A lot of stuff for Falling Down 23 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,520 actually, which is pretty cool. I want to give a little clear in 24 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:31,120 Prison dude a tribute for his work in Jack Reacher, also 2015, 25 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,280 I think, where he kind of reignited his Tom Cruise, Robert 26 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,080 Duvall mentor mentee relationship, which he kind of 27 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,920 did in Days of Thunder back in 1989. 28 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,640 So awesome film. But yeah, guys, take it away. 29 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,360 Do you have any words to say about old Robert Duvall? 30 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:47,960 What a performer. What a guy. 31 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,200 Again, Godfather. He was just absolutely 32 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,440 captivating. He's he's done so much. 33 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,880 He was absolutely tremendous. He was an absolute Titan on the 34 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,760 screen as performs in Apocalypse now was just on the cusp of 35 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,800 unhinged yet believable as a really, really little war 36 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,080 fighter, right. You know, loved it. 37 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,120 How many Oscars did the guy guess he got best actor. 38 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,480 He got the British Academy Film Award who primed him Emmys 4 39 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,400 Golden Globes, the Screen Act as Guild Award and he was nominated 40 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,520 for fucking Tonnes Tonnes, Best Actor on support and Rule for 41 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,920 Godfather, Best actor on support and rule for Apocalypse Now, 42 00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:23,960 Best actor on leading role for The Great Santini again, Tender 43 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,360 Mercies at the Apostles, Civil Action and Best actor on support 44 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:32,760 and role for The Judge in 2014. The guy just kept kept stacking 45 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,720 up the accolades, stacking up the stacking up the nominations. 46 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,360 What a guy you know. Yeah, wonderful. 47 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,440 Also got the the National Defence Service Medal and was a 48 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,400 private first class in the US Army. 49 00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:49,280 That's right. So a clear imprisoned dude. 50 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,000 All of that tied to the rifled age of 95. 51 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,640 We'll be covering some of his films almost certainly in in the 52 00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:58,880 near future, but. I mean, I mean, seriously, just 53 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,120 pulling one out of thin air? How about assassination Tango? 54 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,840 I've never heard of it mate, but it sounds 2. 1002 American crime 55 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,240 thriller film written, produced and directed by and starring 56 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,680 Robert Duvalle. I literally just pulled this out 57 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,040 of thin air and this sounds really good. 58 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,120 Anderson Duvalle is a successful American hitman whose employer 59 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,520 sends him to do a job in Buenos Aires, Argentina. 60 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,320 His contacts inform him that his target is a former general who 61 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,320 took part in Argentina's last military dictatorship following 62 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,600 a phone call from the court experiment. 63 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,920 As Anderson learns his job as late, he was targeted to see an 64 00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:32,520 injury in a riding accident. Angry and frustrated that he's 65 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,560 stuck in Argentina to targets required from accident, he walks 66 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,800 the street and he has music behind a red curtain. 67 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,400 He finds it. Behind the red curtain is a 68 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,520 beautiful woman gracefully dancing the tango with a man. 69 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,280 I'm not going to say anything else because we'll probably 70 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,080 spoil this film later on while on a podcast that this sounds 71 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,200 really fucking good. Dead over less. 72 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,720 Yes. Awesome, right? 73 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,280 Should we talk about Sicario? So here for one Apartment is 74 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,080 pulling an agent that specialises in cartel activity. 75 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,880 You'll be part of the team. What's our objective? 76 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:14,840 To dramatically overreact. We're not American. 77 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,920 Who do you work for now? I go where I'm sent. 78 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,440 Welcome to water. Yes, Sicario is the 2015 79 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,640 American action crime thriller film directed by Denny 80 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,640 Villeneuve, written by Taylor Sheridan. 81 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,800 That's Taylor Sheridan of Yellowstone, Landman, Tulsa 82 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,600 Kings, All that stuff. Starring Emily Blunt, Benicio 83 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,440 Del Toro, Joshua Brolin, and Daniel Kalia as well why I'm 84 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,440 going to deviate from the the Wikipedia summary here. 85 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,720 The film follows A principled FBI special agent. 86 00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:50,120 There is very little evidence of her being principled in the 87 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,720 film, who was enlisted by a government task force to bring 88 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,520 down a leader of a powerful and brutal Mexican drug cartel. 89 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,000 Sakari received praise for its cast, performances, writing, 90 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,200 direction, musical score and cinematography. 91 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,440 Yeah. So we're going to touch upon 92 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,320 quite a lot on this is Roger Deakins as the as the 93 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,200 cinematographer on this film. He is God's tier 94 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,480 cinematographer. On the 7th day, God said that 95 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,200 they'd be light. And Roger Deakins said, wait, on 96 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,960 my cue. Then Johan Johansson starting to 97 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,680 log over with us as the composer on this film would also work 98 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,920 again with Denny Villeneuve the following year on Arrival. 99 00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:29,320 Tremendous Film has one sequel, Sicario Day of the Soldado or 100 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,680 Sicario Soldado depending on which region you're in. 101 00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:37,480 Saldado just means Soldier which was directed by Stefano Salima 102 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,000 and Tradition 2018. A third film may be in 103 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,040 development. Taylor Sheridan has written them 104 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,840 both. Also, Taylor Sheridan wrote a 105 00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:46,480 brilliant film called Hell or High Water. 106 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,400 So going from that particular bone, I will say opening opinion 107 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,040 here. This is my hottest take about 108 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,240 Sicario. As beautiful as this film looks, 109 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,160 I think writing wise it's a little bit of a leaky bathtub. 110 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,120 And by that I mean Taylor Sheridan has a very particular 111 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,640 style which I think is incompatible with Dennyville. 112 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,480 Nerves focus in this film and the two things are pulling at 113 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,720 each other, I think. But we'll say that before we get 114 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,240 into the movie, guys. What are your opinions of 115 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,680 Sicario? That's Sanya go first. 116 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,800 Sam Wallace, one of us in of my opinion first. 117 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,400 So Sanya, you're a man. You're 1st through the door. 118 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,640 You're making me point man, knowing full well that that Jobs 119 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,400 is that guy's job is just going in to die first. 120 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,760 Roll one, blow one, son. Yeah, get in. 4-5 hang gauge, 121 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,800 right? So I've got to say kind of in 122 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,000 some way banger of a film really previously, mostly come across 123 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,360 it like short videos that you'll find everywhere on social media. 124 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:43,960 Laugh. The soundtrack really, 125 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,680 absolutely goes hard, really does make you sort of wary of 126 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:53,400 accountant looking types in chequered shirts because no 127 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:58,400 thank you. But yeah, it it sort of gives 128 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,960 you a feeling of slight unease throughout. 129 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,360 You can can watch it and go sort of. 130 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,480 It's a weird crossover between these guys absolutely do fuck 131 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,520 and these guys should nowhere be near where they are right now 132 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,400 and they shouldn't be absolutely not doing what they are doing. 133 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,440 And given, given the current political climate, that has been 134 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,920 a particularly fun watch. I see seeing US three letter 135 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,480 agencies doing things in countries where they're not 136 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,520 supposed to be. So that was another layer that I 137 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,880 really hadn't had in mind when I started watching it. 138 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:43,600 And I just sat there like, OK, so that's what they don't. 139 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,560 I think, I think we're we're both pulling up the same thing 140 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,240 here where I think Denny Villeneuve as the director and 141 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,160 probably the producers and stuff as well had a political opinion. 142 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,400 But what was going on in the film, and I'm not sure the 143 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,200 writer of the film, Taylor Sheridan, shared that opinion. 144 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,880 So you've got something that's on paper kind of a little bit 145 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,760 jingoistic and maybe doesn't necessarily see all of what's 146 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,440 wrong with what's going on. But the film makers, in adapting 147 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,400 it at the screenplay, I've kind of turned on his head a little 148 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,240 bit. And through the character of of 149 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:22,240 Kate, through Emily Blunt, we are seeing the moral depravity 150 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,720 of what's going on. Whereas I think I think my 151 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,200 humble opinion until he showed his mind, the story is actually 152 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,120 just about how Kay is innocent and wide eyed and push your 153 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,000 tails and she gets broken down and sees that she's not ready to 154 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,200 deal with these people. But it's not like a moral 155 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,720 problem. It's just a you've come out this 156 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,480 white woman like like emphasis on the woman coming in here into 157 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,920 this boys game and you have been schooled by all the big hard 158 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,160 boys and you are not ready to you. 159 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,680 You don't play with us werewolves, your sheep. 160 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,640 But actually I think what Denny Villeneuve is saying is this 161 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,480 person has something like a script of A and what is 162 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,880 happening is morally repugnant. And that's how she doesn't fit 163 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,760 in because she can't get on their level. 164 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,320 She's 2 principals. It's not support in the text. 165 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,680 I don't think of the screenplay. But that's the that's the 166 00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:13,880 conflict I'm I'm sensing between like the the friction between 167 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,000 what Denny Villeneuve wants to make as a as a director of film 168 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,480 and what Taylor Sheridan has put on the page as a guy who likes 169 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,040 writing films about cunts. Writing films about cunts is 170 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,320 actually a fantastic line. I'm glad you're the first one to 171 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,200 throw a really bad swear word in the mix tonight. 172 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,040 Mike, thank you so much. Full Sandman. 173 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:35,240 Full sand grip it and RIP it. So I've seen I've just seen now 174 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,840 where till I Sharon referred was the anti walk king of Hollywood 175 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,120 by commentary magazine. And I'm not going to bother 176 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,600 reading this this article because it's big and wasn't I 177 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,640 wasn't paid to read. In fact, I wasn't paid anything 178 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,000 at all for this show. But I think it definitely honest 179 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,080 when like it seems like this film was kind of born out of 180 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,640 partially out of that kind of conflicts between ideologies 181 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,280 that are at work within the people who were making this 182 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,080 because they created like it's created out of has its its its 183 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,720 qualities from the tension and the disconnect between 184 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,920 Villeneuve and between Taylor Sheridan and between some of 185 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,320 just the general vibe, the general story of the film. 186 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,400 It's like, I heard that I haven't seen the sequel because 187 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,600 I, I ain't got time man, Time's money and I've got none. 188 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,920 But I've heard the sequel says essentially kind of Taylor 189 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,720 Sheridan does it again, But this time the three letter agencies 190 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,520 are definitely 100% the good guys, right? 191 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,800 That's yeah, that's pretty much it. 192 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,280 Yeah. So, so in this film is very much 193 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,680 the antagonists, the people, because, because we don't really 194 00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:38,000 get very much interaction with the cartel at all. 195 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,600 So our antagonists, if we're calling Kate, the protagonist is 196 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,240 Josh Gordon's character. I think his name is Matt. 197 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,720 Yeah. And Benicio del Toro's 198 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:46,400 character. Yeah. 199 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,880 Alejandro, Benicio del Toro's character. 200 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,480 And then they are like, on the poster, back-to-back, like a 201 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,280 romantic comedy leads. Yeah. 202 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,520 For for the for the sequel. Like, they. 203 00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:57,800 They're the guys who do no wrong. 204 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,640 But the story is just as murky. They're going into Mexico to 205 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,080 start a war between two cartels to create more. 206 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:08,800 Cool, cool. The the the the Mexican bad guys 207 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,280 in in the film, he could be entirely removed from the film 208 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,600 and he'd still have the conflict between between I said as 209 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:21,280 between Matt Alejandro and and our our heroine, of course, who 210 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,320 you're righteous, like kind of seen as our skill issue. 211 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,280 You're a you're a you're a girl kind of thing. 212 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,520 You're a pussy. But she is like seeing all the 213 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,040 moral horror that I think maybe might not have been in the way 214 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,920 Taylor Sharon wrote it, because then he kind of goes on. 215 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,280 The right can basically rework it with less moral complexity, 216 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:40,960 right? I mean. 217 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,200 Yeah, so exactly, exactly that. And I think if you look at the 218 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,680 rest of Sheridan's output, I like enough to watch it again. 219 00:11:48,680 --> 00:11:52,240 I really liked Helen High Water, which is the film I talked about 220 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,600 a few weeks ago where Chris Pine goes full scumbag mode as a bank 221 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,280 robber. And it's and it's that is 222 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,960 generally a very good film, but it falls into the same trap as 223 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,840 every Taylor Sheridan piece of metre is, which is Tiller showed 224 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,680 and decides ahead of time who his characters are that he 225 00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:13,080 decrees to be the cool people. And then to remind us all that 226 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,040 they're very cool. He will give them like a badass 227 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,720 speech or three regular outputs. And everyone's really loquacious 228 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,400 and everyone's just like really abrasive and everyone's like, 229 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,720 it's horrible people being horrible to other horrible 230 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,120 people, but that they're actually kind of portrayed to 231 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,000 us. They're meant to be like 232 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,600 badasses who are cool and it's aspirational. 233 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,400 So like if you watch like Yellowstone, Yellowstone is a it 234 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,400 is a show about the friggin the best thing that America has 235 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,280 towards like the landed Gentry, right? 236 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,720 It's a giant ranch owner in Montana. 237 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:46,040 The guy's obscenely rich, but we're met a root for John 238 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,640 Dutton. But Kevin Costner's character 239 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,520 and his family, they're all obscenely rich people. 240 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,120 They're all terrible. They can they commit like 3 241 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,080 murders an episode, but women are back them up. 242 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,960 And like his daughter Beth Dutton is like a terrible human 243 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,680 being. But again, women are like back 244 00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:03,880 her up like Oh yeah, she's just like making some horrible speech 245 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,320 about how smart she is and how shit they are. 246 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,200 She's starting fights and all that kind of stuff. 247 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,080 And it's like, yeah, I guess she's really cool. 248 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,600 She's a really good like female role model as a strong 249 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,080 independent woman. And so I can absolutely broke 250 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,560 ass. So it's because I've watched 251 00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:20,200 like three seasons of Yellowstone and like the two 252 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,120 prequel movies. I just realised Sandy's put a 253 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,160 fucking cowboy hat on while I wasn't looking. 254 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,400 Yeah, I didn't. I didn't. 255 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,960 I didn't. I didn't want to say anything 256 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,920 because audio medium straight away, but it's going to work. 257 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,080 Yeah, I was going to work. For those of us doing this 258 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,880 theatre of the mind and not watching the video, Sandy is 259 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,360 just put a fucking cowboy hat on. 260 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,160 I'm going to take someone to the train station. 261 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,480 You look like the you look like the guys in charge of the ranch. 262 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,560 Cole Hauser. Jesus Christ, you're. 263 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,520 Going to get in my oversized lift truck and and put some 264 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,360 bodies into the nearby Canyon. And like, that's and like, right 265 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,720 here's the thing, like. Roughly every 5 minutes per. 266 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,120 Episode yeah, but Yellowstone right, it paints itself as it's 267 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,960 like hard hitting drama. My dad got really into it. 268 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,400 It's like Dad TV if you, if you, yeah, if you peel away the top 269 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:08,840 layer of it, it's a soap opera, right? 270 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,880 It's fucking Dallas. It's not like it's like a hard 271 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,080 hit and drama where we actually get to the core of important 272 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,720 philosophy issues of our time. It's just rich people messing 273 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,600 around and look at the big ranch, look at the mountains. 274 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,840 How cool. It's on Abbey for rednecks. 275 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,520 It's time for rednecks. Yeah, perfect, absolutely ideal. 276 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,240 So that's so I take that is like my entry point to Sicario now. 277 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,440 And I think that's what's the big differences from when I 278 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,680 first watched the movie in 2015, when I was kind of like similar 279 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,600 to like other films that Roger Deakins a shot a bolder vote by 280 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,320 the imagery, bullet by the soundtrack, bullet by the 281 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,680 direction in the editing. And it has to be said, there are 282 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,480 sequences in this film that are electrifying. 283 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,400 Like if you were looking at it as a as a pure like thriller 284 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,280 movie action head. There are some there's some top 285 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,440 tier stuff here. We'll get onto it. 286 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,760 But the border crossing sequence is obviously going to stand the 287 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,160 test of time is like one of the most thrilling short. 288 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,320 Like it's a it's a car chase where normal cars move and it's 289 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,880 and it's a it's fascinating and it's probably like a piece of 290 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,840 like God tier editing that that that pulls that together. 291 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,920 But I'm going to say one more time, any roses movies gets, 292 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,120 they don't belong to Taylor Chariton. 293 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,600 He probably wrote a screenplay that tries his very best to make 294 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,680 this into a bad film. Though what's really funny is 295 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,400 that Taylor Sharon has actually gone on record and saying that 296 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,040 the amount of the amount of expositional dialogue you read 297 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,000 for television as an actor causing the form, quote unquote, 298 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,400 an allergy to exposition in his writing, it doesn't sound like 299 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,200 it has it. And bullshit on that. 300 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,160 One bit of trivia I did read about this movie was that Denny 301 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,320 Villeneuve and Benicio Del Toro were together removed about 90% 302 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,760 of Alejandro's dialogue because most of it was exposition that 303 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,080 the root of the mystery of the character. 304 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,640 It really does work very well because Kitty, I can imagine 305 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,160 right in the first script before, before Denny Villeneuve 306 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,120 got the knives out for it. I've been a hello, my name is 307 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,880 Alejandro. I used to be a lawyer. 308 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,680 The cartels cut my wife's head off and throw my daughter in a 309 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,960 VAT of acid. And it's like that revelation is 310 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,120 powerful when it comes at the end of the film. 311 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,120 But you can just you can just tell the revelation would have 312 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:09,960 been much earlier, like probably, probably on that 313 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:10,880 private plane. When? 314 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:11,520 When? Exactly. 315 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,240 I was thinking you'd be like she, she would have been like, 316 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,720 what's your specialty? And then he would have been 317 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,080 like, you've heard of a melanin, A Medellin. 318 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,920 And it's like, it's a, it's a guy who brings order out of the 319 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,880 chaos. And she'd be like, you're not 320 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,600 American, are you? And he'd go, no, I'm Colombian. 321 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,400 And then. And then I'd be like, all right, 322 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,680 fuck me, yeah. Yeah, and then he'd like and 323 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,000 look, here is my daughter, and here's another picture of her 324 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,360 going into the VAT of acid. He has, he has, he has, he has, 325 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,680 he has LiveLeak. He has a video of my wife being 326 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,400 decapitated by the cartels. So rather the point the podcast 327 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,400 already I'm angry about something that hasn't happened, 328 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,440 which is invalidating my previous argument, which is 329 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,080 perfectly justified. Yeah, so we're just going to sit 330 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,040 here making up a guy to get angry at? 331 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,320 Yeah, right. Plot synopsis. 332 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,840 Yes, there are images from this one I want to talk about. 333 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,280 And to do that, we have to get through our meat and potatoes in 334 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,760 Chandler, AZ. FBI Special Agents Kate Mesa and 335 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,319 that's Emily Blunt and Reggie Wayne that's Daniel Kalua leads 336 00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:15,160 a raid on a Sonora cartel safe house where they discovered 337 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,079 dozens of decaying corpses hidden in the walls outside an 338 00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:22,280 explosive booby trap kills 2 police officers and then 339 00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:24,960 following the raid Kate is recommended for and joins a 340 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,359 joint task force overseen by spoiler spoiler spoiler we'll 341 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,640 stop there. So I think believe that in 342 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:36,080 having read exactly 2 screen writing books, but your opening 343 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,480 image of your movie and your closing image of your movie 344 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,800 should be in conversation with each other. 345 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,280 And we'll cover that when we get to it. 346 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,680 But the opening images movie is like a shot of residential 347 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:50,520 suburb outside of Chandler, AZ It little boxes on the hillside, 348 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,600 little boxes made of tiki tack and cresting, cresting. 349 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,160 The cresting the hill is like a bunch of tactical FBI agents all 350 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,280 wearing their tactical gear carrying rifles or whatever 351 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,360 they're cut. Yeah, that's rifles. 352 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,560 And as they swarm over and enter this, this residential 353 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,400 neighbourhood, organised assaults by a bunch of people 354 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,760 working as a team, all wearing their rig, all carrying their 355 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,000 weapons and their protection.

