I saw this movie for the first time in the theater when it was first released. This was an "art house" film back in the day so it played primarily in art houses rather then the theaters in malls. I was totally blown away by the film and never saw the ending coming. Seeing the lineup scene on the big screen is an experience you can't duplicate at home.
Volvo Doto There was uncontrollable shouts and cackling...it was intense. And it seemed to have played out so fast. Seemed to happen quite a bit quicker on the big screen. And true about the art houses. A handful of eclectic theatre owners acquired art house films that had significant buzz about them. This was definitely one of those.
Is Kint to creation of Söze, Söze the creation of Kint, or are Kint and Söze both creations of the unidentified man played by Spacey? There's no evidence in the film that Söze exists.
@@jamesfahey4508 Yes there is. The whole Argentinian boat thing with Hungarians on board was a protected witness who could identify Soze. And Kint was a real person who got murdered and was replaced by the character seen in this movie.
@@Williamnatekeatesdetective Dave kujan is scheduled for a huge promotion after this. He had keyzer soze in his office, unarmed, under arrest for six hours and he lef him go lol
No plot twist it was obvious Spacy was Káiser on the boat when the Baldwin gets stabbed Dean asked him what happened and he responded it with the strangest thing the crippled stabbing him would be the strangest thing if you didn’t figure it out at that point you’re an idiot…
I once met Pete Posslethwaite in a theatre bar. I was walking past the table where he was sitting. I pointed towards him and said "Kobayashi". He smiled and replied "could be". We both laughed and I continued on my way.
@@MrSte2phen I am inclined to believe it on the grounds that it doesnt have the crazy embellishment you get with a lot of people: "and then he invited me to play golf with him for a whole afternoon and we met Elizabeth Hurley and she and I made out" Etc. Etc. Etc. until they realize they went too far lol
Keyser and Kent both mean king. Soze and verbal both mean to speak. Therefore he was the king of speaking. I didn't figure that one out till about a year ago.
@@badcaseofthebajabada well, as a Turk, i also didn't see that coming. And also "söze" is not a word by itself. "sözel" is the right translation of "verbal".
Another little thing nobody noticed is the authenticity of the Hungarian witness - he pronounces “Soze” as “Shoze” - which makes sense because in Hungarian, unusually the letter “S” is pronounced as “sh”, while “sz” is pronounced “s”. Usually (eg in Polish), it is the other way round.
I freaking love this film, and that ending, even though it's a twist ending, it's not something that comes out of nowhere, it a genuinely twist that still ties in nicely with everything because essentially because the entire film is told in flashback, and from Verbal's perspective, it also meant that much of what he talked about may not have been true, but then again it's kinda like what 'Garak' from Deep Space Nine once told Dr. Bashir 'everything about me is true Doctor, especially the lies'. Because even in the lies there were elements of the truth, and by pretending to be stupid, pretending to be a cripple, Verbal essentially proved himself to be a lot smarter than his enemies. It's brilliant stuff.
It took me a while to really understand the ending plot twist. I really love movies that play with my mind like that. I agree 100% it was beautifully made. This was one of Bryan Singer's best films, he really has an interesting style!
I wonder how would Robert Goren from Law & Order Criminal Intent have handled Verbal´s narrative.... Robert Goren is a mastermind in solving cases ala Sherlock Holmes and getting into people´s head.
I saw this movie in the theater, and I've watched it a hundred times since. Only just now did I pick up on "It all makes sense when you look at it right, you've gotta stand back from it." Still learning new things about this movie. Incredible
lol, cus the inspector has bought by then all that he'd said very good and it's amazing that it's a new catch not a carryover in a remake, fell me? never dun before in a move that concept, right? any movie historians here?

I just noticed how everything the cop gives Verbal back is gold: his watch, his lighter and even the brand of marlboros he smokes. Very 'kingly' of him, hahaha.
Megaman 776 I can't tell that your wrong or not since theres a lot of translation for the word "King" in the German Language. but Kaiser means Emperor or a "King". But do you think "Konig Soze" will click on the viewers? "IT'S KONIG SOZE!" and about that "Military Ranking" thing you talking about. Who's the highest military officer/individual in a country? its the "Emperor"/"President"/"King", Right?
