this is not the whole truth from what I have heard from somebody who knew somebody who worked there, there were six men who were beaten and two where white and one of the cops who did it was a Hispanic cop. All the facts should be shown and Yes , Im latino and saying this.
The suspects were involved in a fight with a couple of cops; although the policemen had received only minor injuries the rumor mill soon had it that they were practically at death's door...combine this with alcohol served at the station's Christmas party and you've got a "payback" situation.
I love the cast, the writer...but if LA Confidential isn't one of the most over rated films of all time then I'm a ring tail monkey. It's so goofy and all over the place ah shit...
@codename617 Yes, you're absolutely right. It is a wonderfully written novel. However it is quite impressive how Hanson managed to convert a three character novel into a movie with over 80 speaking roles and not make it a three hour epic.
all the people saying 'fuck Titanic' and 'this should have won instead of titanic' and so on - you all have far to much respect for the academy awards.
Undisputably one of the best american movies of the '90s. Hanson managed something that many thought impossible: bringing back teh golden age of noir. And he did it in great style.
A bunch of beasts. Even Monkeys would be better behaved.... LOL, Useless cops. La confidential was a beautifull movie. Genuine God cops in the world = 2,5 % (or less) corrupt and useless cops = 97,5 % Mob mentality FTW :D
oh btw best part of the scene "yeah and fuck your mother" - "fuck you" *epic music starts playing* it's one of my favorite unintentionally funny scenes.
@katey1dog Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, but the timpani and the emotional tone are different in L.A. Confidential. The First Blood jail-break music is about creating sympathy for Rambo's traumatised mental state and his persecution by the bigotted police officer. Here the music is about white hot rage and brutality. We're not meant to condone in any way what's happening.
Bloody Christmas was a Real event that happened in the 50s but nothing has changed these racist Pigs still beat people like this many times for no reason at all . and they shot and kill unarmed black and latinos . like the unarmed Black man in Oakland that was shot while he was on the ground i'm talking about Oscar Grant . .
@bago510 welcome to california where it's hug a thug land.we have a new governor jerry brown! it's 1974 all over kids! lock your doors,hide your wives,kids etc.!!! lol!!! maybe if the l.a.p.d. were able to do their job properly l.a. and the state of california wouldn't be in the shit hole it's in.
@bago510 to quote Louis C.k. , "Black people's hands look like guns" so you really can't blame the cops for shooting them on accident all the time....
lol i think you're all forgetting that it's a movie! i know spacey threw that punch like a girl but he wasn't really tryin to hurt the guy! i'm sure in a real fight he'd have better form
"Fuck your mother" guy got it the worse. First he gets destroyed by Stenz, then White pounded him out only to get knocked out by Spacey's girl punch in the end. Awesome scene.
Yeah he is trying to remain objective, and calm, then the one mexican guy says "oh yeah well fuck your mother" then he responds "fuck you" then he wails on the guy.
@MisterGage77 yes that is funny but I think its funnier how White comes in trying to break it up and is neutral as well and than that mexican guy curses hm out and White joins the brutality haha
@demarspeed199 more importantly, he curses white´s mother. we learn later that bud has a good reason to be extra-sensitive about this subject, so it´s no wonder he flips his lid.
@RonyMexico yeah they just picked titanic because it made all that money. it is a proven fact that it became so popular because of REPEAT VIEWINGS BY TEENAGE GIRLS -not because it was a great movie(although i did like it from the point where it hit the iceberg, and the stuck up fiance of rose was funny). the girlies were goo goo ga ga over leonardo.
@jettkrash LMAO! I thought I was the only one who noticed that. I was about comment on how he punches worse than a girl. But it was great. Love, love, love this movie.
