  • I'm not trying to be prejudice or anything, but is it that in all the spiritual religious movies, the angels are always English, Constantine, Legion, Dogma? And in Dogma the fallen angels were American, come on what are they trying to say?

  • @schizokitty177 actually tilda swinton is Scottish, not english.

  • @snillocgrom She is English, she was born in the UK, and educated at an English and Scottish boarding school, and her mother is actually Australian,, her heritage is of Scottish decent. But I'm wasn't saying that her herself is English I'm saying that they always make them PLAY an English to be an angel.

  • @schizokitty177 how does her having scottish decent make her "english?" That makes her Scottish. She didn't play an English. She was playing Gabriel, in her usual accent. Christopher Walken in The Prophecy had an American accent....in fact all the angels in that movie did, fallen or not. And Gabriel here is fallen.

  • @snillocgrom She was born and raised raised in London til she went to school, idk where the school is. Her accent is English. If your grandparents are from another country, but you were born in the US, you are a US citizen regardless of where your they are from. You still need a passport or travel visa to go to another country. You're still not understanding what I'm trying to say...

  • @schizokitty177 You're right, what exactly ARE you trying to say?

  • @snillocgrom THAT THEY ALMOST ALWAYS GET A EUROPEAN TO PLAY THE ANGELS THAT'S IT! End of story And just because her heritage is Scottish doesn't mean she's from Scotland or has to have a Scottish accent. She's from England and that's why her accent is English. That's like saying African-Americans can speak the African languages or all of them can speak in Ebonics...Seriously, it's like I'm talking to a wall...

  • @schizokitty177 "THAT THEY ALMOST ALWAYS GET A EUROPEAN TO PLAY THE ANGELS THAT'S IT!"

    Finally, took you long enough to say just that. Is it a habit of yours to not get to your point until people goad you? I'll make sure I'll remember that English = European next we talk. Really, I promise.

  • I'd grab her by her tie Then french kiss the hell out of her

  • were all fucked

  • 2:20 I would so grab her and shove my tongue down her throat

  • I love it when she says 'you're fucked'

  • My god! She is so hot in this role! And the suit! I so want to do things to her.... Damn!

  • PERFECTION. JUST. SO.

  • The wings.... the wings! Oh, and Tilda is fabulous, as always.

  • Comment removed

  • I love how they gave Tilda the Conan wave.  Now they're indistinguishable.

  • Mm, Rachel Weisz.

  • Holy shit, 66,660 Views!

  • @DoesItOffendYouNigga umadbro? U totally mad

  • A deeply flawed (Keanu) endlessly fascinating movie given amazing grace by Tilda's presence.

  • wow, she's a fantastic actress, and hot! she wears a suit better then a lot of men.

  • @veronicajade20 I'm a guy who want's to rip that suit off her and fuck her just to show that she's a fuckin lovely woman.

  • wow, she's fantastic actress, and hot! she wears a suit better then a lot of men.

  • the first time I saw tilda, I was enchanted by her strange beauty right away

  • youre fucked xD!

  • I like to think that Tilda was barely even acting here: just reacting with exasperation and pity when confronted with Keanu's usual "acting." Love her to death!

  • God dammit. I simply adore Gabriel!Swinton. She's bloody perfect. That expression when she tells him he's fucked... I could watch her over and over again.

  • @mooregger

    I know. It's unreal how good she is. Isn't it? So good that she borders on the sublime.

  • I think this is an anti-smoking ad.

  • my goodness i tried to like Keanu Reeves, but he's too awful! xD

    btw Tilda Swinton is amazing =D

  • its fascinating & eerie when she says "you're fucked"

  • she has a strange unique face. very beautiful woman. brilliant actress too

  • While she is androgynous, I think its pretty obvious shes a woman. and a pretty attractive one to boot. Oh well, at least this couldnt be worse than when I wanted to fuck that hot asian chick from Smashing Pumpkins when I was 12. Oy.

  • wow reeves is a HORRIBLE actor! lol

    tilda is the best !

  • 4 people are fucked.

  • why does people hate on Keanu so much, he does a good role as constantine!

  • she is great as gabriel.

  • In all seriousness when I saw this movie I did not know who tilda swinton was and really thought she was a man.

  • @kadeb ...how?

