The dialogue hits on entitlement, merit, and what real power and success are all about. Carl tells Eddie he hasn't "earned" his skills, saying true competence comes from grinding and experience, not just talent. It's a wake-up call for Eddie to realize that relying only on his super abilities won't cut it without some real-world hustle.
If you watched the movie. Eddie completely owns him in the end. He literally has a 4 digit IQ. No amount of experience can prepare you for someone like that. Having super intelligence allows you to maximize experience to the fullest. Some people play golf their entire lives, but still suck at it. Experience is not some panacea to getting wealth and power in life.
@@leifericson1658 If I knew it, I would write software and build robots claiming to have it so that I could fool noobs and live a wealthy life. And that's the point. PS: Unfortunately, my mom didn't raise a liar.
Carl made his way to the top without NZT…imagine if he took some? Verne said it works better if you are already smart..Carl would have taken over the entire world.
My fav scene of this movie, the monologue deniro delivered here is just awesome.

@@morpheusjones4384 It's actually a brutally blackpilling movie lmao. No amount of hard work can make up a substantial difference in talent.
Raw intelligence vs. Wisdom and lived experience.
It's so fun when movies want to pretend to know what intelligence is.
It’s a movie dude don’t take it so seriously

@@rafaelstveven nzt exist in real life
It would be way more different than what is shown in movie
Perfect delivery by De Niro 👌Masterclass 👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥
100% agree... And the look he gives while walking away... What an amazing actor. I wish there were more roles that fit his caliber as an artist.
In the ending scene Eddie reciprocates the unprepared line

The lovebomb at the end.
Oh that monologue
Fun fact: I’m the book Eddie asks if his boss meant thousands and the boss is the one who says it’s millions.
Robert De Niro was barely relevant to the plot, but my gods did he make the most of his role.
