Tony Soprano will be out the first week of October following the release of Many Saints of Newark. I know everyone is eagerly awaiting its release so I thought I’d give anyone who doesn’t know its release date this update. Noah Cross from Chinatown will be out next week!
Do you know why your commodus video is blocked in certain countries? I, and others are currently unable to view the video from my country and I am just woneeding if you could give an answer as to why.
@@itsyaboyjesus5346 I put a comment on the top of that video that explains it's due to copyright issues I'm trying to resolve. I'll make an announcement to make it more clear, I thought it would have been resolved by now but Paramount is being finicky.
@@TheVileEye Thank you, I hope the copyright issue gets resolved soon. Your videos are great entertainment and I would hate to be unable to see any of them.
I've been waiting for Tony since you announced it in the Walter White video. I'm looking forward to it
John Huston! Huzzah! Keep the greats coming!
Fun fact - when Stansfield screams “EVERYONE!!” Oldman meant to do it as a gag to mess around. To his surprise they liked it so much they kept it in.
It's astounding, that him just wanting to be silly, is probably the most memorable moment of the movie.
I've got that as my text message alert.
@@maratonlegendelenemirei3352 lol excellent
@@koeman1873 It still shits me up everytime after so many years.
Why would he mean to make a blooper? I don't believe you, that doesn't make sense.
I love Norman's character so much. This is how you portray a person who is a complete lunatic without going over the top. You simply can't go wrong with Gary Oldman.
I completely disagree: this is exactly what I think of when someone utters the phrase, "over the top," and I loathe Norman so much as a character because of it. He is beyond the stratosphere of "out there." I think Oldman has an obsession with freakish characters (notably Zorg of THE FIFTH ELEMENT). Norman is unquestionably evil, but I don't love him for it. I don't even love to hate him. He's disgusting to me. That said TVE did a superb job of spotlighting the character.
@@sovereigndayyouthkafir3943 If you hate him, then why did you watch an entire video about him?
@@aydenmoesser8556 Several reasons: I love the movie of which Norman is a part; I enjoy the channel we're both on; listening to TVE is a soothing experience simply by virtue of his voice. I don't have to like a character in order to watch the channel. Indeed, the only videos I've skipped thus far are because I didn't want spoilers and the videos about the villain of The Legend of Zelda because I didn't play the game enough to be invested in the character. I am invested in Norman. I hate him, but I'm invested. Savvy?
@@sovereigndayyouthkafir3943 Thanks for explaining that. I'm certainly the same way, only Norman is one of my favorite movie villains of all time, right alongside Alex Delarge, Anton Chigurh, Col. Hans Landa, Elliot Carver, and The Joker.
true, being lunatic without being edgy
*"I take no pleasure in taking life if it's from a person who doesn't care about it."*
This villain was vile, sadistic, and unforgivable, yet quite entertaining and funny as hell to watch.
He was the epitome of a character that I hate to love.
"Death is whimsical today." I always wondered what Stanfield meant by that when he was told that Malky had been killed by Leon. Also, just to add as a side note, that the music choice for this movie adds so much to the story. I always get a sense of bittersweet when Matilda goes back to her school, plants Leon's plant in the grass and says "I think we'll be okay here" as Sting's Shape of my Heart plays. Every actor in this film really brought their A game.
The plant Leon has is an Aglaonema, also a Chinese evergreen. They were incredibly popular in the late 80s and early 90s. The plant is one which will die if it’s roots spread too far. So she actually kills the plant by letting it be free and planted. Some argue this was deliberate because it signifies Matilda letting the plant be free then die in peace, exactly what Leon went through. Other argue that the prop department just grabbed a common house plant and overlooked the species of plant.
"You don't like Beethoven! You don't know what your missing! Overtures like that tend to get my juices flowing! So powerful! But to be honest, after his openings, he does tend to get a little f***ing boring..."
I love that line!
''That's why I stopped!'' *Proceeds to cackle maniacally*
@@aknight6480 "Your a Mozart fan! I LOVE MOZART! He was Austrian you know!"
@@keepcalmlovedinosaurs8934 No it's ''I *LOOOOVE* Mozart!''
@@aknight6480 "For this kind of work, he's a little bit light. So I tend to go for the heavier guys!"
