The Chaiirman was probably the woman who told him "She's not in there." How would a stranger know who he was looking for.
Don't listen to that angel! He couldn't even stop Palpatine from becoming Chancellor!
"You're that guy running for Senate, aren't you?"
"I am that guy... yeah. Are you a registered New York voter?"
"Do I sound like I am?"
Fun Fact: The phone number given to Matt Damon by Emily Blunt in the movie is owned by Universal Studios and has appeared in other films distributed by the company in an effort to avoid the much overused "555" prefix. If called, it will ring indefinitely.
Damon Interrupted Fact: According to Emily Blunt, filming at the Statue of Liberty was frequently interrupted by onlookers yelling out "Matt Damon!" in imitation of the puppet from Team America: World Police (2004).
MCU Connection Fact: Matt Demon, Anthony Mackie, and John Slattery all play parts in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Anthony Mackie plays Falcon in a number of movies. John Slattery plays Howard Stark in some movies. Matt Damon had an unrecognizable cameo in Marvel's Thor: Ragnarok (2017) as the stage actor playing Loki.
I love this movie and I first learned about it because I saw a trailer for it before I film I saw in 2011 and when I finally found it at a Black Friday Walmart sale one year and watched it I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The film is based on a story by Philip K. Dick who also did the stories that became the films:
Total Recall,
Blade Runner,
Next,
Minority Report,
A Scanner Darkly,
And Man in the High Castle to name a few.
Also for this film there was an alternate ending which the studio unfortunately overrode as we were actually supposed to see the chairman and it was going to be a woman.
That would have been an interesting ending!
@@alexachipman so boring here at the funeral home 😭
💛going to a funeral for a family member been up since 5:30am
Thanks! Truly I can’t recommend your amazing apparition for the film more, you just seem to take a phenomenal perspective!
I don't know if you've seen the movie "Source Code" but if you ever decide to react to it, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on the story.
I will add your vote (I don’t decide on any movies - purely audience driven)
@@alexachipman Noted. Thanks for adding it in with the rest for consideration! 🙂
One of the best and most under-rated movies ever along with 'Moon' from the same scriptwriter.
I loved this movie. The chemistry between the two leads was incredible. I have such a crush on Emily Blunt.
Don’t we all!
0:39 No, That's Clarence
Thank you for this, Alexa. I agree.
Shohreh Aghdashloo was hired to play the version of the Chairman who appeared to David and her scenes were filmed during principal photography. The studio then ordered her scenes to be cut because they felt audiences wouldn’t respond well to a woman born a Muslim portraying “God”.
It would be interesting to watch with the scenes back in!
I recommend the film "The Secret of Roan Inish" an Irish film.
This movie reminds me of a film called "A Dog's Purrpose" ;) and "A Dog's Journey", about a dog that keeps coming back to life to look for his previous owner. Basicly the first movie/novel seemed to be 4 short stories. Nope didn't find him in this life, maybe next life. The second movie/novel is a bit better, and each story actually has more to do with the others. The dog's 'free-will' to look after the person that he cared for. The love story at the end of part film 2 seems a bit like this love story.
I dunno, the idea of "God" or "Destiny" manifested as a sort of incompetent bureaucracy playing a big game of snakes and a ladders with people lives would explain a lot really. .... Fun reaction as always. Be well
I Love This Movie
This looks really interesting. Politics and shadowy figures "adjusting" the timeline (or some such thing). Are they angels? I think I herd one of them say that. I guess a heaven intervening realm controlling everyone and everything. I loved Merlin, but some of the "destiny" in the story made me feel like if they just adjusted certain actions and stopped thinking of certain people only based on that destiny it could have been so different.
Lovely movie.
Hello
My first guess was a political thriller....and we get time travellers that hate happiness....how wrong could I be??
This film isn’t about fate or god or anything so exoteric. It’s about Doors . . . Of Perception. Those who fall to concepts of fate or god’s plan are mere Basic/Beast/Base Thinkers. They cannot perceive anything more than that. No Reflection (what Mt Sinai means). No self-mastery. No higher consciousness. Higher perception is attained only by those who have true freedom: Free Will, Free Thought, and the discipline to use it. Everyone else may as well be controlled by a cosmic bureaucracy. They are already: Told what to think and believe by the media machine, religion, "science" and all the rest of so-called humanity's compromises.
Notice the finale of this film, where the ‘plan changes’, is at the highest peak: Pineal Position. Higher Consciousness. True Freedom.
Re: Free will. The most extreme example of that "God's plan" attitude is people who think God sits back and allows demonic possession. And then judges them on the bad things the demon does. What? Come on. Not into possession flicks because of that. Instead of an exorcist, a philosopher should come in, and go "Satan, you're bad at logic".
