They did such a great job in this movie of creating a vibe of evil and malevolence all the way through. It was perfectly done and the acting by all parties involved was incredible.
2:37 This part always stood out to me for some reason. He already set Kevin up with paradise on the merits of his reputation at this point, then turns up the heat to get Kevin to kick into the next gear of the role he's playing in the unfoldment of his scheme. He senses Kevin's apprehension and simply asks... "You gonna fight for this thing or not?" There's so much encoded in that question and Pacino's delivery is perfect. He's basically saying "This isn't a free ride. I've been pampering your ego, but now it's time for you to perform." All the while he's nonchalantly munching away at pistachios, which symbolizes the devouring nature of his power play. And it's Kevin's ego that causes him to spring into action. Masterclass level of psychological manipulation. This movie is incredibly underrated.
OMG. I've watched this movie SO many times, and this is the first time that I caught Milton's "Get Eddie Barzoon" line and saw it as anything more than "Get him on the phone." lmao. He really, really meant "GET" Eddie Barzoon.
Yeah the message and meaning of this speech has definitely changed for me of the last couple of years. I've been reading something recently actually kind of changes the meaning behind the Adam and original sin. It's always said that it was giving into temptation that was original sin, I've been reading it was originally concupiscence, (had to look this up) meaning excessive desire, particularly sexual. Desiring more than you require. When you run that out, yeah it kind of means the same thing but its not really and the implications are very different.
@@froggy187888 It was wisdom/knowledge that was the active ingredient in the apples god did not want adam and eve to eat. Once they did they recognized they where naked and clothed themselves with fig leafs (or whatever), god upon seeing this was furious as his creation was soiled by it. In my eyes the original sin is ignorance. Had they known the consequences they may not have eaten the apple
@@cerebusrex-u1721 maybe I need to go back and read the bible again. Could you tell me if you know. How/why did god want wisdom/knowledge withheld from humans? Was it particular knowledge found from eating the apple or was it more generalised? Ignorance being the original sin seems a bit confusing when they were then expelled from Eden for obtaining knowledge. I was thinking more from the angle of, God told them not to touch the tree, which reminds me of like the 10 commandments and such. Then it was the snake that convinced eve to try one, leading her into temptation as it were.
@@froggy187888 because to him his creation was perfect in his eyes with the absence of self awareness through the lack of knowledge/wisdom. But after being bestowed with both from the forbidden fruit they lost the innocence god cherished in his new creation knowing that knowledge will also sully their purity and drive them to unfavorable ends due to its devices. In the end I surmise god wanted his creations to have the innocence of a child who in the absence of knowledge would remain so until its last days. A creature of purity devoid of evils because its devoid of it's own personal evolution and awareness.
@@cerebusrex-u1721 Ahhh, so the fruit is where we got our conscious mind. Haha, in a weird way I'm kind of glad eve did then. Yeah we got booted out of paradise which sucked, but let's look at it this way. If every days a sunny day, then what's a sunny day haha.
The production value in this film is great and also creepy. It’s creepy because you get strong vibes of the devil’s true nature from Christian theology, not some romanticized gimmicky portrayal of evil. the statue, for starters, always freaked me out, especially when it starts to slowly move in the film’s climax.
It’s because the movie is telling you something , it’s telling the truth and it tells you who the man of sin is in real life , they always do such things like this in movies it’s their way of mocking you .
@@davidhutchinson5233There’s no such thing as an atheist David everyone bows a knee to God. You’re not going to live forever and you too will wish you hadn’t rejected your Creator.
I like to think, John Constantine, John Wick, and Neo are all different versions of Kevin from different realities and the Matrix and John Wick franchises are all just tie ins to this movie. The devil had came in many forms and still hasn't given up on Keanu.
As Thomas "Neo" Anderson he was the One chosen by humanity to battle the demonic machines. As John Constantine he died and came back to be haunted for life. As John Wick, he's Death in the flesh. As Constantine he committed suicide in front of the Devil and was about to ascend to Heaven. Satan stopped that ofc. As Neo and John Wick he had to go through the hell of fighting overwhelming odds only to perish.
I worked for Blockbuster Video when this movie was released for home viewing. We had to put notices on every copy we had stating that the sculpture was used without the artists permission.