  • swinton reminds me of Elly from La Roux

  • that's how angels should look like..tilda's perfect, just perfect, for the role :)

  • only in Constantine can Gabriel say "You're fucked." and get away with it. <3

  • @phreak Yeah, I don't think that was in the Bible....But there'd be more fans if it was in there! ;)

  • I ve never ask to see I was born with this curse

  • i think its carrot top

  • Compared to her... he sucks ass :p

  • my name is gabriel but is the angel to post to be a girl or gods servent or best angen or 2cd after meguel

  • I love 0:03 - 0:06!

  • Love her eyes at 2:18, it's like you're looking into Heaven through her eyes.

  • "Everything you've ever done you've only ever done for yourself" Great line, great delivery.

  • I loved Tilda as Gabriel in Constantine, I loved how she & Constantine talked to each other. Especially at the end.

  • The wings look so cool

  • Is it just me, or is Keanu Reeves's acting particularly bad in this scene? I kept cringing every time he spoke.

  • @gooshnaaflagen Yeah, i agree with u. Maybe he just wasn't feelin the character's plight in this scene, i dunno

  • "You're going to die young because, you smoked 30 ciggaretes a day since you where 15. And you're going to go to hell because of the life you took. You're fucked."

    - Gee thanks! You've been ever so helpfull!

  • She's just so hot in this.. other than that its... meh

  • i thought gab was a man not a women and a archangel not a half breed??

  • @hurleyOC This movie was based on a comic centered on an exorcist that was damned for summoning a demon to combat another demon that had possessed a little girl; thus spinning him into despair and sending him on several misadventures including hiding a baby born of an angel and a succubus and outwitting the 3 Lords of Hell by selling his soul to each one, causing a power struggle in Hell that forced them return his soul.

    Accurate to Christian teachings, this is not. lol

  • I hope that was a big dictonary he threw on the floor and not a Bible. :(

  • Constantine being clairvoyant is the only person in the library who sees those wings.

  • There is precedence that angels had sex according to biblical scripture. They were known as the Sons of Anak, or the Nephalim.

  • At least wether is nice...

  • tilda swinton was the best thing in this movie. she was the reason why I saw it in the first place.

  • @ryomaluver agreed.

  • Is Gabriel supposed to be a man or woman in this film? Tilda is beautifully angrogynous, but they never refer to Gabriel as a girl or boy in the movie..Love her/him though :]

  • @Chevaldelune The question is whether or not angels have a sex. I think you have your answer.

  • oh man when i first seen gabriel in this film i was like HOLY SHIIT its Belial from angel sanctuary incarnated into real life form!!! if they ever made angel sanctuary into a life-action movie they soooo need to cast Tilda caze she would fucking rock!!!

  • @IsobellaAme That is EXACTLY what I thought :) xx

  • @IsobellaAme OMG you're so right! I never noticed how much they looked alike! Tilda should totally play Belial if they makea movie of Angel Sanctuary.

  • "You're fucked" : >

  • Tilda is so beautifully androgynous

  • yea, she is! and angels don't have sex? double meaning intended?

  • Angels doesn't have sex... xD they are jutro angels,no female or male :)

  • Gabriel's first seen with her back turned. Bad sign in movies. ;)

  • That "father" was a douchebag!

  • @t260y Who? Boba means father in Arabic.

  • Oh man I love the wings! I first noticed Tilda Swinton after watching this movie and it was this scene that really caught my eye. And the fact that she's wearing this fine suite.

    Is Tilda playing Gabriel the angel as a man in this movie?

  • "What does he want from ME?"

    "Only the usual, self sacrifice, belief"

  • "You're fucked."

  • gabriel was jelous of how humans "easily" can (according to him) earn a place in paradise..

  • i'd hate it if I had to ask Gabriel for a bank loan. O_o

  • Tilda Swinton is so sexy!!! She is even more sexy when she is playing the 'bad guy' like in Narnia!

  • Can't stop loving Tilda

  • @samuraimangaka Im going to say the same thing

  • why is it that this religion vs science crap always comes up for debate?

  • Can anyone else other than Constantine see Gabriel?

  • Yes, to the normal human eye, Gabriel just appears as a "Man" of the church. But for the spiritually sensitive like Angela (later in the movie), Isabel, and Constantine, they can all see Gabriel for what "he" is.

  • other can but don't see the wings eta..

  • Constantine has a special ability, and it appears that the archangel is his personal guardian.

  • Archangel Micheal?

  • No , Gabriel . Michael`s not in The Movie.He might show up in Constantine 2.

  • This doesn't follow movie man. because I DID SAY GABRIEL. I asked "Can anybody else other than Constantine see Gabriel." (I also however forgot to ask about her wings in the library).