***** Its not a military rank, sorry if i wrote something wrong. The Kaiser is the defender of the occident and keeper of the christian religion. Whereas a king "only" rules a country.
Megaman 776 Rules a country therefore rules everything below him. Point being, if the military wanna do something, they gotta ask the King's approval/blessing for it. Can we just both agree that Kaiser = Emperor/King.
Oh man, me too. I've only seen it once but I went on its IMDB page after I watched it, and it reveals all these clues and I'm ashamed to say I missed them all pretty much. I had an inkling at one point, but then I forgot about it. I usually pick up on these things very easily, though!
I thought I had it sussed the whole time I thought it was Keaton and when the first twist happened I was so smug I thought I was right and then they hit you with the second one. Ugh I love it
"Don't make sense when you don't look at it right, you gotta like stand back from it." And that's exactly what Kujan did to solve the case he looked at it right, and stood back a little to see the whole picture.
Unlike most people , I knew this was coming all along throughout the movie - because my loud mouth twat face of a friend told me what was gonna happen and deprived me of one of the greatest plot twists in movie history. Thanks Fred
+sukh5252 I feel for ya man. What a douchebag your friend is. I am SOOOOO lucky I saw it in theaters on the first run, because I have tons of loud mouthed friends who just spill out spoilers of movies THEY'VE seen left and right. :)
+sukh5252 If you really had known it from the beginning you would have realize what was the first plot twist, because this movie has two plot twist, not one.
"Kobayashi" said that those working for Keyser Soze didn't even know it. Little did they know that they were working as pawns for Verbal/Keyser. So much of this movie I just keep thinking about and connecting the dots and I'm always thinking of new connections. Brilliant movie.
While many people know the twist nowadays, seeing the whole movie and then watching the ending scene unfold is such a joy to watch, and just elevates the experience.
I watched it for the first time recently, without even knowing there was a twist. I was absolutely mind blown and shocked when he started walking normally.
@alecopedia5744 Even knowing the twist it hits hard. There's a difference between a great twist and lying to ke the whole movie. Too many movies get confused on that but this movie may be the best at it ever. There are clues the entire movie.
I remember during the first 104 minutes of this movie, I was thinking "this movie kinda sucks"... then I got to this last 4 minutes of the film and I was thinking, "best movie ever!"
phanatic215 He killed them so they wouldn't have to live their lives with the memory of what was basically a home invasion/rape. Was any of that story true? Probably not, another lie from Spacey s character to keep the detective on the edge of his seat like a sucker.
PureDetroit thank you, like I started getting bored and I was complaining to my dad like "how long does this go for, when does the good part come?" and he kept on saying "just wait, you'll see" and the the end of the movie happened, and I was fucking mind blown! I couldn't stop think about how genius the whole plot twist is! Ahhh man I still cant get over it. So good.
You just know many of The Usual Suspects' creators snuck into theaters during opening weekend just to see how audiences would react. I can't even imagine how proud they must've felt.
The great thing is even after almost 20 years since the movie came out no one knows whether the story he was narrating to the cop was all fake, or the truth mixed with a lot of fake twists. It is absolutely brilliant.!!
personally I think he told the truth for the most part, but changed the names so it couldn't be checked. Redfoot real person fake name, him picking beans in Quatemalla made up.
@@iqbalmahmood7133 Only to those of us who remember it. Spacey's done, and his legacy isn't going to be perpetuated the way it will be for Oldman, Dafoe et al.
"Keaton always said: 'I don't believe in God but I'm afraid of Him. Well, I do believe in God and the only one I'm afraid of Agent Kujan is Keyser Soze'."
my father ruined this film for me. the entire day he said things like "you're going to love it" or "the twist in the end is amazing!" and shit like "it will blow your mind!" so in the end, when verbal turns out to be Keyser Soze, I honestly just saw it coming. which is a shame, because something tells me i would have fucking loved it.
When John Ottman's music seeped into the scene, and Agent Kujan dropped his cup, the penny finally dropped for me. I'm rarely spellbound by cinema, but this was definitely a rare gem. Flawless end to a flawless movie.
