'The story that hardly happened'

25th Hour

The last paragraph is very exciting. Does "the story that hardly happened" refer to the extra 25 hours? Looking back on the whole film, it seems that many of the stories are "stories that hardly happened", just like the encounter between the male protagonist and the dog, the encounter with his lover, and the encounter with the drug business, just like the kiss between the teacher and the 17-year-old student. Like the stocks that Wall Street friends almost sold in advance...

It's a bit similar to Colin Firth's "Single Man". On the last day of a major turning point in life, life, friendship, family, and love are all magnified and examined.

Although there is some "talking" temperament, the wonderful director, script and soundtrack still construct an unforgettable life fable. The soundtrack blends the exotic with the religious sensibilities of The Godfather.

Ed's way of saying hello to the little boy from the window pane is a miracle.

25th Hour quotes

  • Monty Brogan: [puts abused dog in the trunk] I'm trying to help you, you little prick! Huh? Come on, come on... quién es más macho? Monty es más macho!

    Kostya Novotny: What goes on in your little head?

    Monty Brogan: Little the tricks, little the quicks... boom, bam, snap!

    Kostya Novotny: Yeah... little tricks, little quicks. You're bleeding, you get bite.

    Monty Brogan: Dog's blood. You gotta learn to relax a little bit... live a little.

    Kostya Novotny: You have hole in neck and blood is coming out.

    Monty Brogan: A little love bite for saving his raggedy ass.

    Kostya Novotny: Rule number one; you can not grab half-dead animals! We have people waiting for us! People with money! You want to play this cowboy, no... dogboy, in the middle of the highway.

    Monty Brogan: Dogboy? That's funny, Kotsya... you really mastered the language.

    Kostya Novotny: Yes, funny... funny. You're bad luck... you bring bad luck on me. Always everything that can go wrong, go wrong. It's not just you and me anymore, when we go out... it's you and me and Doyle.

    Monty Brogan: Who's Doyle?

    Kostya Novotny: Doyle! Doyle's law. What?

    Monty Brogan: It's Murphy.

    Kostya Novotny: Who is Murphy?

    Monty Brogan: Who's Murphy? Who's Doyle! It's Murphy's law... "whatever can go wrong, will go wrong"?

    Kostya Novotny: Him, yes!

    Monty Brogan: Yes, him.

  • Kostya Novotny: I pick her out special just for you.

    Monty Brogan: The last girl you picked out special for me had three teeth, all in the back.

    Kostya Novotny: Funny you should say that.

    [laughs]

    Monty Brogan: Why? Why is it funny I should say that?

    Kostya Novotny: What you say, it was funny.

    Monty Brogan: Kostya, you can't... when you...

    Monty Brogan: It's an expression. If you say that...

    Frank Slaughtery: It's a, uh, euphemism, right?

    Monty Brogan: Can you explain this? You're the English teacher.

    Jakob Elinsky: Uh...

    Jakob Elinsky: I think what he means, Kostya, is that when you say, "Funny you should say that," that means that it reminds you of a funny story.

    Monty Brogan: Exactly.

    Kostya Novotny: No, no. It was funny what you say... "Funny you should say that."

    Monty Brogan: It still makes no fucking sense. This is what I deal with.
