- In the movie Sicario, Matt Graver is a CIA operative tasked with removing a cartel boss from Mexico. This video will discuss how his ENTJ personality will serve him on this dangerous mission.
We needed at least one of these Sicario movies every year. High quality stuff.
Every time I find out it was Taylor Sheridan behind it, it just amazes me how good of a writer he is. I've liked almost every ingle one of his shows
why speculate when he says outright No lawyers. He knows he's manipulating the rules to get what he needs and a lawyer would likely stand in the way of that.
Alejandro is a lawyer. And he is on board.
@@wizardofcogAlejandro WAS a lawyer, now he’s a sicario for whoever will point him at the cartels. That’s why he tells Reggie “fuckin lawyers man” when Reggie confronts him about he and Kate being in the dark at the bus stop in Tucson
@@wizardofcog Alejandro USED to be a lawyer. His family was slaughtered, so now he's needed not because of his legal skills, but because of his killing skills, terrain knowledge and his motivation to slaughter those traficantes.
Reggie is on Manuel Diaz payroll. He led Kate to the cowboy bar where Jon Bernthal was waiting. He even goes to chat with him off camera, left Kate waiting at the bar.
Matt knows this.
@@KevinPDunn zero evidence alluded to in order to come that conclusion. Reggie is a rules based law enforcement officer who won’t cross them and therefore renders himself ineffective for the mission. Reggie doesn’t know who’s compromised thus introducing Kate to Ted.
Great video and analysis.
Alejandro is a tool. A maniacal tool motivated by pure revenge. I wished we would have to see more of him. He could be start his own series of movies.
Did we not see that in part 2
@@ScoobieDoobie197474we did
Alejandro was not a tool, he was a friend of Matt and he was cooperating with him because he knew that Matt will help him. Moreover Alejandro was paid by Columbian cartel to kill the drug kingpin. So, Alejandro was not Matt's tool, he was just working with him to get the job done.
@@nilayanghosh9902 You're making a claim that Matt can't be a friend...and use Alejandro as a tool for the mission. It's not an either/or choice. They choices aren't mutually exclusive.
@@carlrosa1130 that's not what I meant. I meant that Alejandro exactly knew what Matt wants from him and Matt exactly knew what Alejandro wants. It was more of a symbiotic relationship, like both helping each other accomplishing the mission.
Never heard of entj, or wizard of cog, but I gotta tell ya-fantastic video. Very well laid out, great editing, and definitely worthy of many many more views. Nice work man
Excellent videos. Can’t wait for more. Bravo
very well put together analysis and script
Well done. This took a lot of hours to produce. Props to you.
This is a fun analysis - I really appreciate someone taking their time to make such a video of my second favorite character in my favorite movie 😃
I took this test from a book about 10 years ago with my friends and wife there. I was an ENTJ and each personality type had a quote that went with it. Mine said “Everything’s fine, I’m in charge”.
I said “that’s not me”. My wife and friends all started laughing hysterically.
“Know thy self”
Hahaha, yes. I'm ENTP and when I took the test I found out my personality is the same as The Joker (from Batman). Like yourself I said "that's not me" and also my family began laughing wildly. We are often blind to what we are, but the Myer-Briggs is helpful to self realization, and the eight cognitive functions even moreso if you want to look even deeper. :)
I am an INTJ. But during work more recently I have been forced to use my Te much more than I would have liked. Both of us have Te, Ni as top cognitive functions, just different order. The reason why you don’t feel “everything is fine”, I am guessing is that, we see dangers coming from all directions. Things only turn out to be fine as an end result, as a result of our efforts but things are definitely not fine in the moment. Outsiders would find us powerful, in charge of things. But we are constantly stressed trying to keep the boat afloat. At least that is my Te, Ni journey.
@@wizardofcog Isn’t the Joker psychopathic??
After taking the ACT test (similar to SAT'S) in high school, the results told me I was most likely to become a paramedic. I laughed uncontrollably as I used to get queezy when seeing broken bones after having a bad sports injury as a kid. Lo and behold, 7 years later I was busting my hump on am ambulance lol
I did the Test in a big corporation, then walked into my boss office, see that result, give me command. 🤦🏻♂️ he found excuses, modern companies are all about rules and regulations
Sweet posters for this film I've never seen. Great video
i love theseeeee great video
Excellent analysis.