Sculpture is called Ex Nihilo. It is by Frederick Hart. It is part of the national cathedral in Washington DC. It was made to honor the creation of the universe. Besides Not getting permission to use a copyrighted sculpture, the sculptor felt that twisting the meaning of the work was disrespectful to his intent and done to demean his work. He is also the artist who created the statue of the three soldiers at the Vietnam war memorial.
He was a good actor. His earlier movies showed he was an enormous talent. Then somewhere down the line I am not sure where exactly he changed. He realized that all he had to do was show up and because he was who he was they would shower him with money. I think the challenge went out of it for him at that point. The end result just as with Robert Deniro and a bunch more he has been phoning it in for years maybe a couple of decades. They are all massive has beens now. Such a shame. Bruce Willis is another has been. It is all about the money nowadays for all these used to be's. Bring back Serpico and Dog Day Afternoon Pacino. That Pacino was an actor.
Yea... I liked him too after Ferris Bueller's day off and Easy Money w/Rodney Dangerfield until in the mid 90's he was popped for having kiddy p0rn. Dropped the spotlight and p3dowood like it was lava and never did a movie for over a decade to let that news cool a bit
This movie sold me on Charlize Theron as an actress. Prior to seeing her in this, I thought she was 'just another tall blonde'. Man, what a performance! And what's she's gone on to do!
Scary I watched this movie a few days ago and now recommended this to me when I didn't even watch any clips of this movie recently on here. Maybe as a collected whole we needed to see this movie because of everything that's going on now!
Fiber-optically connect the world to every ego-impulse [...] until every human becomes an aspiring emperor. Amazing how this movie prophesized Instagramers / RUclipsrs / TikTokers and whatnot... in 1998... Almost makes you wanna bang your head against the wall that some people saw it and others didn't.
Well there their who actually have talent and ability there who create. Not all are just delusional or off in their pursuit. But some are maybe very overboard with things.
Earlier in the film, Milton tells Kevin that their law firm doesn't have anyone who deals with homicide and similar types of cases(which is what Kevin does). I think Kevin asked him why he needed a criminal lawyer or something like that, and Milton says "Our clients break the law just like anybody else. I'm just tired of sending their business across the street"(to other law firms). So in this scene, Milton is basically saying, "It's ours to lose!" because this is a huge case involving a rich and powerful client that _could_ make a lot of $ for any firm that wins it. Eddie Barzoon(the big guy) wants to call whoever they'd normally call but Milton is ready to trust Kevin. That's why he later asks Kevin, "You gonna fight for this thing, or what?" He was asking Kevin if he's ready to step up and prove he's as good as Milton tells everyone he is. I get the feeling that Kevin is who Milton hoped Eddie would be, and the other guy with the glasses seems like he's trying to show that he could(in his own way) be the protege Milton wants Kevin to be(or a 2nd one).
I used to work at Blockbuster when this movie came out, and I remember that every copy of the tape for this movie had a sticker on it, full of legalese about the sculpture. Odd case; I've never seen that happen before or since.
I recorded this on VHS when it was first released on some premium channel unchanged. I got the dvd, but unfortunately it was the altered version of course. I loved this movie when I first saw it in theaters. James Newton Howard score is awesome. The movie was on Showtime last night, and I knew it was going to be the altered version, but I watched for the first scene of Milton's home just to be sure. So disappointing and sad this movie had to be RUINED.
@@no1guy825 Dramatic much? Tell that to Frederick E Hart who took Warner Brothers to court. Digitally removing the statues until the very end does in fact ruin the movie in many ways.
The use of the sculpture without the artist’s permission was just plain wrong. Fortunately, the court agreed. Fascinating story there, worth reading the details.
Sometimes I think the entertainment industry understands the devil better than the rest of the world. This movie and the Rolling Stone’s song “Sympathy for the Devil” show supernatural insights.
hell is in the earth it exists in the ground. the fabric between everything. thats why that sculpture theres all those figures covered in the layers, the souls just bound and writhing, twisted together.
Hi there! I'm interested in doing a reconstruction fan edit using upressed footage of the original sculpture. What's the source of this footage? The video says it's in 720p, but the only source I know of is the original Special Edition DVD and that would be at 480p. Is there some other super rare HD source I'm not aware of?
The sculpture scene on vhs and 1st dvds is the same, they put a sticker on them indicating the sculpture was being used without permission. 2 weeks after they did this the discs were recalled. I just saw one on ebay still sealed with the sticker after 25 years but the seller knows what he has..
