This is the scene that kept the entire movie fired up... a calm respectful villain, revealed his intentions and, defended it and stayed focused to his duty without concern of the ethical implications. That character was the most scariest,. Killed with such professionalism.
The ultimate soldier. A zealot for "following orders" blindly. One who already knows they must self-terminate upon completing their mission as there is no place for them in the world they are building. And yet still they go on with singular devotion. It just shows how good the training programs are. And it set up the rest of the series... way beyond what we got... River Tam, behind layers of psychosis, knows the thoughts of every leader in the entire galaxy. All their secrets and plans and true intentions. And as they start to work it out... Mal is going to be in the position to strike back against the oligarchs. But look at the world since then -- the real world oligarchs are more powerful now than ever. They didn't WANT the message of Firefly to spread. It was all about psychological manipulation -- THAT is why Firefly was cancelled. The show was fantastic, but the message threatened the oligarchs.
@@JumpingTuna. There is no corruption free system just like there is no classless society, the only way to decide if the system is worth supporting is to judge it off of if it does things that you support or not, like does it support and protect individual freedoms and civil liberties or not? Does it increase the populations standard of living? If so how does it answer these questions. One must also ask what matters more too. Then things like “democracy” and representation must also be counter balanced on top of that.
Technically, he's not the villain, Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds and his band of rebels are the villains - as they choose to live off the grid, outside the civilised "human" systems. They're like space pirates or Vikings, with an ethical edge to themselves.
You are absolutely right. It's the calmness, assuredness and respect he shows his victims. That actually make him infinitely more terrifying. A gem of a movie, based on a gem of a series.
@@איילנאמן-ע3נ Not in a traditional sense no, but he was the antagonist. He was chasing the Serenity in search of River. He was doing his duty, following orders til he didnt.
Could've made a great character to join the crew for a second season. He could take the place of Book. This gives me an idea, actually. Have the Operative take on a sort of High Plains Drifter vibe; he wanders into town out of the haze, didn't come from anywhere, isn't going anywhere. While he's there, he quickly makes enemies of the local gangs, but doesn't fight back, until he sees them planning to capture some local kid. He steps in, kills them all, and leads the kid away, to the only safe place he knows; the Serenity. The kid could play viewpoint character for the next season, learning about what's changed in the last year or two, while the Operative slowly integrates with the crew.
Yeah, but not heartless. He is simply willing to the ugly deeds he feels are needed to secure a better world. He's a guy who is scary to go against but is a hero when he's on your side.
As they point out later on, he is a 'true believer'. And worse, he knows he's a monster. He's fighting for a 'better world' he knows he has no place in, and that makes him terrifying.
I guess if you're going to get killed, it's nice to have the person who kills you console you at the end, rather than just talk shit or throw out a snappy 90's one-liner.
I’m reminded of Thrawn a bit. If the guy had owned up to having made some mistakes and offered to help, he might have lived. Instead, he tried to deflect and deny.
Hmmm, not likely. The guy already proved himself to be a loose end. As the Operative said, it was his job to keep secrets. But, if he had taken responsibility, he would have died a man and not a coward.
you are misjudging the situation. The operative does not have the authority to punish or pardon anyone. The scientist violated state secrets and was sentenced to death. The operative simply executed the sentence in the process of clarifying the information. He's just a cog in the system, you don't have to give him extra powers.
@@Coloss92 seems like the operative has an extremely broad mandate to do basically anything he wants - up to and including leading a fleet of warships - in the prosecution of his orders. the scientists probably was marked for death, but were all the inhabitants of haven sentenced in advance? the bodyguards? book? of course it's all ultimately authorised by the parliament, but the operative isn't checking in with each atrocity. he has authority to punish and spare as he sees fit in the pursuit of his ultimate goal
"Never heard of this movie." It's a movie that is a continuation of a TV series called "Firefly". It was cancelled after the first year. There are a total of 14 episodes, 11 of which were shown in the U.S. The movie Serenity was about what happened after the series ended. You would have to watch the whole series to understand everything that's going on in this movie. Their space ship is a Firefly class of transport and the Captain named it Serenity.