DQ. Matt said his reason for not taking the partner was: “No lawyers on this train”.
And yet Alejandro Gillick is a lawyer. ENTJs never say what they mean unless they need too. You are taking what he says as verbatim instead of reading between the lines and understanding what is really going on.
@@wizardofcog it's you who's not reading between the lines. The partner was referred as a "lawyer" because he will question every move they make unlike Katie who just went along with everything.
@@wizardofcog Are you really that stupid or you just pretend to be ?
You always, always only reveal the information you need to in the moment. Never lose control of your narrative.
Benecio del Toro deserves a Oscar
I saw Matt’s questions about Kate’s marital and family status as looking to see if she had any outside commitments or distractions that would interfere with a mission that requires long weird hours, days on end, and significant danger. Of course, in real life, they would’ve already screened the records for somebody like that before bringing her in for a face-to-face, but the movie had to get a point across.
They would ask just to see her answer.
The records can tell you the CORRECT answers beforehand, but the RIGHT answers can only be known by seeing her expression. Is she apprehensive as to what it might mean or is she just confused by the question? Those are two different reactions that can only be seen through her eyes, face, mannerisms when you ask that question in person.
In actuality, Matt needed to make sure her family, if she had one, could not be compromised and susceptible to cartel kidnapping, torture and or murder.
Great vid! IDK if you can do it or not, but the volume difference from your script to the movie is very different, especially with headphones on and when ads play. Keep up the great work!
This is a chill new perspective 👌
Good video was interesting ,videos on true detective season 1 rust and Marty would be great especially on MMs amazing performance
This was one of the best movies I've seen in quite a long time. Maybe a little over the top. But works on every level.
It's plausible.
I can see this channel blowing up with subscribers, great video
Great job young man.
Cheers to your detailed analysis. 👍
Perhaps you could do Lalo Salamanca from the Breaking Bad / Better Call Saul series.
Keith and his partner are not Texas Rangers, they are U.S. Marshals.
You made the same error in your analysis of Alejandro .
U.S. Marshals are federal law enforcement officers responsible for federal prisoner transport and tracking down fugitives.
Texas Rangers are state law enforcement officers that are a branch of the Texas Bureau of Public Safety.
I’m guessing here, but I don’t think Texas Rangers would be used in a covert operation of this type.
The prisoner was taken from a Mexican prison across an international border to an American military base to be interrogated under duress.
The whole operation was attempted to be conducted in secret and was likely illegal.
CIA, FBI, Delta force , US Marshals, and a CIA trained assassin.
No Texas Rangers.
You do realize most deputy marshals are essentially “part time” deputies for the marshal service, and are for all intents and purposes “full time” whatever agency they originate from and are simply “attached” to the marshals service, right? Very few marshals are fully and solely employed by the USMS.
Great movie, very intuitive character description.
i think youve failed to include the obvious point about the deniable "graver" character having been instrumental in creating the cartels, a point perhaps made more explicit in the sequel
Do you have any videos planned about ENFP Campaigners? Especially Assertive Campaigners?
I took the test and that's apparently what I am.
❤
Man, this was a great film!
One of the few movies I own.
No lawyers on this train!
Brolin makes a great spook.
Brolin is brilliant at whatever role he plays. I think he is the best method actor ever.
No he makes a pathetic one.
It could be said that Sicario offers us an alternative to justice that is closer to the law of nature. That is to say, in Sicario the nature of crime is understood and it is fought from its same perspective. Morality has no place in perversion. The laws and rules attached to the penal code are the blah blah blah that applies to other non-existent realities in the hell of this dirty war. Here, relentless vengeance is the closest thing to justice. Alejandro, saves us from suffering the film with rage and with hatred entrenched in our hearts.
I found Kate to simply be a facilitator for the more interesting characters in this movie. I found I had no interest in her as a character at all.
I absolutely agree. I had to dig deep to make a video on her. Thanks for watching. :)
@@wizardofcog This was a really interesting video btw.
She was terrible. Which is why I like the 2nd movie better because she's not in it.