One of Gary Oldman's greatest roles was as Beethoven in Immortal Beloved. Great film.
If you were to describe this character in a few words it would be “dirty cop”. However, the small and subtle details that are added makes him such an iconic and well written villain. Not to mention the perfect portrayal of Gary Oldman which makes him seem so genuine
Gary Oldman, what a great actor. He had a short bit, but I think my favourite "out there" character he ever played was Drexel from True Romance. He's so ... repulsive, its kind of incredible.
Can’t go wrong with Oldman
Gary Oldman can avoid eye contact with the best. He does it in a sociopathic way in this film, but deferentially with Batman. Homie was great in Harry Potter, too.
Shebang! Agreed. I think he is one of the few actors who can manage to make characters with little screen time so memorable. He is also incredibly good in lead roles(Mank and Darkest Hour are good examples). To be short, he shines with whatever he is given and I believe he is a complete actor who can play everything. He is criminally underrated if you take his talent into consideration.
I love him as a villain so much. Fifth Element, Book of Eli, JFK, Air Force One, True Romance. This movie, of course. He's a legend.
I heard Gary Oldman improvised the "EVERYONE!!" line because he was sick of the director Luc Besson constantly making him do so many takes of that particular scene.
That’s freaking awesome if True!
Another story from Oldman...he told the audio engineer he was going to do it, so the guy could prepare for the volume change. Then he let fly with his, " EVERYONE! "
The thing I love most about this character is how he is slowly reaching a pinnacle of nihilistic corruption of power and, if not for crossing paths with his foil in Leon, he might have gone on to leverage his authority in the system for quite some time. Leon forces Stansfield’s hand in an unstoppable force(berzerk, powerful Stansfield) meets immovable object (principled, skilled Leon) way that I just never get tired of.
I don't know about that. I think he'd already reached that pinnacle and was getting sloppy on his chase for the next high. Already his murder of Mathilda's family had attracted unwanted attention from other law enforcement. The guys working for him had "mercenary thug" written all over them. And calling basically the whole NYPD on Leon - he'd have had a lot of explainin' to do if he hadn't died. I got the impression that this was a man burning through his (admittedly large) reserves of impunity.
Slowly reaching?? He was already there dude! What movie did you watch? It was nothing about his introduction that gave a hint of him having morals or positive standards.
Great analysis. Such a great film
@@wadewilson8011Leon pushed him off the edge. He was already walking that edge in the beginning. Then he screwed with the wrong girl, who in turn brought him to the face of the man who could end him
@@adamjenkins190 again, you have a problem processing information. I don't understand it to be any other way. Stanfield was already corrupt and and a total narcissistic P0S. He murdered Matilda's entire family and thought that was everyone. He had no remorse, no second thoughts about it. Leon only forced him to play his cards to conceal his involvement and to continue to hide his corruption. you two have a complete misconception of his character. Again, did you just watch this video, or did you watch the ACTUAL MOVIE? because you're making no sense.
Me: I wonder who would enjoy this video?
Norman: *EVERYONEEEEEEE*
Beat me to it
**INHALES**
ᵉᵛᵉʳʸᵒⁿᵉ
Hahahahaaha
Lololololol!!!
Damnit!
Such a cool movie, where the “good guy” cop is an insane psychopath, and the “bad guy” hitman has principles & a heart of gold. A fascinating exploration of laws, lawlessness, morals and shades of grey.
Sociopath*

Probably my favorite thing Gary oldman does is where he splits the beaded curtain with his hands, idk why but I just love that little detail.
Totally! I've been doing the exact same thing when I go through a beaded doorway curtain, all thanks to that bit.
I remember when the movie first came out he did that I said OK this guy is totally crazy. Gary Oldman is definitely one of my favorite actors love him to death
Classic
yesss. also in true romance the way he opens the envelope as Drexel. I've never opened my mail without it in my mind since.
Gary oldman is the 🐐
This was one of my favorite films growing up, and Oldman’s Stansfield was an unforgettable tour de force. He was id personified, acting without restraint or hesitation, gleefully ruthless and casually homicidal in a way that only the insane can manage. Really was a joy to see that character pulled apart and examined, thanks a lot!
Mine too, I seen it a number of times through high school. I haven’t watched it again in some years now, but it’s now time for a rewatch.
