Usual Suspects Discussion ***Definite SPOILERS within***

I don't either, but for some reason some people are seriously put off by it. I wanted to get their take.

Every movie is "made up" its story telling. Who cares who tells the story, the story is great regardless

Dammit cokes you know what I meant, it's still early.

And you should watch it, it's not too long and it's a movie you'll probably be glad you watched. I feel like everyone in the world had the ending of 6th sense spoiled for them if you didn't watch it in the first week it came out, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

I don't think all of what he told him was made up. Kobayashi was a made up name for a guy we find out was real. In the context of what we see on the screen, all of it could have happened that way with Soze watching it all unfold, like with him shooting the drug dealer in cold blood during the robbery. That was totally out of left field for Verbal, but makes sense when you realize who he actually is. Dean Keaton's gf was found dead, confirmed by Kujan. So yeah, I think names and "conversation filler" were taken from what he saw in the office, but everything that Verbal/Soze told Kujan during the interview did happen.

I stupidly ruined it for a friend when I told him that Spacey won an Oscar for that role when the movie first started.

My roommate said something when we were watching Scary Movie. At the end Doofy goes from retarded to cool, he was like "Hahaa...they riffed on The Usual Suspects." When I was like "?" he felt like shite.

I'm a sucker for movies about writing/storytelling, and that's what this is. I like that it is one big story made up by a gifted mythmaker.

Print the legend. It doesn't matter if its true because its true now. It's the only story we have.
