Levon Helm. This scene was just so... weird and felt so real. I've met guys like this character. My step grandfather was one of them. When I say guys like him, I mean old military dude that's seen some real shit, take no shit, and can see through shit. So this scene struck a cord and I will always remember it.

Yeah, I've had relatives like that. Oldest cousin 3 tours in Vietnam one with MAAG. Grandpa who fought in WW1 and the Polish Soviet War. Good lord and old Cpt.Phil who was special forces and worked for Air America building air strips out in the jungle.
I have or had a few family members that were in WWII and Vietnam. Neither of them say much about it. All my Grandpa ever said was that he was a tail gunner in WWII and walk away
This was an okay movie but it was an outstanding book. I would advise anyone to pick up this book and read it. As far as a single book goes not part of a series this is one of my five favorites.
🎵The scene that drove Mark Wallberg down, and all the Bells were ringing 🎶 🎶The lines the drove young Markie round , that Levon was bringin🎵 🎶They went na na na na na na na na na na na na na na NA.🎵
Its a movie buddy. Made to seem “awesome and cool”. If you truly believe the script Some Guy in Hollywood wrote to make money you should check yourself for schizophrenia. Better yet, to feed that schizophrenia. Foreign actors are infiltrating social media to enlarge these ideas of conspiracy to undermine our freedom and democracy. Think about that. Furthermore, the “mainstream media” is keeping us unaware of the real problems. The real issues of class divide is truly the real problem. All this culture war shit wouldnt matter if our economic situation was solid. Everybody is being played, right and left. This is not Some communist manifesto, but the rich have way too much power.
Best scene in the whole movie! The way this guy delivers the dialog is just so real! The guy has a way about him that makes him look like he can see right thru you! Powerful scene!
Agree completely. After telling Swaggert... "the moment you think you got it, you're wrong" he pointed to head three times with a head nod. Knowledge, wisdom.
That "Still got the shovel" line always makes me smile. Also, his comment about how a Conspiracy works? Probably accurate. No loose ends means no unexpected issues to account for.
I think it's funny how the junior FBI agent suspects foul play. Just applying common sense to reports and timeline. Bang...his career is ruined and he is dead. Would have been. Haha. Great movie!
@@wackousersden4726 it's a phrase that means a particular actor performed really well in a scene, usually someone other than the lead. In this case, Levon Helm, a musician turned actor, played his character extremely well.
Levon Helm is criminally underrated as an actor and a musician. The Band is still on my playlist to this day. Every workout “the night they drove old Dixie down” is one of the greatest songs most people have never heard of. RIP Mr. Helm 🙏🏻
i don't think anyone underrates him as a musician, buddy, calm down. first of all, you can't underrate anyone who can sing while playing the drums. phil collins, karen carpenter, that chick from the white stripes . . . that shit takes a lot of practice. and as for acting, eh, he's as good or bad as most of them. nothing terribly special. by the way, fun conspiracy fact: did you know one of the watergate burglars became a hollywood actor appearing in movies and television up until his death?
While there might be too many young'uns who don't know the tune, among my tribe that song is canon. I've been playing it live for years. In fact, here's a little true story. Some years back I was at an open mic in Gettysburg, PA. A tourist came in and asked the host if she could play "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." She didn't know it, but I did. Now I am a man of faith (as best I can be) and I don't go in for ghosts or supernatural phenomena -- I know better than to mess with that -- but I swear to you, as I was singing that song, I got the distinct impression that the spirits of young men on both sides came close to listen. Never had that feeling before or since, and I'm getting chills just telling this story. And yes, Levon Helm was a great actor and musician.
Some dudes are just so legend….and natural for a part….that they make a big splash when they show up. Even briefly. Helm is one. Another was (any Sopranos fans here?) Sidney Pollock. Played the orderly in the prison when Johnny Sack was in the prison hospital for lung cancer. Made the scene memorable and enjoyable to watch. RIP to Pollock and Helm.