I remember renting this on VCR and all the tapes had a disclaimer about that massive white sculpture in this video saying it was a replica. Always thought that to be strange as even the tapes rented from blockbuster video had that as well. Anyone have any idea or info why?
They were sued by the creator of a sculpture called 'Ex Nihilo' that sits in the National Cathedral in Washington who sued on the basis that the sculpture in the movie is too similar to the real one and was used without the artists consent.
@@cerebusrex-u1721 There was also the issue that the sculptor created a religious work and felt that his work was misused by the thematic part of the movie. Court’s got it right on this one. Worth reading about. We studied it a copyright class
@@ninjanoodle2674 that's a shame. At least it wasn't some otherwise idiotic censorship. They should maybe try to change it for something 3d that's more on the spirit of the original, but distant enough, though. The thing they have replacing it looks almost like a cheap photoshop swirl-blur rather than a sculpture.
Man, as much as I love Keanu, this scene really shows: he has zero range. He can do Neo and John Wick, and he needs a good director. Here, he stands around like an extra
At first, that seemed odd but perhaps we can assume that the firm handles various matters for Colin. Eddie said that Colin was a business client and we later see them meeting at a development building, so it's fair to say that the client has a lot of legal matters that need attention. Given how many practice areas the firm is shown to cover during the introduction meeting with Kevin, it wouldn't surprise me if 3-4 different attorneys worked on Colin's matters and billed their hours separately, thus accounting for such a high number of billable hours in one year.
I was trying my best to translate the telephone dialogue from Russian to English. John Milton: Yuri (Russian male name), we will settle this, maybe at tomorrow evening, I will go to the meeting, all right? Yuri: Convince him to take 20%! John Milton: For what? He can't find it... We will "eat" him. Yuri: Listen, Milton, you know what are you doing and I'm... (interrupted by Milton) John Milton: Don't worry! Just a minute, all right? (switch to another caller) Next part is hard to decipher for me mostly due to ambiguous Russian pronunciation. John Milton (switching back to Yuri): Yuri, call me later, don't be a stranger. Yuri: Goodbye!
I love every Al Pacino's act in this movie except for his Korean-speaking scene here 0:20~. It's a pity this movie was very very popular in South Korea too.😅
The devil is very interesting. A real.charmer. How would Gods view differ in tetms of the art of persuasion. Devil makes good points. God would have to sell us on why we shouldn't give in to temptation. The good guy.the one who keeps a stiff upper lip and does what he's told. Is there really a difference between good and evil.
The sculpture? It's an interesting story. The sculptor Frederick Hart sued Warner because he said that was very similar to his sculpture Ex Nihilo, on Washington National Cathedral. He said that the use of the sculpture in the movie distorted its intended meaning, by portraying is as demonic rather than a representation of god. Warner Brothers settled and airbrushed it out to have a different look.
To avoid copyright infringement from Frederick Hart's sculpture, "Ex nihilo" that had appeared on the facade of "Episcopal National Cathedral" in Washington D.C. That's why.
@@JosephASobora This really always bothered me. I get it that it's the law, but the ones that lose in this is us, the viewers. The modified version is so inferior.

Always thought that to be strange as even the tapes rented from blockbuster video had that as well.
Anyone have any idea or info why?
They were sued by the creator of a sculpture called 'Ex Nihilo' that sits in the National Cathedral in Washington who sued on the basis that the sculpture in the movie is too similar to the real one and was used without the artists consent.
@@ninjanoodle2674 I had vaguely heard a similar story amongst others and didnt know which was truth.
Ty for finally giving me clarity on this friend
@@cerebusrex-u1721 There was also the issue that the sculptor created a religious work and felt that his work was misused by the thematic part of the movie. Court’s got it right on this one. Worth reading about. We studied it a copyright class
@@miguelservetus9534 Much appreciated info my friend. Thank you
@@ninjanoodle2674 that's a shame. At least it wasn't some otherwise idiotic censorship. They should maybe try to change it for something 3d that's more on the spirit of the original, but distant enough, though. The thing they have replacing it looks almost like a cheap photoshop swirl-blur rather than a sculpture.
"Love the Art work"
Why did they digitally alter the sculpture later? Anything to do with copyrights?
Frederick E Hart the sculptor sued
I have Heard that its trumps appartament...confirm that?