I've seen Leon: The Professional in it's entirety twice and with my father no less three years ago.
I’d like to see Del Toro’s character from Sicario.
Nice! 👍👍
pin this comment please
can you even call him evil at all? I wouldn't.
@@Gadget-Walkmen he killed two children
@@nullvalue9901 If they were 18, than he wouldn't be evil?
YES
There's no words worthy enough to describe how good Gary Oldman was in this film! An absolutely phenomenal actor
To say Oldman is chewing the scenery with this performance would be an understatement. He practically ate the entire set and had the cast and crew for dessert.
i JUST watched Taxi driver and Leon the Professional 2 days ago, its uncanny how two episodes on Travis and Norman have come out in the last few days.
I can’t get over how consistent and quality your uploads are
Going from this character to Detective Gordon just shows the versatility of Gary Oldman. 🙌
Exactly. Peep his character in True Romance he plays any character well
better yet Smiley in tinker tailor solider spy.
@@lordoffaiyum9727 Drexl is amazing, his mannerism, accent, the noises he makes..
His dialogue offcourse
' that makes us practically related'
' we got ourselves a motherf.. Charlie Bronson here'
'It ain't white boy's day is it'
'I like these little calm moments before the storm'
definitely my favorite Gary Oldman performance and that's saying a lot. awesome analysis
Such a great film. So glad to see this character done.
Yeah agree with you here.
Classic movie
The guy really loves his tan suit. He wears it in every single scene he appears in.
Best scene i have ever watched by Natalie Portman, was the "Please open the door line" that scene was as intense of a scene as i have ever watched...
Black Swan
in4mus85 my first thought to haha
I fucking LOVE Gary Oldman; easily a top 10 of all-time actor for me.
Love him as Mr Smiley, totally different character to Norman which shows the range he has!
I would go as far as to say he is the greatest actor of all time.
10? He's honestly the greatest actor in decades.
@@thegunslinger1363 facts
right there with young Pacino
I feel this is Oldman in his best form. He was so good in this film!
The Vile eye is the best youtube channel out rn
Same here.
what about BluYem ?
Gary Oldman is a true thespian and this character showcases that he can really play any role from a hero, villain or in-between.
I’d love Harvey Keitels character from Bad Lieutenant, def one of the most complex and sickening portrayals of a corrupt cop
So brutal to watch though.
That flick is indeed something else.
I like when he tugged his tadger against the drivers door whilst the two girls were present.
I like Zoe Lund
Amazing performance, Keitel killed it in that role
Gary Oldman is one of my favorite actors. A bit underrated. He can literally play EVERY role you could possibly throw at him.
Underrated???? You use that term too loosely to express your fondness of an actor. It's silly to do that. Gary Oldman is one of the most revered, respected, and recognized actors of his generation. His versatility puts him on par as a modern day Lon Chaney. There's nothing underrated about him. If you ask anybody who knows what the hell they're talking about when it comes to actors and movies.... they'll say that Gary Oldman is one of the very best.
@@wadewilson8011 yessss the New 'Man of a Thousand Faces'- 'It ain't white boy day' said so ironically, from the mouth of a white pimp character, is one of my favorite deliveries, of all time.
He's not underrated at all he's revered by many as one of the finest actors to have ever lived which he obviously is, if you can invest yourself into a character to the point where it doesn't even register that you're watching an actor anymore then you are a genius and Gary is in my opinion the best actor of all time
Didn’t he play Sirius Black? He isn’t underrated
@@zekeedwards7904 Leonardo Di Caprio said his role in State Of Grace was inspiration for him to became actor
I'm pretty sure this was considered an 'underground' movie at the time. I was like 10 when I watched it with my older sister. But Gary Oldman deserved an Academy Award nom for this. He was absolutely terrifying and it still holds up to this day.
Norman Stansfield deserves his own movie.
He’s very strangely and very weirdly…likeable because of his (although sadistic and psychopathic nature) but energetic, humorous, sharp and insanely deranged but not extremely perverted either 🤷🏻♂️🙂
I've never considered Stan as insane. He's a power hungry sadist
Benzos are a helluva drug 💊💊
Honestly, this guy has to be one of my favorite cinema villains of all time. He manages to add something truly special to each and every single scene that features him, to the point where you might as well make a whole film focusing on him given how memorable he is as a character. Not to mention that Gary Oldman has always been and will always be the absolute maestro at disappearing in his characters, as if they were all each their own distinct individual. I also think that you might wanna take a look at his act in Dracula. A truly iconic rendition of an equally iconic character.
