This was originally a short review

But it seems a little longer. So I put it into the film review, but it seems to be a little short.

love this movie. That last shot just doesn't fit anymore. The spoiler line is actually intuition at the beginning that Caesar is a cripple, but not because of the reasoning plot, but because of years of experience in watching various stories... Many of the stories after this movie use the same routine. Seemingly harmless characters, weak characters and physical flaws, left off the stage and suspect lists from the beginning, plots deliberately directed towards the most suspicious people, etc. etc... I've been in the past few years I have seen many stories written like this. I like the last few minutes, the fast dialogue playback coupled with the flashing clues on the screen, I admire this ability to "open my eyes and talk nonsense" (mistakenly). If only I knew how to do it.... And pretending to be a cripple for so many years is really amazing. When I was a child, I seemed to have heard someone say something like "Did he pretend to be a lame for three years to kill people?"...

In the end, yes, that's what I'm talking about.

    Guessed the plot from the beginning, Spacey's dead face must have been the last laugh.

    What the hell is the cripple doing like this, he lacks a fundamental foothold. In addition, from the very beginning, it has been constantly reminding that the cripple is Caesar, and the more you keep belittling and ridiculing a certain person, the more indirectly telling us that this person will eventually get better. The cripple really hurts

The Usual Suspects quotes

  • Kobayashi: Before you... do me in, Mr. McManus, you will let me finish my business with Ms. Finneran first, won't you?

    Keaton: What did you say?

    Kobayashi: Edie Finneran. She's upstairs in my office for an extradition deposition. I requested that she be put on the case personally. She flew in yesterday. No matter. Kill away, Mr. McManus.

  • Verbal: He lets the last Hungarian go. He waits until his wife and kids are in the ground and then he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they live in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone. Underground. Nobody has ever seen him since. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. "Rat on your pop, and Keyser Soze will get you." And no-one ever really believes.
