As Jason mentioned, you know like 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.880 heist movies, that's one of my favorite genres in film too. 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.800 There's always so many great elements twist and turn, so 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:10.760 I think there are some of my favorite kinds of 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:11.640 movies too, for sure. 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:16.280 What was it that started your heist movie journey? Do 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.000 you do you remember? And what puts you on this 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.120 path where right now you're just like on a heist 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:21.840 movie vibe. 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:26.800 I think it was Oceans eleven. I think those Oceans 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.840 films I think started started my love for the movies, 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.640 and then after that, I just like started seeking out 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.279 more and more, and so I think I've watched almost 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.760 all of the major, like prominent ones. But I'm excited 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.040 to hear what some of your guys' favorites are. But yeah, 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.520 I would say the Ocean's movies definitely like kickstarted that 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.399 love for me because those movies are just so well done. 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:48.600 There's exactly there's so much fun. 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.840 Okay, let's talk about the elements, because I think a 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:58.280 heist movie contains some very specific elements. Those elements, there's 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.560 a lot of crossover with other genres. For instance, I 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:05.920 think the spy thriller, most spy thrillers and not most 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:11.400 many spy thrillers are actually yes, are heist movies on 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:16.560 some level. But let's talk about these elements and how 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.600 they all play together to create a wonderful, suspenseful hole. 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.240 I here is what I think I think. First, we 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:28.919 need and assembling the crew moment, right, You need a 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:34.160 team of heisters that have very specific skill sets. You 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.640 need like the boss mastermind, you need like the technical 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.880 I know how to crack a safe person. You might 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:46.320 need a driver Wheelman type character. You're gonna need the 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:50.400 guns person. And then you're gonna need like the con 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.160 the face, the person who's gonna go. 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:55.079 Yeah. 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.320 And then then occasionally, which I always think is fun 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:04.320 when this happens, is you need like that the rookie 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.760 I knew it this, I'm just you know, my dad 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:09.720 used to do this and now I want to do 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:13.080 it too, And they're kind of the wild card. So 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.240 that's the first element. You need that team two, you 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:20.760 need the plan. Part of what the wonderful thrill of 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:24.000 a good heist movie is that the build up and 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:25.679 the build up is so good because you get the 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:29.920 assembling of the crew who are always assembled for some reason, 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:34.560 either someone was wrong or it's one last yeah, whatever 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:38.360 the case is. And then it's the problem solving. Let's 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.720 case out this joint, and let's plan the how we're 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:45.160 going to do this, and then of course the heist itself. 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:52.240 So all of those elements are an act usually of 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:56.680 the movie and can almost stand on their own as 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:03.680 in terms of their arcs. Yeah, so, Ian, yes, what 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:07.600 have you seen before we start recommending heist movies and 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:09.360 what are some of your favorite ones, and let's talk 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:10.040 about those. 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:11.720 Sure Before we get to that, I just want to 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.440 add to that list of like the elements that you listed. 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:18.440 I think oftentimes there's usually like a betrayal of some 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:21.320 kind of got to have a betrayal somebody who's you know, 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.680 switched asides or playing both sides. And then I think 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:28.800 the motivation for the heist is also great because sometimes 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:33.600 it's like revenge. Sometimes the betrayal spurs that revenge yea, 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:35.919 or or it's like to prove a point, you know, 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.279 or to like crack the safe that couldn't be cracked. 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:39.920 They said it couldn't be done kind of thing. 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:42.720 Now you see me Like that just does me to 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:46.800 the point that just the point. 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:49.000 Exactly they're doing it for the flex Yeah. And then 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.960 I love also when there's like a twist, which is 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.240 usually coupled with a montage ll show you like how 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.600 they actually pulled it off is not what you think happened. 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.560 I love I love I love that like that switch up. 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.320 So the movies that I've seen, it's an extensive list, 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.000 but I'll just kind of give it to your rapid Fire, 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:08.600 all the Oceans movies, including Oceans eight, which I think 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:16.560 is underrated. Area, Inside Man, Classic the Town, classic inception, Heat, Heat, 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.200 I haven't seen in a long time, so I need 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.400 to rewatch that. It's been many years since I've seen Heat. 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:23.200 You got to see him talk about the fuck us? 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:27.320 You got that, she got a fast, you got. 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.600 Your head is all the way up inside. 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:31.960 The way. 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:35.119 It's a classic classic click slick? 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:35.479 Was that? 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:35.960 Was that? 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.720 What's that mean? One of my favorites, Den of Thieves, 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.839 The first one, Oh my god. The second one not 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:48.279 as much.