"That's why I stopped." Is the moment that chills the most for me. The unhinged glee that passes over his face, half crying, half laughing. Focused chaos. That was the moment I knew I was seeing something special.
Gary oldman can play absolutely terrifying characters. the mans skills as an actor are off the charts
I would love to see Billy Bob Thornton character from the Fargo tv series, love your content, thanks
I second this.
That is a straight up sociopath. Wolf on 2 legs. I want to see it too.
@@Kollin011 I'd argue complete psychopath, absolutely no semblance of humanity whatsoever
@@DrSPF23 They are similar. A psychopath wouldn't get outraged at injustice.
@@Kollin011 When did Lorne Malvo get outraged at injustice? He revels in it.
So glad you made this one! One of my favourite villains ever. The scene where he takes out Mathilda's family hit me pretty hard. I was probably younger than her the first time I seen the movie. Loved the movie though. What a brilliant ending.
I love Gary Oldman's drug induced contortions. When I seen Joaquin's Joker do it I was reminded of Norman Stansfield straight away.
One of the scariest villains ever, amazing how all of his goons were scared shitless all the time lol.
the acting by Oldman is so high level
to the point that only recently I realized that this was Gary Oldman that played this character
I think it’d be nice to hear your analysis on Tom Ripley in The Talented Mr. Ripley. I like your articulation and psychological breakdown of the characters you’ve analyzed in this series.
Yes! I recently watched that and I would love an analysis
Agree. And he has a book counterpart - a lot to pull from
Yeaaa....Tom is an INTJ personality....who is an intelligent pianist...who can tell lies,forge signatures,impersonate people...and can change his sexual orientation according to given situation....he wasn't bisexual...he was alone..
New to this channel and I love how you start your “hello” when the character starts to move their mouth 😆
That part made me laugh
Unique and interesting characters like Stansfield is the reason that Léon: The Professional is such a great film. I've mentioned before that I suspected that Norman had some sort of trauma that had a huge negative effect on his life as he must have been some what normal at some point in order to make it through the Police academy and make it up to the DEA. I suspect the side we see of him the the film is the darkest side of his persona however the facade he usually creates in public such as around the office is probably a lot more of normal person in order to fly under the radar. The clip of him walking into the police station for example we can see him casually saying hi to uniform officers that obviously have no clue of his true personality.
Norman Stansfield is probably somewhere in my top ten best cinema villains of all time. A very strange yet entertaining character to see due to the magnificent portrayal of Gary Oldman. There is one villain I would be interested in seeing a video for and that would be Gorden Gekko from Wall Street (1987).
Could you do Agent Smith from the Matrix? I know it's an A.I. character but he goes through some remarkable character developments throughout the trilogy. Amazing video as always!
This is a good one
The Vile Eye’s voice reminds me a bit of the agent’s too! Great choice!
It’s been don already
@@Lucifermaristar not by him
Smith isn't evil. Smith can't be evil. Smith is a part of overall software so it (Smith) is operating off of a certain kinda logic
Gary Oldman is my favorite - and the best actor that ever lived.
He's a legend butt don't know about that
@@justinhunt4767 Name an actor with a better range.
@@cameronmcpherson6364 Johnny Depp has range Robin Williams has range but I think Daniel Day-Lewis is a little better but not by much as far as range also just range alone doesn't qualify you as the best actor there are other aspects to acting as far as vulnerability charm and other areas also how many movies did you come out with and how many were good
@@cameronmcpherson6364 Pacino?
Gary Oldman is easily one of the greatest actor's of all time. 🇬🇧
The dichotomy between Stansfield and Leon, one being absolutely off the cuff and the other strictly routined… and a girl changes them both to meet in the middle of that structure… genius. I’d love to see a movie about Norman’s descent to carefree madness during his career/life.
That "Soon" at the end of the videos always feels like a veiled threat and I love it.
