"Do any of you know what makes a human being decent? Fear. And here inlies the problem. None of you have anything to fear. You sit in your seats of inscrutable power, lives shrouded in secrecy, even from each other...but not from God." The way Matt Damon delivers that is POWERFUL.
Fear isn't what makes a human being decent. I am a decent human being. I do not fear any deity or god. I would never worship a god that WANTED to be worshipped. How petty and egotistical. No thanks. Point is - it doesn't take a god to make a human being decent.

The irony is that Mooby is clearly a stand in for Disney, which owned Miramax at the time this movie was made.

Except Miramax dropped this film due to its religious tones, leading Kevin Smith to take it to Lionsgate, which was an unknown indie studio at the time. Miramax still owns its copyright.
@@fZ2jKy6 Had to look this up because that's a serious allegation to make regarding Ms. Hayek. From all the stories I read, Salma states that he made repeated sexual advances and overtures to her during the making of Frida, which she refused each time. Nothing I found regarding their interactions during the filming of Dogma. So there was no sexual contact between the two, at any time, ever. Now I'm certainly not defending that complete creep, but please make sure you're stating facts when making an accusation. Perhaps you're thinking of another accuser?
Sorry if I'm pointing out the obvious, but I love how Bartleby first recites the sins for which they were to be punished, and the Loki executes the punishment, since in an earlier scene the movie had established that that was what their roles had been in ancient times as well when they were inflicting divine retribution on Egypt and before that on Sodom.
That was actually the reason they did it, they planned to resume the jobs they quit and then go through the arches to be forgiven for quitting and the murders they committed and be readmitted into heaven, then Jay had to get horny and tried to get laid completely fucking up their plan (yes Jay's ridiculous scenario to have sex with that chick actually saved existence)
4:12 I always loved the implication that there was no research involved for this moment. They can read a persons sins just by looking at them and when Bartleby didn’t immediately see a sin to talk about he had to do a double take to make sure and was even surprised by it.
About that: in all semi-seriousness, it was inappropriate for Loki to pull a gun on her, but she was *working for* a company that did all these things. She probably didn't know every dirty detail, but when you work for people that sleazy for several years, you begin to pick up on some of it. Still she stayed. But then again: she may have had very little choice in the matter. So it's #complicated.
Especially after clearly hearing revealed the actions that were illegal and punishable with serious prison time (i.e. The sins of Mr. Newman, Mr. Barker, and Mr. Holtzmann). Some people's capacity for evil (Both in what they do, and in what they turn a blind eye to) is sickening.
It absolutely is! It may not be the funniest of his films (Though it is hysterical in several scenes), but I'd say it's the most exciting, the most thought- provoking, and the most intelligently- written of his films. I can imagine a LOT of audience members afterwards having complex discussions about some of the faith- based points this movie brought up.
Rewatching that scene makes it hilarious. At first I thought he paused in order to remember his train of thoughts, but the real reason truly shows how childish Loki is.
I'm still confused as to why disowning the son is worthy of being killed. Doesn't matter the reason he disowned him, it's not even close to death worthy.
This scene shows why the fake morality of christianity doesn't work at all in practice. That guy was supposed to have abandoned his son 'cos he was gay, but christians hate gays and the bible calls gays an abomination, so this christian god would have rewarded the guy for abandoning his son.
Bartelby goes full crazy at the end but if you spend millennia exiled from home surrounded by endless hostility AND you have to endure Wisconsin? You will also go mad.
Even as a much younger person, when he made the comment about having sex with AN. ELEVEN.YEAR. OLD. BOY! I got sick to my stomach the first time... That statement alone completely made my beliefs in that the CEO and others of any company wanted to do good as well as what was best for the company died a painful death... Not to mention making me completely giddy while listening to their "justice"...
The villain is God. She created everything and knew everything that would happen. And then punished her creations for doing what she created them to do. Horrific figure.
I think it's kind of funny that he thinks them believing in the Voodoo doll is ridiculous when for like 5 minutes they've been displaying a supernatural knowledge of their misdeeds I mean why wouldn't they believe it might work at that point.
Fun Fact: this was supposed to be an overly done, John Woo-esque action scene with Matt Damon gunning down the board, this is the reason they’re all burly looking stunt men. At the last minute, Kevin Smith was doubtful that he’d be able to pull it off, so he scrapped it.