  • yes, people can see gabriel, as a human, but the wings only constantine can see

  • strange i thought Gabriel was suppose to be a good guy. never thought the left hand of god would try to destroy the Earth

  • Didn't care much for the movie, but the visuals were stunning and Tilda Swinton was AMAZING! Loved her!!!

  • Sadly, I agree. I wish this movie was lived up to what the visuals and of course her acting was.

  • She is sooo fine!!! :)

  • Who else could play Gabriel in such an ambiguous way? Love you Tilda.

  • the first 3-7 seconds is pretty sick.

  • why do catholics are always the ones that take the credict????

    DAMN

    TO THE HELL WITH THE VATICAN!!!!!!!

    and the madafucker pope

  • "you're fucked."

  • id rather cut my pipi than comit suicide

  • I don't think she looks at all androgynous. She is actually kind of hot. She is also really fit.

  • I think Tilda Swinton plays the perfect Gabriel...a perfect androgyne.

  • @Gabrielusobscurus Like early years Katharine Hepburn in the 30's, check out Sylvia Scarlett and theater playing Amazon warrior.

  • I like this movie alot but you have to put aside all the flat-out errors (lies) regarding the Catholic faith...i.e. suicide is NOT considered a mortal sin and Christ did NOT die from a spear to the side.

  • i'm catholic, and suicide IS a mortal sin. WE LIVE TO SERVE GOD.

  • sorry but god is just an imaginary friend for the unstable...

  • ok thats what you think

  • Yes it is, and I have told this theory to many people and a large percentage of these people now believe the same thing as me. I respect that you (I'm assuming that you believe in God) and many other people have created this "being" to help themselves through hard times.

  • Yay. debate.

    Tashadow123, I don't think you're respectful at all. And I think there's a vast majority of people who believe in God at the very least, though they might not follow his commandments. Which is different from a true atheist who believes he or she guides himself to a justified existence with varying degrees of importance depending of the person's personal opinion. God does help us though hard times, vs. an atheist who believes in the god of them self, who fyi. is not that dependable.

  • Ok well I respect those that believe in "God" but I'm not one of those people, therefore I cannot relate to many things believers say. I'm sorry but in the end it's science that always oversees religion.

  • I don't know what you mean by "oversees" exactly but I'll venture to guess that you mean that the changing revelations in science control the teachings of any religion.

    I find that hard to reconcile with the definition of "religion" and "science", seeing as religion is mostly grounded in morals, not if dinosaurs lived during the time of Adam and Eve, there was actually a world-wide flood, or if Jesus really had long or short hair! No one person is the be-all/end-all expert, but faith remains.

  • @adorima "God" doesn't help anyone through anything. The belief in God does. Which stems from an inherent weakness in the individuals who believe, because they're too afraid to endure on their own, so they conjure up some imaginary friend who's "always with them".

  • @ZKY2 Dude, you are so lost.

  • its true maybe to you its imaginary ... but for the most of us not just the christians and muslims or even the buddhist etc ... there is this thing called faith that give us something to look through ... its also the thing you called love and care or any emotions stuffs... you can't see it you can't hold it but yet you believe it ... its like air .. not everything that exist should always be seen ... like the light/ sun's rays you can see it but you can't touch ... thing is its just a movie!

  • Yeah, I get what your saying but still...the imaginary friend gives you faith...and you cant touch air, light and the sun's rays because they are gases...not solids or liquids XD You cannot touch gases, you can only manipulate them.

  • sooooo wrong

    suicide is a sin. and when christ was crucified what the romans did at the was put a pear through his side you see the scar on his body even on the crucifix and check it up on th tinternet silly silly person :S (cant tell if ur a guy or girl lol ) safe x

  • You're utterly wrong.

  • well jesus did not die really from the spear , he was stabbed by the spear while crucified that is to make sure he is dead, and one thing is he died due to loss of blood im a catholic and christian im not really the kind that believes everything in the catholic world but its a matter of faith at the very least we have faith ... its like love and emotion stuffs ... you can't see it yet you believe it ... its just like that... a simplest explanation i can give..

  • that suit is so sharp on Tilda! gotta love her. She's the only one that can do it right

  • Now I haven't seen the whole movie, so I can't really put this in the "their context", but I think that Gabriel here is really complacent, legalistic, insincerely faithful and latent-ly spiteful. It's perfect for satirizing those modern day pharisees among us.