This seen is so good, besides all of Helm's lines, I love that he starts off talking about Swagger making the shot, you can say probably not yet fully knowing that that is who he is talking to, although probably has some suspicion, they go through their talk and then Helm checks Swaggers hand and correctly identifies him as gunny. So it really makes you wonder if he knew he was talking to Swagger the whole time. Either way great scene, love the closeness of the cards played to the chest.
I think Helm knew which of the two was the shooter when he deliberately touched FBI agents hands. When I first saw this in cinema I had no idea why he did that.
He was awesome, this was actually several years after his illness. Around this time he recorded his comeback album. I know cancers can have a tendency to come back but he never quit smoking and I wonder if he'd still be with us if he had given it up.

From the first time I've seen this movie, this scene stuck out for me because of that man (Levon Helms) they came to see. "I still got the shovel" is such a badass line.
This is my favorite scene from the whole movie. The shovel line always cracks me up. But the change in tone near the end was what really got me. This is a man who knows things, dangerous things, and is still alive at his ripe age. "Beware of an old man in a profession where men usually die young."

Great acting, really good writing, but really great acting, this old man can sing a song( look him up you will be surprised ) and act a part! I say that out of respect because I’m an old guy too!
Paper patching was the absolute best way to achieve accuracy in the black powder days. Rifling in the barrel does not deform the bullet, or leave marks even. The kicker is that the bore of the barrel has be large enough for the bullet to drop through without the paper. The 2200 yard shot is improbable, but possible.
@@bbltd.3154 unless its saboted, which is the point of the paper. Not much different than a slug out of a rifled shotgun barrel. The base of the shot cup expands to seal, and the sides of the cup ride the rifling to impart twist, all the while that fat 1oz slug is just along for the ride none the less for wear.
@@AnoopTony contrary to common thought bullets are pretty resistant to deforming, thats why we have to modify their design with things like hollow points or serations to help facilitate controlled deformation, or more accurately expansion. A round that mushrooms will impart far more kinetic energy than one that doesn't, this increases lethality and limits risk of over penetration. These designs have a higher ballistic coefficient though and see limited use in precision shooting due to the adverse effects. A solid tip like on a full metal jacket round will fly faster and lose less velocity than a hollow point counterpart. This limits the amount of time and effect outside variables like wind can adversely influence the trajectory. Being a steel cored fully jacketed round though makes them extremely resilient to deformation unless they strike a surface harder than them and of enough weight to allow sufficient kinetic energy transfer. We've pulled 7.62x39mm, 7.62x54r, and .556 rounds out of earthen berm backstops that first passed through 1/4" steel plates that showed little more than surface scratches. Had plenty with bend tips too, which could probably be reworked back into usable shape if they absolutely had to be. The whole premise is a bit far fetched in the movie, but it is plausible with him being a precision shooter (likely using a solid round) shooting at a tin can of beef stew with an earthen backstop (limited potential for deformation). The odds of it all coming together are just incredibly long.
Most of us have met someone like this. Someone who, in our estimation, has a few screws loose. Spouts off about conspiracy theories and tells you stories about themselves that you suspect are an exaggeration, if not totally fabricated. But what if they were true and we think we are the smart ones?
Well, the grassy knoll part isn't true, that shot came from the car behind kennedy. That's why the rear guard were removed. Watch enough of the footage and you see him hip fire the AR15 he's bringing up.
@@ancientrenegade9243 Well, that was certainly handy for that camera to record that angle at that time... . "Just when you think you got it figured out...'
He was checking for a callus. Someone with enough time behind a rifle would have a callus on his shooting hand. That's why he checked the first guy's hand when he brought the book over and also why he checked Bob's hand.
@@pygmis - most Marines have callouses on that part of the hand from doing pull ups two or three times a week. I’ve been retired for 20 years and have stopped doing pull ups but I still have callouses in that area on both hands.