I've probably seen this movie dozens of times, and I'm only now realizing that Bartleby forgets to mention Mooby Magazine in his opening, and then during the purge he's reading an issue in the lounge.

This is one of my favorite scenes ever--it so blatantly exposes (and executes) the corporate lineup for literally ANY business. They exploit their workers and think they can do the same in their personal lives. Says a lot about corporations, about shitty people, about Hollywood itself. It's so self-aware, it's beautiful.

The Learner I believe this was released by Lionsgate w/ video distribution by Sony Pictures but the rights being held up in limbo by the Weinstein’s (hence why there’s no streaming service available).
Percilla Salas nah, it is an alagorey about greed (love of money) where in the corporate class does all manner of evil hidden by red tape and plausible deniability affording them the freedom to do all manner of actual harm expecting no day of reconning. As an agnostic, I almost want pure unadulterated evil to exist so there is a day of reconning for true assholes...ya know, like the creators of the ice capades.
Strangely I was reminded of this scene and had to come back to watch after trumps gold statue was presented at CPAC.... can you imagine if all of their sins were revealed!!!
"Because it's a pointless superstition when people believed that they expelled their soul from their body when they sneezed and it was said to keep demons out? Like, HUNDREDS of years ago?"
The word "massacre" doesn't fit for the title of this scene, it means the needless killing of a mass amount of people, I feel like there was a lot of reason here for this killing lol
Have there been any mass killings that don't count as massacres, unless they have been judged by a court? None come to mind. A massacre is a massacre rather than just a mass execution when there is no proper right to a fair trial, which these two didn't give them. Yeah, i understand, angels and they know their guilt etc, but the point still stands, it's your peers, not the divine that dole out punishment
Voodoo absolutely is a religion with multiple deities and not “just a collection of superstitions.” A whole lot of voodoo practitioners would be pretty pissed off to hear someone say such a thing about their spirituality. Other than that nonsense, this is an amazing scene. It uses these two unhinged characters to perfectly personify the problem with organized religion by having Loki state that decency comes from fear; it doesn’t. Decency comes from empathy and love, but mainstream religions often choose to capitalize on people’s fear, instead of validating and encouraging their empathy. Great script.
Anyone notice something interesting about this scene? Right next to the board meeting is possibly the St Thomas Church? (or some large gothic Episcopal or Catholic church), love the subtle juxtaposition of the sinful directly next to a house of God
Not only did she learn she’s in the clear and bound for Heaven, but she just became CEO, President, Vice President, AND majority shareholder of one of the biggest entertainment companies in the world. All in all, a pretty good day.
@@endersdragon34 So she sells the company, retires, and uses a large chunk of her newfound wealth for charities and other good causes, all while still living comfortably.
True. But, I'm betting/hopping that she sold all of her interests and shares to open and run a homeless shelter, where, although she was never rich, she was loved by many and died very happy many years later. 🙏🌟⛪️✝️
@@jacobmetz3267 It'd actually be in her best interest to divest of the shares as well. The company's toast, as investors won't have any confidence in a company that was quite literally decapitated by a dude with a gun who only left one person alive. Bonus points: Because of Bartleby she now knows a whole bunch of people who were personally screwed over by the other members of the board (one mother, two sons, an 11 year old boy in SEA, and a whole bunch of people who bought unsafe versions of their products) and can donate whatever she inherits from them to those people. And then join a convent in the middle of nowhere and live in constant fear of Loki returning to cap her.
Businesses are not a hereditary monarchy. The board if there is any would elect new positions and if there isn't a new board to do that would be established. She doesn't get the position by default and being a pure soul I doubt she has the rep or traits to walk into the job.
@@ErwinPommelHe was going to tho. Loki and especially Bartleby become increasingly more violent throughout the film because they’re angered at God and humanity. Innocent girl barely escaped.
I'm Wiccan,and when i was doing my 'year and a day' study, the lady who was teaching me actually recommended this movie to introduce the way Wicca conceptualizes Karma and the idea that you really do make your life what it is. I'm forever grateful to her for recommending it,not only because it helped me understand Karma's 'big picture' but because it helped me laugh at bits of the organized religion I'd just come out of.
Jared Ruff That’s you. Do you know much about voodoo?That’s a fascinating practice no real doctor in the faith to speak of more of an arrangement of superstition’s the most well known of which is the voodoo doll you see “sneezes” A markup of an individual is subjected to various pokes of frauds,The desired result is that the individual feel those affects
"You're his father, you sick f@$k!" And that line haunted me for years and years. What the HELL did he do to his son!? This movie is an underrated masterpiece!