Greatest movie ending EVER! I still remember my jaw dropping wide open when I saw him walk away thinking "The whole time ... THE WHOLE TIME!!!?!??!??!"
The 1st time I saw this film I was struggling to keep my eyes open during it. It was only those 5 final minutes that made it feel like a slap on my face!!! BRILLIANT.
I remember watching this movie the first time and probably letting the credits role for their entirety because my jaw was literally on the floor, one of the best plot twists in movie history
I liked it too but if you think about it it's just about as cliché as when the movie ends and everything up until that point was a dream thereby negating everything that happened before.
Eugene Sesma III Not really. Because at least some of the things that Verbal talked about had to have happened (the boat shootout, for instance), we just don't know the 100% details of everything leading up to it and what was true and what wasn't.
yea it should. in 50 first dates drew Barrymore blatantly gives away the secret to the movie the sixth sense, totally fuckin ruined it when I watched it
When I first saw this film with my buddy, we immediately rewatched it again. It's a different film the second time around. One of the greatest films ever made.
I’ve seen this movie probably a dozen times at this point. And with out fail at 1:45 to the very I end I get chills every time! Scenes like this make me feel unsettled in a way that most horror movies today can’t do
The best part of this movie comes when you watch it again, and you can see Kevin Spacy playing Keyser Soze playing Verbal. It's a brilliant performance.
@@paulgerard410 No, he wasn't Verbal. Verbal was a sniveling two-bit crippled submissive beta male criminal persona who didn't exist, while Soze was both a truly masterful liar and almost surely a criminal mastermind (though we don't know what events in the movie actually happened, it's heavily implied). That's the whole point of the twist.
@@paulgerard410 No: Roger Kint was murdered, and his body found. Soze was clearly a real person, but possibly with a lot of hyperbole and myths attached regarding his life.
@@mikespearwood3914I thought Verbal Kint is a real person who is Keyser Soze: and he took on the persona of a man he had already killed before he arrived at the police station
The movie itself was absolutely incredible! But that ending was so amazingly crafted, with Agent Kujan sudden realization and then we are spoon fed his realization in those final few seconds only to be left as stunned as he was! The acting, writing, direction all combined seamlessly! Even after all these years, I still get chills watching this! Amazing, incredible work!
@@33Luger tek kevin did wine the academy award for this mlvie thwn 22 yers later he fotnkixked out of the academy because he like playing with his boy toys too much
Whats interesting is how did the crew die because they did exist. And the story of keyser killing his family is true. Keaton is dead its confirmed by the dental records.
It's 2024, almost 30 years since I saw it in the theater when it came out, and this scene still runs shivers up my spine every time. Few movies could duplicate this feeling - this is the power of good filmmaking.
Anyone who wants to ruin the movie for them in the beginning scene where the killer is lighting a cigarette with a gold lighter in the scene where he gets his items back the guy says "One watch gold, One lighter Gold and A pack of cigarettes BAM!
Right as he walks out you just have this feeling like something's up. Something isn't right and something is missing. And I think the moment he walks out you put it together and realize that Verbal was the only one who could have pulled this all off, and the NYPD just let the very guy they've been chasing slip away w/out even knowing it. When we come to that realization it's just like 15 seconds before Agent Kujan discovered it for himself, so I don't think it really took anything away from the movie. But it was just a total mind blow in that moment because no one suspected a cripple to be Keyser Soze.
In my mind, this is THE MOST INTENSE AND AMAZING ending of a movie. Well acted... Well directed... Well edited... And the soundtrack gives me goosebumps.... Love it!!!
Brother Mouzone nah sixth sense plot twist was better, literally no one and I mean absolutely no one thought that Bruce Willis was dead until it’s revealed
Azafe Bandeira de Oliveira Yea I saw the sixth sense coming, not even gonna lie here. This, blew my mind and I even knew a twist was coming, probably because there was a double twist but still.
One of the creative heroes of this movie is John Ottman, who both edited it and composed the score (another is DP Newton Thomas Siegel). Try and imagine watching this scene without the music. It plays at about 10 percent of its impact. Ottman (and the sound designer's) layerings of all the conversation and the timing of when to cut visually, when to do an instant flashback, and when to stay in the present. It's a perfect assembly AND a perfect score;.