There's there's one scene when a 378 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:27,440 guy adjusts his headphone Mike and like not so there's one bit 379 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:28,680 of a guy who just has had from Megan. 380 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,440 That's the only real kind of like extraneous movement you see 381 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,480 from them. It's like a very, very precise 382 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:35,320 team. I like it. 383 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,640 Yeah, there is there is one kill in the house and it is a quote 384 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,640 UN quote good kill in police terminology. 385 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,200 The guy opens fire first is is taken out in the return fire. 386 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,200 So, so far, everything happening probably legally in compliant, 387 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,040 whatever, whatever our way they have. 388 00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:53,280 Then, as I said, after that immediate kill, they discovered 389 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:58,080 that this house is like some giant drywall mausoleum for lots 390 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,600 and lots of bodies. It's posited that they may have 391 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,120 been legal immigrants who were kidnapped victims. 392 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:04,960 Yeah, kidnapped, kidnapped victims. 393 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,960 Because she's part of kidnapped task task force, isn't she? 394 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,280 But they're saying it might have been immigrants who were held as 395 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:12,920 ransom, but then the ransom wasn't paid, so they killed. 396 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,320 Them all, yeah, yeah. Then there's, there's the, 397 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,120 there's an outhouse, isn't there? 398 00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:22,320 And some local police say that there's, there's, there's like a 399 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,360 trapdoor. And of course the guards got 400 00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:27,520 some bolt cutters out and then there was a very large bomb 401 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,560 beneath that trapdoor and holy shit. 402 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,800 Yeah, chaos. Yeah, you see the guy's brain, 403 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:38,120 man. Yeah, Pink Miss, because I had 404 00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:39,440 to. Pause it and go back. 405 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,800 I was watching it with Emma last night and I was like, I, I think 406 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,160 you see that guy's brain through his skull, you know, And then I 407 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,200 paused and I kicked it back. And as the cops said, crawling 408 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,120 away like, like, you see that shot of like that, like 409 00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:52,040 dismember hand. Yeah, the camera pans up through 410 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,960 the dust and that cops on his hands, knees. 411 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,080 And yet see as as skull cracked open and it's fucking brains 412 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,800 visible. And it's like, holy shit, man. 413 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,960 This film states its intent as far as its depictions of 414 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,400 violence right into open beats. Let me get to our first kind of 415 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,320 important scene. I mentioned earlier on that I 416 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,440 didn't think there was enough evidence in the storyline to 417 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,880 justify the comment in the news, the Wikipedia summary that that 418 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:20,480 Kate is a principles FBI agent. So what we see is clearly a high 419 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,560 level meeting is taking place probably between here like 2 up 420 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,880 and this delegation that is ostensibly security advisors 421 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,200 from the Department of human security. 422 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,960 That's that's kind of the initial layout of it outside of 423 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,240 the meeting room behind like glass soundproof whatever is 424 00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:39,640 Kate and Reggie and they are talking about themselves going 425 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:40,720 like, what's this mean about don't know? 426 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,640 Do you know what's about? Don't know who those guys don't 427 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,320 know. They look inside the room at 428 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,440 all. So it's boxed in glass office so 429 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,400 they can see that side of the around the table is Josh Brolin. 430 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,240 He's wearing some like flip flops with these chinos in his 431 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,040 shirt. So like, who is this guy? 432 00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,240 Anyone who's seen a filler movie, fans of this podcast 433 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,960 would immediately clock that as going he works for the company 434 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,240 because he looks like someone who worked for the company did 435 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,920 in Vietnam. Yeah. 436 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,640 And in every movie ever, right? So that's a good visual hand. 437 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:16,320 Big, big Air America energy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 438 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,240 He's he's riding a he's wearing civilian attire on a military 439 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,320 flight with a little shooting zest on, isn't he? 440 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:27,400 Yeah, absolutely. I have to say with with with the 441 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,720 shot, the sandals, right, This isn't going down. 442 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:30,760 We had foot thing. Don't worry. 443 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,640 Remember in Futurama when Doctor Zoidberg first introduced in the 444 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,400 like Doctor Zoidberg, he's weird. 445 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,880 He wears sandals and I consumed instead of a shot of a sandals 446 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,080 that pads out, which shows us these is this gigantic 447 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,160 lobstrosity floppy pink dog, that thing. 448 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,280 And it's like, that's fucking comedy time right there. 449 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,280 But it's like, yeah, so an establishment shot of sandaled 450 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,640 feat will never not be funny for me because it's just like, you 451 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:59,160 know, yeah. Let me then we go inside the 452 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,960 office and we hear that we heard the discussion. 453 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,160 And again, like, what really hit me this time watching the movie 454 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,920 is how quickly they are trying to establish who of these two 455 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,920 agents would be the most permissive to whatever nefarious 456 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,120 shit they're going to do. Because they're asking about 457 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:22,240 Reggie and his family situation and what his background is 458 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,120 career wise. As soon as they hear that he has 459 00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:25,880 a degree in law, they're like, yeah, not interested. 460 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,440 Yeah, fuck that shit. Basically. 461 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,520 Yeah, exactly. And then they bring, they bring 462 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,080 Kade and they only ask her like very service level. 463 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,480 They're like they don't ask about any of her professional 464 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:36,880 background. They've already been pre briefed 465 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,040 that she's just been like tactical the entire time, hasn't 466 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:40,600 worked any cases. So yeah. 467 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:41,960 They're referred to her as the thumb. 468 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,360 I don't there. That's right. 469 00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:44,920 So her intellect is much required. 470 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,240 Foreshadowing for Dune? Yeah, I love it. 471 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,720 And then they bring her in and they confirm that she is 472 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,200 divorced and has no kids. And therefore, I guess the the 473 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,720 mental maths that I'm assuming is going on in Josh Brolin's 474 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,600 mind as, what's his name, Matt? Is it Matt Graver? 475 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,160 Yeah. What's going through his mind is 476 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,840 if I get this person killed, I'm not orphaning any children. 477 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,480 And this person has probably not got the intellect or the acumen 478 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,800 to make problems for me. That's, that's what I'm taking 479 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,600 from that this person is probably a bit of a loser. 480 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,840 This person hasn't worked any cases, therefore hasn't got an 481 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,280 investigative mind, or at least it hasn't been trialled. 482 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,640 And if they die, they, they can die. 483 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,760 That's that's that's kind of what I got from that. 484 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,720 Yeah, the the kind of expositional dialogue says, 485 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,280 doesn't it, that which is what they're referring to. 486 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,200 It was a thumb and she's basically just like doing like 487 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,160 tactical operations. She's like a lead on hostage 488 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,560 rescue, but she's not part of the FBI CHRT. 489 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,400 She's like she's like local FBI really good tactical operator is 490 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,280 she's SH, she's not Clarice Stalin. 491 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,520 You know, she's she's not fucking Dana Scully. 492 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,920 She's she's not going to cause him too many problems by 493 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,600 investigating them and over saying them. 494 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,200 She's just that be a signature on a document that says that 495 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,240 that other free letter agency can work with her attached, you 496 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:00,160 know? Exactly. 497 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,000 And the fact that they don't even explain who he is or what 498 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,640 the other agency is, and she doesn't even have the presence 499 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,840 of minds to ask. Yeah. 500 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,120 Or the gumption to ask. You know, she's thinking about 501 00:25:10,120 --> 00:25:12,080 it. Instead, her boss kind of says 502 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,560 it kind of gives her like a point of no return, the warning 503 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,360 that you'd get in a video game before you went to the final 504 00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:19,200 boss. It's like, you have to volunteer 505 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,200 for this. Think very carefully before you 506 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,840 volunteer for this. You will be joining these guys. 507 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:25,840 And she asks, like, what a job would be. 508 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,480 And then he says something that must have struck her as being 509 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,040 bullshit because he says, like, you will be tactical liaison 510 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,800 because you've experienced in tactical OPS. 511 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:40,760 And it's like really, really you local FBI you've you've done a 512 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,080 few room clearances in like domestic settings. 513 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,720 We could we swat team. Why? 514 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,880 Why you and not like I don't know anyone from Delta Force. 515 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,560 Yeah, or even someone from the FBI's actual HRT, the House of 516 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,240 Transcript team, you know? Right, exactly. 517 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,200 Yeah, So and then she gets asked the question. 518 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,600 Brolin kind of says how would you like to make a difference, a 519 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,360 real difference, get the people who are really responsible for 520 00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:06,240 today.