Kate represents America’s last vestiges of the notion of law and order; the notion that kicking in doors and taking down bad guys will eventually produce results. But by the very end of the film she/America must realize that she has to let go of the unsuccessful tactics she has been engaged in and leave the hunting to the wolves. Her character was a necessary stand-in for audiences of the first film but entirely unnecessary by the second.
Graver, the name says it all......
All I know is it's one of the greatest films ever. (Imo).
Saw a video that speculated that Reggie may have been involved with the Cartel. Related to his previous relationship with Ted and his exclusion for most of the movie.
Bingo. He leads Kate to Ted. Even chats with Ted off camera leaving Kate at the bar.
Reggie was also military and would give more push back, causing more friction to the op. Kate is actually greener then Reggie and Matt knew he could string her along like a lost puppy.
@@rabbitcowboysThis is true and a bit more obvious than what we are talking about.
We posit that Reggie is on Manuel Diaz payroll just as Ted was.
All You need is a Guy that goes where he's Sent an keeps their eye on the Time....
3:26 Those are the softest looking hands ever for a supposed gunfighting assassin.
He was a lawyer and is now a CIA operative , he’s not someone working masonry or framing lol.
@@supahotnoodlesapx9588
He's an actor portraying a CIA operative. And this particular detail seems like a contradiction.
Yes they definitely are some soft hands for a tough guy huh? Since everyone wants to get so technical here on this channel apparently. He looks like he the manager at a Ross dress for less, actually that guy might have lest smooth hands than this guy lol
@@reddiver7293 a gunfighter is not going to have rough hands how is this such a difficult thing to understand brother . This is even a trope in western films and books , where gunfighters are noted to have soft hand because of their life of living by the gun
@@supahotnoodlesapx9588
Name two.
I really enjoy your channel. If you're still among the living, I hope that you will be back in position to bring us these videos. Pay no attention to the idiotic critics in your comment section.
Sicario shows how law enforcers got their hands tied up with rules and laws while their enemies got none.
Need to do a video on Steve Forsing (Jeffrey Donovan’s character)
They did a 7 or 8 season prime-time TV show about him called "Burn Notice", in which he used the name Michael Weston.
Delta Force counterterrorists have full authority, from the President, to operate inside the borders of the United States
and likewise, to handle business worldwide. They are the only American military counterterrorists who can, and do, operate clandestine anywhere, stateside and worldwide, both solo and in teams. The movie was very entertaining but the idea that a CIA clandestine services officer would need to bring in an FBI special agent, co-ordinating with a Delta Force counterterrorist team, in order to hunt down a Mexican cartel leader stateside or in Mexico, is simply not true. If Delta Force got the order to hunt down the cartel leader, they would have full legal authority to execute the mission. The second Sicario movie was far closer to the truth.
Delta works with CIA all the time and CIA can’t legally operate on US soil unless attached to an agency that is allowed. The FBI being the domestic intelligence agency and CIA being foreign, the CIA is often attached to FBI when conducting work on US soil
I’m still trying to understand the difference between Ent-j/Int-j types. I am more or less ambivert and my results go back and forth between the two. my introvert/extrovert is 50/50, dead center.
The black dude in the movie had me like..why?...They should have had a Hispanic actor.
Nope it’s better it was person from a different culture. A Hispanic may have had some sort of knowledge on how brutal cartels are and may have had experience of family members dying at the hands of them. Them being both surprised at the situation (and green) helps build Alejandro’s character
Realise I ,m dim..but ..no where is it explained what ENTP :ESTJ : INFJ or ENTJ actually stand for....?
Look up the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI.
It means nothing. It's as scientific as the crap printed in your daily horoscope.
@@michaelwesterland1853lmao, you miserable trolls are everywhere. Let people have their fun. Imagine being so insecure you waste your life taking away joy from others.
Cochran Prison. That's where that 70 show actor is at, I believe?
Keith wasn’t a Texas Ranger. He played a US Marshal
Insightful use of a movie to explore the personality types of the MBTI. Clearly you have studied a bit as this is not your typical CZcams clap-trap on the subject.
I shall follow to see if you repeat your performance. Excellent teaching mechanism.