Did you go watch it? I'm here because I am taking a film writing course that has us analysing our favorite movies, and this is my all time favorite movie.
Watch the series Firefly first. This movie caps the story off. It can stand on its own, but you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not watching Firefly
Funny story: I attended a fan meetup in Salt Lake City where we watched this film in a theater called Brewvies. During this scene, the projector was undergoing a software update, and only a moment after the 'update complete' notification showed up on the screen, he said "We're making a better world., and the entire theater burst into laughter. XD
One of my three favorite villains. The Operative, Hans Gruber and the guy in charge of the Feds in the first Jack Reacher movie. They all look good in a suit and are highly intelligent.
I love how he stops in the middle of giving her orders to provide what he views as 'comfort' to the man he just murdered in his final moments, his ethos is such a complex mix of ruthlessness and compassion.
Very good movie, I enjoyed it very much, hoped for the sequel, which never came. However, I tried to watch the TV series, wasn't to my taste, ofc they had very little budget for TV series and that showed a lot.
I think the Operative was created as an amalgamation of the Hands of Blue, because of movie budgets and all. Honestly, I like the Operative more than the Hands of Blue. While the HoB have cool gadgets and a steady drive to do their job, the Operative does his with just his mind and one weapon. Makes him feel a lot more dangerous than the HoB agents did in the episode Ariel.
Well, looks like this guy isn't one of those brutes that go around killing everyone. In fact, in the end, he even pardoned Mal and his crew because there was no need of further bloodshet even when Mal and his crew of beloved misfists were the reason why not only his mission, but the work of his life, had both failed miserably. Plus, he was already cleaning his sword, and no one cleans a bloody edge that is gonna get even more bloodier in a second. So I guess no, she's fine. Well, probably jobless, homeless and disgraced by the Alliance goverment, but alive. He killed the bodyguards because, well, they attacked first, and the doctor because it was probably his objective. But since the young miss isn't a threat nor a target, he probably just took the files she give him and gone.
Guards (with guns) decide that the best way to approach a man with a sword is to rush at him... instead of just distancing themselves and shoot him from different angle.
Man "Young Miss" looks so much like Sarah Paulson, who also has a cameo in this movie, it used to confuse the hell out of me - Trying to figure out if they were the same character, or just the same actor, if it was intentional, if it was a casting shortcut. Or if it was all in my head.
@@cliffy827 No. Sarah Paulson played Dr Caron - The one on the recording toward the end of the movie who got rekt by a bunch of reavers. This chick's name is Carrie 'CeCe' Cline
@@CaptainArn lol figured I'd have to explain my comment. It was a riff from Fight Club when Robert Paulson was killed by cops and the group was chanting "His name was Robert Paulson." My bad.
While the film did not do the series justice, it could have stood on it's own as a pretty good sci-fi flick. This character was one of the movie's stronger points imo
I actually saw the movie before I watched the series, and loved it. Even though I wasn't there in the beginning, I too am saddened and angered by it's cancellation.
@@skystryker2300 Same. I had no idea what I was going to go see what I got dragged to the theater. Now, a decade later, I am proud to have seen this in the theater. I disagree that the movie doesn't do the series justice. The things the series had in it's favor are weighed against having Ejiofor as your villain and the increased effects budget. Not to mention that the opening long take aboard Serenity is genius.
Why didn't the operative just kill the dude, instead of going through the trouble of paralyze the dude to fall forward towards the sword? (other than making this a cool scene) He had no qualm about killing people, and this death certainly counts as his kill (he was the one that made him fall forward, and he's the one that put the sword in the path, with the intention of him falling towards the sword).
The Assassin was compelling the Medic Character to die with the pride the character could not himself out of fear muster. In addition, it is being reinforced in us viewers that the Assassin operates within his own or his Order’s code of conduct however inexplicable we may find this.
Operative: We will have to reach out to River Tam and help her to come back to us. Note that he had decided that River wanted to return to them, despite having seen the footage of what they were doing to her when Simon busted her out.
it can, there is a clutch of nerver down there, connect with part of your spine, but to be able to do that, you have to be precise in milimeter, lighning quick strike and very strong hand, which mean years of training
The swordsman who's name I unfortunately don't know, is criminally underrated, he's cold, calculated, ruthless and intelligent, his demeanor just shouts death and that's why this actor will absolutely fulfil the role of Mordo in the MCU from now on, starting with Doctor Strange into the multiverse of madness.