Agree - editors are the somewhat overlooked co-authors of films. They do everything you just described above, are often the only real confident of the director (Ridley Scott talks about going to his editor at the end of very long days to have a drink and see rough cuts), are also often the first person a director chooses to work with (see also DP...)
A little obscure, but I love the shot of Verbal/Soze's feet going from limping to a normal stride. It reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode "The Howling Man" where the Devil is released from his cell and his feet go from normal to hooves.
@@schematicb5393 I know right? Who would have thunk that any one could be a fan of two obscure things at the same time like the multimillion grossing film The Usual Suspects would also be a fan of one of the most influential and popular television programs of all time?
This is hands down the greatest twist of all time. Easily one of the most re watchable Films of all time BecAuse so much is happening at once you notice something new with every line or facial expression, People who think it’s obvious probably heard there was a twist and looked for the least likely person. Or they watched it k owing who it was and saw it trying to forget that fact and says to themselves “yeah I would of Figured this out “ no. In 1995 when movies could still be made without everything having to have a damn twist you would likely not have figured this out at all. This movie inspired so many screenwriters to write twists that happen just because of how much this shocked people. At first I thought it was a bit overrated but I knew the twist and was Young and naive. Boy was I wrong. Each viewing gave me a greater appreciation and it’s probably my favourite movie ever now.
I would argue the Warden, police chief, and Morgan freeman’s characters from The Shawshank Redemption finding Andy’s escape tunnel is slightly more great.
1:19 - 1:27 anyone notice how this bit of casual conversation dialogue is reflective on so many aspects of this movie? It's also advice the cop should've followed since the beginning ;)
“It all makes sense when you look at it right. You gotta stand back from it.” There is something so brilliant about the thesis statement of a film being delivered in this throwaway jokey way by a tertiary cop character whose main job in the film was to just get coffee.
FALSE!!!! He was VERY IMPORTANT. IE: The interrogation HAD TO take place in someone else’s office, other than Agent Kujan, because, if it was agent Kujan’s Office, he would know most of the references Kint was inventing. The Magic Is: When Agent Kujan began MINDLESSLY LOOKING AT THE WALL, he realized what had just happened. If it was HIS OWN OFFICE, there wouldn’t have been that MOMENT OF DISCOVERY. So: THE ENTIRE PURPOSE OF DAN HEDAYA’S CHARACTER WAS TO BE THE DUDE WHO HAD CREATED THAT WALL.
This is why cops interrogate prisoners in a room with no distractions or ideas. One of the greatest plot twists in the history of cinema. Not bad for Bryan Singer's directorial debut.
I think the purpose behind the abnormal interview is that Soze was in control the whole time. He knew he would go with on bail. He knew he wouldn’t get interviewed in a normal area. From then on, he just beat them at their own game.
What about Jade with chazz palminteri, David Caruso and Linda fiorentino? The ending you never expected was when chazz palminteri admits to his wife that he killed Medford in the beginning of the film because Medford was going to blackmail them with pictures of palminteri's wife sleeping with other men.
@markorevan Its a good movie, but other than the wife's head in the box, theres no twist. The killer isn't even someone seen before the scene where he turns himself in. Brad killing himself instead of the killer would've shocked me tho 😂.
This is one of those movies, the ones where you watch the entire thing, and then realize very little that happened in the story actually happened. Of "those" movies this is one of the best.

Declan Hearne seriously the most satisfying part of the whole movie. Fuck its good.
+Declan Hearne
...Until he resurfaces 20 years later as one ruthless President of the United States.
Rhythm X you may take the floor in competition.
The great thing is even after almost 20 years since the movie came out no one knows whether the story he was narrating to the cop was all fake, or the truth mixed with a lot of fake twists.
It is absolutely brilliant.!!
you realize that nobody will ever know, regardless of the number of years since the movie's release, since the movie is fictional, right?
offcourse i knw that man!!
aftertouchbeatz In the context of its universe, though...nobody will know.
aftertouchbeatz oh oh, we got us a genius here boys;-p i kid
personally I think he told the truth for the most part, but changed the names so it couldn't be checked. Redfoot real person fake name, him picking beans in Quatemalla made up.
