The Informers clip 4

In such works as Less Than Zero and American Psycho Brett Easton Ellis brilliantly dissects contemporary American society, a culture in which too much is never enough. Now, adapting his own acclaimed novel for the screen, he returns to the Los Angeles of the early 1980s with a multi-strand narrative that deftly balances a vast array of characters who represent both the top of the heap (a Hollywood dream merchant, a dissolute rock star, an aging newscaster) and the bottom (a voyeuristic doorman, an amoral ex-con).
Connecting all his intertwining strands are the quintessential Ellis protagonists—a group of beautiful, blonde young men and women who sleep all day and party all night, doing drugs—and one another—with abandon, never realizing that they are dancing on the edge of a volcano. Filmed with uncommon glamour and grit by acclaimed Australian director Gregor Jordan (Ned Kelly, Buffalo Soldiers), The Informers is an alternately blistering and chilling portrait of hedonism run amuck.
Starring: Billy Bob Thornton, Kim Basinger, Mickey Rourke, Winona Ryder, Amber Heard, Rhys Ifans, Brad Renfro, Jon Foster.

this has to be my favorite scene in the whole movie.

Gotta love how the script attempts to humanize the characters. In the book it goes like this: Graham: "Did you sleep with Christie while I wasn't here?" Martin: "Of course. Do you care?" Graham: "Not really." In the movie, Martin says: "Nooo, wouldn't do that to you." hahaha

Anyone Knows for sure what exact model of porsche is that of Graham s?

Id like to know that, cause the car is very cool.

The movie is excellent, By the way, does anybody know other movies like this? I really loved American pSycho and The Informers too. Must have watched them a minimun of 30 times. especially AP.Anyway, thanks for your your possible answers.

GS loves Christie, even though the norm is to only connect with her sexually. His struggle is born of empathy, whereas PB is completely lacking therein. He is a caricature of indifference, an archetype of a different sort of person. PB also struggles with fractured-self, but doesn’t care to resolve it. GS wouldn’t slice the eyelid of a homeless person. If PB visited a dying lover he wouldn’t kiss her one last time, but maybe laugh at her, or remind her of her impending doom.

@axlscenes he’s nothing like a young Bateman (PB) to me. Graham (GS) has a yearning to know what’s right, and this potential to do it, even if it’s unclear whether he’s ultimately able to realize that. He sees the depravity that surrounds him, and the confusion it generates, even if he celebrates parts of it. He’s concerned about the consequences of the confusion, and the lifestyle beyond moral normalcy, and the way it’s uncool to care (‘really awful things’).

The scenes from the movie just remind me of my life in the suburbs of D.C. , which is totally out of control right now even in a recession. Every weekend party party party, go to your little internshi, go home sniff coke, have sex with someone and do it all over again. How many times do I have to pop my collier before I leave my apartment just to fit in? I don't want to be a "dandy" but thats life in the suburbs of D.C..

[jakmiec]

[axlscenes]

Reminds me of a young Patrick Bateman...
