So glad i caught this film on film4 last night was worth staying up til 3am for it. What a film can't describe how good it is, how he remembered all them lines is beyond me!
What i love about mike leigh's films is that none of the dislogue is origionally written it all came from improvisation and workshop which the actors take part in. thats how these amazing dialogues are different from most things you'll see in more mainstream films
first time i heard this speech was as a sample in an orb song called s.a.l.t., blew me away, even without seeing the guys face, his delivery is excellent. the barcode being divided like that though, is this true?? anyway great scene!
@wackybumcheek haha, I heard the first half of this video in a song, too :D but not the same one as you, it is in the 10th track on Global Underground 024, disc 1
I'm living day by day. Im trying to jump a few times to day... Wow! 4th movie of a great English playwright. Its a harsh parable about living alone in London, bruises, underclass. According to Leigh, the movie would be, funny and sad, beautiful and unfriendly, full of compassion and horror, responsible and anarchic. Best director and actor (D. Thewlis) at Cannes.
I was amazed when I found out that vast majority of the script was improvised... well you can't write this stuff, comes from the mind and thats whats great about this film
You can say that again, the truth is that we can stop this from happening by forming unity through provable science of the mind, besides there are Advanced beings here to stop it from happening, I know this to be true...Many aspects of the bible are clues to extraterestrials including Jc, he was pretty brilliant if you read what he did based upon duality and perception, he was forming unity through mind, read acts but read the sermon on the mount, I do not beleive in organized religion, Neo
Corporatism is the trojan horse for communism which is actually through capitalism in disquise as we become consumed by technology blinded to our true natures due to the loss of our instinctive intuitions which forms our economy, economy is our transference of intuitive nature to our collective dysfunction "economy" is the management of our loss in ability to live bare ass naked in the woods instinctively through the advancement in technology.

Good question, I'm a film quote master and I've quoted many scenes even longer than this, but, I'm seemingly unable to quote this despite my tryings. It's just too scattered and intricate. I can get up to a point until for some reason I start repeating things.
@ClemenzaKimble cos he pretty much wrote them all himself :) the way that the director, mike leigh, works is by allowing the actors to improvise, and thats how he constructs the scripts, alongside them. david thewlis is just ridiculously talented!
It should because its true, but the end of the world is the beginnning of a new world if we learn a true psychology, I am learing Quantum Physics through metaphysical language to explain economy and the human relationship we have with creation based upon duality and perception, JC would have a hard time with Christianity as it symbolizes his message, which was the true natural psychology, we are being consumed by economy, see the movies listed on my site which reflect duality.

Ego intellectualism, and a distrustful view of Jesus which weighs a distrustful worried minds manipulation of scripture more weighty than what the bible actually says. Ready to be scooped up and lived out by liberal minds in the very world that he visions we are slaves of. Just because you watch something that makes you think doesn't mean you fall numb to the poison poetry of liberalism and anti-Christ.
Cinematic power to rank with Kurosawa, Bergman and Kieslowski. Bloody unbelievable that this is unavailable on DVD. Thewlis gives one of the greatest screen performances of all time, and the character - apart from being one of the most believable human beings ever put on screen - is the most persuasive, most electrifying imp of the Apocalypse ever created anywhere.
David Thewlis developed this whole dialogue. Rent the DVD and listen to the commentary. He pulled together all the odd things that make Johnny's theory of the world. Also his obsession with smoking. Every actor had to improvise their characters until the scenes distilled down to the final script. Amazing.
i can watch this over and over again. easily the best scene in film. love Thewlis performance. brilliant!