What a shame that this movie, from 24 years ago, doesn't have more fans and isn't still being talked about a quarter of a century later. It's so, so, so, underrated!!
I love this scene. I can almost imagine it playing out in Congress when both houses meet to hear the President. I would not expect any of them to be deemed innocent, and owing to time constraints they would have to just summarize the sins (The people in this supposedly august body have broken the commandments no less than 3,847 times among them …. ) and then start the purification.
I guarantee you every time someone sneezed around her she didn't forget to say "god bless you" for the rest of her life
😅

The Learner I believe this was released by Lionsgate w/ video distribution by Sony Pictures but the rights being held up in limbo by the Weinstein’s (hence why there’s no streaming service available).
"Ok, but yer gettin' off light." 😂😂😂😂
Could you imagine those two characters calling out all politicians in history? Lol
They would also take it out on the voters who support them despite their sins being common knowledge.
Is this supposed to be a portrayal of executives at Disney and the cow character supposed to be Mickey?
Percilla Salas nah, it is an alagorey about greed (love of money) where in the corporate class does all manner of evil hidden by red tape and plausible deniability affording them the freedom to do all manner of actual harm expecting no day of reconning.
As an agnostic, I almost want pure unadulterated evil to exist so there is a day of reconning for true assholes...ya know, like the creators of the ice capades.
Among others.
They say the character was created by a kindergarten teacher, that’s the origin of Barney the dinosaur. I think it’s a mishmash of popular characters.
Ya think?!
The Golden calf is an old Bible reference. It has nothing to do with any other franchise.
Strangely I was reminded of this scene and had to come back to watch after trumps gold statue was presented at CPAC.... can you imagine if all of their sins were revealed!!!
Omg right?!
You clearly suffer from TDS. You radical left-wing BETA
@@NC2871926 Hahahaha you are so triggered
It would take AT LEAST a while day to list them all.
"Mr. Newman...while she was passed out.."
In the U.S legal system Mr. Newman would be the criminal. The guy he paid and the girl are both victims.
Jeremy Dickman the guy he paid is s criminal too.
Smiths dialogue is so damn good especially spoken by Affleck and Damon.
1:03 Ben affleck has excellent presentation skills
and that's how the cute brunette got promoted to chairman of the board.
*holds someone at gunpoint* you didn't say God bless you when i sneezed!
"Because it's a pointless superstition when people believed that they expelled their soul from their body when they sneezed and it was said to keep demons out? Like, HUNDREDS of years ago?"
@Gottenburg You're getting off light!
Taylor Ann I cracked up at that scene.
So this is what a Disney board meeting looks like
“But you didn’t say God bless you when I sneezed” 🤣
Loki?! LOKI!!! (I swear I sound like Thor checking on loki)
"You're getting off luck!"
“Don’t run! Finks!” “And one to grow on!” Best lines Matt Damon ever spoke.
best part of the clip is when loki says "But you didn't say god bless you when i sneezed...!"
pure LOL there!
I wish they'd show up and start taking rough justice to corporate boardrooms across America.
Walmart First
WE can do that, but instead, we want to be like them.
One of the most ridiculously funny movies ever made. From the disclaimer to the credits, some of the funniest stuff you'll ever see.
No flashy cgi, nothing. Pure creative writing.
The word "massacre" doesn't fit for the title of this scene, it means the needless killing of a mass amount of people, I feel like there was a lot of reason here for this killing lol
Have there been any mass killings that don't count as massacres, unless they have been judged by a court? None come to mind. A massacre is a massacre rather than just a mass execution when there is no proper right to a fair trial, which these two didn't give them. Yeah, i understand, angels and they know their guilt etc, but the point still stands, it's your peers, not the divine that dole out punishment
your getting off LIGHT
Nobody0Important1 You’re*