There's actually nothing in the 524 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,120 text really at this minute to say that she's super principled. 525 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,200 It's just that she's a cop and she saw other cops get killed 526 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,240 today. Yeah. 527 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,840 Is this just? Is this not just revenge? 528 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,760 Yeah, it's not like she's not on like a crusade issue. 529 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,400 She's just seen a bunch of people get turned in a pink 530 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,400 fucking mist. Just just seen a guy crawl 531 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,080 around with a hole in the skull and his brain visible. 532 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,440 Spoiler, probably not an injury compatible with life in the long 533 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,680 term. So she's had a very, very bad 534 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,040 one. And now she's been voluntled to 535 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,920 volunteer to do this. And it's like, yeah. 536 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,880 So I don't think it's through principles. 537 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,520 I think it's because it's kind of kind of shock of contact with 538 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,280 what's happened. Jump in and she's like, well, 539 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,400 fucking OK I guess you know? I don't we we don't get to 540 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,960 anchor ourselves on what she is at the beginning of the movie to 541 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,720 make a comparison with who she's at the end of the film. 542 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:05,040 We can see changes happening from the beginning stage to the 543 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,360 end state, but we don't get like the like the save the cat. 544 00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:14,920 We don't get like the character beat that tells us who she is. 545 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,840 Yeah, we, you, you really just get a sort of her her 546 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,360 characters. I am uncomfortable. 547 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,760 That's it. You can sort of see the courts 548 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,840 will spike more and more throughout the film, but but 549 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,960 that's pretty much it. Yeah, definitely called as all 550 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,120 Spikes mentioned that That's that's obvious. 551 00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:35,880 But that's absolutely spot on. I will say that. 552 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,520 But do see some grave principles and some of the grades like 553 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,400 beliefs and morals come out in a letter, especially with the bank 554 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,040 when she punched puts herself into the bank because she wants 555 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,080 to investigate and therefore brings down some worse stuff on 556 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,640 her. But yeah, like I I agree that 557 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,320 listener on the blurb is a principled FBI agent actually 558 00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:57,200 sells the character short because it's it's more complex. 559 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,240 There's more going on with her. There's more going on with her. 560 00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:02,000 She's she's a difficult character necessarily get a 561 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,480 handle on, I think. I think she's actually like 562 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,560 shockingly naive to put herself into this position to begin 563 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:09,840 with. She doesn't, she doesn't 564 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,960 interrogate it very harsh at all. 565 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:16,640 She kind of just like is quite amenable to being in it very 566 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,040 like results driven, I guess, like can I get to these cartel 567 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:21,960 guys? Yes, cool, I'll sign up then 568 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,880 whatever. And I don't even think that 569 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,600 she's clocked that the the role they've given is like bogus. 570 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,240 She hasn't had like she asks in the meeting like what's the 571 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,280 objective? And the objective is like to 572 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:35,560 like. Second, we're. 573 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,840 Going to get the. Cause cause causing of chaos 574 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,000 right on of the because they're going to go and they're going to 575 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,200 get that that guy back over and it's going to cause chaos and. 576 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:48,520 Yeah, so the cousin of the cop, the snore cartel boss, is going 577 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,320 to get pinched from, I guess he's held in Mexican federal 578 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,040 custody. They're going to transfer him 579 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,720 from a Mexican prison. That's it. 580 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,440 They're going to transfer him back over the border and then 581 00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,440 conduct again. She's enough to know about this 582 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:00,880 and they don't tell her, but they're obviously going to 583 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,000 conduct some kind of illegal rendition on him to either find 584 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,560 stuff out or just cause trouble. So she flies down, but she 585 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,160 travels down to Luke Air Force Base and then flies down to the 586 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:17,480 Mexican US border in Texas. Yeah, the absolutely just like 587 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,040 fucking Marga poor partner off don't there, Daniel. 588 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,120 They're just, they're just making like fucking turn round 589 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,320 and park up there and it's like, Jesus Christ. 590 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,160 Yeah, right there. Yeah. 591 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,240 So they fly down. We have the sequence which is on 592 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,000 the private jet. Yeah. 593 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,720 We see again Josh Brolin's kind of character established. 594 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,200 So he gets a bit of character establishing. 595 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,120 We see him like flip flops fall off. 596 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,560 He's he falls asleep straight away, isn't interested in 597 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,080 briefing, shows her new respects, has no interest, has 598 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,520 no interest in who she is. It's quite happy just to fall 599 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,040 asleep in her presence. Like don't care. 600 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,240 Similarly, we see Alejandro board the jet. 601 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,280 She assumes that he's American and works for an American free 602 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,640 agency and he doesn't disabuse you of that notion straight 603 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,360 away. But again, he's pretty like 604 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,600 iconic as well and isn't particularly interested in 605 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,480 talking to her too much. It does say you remind me of 606 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,240 somebody, which is paid off later in the movie. 607 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,840 That's about it. Yeah, yeah, I think, I think 608 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,040 that might be one of the few things of Taylor Sheridan's big 609 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,520 expositional dialogue that still survives. 610 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,400 I would love to see the original screenplay. 611 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,320 Yeah, I, I ordinarily would make a look for it, but I think I've 612 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,960 not achieved it this time indeed. 613 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,120 I'm too much like he gots out like a fucking like flip chart 614 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,600 and a PowerPoint or maybe like a little video camera. 615 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,560 I said, do you see? Do you see this is my wife? 616 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,760 Do you see this is her transformed into a cartel murder 617 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:43,720 victim? Do you see? 618 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,520 This is this is me passing the bar. 619 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,400 Do you see This is me winning my first case? 620 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,200 I was going to see like shows like a super cut of like all the 621 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,120 cases he would against the cartels. 622 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,720 And there's like a slow motion, a video of him that like he 623 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,880 filmed himself as he's going home and seeing his wife and 624 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,160 daughter actually did it every day. 625 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,280 But this time it turns out wrong and and drops to the ground. 626 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,160 And yeah, it's. Brief keys, wrist case drops out 627 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,880 his hand. Yeah, we're getting into it. 628 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,400 There's a there's a mission brief that takes place. 629 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,480 We get a bit of an introduction to like who is in this 630 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,400 operation? There are Delta Force there, 631 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,760 there are US Marshals. Everyone is tooled up. 632 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,560 Everyone has long beards. No one's wearing regulation 633 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,200 military tyre. Therefore everyone is an SF 634 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,400 operator, surely. And she looks around, she clocks 635 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,880 all and she has, she must have the moment where she goes. 636 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,440 I am not the tactical liaison expert. 637 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,520 Yeah, I am just a guy with a badge. 638 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,360 And she still doesn't put it together yet. 639 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,880 That's what really annoys me is that she see her having the 640 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,920 thought process and she knows something's hinky, but she 641 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,880 doesn't. We don't get like the thought 642 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,400 that she's had completed for like another hour and then we 643 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,880 are off to the races. And what is one of the standard 644 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,760 sequences of the film and probably the Kappa of act one, 645 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:04,800 which is the mission to collect this guy actually like Diaz's 646 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,360 brother from Ciudad Juarez. So they cross the El Paso de 647 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,640 Juarez border. Fascinating sequence. 648 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,400 I want to I want to slow it down for a minute and and talk about 649 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,080 what's going on in the cars on this convoy crossover. 650 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,600 So driving the vehicle that contains Brolin and Kate. 651 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,840 Emily Blunt is Jeffrey Donovan was a character called Steve 652 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,840 Forson. He's the speckled guy with the 653 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:26,840 moustache. Yeah. 654 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,280 Who's driving the car? And as a convoy is moving 655 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:35,040 through Juarez, they pass like a big highway overpass and from it 656 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,040 is hanging like 4 dead bodies that have been mutilated. 657 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:42,120 It's beyond recognition. And Kate sees it has like a 658 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,200 visceral gut reaction. This is the first time seeing 659 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,800 such atrocities out in the wild. Probably very traumatic. 660 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,760 I mean, it's the same week she saw those bodies in that house, 661 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,520 right? And then this guy, Steve 662 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,160 Forcing, who is obviously part of the CIA, starts saying it's 663 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,920 brilliant what they do. It's brilliant what they do. 664 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,480 Like they they make it so that they cut these people up beyond 665 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,920 recognition, so that anyone looking at them assumes that 666 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,560 they're involved, that they've done like heinous things to 667 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,000 deserve this treatment. It's brilliant what they do. 668 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,000 That's what he says. Pretty grim for representatives 669 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,840 of the US government to be showing such admiration of this 670 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,840 butchery, right? Absolutely. 671 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,680 I mean, also was like as as I think some of his first dialogue 672 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,120 with matters when he's saying that dead burns when I pay, you 673 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,160 know, he's he's got himself a social disease on his on his 674 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,160 last jaunt wherever he was, you know. 675 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,640 Yeah. Yeah, he's not presenting 676 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:40,360 himself as a overseas crusader for for American justice, is he? 677 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,000 It's not like it's not true of justice in the American ways. 678 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,320 It's it's like pretty, pretty rich in imperialism. 679 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,760 It's not it's not a social film about where it's going with this 680 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,360 stuff. My worry is that this is from 681 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,920 Taylor Sheridan's scripts and he doesn't see a problem with it. 682 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,560 That's just like I get the impression that he maybe thinks 683 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,640 it's like, this is the way the world and I'm and I'm just 684 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,640 making you guys wake up to the reality of the situation. 685 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,199 What this film doesn't do is doesn't interrogate the cartels 686 00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:09,480 at all. This could be taking place on 687 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,320 freaking Mars, right? I should say there's a there's a 688 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:18,440 counter narrative that is a very loose mirror for Kate and a 689 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,080 Mexican police officer called Silvio. 690 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,400 Yeah. So, so we see another like 691 00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:25,600 equivalent, like, I mean, they're not totally because 692 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:26,880 she's the FBI. He's a beat cop. 693 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,880 But you have like, you know, standard law enforcement, bottom 694 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,639 of the totem pool during these events. 695 00:34:32,639 --> 00:34:35,040 One from the Mexican cartel side, one from the American law 696 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,800 enforcement side. And they're meant to they're 697 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,159 meant to kind of rhyme, right. That as far as skills, though, 698 00:34:39,159 --> 00:34:42,040 in terms of like getting to the heart of the issues like that 699 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,360 Sylvio, Sylvio son. So he doesn't want to touch the, 700 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,400 his dad's shotgun. He doesn't want him to, you 701 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,040 know, but then he goes and plays soccer in the street and he 702 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,760 hears the gunfire in the background and it's like 703 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,920 inevitable that he's going to take up that life at some point, 704 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,960 which is just kind of a bit lazy. 705 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,880 So we carry on with the the the convoy to pick up the guy from 706 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,840 the courthouse. And there's a bit of like 707 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,720 tension when all the vehicles are static next to the 708 00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:11,200 courthouse. Alejandro reminds them casually. 709 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,120 Like if it's going to happen, it won't happen here. 710 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:17,640 It'll happen at the border. I like that the very beginning 711 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,920 of the sequence we got like a nice overhead shot. 712 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,960 There's a lot of drone footage in this one before it was like, 713 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,080 but before it was a thing and it was like it was still exciting 714 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:27,280 and I don't I haven't seen it done any. 715 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,480 I don't really see apart from the movie Ambulance, I've not 716 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,800 seen drone footage done an exciting different way besides. 717 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:37,880 This thing as well, you know, when when the when the private 718 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,640 plane like the the project takes off and you say, well, that 719 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,000 obviously birds out view footage. 720 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:43,920 The shadow of the plane is there. 721 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,560 So I wonder if it's drone footage with the shadow added in 722 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,280 post. It probably would be wouldn't 723 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,240 it, whether it's general like kind of stability or would it be 724 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:56,360 shot from an actual plane? I mean, how, how, how, how hard 725 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,640 was Dennis Villeneuve going to go on this? 726 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,680 Tony Villeneuve is a It goes incredibly hard. 727 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,960 I mean, you think build a new fucking border crossing the 728 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,600 filming so yeah. Yeah, if you look at like, even 729 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:11,080 his smaller budget movies like Enemy has an incredible effect 730 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:15,440 shot involving as well as a giant spider, you wouldn't see 731 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:16,440 it coming. If you've seen the movie. 732 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,680 It's also got Jake Gyllenhaal and Jake Gyllenhaal as twins. 733 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,960 Yeah, man, that sounds so good. Yeah, man, that. 734 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,720 Sounds so good. Yeah, if you think about the 735 00:36:26,720 --> 00:36:30,680 effect shots that he's then gone to apply in Arrival in June, 736 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:36,320 June Part 2, like there's no one making like these grace big 737 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:41,360 blockbuster action sequences in such like a believable way that 738 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,320 he's doing. If you look at like the Marvel 739 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:47,320 kind of sloppots pumping out at an insane rate and like the 740 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,200 effect shots on them, a lot of them are fine. 741 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:50,920 So they're not like mind blowing. 742 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,160 And then if you look at like think of June 2021, the sequence 743 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,240 where they're they're under the ambush from the Harkins and they 744 00:36:57,240 --> 00:37:00,080 run out and all their all their gunships are all just getting 745 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,520 blown up in front of them in the in the night sky and it's 746 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,520 lighting everything up. That's incredible. 747 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:05,400 Man. That looks so good. 748 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,800 Yeah. So I wouldn't be surprised if 749 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,720 that's a very simple, I see a very simple, obviously very, 750 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:15,960 very difficult to do putting up a shadow on to to lend it like 751 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:20,160 weight and physicality. Cool, I was going to say sorry, 752 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,520 you mentioned it. They they created a new border 753 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:23,760 crossing for the purpose of the movie. 754 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:28,680 You get you get the incredible setup, which is the US to Mexico 755 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,600 crossing is completely cleared out and they zip through new 756 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,680 issues. You see early foreshadowing of 757 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,760 the incredible tailback on the Mexico to to US side and they 758 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,200 haven't and they haven't even bothered to like close a lane or 759 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,520 anything. They they just left it to be the 760 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,880 complete cluster fact that it's going to be in a bit. 761 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,440 I I'm amazed that they just and I don't know if there's a is 762 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,920 there a commentary there? Is there like a bit of a bit? 763 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:55,280 Yeah, on on the return the sea something along lines of the 764 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,600 waving vehicles through to to kind of clear up space. 765 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,440 And but then when you see when the returning with the guy that 766 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,320 taken from the courthouse heading back to the border and 767 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,600 you start to see the drone footage, you see there's been a 768 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,720 breakdown. There's a vehicle pulled over 769 00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:13,640 kind of kind of a crooked to one side with steam coming up from 770 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,160 its from its bonnets. So there's been something broken 771 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,400 down and that's kind of caused like a bit of a bit of a hitch 772 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,240 in it. So that's why the the run into 773 00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:24,000 this problem, you know? Yeah, I thought it had a bit of 774 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,960 a sense of like complacency about it, like American kind of 775 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,480 complacency. Like we don't give a fuck. 776 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,520 We'll we'll do it. We're going to prepare because 777 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,680 we've got unlimited resources to throw everything. 778 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,280 Who cares? That's that's kind of vibe I 779 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:36,360 got. Like if you've got a shit sort 780 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,320 of material, why bother preparing and closing a lane in 781 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:40,720 preparation for and stuff? We'll be fine. 782 00:38:40,720 --> 00:38:44,600 We'll just bowl on through. Like it's arrogant is what it 783 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,920 is. Anyway, so they get to the 784 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,120 crossing. The crossing is a gridlock. 785 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:53,000 And then we have this like amazing tense moment where we 786 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,640 are, it's like we're in the car, we're looking at all the other 787 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,200 cars and we're picking up the same things. 788 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,120 There's like all the cars with all guys in them. 789 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,640 The cars with guys were all heavily tattooed, the guys. 790 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,120 Is that smuggling a weapon there? 791 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,560 And and like the confirming the ROA at that point, like it's 792 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,480 like looking like kind of kind of like the the governed by at 793 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,240 least some kind of rules, you know, the ROA. 794 00:39:14,240 --> 00:39:17,200 It's like you don't fire unless you fired a pawn kind of thing. 