"I'm not pretty..."

What's wrong with that bitch? They got now mirrors back then?!?

[fatas412]

i have yet to see kubrick film that didnt amaze me. Even his 15 minute documentary on boxing, kept me on my feet he really is a genius

[Damion103]

I love this movie

[slazzer145]

the only I dont like on this film is the ending part ..the baggage open and flew all the money ,he should buy a strong baggage so it wont open ,,well that is the story of the film...

[Haberdasher102]

@slazzer145 This movie is actually an extended ad for samsonite luggage. Really good catch!

[anirak90]

@slazzer145 The message is that crime does not pay. Behind every Kubrick film there is a twist ending with a certain meaning.

[TheApacus]

"Die Rechnung ging nicht auf" (German Title) - The Masterpiece of "Film Noir". thx @cinemaart :)

[alanheath]

I found a VHS with this on this morning - only it finished just before the end. So now I am looking for the whole film! Can anyone help?

[onegoodreasonnj]

the language? there was so much of this movie that was ahead of its time. Basically every aspect.

[SIngli6]

This is undoubtedly Kubrick's greatest pre-Strangelove era effort.

[Bassbait]

@SIngli6 His greatest of all? I say 2001, followed by Full Metal Jacket.

[SIngli6]

@Bassbait

I had said greatest 'pre-Strangelove' effort, not 'post'.

Note: 2001: A Space Odyssey is not only Kubrick's greatest film, but is undoubtedly the greatest film that has ever been made.

[Bassbait]

@SIngli6 I know, I was just saying, if this is his greatest before Strangelove, than if you include all of his movies, 2001, because, as you said, it's the greatest film ever. The only films that I've seen compare to it are The Shining and Full Metal Jacket, because those films are equally as layered, but not nearly as enigmatic as 2001, which is why 2001 gets more reputation. I still agree, but The Shining and FMJ are both REALLY deep films as well.

[SIngli6]

@Bassbait

I completely agree with you in regards to 'The Shining', but not with 'Full Metal Jacket'.

[Bassbait]

@SIngli6 What, that it's not deep? Maybe you ought to look at the Pyle Suicide scene again, because it has many logical and physical impossibilities, that, when combined with the breathing soundtrack, and the blue lighting, seem to indicate a dream sequence. If you put more thought into FMJ, you'll come out noticing a lot more about the film. Things such as a burning monolith in the background, which indicates a doorway into Hell, which the troops then encounter first hand fighting the sniper.

[Gunnman941]

The film structure is completely inconsistent in the best possible way, completely different from any other war movie, ever. First off, the first act represents the death of the inner "child" in these men, and there metamorphosis into men (killers). Kubrick observes the ideas that a "man" is only defined as how many men he kills. Then in the second act he satirizes Apocalypse Now (By denouncing the "Duality of men") and Rambo.

[Bassbait]

@Gunnman941 Not only is he satirizing those films, he also ironically satirizes FMJ! The entire ending could really be seen as an over-the-top mirror of the first segment. Pyle is now replaced by Animal Mother, Private Snowball is now replaced by Private Eightball, and Sergeant Hartman is (briefly) replaced by the officer who yells "inside ever gook is an American trying to get out" (paraphrase). Many parts of the beginning are poetically mirrored (such as the Sniper scene towards the end).

[Gunnman941]

Third act, ask the question "are men naturally destructive". This is shown by the by the derstrunction of the city of Huế. Men are shown completey unorganized, and everything is in disorder when they attack the city. This is obviously shown to repsent the training recieved on Parris Island, while is somewhat effective, is completely useless when the men are forced into true battle. And the obvious metaphore for the death of the "inner child" when the killed the Viet Cong girl.

[Gunnman941]

I completely agree. FMJ is a masterpiece that no one takes seriously. It's sly obervastions with it's dark satire, eriee comparisons to other Vietnam movies, and Kubrick intellectuality. It's a thriller, a comedy, a war movie, a passion piece, and a social drama (without the gimick of trying to empathize with it's veiwers or characthers) all in one. No other war movie has done that, ever.

[Bassbait]

@Gunnman941 I could think of one that comes close... Dr. Strangelove!

[TheGatorfan93]

@Gunnman941 .....BING!

[suzzaneee]

[goback3spaces]

[MrJohnnyGuitar1]

Sterling Hayden is the greatest cinema actor of every time.

[teheLysander]

stanley kubrick :)

[pollywogA1]

Was that clown mask worn by Johnny (Sterling Hayden) during the race track robbery the same mask worn by Joker in the Dark Knight? They looked the same to me.

[RickvanVeldhuizen]

Colleen Gray... I'm not pretty and I'm not smart... Geez her character thoroughly underestimates herself.

[failharderpl0x]

Violence!

[bambarn5678]

Tarantino pulled off his OWN heist after seeing THIS movie!

[Bassbait]

@bambarn5678 Tarantino = unimaginably bad when compared to Kubrick.

[bambarn5678]

@Bassbait Try to catch Asphalt Jungle a JOHN HOUSTON Great Starring Sterling Hayden,,,Dynamite!

[jmalmsten]

@bambarn5678 oh for the love of FSM... and here I thought that it was all stolen from Ringo Lam's City on Fire... or any of the other movies that are frequently thrown around by the anti-tarantino-bandwagon.

Maybe you heard of Leone stealing from Kurosawa and Kurosawa stealing from John Ford, or was it The Glass Key, or Red Harvest? And I'm quite certain they stole from people too...

or as someone said... "Every artist steals from other artists, but the great ones steal from the best!"

[MrLunitunz]

@jmalmsten Dashiell Hammett never 'stole' from anyone as far as I know.

But there's a saying, that there is no such thing as an original story. The Romans 'stole' from the Greeks, the Greeks from the Egyptians and so forth. People take tales and re-tell them for better or for worse, look at the remake craze that seems to be sweeping across Hollywood. Characterising it as stealing puts a sinister slant on it when in truth there really isn't anything sinister about it.

[MrLunitunz]

@bambarn5678 The same could be said of many films.

[wearerabbits]

This is a totally underrated movie, which is odd for a Kubrick film. As a noir its exceptional, a masterclass in pacing, tightness, structure, photography and lighting. Its a film that I actually enjoy watching, whilst watching. The fact that a key scene is shown three times from different vantage points was well ahead of its time, as was the non-linear structure generally.

[Kelly14UK]

For a start, the language was ahead of its time.

[hiitsmewutsup09]

the connection to dark knight is mostly just the opening scene with the clown masks, and the betrayals among the heist group

[thinwristsx]

I really wanna see this movie.

[TheHateKorp]

Saw this film yesterday! Brillian film!

[HannesPowerLoad]

@TheHateKorp

Yesterday 2years ago

[goatmango]

Can't believe hardly anyone has made the connection with the Dark Knight.

[popou]

one of the greatest movies

[BestOfTheBestNumber9]

This is one of my favorite films... the lean and fluent pacing is incredible, the narration, the actors, story-line, sets, EVERYTHING is sensational. One of the best noirs of its day... definetly one of Kubrick's best.

[saltwaterebel]

tarrantiono definely borrowed from this for resevoir dogs.