Ye, Jason, do you want to start 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:24.600 or do you want me to throw one? 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:29.480 Sure, let's start. I'll start with my to me it 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:37.000 is the heist movie that kind of set the template. Okay, 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.720 it's my favorite heist movie. Well, it's one of my 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:43.240 favorite heist movies, and I think it's a It's got 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:48.720 a sequence in it that is completely silent. That is, 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:52.560 I mean, you can see Mission Impossible in it, you 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.640 can see heat in it, you can see a million 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.720 different heist movies in every element of this movie. It 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:05.719 is nineteen fifty six Refifi by Jules Dasson, Yes, and 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:10.640 it is, Oh my god, it is so good. It's 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.040 got all of those elements, the assembling, the team, the planning, 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:19.000 and then the heist itself. It's about this criminal mastermind, Tony, 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:23.120 who has just been released from prison for a previous 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:30.199 heist and he gets approached about this job cracking this 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:37.560 supposedly uncrackable safe in this you know, very fortified jeweled store, 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:42.080 and it's just wonderful. And the thing I love about 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:48.280 specifically about international heist movies and specifically French cinema and 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:53.319 French heist movies. French you know movies like Pickpocket or 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.080 you know these movies that come from that milieu, is 0:09:56.160 --> 0:10:01.760 there's like a there's a note of existent like dread 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.280 that's under these movies. You know, a lot of the 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.760 movies that there that we love that are American heist movies, 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:12.080 there's like all this style, there's this panache. It's so fun. 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.600 You know, the Ocean's movies. It's fun.

Everybody, 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:38.199 the everybody who touches this, this idea, this plan, which 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:41.680 is the only way really for these characters to try 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:45.080 and live the life that they dream of. Everybody who 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:48.840 touches this, no matter how innocent, the rookie, the you know, 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.600 the person who is just tangentially involved, will come to 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:55.320 a bad end. And that's Forffifi and it's you know, 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.400 the black and white is gorgeous. Paris has never looked better. 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.760 And then the heist itself again is like a twenty 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:06.880 to thirty minute sequence that is completely silent.

Also has 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:30.400 that very dark thread of threat and existential crisis and 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:33.360 kind of the way that enwi and boredom can drive 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:37.360 you into different places and unexpected spaces. When I was 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:43.319 a kid, MySpace like header was something like I want 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.320 to run through the louver in two and a half 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.240 minutes or thirteen minutes or whatever it is in this movie. 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.040 So this was a very influential movie on me. 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.760 And I think it really is up there with her 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:54.720 a few feet as one of the kind. 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:59.319 Of coolest and also interestingly rule breaking heist movies. 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:06.040 This one breaks in Hollywood cinema making and heist movies. 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.040 So yeah, another. I like that double bill of kind 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.800 of originals. Jason, what are you pitching next? 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.760 I want to stay French because I just think that 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:16.920 they do it. I think I love the way they 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:20.280 do it. I'm gonna go with Bob Laflambour Bob the 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:24.760 Gambler from nineteen fifty six John Pierre Melville, The Legend 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:28.640 John Piterre Melville one of my mate, one of my absolute, absolute, 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:33.880 absolute favorites. It's about a gambler named Bob who lives 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:39.560 in Paris, and he's this kind of mover and shaker 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:45.480 in the kind of like underworld community, and he and 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:51.640 his team like he's kind of the gambler, the cheat 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.880 with the tart of gold like which we love. He 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:58.600 sees these young people who were kind of edging into 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:04.640 the underworld and he decides like to be a protector 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:10.040 of these people. And the heist itself, which is this 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:17.880 very very complex, convoluted heist of a casino, comes from 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:23.040 this his desire to, you know, protect this young woman 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:26.840 named Anne who's kind of like edging into this not 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:31.200 even edging, is you know, a young beautiful woman who's 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:35.800 who's poor, who is being taken into this underworld milieu 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:37.760 of people who are looking to exploit her. And I 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.240 think the thing that I really appreciate about Babla Flambourg 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:46.160 is it really is a almost a paternal relationship. This 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:50.120 is not like a I want to fuck this young woman. No, 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:54.200 It's like he sees her as a daughter and decides, Okay, 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:57.720 we're going to do this heist in order to kind 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:01.880 of secure her her future but also make a lot 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:05.320 of money for me and my team. And in true 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:09.120 French style, it goes sideways and kind of the worst ways. Yes, 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:13.960 but it's so stylish and good. Again, Melville is a legend. 