795 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,160 And again, this film does tension really well. 796 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,440 This film is essentially one massive gigantic tension ritual. 797 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,920 Yeah, and the tension of of this scene is absolutely amazing. 798 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,440 I'll probably pop off about later as well when I talk about 799 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,640 weapons handling and stuff in the film because I've got a lot 800 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,720 of research about guns and shit in this movie. 801 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,560 I will go. Incredibly good. 802 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,840 I will go too deep into it. Then I will say there's a 803 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:43,280 narrative economy or a narrative effect applied by them having 804 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,320 that are we discussion well in situ in the scene. 805 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:49,240 So I kind of, I get, I get it because it, you know, it's, it 806 00:39:49,240 --> 00:39:51,240 brings more attention because it's like, oh, they're talking 807 00:39:51,240 --> 00:39:52,800 about what happens when they start shooting. 808 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:53,960 There's going to be some shooting. 809 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:55,960 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that. 810 00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,200 Obviously there would be like a reminder of the ROA. 811 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,200 Someone probably wouldn't ask the question, but someone else 812 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:03,720 would. Oh, maybe they would if they 813 00:40:03,720 --> 00:40:04,400 weren't sure. Yeah. 814 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:05,960 This kind of stuff happens. Yeah. 815 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,400 It's interesting that we never get the ROA briefed in the 816 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,040 actual mission brief prior. Yeah, that's right. 817 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,520 And later in the film, there's another similar situation where 818 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,960 there's a detailed mission brief happening and there is no, are 819 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,080 we briefed during that? And the subjects were always 820 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:23,960 broached and then waves off during that. 821 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,120 Yeah, 'cause quality of briefings in this film are 822 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,520 diabolical. Yeah. 823 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,520 Really bad briefings. As a guy who goes around 824 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,640 assessing people's mission briefs for for a living. 825 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,920 Really really bad briefs. All these feeling bossed, all 826 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,560 these guys are going to feel bossed, Mike. 827 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:44,080 Yeah, yeah, not not my Walker who just probably gets on my 828 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,160 Walker with hair like that hair like a party. 829 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:50,280 You can don't do that anymore. The hair regulations have 830 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:51,640 completely opened up. It's ridiculous. 831 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,920 Anyway you. Guys are getting hair to 832 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,440 regulate. But yeah, so it's just an 833 00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,400 incredible, becomes an amazing and amazing shootout scene. 834 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:07,280 You just say again, fantastic violence of action, weapons 835 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,280 handling. It's it's exciting, it's 836 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:14,200 thrilling. And it ends with a Benicio Del 837 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:20,160 Toro doing the masculine urge to sit open boot of a hatchback and 838 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:21,760 be exfiltrated as it drives away. 839 00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:25,840 Yeah, go, go, go. Just like stand in the boot with 840 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,680 your legs hanging out when you fucking MP5. 841 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:32,800 Like yeah, dreams are made of. Brilliant. 842 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,960 I love it. There's a payoff to it's 843 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,840 something from Alejandra as well, who you mentions to Kate 844 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,440 as doing the approach that you can't always trust the state 845 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,840 police. And then lo behold, when the 846 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,960 ambush takes place, the low level cartel hitmen are 847 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,400 dispatched pretty quickly between the combined CIA, 848 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:54,840 whoever else there but spying in the rearview mirror of the car. 849 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:59,320 Kate spots a federal agent like point his gun at her head and 850 00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,160 she has to turn and shoot the guy for the window and kills a 851 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,000 guy and she has a pretty good visceral reaction. 852 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,680 She like, shoots him and drops an F bomb. 853 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,320 She's like, what the fuck? What are we doing here? 854 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,360 Good concern, Kate, Very good concern. 855 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,560 Situational awareness. Great. 856 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,280 Yeah, absolutely. I would say good question, well 857 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,120 asked. Probably raise it at a more 858 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,000 appropriate time after this is all over. 859 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,720 But yeah, she she does that kills, kills a federal police 860 00:42:21,720 --> 00:42:24,680 officer in self defence is a visibly horrified. 861 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,720 And then they return to the US, where Alejandro and Matt have 862 00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:32,080 this guy Gelmo in a little torchy dark room of rendition. 863 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,320 This point, the narrative spinters off a little bit. 864 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,040 So the film could have followed Kate the hallway. 865 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,280 But we get a bit of an insight into what's going on with this 866 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,600 Guillermo guy. I don't know if he needs it. 867 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:46,160 We're already pretty sure that Matt and Alejandro are doing bad 868 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,760 stuff, right? Yeah. 869 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,600 But but we get it anyway. I mean, what's, what's your take 870 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,160 on it? So we got that like before it 871 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,640 gets into there, the horrific torture sequence. 872 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,880 We do got that bit when that Mexican guy who was either a 873 00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:03,240 Mexican high level law enforcement or someone from like 874 00:43:03,240 --> 00:43:05,840 the legal system with a judge or a prosecutor or something has a 875 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,320 chat with Alejandro. And like Alejandro was very much 876 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,400 like, you'd still want to be in there, man. 877 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,200 Because if you're not in there, you can just see you didn't see 878 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,600 what happened. It's got the big fuck off bottle 879 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,120 of water from from the water dispenser. 880 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:24,360 And it's like it is deeply uncomfortable to say Alejandro 881 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,600 just pushes crotch into the guy's face, right? 882 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,960 Yeah, that's grim. That is, that is really 883 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,320 uncomfortable watching. Yeah, big. 884 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,320 I mean, it's like, again, I don't know if Taylor Sheridan 885 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,120 thought that was cool or not. That's my that's the question 886 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,000 I'm always asking myself watching this film is I know 887 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,360 Danny Villenev doesn't think it's cool. 888 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:42,880 I think I think he knows it's monstrous. 889 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:44,680 Yeah. I think Taylor showed Taylor 890 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:46,400 Sheridan think it's actually genuinely quite cool. 891 00:43:46,720 --> 00:43:49,040 I mean, I don't know much of Taylor Sheridan's work. 892 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:50,160 I'll put my hands up right there. 893 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:54,280 But I mean, yeah, So what? Whether he thinks it's cool or 894 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:59,760 not, the way it's shown in moving pictures and lights and 895 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:03,800 sound, it's fucking horrible. I like to witness. 896 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,720 I like that's only the owners shows sort of restraint here. 897 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,600 A lesser filmmaker would have shown us the water boarding, 898 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,520 right? It's the commit, or at least the 899 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:13,840 commencement of the war boarding. 900 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,880 Water boarding is really frigging horrific and it's awful 901 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,880 awful awful. I'm not even say but afrig as it 902 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,960 is a fucking horrible thing. The film also has more bloody 903 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,400 gore in it and I think that trying like kind of keep like 904 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:30,200 the shock, the visual shock of these horrible gory deaths and 905 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,200 tortures and stuff. And you can just work out when 906 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:34,320 you mind what's happening to him. 907 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,240 Because obviously 2015 at this point, what important is 908 00:44:37,240 --> 00:44:40,520 something that's been in the public, the public eye for quite 909 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,880 some time. It's it's very understood. 910 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,240 This is a really horrendous, surrendous thing. 911 00:44:45,240 --> 00:44:49,680 So the film is leaving it's real shock and fucking awe for the 912 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,000 gruesome brutal violence scenes and like the the family 913 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,840 destruction later on and stuff, you know? 914 00:44:55,720 --> 00:44:59,760 The film is sensibly about. I say about is set against the 915 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,400 backdrop of the war on Drugs, right? 916 00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,280 Yeah. But it's also probably a bit of 917 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:09,360 a commentary on the global War on Terror, I think in the sense 918 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,760 that war polling comes up as a subject something and rendition 919 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,160 comes up as a subject something that was very much in the public 920 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:19,480 conscience, as you say, with, you know, Guantanamo Bay 10:10 921 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:23,120 or so years prior, Abu Ghraib. You know, these are images that 922 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,680 people knew about. So crimes committed by, let's 923 00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,120 say, law enforcement or the military against people with 924 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,680 brown skin is something that we are familiar with. 925 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,760 And I think it's something that's probably not lost on on 926 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,880 the, you know, French Canadian director Denny Villeneuve there. 927 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,200 Picking up like Guillermo and stuff as well, it's the idea 928 00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,760 that like they're trying to create on the trying to create 929 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:49,040 enough tension and unease inside the cartels operating systems 930 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,680 that they're going to have to recall the guy they've got in 931 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:56,440 the states back over. Manuel Diaz, I think his name 932 00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,440 is, Yeah. Yeah, which is why the then kind 933 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,720 of do that operation to to stop, as you know, to stop as kind of 934 00:46:01,720 --> 00:46:04,400 money trained to stop this money laundered thing that's going on 935 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,240 because they know this is what's going to cause the cartel on top 936 00:46:07,240 --> 00:46:10,680 of all this thing to kind of bring them back, you know. 937 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,440 So we chopped, then they've got the fucking stalking horse that 938 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,080 can follow in and then Alejandro can deal with Alejandro does 939 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:18,280 best. Yeah. 940 00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:24,640 So before we make the the shot levester to some, we get a shot 941 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,920 from what's Kate doing at this time and she's hanging around 942 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:28,720 with the rest of them tapping up outside. 943 00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:33,040 One of the large operator guys says, hey, you come with me. 944 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:34,120 I want to show you something cool. 945 00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,760 Yeah, I'd like fireworks. Yeah, you like fireworks. 946 00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,360 And they climb on top of the building and look over the 947 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:43,200 border into Mexico, into Juarez, and they see like the absolute 948 00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,600 chaos that has been brought about by the decapitating the 949 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,520 the head of the local cartel. So she wasn't already horrified 950 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:50,520 by the violence she's seen today. 951 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,720 She's like horrified now that like I've just made like I've 952 00:46:53,720 --> 00:46:55,840 just been part of an operation that has made like war hit the 953 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,680 streets as far as I can see. And it's like trace of fire and 954 00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,000 explosions and like all the little police lights trying to 955 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,160 like swarm around it. It's a, it's a great image, 956 00:47:04,720 --> 00:47:06,120 horrifying, but it's a great image, you know? 957 00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,040 The way the scenes shot as well, they almost like feel that, like 958 00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,600 that kind of like high desert cooled kind of thing in the way 959 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,000 it's shot. Let's say, again, this is 960 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,240 beautifully shot. It's expansive. 961 00:47:18,240 --> 00:47:23,840 Yeah, there's, there's, there's this kind of cool cooled both in 962 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:28,160 demeanour and in temperature feeling to it in, in like the 963 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:33,640 visuals that are presented. And the gunfire is so distant 964 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:37,640 that like you don't feel it, like you don't take it as like a 965 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,080 visceral kind of thing. But you see, this is this is, 966 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:43,000 this is beautiful yet fucking awful because you can understand 967 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,920 what's going on and it's like it's it's so close to civilise 968 00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,960 it to civilization, yet so far we're separated by just to get 969 00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:51,720 arbitrary border and fences and stuff. 970 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:56,280 And like they've they've like kind of set things and happened. 971 00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,160 And now that's sitting back and watching it and it's just 972 00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:02,640 uncanny and eerie at times. It's brilliant. 973 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,840 A moment of calm watching absolute horror unleashed on the 974 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:07,840 streets of the city, basically. They get they get some 975 00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:13,360 incredible images during this. So I often to cry the Netflix 976 00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,320 ifification of films that we see nowadays. 977 00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:20,040 And one of the things I hate the most is the very shallow depth 978 00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:24,440 of fields that has become like in vogue now allows the 979 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:25,520 filmmaker. It's a bit of a crutch that 980 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,480 allows the filmmaker not to worry about too much what's in 981 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,360 the back of the frame because they can just make it blurry. 982 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,200 So you don't have to care too much about what's in the back of 983 00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:35,480 the frame anymore. This film neatly avoids that and 984 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,760 is not afraid to have visual detail in the background as well 985 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:40,920 as the foreground. And in that sequence, there's a 986 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:44,240 beautiful shot where it's wide, they're walking right to left to 987 00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,320 the edge of the roof where they're going to watch the 988 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,760 explosions happening. Incredible sky behind them, like 989 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,720 just just an incredibly beautiful like tumultuous, like 990 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,640 like clouds. It's night, but there's there's 991 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,760 all these beautiful clouds and there's like you can see like a 992 00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,240 storm. You can see literally an actual 993 00:49:00,240 --> 00:49:04,960 storm brewing in them like dark darkened seeds of clouds around 994 00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,320 these billows of white. Just like like a like a like a 995 00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,080 oh man. I don't get like a level English 996 00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,120 about it, but it looks amazing. While we're on some visual 997 00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:14,160 visuals, I want to drop it now because I feel that we have to. 998 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:15,920 Has anyone noticed the costuming of the movie? 999 00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,680 How at the very beginning of the film, after the initial raid, 1000 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:24,240 first time we see her in cities, Kate is wearing a blue T-shirt 1001 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,400 and then as the film progresses on, it'll be turned into a grey 1002 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,640 T-shirt and I'll turn to a pale grey T-shirt by the end. 1003 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,960 You notice that? Yeah, yeah. 1004 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,400 It's like the lifeblood of hers bleeding out and the colour is 1005 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,760 is fading. Just a nice visual touch that 1006 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:40,800 they didn't have to do but they did. 1007 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,720 It looks cool. No, definitely one. 1008 00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:44,840 It's brilliant. She's just been like, worn away 1009 00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:48,080 by the whole thing, you know? Yeah, cool. 1010 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:53,200 So we get to Tucson, AZ, we see the sequence where the amassed 1011 00:49:53,240 --> 00:49:56,520 immigrants have just been sat before they get processed 1012 00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:57,840 further. Pretty grim. 1013 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,240 Um, I think we can all agree. But they find out where these, 1014 00:50:01,240 --> 00:50:03,280 these tunnels are. We also get like, I think it's, 1015 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,600 this isn't the last time you see Reggie because he comes with 1016 00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,200 them on the raid, but we get Reggie trying to throw his 1017 00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:09,720 weight around a little bit to try and get to the boat. 1018 00:50:09,720 --> 00:50:12,080 What's going on? I presume there's a sense of 1019 00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:15,680 self importance that comes from being an agent in the FBI that 1020 00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,760 they assume they are carrying. They are holding some weight 1021 00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:19,560 here. And I don't know how she could 1022 00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,800 have gone through what she went through in Juarez and not 1023 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,600 realised. I'm not, I'm not contributing to 1024 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:28,240 this operation whatsoever. Yeah, man, in a weird kind of 1025 00:50:28,240 --> 00:50:33,440 players a little bit on the kind of trope you get in like a cop 1026 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:37,080 shows and cop movies and stuff, how the FBI are the ones who 1027 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,280 turn up and pissing everyone's chips. 1028 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:41,480 And they're the ones who immediately respected by by 1029 00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,520 like, well, not respected with other ones who immediately 1030 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:47,320 forced themselves to overrule the local beat cops, the local 1031 00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:49,440 city or state accounting agencies and stuff. 1032 00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,800 And here you see a situation when there's always a bigger 1033 00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:59,680 fish, to quote Star Wars and and these FBI guys pale in 1034 00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:03,320 comparison to the other three letter agencies and to the 1035 00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,320 people who are. What is the line? 1036 00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,680 Elected, not appointed. Yeah, that's. 1037 00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:12,840 Well, I mean, it's safe. So what kind of shows the FBI is 1038 00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,640 losing the power and the authority when they've got this 1039 00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:17,720 much government bearing down on them? 1040 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:21,640 You. Know so the sequel explicitly 1041 00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:25,480 goes into those halls of power and Catherine Keener I think 1042 00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:29,760 plays the Secretary of State for defence and has a role in it and 1043 00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,560 yeah yeah so we see like the decisions coming straight from 1044 00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:34,680 the White House to go and sort out Mexico. 1045 00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:39,720 I want to say it, yeah, I I've heard a lot about it. 1046 00:51:39,720 --> 00:51:40,800 I haven't, I haven't watched the movie yet. 1047 00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:44,680 So saving it for a rainy day. So the next thing that happens 1048 00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:48,320 is the task force raids a bank used to launder, launder Diaz's 1049 00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,280 money as a way of like again, causing trouble for Diaz making 1050 00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:53,960 making it his appears in Mexico necessary. 1051 00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,400 As you say, they find financial evidence. 1052 00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,360 They're doing some kind of funky thing where they they're putting 1053 00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,320 tonnes of money into the bank. It's to pay back a loan. 1054 00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:06,200 Therefore the money going in only represents on statements 1055 00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,160 and stuff as a negative balance getting more negative. 1056 00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,880 Therefore it's not like seen by the IRS. 1057 00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,800 It's not seen by, you know, the FBI or anything. 1058 00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:17,200 And he was tracking financial crime. 1059 00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,280 So that's how he's got, that's how he's got away with this so 1060 00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,480 long. It's like $9000 a day or 1061 00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:22,720 something.

