fax identity sketch and the burnt guy keeps shouting "Kaiser Soze!"

From the first time I watched it 30 years ago I thought the Kobayashi character was actually Soze. The majority of the characters and story lines are made up by the Kint character and from memory does Kint not mention in the interview that Soze is coming for him? I just think why would Soze put himself in danger, the Kint character could have been the killer/accomplice and the real Soze was the Kobayashi character, in the background pulling the strings?

True!!!! That's how I took it

Plus the fact that the lawyer does not appear to be Japanese.

@@roldo23 well, yeah, I always wanted to keep an open mind about his ethnic and cultural heritage, ha!

Kint also confesses shooting the guy who didnt't give them the briefcase in the head

Actually, the cop only confirms that Edie Finneran was retained by the FBI's stool pigeon. This is likely the reason that Soze chose Keaton. It wasn't about Keaton. It was about getting close to his girlfriend and eventually killing her because of her association with the man who was about to rat out Soze to the cops/hungarians.

It took me a few watches of the film to work out that almost all of the story can be viewed as false. Once you work out that the character "Kobayashi" is invented, then all the parts with the gangsters talking about Kobayashi (e.g. when they plan to kill him) must be invented. Likewise for the same reason, redfoot must also be invented. Which leaves the only bits that we can establish as actually happened are the very start of the film, the suspects being killed, the bit with the fax machine, and the very end. Everything else is made up by Verbal Kint.

Oh that's a good angle too!

That was just pure bad luck (for soze) that he survived. Certainly wasn't Soze's intention!

Yes, I liked that, too. Very kind, and it felt sincere.

Quartet was a real company in Skokie IL that made cork boards and dry boards . They were purchased by ACCO in 2005.

@@lpr5269 I once knew a guy named Acco. He facilitated handoffs between corrupt government officials, and nobody knew which Eastern European criminal syndicate had birthed him, or where he’d turn up…. But seriously, that’s funny to know. 👍🏻

@@lpr5269 I have a Quartet whiteboard beside me right now!

Wait a minute… this turned 2 over 25 years ago.

Dammit, I knew I was right! I kept thinking during that intro, I'm pretty sure Usual Suspects was '95 not '97...

Cool hand Luke was a better prison movie.

Well he failed but then mDe the best of a bad situation and got himself released. Now, as he mentioned in the interrogation, he will just disappear. He has international connections so he can just have surgery, change his looks and he's all good. As for his name, that was most certainly not his real name anyway.

The only person alive who claims to know Soze's motive for attacking the boat is Kint - who we know is an unreliable narrator. Everything he says about how the attack played out is suspect. He could have left bits out, lied about the events and even made up all the interactions and relationships between the main characters. In fact anything not directly verifiable by solid evidence is likely fiction. For example, the entire character Redfoot likely never existed - it's the Alias of a prostitute on the noticeboard. That's Kint's genius - he improvises such an engaging story that the Kujan *wants* to believe it.

Bravo, who ever made this video most probably didn't watch the movie, he just watched rewievs of this film...

He most certainly won. He killed everyone that could identify him, except the cop (who's superiors wouldn't believe him anyway). His main objective was to get to the government witness (for whatever reason). He hired a crew to take the fall, divert attention away from him, help to get onto the boat. He also talked himself out of custody. He can clearly operate through cutouts very effectively, hence Kobayashi. I see wins all around. Kujun isn't chasing him to Eastern Europe. You try watching it again. I think you missed the appreciation of getting to the ending to figure out pretty much the whole movie was bullshit. And the respect for the man that planned it that way.(Soze/Singer). Who's to say Soze even existed to begin with?

@@GranPubaif Soze didn’t exist: why would the detective Kujun talks to during a scene in between parts of Kint’s story say he had also heard of Keyser Soze? That scene in between parts of Kint’s story is real

"After this, my guess is you'll never hear from him again...."

The police sketch and identification was a fluke from a burned up guy in hospital Soze thought was dead like all the others so it wasn't part of his plan for a whole police station or Kujan to find out, he's going to be kicking himself when he discovers it I'm sure.

I don’t think he realises one of the Hungarians survived because he was stuck in Kujan’s office… So yeah, he fucked up!

The officer questioning him dies in a house fire a few weeks later. These things happen.

And the mob who wanted his identity will easily get it from the police. But kobayashi could be soze. Either way the protagonist lost. He will be dead within a week.

Verbal is the actual devil

He’s also in Trading Places, during the jail scene with Eddie Murphy.

Check out Taps.

I love Taps, seeing Tom Cruise go crazy with a .50 is pretty unforgettable.

It did happen after he figured it out. That’s why he dropped it. Because he was shocked at what he just realized. He didn’t just happen to randomly drop it for no reason.

The clues are only shown to the audience once Kujan has already figured it out

He did. The way gus fling died.

Second favorite? ( I'm always looking for good movies that I haven't seen yet 👍)

I've always disagreed with the "it's all BS" theory. I maintain that the story Verbal tells is largely true, just embellished and altered. Parts of it _have_ to be true; the boat 'heist' clearly happened - just not for a coke deal. The line-up would be on police record, as would the interviews. The police would also have known about the hit on Saul Berg, as well as the attack on New York's Finest Taxi Service - at least to the point where they could have called BS if it wasn't true. I think Verbal knew he could tell Kujan the truth but in a way that would be what he wanted to hear. He'd know Kujan was gunning for Keaton and that he'd find out about the myth of Keyser Soze. So it wouldn't be hard to make him think Keaton was the mastermind.

@@iainjames03 he literally tells him that when he says that Keaton was an ex cop and he knew how they thought. He was basically taking the piss on them the whole damn movie

@@cappyjones Citizen Kane.

I agree. It has to be almost entirely made up, including most of the scenes we see with the suspects talking to each other. Red foot may not have even existed, and as for Kobayashi, all we know is he's some unnamed guy who picks him up at the end.

I'm Puerto Rican and it's actually "Benicio", it's pronounced the same tho 😅

He doesn't have any disabilities