@@fanman8102 also shooting calluses, he’ll also have figured the FBI dude for law enforcement, just by noticing calluses for handgun practices and office “softness”, that is if I was writing the scene.
thing about guys like this, is that you hope they have someone to pass it all to. that room with all of those books and file cabinets, you don't see that much anymore.
Lavon grew up about 15 miles from me . Marvel Arkansas. He played drums at my aunt's place Delta Supper Club in West Helena Arkansas for Ronnie South. He meet Bob Dylan there. The rest is history.
No writer came up with these lines. Mark doesn't know squat about any of this. I want to talk to the man who they hired as a consultant. Most would start running in the presence such a one, not me or a few others. Even the hardened would weep. We seek solitude and only tolerate those that are as we are and no one else. Folks if your stunned with a key hole view. what would you do if the whole book opened up and all those events and all those nightmares got into your conscience and memories? Levon deserves his due for his portrayal..........
It’s a gift, but one that most cannot endure - like perverts in a hall of mirrors. They cancelled Rubicon because it revealed too much. Lots of predictive programming has been leaching out of HollyWeird for decades, but occasionally they offer pearls with a backward glance. This single scene is a notable gem in an otherwise moderately interesting tale. A limited hangout of the Charlie Wilson type. Peace
When old man said I still have the shovel n feels marks hand n said world ain’t what it seems is it gunny. One of the best scenes In the whole movie n it’s actually true everything the old man was sayn A lot of shit we r made to believe n it’s not all true my granddad told me long time ago b4 he pass. Never believe nothing U hear n only have of what u see.
Actually, Anna Nicole DID marry for love. The guy she married was a Billionaire who was two steps away from dying. Call me cynical, but she must of loved that.
FUCK! I just realised the old man was scoping out which one of them was Bob Lee Swagger, by just feeling their hands for calluses and wear/tear! That's why he felt Nicks hand when passing the book! And then grabbed Swaggers hand to absolutely confirm it was him! Awesome details!
How accurate would have paper-wrapped bullet be? The bullet is not going to catch the grooves of the rifling and are you going to need them oversized bore
Dude u don’t have a clue. How bout u wrap ur hands around a gun stock for hours after hours days in end. Of course u would know that if u used ur hands whatsoever. Shame on u. Bless our troops.
@@visualintegration1121 I never had calluses on my hands, its called wearing gloves, and ive shot easily upwards of 150,000 rounds through all types on weapons, pistols, SA80 a1/a2, L96, Minimi, GPMG and M2.
I like how he checked their hands for calluses.. Anyone who shoots repetitive shooting develops callouses on their hands. Only someone who shoots or someone who trains people to shoot would know that.
Know a old timer like this he's a wiz at fire arms vehicles heavy equipment repair ,most older vehicles he can make run again mostly stays in his house shop

What did you think of the film?
@@staytrue5307 one of the greats. rewatchable
Great acting, really good writing, but really great acting, this old man can sing a song( look him up you will be surprised ) and act a part! I say that out of respect because I’m an old guy too!
A great film always needs outstanding side characters... They may only have a 2 minute scene but they make such a difference.
I doubt this guy would let a guy wearing a che Guevara shirt in his house
The part where he talks about the grassy knoll really makes me think??
Dont comment often. But this scene is mezmerizing. Levon! Just wow.
"The moment you think you got it figured, you're wrong!" Just sort of seals the whole conversation.
Paper patching was the absolute best way to achieve accuracy in the black powder days. Rifling in the barrel does not deform the bullet, or leave marks even. The kicker is that the bore of the barrel has be large enough for the bullet to drop through without the paper. The 2200 yard shot is improbable, but possible.
Rifling does leave marks. 100% of the time
@@bbltd.3154 unless its saboted, which is the point of the paper. Not much different than a slug out of a rifled shotgun barrel. The base of the shot cup expands to seal, and the sides of the cup ride the rifling to impart twist, all the while that fat 1oz slug is just along for the ride none the less for wear.
one thing i dont understand.. If the bullet is fired, it will impact on something.. and that will deform the bullet. How come it can be reused?