And it turned out that all along 1243 01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:43,560 it was a sting operation to track down this one guy. 1244 01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:48,400 And we used Kate as bait or as, as Josh Brolin mansplains to her 1245 01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:52,240 as she used herself as bait by walking in front of a CCTV 1246 01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:54,280 camera. It's it's pretty grim. 1247 01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,000 Yeah. Because Brolin could have 1248 01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,160 fucking stopped all right, I mean Brolin could have stopped 1249 01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:00,600 that going in. He could have put hands on it, 1250 01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:02,640 could have said no, fucking literally don't do this. 1251 01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:04,680 You could have explained it further, but he didn't. 1252 01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:07,320 And then he comes Mansplain and you are like that means man 1253 01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:11,320 explaining and. What's called ascending? 1254 01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:16,880 That's when I talk down to you. People have got to listen really 1255 01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:19,320 fucking close to this episode, so don't get cancelled, all 1256 01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:21,440 right? Yeah, we are. 1257 01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:25,040 We are mocking these people we are not agreeing with with with 1258 01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:26,400 Ship. Yeah, it's fucked up. 1259 01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:28,920 It's fucked up, it's fucked up. And then we we get a great scene 1260 01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:32,520 in, I guess one of their cars with a heavily beaten John Burn 1261 01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:34,560 for the backseat. And then we get what I can only 1262 01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:38,120 describe as the most violent wet Willy I've ever seen from 1263 01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:40,720 Benicio Del Zaro. Just wets it sticks a finger in 1264 01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:43,440 easier to the point where it causes a physical discomfort. 1265 01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:49,720 That's oh man. Like what's he going to do next? 1266 01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:52,000 Like give him a noogie, an atomic wedgie. 1267 01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:54,520 A fucking Chinese bird or something. 1268 01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:58,280 Chinese bird. He's going to, he's uncuffed and 1269 01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,640 take his hands and give him a game of peanuts. 1270 01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:05,520 That's, that's a very British reference to people of our 1271 01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:09,360 particular generation. Sorry, Americans and people from 1272 01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:11,360 other nations that don't have peanuts. 1273 01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:13,680 The game, not peanuts. The food, you've got the food, 1274 01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:15,720 but the game's different. Brilliant. 1275 01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,640 Yeah. So we find out that of course 1276 01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:21,520 John Burn falls very, very junior in the organisation. 1277 01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:23,720 Just a dirty cop got in with his head. 1278 01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:28,520 Josh Brolin threatens the life of his ex-wife by threatening 1279 01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:29,960 the doctor. Yeah. 1280 01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:32,840 And his and his daughter, yeah. Yeah, straight up I'm going to 1281 01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:37,920 post that details on the. Yeah, fucked up, man. 1282 01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:41,840 Yeah, it's like, not even we're going to send the boys round. 1283 01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:44,560 We're just going to like do like a fucking post on like, like 1284 01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:45,920 Fortune or whatever. I'm like. 1285 01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:47,600 Why? Why? 1286 01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,680 I have yet to decide on this film, but I guess it's answered 1287 01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:53,120 by the fact there's a sequel where they're portrayed as the 1288 01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:55,480 good guys. I guess in terms of like writing 1289 01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:59,040 it, they presume that all this, let's call it the squeeze is, is 1290 01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:01,720 worth all the juice, right? They think that they think that 1291 01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:04,520 the writer of this, like Taylor Sheridan, presumably thinks that 1292 01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:07,760 this is, this is just the cost of doing business to fight crime 1293 01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:09,720 against the car cells. It's almost like you got like 1294 01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:11,760 really, really pissed one night. It was like, you know what they 1295 01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:13,800 should do? They should just bring one guy 1296 01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:16,520 from Colombia and they should just topple all the Mexicans and 1297 01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:18,320 have it all be Colombians. And then they should just 1298 01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:20,360 fucking regulate it. But like don't tell people. 1299 01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:21,760 Just have the government regulate. 1300 01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:23,000 Just got to say it to regulate it. 1301 01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:27,320 The old Potomac 2 step Jack. This is the plot of Clear and 1302 01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:32,880 Present Danger all over again. Anyway, sorry I don't know where 1303 01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,480 I came from. It came straight out of Medellin 1304 01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:36,080 baby. Right. 1305 01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:39,160 So what we've learned is the location of a tunnel, what's 1306 01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:40,480 going on with the tunnel and the money. 1307 01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:44,000 We've sufficiently pissed off Manny Diaz that he has to go 1308 01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,560 back to Mexico to talk to his his bosses. 1309 01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:52,400 OK, When Matt reveals to the other two that the Reggie and 1310 01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:54,480 Kate are the only reason that they're involved in this 1311 01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,680 operation whatsoever is to permit the CIA to operate within 1312 01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:00,040 US borders as a legal technicality. 1313 01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:01,480 Was that surprising to you at all? 1314 01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,040 Did it come as a bit of like, Oh my God, it got me? 1315 01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:07,000 Or is it like clearly obvious? We'll see. 1316 01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:10,840 The first time I've watched it, I wasn't aware that that was the 1317 01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:18,560 case because this was, this was before I got, I probably became 1318 01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:25,800 more like kind of defence pilled and global security pilled after 1319 01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:27,320 the first time we saw this film, I guess. 1320 01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,840 So it wasn't like fully, well, the CIA couldn't operate 1321 01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:33,520 domestically. I'm fully of this kind of thing. 1322 01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:35,480 It was, it was a little bit of a surprise, a little bit of an 1323 01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:38,600 interest in the revelation because at that point he knew 1324 01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:40,000 that there was something going on. 1325 01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:43,560 There was something, there was some especially free agency and 1326 01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:49,320 it's not a main bending like, you know, realisation that was 1327 01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:53,600 just that the CIA can operate on the American crown, etcetera. 1328 01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:57,840 Yeah, I guess like the first time I watched that, I probably 1329 01:05:57,840 --> 01:05:59,440 wasn't like tracking that as much as well. 1330 01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:01,400 Yeah. It's weird if you trying to 1331 01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:06,520 remember what it was like the first time I saw it because it 1332 01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:09,000 doesn't really make like a tonne of sense. 1333 01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:12,760 Like they kind of hand wave how she got involved in pretty 1334 01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:14,720 quickly in the story. Like we talked about the scene 1335 01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,200 earlier on about how she's attached to them as a tactical 1336 01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:21,880 liaison. Her output is if I was like her 1337 01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:26,000 employer, you know, her outputs to me is really nebulous. 1338 01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:29,440 Like what what's she producing? They talk a little bit about and 1339 01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:33,520 I think it's later in the movie, like very, very, I say later, 1340 01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,640 like the next scene from this, they talk about how if there's 1341 01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:39,800 any drugs impounded during during the op, the FBI, the ones 1342 01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:42,920 responsible for confiscating it and like that like. 1343 01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:45,560 So yeah, it's pretty, it's pretty narrow remit she has. 1344 01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:47,960 I mean, like, like me, the pretty much teller don't like 1345 01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,240 just stay at the back and keep your safety on kind of thing. 1346 01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:53,720 And it's like. She gets, so she gets a lot of 1347 01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:56,240 there's a lot of misogyny in this film. 1348 01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:59,160 And I'm not going to be like the guy who's man, if people listen 1349 01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,520 to this podcast and they go, oh, it's a woke podcast because this 1350 01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:05,760 guy's talking about misogyny. I mean, Jesus Christ, man. 1351 01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:08,920 Like, I don't know what to tell you. 1352 01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,840 Like like they are, they are showing this like law 1353 01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:14,880 enforcement officer. We're like 0 respect. 1354 01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:16,840 She's like, she's one of them essentially, right. 1355 01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:19,120 Yeah. I mean, the guys saying it to 1356 01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:21,840 her specifically is like some Delta Force operator. 1357 01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:23,000 I get it. Yeah. 1358 01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:26,320 Big swinger take ego the size of a planet because he's fucking SF 1359 01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:27,000 Roach. I get it. 1360 01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:29,520 But but they're still on the same side. 1361 01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:31,600 Yeah. There's like no sense of team 1362 01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:34,240 like cohesion there at all. You'd think the US government 1363 01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:37,400 could just like create the sign off, could just fake it. 1364 01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:40,480 You know, he has, he has a random signature kind of thing. 1365 01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:42,400 It's like. It's almost a bit naive this 1366 01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:43,440 film now. But I mean like. 1367 01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:46,560 In the current context, if you, if you put it against the 1368 01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:50,600 backdrop of like, you know, Trump kidnapping the fucking 1369 01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:55,440 dictator in charge of Venezuela, you know, like unilateral 1370 01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:57,520 bullshit happening, I don't think he cares what side of the 1371 01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:59,480 border what's going on. No, I don't. 1372 01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:01,800 I don't. I don't think he, they're at the 1373 01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:04,840 point now where they are not even attempting to lie because 1374 01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:06,200 there's no one to hold them accountable. 1375 01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:10,640 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fucking most crooked DOJ ever, 1376 01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:13,040 it would seem. Yeah. 1377 01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:19,319 OK, so we have a mission brief about these these these these 1378 01:08:19,319 --> 01:08:21,359 tunnels. They're getting some humid from 1379 01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:24,160 a from a local asset during the mission brief. 1380 01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,560 Again, movie stuff, isn't it? That all happened well 1381 01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:30,640 beforehand. They have that thing where they 1382 01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:33,479 talk about our way and then they push it off later. 1383 01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:36,359 Again, effective for a movie would happen in real life, I 1384 01:08:36,359 --> 01:08:41,200 don't think. And then we get like the next, 1385 01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:46,319 the final sort of big set piece, if you like, which is this route 1386 01:08:46,319 --> 01:08:49,600 in the toes. I love the sequence. 1387 01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:52,399 It looks incredible it. Really does, yeah. 1388 01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:56,399 I want to get a second to shout out the use of their image 1389 01:08:56,399 --> 01:08:59,319 enhancers as part of like the visual language of the sequence. 1390 01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:03,439 We get like IR camera feed from like one guy looking at Kate. 1391 01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:07,279 So we see Kate in her face and everything IR very cool. 1392 01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:10,840 They they swap over to MVGS and we check them. 1393 01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:13,160 Yeah. Tooting off, put the MVG on. 1394 01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:16,840 We see the MVG query. I don't know how they achieved 1395 01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,439 it in the movie. I don't know if either of you 1396 01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:22,720 guys have worn MVG before, but there's a really weird. 1397 01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:25,640 The only thing I can think of is it's a bit like, you know when 1398 01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:28,560 you play an FPS game and you open up the console and you can 1399 01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:30,040 change what the field of vision is. 1400 01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:34,120 There's like, it's like on a different setting than real life 1401 01:09:35,279 --> 01:09:36,800 when you look for MVGS. It's weird. 1402 01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:40,560 I think that the best way to explain it is like feels like if 1403 01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:45,279 you're standing sort of half a metre behind yourself. 1404 01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:47,640 Yeah, that's it. Yeah, perfect. 1405 01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:52,240 So the ask, ask what's the ROA rules of engagement for people 1406 01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:55,160 who don't know? And Josh Brolin's character Matt 1407 01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:59,120 says weapons free, my friend. Weapons free. 1408 01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:00,880 Right. First of all, that's not how you 1409 01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:03,000 give an executive order. But again, he's fucking CIA. 1410 01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:04,960 He's a spook. He's not a fucking military guy 1411 01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:07,000 anymore. Presumably he was once That's 1412 01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:08,920 that's that's you know, neither here nor there. 1413 01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:11,360 The the other thing is like weapons free. 1414 01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:15,400 Just to be clear, weapons free is the order to shoot anything 1415 01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:17,600 that moves. It's a crazy bit of our way to 1416 01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,960 to to give off like any like ID crit. 1417 01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:22,480 There's no ID crit is going on you. 1418 01:10:22,480 --> 01:10:24,520 You are you're seeing something and you're killing it 1419 01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:25,840 immediately and asking questions later. 1420 01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:28,840 Whiles to me personally, but very easy for me to say it's an 1421 01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:31,560 armchair warrior. I guess I wasn't in that fucking 1422 01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:34,560 tunnel. I get it but but. 1423 01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:38,080 Wait a minute, are you telling me that you weren't the 15th man 1424 01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:41,000 in the tunnel or on the balcony? I know, right? 1425 01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:45,160 The ridiculous. Before we go back, when they're 1426 01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:48,120 at the motel, they'd have the briefing and, and Kate and and 1427 01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:50,240 Reggie, like, angrily got to their car to pick up their plate 1428 01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:52,000 protective. Do you notice that, like Kate 1429 01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:54,760 puts like 4 plates into a vest? Yeah. 1430 01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:56,840 And Reggie puts like one plate in his vest. 1431 01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:59,080 Yeah, what the fuck? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1432 01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:00,600 Because she was like front and back. 1433 01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:02,360 And then he's the important. Lucky guy. 1434 01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:04,760 So they go in the tunnel, MVGS come off, go in the tunnel, 1435 01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:09,040 helmet comes off in the tunnel, Reggie and Kate gets split up. 1436 01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:11,680 I think a stray bolt gonna get kind of catches the Kate. 1437 01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:14,960 Otherwise I think a gun gets shot. 1438 01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:18,400 Yeah, yeah, by the ricochet. Kid kids, kids rifle gets hit. 1439 01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:23,400 So she obviously like Kasich, just I guess abandoned it and 1440 01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:26,640 just switched to a pistol and and shake advances on doesn't 1441 01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:30,080 she goes up the wrong tunnel exit and she ends up in the 1442 01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:33,440 garage where they've been loading up that police car with 1443 01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:36,080 with La Cocaina or rather unloading it. 1444 01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:39,280 Yeah, the products. And we see Silvio. 1445 01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:42,040 So the world's collide. Emily Blunt sees Silvio, the 1446 01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:44,920 Mexican cop who's obviously under a lot of pressure to be 1447 01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:49,320 part of the cartel. Yeah, we get that and then we 1448 01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:53,280 get a showdown. Alejandro arrives, people 1449 01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:56,960 recognise him immediately for who he is, the Medelline, part 1450 01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:00,240 of the Medelline Cartel. So he's famous guy, obviously 1451 01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:04,640 everyone knows who he is and he kills one guy. 1452 01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:10,800 Kate holds her piss up to him and is talking to him and 1453 01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:13,560 without warning whatsoever he shoots you in the chest in the 1454 01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:15,720 in the plates. Straight up double taps are, 1455 01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:17,680 yeah. Knocked her on the Knox and rash 1456 01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:19,240 and says don't ever hold a weapon to me again. 1457 01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:24,160 So the mask is off. Not that there was much of A 1458 01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:27,040 mask already like but it's interesting because like 1459 01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:31,800 beforehand he'd like saved her life from from John Bernthal. 1460 01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:34,360 It's kind of been saying you remind me of like somebody in my 1461 01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:36,080 life. Probably his daughter, right, 1462 01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:38,800 which just paid off later. And he's been really nice. 1463 01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:41,080 She's also been like traumatised by what happened there. 1464 01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:42,960 And I think he like kind of talks her down a little bit from 1465 01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:46,800 the ledge after after attack. So I see him like emotionally 1466 01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:49,800 without a second thought. I just put two in the chest and 1467 01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:52,400 like, sit your ass down. Yeah, yeah, he's in. 1468 01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:55,160 Fuck around. Yeah, I can't see seems like 1469 01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:58,240 this anymore without thinking of I want to take your that bit 1470 01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:00,640 from striking distance. But he's like butter proves 1471 01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:07,320 who's the best cop Jesus striking distance ruined me for 1472 01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:10,040 lots of things. Now colour professed Jesus 1473 01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:13,040 Christ. Wonderful stuff. 1474 01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:15,480 Dennis Farida, man 18 years a detective. 1475 01:13:15,480 --> 01:13:16,800 I love that fact. Gosh. 1476 01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:19,680 Cool. So what do we see? 1477 01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:21,440 It kind of splits off again, doesn't it? 1478 01:13:21,480 --> 01:13:25,000 You follow half of it kind of is following Alejandro, which I 1479 01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:28,360 think we'll we'll come a second. The other half is Kate. 1480 01:13:29,440 --> 01:13:30,880 So the rest of the office happened. 1481 01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:33,680 Alejandro was supposed to right off on his own. 1482 01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:36,680 He is not not accounted for. He is just off on his own little 1483 01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:39,360 side quest now. Yeah, the rest of the team is 1484 01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:43,120 like high fiving fucking circle jerk tea and stickies like 1485 01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:45,200 another great clean up, clean up. 1486 01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:46,720 They killed a bunch of people clean up. 1487 01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:50,600 So lost a weapon clean up. He's doing a fuck Reggie's like 1488 01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:52,280 where's Kate? And he's like, I thought she was 1489 01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:54,400 with you fucking high 5 clean up. 1490 01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:56,360 Like haven't even accounted for workforce. 1491 01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:59,600 Ridiculous. And then she stumbles out like 1492 01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:01,760 obviously breathing heavily. Jess is probably incredibly 1493 01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:05,800 bruised, all that kind of stuff. And then she swings Josh Brolin, 1494 01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:09,440 which is, and this is horrible. Swings are really satisfying. 1495 01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:12,200 Punching the grid, great. He froze onto the ground with an 1496 01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:14,200 incredible violence. Yeah. 1497 01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:18,520 They tussle for a little bit and then he kind of forces it into 1498 01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:22,000 the side of a good ditch and then forces his knee into her 1499 01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:25,440 throat to cut her airway and then holds her head down with 1500 01:14:25,440 --> 01:14:28,640 the palm of his hand. Like you would like a naughty 1501 01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:30,680 cat if it was like attacking you. 1502 01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:34,080 And until then, she she like, calm down, calm down, fucking 1503 01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:36,040 calm down. And it's horrible to see, like 1504 01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:39,160 humbled, like old country fashion, really bad. 1505 01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:41,400 Don't like seeing it. This film is like, there's a lot 1506 01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:43,960 of horrible violence in this film, but like the violence that 1507 01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:47,640 is happening to Emily Blunt the whole way through is like just 1508 01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:50,040 particularly grim. Yeah, this film kicks a shit out 1509 01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:56,040 of other whole way through. Yeah, you have to imagine, and 1510 01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:58,560 we'll get to it when we, like, do the final scenes. 