good story

Really good story, beautifully conceived.

There is one thing I don't understand, that is, Verbal made up this story, originally to blame Keaton? It doesn't feel like he should have pushed the crime to an absent Keyser Soze. As a result, Dave Kujan's brain was wide open, and he thought it was a repeat of the old trick based on Keaton's suspended animation, saying: Keaton was Keyser Soze! However, keaton is similar in pronunciation to the first half of keyser, and it seems that Verbal is deliberately leading it...

Last year's Hong Kong Film "Unparalleled" is a direct copy of this film, from the inner police station fiction to the outer robbery narrative.

    I admit that I didn't understand it the first time, and I was not familiar with Kevin Spacey at the time, and I didn't clarify the relationship between many characters. But when I watch it the second time I can quickly sort out my clues, because I am familiar with the actors, including Kevin, Benicio del Toro, and the role of Kobayashi in "Inception" Old fisher. The film tells that Kevin made up a perfect lie using the few words he just saw to deceive the police. It is indeed powerful.

    Watching a movie, picking is very important to time! -2012.10.11 —— Sometimes, even if I pick the right time, it may not make me like a well-recognized masterpiece. Finally, with my own efforts, I learned about the ins and outs of the case. Nevertheless, the plot of the story still made me feel a little boring. Even if I made a special sleep in order to prevent sleepiness again while watching the movie, it did not stop me from taking a nap. -2013.12.06 @中国电影 Archive revisited

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.