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.280 The remake, which stars Nick Nolty, is also very good. 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.520 I think if you wanted to be good, I think 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.760 if you wanted to edge into it that way, I 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:23.840 would start with the original. But like the Nick Nolty 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:28.440 version is also very good. So those two raffifi Bubla Flamborgy, 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:30.200 do you have more, Rosie. 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.880 I've got one more And then I'm going to stay 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:36.400 in this I'm gonna stay in this space. This is 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.960 a movie called The Burglars from nineteen seventy one, which 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:44.960 I actually discovered recently thanks to like, you know, syndicated television. 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.480 I believe I saw this on the channel Movie TV 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:55.680 in nineteen seventies Athens. Omar Sharif and a is a 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:02.760 detective trying to hunt down a group of professional burglars 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:07.000 who are planning an emerald tice and it is legit 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:08.920 one of the coolest. 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:12.200 I couldn't believe this wasn't a bigger deal of a movie. 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:15.600 It's a PG rated movie, but it is so cool. 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:20.560 The showdown is unbelievable, all practical sets, all shot in 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:24.040 these weird coastal towns. It's from the seventies, weird coastal 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:29.120 towns of Athens. It's just such a beautifully shot movie. 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:33.840 And it is very classic in kind of the American 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:38.800 tradition of you are rooting for the thieves, like even 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.480 though these guys are really just doing it because they 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:47.000 want to steal something. It has great car chases, incredible 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:51.960 thrilling action scenes, and it is in my opinion, deeply 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:57.080 under scenes so that one for me was a big 0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:01.760 recent discovery by on re venue Jason. 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:03.480 Third and final, what's yours? 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:04.960 I have one more? 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:08.200 Maybe after this too? You have another one week? Okay, 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:08.600 got it? 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:13.440 So you have, of course seen The Dark Knight, which 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.400 I think the first twenty minutes of The Dark Knight 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.120 is a wonderful heist picture. You've seen Inside Man, It's 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:23.560 there on your list. The following movie is a huge 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:27.600 influence on both the heist opening high sequence of The 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:31.760 Dark Knight and Inside Man, which basically takes the entire 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:36.160 height structure of this movie and implants it into Spike 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:41.400 Lee's New York. The movie is nineteen nineties very underseen 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:46.479 Quick Change starring Bill Murray, Geena Davis, Randy Quaid, and 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:52.240 Jason Robards. It's about a Bill Murray who is a 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:56.480 kind of like down on his luck guy in New 0:17:56.560 --> 0:18:02.280 York who cooks up this Coka Maimie way to make 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:04.639 money quick and leave town, which is to rob a 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:12.200 bank dressed as a clown, and the way it unfolds again, 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:16.919 if you've seen Inside Man, it's the exact heist. 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:18.760 So yeah, I can't swear it. 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:23.520 For you, but he uses the clown motif to basically 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:27.760 distract the police as the clowns exit the bank, and 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:30.719 then he hides in the bank for like a while 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:35.480 and then leaves. It's uh and it then turns into 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:44.199 this like almost hallucinatory like travellg as they try to 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:49.000 escape from the location of the heist through the weird 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:52.880 streets of New York and these very strange neighborhoods where 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:57.920 they're witnessing like you know, people on BMX bikes, jousting 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:03.200 and this weird evil kind of It gets very very 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:08.119 strange and it's divisive. Like I recommended this to Chase Rano, 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:12.040 he hated it. I love this movie and it's again 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:17.480 very very undersen Check it out. Quick Change nineteen ninety 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:19.000 directed by Howard Franklin and Bulmer. 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:21.240 I'm gonna go for a movie that I think was 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:23.560 a little in the same era, was a little bit 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:27.080 underrated for a while there, but has been rated correctly 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:30.680 by the film scene for a long time, and in 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:33.280 the light of the tragic passing of Robert Redford, I 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:37.080 feel like is now being recognized, and that is nineteen 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:42.520 ninety two's Sneakers, which guys Robert Redford, Dan Ackroy, Ben Kingsley, 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:46.680 Mary McDonald, River Phoenix, Sidney Pointier, David Strahan. 