This is one hell of a movie. And one of the greatest endings ever. And yes, Kevin Spacey is a lowlife. But he's one hell of an actor.
That's not deaths
And like that.....Kevin Spacey's career is gone lol
(Golf clap) Well played, Sir!
lmao
But his legendary work didn't
@@iqbalmahmood7133 Only to those of us who remember it. Spacey's done, and his legacy isn't going to be perpetuated the way it will be for Oldman, Dafoe et al.
It’s a damn shame.
This and Shawshank Redemption are my two favorite movies of all time. The ending still blows me away.
Check out dead man's shoes
You may already have its quality
The ending of the first Saw gets me too
"Keaton always said: 'I don't believe in God but I'm afraid of Him. Well, I do believe in God and the only one I'm afraid of Agent Kujan is Keyser Soze'."
The closeup moment gives me chills every time. A true masterpiece
This is my personal favorite movie ending
"I can't feel my legs, Keyser."
my father ruined this film for me. the entire day he said things like "you're going to love it" or "the twist in the end is amazing!" and shit like "it will blow your mind!" so in the end, when verbal turns out to be Keyser Soze, I honestly just saw it coming. which is a shame, because something tells me i would have fucking loved it.
You would've
just watched it again today funnily enough :D
That Reference Guy I watched it on netlfix not even knowing there was a Kyzer Soze or a twist ending
My parents did the same thing, but I didn't figure it out
what a dick
When John Ottman's music seeped into the scene, and Agent Kujan dropped his cup, the penny finally dropped for me. I'm rarely spellbound by cinema, but this was definitely a rare gem. Flawless end to a flawless movie.
I love that look on the agent's face when he realizes that he played by Keyser after calling him stupid.
Greatest movie ending EVER! I still remember my jaw dropping wide open when I saw him walk away thinking "The whole time ... THE WHOLE TIME!!!?!??!??!"
i love this scene so much. i wish i could unsee it and then watch the movie for the first time again :).
Pussy Cat I was literally shocked for a minute when I saw this scene
ajax 711 I just spliced some food when I watched the last seen
The 1st time I saw this film I was struggling to keep my eyes open during it. It was only those 5 final minutes that made it feel like a slap on my face!!!
BRILLIANT.
I remember watching this movie the first time and probably letting the credits role for their entirety because my jaw was literally on the floor, one of the best plot twists in movie history
literally?!!!
Back when movies were about good story telling
+Mcderple Berry This is what one would call blinded by nostalgia.
+El Diablo Nostalgia is just a way to dismiss the validity of it. It's the truth.
+El Diablo
This is what one would call a millennial.
I liked it too but if you think about it it's just about as cliché as when the movie ends and everything up until that point was a dream thereby negating everything that happened before.
Eugene Sesma III Not really. Because at least some of the things that Verbal talked about had to have happened (the boat shootout, for instance), we just don't know the 100% details of everything leading up to it and what was true and what wasn't.
I had this spoiled for me by American dad. There should be a class action lawsuit against them for spoiling this ending for people.
Baron Ockslite i knew a seth macfarlane show ruined this for me- lol must've been american dad
I had it spoiled by Scary Movie... >_>
Yeah if you haven't seen this by now, tough titty. 20 years old at least mate.
yea it should. in 50 first dates drew Barrymore blatantly gives away the secret to the movie the sixth sense, totally fuckin ruined it when I watched it
Baron Ockslite Kinda like Family guy spoiling citizen Kane.
When I first saw this film with my buddy, we immediately rewatched it again. It's a different film the second time around. One of the greatest films ever made.
I’ve seen this movie probably a dozen times at this point. And with out fail at 1:45 to the very I end I get chills every time! Scenes like this make me feel unsettled in a way that most horror movies today can’t do
The best part of this movie comes when you watch it again, and you can see Kevin Spacy playing Keyser Soze playing Verbal. It's a brilliant performance.
This was my first reaction to the scene...
Holy shit! Now I have to watch it again!
He was Verbal. Soze was just a persona he took on to scare people and bend them to his will.
