- Contains some violence (of course, :P)
A compilation of the best pieces of dialogue in a film which I've fallen in love with so fast. Watch out for William Hurt at the end! :) - Sport
RIP William Hurt. 8 minutes of screen time and he owned every second.
Those 8 minutes got him a Best Supporting Oscar nomination in 2005.
"Hey broheim, you're still pretty good with the killing.... that's exciting."
Lol unintentionally funny to me
That might have been the shortest amount of screen time anyone ever had and got an Oscar nom. Props to Mr. Hurt.
I think Anthony Quinn's portrayal of Paul Gaugin in Lust for Life (1956) is the shortest. He won the best supporting actor for an 8 minutes performance compared to William Hurt's 9 minutes nomination. That said Hurt's work is fantastic.
Gary Oldman had a similar and short role in True Romance, and it was so convincing he should have got an Oscar Nod. Check it out. 👍
@@trueblue6201 I believe Anthony Quinn holds the record for best supporting actor, but Beatrice Straight was only in Network for five minutes and ending up winning that year for best supporting actress!
Aside from that one long single-shot opening scene, as a Philadelphia native my favorite part of this is how effortlessly Virggo Mortensen just slides into character (or out of character) when he finally says "Yeah, I'm Joey" in that Philly drawl - I mean that accent is pretty subtle and I don't know many people who can pull it off and sound natural.
I am from Philadelphia also and enjoyed the scene for the same reason. We pronounce "r" sounds.
4:37 his accent here reminds me of his role in Carlito's way, i hear a hint of that miami vice i there 😂
"You took his eye... barbed wire wasn't it? That's disgusting. You always were the crazy one."
Honestly William Hurt's performance in this is some of the best acting I've ever seen
Yeah, but his character is the dumbest mobster EVER as it can be seen at 7:36.
I agree, the depth Hurt manages to put into Richie is fantastic.
Go watch Mr Brooks, he's amazing in this.
I don't see it. Kinda felt like all the bad guys in this movie were 1-dimensional. Maybe the script just didn't allow for enough character building because it basically cycled through 3 antagonists, none of whom got a lot of screen time. But I just didn't really get into this movie. Trying to better understand it by reading other peoples' thoughts though.
@@RyanJ504 Understandable but not sure that the killers were all supposed to have the same depth. For me the key themes seemed to be a study on Tom/Joey and his family and their dynamics plus, for 3/4 of the movie, the mystery/ambiguity of Tom/Joey's true identity - a question only introduced by Fogarty and crew's arrival and increasingly present thereafter (despite us witnessing Tom/Joey's earlier heroics). Was he really a loving, self-effacing, family man and entrepreneur named Tom Stall as he claimed or was he previously a sadistic, killing machine, ex-gangster from Philly named Joey Cusack that even his wife and kids were unaware of? Despite incremental reveals of his character, temperament and abilities, it was inconclusive as to what the absolute truth was to the audience until Fogarty asked him if he had any last words as he was about to execute him on the lawn and Joey/Tom made that definitive statement. Hurt was very good but not sure he deserved to be nominated for Best Supporting actor for his approx 5 minutes of screen time all at the end.
It’s NOT exactly a gangster movie….
But it has some of the best gangster scenes ever.
Who knew the ending was a comedy. I couldn't stop laughing when he got locked out of his own house LOL
Richie was out of practice after years of ordering henchmen to do his dirty work.
It's absolutely hilarious - the weird banter about him trying to kill him in the crib, the botched execution, misses every shot and somehow he just straight up runs out of the room. The way he gets locked out of the house and then gets caught with his pants down trying to get his keys.
Ed Harris and William Hurt was so great in this.
Ed harris is criminally under rated
were
"were"
slewofdamascus unless he(she) meant “the duo” under pretense
Does Ed Harris call him “Joey” for the first time while Viggo’s back was turned? Wouldn’t he want to get a good look at his eyes the first time he drops that name? Maybe that’s a reach. I don’t know.