    Plus! Tilda's so gorgeously androgynous. Check out her movie "Orlando." She plays a girl and a boy in that one. :)

  • Lucifer was the most powerful angel.

  • Low blow from Gabriel xD

  • how come you think keannu is such a horrible actor.. i think he's fine...

  • god his acting is just aweful. keanu reeves has made a living off of acting terribly.

  • Yes,but he's successful at doing it.Look at how much "The Matrix Trilogy" has made.I personally loved "Point Blank" but he was shity as hell in "Street Kings"

  • I love the difference between the Constantine movie and the actual Hellblazer series; in the comic series, Constantine goes to talk to Gabriel upon being advised to do so by Ellie (a half breed demon, she's in a lot of the deleted scenes on the DVD, and the one who says "holy water?" later on in the movie), and Gabriel's referred to as 'The Snob'. xP

  • lol ur fucked

  • I love Tilda!!

  • Yeah,I think she's gorgeous!

  • She has a nicer suit tham mine.

  • Gabriel was my favorite character!

  • i liked balthasaar!!!! but i think gabriel was great too....very attractive in her own unique way! and if i am not mistaken she had the hots for constantine!

  • Constantine was best :P

  • Gabriels' a half breed?

  • No. He is an Archangel. Its in the Bible.

  • Actually, in the movie, Gabriel is a half-breed. In the Constantine universe half-breeds are defined as angels and demons that can exist on the Earth plane and influence mortals. They take on mortal form in order to do so. Balthazar (Gavin Rossdale) is also a half-breed.

  • I love Gabriel's wings *_*

  • Same!! I think they're smexy... *glomps Gabriel*

  • Smexy? that's an adjective I haven't heard applied to an angel before, but yes- those wings are hot stuff =) I want them and her suit, though I could probably not pull off the archangel look even half as good as Tilda.

  • Its so nice how the wings aren't in the way. When Gabe wants to show off they metaphysically show up or something. Don't ruin the tailoring at all.

  • i love this scene

  • What did he mean by she is a half breed. necause shes a shemale?

  • She's part human, part angel.

  • can say what you want,, constantine is a cool movie...but those eyes of Gabriël are wicked (H)

    wish i had them, would be cool...

  • Tilda played the role wonderfully! She's amazing

  • Tilda Swinton is my most favorite actress. Not even kidding. I was dying of happiness when I found out she was going to play Gabriel. <3

    She plays the androgynous role PERFECTLY. <33 And she's so prettyyy D:

  • of course, shes an amaizing actrees. that's why she won the oscar.

  • Apparently on the odd (rare) occasion Tilda Swinton is mistaken for a man in public. She mentioned an encounter at an airport where the staff had to do a double-take.

  • Hm. I believe it, but I think that's what I love about her so much, the fact that she can do both roles and make you believe it so well that you actually question it in real life. Not that many people can do that. :D

  • grbriel is man or women?

  • technically angels or archangel in this case are beyond of what we understand of man and woman...

  • oo i didnt know that cool ..

  • omg... uh-huh, Tilda is here fantastic! georgous! amazing!

    *.*

  • Gabriel wasn't a nephilim...this is off but still a good movie

  • androgynous :)

  • personally, I don't understand how could we have half-breed angels.I mean, how can angels have...sex?

  • well, biblically, the nephilim were created through angels lying with human women, so... yes.

  • o.O Gabriel's voice too feminine. :P But it's ok.

  • considering angels are pretty androgynous anyway, you'd think it wouldn't register. Or matter, for that fact -.-

  • ... i didn't mean it negatively, hence the smiley face. and i think it does matter, it makes her character more interesting.

  • Oh no, I was referring to FedUSAlf's comment on the femininity. I meant that generally the portrayal of angels is pretty angrogynous and that a more feminine voice isn't out of place, if anything I was agreeing with you. Sorry for any confusion.

  • what kind of wings did they use for gabriel? hawk falcon owl or vulture?

  • She is seriously the best part of this movie. Inspired casting, if there ever was.

  • Oh good question i just want to ask what does he mean by calling Gabriel a Half breed?

  • Only half breeds are able to take to the mortal plain, so on that note Gabriel must be a half breed, or else she couldn't be on the earth.

  • so y is she trying to destroy the world?

    *note i only saw the end of the movie at home where she is going to stab that girl so i really dont know anything*

  • It all makes sense if you watch the movie; she gives a huge explanation during it. Check out the other two parts, especially part 2 of 3 of this collection, then it'll all make sense.

  • OMG are Angel´s allowed to say Fuck ?