@Guiseppe Ottaviani Yes, Al Pacino's apartment is trump's. Some scenes from the movie were filmed in trump tower in Manhattan New York.
They even mention Trump in the movie.
Not enough tacky gold everywhere. Trumps place looks like a pretentious whore house.
@@gjk2012 where exacly?
@@giuseppeottaviani2465 The Character Pam mentions him. Just watch the movie again.
1:00 I am glad that the Austrian emperor from Amadeus gained some weight and moved on to do bigger and better things.
1:43 that look (on Al's face)...does things to me...
Аль Пачино великолепно говорит по-русски 👍🏻
What did him and the other guy say?
This movie is an alternate version of The Matrix in which "the devil" is just someone who learned to free their mind and Neo hasn't caught on yet.
Man, as much as I love Keanu, this scene really shows: he has zero range. He can do Neo and John Wick, and he needs a good director. Here, he stands around like an extra
Volume too low
How many hours we bill alex colin last year?
16,442
Divide it by 24 thats 685 days
And what does that mean?🤔
At first, that seemed odd but perhaps we can assume that the firm handles various matters for Colin. Eddie said that Colin was a business client and we later see them meeting at a development building, so it's fair to say that the client has a lot of legal matters that need attention. Given how many practice areas the firm is shown to cover during the introduction meeting with Kevin, it wouldn't surprise me if 3-4 different attorneys worked on Colin's matters and billed their hours separately, thus accounting for such a high number of billable hours in one year.
Btw you can touch butterflies without hurting them. I did that a bunch of times. Just be gentle.
The real star of this movie is the chicken that plays Tic Tac Toe. He never loses!
Any Russian speakers that can tell us what that conversation is about, please?
I was trying my best to translate the telephone dialogue from Russian to English.
John Milton: Yuri (Russian male name), we will settle this, maybe at tomorrow evening, I will go to the meeting, all right?
Yuri: Convince him to take 20%!
John Milton: For what? He can't find it... We will "eat" him.
Yuri: Listen, Milton, you know what are you doing and I'm... (interrupted by Milton)
John Milton: Don't worry! Just a minute, all right? (switch to another caller)
Next part is hard to decipher for me mostly due to ambiguous Russian pronunciation.
John Milton (switching back to Yuri): Yuri, call me later, don't be a stranger.
Yuri: Goodbye!
@@Fontaami thanks
I love every Al Pacino's act in this movie except for his Korean-speaking scene here 0:20~. It's a pity this movie was very very popular in South Korea too.😅
Nice sculpture.
Never noticed the fireplace with the gate instead of a door or shield. Ah yes the devil is in the details..
Everywhere!!!!
There's only 8,760 hrs in a year 😂
Some people have even more sinister houses than that.
The devil is very interesting. A real.charmer. How would Gods view differ in tetms of the art of persuasion. Devil makes good points. God would have to sell us on why we shouldn't give in to temptation. The good guy.the one who keeps a stiff upper lip and does what he's told. Is there really a difference between good and evil.
When it's just the two of us with our advocates and I'm forced to find out and he has no idea wtf I witness! Lucifer oO
Godfather movie represents satan BTW. 7 chakras 3rd 👁 guy.
Lucifer ha!!! Never sleeps 💤
Full movie please 🙏

Marquis defense attorney. Lol.
Why is the DVD version of the painting different?
The sculpture? It's an interesting story. The sculptor Frederick Hart sued Warner because he said that was very similar to his sculpture Ex Nihilo, on Washington National Cathedral. He said that the use of the sculpture in the movie distorted its intended meaning, by portraying is as demonic rather than a representation of god. Warner Brothers settled and airbrushed it out to have a different look.
sculptor Fredrick Hart sued the studio over the sculpture in the film which is a copy of Harts facade to the entrance of the Washington DC Cathedral
I never understood this monologue bout eddie barzoon, anyone care to elaborate please? ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
Why did they change it?
To avoid copyright infringement from Frederick Hart's sculpture, "Ex nihilo" that had appeared on the facade of "Episcopal National Cathedral" in Washington D.C. That's why.
@@JosephASobora This really always bothered me. I get it that it's the law, but the ones that lose in this is us, the viewers. The modified version is so inferior.
Such a Good Movie
"Wrong way!" It was his Guardian Angel whom he told to F off for his entire life.