My favorite Cronenberg movie because it has the best writing and performances he's ever had.
This was the best coffee commercial with a plot 😁
Ed Harris really needs to play whitey bulger in a biopic
Hurt had all the best lines.
I've always appreciated actors. William hurt sits right there as the very best embodiment of that term. Movie stars are a dime for two dozen. Hollywood can make a movie star out of any idiot. Whereas an actor is an artist who has the ability to immediately make any character a living breathing person in front of you that you buy into 100%,you completely believe. An actor is an artist who owns every scene he's in. William Hurt was in that class. I was happy to see, as I am always, when someone who really is an actor who then, gets all the recognition and financial benefits of being a "movie star". William hurt was an American Treasure. I've never seen him not do a movie well. I appreciated his work as a teenager, and now as a 56-year-old grandfather, I'm mourning his loss, he will be missed dearly.
5:50 "You take his eye..." followed by Richie's priceless facial expression.
.RIP william hurt.. altered states, body heat, the big chill, childern of a lesser god, dark city, lost in space, A.I., the village, a history of violence, into the wild, the incredible hulk, captain america civil war, avengers endgame, vantage point..
You can argue that violence is wrong all you want, but you cant argue that violence doesnt solve problems. Solved every problem in this movie!
It solves problems in movies.... check mate!
The movie clearly state otherwise. It show's that while violence offer quick solution to immediate problem' it call for violence to repeat infinitly. When Viggo kill the agressor in the café, it triggers series of event that impact his family and the entire city he lived in. The guy is an ancient killer' and even if he turn himself away from this kind of life' violence have found a way to reach him nevertheless.
It solves everything honestly
One of the best movies I ever watched.
Even at the moment of his death, the great actor Hurt throws his left hand out, palm up, as if to say "Whaaat?
Children of a lesser god and History of Violence. In my opinion, two of William Hurt:s best performances. Look at the company he was in.
To be THAT good in the same room with Vigo Mortensen and thrive in your craft of acting. Good stuff !
"When mom brought you home from the hospital I tried to strangle you in your crib"
Lol the way he delivers that line gets me every time.
"I was a shoe-in to take over when the boss croaked. A shoe-in."
I could watch it again and again and again.
William Hurt was hamming it up
Viggo Mortensen...; I saw how good he was when he played Carlito's Way....
Lmao. The guy in the wheelchair. I totally forgot he was in that.
Lalin. Viggo Mortenson is so damn good. Eastrn Promises was very good.
No offense but you left out MY fave part: "You COST me, JOEY....a HELL of a LOT!!!" Tom/Joey calmly replied after eyeing the expensive décor: "Looks like you're doin' all right over here" -- as if to say (or he could've said}: "Richie, you live in a MANSION on an ESTATE -- whatta you crying about?!?"
It's really about greed isn't it? He wasn't happy with what he had because he wanted more.
Saw this in the theater. Richie's face filled the screen. "You know you cost me. You COST me, Joey! You have no idea how much SHIT I had to pull to clean up YOUR MESS before ANYTHING was gonna HAPPEN for me! You COST me! A HELL of a LOT, Joey, a HELL of a LOT!" Everyone in the theater was just riveted! He was SO evil with those crazy eyes.......
"Looks like you're doin all right over here.."
"Yeah, I am, I am. I'm still behind the eight-ball... because of you! There's a certain lack of respect, a certain lack of trust. The boys in Boston are just waitin' for me to go down." lol
The fact that Maria Bello wasn't nominated for her performance is criminal
No wonder she went lesbo.
I like the word Broheem that is used in this
I love how William Hurt says “Jeeeeezus Joeeeeey...”
@3:57 Tom: "In this house we don't solve problems by hitting people!"
Then proceed to hit son.
Tom "Joey" really solves his problems by shooting people.
It's called discipline. Lol but I get the joke
He just wanted to keep his son a good man. Some one better than he was. He talked back to his father. He was only trying to teach him.