@@paulgerard410 No, he wasn't Verbal. Verbal was a sniveling two-bit crippled submissive beta male criminal persona who didn't exist, while Soze was both a truly masterful liar and almost surely a criminal mastermind (though we don't know what events in the movie actually happened, it's heavily implied). That's the whole point of the twist.
@@paulgerard410 No: Roger Kint was murdered, and his body found. Soze was clearly a real person, but possibly with a lot of hyperbole and myths attached regarding his life.
@@mikespearwood3914I thought Verbal Kint is a real person who is Keyser Soze: and he took on the persona of a man he had already killed before he arrived at the police station
The movie itself was absolutely incredible! But that ending was so amazingly crafted, with Agent Kujan sudden realization and then we are spoon fed his realization in those final few seconds only to be left as stunned as he was! The acting, writing, direction all combined seamlessly! Even after all these years, I still get chills watching this! Amazing, incredible work!
I didn't figure it out and usually I am pretty good at that. Academy Award for Kevin. Well done Sir!
That's a really good way for us to learn that Kujan is not a fool, he clocked it really quickly, just not quick enough.
@@33Luger tek kevin did wine the academy award for this mlvie thwn 22 yers later he fotnkixked out of the academy because he like playing with his boy toys too much
Whats interesting is how did the crew die because they did exist. And the story of keyser killing his family is true. Keaton is dead its confirmed by the dental records.
It's 2024, almost 30 years since I saw it in the theater when it came out, and this scene still runs shivers up my spine every time. Few movies could duplicate this feeling - this is the power of good filmmaking.
I love how it cuts to black then he says "He's gone" It's symbolic of him disappearing
Anyone who wants to ruin the movie for them in the beginning scene where the killer is lighting a cigarette with a gold lighter in the scene where he gets his items back the guy says "One watch gold, One lighter Gold and A pack of cigarettes BAM!
+UtorisSonOfGaia He gets his items back like 1 minute before the cop figures it out. So it doesn't ruin the movie for you at all.
+UtorisSonOfGaia Subliminal shit like that will go past a viewers mind if hes is occupied with trivial bs lol. Fuck what a great movie.....
+UtorisSonOfGaia i have a simpler solution.
Just say : " Kevin Spacey is Kaiser Soze "
Simple and elegant way to ruin te movie :)
+MovieHound17 its not subliminal. its foreshadowing subliminal means you hide a message in something
Right as he walks out you just have this feeling like something's up. Something isn't right and something is missing. And I think the moment he walks out you put it together and realize that Verbal was the only one who could have pulled this all off, and the NYPD just let the very guy they've been chasing slip away w/out even knowing it. When we come to that realization it's just like 15 seconds before Agent Kujan discovered it for himself, so I don't think it really took anything away from the movie. But it was just a total mind blow in that moment because no one suspected a cripple to be Keyser Soze.
One of the greatest master pieces ever made !!
In my mind, this is THE MOST INTENSE AND AMAZING ending of a movie.
Well acted...
Well directed...
Well edited...
And the soundtrack gives me goosebumps....
Love it!!!
The SERIOUS music specifically came right at 1:48 because that's when Kujan starts to notice the truth!!! Great movie making!
This ending, the music, the detective slowly realizing who he just talked to, always gives me the chills
Best plot twist in a movie I've ever seen
Kirsty Rosie I would go with Sixth Sense
@@vuls81 LOL SS is trash.
Brother Mouzone nah sixth sense plot twist was better, literally no one and I mean absolutely no one thought that Bruce Willis was dead until it’s revealed
Nah, Sixth Sense is kinda predictable if you think about it.
This one here, you can predict, but it's definitely not predictable.
Azafe Bandeira de Oliveira
Yea I saw the sixth sense coming, not even gonna lie here. This, blew my mind and I even knew a twist was coming, probably because there was a double twist but still.
The cup dropping and breaking is honestly so epic! It gives such a dramatic effect
Imagine trying this ending today with social media and everything we have... You'd need to be the first people to see it without it being spoiled
Zamin A eve then your friends would be talking about it whenever you went out with them
Fair point just being on you tube without looking a thumbnail would pop up . That alone would ruin it for you .
