Good call on Mr. Soze. Verbal is only a villain for such a short part of the film though. For the majority of it, you are pitying him. Then at the end you are in awe of him and what he's been able to accomplish. Was he the bad guy? Sure, but you never dislike him. At least, I didn't. Good call.
Exactly, he's definitely the villain of the movie, but he's classy and educated and pulls one over on everyone involved. But from the stories that were told about him, and what he did on the boat, he was clearly a cold-blooded-killer through and through. But because of what we the viewer see, you kind of have an "That guys okay" kind of impression when it's all over. Despite the terrible stories about him and the history of extreme violence that surrounds him.
It's also never clear whether the stories about him really are the "spooky bed time stories" that crooks and con-men tell their kids at night. It's really unclear as to whether it's myth or reality. Soze exists but it's unclear the extent to which he is the myth. Great movie because of what it *doesn't* tell us
Exactly, when it's all said and done it eludes to everything we just saw and heard being complete bullshit or at best half truths... but still an amazing moving.Great movie because of what it doesn't tell us