He wasn't really solving a problem, it was for fun!
And Mrs.Stahl, don't forget your shooeees
‘How do you f*** that up?!’
Best scene
“We don’t solve problems by hitting people “
-slap
“Yeah we shoot people”
Next scene -BOOM
This film is a sardonic tragic comedy, really. Similar to Joker, but much bleaker.
In This family we don't solve our problems by hitting people! Followed by hitting someone.
My parents live near the town that parts of this film were shot in (Millbrook Ontario).
Always thought that little town looked so cool to live in.
I really need to try his coffee.
You mean CAWFEE!
William Hurt was fucking awesome
You can also imagine William Hurt as Mugatu in this scene for added hilarity.
You're a friggin genius
"A History" was basically an arthouse Steven Seagal flick.
Awesome Film!
William Hurt was a great actor!😢❤
How do you f*ck that up? HOW. DO. F*CK. THAT. UP?!
"HOW COULD YOU F THAT UP?"
One of Cronenberg's best and a gem of the 00s. Anyone know what the deal is with the two "spree killers" at the start? I couldn't find much about them, are they actually just going town to town murking people for the sheer joy of it?
I always felt like they were just guys who caused everything to begin to come to life again. And despite how despicable and ruthless they appeared to be no match for Viggo Mortenson in this movie
I’m guessing just thieves/criminals out and about trying to collect money. They didn’t get far on that motel money. Bunch of losers.
RIP William Hurt
Some of the best acting ever ,William Hurt. RIP. I wish they would play more of him with his perfect Philly accent and mannerisms,the part before the attempt to kill Joey👍🙏
Excellent movie.
Well done all around
Geezus Joey............... Geezus Richie.
Brilliant Film!!
I'm pretty sure William Hurt is playing me when I play multiplayer games: "HOWWWW... do you FUCK. THAT. UP!?"
Rip William Hurt
These killers do like their black coffee.....
keeps you amped up to kill
07:35 When Abel decides to kill Cain...
Such an underrated comment!
Appreciated
Reminder that _Eastern Promises_ is just as good, it also stars Viggo being directed by Cronenberg. Fun fact: the tattoos that Viggo wore were his idea, not Cronenberg's. Also, the long-haired Russian folk singer is not an actor, he's a real Russian folk singer.
"When Mom brought you home from the hospital I tried to strangle you in your crib...I guess all kids try to do that." LMAO talk about dark humor...
“Jesus Joey…” That face was both Impressed and Horrified
"Sure you are. . . Joey!"
Is that a benny Carl just gave to Tom (Joey Cusack) at 2.00? I can't make the number out.
Take a screenshot of it, then enhance and expand.
William Hurt looks like Seaman in the thumbnail
Was the time Joey had been gone ever given? And also why all the sudden are looking for him if it’s been a while?
WHAT WAS so casually said and so true: R: You COST me, Joey...a HELL of a LOT! J: [looks at nice furniture/house] It looks like you're doing all-right over here. Another way of saying (and I wish he'd have said this this way): "Dude, you're living in a MANSION on a goddam ESTATE. You live better than 98% of people on the PLANET. You're a BOSS. WHAT are you CRYING about?!?!?"
"I'm still behind the 8 ball...."
"Milkin' cows and shit?'
You can hear the barely hidden envy in the way he says it, for he feels his brother's life to be more content and less complicated.
7:11 💀
Every time
They just wanted some coffee.
Jesus Richie...” 🔫🔫
A Dane(?) playing an east Harlem puerto rican(?)... and he nailed it... I'm from Harlem; l know.
You missed Maria Bello running down the stairs. Its only the best part of the movie. You get an A-.
I think her opening the bathroom door was the best part.
R.I.P
“Nice gate” scene is the same gate from Billy Madison when he sings back to school
RIP KING
Alternate movie title:
"A history of Joey"
5:48 Why does Richie not seem to know that Joey (Tom) has killed Carl Fogarty?
