Single Take Devil's Advocate

[trickmastermonkey]

if this is a Columbia University film exercise, then I must be God.

[boogiefiend]

I appreciate that you're just a couple of young actors, learning your trade, so I would say that you aimed too high by trying to do this scene. You could maybe get try outs for Sunset Beach or similar, but to try mimicking Pacino on his best day? The acting is maybe not necessarily that bad, but to stand next to him makes it look...well.... fucking awful.

[xxInternetIdiot90xx]

I liked it, at least. Acting wasn't -that- bad for amateurs, you guys are trying to hold them to professional standards which is unrealistic. Doubt you could do better. Very cool that you were able to carry out that entire scene in one take.

[voiceofthelost]

Why does NO ONE seem to understand, the purpose of this video is not the ACTING. It's the cinematography.

Film makers do not need to act. Ask Robert Rodriguez, or Tarrantino, or Gus Van Sant, or Darren Arronofsky, or hell, anyone really....

The acting is allowed to suck, because the acting wasn't the fucking point.

From the description: "this is a Columbia University **Film exercise**. Students are to choose a section of a published screenplay and shoot it in a single take."

Film. Not Acting

[Etombayambo]

hahahahahaha, excellent the final.

[DamarSweetness]

Everybody needs to go back and watch the movies that you've seen. If you hadn't seen the devil's advocated then you need to. That shit is creepy. These people are powerful they don't care if they show us who they really are. They do it in plain sight but we never take the hints. its not just hand signs but is also what they say. They can't hide hid who or what they are. These people are demons, slaves to satan and they don't give a damn about the people. The world runs on greed

[bok3116]

playing as the devil, having a scene sitting him down while his son points a gun at him while standing should not be done. this is the scene revealing him as the devil himself. , he should be the one in power.

[KardKaper]

Why's harry potter in Devils Advocate?

[alfaandomega11]

this sucks bigtime,shithole actors

[OmNiMaN100]

The actor who plays satan is too dramatic he doesnt convince me at all that he is satan

[02javis]

Harry Potter ( witches advocate ) with a gun.

[alfaandomega11]

this sucks, did u watch the novie man

[bigderekkeene]

when you see shit acting like this, you appreciate how fuckin good Pacino is.

[vujade1]

dude with the tie functioned way better as an actor

[NJB74656]

I expected better from Columbia...

[najafzaidi]

please dont insult the art of film making by making such cheap pathetic copies .

[YahtzeeNazi]

These guys are COLUMBIA students?! Someone shoot me now, please. This can't be possible.

[Delirious1977]

@YahtzeeNazi Not only that, this movie was undoubtedly written about half of Columbia's LAW school...LOL...

[khan0890]

you people are all buttholes! this is the greatest acting ever. the guy playing keanu reeves is jesus and the al pacino guy is buddha. i want to have a 4-way with them and a sheep.

[abadeizer]

I liked the camera work though!

[SuperTroll1000]

If I was the prop guy Id have loaded that gun.

[Actionhero26]

Music is from the Ninth Gate,great movie

[LiHoLiHo]

Bad Light Bad acting... Cut dialogue ...

I think the only good thing was the voice...

[gotenks4puck]

Holy fuck this is brutal, kill yourselves honestly

[procrastinator99]

This has to be freshman work. No sophmore and up would do this terribly on a project.....this is near high school level work, how do you ruin those classic Satanic lines so precisely?

[RMonte11]

you would think the guy butchering Pacino's dialogue would have had the respect to actually learn the lines

[procrastinator99]

YES, I stopped it at 1:04 because I realised the dialogue was changed and cut. WTF?? its a blasphemy to do Pachino's blasphemy wrong!

[tirlegh]

can you say "terribly overacted"? Seriously, this is really bad.

[Marlboromani]

I think that good, really.

[StabMyHeartCuzILoveu]

This is an insult to the film

my god

[Shejn1]

True True

[ansemkurt]

you didn't make out with the girl??????

This failed....at life

[Rustywellsmore]

this is terrible

[judyrosati]

amateurish piece of work......

[Worlord]

The Asian guy isn't BAD

but the woman is just not sexy in the slightest and "Satan" the guy slaughtering Pacino's words should fail his course if he is at University.

I am shocked and displeased

[Worlord]

Is this a joke?

[interforlife]

Some method acting on Satan's role would improve the clip lol.

[per835]

Im sorry could have done a much better job.