So, is that scene like, before the series starts? since Simon rescues River. But in the series he always said he doesnt know what they did to River in that lab although he was explained by that dude who got killed here. Im confused :(
I think it's simply a matter of them changing this in the movie because they had needed this scene to introduce the Operative in the way they wanted. Yeah, a few things from the show to the movie don't line up but ultimately, it didn't matter.
I'll never understand people with guns vs people with melee weapons in movie scenes like this one. If you see someone with a melee weapon why would just move towards that person if you have a ranged weapon? Makes no sense. Still an awesome scene of one of my favorite movies of all time.
Because of how he was holding his sword. They probably don't deal with master swordsmen very often so they don't realize how he could have had the room to kill them so quickly. They also saw him as an ally right up until that moment and he did that right when they were already close together. Had they pulled back he could have just thrust towards him. His sword arm is going to have a pretty long range. The element of surprise is one of the most powerful forces in any battle. Sometimes it is the only force that matters.
they were going to restrain him not kill him lol he is a high ranking official. If you watch the full scene they actually change there tone when they find out he is beyond rank, one of the top dogs.
The above reactions may be a reason in this case but I too see these aspects in sooo many movies. At least ranged could aim for the knee in order to make the target immobilized if dead is not wanted. But in the meantime I have learned to laugh at certain scenes in a movie where I thought it's just 'boel-sjit'
The closest "pressure point" strike I know of that's regularly taught is a brachial stun. It's a hard palm heel strike or punch to the brachial plexus somewhere in the side of the neck that incapacitates you completely. You can see youtube videos of it if you search brachial stun.
No what he did was hit his kidney very hard probably punctured it, if youve ever boxed getting her there will usually drop you instantly to ur knees. Because ur freeze up, its almost like getting hit in the stomach and getting the wing knocked out of you but different. It wasnt a pressure point it was a kidney shot, below the back right and left ribs.

The above reactions may be a reason in this case but I too see these aspects in sooo many movies. At least ranged could aim for the knee in order to make the target immobilized if dead is not wanted. But in the meantime I have learned to laugh at certain scenes in a movie where I thought it's just 'boel-sjit'
1:20 yikes...
esse filme é muito top
I remember back then I thought that black guy is an amazing actor.
Why would the guards armed with pistols approach a guy with a sword?
Probably they were so transfixed with his gravitas they didnt think he actually had the balls to insist that the scientist perform sepuku right there?
I hope he tries this technique on Steven Strange in the next Dr. Strange movie.
So... stupid question:
Is there _anything_ whatsoever to that whole nerve-jab-twist thing, or...
Do you know what your sin is?
Hell I'm a fan of all 7
If we're going to have a black Bond, there's our man.
Is that pressure point actually real lol?
The closest "pressure point" strike I know of that's regularly taught is a brachial stun. It's a hard palm heel strike or punch to the brachial plexus somewhere in the side of the neck that incapacitates you completely. You can see youtube videos of it if you search brachial stun.
I found a good one that shows a Marine doing it to a SgtMaj. Just search Marine neck chop knockout.
No what he did was hit his kidney very hard probably punctured it, if youve ever boxed getting her there will usually drop you instantly to ur knees. Because ur freeze up, its almost like getting hit in the stomach and getting the wing knocked out of you but different. It wasnt a pressure point it was a kidney shot, below the back right and left ribs.
Tbh I couldn't stand him in 4 brothers... he doesn't play a tough guy good. Now, menacing villain absolutely
He probably wouldn't have fallen forwards if he had stared straight ahead instead of downwards at the sword....
What the hell was the purpose of killing him?
as an example to others
Loose ends.
@@thitsugaya1224 Agree, Dead man don't talk!!
Establishes character, tone of the film, foreshadows events to come.
He failed miserably. He literally exposed state secrets to a telepath. I mean if that doesn’t bring black ops to your door , nothing can…
How is he not in the who should play Bond talk ?
Or a Bond villian.
