Dan never loved anyone except himself, Larry says it best "you don't know the 1st thing about love, bcz you don't understand compromise". Larry knows what compromise is, bcz he fights for Anna, and even forgives her. He tries to understand her and the source of her infidelity. He was even kind enough to give him the address where Alice was, partly so he could get rid of him, but also for Alice's sake. However, he can't bring himself to be THAT kind, cz Dan is an arse so he takes a parting shot.
@hypocriticallysaying I think with Larry, the key word to bear in mind with him is "kind". I can't remember if it happens in the film but in the play, Anna tells Dan that she loves Larry because he's kind, to which he responds, "Don't give me that, kind is dull, kind will kill you. Anyone can be fucking kind." The point being that "being kind" can be derided, but do so at your peril, because when a "kind" person is crossed in the way Dan did to Larry, the kind person's revenge will be brutal.
"Depressives don't. They wanna be unhappy to confirm they're depressed. If they were happy, they couldn't be depressed anymore. They'd have to go out into the world and live, which can be depressing."
LOL Jude Law comes off as such a whiny little bitch in this scene. And I disagree with the couple of comments that bashed Julia Roberts - I thought she did very well in this role, which was quite harsher and more flawed and nuanced than her typical rom-com persona, and I was certainly more invested in her character than I was Jude Law's. Clive Owen and Natalie Portman definitely gave the best performances, though.
As the thunder claps at the end, I was praying it would bust into the seminal East 17 jam fittingly named 'Thunder'. I was expecting to hear Tony Mortimer tickling those ivories with nuanced grace as, as the kids say, the shit doth hit the fan & we see Jude Laws world being rocked. To hear Brian Harvey croon sassily a mournful lament as Jude sheds many a tear over his seemingly dire situation, well, I think I for one would spaff my pants & it would be so, so sweet...
@jasonismyhomie An East 17 soundtrack would've have surely gravitated the emotional resonance in this scene to jizzing in ones pants proportions. Elsewhere too. Just think if 'House of Love' was been blasted in the strip club? It surely would've been a more fitting jam & something one could watch booty's clap to. Then to accompany the break up scene Mortimer's magnum opus 'Please Come Home For Christmas' on the soundtrack. There wouldn't be a dry eye in the theater, Jap's or ocular.
@oakraidergrl4lif Well, Dan was like that before and Dan was the one who took Larry from Anna in the first place. What's wrong with Larry fucking Alice that night in the club when Alice and Dan weren't even together?
@SJMJ91, like i said in a previous comment. he says dropped. try to read his lips. in the stage play he does say wrapped though. they changed a few things from the stage play
Clive Owen's character absolutely destroys Jude Law's character with every utterance: "So where's the apology...you cunt." "Boo hoo...so do I." "And the owner loves the dog for so doing." "You're drowning." "Yea...thanks!" "Here's a good one...she never sent the divorce papers to her lawyer." "I didn't do it to give her a nice time, I fucked her to fuck you up...a good fight is never clean...and yea, of course she enjoyed it." As he says, I could go on. Buster.
@mcriii True that but there is one part where Dan/Jude beat Larry/Clive: "You still pissing about on the net?" "Not recently" "I wanted to kill you" "I thought you wanted to fuck me." haha win! :P
@choppedlogic i think he says bastard? Its jut the accent that he doesnt properly pronounce the "d". Its english actors portraying english characters, buster isnt really a term in british slang
Omg,Clive has such a scrumptious voice,and omg,he sounds sooo sexy hurling insults,lol.He's soooooo deliciously devious in this movie,loved it,and loved him♥
Does anyone else doubt that Larry is a dermatologist? He has way too much heart, too much character, too much moxy, too much charisma. I never ever met a dermatologist the likes of him. Devil in a white coat..
of course, hes going to masturbate like a caveman, hes demonstrating his male superiority ... while the other, being a pussy for crying, should get lost by then ...
Such people as Larry more often also win. He strong, rough, lives instincts, but is capable to struggle. "Have you ever seen a human heart? It looks like a fist wrapped in blood! Cynically.
Jude's character is interesting, and it unfolds through the movie. He forms strong emotional dependencies like an infant to a parent. And yet he's brutally hypocritical, sleeping with one woman and yet obsessing over who his girlfriend "cheated" on him once. His asshole factor is through the roof.
Seeing him go from "I love you" to smacking her across the face in minutes is educational. Alice says it best: "I can't do anything with your easy words."
Hey?! I wanted to be the one to quote this line.fuck it I'm going to do it anyways because you did not get it right,you are missing one little letter,sorry ...."Have you ever seen a human heart?It looks like a fist wrapped in blood!Go fuck yourself.You spider!you.....wait?..what? dammit!! I messed up to."
This film is very memorable - memorable lines, scenes, characters, acting etc... I actually saw it twice when it was released - it's equally as good with each viewing. A modern classic? Maybe.
this movie rules. Patrick Marber's writing is beautiful and clive owen and jude law (and julia roberts and natalie portman)'s performances are impeccable unlike my spelling
And that is how you successfully destroy a man.