[xNeMeSiSx]

geeks

[procrastinator99]

how are they geeks??? they got the lines wrong.

[tiddyjuice]

too bad those bullets werent real. maybe then i would have atleast got a laugh out of this.

[ifonlynevermore]

plz. just PLZ take acting lessons. for the love of all that is Satanic.

jk jk.

for a single shot that was good.

[Eisan91]

well...bravo, you've offically managed to take one of the greatest movies ever..and make it sucks, most of the time you got the script wrong anyway...no offence

[daniellegloveskeanu]

I HAPPEN TO LIKE THIS CLIP GREAT JOB BOYS !!!!!!! keep acting, keep the dream alive :)

I love the main movie but I think this is cute :)

[Omrie69]

just goes to show no one can even sniff Al Pacino shit lol

[madJedi1]

is she meant to be sexy?

[madJedi1]

this has to be the creepiest acting ive ever seen... gonna throw up!

[altpunkhead]

That guy managed to be worse than Keanu Reeves. Bravo.

[nigel0807]

Kevin looks like Harry Potter! Very bad!

[201022441]

it's hard to do things right with this movie... sorry guys but this isn't that great

[ricardocab4]

LOOOOOOOL

[marcosandor]

Mal intento...

[donkrishs]

nice try. too bad the best Al Pacino character quotes are missing- 'Let me give you an inside information about God. God! ....' other than that- it is also too fast - loss of flow. The 'YES!' part was a hit, but else. Tja. I give 2,5 from 5.

[gorgorothtyr]

you suck dicksss

[agedchoirboy]

seems like you didnt research the original film. the milton character isnt convincing. the original script has been cut to bits. the flow is missing. its cool that it was shot in one take though it doesnt redeem the rest. nice try chaps.

[bhcbhc]

thanks man, its just an assignment to block and shoot an existing script in one take... not even a try... its an obligation. Of course for dramatic beat, it shouldnt be shot this way.

[NigelLKB]

The guy doing Pacino is way over the top. Wats with all the fey hand gestures? Decent Keanu voice mimicry though.

[MNEguitarist]

If you were allowed to read the scriopt only once, and the shoot it in one take, then it's preety cool! On the other hand, if you did have the permission to make an effort to remember the lines better, then it's a bit lame...

[Shanna216]

This is pretty good...of course no one can follow Al Pacino, but I have to give y'all some props. Oooh...black panties...lol. Good job!

[stinky472]

If this had the nudity like the original, it wouldn't have been bad - like a porno only the acting is much worse than most pornos.

[WolfBoyGlen]

The acting in this is horrible, the fact that the lines don't mesh, and the ''John Milton'' Can't even act let alone, I doubt they've seen this movie.

[pagielme4ever]

great camera work!

that guys DOES sound like keanu reeves.

[snarkalec]

This acting in this is awful. I wouldve liked to see Grainne and Chris kiss. Or Chris and Christian. Or you and Chris.

[hhhell]

wow-great acting

[loveBUD420]

oh how i pity the youth of today you guys actually think this is good??? get off the meth and pot and watch it again, acting sucks although the camera work is ok

[bhcbhc]

chill out, its just an exercise. yes ... a school exercise which we could care much less, you 39 year old film expert.

[buzianyadatutube]

@bhcbhc gota love ambitious kids nowadays. dunwurryullgetitrightonesecond­beforeudie

[Brinah]

that was excellent! I'd like to see more! wow!

[em0ney]

Great movie, I always admire the skill of the long takes, and you all did a great job. Great cameraman too. Keep it up!

[wendyb482]

great short film! The acting was pretty awesome, if I do say myself. Hope you got a good grade!

[notchjohnson1]

hes no pacino but...

great remake though. i love this movie. maybe get a steady cam...?

[bhcbhc]

haha.. steady cam is too expensive for the sake of a class exercise

[bhcbhc]

haha, thanx for the comment guys... I did it just to see my friend as keanu reeves, cuz he talks and sorta looks like one. But I want him to wear glasses and more nerdy like a real Lawyer.

[baon2219]

omg i know this movie! it's the devil advocate! when i heard "marianne" I was like "this is the devil's advocate!" It's one of my all-time favorite movie ever! this is good. you guys acted really well!

[sheenque]

Quite possibly the best student film I have ever watched. Definatly the best student film done in one take I have seen tho.. My hat is off.

[KadajX]

Wonderful acting! I loved it. Makes me want to do a short movie ^_^ Great work