1511 01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:01,640 But you have to imagine like, like, what was she? 1512 01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:04,800 What would that character be like the day after this movie 1513 01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:07,240 like she has? She's got to be like handing a 1514 01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:11,680 badge and a gun in and just be like, fuck this country anyway 1515 01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:15,040 anymore before we go on to Alejandro's kind of crowning 1516 01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:17,640 crowning. This is this is just I find 1517 01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:20,680 interesting how so much of the preamble of this film was just 1518 01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:25,400 so they could fucking infiltrate him in to get close to to this 1519 01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:30,360 this guy and kill him. And it's like, did the need to 1520 01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:32,640 do all this just to give him an in? 1521 01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:35,800 This is where I think Taylor Sheridan plays his cards, and I 1522 01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:38,040 think this is unavoidable in the screenplay. 1523 01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:39,840 I don't think Denny Villeneuve could do anything about this. 1524 01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:43,440 Obviously he's a working director, he's taken a job, and 1525 01:15:43,440 --> 01:15:45,720 he's obviously making someone else's screenplay. 1526 01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:49,720 Like, this is where the movie kind of shows its hand and says 1527 01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:52,320 this Alejandro guy, he's really cool. 1528 01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:54,680 This guy fucking rules. You might not like. 1529 01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:56,480 You might not like it how he does things. 1530 01:15:56,480 --> 01:16:00,600 You might think it's grotesque, abhorrent even, But, oh, isn't 1531 01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:02,240 it fucking cool, though? Yeah, man. 1532 01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:04,480 So yeah, we have the bet in the car with Silvio. 1533 01:16:04,480 --> 01:16:06,440 So he's driving in the back of the police cruiser. 1534 01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:08,880 Yeah. Holding the gun to Silvio's 1535 01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:10,520 head. And this is like really horrible 1536 01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:13,800 for us because we know, like we followed Silvio, he's like, he's 1537 01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:15,280 just a dude. He's a father. 1538 01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:18,320 He's trying to get by. We don't see enough of his life 1539 01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:20,920 to make a judgement about how he got into the cartel team was 1540 01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:22,960 sort of super tragic, but it's pretty tragic. 1541 01:16:23,440 --> 01:16:25,560 Yeah. Pulls over Diaz. 1542 01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:29,040 Yeah. Who's then pretty grim. 1543 01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:32,040 Like he you're probably cover it the weaponry, but be kill Silvio 1544 01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:33,120 shoots him in the back of the head. 1545 01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:36,560 Yeah. And then he shoots and then he 1546 01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:38,640 like shoots Diaz to wound. Yeah. 1547 01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:42,680 Pretty grim. Yeah, get some in the car and 1548 01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:46,880 then drive back. Oh, it's the drive to to Diaz's 1549 01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:49,320 boss's house. Like to the to the to the kind 1550 01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:51,320 of Yeah. Like they're like the real, the 1551 01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:53,280 real, the real hefe of the thing. 1552 01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:56,560 And it is. Julio Caesar Cedillo. 1553 01:16:56,600 --> 01:17:00,520 That's right, and we'll see the It's horrible. 1554 01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:04,760 It leads to scenes of just family eradication and a little 1555 01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:08,160 bit of kind of verbal grandstanding that they probably 1556 01:17:08,160 --> 01:17:10,800 couldn't take out of the film because he needed to have some 1557 01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:13,520 dialogue, right. I mean, he couldn't just he he 1558 01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:16,600 couldn't speak a fucking mute. But so he finally delivers the 1559 01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:18,480 exposition that I think was probably delivered. 1560 01:17:18,480 --> 01:17:21,680 Well, yeah. In in the original uncut script, 1561 01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:26,560 the whole scene, the build up. It's the the bit when it's like, 1562 01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:29,760 do they do they speak English? Do your children speak English? 1563 01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:35,760 No, they will speak in English. So obviously he takes a seat 1564 01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:41,080 with this guy, his wife and the children, and he just brutally 1565 01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:44,560 tells him, you know, that, yeah, he killed my wife, he killed my 1566 01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:48,880 daughter kind of thing. And it just summarily destroys 1567 01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:50,480 the family. He shoots the two sons. 1568 01:17:50,480 --> 01:17:56,080 He shoots the wife and then gives the dad, now a widower and 1569 01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:59,520 a father of no one. Just moments, moments. 1570 01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:03,920 They're like process the horror that he's just witnessed before 1571 01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:05,880 he connects him to God's Wi-Fi as well. 1572 01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:07,360 Great bit of restraint there as well. 1573 01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:10,120 So we we see him like obviously position the guns. 1574 01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:14,240 Yeah. But we cameras laser focused on 1575 01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:17,760 on the the healthiest the drug Lords face. 1576 01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:22,480 We only get like a side a perspective wise of the everyone 1577 01:18:22,480 --> 01:18:23,640 slimmed over the dead in the chairs. 1578 01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:26,160 Yeah, yeah, second, second. Like we get like, what a subject 1579 01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:28,800 shot of that for a split second, and then we cut back onto his 1580 01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:32,080 face again wide. And he's he holds the gun up and 1581 01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:33,720 he hesitates just a second. Yeah. 1582 01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:37,600 And then he's like, yeah, pretty, pretty grim stuff. 1583 01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:43,840 And then see that's that's that's what so much of America 1584 01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:46,440 has a military industrial complex in this film has been 1585 01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:51,520 working towards Predator drones about flights across the border. 1586 01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:55,840 They've had kinetic operations. All of this so he could go and 1587 01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:57,720 kill a dude, wipe his family out really, right. 1588 01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:00,760 I mean. That initial obstacle, you know, 1589 01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:04,480 Yeah, that that initial obstacle and get the guy, Yeah, Blackhawk 1590 01:19:04,480 --> 01:19:06,440 flies them to the friggin border. 1591 01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:08,360 Yeah, yeah. Like, there's like, there's a 1592 01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:09,880 lot of money put into this, right? 1593 01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:11,720 It's a strong statement of intent. 1594 01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:14,320 If you were looking up at the skies from the border, it'd seem 1595 01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:17,600 like a Blackhawk flying across. Like, yeah, you'll see that 1596 01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:19,000 every day. Okie, dokie. 1597 01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:23,880 So the next day, Alejandro appears in Kate's apartment and 1598 01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:26,480 forces her at gunpoint to sign a statement attesting to the 1599 01:19:26,480 --> 01:19:30,600 entire operation was legal. That's an understatement. 1600 01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:32,520 This is horrible. So she's just stood on a 1601 01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:36,160 balcony, tapping away. A voice comes from inside the 1602 01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:39,240 apartment saying you should avoid standing on balconies for 1603 01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:42,240 a while, Kate. She comes inside. 1604 01:19:42,480 --> 01:19:46,000 He presents the papers. He holds her own service weapon 1605 01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:49,200 to her chin while she's like crying and trying to think of 1606 01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:50,920 what she going to do. She's already threatened to like 1607 01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:53,280 expose everything to to Josh Brolin. 1608 01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:55,200 I don't think there's any real risk of her following through 1609 01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:56,760 with that, to be honest. But we just haven't seen that 1610 01:19:56,760 --> 01:19:58,040 kind of gumption from the character. 1611 01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:00,040 But she's she looks utterly defeated. 1612 01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:02,880 She's like weeping, crying, screwing, crying up. 1613 01:20:02,960 --> 01:20:05,720 She signs the signs of papers and she has like. 1614 01:20:06,480 --> 01:20:09,640 It's like watching a fish, like taking out of water, like 1615 01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:13,440 flailing for its life, like on the ground as Alejandro leaves 1616 01:20:13,440 --> 01:20:16,280 and walks across the parking lot of her her building complex as 1617 01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:19,640 she pulls out her weapon again after having rebuilt it because 1618 01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:21,360 he stripped. He strips it as he's leaving. 1619 01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:23,600 She rebuilds it. She goes out to the balcony. 1620 01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:27,000 She she aims with it like a nine mill for still probably like 50 1621 01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:28,400 metres shot. It wasn't going to be really 1622 01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:31,720 likely to hit anyway. He turns around, stares her dead 1623 01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:34,000 in the eye, having already said to her like the line like this 1624 01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:35,680 is a land of wolves and you are not a wolf. 1625 01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:38,080 You should go. You should go to some small town 1626 01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:40,280 where the rule of law still exists kind of thing. 1627 01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:44,040 And he just looks at her dead in the eye. 1628 01:20:44,520 --> 01:20:46,800 She eventually like just like stares her down. 1629 01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:50,440 She kind of like takes the gun slightly off aim. 1630 01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:53,800 She then she just lowers it. She just looks utterly defeated. 1631 01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:55,880 And then he just turned around and keeps walking away. 1632 01:20:56,320 --> 01:20:59,000 And then she's literally this is like a this is one of the scenes 1633 01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:02,440 where they have shallow to the depth of field slightly. 1634 01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:05,680 You see her like out of focus in the background, just like face 1635 01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:08,920 erased, irrelevant. Like her. 1636 01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:12,960 Her romance is now ended. Just like what a waste. 1637 01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:15,120 Just used up. Just a person, just you just you 1638 01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:17,880 spit like that bit in the guns and never own. 1639 01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:20,040 Do you see what you've done? You've used up a good, a 1640 01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:22,360 perfectly good human being. It's like that. 1641 01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:25,320 Yeah. She's absolutely defeated. 1642 01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:29,000 Horrible, absolutely horrible. Great film. 1643 01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:32,600 Yeah. Horrible moments around final 1644 01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:35,360 final final takes on the film I guess man think I think I love 1645 01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:37,400 it slightly less than I did at the time. 1646 01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:41,080 I think a lot of my love for the film is carried by Denny 1647 01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:43,120 Villeneuve and his ever works. I think. 1648 01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:46,000 I think the tennis shirt of it all has kind of bugged me a 1649 01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:47,040 little bit too much this time around. 1650 01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:50,360 I. Think this is the third time 1651 01:21:50,360 --> 01:21:52,920 I've watched this from now. I think my opinion of it is 1652 01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:55,640 largely unchanged. I do love it, I think for 1653 01:21:55,640 --> 01:22:00,120 slightly different reasons, because I like now it more 1654 01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:03,800 because I see how fucking doomed it is as a film. 1655 01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:10,720 Like, see, a few years have gone by since I've watched it the 1656 01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:12,800 first time. The world is more doomed. 1657 01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:20,680 And it it holds up in a way that the film makers can be like, 1658 01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:25,040 yeah, it fucking told you so, you know, it's it's shot 1659 01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:28,160 beautifully. The cinematography is amazing, 1660 01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:32,320 the soundtrack, the score is, is something else. 1661 01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:33,800 It's an absolute fucking work of art. 1662 01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:39,920 On a absolute autism note, some of the gunfight and it's 1663 01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:42,560 brilliant. But it takes a lot of boxes of 1664 01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:45,800 things I think are really cool. And it's just a really great 1665 01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:49,200 tension piece. It keeps the tension ramping up 1666 01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:51,080 and ramping up and ramping up. The whole film. 1667 01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:55,920 There was some moments in it that are so beautifully 1668 01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:58,520 evocative. These kind of liminal situations 1669 01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:02,280 when you really feel like you're crossing over from one state to 1670 01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:04,200 another, from one. And I've mean that in a kind of 1671 01:23:04,480 --> 01:23:07,400 emotional or spiritual state rather than like a nation state. 1672 01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:11,160 These crossing the border scenes, the scene when they've 1673 01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:13,800 been Speaking of all the immigrants who've been picked up 1674 01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:17,800 and then they're getting bussed off and just the kind of, it's 1675 01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:21,120 that special kind of loneliness the film evokes. 1676 01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:26,160 You guys will fucking know this when they have a job or a duty 1677 01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:30,160 to do that starts before 90% of the people in the world are 1678 01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:32,960 fucking up. And it's this cold fucking 1679 01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:34,560 loneliness. And some of the scenes when it 1680 01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:38,840 begins and it's like it's, it's, it's a hostile kind of feeling 1681 01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:41,000 that like it's, it's, it's lonesome. 1682 01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:46,440 It's a lonesome film, despite it being full of people at times. 1683 01:23:46,440 --> 01:23:48,800 It's a very lonely movie. That's a really good point. 1684 01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:50,640 I think that's that's that's bang on. 1685 01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:53,040 I think I think you're absolutely right about the film 1686 01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:56,280 calling out a big I sold you. So on the state of the world, I 1687 01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:58,760 think I think on that in that regard, yeah, I think I think 1688 01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:00,440 they can kind of hold their their heads high. 1689 01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:04,680 I think think I've come at it with a bit a bit more baggage 1690 01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:05,680 than I probably should have done. 1691 01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:09,280 And I, and I think we're watching the sequel, I'd 1692 01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:13,000 probably get a lot more pissed. So what we don't see is how far 1693 01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:14,560 she's fallen and where she's fallen from. 1694 01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:16,360 We just kind of see, well, you see how far she's fallen. 1695 01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:17,520 We don't see where she's fallen from. 1696 01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:20,760 We've seen her with the lie that she starts the movie believing, 1697 01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:23,800 which is that she's on the side of good injustice working for 1698 01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:26,120 the FBI. And we see at the end of it that 1699 01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:29,880 she is irrelevant. Not not like damaged, not like 1700 01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:31,520 broken by the events or anything. 1701 01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:34,680 She's rendered irrelevant by the by the events that happened. 1702 01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:37,440 She's shown to be powerless. Her organisation is shown to be 1703 01:24:37,440 --> 01:24:39,000 ineffectual. And if you were to compare it 1704 01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:40,720 with the scene that we see at the very beginning of the movie, 1705 01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:43,720 the FBI all working together as a team, all on comms, all 1706 01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:46,720 wearing tactical gear, storing a house, working together, doing 1707 01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:50,480 on that crusade. She is left on her own wearing a 1708 01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:54,960 just a pale grey T-shirt, barely able to operate her service 1709 01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:58,960 weapon streaming, crying. I can bloody mess of a person 1710 01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:03,280 all alone who one eye Freddie's new way to be seen left bereft 1711 01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:06,200 in the wind. So I think I think this movie 1712 01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:10,600 could have said a bit more about the state of the world by kind 1713 01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:12,880 of underpinning her with some more values. 1714 01:25:13,440 --> 01:25:18,400 That's what, yeah. To me part of it feels like it's 1715 01:25:18,400 --> 01:25:24,160 more sort of documentary of her moral decay if you will. 1716 01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:30,920 We're not given a huge amount of back story, personal law or 1717 01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:33,680 whatever. We've made a bunch of of jokes 1718 01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:36,880 about fem cell behaviour earlier but. 1719 01:25:37,200 --> 01:25:40,040 Only because that's funny. To me, it's sort of implied that 1720 01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:44,400 she's someone who has given herself to her job so fully. 1721 01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:47,760 Like we we're told she's no private life. 1722 01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:49,400 She's not interested into any of that. 1723 01:25:49,480 --> 01:25:52,360 Possibly because she at some point believed that it was the 1724 01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:57,800 right thing to do. Not just gets shattered in the 1725 01:25:57,800 --> 01:26:02,640 end with parts of that we we've already we've we've been given 1726 01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:04,840 this already sort of jaded character. 1727 01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:09,160 And at the beginning, she's operating for the system, but it 1728 01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:14,560 has subsumed all her own identity already to some point, 1729 01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:20,440 which is see that it gets gets and she's made her job, her 1730 01:26:20,440 --> 01:26:26,640 personality to to a point which is breaks her completely to see 1731 01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:30,240 that that doesn't it doesn't matter what she does to anyone. 1732 01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:33,360 I think I think that's something that people in the military can 1733 01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:35,160 probably empathise with pretty well. 1734 01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:39,120 The idea that your identity, because your identity gets kind 1735 01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:41,840 of taken over and supplanted by by a new one. 1736 01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:45,400 A set of values that you might not be able to articulate before 1737 01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:48,240 you joined or especially is given to you in, you know, a 1738 01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:50,720 handful of words. Curriculum and discipline, 1739 01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:53,000 respect for others, integrity, loyalty that you then like make 1740 01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:55,840 as part of yourself. I think if the veil is lifted 1741 01:26:56,200 --> 01:27:00,680 and it's shown to be like not those things, I think there's 1742 01:27:00,680 --> 01:27:02,640 only two ways you can go, isn't it? 1743 01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:05,520 You have a crack or you race the suck, don't you? 1744 01:27:06,760 --> 01:27:08,360 And she, I think she cracks the thing. 1745 01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:11,840 That's the one thing that I think I struggle with. 1746 01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:14,480 And I'd be interested to get like emails from, from people 1747 01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:16,200 who've watched the movie and stuff to get their opinion. 1748 01:27:16,480 --> 01:27:21,040 Is as soon as it's made evident that the only reason she's 1749 01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:26,560 invited to the party at all is for the legal technicality to 1750 01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:30,160 support the CIA operating on US soil, she is giving it out. 1751 01:27:31,120 --> 01:27:35,240 Freddie says he'll back into the hill if they both leave and and 1752 01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:39,520 depart and through spending the works she's the one who says no 1753 01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:43,960 we're staying. And I don't get if she's staying 1754 01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:47,920 because she wants to keep tabs on them and keep it legal or if 1755 01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:52,400 she's staying because it'd be too much fucking nose to to be 1756 01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:54,560 the one responsible for ruining the OP by leaving. 1757 01:27:55,360 --> 01:28:00,120 She's afraid of that for like a career perspective, or she has 1758 01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:03,880 this weird big revenge crusade thing going on where she feels 1759 01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:07,280 like she has to prove herself to these guys and affect the real 1760 01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:09,640 change. Or she feels like if I don't go 1761 01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:12,080 over, the death and bloodshed we've seen so far will be for 1762 01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:12,760 nothing. I don't know. 1763 01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:14,320 I'd be interested to see what people think of that. 1764 01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:17,920 I found it really hard to pass. Like why she made an affirmative 1765 01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:19,520 decision to stay when she hadn't out. 1766 01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:23,080 Apart from like script writing dictates that when someone's at 1767 01:28:23,080 --> 01:28:25,360 the Louis, they have to make a positive action to get into the 1768 01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:27,800 third act, which is just some like background screen writing 1769 01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:30,000 stuff. What I think is, I think one of 1770 01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:32,400 the things that makes her not walk away is that she doesn't 1771 01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:34,080 want to turn her back on these motherfuckers. 1772 01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:37,480 Put your front and your back plates in man. 1773 01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:41,160 Yeah, that's true that she'd have a bit of a, you know, they 1774 01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:44,680 bit the target on my head. I don't know if they would like 1775 01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:47,000 out and out killer in the middle of the day, but I think she 1776 01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:48,200 would. She'd piss off some people, 1777 01:28:48,200 --> 01:28:50,680 Yeah. Yeah, and it is kind of a kind 1778 01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:54,840 of comes consumer roost at the end when she's straight up told 1779 01:28:54,960 --> 01:29:00,320 by Alejandro that she should go to a small town somewhere, you 1780 01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:04,200 know, because it's over from she's she's going to be, at 1781 01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:09,840 best, no longer protected by the US government, at worst erased 1782 01:29:09,960 --> 01:29:12,560 by the US government or people working in cahoots with it. 1783 01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:15,200 Right. Yeah, it's pretty grim. 1784 01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:18,800 It's a it's a pity, it's kind of disappointing that they made 1785 01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:21,480 another movie and they don't address what happened with Kate 1786 01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:23,800 unless they do. Let me know. 1787 01:29:24,160 --> 01:29:27,480 Yeah, well, I mean, she's not credited as the so I mean, it's 1788 01:29:27,480 --> 01:29:30,640 either going to be a Poochy died on the way back to his home 1789 01:29:30,640 --> 01:29:32,080 planet kind of thing.