You should do Vic Mackey from the Shield, trully a fascinating character and portrayal of evil. Keep making vids like you're making and you'll surely reach the 500 thousand mark soon.
This is a channel about evil, not chaotic good lol
So binary.
Vic Mackey... Evil?
that show is so disturbing =[
If there was a truly evil character on that show, it would be Armadillo.
Oldman Deserved the Best Supporting Actor for this incredible Acting as a Bad Guy !
@The Vile Eye
I've come to realize that your delivery of "Hello everyone" is your calling card as most serial killers have one. And as an investigator, your tonality and brevity revolves back to your own continuous crimes. Which is, making arguably the best content on CZcams I've ever seen. But as well, your finishing line of "And I'll be seeing you... Soon." Is just as much of an obsession into your kill. Bravo.
Léon: The Professional is my favorite movie, thank you for doing this video!!!!
Awesome movie! My favorite role Gary Oldman has played
Brendan Breyer from bright burn, Sid 6.7 from virtuosity, Ramsey Bolton and joffrey baratheon from game of thrones, and Martin Asher/James Costa from taking lives
This guy was soooo goddamn good. Gary Oldman nailed his role here
Love this character. Gary oldman is amazing
Gary Oldman is a legend.
Leon is one of my top movies of all time partly because Gary Oldman absolutely nailed that role.
Do ya like Norman though?
Apparently, Oldman had many chances to get weird. Sniffing the father, for instance, was unscripted. That really freaked out the actor! Portman said she didn't have to act scared in the bathroom scene because Gary's performance terrified her. And he really looked stoned after biting those capsules. Altogether, a brilliant characterization of a screwed up dude.
I hadn't watched this film in a long, long time. It's such an incredible performance from Oldman. Love it. Your analysis, as always, is spot on Vile. Great work brother.
You can’t deny, Norman definitely has a passion for music. And unlike, say, Patrick Bateman, there’s not a hint of pretentiousness to it. Norman just really loves classical music and likes chatting about it with people. Of course, that one little detail about him that’s normal just makes him more unpredictable. Even when Norman is acting all chummy, you’re always aware that he’s gonna go ax-crazy again soon. And you just need to pray to whatever deities you believe in that you’re not in his line of fire.
I often find myself walking away from your videos with expanded wisdom and a new lens through which I can view the material at hand. Your perspective is always so valued and clinical. Keep up the great content 👍
Dracula, Beethoven, Lord Shen, Sirius Black, Sid Vicious, Winston Churchill, Lee Harvey Oswald, Carnegie, Comissior Gordon, a Russia Terrorist, US Senator, 1930s Gangster, and Zorg. Gary Oldman is one of the best actors of all time.
Dudr don't forget Drexl Spivey. Fucken awesome character.
He’s always entertaining, especially when playing villains, like Norman Stansfield and Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg.
Yes, yes , yes. This is the best gift I received this day so far!!!
i would have loved to see a prequel to the movie focused on Norman Stansfield. Such a great character in one of the best movies of all time. hands down.
It’s not just your organizing of content, your voice and pacing is absolutely uncanny. Thank you for sharing your gifts. I look forward to your uploads to take me away from the mundane everyday.
Fun factoid: Matilda's dad in this, is also George 'Babyface' Nelson in 'Where For Art Thou Brother?'
Its oh brother where art thou
Ruined the amusement...
Finally an explanation of the most out of control villain I've seen in a movie.
Norman stansfield is the scariest villian ever. No paint, no knife, no dr. satan, nothing to make him a stand out. He is awesome a dea agent that has “everyone” behind him.
I love the hell out of how you do these videos without solidly spoiling things. While we do know how things play out thanks to your info, you can only truly experience things when you actually watch the movie. This one has been on my watch list for a LONG time, but I keep putting it off. I think that will change in the near future
I discovered your series couple of weeks ago and I was secretly hoping you'd cover this character some day. It has to be my favorite performance by Gary Oldman. Now, if you decide to do Clarence Boddicker from Robocop at some point, I'm pretty sure you've touched on all of my favorite movie villains.
Great series! Very entertaining and well researched videos. Keep up the good work!
+1 to the Boddicker request.
This is one of my FAVORITE characters that Gary Oldman played. Kinda reminds you of a homicidal Jack Sparrow.