Fox out
MBTI-Wikipedia:
“The test relies on the Barnum effect, flattery, and confirmation bias, leading participants to personally identify with descriptions that are somewhat desirable, vague, and widely applicable.[5] As a psychometric indicator, the test exhibits significant deficiencies, including poor validity, poor reliability, measuring 'dichotomous' categories that are not actually independent, and not being comprehensive.[6][7][8][9] Most of the research supporting the MBTI's validity has been produced by the Center for Applications of Psychological Type, an organization run by the Myers-Briggs Foundation, and published in the center's own journal, the Journal of Psychological Type (JPT), raising questions of independence, bias, and conflict of interest.” The test is bullshit. Stoppit.
I'm supposed to know what ," ENTJ." Stands for?
Extraverted, Intuitive, Thinking, judging personality, ENTJ-A….also known as the commander is one of the rarest personalities
@@ca40946, Is it rare? I am one, I figured it was not rare.
Bryce, back in the 1990's there was an absolutely bullshit pseudo-scholarly hustle called the "Meyers-Briggs Personality Inventory" or just "Meyers-Briggs".
It's too stupid to describe. Seriously. "ENTJ" was supposedly one of the personality types that could be "revealed" in a test taker.
It was as scientific as the daily horoscope, or astrology, or the spacemen who came down to Earth to build the pyramids.
After being laughed out of existence, apparently it has found new life among the pompous and uneducated. And here they all are.
I understand archetypes exist . But, aren't people perpetually influx in a way ? Like , you behave differently around your co workers than you do around your grandmother , than you do around your friends . And don't you change through your life depending on age or quality of life ? Im curious what makes someone an all encompassing INFJ or ESTJ etc . ?
Good temperament analysis. INTPs?
Hmmm...The Lincoln Lawyer maybe?
The funniest part about this film is the revelation that the CIA needs an FBI attaché to operate in the US.
I am also an ENTJ
Reggie is also dropped, as being a lawyer, he's ideally placed to criticize any 'shithousery' by Graver and co. The last thing you want is someone who knows what you're doing is wrong, and telling you (a Graveresque answer could be 'No shit it's wrong, that's why we're involved.')
Pleas do one about about Tom Cruise and Jamie Fox’s characters from Heat.
Do you mean „Collateral“?
@@lianalibelli3386 Yes. Sorry about that.
@@lianalibelli3386 yes. That is what I mean. I’m not-so-strong with the brain muscles sometimes. Heat does have some good characters though.
The problem is between the studs.
Briggs-Meyer personality type
... which was laughed off the planet decades ago.
I like those tests.
@@MichaelF-cc8ri We all took the M-B test in the '90's, those of us who worked for any BigCorp in the U.S.that was big enough to have a Human Resources department. Do i need to mention we were all (or mostly all) very well educated, college grads or better, engineers, etc.?
We laughed and laughed and compared our lucky letters, i now remember i was an "ISTJ", and we used to make up funny new 4-letter patterns just for fun. Nobody took that goofy test seriously -- honestly, you can enjoy it if you think its cute but its got no more meaning than astrology or dream books or even the Magic 8 Ball.
Stay in school. Don't be influenced by goofy shit like this! 😃
The text to speech really subtracts from the overall presentation of the video.
Agreed. But my real voice sux and I wasn't expecting anyone to actually watch it. Hahaha... I will look into something better. Thanks for the feedback. I really do appreciate it.
He literally said "No lawyers on this train", in clip preciding. So it wasnt about him being green and idealistic. Pay attention to the dialog, espeicially one you use before you add your commentary. Good luck with your next one.
I disagree. The statement was about morals and idealism combined with Reggie's youth and occupation. If he was a Saul Goodman kind of lawyer, a seasoned lawyer without the black and white idealism that comes with inexperience; Matt may have found use for him. ENTJ's do not think the way they speak and Matt just didn't feel the need to explain his thoughts in detail to the gallery. Thanks for the feedback. :)
@@wizardofcogno you are wrong. He doesn't want a lawyer that can understand what is happening. He wants her because she is idealistic. He played her.
The comment was in reference to Reggie not Kate. Kate is not a lawyer. And yes, he did play her. This I agree. Matt plays everyone.