@@samuraisoul1043 “KEVIN SPACEY WAS THE BAD GUY?! (NOT CLICKBAIT) (EMOTIONAL)”
"Now yous can't leave"
Still gives me goosebumps!! Kevin spacey; the greatest actor to play a villain, ever!
Oh no
You used a semicolon instead of a colon.
David Harrison oh geez grammar nazi
was he really acting though?
Oldman or Walken, although Spacey is great too.
What made this scene great was all the details in cinematography, without it that plot twist wouldn't be so iconic, now.
One of the creative heroes of this movie is John Ottman, who both edited it and composed the score (another is DP Newton Thomas Siegel). Try and imagine watching this scene without the music. It plays at about 10 percent of its impact. Ottman (and the sound designer's) layerings of all the conversation and the timing of when to cut visually, when to do an instant flashback, and when to stay in the present. It's a perfect assembly AND a perfect score;.
Agree - editors are the somewhat overlooked co-authors of films. They do everything you just described above, are often the only real confident of the director (Ridley Scott talks about going to his editor at the end of very long days to have a drink and see rough cuts), are also often the first person a director chooses to work with (see also DP...)
One of the best movie ending of all time. Love it. Keyser Soze.
A little obscure, but I love the shot of Verbal/Soze's feet going from limping to a normal stride. It reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode "The Howling Man" where the Devil is released from his cell and his feet go from normal to hooves.
I twunderly wunder!
A Twilight Zone AND a Usual Suspects fan? A man of culture as well. And that's really interesting about the Howling Man; I never thought of that
The only difference is that in twilight it was thanks to CGI and in usual suspects it was thanks to Kevin Spacey.
@@ebynmatthews CGI? In 1960? Camera tricks maybe.
@@schematicb5393 I know right? Who would have thunk that any one could be a fan of two obscure things at the same time like the multimillion grossing film The Usual Suspects would also be a fan of one of the most influential and popular television programs of all time?
This is hands down the greatest twist of all time. Easily one of the most re watchable
Films of all time BecAuse so much is happening at once you notice something new with every line or facial expression, People who think it’s obvious probably heard there was a twist and looked for the least likely person. Or they watched it k owing who it was and saw it trying to forget that fact and says to themselves “yeah I would of
Figured this out
“ no. In 1995 when movies could still be made without everything having to have a damn twist you would likely not have figured this out at all. This movie inspired so many screenwriters to write twists that happen just because of how much this shocked people. At first I thought it was a bit overrated but I knew the twist and was
Young and naive. Boy was I wrong. Each viewing gave me a greater appreciation and it’s probably my favourite movie ever now.
Convince me this isn't the greatest 5 minutes in the history of cinema. Seen maybe 50 times and it still gives me chills.
I would argue the Warden, police chief, and Morgan freeman’s characters from The Shawshank Redemption finding Andy’s escape tunnel is slightly more great.
The Greatest Trick The Devil ever pulled, was convincing The World He didn't Exist!! Classic Ending!!!
No words to explain the greatness of this movie
Probably the most suspense thriller masterpiece ever created
One of the most under rated and best movies of all time ,, loved it
1:19 - 1:27 anyone notice how this bit of casual conversation dialogue is reflective on so many aspects of this movie? It's also advice the cop should've followed since the beginning ;)
Yea! When he said "you gotta stand back from it" he did and he realized the truth a little too late
Yep.
I watched Scary Movie before this, so it kinda ruined the ending for me ^^
+JacobOlli me too xD
+JacobOlli morons who made Scary Movie...
+JacobOlli SAME!!!!!!!! and i like your profile pic i love the hodgetwins
The First scary movie???
Vee! Pee! Yeah
Hands down,
The greatest plot twist ever in a movie. This is brilliant!
the entire cast : masters of their craft. expertly done throughout, a wonderful endeavor!!!!!!
Guess kujan wasn't smarter after all
The detective from 3:13 is played by the same actor as Gus Fring in Breaking Bad!
what? that's a completely different person
It's Giancarlo Esposito, just look it up.
man, he looks completely different here
pathall He does, but he's a very diverse actor. He looks different in every role he plays.
