I love the usual suspects but the reveal invalidated the whole movie.


Tha frick?


because the entire story Verbal told was a lie. It doesn't necessarily invalidate the movie, but it invalidates the events you just watched.

There were clues about who some were throughout the film. The gold lighter, the name soze translates to verbal, in the gunfight every pov from some is immediately followed up with a shot of verbal, kint says he killed Keaton during part of the interrogation, the order of envelopes given is the same order they die in.


nobody notices those intricate details while watching, just like nobody picked up on the color red being a tip-off in the sixth sense.

the brilliance of sixth sense was in the opening scene and the "I see dead people scene". It was right there in our faces from the start.

Was it?

Even if 100% a lie (which I don't believe - obviously he was adlibbing details, but that doesn't mean the overall structure of events wasn't consistent with the evidence), movies are lies. They're "stories" baw.

Maybe while watching the first time. There is an entire cult around Lynch's Muholland Drive. Is that movie "invalid" as well?