@@AnoopTony contrary to common thought bullets are pretty resistant to deforming, thats why we have to modify their design with things like hollow points or serations to help facilitate controlled deformation, or more accurately expansion. A round that mushrooms will impart far more kinetic energy than one that doesn't, this increases lethality and limits risk of over penetration. These designs have a higher ballistic coefficient though and see limited use in precision shooting due to the adverse effects. A solid tip like on a full metal jacket round will fly faster and lose less velocity than a hollow point counterpart. This limits the amount of time and effect outside variables like wind can adversely influence the trajectory. Being a steel cored fully jacketed round though makes them extremely resilient to deformation unless they strike a surface harder than them and of enough weight to allow sufficient kinetic energy transfer. We've pulled 7.62x39mm, 7.62x54r, and .556 rounds out of earthen berm backstops that first passed through 1/4" steel plates that showed little more than surface scratches. Had plenty with bend tips too, which could probably be reworked back into usable shape if they absolutely had to be. The whole premise is a bit far fetched in the movie, but it is plausible with him being a precision shooter (likely using a solid round) shooting at a tin can of beef stew with an earthen backstop (limited potential for deformation). The odds of it all coming together are just incredibly long.
@@jamesbumgardner1469 I’m just curious how long that all took to type up…
Most of us have met someone like this. Someone who, in our estimation, has a few screws loose. Spouts off about conspiracy theories and tells you stories about themselves that you suspect are an exaggeration, if not totally fabricated. But what if they were true and we think we are the smart ones?
I always ponder the thought.... "What if the guy who thinks he's the smartest in the room..... Actually is"
Well, the grassy knoll part isn't true, that shot came from the car behind kennedy. That's why the rear guard were removed. Watch enough of the footage and you see him hip fire the AR15 he's bringing up.
@@ancientrenegade9243
Well, that was certainly handy for that camera to record that angle at that time...
.
"Just when you think you got it figured out...'
@@largemarge1603 it’s the footage that’s near impossible to find as well.
wonder if they really did give Pena something awful to drink. seems to good of a prank to not do it
Act as if it's water. Fill the cup with some 151. Or, in the spirit of East Tennessee, some uncut 'shine.
@@zlinedavid
Coughed just reading this, goddamn xD
Still one of the best movie scenes in years.
He was checking for a callus. Someone with enough time behind a rifle would have a callus on his shooting hand. That's why he checked the first guy's hand when he brought the book over and also why he checked Bob's hand.
Thank you.
Mind blowing! Only someone whos shoots regularly would realize this. Most people in the world that watched this movie never did!
From shooting rifles? Why would you have calluses from a rifle?
good point, i always wondered about that
Plus he knew Bob was left handed
the moment you think you've got it figured, you're wrong..
Always makes me laugh when he slaps the first hand and thoroughly inspected the second. Old g knew what he was looking for and found it.
I dont get that part.
@@pygmis he’s looking for calluses’ I believe.
@@pygmis - most Marines have callouses on that part of the hand from doing pull ups two or three times a week. I’ve been retired for 20 years and have stopped doing pull ups but I still have callouses in that area on both hands.
@@fanman8102 also shooting calluses, he’ll also have figured the FBI dude for law enforcement, just by noticing calluses for handgun practices and office “softness”, that is if I was writing the scene.
thing about guys like this, is that you hope they have someone to pass it all to. that room with all of those books and file cabinets, you don't see that much anymore.
Lavon grew up about 15 miles from me . Marvel Arkansas. He played drums at my aunt's place Delta Supper Club in West Helena Arkansas for Ronnie South. He meet Bob Dylan there. The rest is history.
No writer came up with these lines. Mark doesn't know squat about any of this.
I want to talk to the man who they hired as a consultant. Most would start running in the presence such a one, not me or a few others. Even the hardened would weep. We seek solitude and only tolerate those that are as we are and no one else.