So yeah, you've got a point, 2140 01:48:56,040 --> 01:49:00,880 actually, trivia trivia that I really enjoyed. 2141 01:49:00,960 --> 01:49:04,120 So Emily Blunt was so sick from food poisoning while filming in 2142 01:49:04,120 --> 01:49:06,120 Mexico that she required IV fluids. 2143 01:49:06,120 --> 01:49:08,400 But it takes just to make it through our scenes. 2144 01:49:08,400 --> 01:49:10,280 That's fucking dedication of the bit, right? 2145 01:49:11,640 --> 01:49:14,920 But also it shows once again the film just punished the actress 2146 01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:18,080 as well as the character quite quite brutally. 2147 01:49:19,160 --> 01:49:22,440 The the Wild Pony bar around NM for is no more. 2148 01:49:22,440 --> 01:49:25,520 That's the bar when the weather went to get, you know, shagged 2149 01:49:25,520 --> 01:49:28,200 by the Punisher. In 2015, a fatal gang shooting 2150 01:49:28,200 --> 01:49:31,320 occurred between the Bandidos and Poor Boys outlaw motorcycle 2151 01:49:31,320 --> 01:49:33,240 clubs. The bar was close to some time, 2152 01:49:33,240 --> 01:49:34,800 but it was late. I renovated to become the 2153 01:49:34,800 --> 01:49:38,080 Horseshoe, which is not a bar but rather a public meeting 2154 01:49:38,080 --> 01:49:40,120 place. I love these like open source 2155 01:49:40,120 --> 01:49:42,280 things and IMDb. Yeah. 2156 01:49:42,640 --> 01:49:45,320 The iconic look for Steve Forsings, specifically the 2157 01:49:45,320 --> 01:49:48,160 chunky smiling I wear glasses and unassumingly dirty 2158 01:49:48,160 --> 01:49:51,560 appearance was modelled after William Bill F Cronin the Third, 2159 01:49:51,600 --> 01:49:54,680 a real life retired Delta Force operator who served on Norman 2160 01:49:54,680 --> 01:49:58,400 Schwarzkopf security detail so not make violent everyone says 2161 01:49:58,560 --> 01:50:02,840 question of the team. Where the hell are we putting 2162 01:50:03,640 --> 01:50:06,440 Columbo into this film? Where can we jump it? 2163 01:50:06,440 --> 01:50:08,640 A Falcon? I think he's too pure and too 2164 01:50:08,640 --> 01:50:10,600 good for this film. But we've got to find a way to 2165 01:50:10,600 --> 01:50:13,000 fucking fit them in. Yeah, wow. 2166 01:50:13,720 --> 01:50:18,280 And right here we go. When she goes to, is a white 2167 01:50:18,280 --> 01:50:20,240 pony, it's called. The. 2168 01:50:20,760 --> 01:50:23,240 Wild Pony. Wild pony, yeah. 2169 01:50:23,520 --> 01:50:24,280 Wild pony. Yeah. 2170 01:50:24,600 --> 01:50:28,600 She she just got served by like a really, really old geriatric 2171 01:50:28,600 --> 01:50:29,920 bartender. That's the guy. 2172 01:50:30,640 --> 01:50:32,840 That's the guy, isn't it? That's the guy. 2173 01:50:33,480 --> 01:50:40,600 I really couldn't see him being the one of the kind of law 2174 01:50:40,600 --> 01:50:44,600 enforcement power brokers kind of bringing her in for the for 2175 01:50:44,600 --> 01:50:46,200 the meeting. And I couldn't see him obviously 2176 01:50:46,200 --> 01:50:49,200 being anyone of the cartel site I like because he's just too 2177 01:50:49,200 --> 01:50:51,800 fucking decent of a dude. Yeah. 2178 01:50:52,240 --> 01:50:54,600 Anybody have any stand out quotes from the film that they 2179 01:50:54,600 --> 01:50:56,160 like? God, that's a really good 2180 01:50:56,160 --> 01:50:59,040 question actually, You know, it's, it's not super quotable. 2181 01:50:59,120 --> 01:50:59,800 I. Struggled. 2182 01:51:00,640 --> 01:51:03,360 Yeah, there's, there's there's literally penicillin, Toro 2183 01:51:03,920 --> 01:51:07,840 saying this is a land of wolves and you're not a wolf God. 2184 01:51:08,080 --> 01:51:08,960 Yeah. What else is there? 2185 01:51:10,080 --> 01:51:12,640 Nothing will make sense to your American years, and you will 2186 01:51:12,640 --> 01:51:14,640 doubt everything that we do. But in the end, you will 2187 01:51:14,640 --> 01:51:17,800 understand. Like, oh, no, man, I don't. 2188 01:51:17,800 --> 01:51:19,440 I don't love the dialogue in this movie. 2189 01:51:20,640 --> 01:51:22,320 You should move to a small town where the rule of law still 2190 01:51:22,320 --> 01:51:23,640 exists. You will not survive here. 2191 01:51:23,640 --> 01:51:25,240 You're not a wolf. And this is the land of wolves. 2192 01:51:25,240 --> 01:51:26,960 Now that's the full quote. Yeah. 2193 01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:30,160 That's cool. Yeah, it's not much. 2194 01:51:30,200 --> 01:51:33,080 I mean, like, you know what, it's interesting. 2195 01:51:33,240 --> 01:51:36,320 I mentioned earlier on they they took out like 90% of Alejandro's 2196 01:51:36,320 --> 01:51:38,160 dialogue. All the cool, cool to still 2197 01:51:38,160 --> 01:51:41,640 Alandro. Like he would have just been a 2198 01:51:41,640 --> 01:51:45,640 quota machine I imagine. Yeah, it's it's it's definitely 2199 01:51:46,400 --> 01:51:48,800 doesn't have film less. It doesn't really have like a 2200 01:51:48,800 --> 01:51:51,760 lot of lines that go super hard. It's not like an eminently 2201 01:51:51,760 --> 01:51:54,800 eminently, yet it's not again, you run dialogue from the slum 2202 01:51:54,800 --> 01:51:56,400 of the pub. You mates kind of thing, you 2203 01:51:56,400 --> 01:51:58,520 know. The only one I like that isn't 2204 01:51:58,720 --> 01:52:01,480 Alejandro is Kate on the initial meeting going what's her 2205 01:52:01,480 --> 01:52:04,320 objective and then Matt grinning like a real shit eating grin on 2206 01:52:04,320 --> 01:52:07,240 her face and goes to dramatically overreact. 2207 01:52:08,600 --> 01:52:11,040 Yeah. Wow cool, I'll write that up as 2208 01:52:11,040 --> 01:52:13,160 the command name. Shall I fucking speed up the 12 2209 01:52:13,160 --> 01:52:14,720 knots for comprar environment surface? 2210 01:52:15,040 --> 01:52:17,160 OK, Jesus. Yeah, I think, I think, I think 2211 01:52:17,160 --> 01:52:20,400 that's probably one of the one, one of the more colour lines of 2212 01:52:20,400 --> 01:52:22,080 the film. Be honest Sonia that any that 2213 01:52:22,080 --> 01:52:27,280 any quotes impress you. Not really, I've had this on the 2214 01:52:27,280 --> 01:52:29,640 back of my head head from earlier. 2215 01:52:32,440 --> 01:52:38,400 Well I've been wondering if this film would possibly still work 2216 01:52:39,720 --> 01:52:42,760 if it had sound but none of the dialogue. 2217 01:52:43,480 --> 01:52:47,600 That's actually because a lot of the is just the soundtrack and 2218 01:52:47,600 --> 01:52:53,800 gun noises, and much of the suspense is not from dialogue 2219 01:52:53,800 --> 01:52:57,560 but just the soundtrack. And when it comes to to all the 2220 01:52:58,360 --> 01:53:02,320 tactical stuff, it's all just hand signs and gestures and 2221 01:53:02,320 --> 01:53:06,080 pointing anyway, so the the dialogue isn't really needed 2222 01:53:06,080 --> 01:53:08,760 there either. Phil have talked about making 2223 01:53:08,760 --> 01:53:14,400 Dune Part 2 to a silent film in the this is like in the press 2224 01:53:14,400 --> 01:53:16,960 run up to it and everything. Yeah, obviously, obviously it 2225 01:53:16,960 --> 01:53:18,560 couldn't have been. I mean, it's a film that's 2226 01:53:18,560 --> 01:53:20,960 famous for having one really good speech, for example. 2227 01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:23,920 He doesn't like, he doesn't, he doesn't think that film should 2228 01:53:23,920 --> 01:53:25,880 be a medium which is given to by dialogue. 2229 01:53:25,880 --> 01:53:29,080 He thinks that dialogue is overtaken film and has ruined 2230 01:53:29,080 --> 01:53:30,720 the art form as a visual art form. 2231 01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:32,560 And he has. And obviously he would love to 2232 01:53:32,560 --> 01:53:34,880 do probably a silent film if he had the power to. 2233 01:53:34,880 --> 01:53:35,880 I think. I think it's a really 2234 01:53:35,880 --> 01:53:37,560 interesting point. It pretty much works. 2235 01:53:37,680 --> 01:53:39,640 Yeah, definitely, definitely. It's actually really fucking 2236 01:53:39,640 --> 01:53:40,320 good. I like that. 2237 01:53:40,680 --> 01:53:43,280 I would really watch that. Yeah, I would. 2238 01:53:43,640 --> 01:53:46,680 I would watch the photo. Definitely have you guys. 2239 01:53:46,680 --> 01:53:49,880 I love doing this shit right? Have you guys seen the Steven 2240 01:53:49,880 --> 01:53:52,080 Sudeburg cut of Red as the Lost Ark? 2241 01:53:52,760 --> 01:53:56,040 No, I have not. He recuts the film in black and 2242 01:53:56,040 --> 01:53:59,880 white and he removes all the soundtrack apart from any re 2243 01:54:00,120 --> 01:54:03,200 cuts it with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's score from The 2244 01:54:03,200 --> 01:54:06,640 Social Network. And the film still makes perfect 2245 01:54:06,640 --> 01:54:07,440 sense. Now, I don't know if that's 2246 01:54:07,440 --> 01:54:09,840 because partially because I know that from like the back of my 2247 01:54:09,840 --> 01:54:13,760 hand, but also the visual storytelling of it works like 2248 01:54:14,240 --> 01:54:15,800 the emphasis put on the right objects. 2249 01:54:15,800 --> 01:54:17,720 You know what the Mcguffins are, You know what they're trying to 2250 01:54:17,720 --> 01:54:19,200 find. You know who the fucking bad 2251 01:54:19,200 --> 01:54:21,280 guys are. You know who the good guys are. 2252 01:54:21,520 --> 01:54:24,000 You understand the relationships because people are very broad in 2253 01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:25,200 the film. Yeah. 2254 01:54:26,520 --> 01:54:30,520 It's amazing how well it works and it's a testament to Douglas 2255 01:54:30,520 --> 01:54:32,960 Lookum's like cinematography as well that even when they've 2256 01:54:32,960 --> 01:54:36,240 taken all the colour out, the images are so striking and it 2257 01:54:36,240 --> 01:54:39,280 looks absolutely astounding.