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:49.040 Wow, Stacked Cast, Stacked. 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:52.200 Cast, And it's basically about the best way to pitch 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:56.000 it without ruining it is Robert Redford is a security 0:19:56.080 --> 0:20:00.439 pro and his team are like hackers, and they have 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:04.639 to come back together to hack a retrievy, like you know, 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:11.200 retrieve a particularly important and secretive item. 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:13.919 And it is so good. It's so cool. 0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:17.120 It feels very both ahead of its time but also 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:19.040 feels like if it was in black and white, you'd 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:21.360 believe it was like a seventies movie, So it kind 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:23.400 of has this great duality. 0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:25.720 And yeah, that cast is crazy. 0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:28.600 And it is also there's more people in it too, 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:34.440 and also there is some really interesting early nineties hacker 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:37.719 law and technology that then goes on to kind of 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:41.800 influence other hacker movies of this style. 0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:43.920 So that's definitely a great one. I like The Way 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:44.240 Into the. 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:48.080 Night, Absolutely love that. It's one of my absolute favorite 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.719 movies and it holds up. And the thing about that 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:53.119 movie Ian too, is it's got one of my favorite themes, 0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:56.439 which is this kind of like the post boomer you know, 0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:59.800 like they were they were, you know, activists, and the 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:07.640 sixties and how do they then translate that early and 0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:11.399 formative part of their life to the eighties and nineties. 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:15.760 This is one of those movies that like takes two 0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:19.920 very divergent paths to figuring that out and sets these 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:23.160 characters who take that path on on a collision coat movies. 0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:24.920 Okay, definitely, we'll check that out. 0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:26.359 That's a really good one. 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:28.399 And then here's my final one. So I think with 0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:32.760 heist movies, there's two ways to do it. And the 0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:36.840 two ways are I love the robbers, like I wanna. 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:39.720 It's wish fulfilment, Like I wish I was a smart 0:21:39.960 --> 0:21:43.880 I wish I had this, much like Guts, I wish 0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:51.320 that I had the wherewithal and the courage to come off, Yeah, 0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:57.359 to rip off a casino corporation, some organized crime. 0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:01.880 They deserved. 0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:05.199 Yeah, we live in a corrupt world and I wanna 0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:07.840 and I wish somebody would do something about it, and 0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:09.520 I wish it was me. And that's one way to 0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:12.119 approach a heist movie. And I think I've pitched all 0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:14.119 the movies I've pitched thus far have been that version 0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:17.000 of it, right, And then there's the other version, which 0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:20.000 raffifi kind of touches on towards the end of the movie, 0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:23.960 which is you're a thief. These people are thieves. Forget 0:22:24.000 --> 0:22:29.240 who they're robbing from, They're criminals. And if you when 0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:32.720 you touch that life, you better be ready for it 0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:38.879 because the consequences, the tragedy, the violence that it's going 0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:43.800 to visit upon you are tragic on it, you know, 0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:46.719 and often on a Shakespeare level. And so this movie 0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:50.760 is that version of that. It's I think Sidney Lumett's 0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:53.120 last movie two thousand and seven's Before the Devil Knows 0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:57.919 You're Dead, starring Ethan Hawk and the wonderful Philip Seymour 0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:02.520 Hoffman and Mrs to May in a wonderful turn role. 0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:05.600 It's about two brothers, and what I love about this 0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:08.480 movie is it plays against type, like there's the weak 0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:11.480 brother and the strong brother, and like, just in your mind, 0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:15.040 you're thinking strong brother Ethan Hawk, weak brother, Philip Seymour Hoffman. 0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:15.399 It's her first. 0:23:15.720 --> 0:23:24.160 Oh, Phillip Seymour Hoffman is so manipulative and greedy and evil, 0:23:24.400 --> 0:23:28.440 and Ethan Hawk is just like wants to please him, 0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:31.439 is so weak that it's you can't take your eyes 0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:35.639 off what's going on on the screen and Philip Seymour 0:23:35.680 --> 0:23:41.120 Hoffman's idea is let's rob our parents jewelry store and 0:23:41.240 --> 0:23:45.879 what happens from Mary, It's what happens from there is 0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:53.520 truly like Shakespearean tragedy. Incredible movie and just like and 0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:58.800 every performer is like on a ten great movie and 0:23:58.920 --> 0:23:59.879 one that's kind of forgot. 0:24:00.400 --> 0:24:02.800 Yeah, I'm going to go for one that is a 0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:07.120