Folks if your stunned with a key hole view. what would you do if the whole book opened up and all those events and all those nightmares got into your conscience and memories?
Levon deserves his due for his portrayal..........
It’s a gift, but one that most cannot endure - like perverts in a hall of mirrors.
They cancelled Rubicon because it revealed too much. Lots of predictive programming has been leaching out of HollyWeird for decades, but occasionally they offer pearls with a backward glance. This single scene is a notable gem in an otherwise moderately interesting tale. A limited hangout of the Charlie Wilson type.
Peace
“Good coffee?”
“Yeah”
He’s a cop. Came naturally to him to lie.
Classic
Anyone else notice the Che T-shirt and how ironic it is?
When old man said I still have the shovel n feels marks hand n said world ain’t what it seems is it gunny. One of the best scenes In the whole movie n it’s actually true everything the old man was sayn A lot of shit we r made to believe n it’s not all true my granddad told me long time ago b4 he pass. Never believe nothing U hear n only have of what u see.
I live by what the old man said THE WORLD AINT WHAT IT SEEMS IS IT GUNNY YOU KEEP THAT IN MIND YOU THINK YOU GOT IT FIGURED YOUR WRONG
Actually, Anna Nicole DID marry for love.
The guy she married was a Billionaire who was two steps away from dying. Call me cynical, but she must of loved that.
Levon Helm, the world misses you!
I'm pretty certain that the woman playing the gun-smith's wife is the same actress that played Dana Scully's Mother on, "The X-Files."
Mad respect mr helm rest in peace
FUCK!
I just realised the old man was scoping out which one of them was Bob Lee Swagger, by just feeling their hands for calluses and wear/tear! That's why he felt Nicks hand when passing the book! And then grabbed Swaggers hand to absolutely confirm it was him!
Awesome details!
In the book,Nick Memphis was also a shooter. Missed a shot due to upper echelon interference while with the FBI's HRT. just sayin'......
Brilliant intense acting with humor, exceptionally well written.
How accurate would have paper-wrapped bullet be? The bullet is not going to catch the grooves of the rifling and are you going to need them oversized bore
Shooters have special calluses on their hands.
Horseshit
Dude u don’t have a clue. How bout u wrap ur hands around a gun stock for hours after hours days in end. Of course u would know that if u used ur hands whatsoever. Shame on u.
Bless our troops.
no, real men who work with their hands have calluses. millennial boys have soft hands with zero calluses from lack of work.
@@visualintegration1121 I never had calluses on my hands, its called wearing gloves, and ive shot easily upwards of 150,000 rounds through all types on weapons, pistols, SA80 a1/a2, L96, Minimi, GPMG and M2.
@@catlee8064 you wear gloves while playing COD? weird.
I like how he checked their hands for calluses.. Anyone who shoots repetitive shooting develops callouses on their hands. Only someone who shoots or someone who trains people to shoot would know that.
Or if they digged a hole recently also
Why this scene always sticks with me. But it does.
Know a old timer like this he's a wiz at fire arms vehicles heavy equipment repair ,most older vehicles he can make run again mostly stays in his house shop
They also said artificial sweeteners were safe....WMDs were in Iraq and Ana Nicole married for love😂😂
Funny thing is she probably did.
Love that scene. Highlight of the whole movie for me.
Levon completely steals this scene. ..
Did anyone notice the pawn in the background? It's bigger than the rook which means it's tactically and strategically more valuable.
"The Moment you think you got it figured, you are wrong." This line always stayed with me. Makes me question my believes all the time. I wish all those conspiracy nutters would take this to heart.
Yeah, only problem is the conspiracy nutters are the ones telling the official stories. The ones being called nutters have been proven right over and over again these last few years.
sad thing is most of those nuts are probably more right than we like to admit.
So Utopia 2020 video on RUclips is just a silly conspiracy?
@@illumiNOTme326 seems more plausible than we would like.
Right like the conspiracy theory about the multinational elite pedophile ring and Covid coming from Wuhan. Those turned out to be totally false.....