No, he knows Fogarty is dead, that's why he phoned Joey in person, he knew it was pointless sending anyone to bring his Brother to Philadelphia as Joey would just kill them. Richie mentions the past encounter between Joey and Forgarty, because Joey had attacked and permanently wounded Forgerty who was a made guy (soldier) of the Italian-American Philly mob (and killed 2 of his associates). Attacking a made guy of the Philadelphia crime family was totally forbidden amongst the crime families and all its allies without direct consent, so because of Joey's actions Richie was heavily penalised and his promotion to boss of the Irish mob was delayed for years because of this, and as he said he also had to work hard just to get back in with them. Richie was so pissed because of this he even explains it to Joey, implicitly as a reason for ordering his death there and then.
He knows ,that's why he's called him up
Technically the teenage son killed him
Richie knows Tom killed Fogerty (actually Tom's son, but still.....) Richie doesn't give a rat's ass about Fogerty. He's pissed because of all the shit described by Arse Robinson.
@@alyberop1Joey: "I didn't kill Fogarty, my son did."
Richie: "Well, now I gotta kill him too."
*Same Ending*
My favorite:
In this family we don't solve problems by hitting people!
No! in this family we shoot them!
Hahahaha ironically Tom is saved by his son that way at the end of the movie and the he shoots his brother in the face
great genes
HOW could you FUCK THAT UP!!!😆
EVer since this movie I call all of my friends Broheim
My type of violence. :)
How does someone go to the hospital for getting punched in the face three times and kicked in the ribs once, for a bully that’s a weak ass bully
Quel Film.❤
John Connor?
ɷɷ I Haveee Watchedd Thisss Moviee Leakeddd Versionn Heree : - t.co/SjZpZXw5gt
Good Film. Not in the least bit violent.
are you laughing now!!!
0:09 I can't understand any part of this conversation
Besides i only got suspended!
Ha! it's all just a F Fantasy.
4:00-4:02 , 4:05
This film could have been so much better.
And Mrs. Stahl, don't forget ya shoulders.
I kicked the shit out of 3 guys. I’ve never felt bad about it
This is a movie that needs to have a prequel 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
My brother is so violent he bullies me when I'm crying he treats me like a tool I just hate it sure, but feel bad for me cause he is super violent he smacks me on the head!
You leave out the most important scene in the movie and call this best quotes ? Were you drunk when you decided this ?
Where is the scene the whole movie is built around ? It’s nowhere to be found anywhere on CZcams
Are you Joey ? “Yeah , ..... I’m Joey in a thick philly accent. “
Viggo goes from Tom to his real identity. Joey cusack. The killer From philly.
It is inconceivable for me that someone kills his sibling
2 reasons: envy or fear.
Viggo is the only good thing about this movie. Everything else is terrible
WHY! Why so many F words? I'll never forget the first time I heard the F-word from the media, it was on a radio station in Phoenix AZ. I froze. I had 2 young gransons and their mother with me in a motel room. I was always trying to get her to stop using so much vulgarity because it was making it difficult to know what she wanted and it took twice as long to say it and I noticed when she cussed it ramped up her irritation. But point being it is also true of our nation. No self respect, and none for each other. And by the way people who are supposed to be friends are horribly decieved to say they love each other and then call each other the most demeaning slandering and belittling words they can pull from the devil's septic tank. That is not love, and never will be.
Fuck
@@Eliott2410 ...you.
@@noahhyde8769 Non.
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. There now get over it. Besides words are only given the strength we put in them. Cleary these bad words bother way to much. May I suggest not going on the internet. Also this is a movie about a former mob guy flees Philadelphia and starts a new life. Guess what its probably gonna be dark in a lot of ways. It's like you don't even realize what your watching.
this is the worst representation of this movie i've seen. don't waste your time
William Hurt is awful in this film. Let’s the whole film down with his overacting.
Get your brain checked, retard.
Jesus Joey