*GO STRAIGHT BACK TO YOUR MONGOLOID ENTERTAINMENT CALLED PEWDIECUNT*
You ARE getting off 'light'.
@@rocksparadox wow you have a problem.
LOKI!
"You're so lucky" lmfaoooo how have I never noticed that line?
strangely relative to today...
It's been like that since the beginning of times
"But you didn't say God bless you when I sneezed." Guess Loki tested positive for COVID-19
Matt Damon used to be such a badass
Jason Bourne!?
You mean mark Wahlberg? Lol
@NOT YOU really? I actually think he is a pretty good guy. Especially for a celeb
@NOT YOU You say that like it's a bad thing.
Say that again and there will be no measure to hard and how fast I will bring that fight to your doorstep!
LOL damn he was about to blast her for not saying "God bless you!"
You're gettin' off LIGHT!!!
Just realized the church in the window and being right behind the Mooby statue
" You're getting off light."
LOKI!
Jared Ruff “I KNOW, I’m COMING...”
@@dawnwelch6579 You're so lucky!
Voodoo absolutely is a religion with multiple deities and not “just a collection of superstitions.” A whole lot of voodoo practitioners would be pretty pissed off to hear someone say such a thing about their spirituality. Other than that nonsense, this is an amazing scene. It uses these two unhinged characters to perfectly personify the problem with organized religion by having Loki state that decency comes from fear; it doesn’t. Decency comes from empathy and love, but mainstream religions often choose to capitalize on people’s fear, instead of validating and encouraging their empathy. Great script.
Literally who cares
You sound like an imbecile.
Anyone notice something interesting about this scene? Right next to the board meeting is possibly the St Thomas Church? (or some large gothic Episcopal or Catholic church), love the subtle juxtaposition of the sinful directly next to a house of God
Not only did she learn she’s in the clear and bound for Heaven, but she just became CEO, President, Vice President, AND majority shareholder of one of the biggest entertainment companies in the world. All in all, a pretty good day.
Though if she kept on running it she would be guilty of idolatry... So.
@@endersdragon34 So she sells the company, retires, and uses a large chunk of her newfound wealth for charities and other good causes, all while still living comfortably.
True. But, I'm betting/hopping that she sold all of her interests and shares to open and run a homeless shelter, where, although she was never rich, she was loved by many and died very happy many years later. 🙏🌟⛪️✝️
@@jacobmetz3267 It'd actually be in her best interest to divest of the shares as well.
The company's toast, as investors won't have any confidence in a company that was quite literally decapitated by a dude with a gun who only left one person alive.
Bonus points: Because of Bartleby she now knows a whole bunch of people who were personally screwed over by the other members of the board (one mother, two sons, an 11 year old boy in SEA, and a whole bunch of people who bought unsafe versions of their products) and can donate whatever she inherits from them to those people.
And then join a convent in the middle of nowhere and live in constant fear of Loki returning to cap her.
Businesses are not a hereditary monarchy. The board if there is any would elect new positions and if there isn't a new board to do that would be established. She doesn't get the position by default and being a pure soul I doubt she has the rep or traits to walk into the job.
Human Resources is going to be flooded with calls
I just realized their false idol "Mooby" is a reference to the golden calf fron the bible. Im stupid
I wish I could’ve done this to all my high school bullies
“But I do believe in this.” *Fires Gun*
She’s definitely saying Bless You to everyone for the reminder of her life
I remember being very disturbed first time I saw this. Went from being casual comedy to slaughtering everyone
Not everyone.
@@ErwinPommelHe was going to tho. Loki and especially Bartleby become increasingly more violent throughout the film because they’re angered at God and humanity. Innocent girl barely escaped.