Especially right now while 2271 01:55:13,880 --> 01:55:16,640 watching the news. Yeah, exactly. 2272 01:55:16,800 --> 01:55:18,680 There, there is a bit, I don't know if you noticed it. 2273 01:55:18,920 --> 01:55:20,680 This isn't a missed opportunity. It's something I noticed in the 2274 01:55:20,680 --> 01:55:24,520 detail when they're having that meeting about the the bank money 2275 01:55:24,520 --> 01:55:27,440 laundering sting they did before they go to that, that again, 2276 01:55:27,440 --> 01:55:29,760 it's like a really plain office. It's a random building. 2277 01:55:29,800 --> 01:55:34,240 There's ATV playing on a wall and the news story is about a 2278 01:55:34,240 --> 01:55:36,040 massive uptick to funding for ICE. 2279 01:55:36,840 --> 01:55:39,280 And let's think all the like recruit like 10,000 more ice 2280 01:55:39,280 --> 01:55:41,320 officers or something. That's like fucking hell, man. 2281 01:55:41,320 --> 01:55:44,560 That's like a bit too real. Too real. 2282 01:55:44,560 --> 01:55:47,000 I mean, you've got to think that ICE is more funded right now 2283 01:55:47,000 --> 01:55:50,080 than the Canadian Defence Force. Oh it's crazy. 2284 01:55:50,240 --> 01:55:52,360 That's mad. I was I was blown away when I 2285 01:55:52,360 --> 01:55:57,320 watched them in episode was season 2 or 3 of Bosch. 2286 01:55:57,360 --> 01:56:01,000 And there's some ICE agents appear in it briefly and they're 2287 01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:06,000 just wearing like blue jeans, white T-shirts and like black 2288 01:56:06,120 --> 01:56:08,800 plate carriers with ice on them. And it's like they're not, 2289 01:56:08,800 --> 01:56:11,000 they're not like wearing all like the face coverings and 2290 01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:12,680 shit. They're not, they're not like in 2291 01:56:12,680 --> 01:56:15,120 in, in fucking green. And it's just wild. 2292 01:56:15,120 --> 01:56:18,000 It's like, but when, when you think how like, I mean the 2293 01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:22,200 protagonist, one of the, well, I guess the jutor agonist of 2294 01:56:22,200 --> 01:56:27,360 Machete was an ICE agent fucking the fucking good gal or the one 2295 01:56:27,360 --> 01:56:29,360 of the good guys. You know, she, she, she, she 2296 01:56:29,360 --> 01:56:32,760 was, I'm sure she was either an ICE agent like a CDP agent. 2297 01:56:33,360 --> 01:56:37,120 ICE started like in 2003, I think is really new 2298 01:56:37,280 --> 01:56:38,360 organisation. It was. 2299 01:56:38,360 --> 01:56:42,600 It was fun because like the wound up that got rid of INS and 2300 01:56:43,400 --> 01:56:46,080 replaced it with ice. Yeah, yeah. 2301 01:56:46,080 --> 01:56:49,080 It's interesting. So obviously Bosch and this 2302 01:56:49,080 --> 01:56:51,680 film, obviously this film came out in 2015. 2303 01:56:51,680 --> 01:56:54,280 So Presidential Race was obviously written and and 2304 01:56:54,280 --> 01:56:57,920 produced during the final years of the Obama administration. 2305 01:56:57,960 --> 01:57:00,480 Bosch came out like in the right in the middle of the Obama 2306 01:57:00,480 --> 01:57:04,880 administration and at that time there's a lot of news stories 2307 01:57:04,880 --> 01:57:07,600 about the humongous amount of deportations that were happening 2308 01:57:07,600 --> 01:57:10,320 under that that administration. I'm not going to attend. 2309 01:57:10,320 --> 01:57:12,960 It's like a new issue that is just sprung up overnight, like 2310 01:57:12,960 --> 01:57:15,480 like that's been happening for a really, really long time. 2311 01:57:15,600 --> 01:57:18,760 The differences is that the people enforcing it and doing it 2312 01:57:18,880 --> 01:57:21,040 were like hiding their face. They weren't stopping people in 2313 01:57:21,040 --> 01:57:22,080 the street. They weren't shooting and 2314 01:57:22,080 --> 01:57:24,160 killing people. They weren't necessarily always 2315 01:57:24,160 --> 01:57:25,800 splitting up families. There was a bit of that, 2316 01:57:27,120 --> 01:57:29,440 definitely, but there was generally like a bit of a due 2317 01:57:29,440 --> 01:57:31,800 process going on with people. Yes, it were detained. 2318 01:57:31,800 --> 01:57:35,680 Yes, people would deport people deployed, but that kind of is 2319 01:57:35,680 --> 01:57:38,320 just like the system I guess working to a certain extent. 2320 01:57:38,320 --> 01:57:40,480 I don't want to get like super deep into that issue. 2321 01:57:40,800 --> 01:57:45,800 But yeah, prescience that the humongous influx of funding is 2322 01:57:45,800 --> 01:57:49,400 that particular organisation is is got like a little bit of a 2323 01:57:49,400 --> 01:57:51,360 lamp shade in this movie is really small detail. 2324 01:57:51,600 --> 01:57:54,680 Yeah, yeah, I guess. I guess that is the one three 2325 01:57:54,680 --> 01:57:58,200 letter agency that doesn't get any real input into this film. 2326 01:57:58,680 --> 01:58:02,680 Yeah, there were guys I've credited in the film as ICE 2327 01:58:02,680 --> 01:58:04,160 agents. Yeah. 2328 01:58:04,160 --> 01:58:07,120 So then obviously the guys handling the yeah. 2329 01:58:07,160 --> 01:58:10,160 So that's the guys that they speak to in Tucson at that that 2330 01:58:10,160 --> 01:58:12,800 depot where all those coach, all those coaches are at. 2331 01:58:13,080 --> 01:58:16,120 Yeah. So it's a mix of CBP and ICE at 2332 01:58:16,120 --> 01:58:18,480 the the kind of truck stop area, Yeah. 2333 01:58:18,920 --> 01:58:21,920 Yeah. But yeah, we don't dig into 2334 01:58:21,920 --> 01:58:23,560 that. I guess I'd be really interested 2335 01:58:23,560 --> 01:58:27,720 to see and this would really pin Taylor Sheridan's colours to the 2336 01:58:27,720 --> 01:58:30,280 mast here. If if they make a third one and 2337 01:58:30,280 --> 01:58:33,640 ice are involved in it, what that that what format takes, 2338 01:58:33,720 --> 01:58:36,520 because I would I would. I don't know his. 2339 01:58:36,520 --> 01:58:38,600 I think he's one of those people who's quite truly tries to keep 2340 01:58:38,600 --> 01:58:41,440 his politics to himself and doesn't doesn't doesn't say what 2341 01:58:41,440 --> 01:58:43,320 he believes. In my experience, those people 2342 01:58:43,320 --> 01:58:45,000 tend to be fucking maggots, right. 2343 01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:47,800 So, so I wouldn't be surprised. I don't want to accuse him. 2344 01:58:47,920 --> 01:58:50,120 If anyone's got like fucking evidence of the country, that's 2345 01:58:50,120 --> 01:58:51,560 fine, sends it in, whatever. But. 2346 01:58:51,560 --> 01:58:55,320 Answers that, of course what? Yeah, all I would say is if I 2347 01:58:55,320 --> 01:58:57,680 can, if it walks like a duck and quite like a fucking duck, man. 2348 01:58:58,080 --> 01:59:01,240 I mean, we're going to do it right if like Sicario 3 comes 2349 01:59:01,240 --> 01:59:04,800 out and fucking Jason Aldean sings the theme tune, sure. 2350 01:59:05,480 --> 01:59:08,280 And it's just a rework of Try that at a small town. 2351 01:59:08,720 --> 01:59:13,240 Yeah, fuck it out.

Low Mexican radar. 2402 02:02:01,080 --> 02:02:02,600 I don't think it's in Mexico though. 2403 02:02:02,600 --> 02:02:05,200 I think it's only on the border. I think it's how they get to the 2404 02:02:05,200 --> 02:02:07,320 border, isn't it? I mean, maybe they don't get 2405 02:02:07,320 --> 02:02:11,200 picked up by Mexican read or anywhere like just just because 2406 02:02:11,200 --> 02:02:14,760 we don't know how much, we don't know how much kind of hand and 2407 02:02:14,760 --> 02:02:18,920 glove work in the US really has with the Mexicans at this point, 2408 02:02:18,920 --> 02:02:20,600 right?

Like I said, absolute cinema. 2486 02:06:31,080 --> 02:06:34,040 Wish Johnny Boy was in more scenes other than getting wet 2487 02:06:34,040 --> 02:06:36,760 willied. I'm glad. 2488 02:06:36,760 --> 02:06:38,400 I'm glad people are noticing the work, really. 2489 02:06:38,520 --> 02:06:41,560 Taylor Sheridan, if you see this, please write something for 2490 02:06:41,560 --> 02:06:43,720 Emily Blunt and let me play her daughter. 2491 02:06:43,800 --> 02:06:47,600 Someone just says holy moly for half stars and then the big hit 2492 02:06:47,600 --> 02:06:50,080 and five star ones. I still need to watch the second 2493 02:06:50,080 --> 02:06:52,680 film, but I just know it won't come close to this masterpiece. 2494 02:06:52,680 --> 02:06:55,760 You're probably right there. Patrick Bloom, from what I've 2495 02:06:55,760 --> 02:07:01,360 heard doing this movie rips. Dude, I want a cigarette so bad. 2496 02:07:01,360 --> 02:07:07,160 Emily Blunt as the audience surrogate bug and absolutely 2497 02:07:07,160 --> 02:07:08,960 amazing. Everyone shut the fuck up, but 2498 02:07:08,960 --> 02:07:11,440 he showed Del Toro was being cool as fuck right now. 2499 02:07:11,920 --> 02:07:15,240 Four stars, perfect review, 0 notes. 2500 02:07:15,320 --> 02:07:17,320 We're close to the end of the episode now with you guys. 2501 02:07:18,360 --> 02:07:20,880 I think there's really one thing left to do. 2502 02:07:21,120 --> 02:07:25,800 Check. Is this film pro or anti the 2503 02:07:25,800 --> 02:07:29,200 Central Intelligence Agency? Incredibly, anti. 2504 02:07:29,280 --> 02:07:32,920 Incredibly. This film is, I think, yeah, I 2505 02:07:32,920 --> 02:07:36,400 don't think this franchises, this is really weird example, I 2506 02:07:36,400 --> 02:07:39,240 think where I think I have to watch the second film properly 2507 02:07:39,240 --> 02:07:41,520 to kind of get the whole thing. But I think, I think this film 2508 02:07:42,120 --> 02:07:44,160 says, hey, this is fucked up and bad. 2509 02:07:44,600 --> 02:07:47,000 And I think the second film's going to go actually, this is 2510 02:07:47,000 --> 02:07:50,800 really cool. Yeah, like it's going to go from 2511 02:07:50,800 --> 02:07:53,400 fucked up and bad to jacked up and Rod, right? 2512 02:07:53,920 --> 02:07:59,880 Yeah, yeah, yeah, big time. Yeah, but you know what, we've 2513 02:07:59,880 --> 02:08:01,320 mentioned Call of Duty a few times. 2514 02:08:01,320 --> 02:08:03,600 Just reminds us there is one question we need to ask about 2515 02:08:03,600 --> 02:08:05,520 this film because we've gone over the fact, obviously you 2516 02:08:05,520 --> 02:08:08,640 mentioned that it would be popular in the mess, but would 2517 02:08:08,640 --> 02:08:10,720 go down for maybe the wrong reasons. 2518 02:08:11,880 --> 02:08:15,040 Yeah. How does film fare as a video 2519 02:08:15,040 --> 02:08:18,000 game and in hard mode? It can't be a first person 2520 02:08:18,000 --> 02:08:21,040 shooter. OK, yeah, man. 2521 02:08:21,360 --> 02:08:22,880 That's a hard mode question right there. 2522 02:08:22,880 --> 02:08:24,840 It's easy to say Call of Duty with a Mexican film. 2523 02:08:24,840 --> 02:08:28,800 I go, you know. Yeah, you, yeah, that's, that's 2524 02:08:28,800 --> 02:08:30,880 the easy 1, isn't it? You are playing a like a 2525 02:08:30,880 --> 02:08:34,960 tactical squad shooter and you are like one of the guys and you 2526 02:08:34,960 --> 02:08:37,800 have the MVGS and you're going for the tunnels and that's all 2527 02:08:37,800 --> 02:08:41,840 really cool. Yeah, I think I think the next 2528 02:08:41,840 --> 02:08:44,440 best thing, wow. It's probably if you stick with 2529 02:08:44,440 --> 02:08:54,560 Kate as your protag, I think. I think it's a retro style or 2530 02:08:54,560 --> 02:08:56,480 art point and click adventure game. 2531 02:08:57,480 --> 02:08:58,840 Police quest or something like that. 2532 02:08:59,360 --> 02:09:03,280 So yeah, you, I mean, obviously she's just been swept at by 2533 02:09:03,280 --> 02:09:06,440 events, but she needs to try and figure out what's going on, I 2534 02:09:06,440 --> 02:09:08,320 guess. Yeah, but you're, but you're in 2535 02:09:08,320 --> 02:09:12,920 a bit of a weird rock and a hard place where the actual story is 2536 02:09:13,440 --> 02:09:16,560 like, what's what's the crack of the task force you've been 2537 02:09:16,560 --> 02:09:17,480 assigned to? More. 2538 02:09:17,480 --> 02:09:19,040 More than What's the crack of the cartel? 2539 02:09:19,840 --> 02:09:21,560 Yeah, that's actually cool. I like that. 2540 02:09:21,720 --> 02:09:24,440 I think, I think what it does do is it allows you to have a story 2541 02:09:24,440 --> 02:09:27,800 about the task force that gives short shift to the cartel 2542 02:09:27,800 --> 02:09:32,360 because the cartels the focus because you do as much it that 2543 02:09:32,360 --> 02:09:37,480 means that the the the the border crossing gunfight is like 2544 02:09:37,480 --> 02:09:41,080 a cutscene. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess that 2545 02:09:41,080 --> 02:09:42,760 would be it. I don't know how you would do 2546 02:09:42,800 --> 02:09:44,880 it. I think you would be Kate, and I 2547 02:09:44,880 --> 02:09:48,200 think it would just be, yeah, Point, click, talk to everybody. 2548 02:09:48,760 --> 02:09:50,800 Smoke some tabs. Smoke some. 2549 02:09:51,080 --> 02:09:53,160 Tabs. Yeah, have sex with a Punisher. 2550 02:09:53,720 --> 02:09:56,400 Convince people to talk to you. Yeah, you do all that and then 2551 02:09:56,400 --> 02:09:58,080 yeah. And it would be like pretty much 2552 02:09:58,080 --> 02:10:00,520 on rails like like all because arts and vegetables games kind 2553 02:10:00,520 --> 02:10:01,600 of were. It's fucking cool. 2554 02:10:02,680 --> 02:10:04,160 Like the Westwood Blade Runner game? 2555 02:10:05,040 --> 02:10:06,760 Yeah. I'd be good as shit. 2556 02:10:06,760 --> 02:10:08,840 I'd be good out man. Have you got an idea for a video 2557 02:10:08,840 --> 02:10:11,920 game? I think first of all, I would 2558 02:10:11,920 --> 02:10:14,760 have come with Kate as well as your playbook character. 2559 02:10:15,400 --> 02:10:19,280 Cool, I can see the the pixelated thing working. 2560 02:10:22,440 --> 02:10:26,360 I think I would put more of a focus on, let's dramatically 2561 02:10:26,360 --> 02:10:28,760 call it, keeping her alive. Yeah. 2562 02:10:29,800 --> 02:10:34,120 You could lean into the into the whole having a having a health 2563 02:10:34,120 --> 02:10:37,320 bar thing because she's get she's likely to get in that 2564 02:10:37,320 --> 02:10:38,920 situation. You're likely to have like 2565 02:10:39,840 --> 02:10:43,320 exhaustion, anxiety problems and all sort of things and you could 2566 02:10:43,320 --> 02:10:47,160 just play with with first person effects on that a lot. 2567 02:10:47,160 --> 02:10:48,400 Fuck, I want to change my answer. 2568 02:10:49,000 --> 02:10:51,480 Yeah, this is This is a survival horror game. 2569 02:10:51,680 --> 02:10:55,760 Yeah, Yeah. I would still put it in the 2570 02:10:56,160 --> 02:10:59,840 basically perspective wise, gameplay wise, I would put it in 2571 02:10:59,840 --> 02:11:05,720 the first person shooter perspective from the gameplay. 2572 02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:08,880 But you don't to get and you don't get to do the shooting 2573 02:11:08,880 --> 02:11:11,240 part. It's just all the keeping Kate 2574 02:11:11,240 --> 02:11:14,680 alive and not. And you could put in a dozen 2575 02:11:14,680 --> 02:11:17,840 dead ends for her that lead to her being shot by the squad 2576 02:11:17,840 --> 02:11:19,160 she's been assigned to us.