Been waiting for this one for as long as I’ve watched your channel. Thanks for getting to one of my favorite villains!
The thing with Stansfield’s delusional philosophy of killing people who value life, is such a brilliant gag for his character and makes him one of the most cruelest, vile, evil and psychotic movie villains ever put to screen. I like to think he started out as just being corrupt and his drug abuse just made him worse, like he’s become so addicted to it that one day he just snapped and decided other people’s lives were meaningless to him.
I love the scene when Léon is walking towards the light, towards freedom and then Stansfield comes out of the shadows and snuffs his life out, but then Léon returns the favour. Absolutely amazing writing and a perfect end to both hero and villain
This is in my opinion Gary Oldman’s best role, he’s such a master at his craft and such a versatile actor
Awesome choice! Zorg would be sweet too. Gary Oldman is one of the best actors of our time.
I’d like to see The Vile Eye analyze Gary Oldman’s villainous role in The Contender: Shelly Runyon.
Love the channel, Vile! Would love to see any of the many villains portrayed by Stephen Lang, maybe the totally over the top Khalar Zym from Conan the Barbarian 2011 or his Colonel Miles Quaritch from Avatar. Also, Ron Perlman's portrayal of Clay Morrow would make a rather interesting topic IMHO. Thanks for all the many cool insights, my friend. Adventure ever on, Phat
'Twas a great experience seeing this film on my birthday a few weeks ago. Stansfield is an amazing villain and Gary Oldman's performance makes the character 10x better
Gary Oldman absolutely crushes any role he takes on. Zorg is another great example.
This is great, I just watched this movie last night for the first time in like a decade.
Holy shit, my wish finally came true. Thank you, Vile Eye. 😍
The famous everyone scream is one of the best scenes in cinema Gary couldn't screen that word any better
He played this part so very well. Great film overall, especially that ending.
Gary Oldman is one of the greatest actors of all time.
Hey dude , would love to see Jake la motta from Martin Scorsese's classic , Raging Bull.
Been waiting for this one!!!
Touche!
We thank you, again.
I absolutely love your channel and you are spot on with your comments! In fact, you have helped me understand the characters that much better! Cheers love and keep up the good work! More videos please!! 🥰🙏🏻
U should do analyzing evil on the illusive man from mass effect series.
It’s interesting that he was taking a benzo, I’d always thought it was supposed to be something hard.
Benzos aren't exactly mild, though. Especially at higher doses.
@@WobblesandBean nah benzos are pretty mild; they’re about the most tame drug you could imagine being used in such a manner in the movie. It’s been a (long) while since I watched it, but I recall thinking it was some kind of speed or something to make his experience more exhilarating, definitely wasn’t thinking of a sedative, something to help him relax.
@@amphg7647Thought the same thing.
Yess! Thank you! I was one of the people who requested this one :)
i was excited to see you’d analyzed Stansfield as The Professional is one of my all-time faves. love your channel!
You need to do one on Tom Hardy’s character from The Revenant (2015) : John Fitzgerald.
Clarence Boddicker from Robocop please. One of the best villains ever!
Omg you are the best!
I swear, every time I see a notification for a new episode I get so excited
Gary Oldman is such an incredible actor. Been my favorite since I was a preteen. About 30 years. The guy just absolutely crushes any role he plays.
Btw, you forgot to point out the fact that he had no qualms about murdering Matilda's infant brother. To me that's a factor that measures Stansfield's level of evil.
Well, he wasnt the one that actually kills her little brother, but...yea. he doesn't seem to care that the kid got killed during his little raid
He didn’t directly kill the boy, but obviously he would have. Since it was his full intention to kill the entire family. And obviously he was directly responsible for the other three. Of course Mathilda didn’t see what happened anyway, but she knows he’s responsible.
Do a video about the warden in the movie "The Last Castle". He is the warden in a military prison competing for power against an influential general who's locked up under his supervision.
That would be a good one, good idea!
Gandolfini?
@@weztait39 yes
Dany De Vito's rendition of Penguin in Batman Returns would present a lot of material. A very underrated performance, and the film provides a lot background re his childhood.
Dude youve been doing back to back BANGERS. I applaud you sir.
Joe Goldberg from the Netflix show “You” would be an interesting villain to cover