“It all makes sense when you look at it right. You gotta stand back from it.”
There is something so brilliant about the thesis statement of a film being delivered in this throwaway jokey way by a tertiary cop character whose main job in the film was to just get coffee.
FALSE!!!! He was VERY IMPORTANT.
IE: The interrogation HAD TO take place in someone else’s office, other than Agent Kujan, because, if it was agent Kujan’s Office, he would know most of the references Kint was inventing.
The Magic Is:
When Agent Kujan began MINDLESSLY LOOKING AT THE WALL, he realized what had just happened.
If it was HIS OWN OFFICE, there wouldn’t have been that MOMENT OF DISCOVERY.
So:
THE ENTIRE PURPOSE OF DAN HEDAYA’S CHARACTER WAS TO BE THE DUDE WHO HAD CREATED THAT WALL.
This is one of those movies I'd like to forget, so I can go back and watch it for the first time. The feeling of those last few scenes. 💓💓
I'm so glad I watched this movie not knowing a thing about it! Only first saw it a year and a half ago!
This ending gives me shivers every time
even after all these years, still goosebumps. such a great ending to a great film. masterpiece.
One of my all time favorites, even knowing how it ends this scene still gives me the shivers every time. Perfectly paced, with a gut punch conclusion.
And like that "fwooh" he's gone.
I think I just came that ending was so good.
I’ve actually never been able to make it through this movie, but I watch this scene all the time. Brilliant editing, especially that very last note
Me either.
The whole story from a wall with pictures and newspapers
What a great movie
Gotta the best movie ending ever! And I miss Pete Postlethwait--a
...atruly underrated actor.
+Miel Mani I don't think a revered actor with two Oscars is underrated.
+Miel Mani Oh I'm sorry, though you was talking about Kevin. Yep he's very good :(
+Conrad Duren I was talking about Pete Postelthwaite, who played Mr. Kobayashi, not Kevin Spacey. Postelthwaite died a few years ago.
And like that, "fwooh" hes gone. BEST. TWIST. EVER.
A masterclass in film editing!
This is why cops interrogate prisoners in a room with no distractions or ideas. One of the greatest plot twists in the history of cinema. Not bad for Bryan Singer's directorial debut.
I think the purpose behind the abnormal interview is that Soze was in control the whole time. He knew he would go with on bail. He knew he wouldn’t get interviewed in a normal area. From then on, he just beat them at their own game.
This film is just already so good, so to finish it with the music, the voices, the suspense, the confusion just makes it even more incredible.
This and Seven (both w Kevin Spacey), IMPOSSIBLE to see it coming!
IMPOSSIBLE!
Key to Usual Suspects - follow the (gold) cigarette lighter!
What about Jade with chazz palminteri, David Caruso and Linda fiorentino? The ending you never expected was when chazz palminteri admits to his wife that he killed Medford in the beginning of the film because Medford was going to blackmail them with pictures of palminteri's wife sleeping with other men.
Way to spoil seven for me
And the watch and the brand of smokes and the way he held the gun and the always 2 shots
Asimobi Emmanuel
How tf did he spoil seven? He just said it had a good twist and that Kevin Spacey was in it, which changes nothing if you know that.
@markorevan Its a good movie, but other than the wife's head in the box, theres no twist. The killer isn't even someone seen before the scene where he turns himself in. Brad killing himself instead of the killer would've shocked me tho 😂.
Kevin Spacey. One fucking magnificent actor.
3:12 Yes it's young Gustavo Fring right there.
Amazing, didnt find the film as good as made out to be until the ending, nothing beats this
Cat Branchman brought me here
me too! lol
Same
Who hangs out at the "clutching kitten".
The greatest movie scene of all time change my mind
Nice
Every time I watch this ending I wish I could go back to the first time I saw it. Greatest ending ever.
Saw this in the theater. My mouth was agape for a solid two minutes.
THE... GREATEST... ENDING...EVER!!!
The music during the bulletin board revelation is phenomenal 🙌
This is one of those movies, the ones where you watch the entire thing, and then realize very little that happened in the story actually happened. Of "those" movies this is one of the best.
