For years I never understood what that line meant. The recently discovered that Hayden worked for the OSS, although he changed his name to John Hamilton. Apparently he was a very good sailor.
Thank you for the racist response. It was very enlightening.
Thank you! I was wondering when someone would bring this up! I read Barbara Honegger's book and also Gary Sick's comments about the October Surprise in 1980. This needs to discussed more as it seems to have been brushed under the carpet.
Playing different characters in different movies, it's called acting.
When they mentioned planned visits to a clinic more than once, I had a feeling what the twist was.
I agree with a lot of what you are saying. Different generations will remember different TV shows. Only if you are a pop culture junkie raised on American TV would these names jump out. The Killer in the movie used these aliases because no one would notice.
Extremely rewatchable, with great performances from Crowe, Phoenix, Nielsen and Oliver Reed. Great action scenes including the opening battle. Oh, let's not forget the endlessly quotable lines. I would say that it is definitely a classic. It was the film of the summer of 2000.
' Are you not entertained?'
' What we do in life, echoes in eternity.'
I think that this film is sneering at fanatical anti Communism. General Midwinter's speeches could have been made by Barry Goldwater. In the nuclear age, that sort of fanaticism was dangerous. As Colonel Stok says at the end, it's a little bit stupid.
There was plenty of grounds for a decent comedy, but the script was poor. The film was celebrating the moon landing and also mocking the idea of a fake moon landing. You need a comedy actress who can deliver or an actress who can deliver comic lines. ScarJo can do neither. The only person who seemed to be enjoying himself was Woody Harrelson.
What did you think of it?