I would also like to add the Alejandro Gillick is a lawyer and he is on the train. ;)
It Is amazing, that Max Is a contractor.... That Is shocking
Most efficient formal relationship in order for him to get his job done
Apparently I'm a ESFJ-A
do you know what "COG" means?.........
What the he is an Echo November Tango Juliet?
It's meaningless, just an acronym for a result from a pseudo-scholarly "testing" hustle that popped up in the 1990's and then got laughed off the planet.
It's as scientific as your daily horoscope.
Good video....
Thanks for the visit
I took the Meyers-Briggs after seeing this video. I had no idea what to expect and really had no knowledge of all the types. Turns out I am an ENTJ! No wonder I find Matt Graver so fascinating.... I admire him. I think I am a weak ENTJ compared to Matt but he gives me something to aspire to.
You should always check your horoscope after taking the M-B, get your palm read, buy a dream book, visit a gypsy fortuneteller and click your heels together three times, just so you get the benefit of all the "science" involved in the M-B test.
Yo this good
Hi… just asking… WHAT DOES ENTJ stand for? Sorry… newbie here.😊
Found it 💙💙💙💙 ENTJ = Extraverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Judging
Myers Briggs pseudo-science bullshit.
The spoikiest spook since George Smiley
Kate is a Karen 😂
Matt… it’s because the cover up.
My name is Ty.
And since when did getting pushed into traffic on the way home from first grade and run over by a CIA contractor start getting classified as a job interview?
What’s and entj
Look up Myers Briggs Type Indicator.
45-46 seconds in.
You're Trevor Doty's father.
Aren't you.
Great kid that you raised.
I hope that he's doing well.
Oh was there something I missed? Interesting I need to look into it. Thankyou. This is the second video I ever made and at the time I was teaching myself Premier Pro. The video sat on almost zero views for around 58 days before it blew up. Why it exploded I have no idea. I didn't check back in on the channel until last week.
@@wizardofcog just facial resemblance indicative of heredity, as confirmed later by a number of abstract associations that add up to, well, confirmation statistically.
He's good people, I'd be willing to wager, based on the character of his son.
Do an INTJ!!
Walter White perhaps?
ENTJ?
Yes, It Means NOTHING.
@@rrrt01
It’s science, it’s not fool proof, however there is enough data to correlate to the truths about each personality types.
ENTJ is a Myer-Briggs personality type. Myer-Briggs is a boiled down interpretation of Carl Jung's Psychological Types. It asssumes there are 16 personalities that humans can be categorised into, however it is not a complete science, but a good starting point for people wanting to explore cognitive behaviour.
Hey there. For your info, the Meyers-Briggs personality test is pseudoscience
mid
All science is theory. Myer-Briggs is based on the writings of Carl Jung, namely his book "Psychological Types", however the inventors were not considered academics. A discussion of the validity of this personality test would make a great video. Thanks for the idea.
And yet, Covid vaccines are considered solid science. Weird huh.
@@wizardofcog your understanding of science is flawed. It takes a lot of repetition for science to become established theory. The Meyers-Briggs hypothesis failed to establish itself with testable results. Also, Carl Jung's works are pretty much all debunked at this point.
why do i get the impression that you don't paint all social sciences - all of which are theoretical - with the same broad stroke
I could have done without Kate
Matt's ENTJ but Alejandro is an INFJ..😂 again.. Myers-Briggs Test been discredited 100x an sounds like astrology "oh you're a Sagittarius so you're this or that" ..complete nonsense! if you're film analysis was strictly about the film and characters minus that personality type bogus nonsense maybe more views.
If you're going to use the acronym ENTJ in the title of the video and every 45 seconds, maybe it's a good idea to define what the acronym ENTJ stands for, otherwise it just comes off as dramatics, annoying and obnoxious all at the same time, and for no good reason.
For anyone wondering what ENTJ is its Extrovert, Intuitive, Thinking, Judgement. this whole classification thing is just a dude-horoscope.
FBI CANT RUN EITHER
Whoa dude, what are you smoking?
I don't do drugs. Maybe I should?
Don’t do it.
ENTJ?
So its a personality set. It stands for... no idea BUT in the military and security setting it can descrive what type of learder you are. Which is why its so perfect for sicario