@@thenablade858 You're right. She really should have said 'god bless you' when he sneezed.
Interrupting ppl by slicing onions is the ultimate boss move.
👍🏼
Them 2 should have had that talk with Harvey Weinstein😂
Indeed
Donald trump, more like. "You're her father, you sick fuck."
@Floppy Bunny You saying they knew about him 20 years ago?
@Floppy Bunny
Need an answer.
@Floppy Bunny Are you sure they knew about his actions 20 years ago?
"But you didn't say 'God Bless You' when I sneezed!"
Loki!
"But i do believe in this... what does that even mean?" 😂🤣
Hahahahaha!!!!!
Divine judgement and wrath
Loki was an Angel of Justice and thus, was the one to deliver divine punishment.
I'm Wiccan,and when i was doing my 'year and a day' study, the lady who was teaching me actually recommended this movie to introduce the way Wicca conceptualizes Karma and the idea that you really do make your life what it is. I'm forever grateful to her for recommending it,not only because it helped me understand Karma's 'big picture' but because it helped me laugh at bits of the organized religion I'd just come out of.
proud2bpagan Wiccan seriously I’d believe in Christ again before that BS
@@MissBunny850
Wow, really respectfull of people believes, that going to turn a lot of people into atheists.
@@jorenvanderark3567 atheism is the dumbest shit. And i’m not even religious.
@@greenblackswerl Atheism is the only intelligent belief you can have besides Deism. Anything else is arbitrary bullshit.
@@Hifuutorian how so?
I really wish Kevin Smith kept making movies like this.
And then go protest his own movie at the local premiere.
6:17 Jesus Christ, It’s Jason Bourne!!!
Jason Bourne, it's Jesus Christ
You forgot moobie magazine. DAMMIT
,......but you didnt say "god bless you " when i sneezed!
Now is there a point to all this?
Jared Ruff you are your board a Idolise
@@JimmySmith2441 I can't believe you forgot the magazine.
Jared Ruff That’s you. Do you know much about voodoo?That’s a fascinating practice no real doctor in the faith to speak of more of an arrangement of superstition’s the most well known of which is the voodoo doll you see “sneezes” A markup of an individual is subjected to various pokes of frauds,The desired result is that the individual feel those affects
How many people now religiously (no pun intended) say "God blesd you" when someone sneezes after this?
The next day, Ms. Price was promoted to Chairman
"Don't run! Don't run! Pigs! All of ya! Pigs! Pigs!" 😂😂😂
Figs
He said "Fakes."
"You're his father, you sick f@$k!" And that line haunted me for years and years. What the HELL did he do to his son!? This movie is an underrated masterpiece!
yeah... it's underrated.
it doesn't have millions of fans, there aren't tons of clips of it on you-tube with thousands of people leaving comments... no one seems to know that it's an excellent movie or that it even exists for that matter... except you of course with your brilliant ability to understand what so many of us common, simple plebes don't.
thank you... thank you so much for being there for the rest of us and guiding us with your thoughtful insight.
What a shame that this movie, from 24 years ago, doesn't have more fans and isn't still being talked about a quarter of a century later.
It's so, so, so, underrated!!

You can probably guess the word that begins with R and rhymes with Ape.

I miss the late 90s, the jacket with the hoodie was the coolest look…..
I love this scene. I can almost imagine it playing out in Congress when both houses meet to hear the President. I would not expect any of them to be deemed innocent, and owing to time constraints they would have to just summarize the sins (The people in this supposedly august body have broken the commandments no less than 3,847 times among them …. ) and then start the purification.
Oh yeah, cause that obviously stable, fetid mass of decomposing, sprayed tanned animal fat is any more innocent.
Lady just assended the corporate ladder about 6 steps 😅
Hopeful Disney suffers the same fate.
Never noticed he kept saying there's not one decent person in the room despite saying the woman was innocent.
boardroom of disney 2022: eyeshift
"Don't run, don't run!"😂
