One of my favorite scenes in the 1988 film clean and sober, fantastic scene. I will upload the bits with M. Emmet Walsh soon as he is the heart of the film.
He didn't get an Oscar nomination for this--but he won the National Society of Film Critics Award for this and Beetlejuice. They saw the magic that was Keaton.
My father showed me this movie when I was in college. I loved Michael Keaton but hadn’t heard of the movie back then. So he put it on for us and I still love it to this day. What a good movie. So underrated. This is a multi-faceted performance but it’s always great to see Keaton going nuts. I love this scene in particular because of it. Haha.
Looking at the Oscar noms for Best Actor for the year of 1988, Michael Keaton could have (and should have) easily been among the 5 nominees. He was absolutely *not* gonna beat Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man, but Michael most definitely should have at least been nominated for "Clean and Sober".
"You know what the addict's least favorite words is, Darryl? No! Ask me if you can use my phone Darryl?" "Say, Craig! Can I use your phone?" "No!" Recovery brings with it all of the realities of the world! And its problems as well.
Michael Keaton would've been great as Martin Riggs in lethal weapon since he was considered for the role which went to Mel Gibson who is just as good as Keaton.
It's a pain just getting involved with award ceremonies. It's quite political and a lot of stuff wouldn't be nominated because of the subject and sometimes just how the subject might be misinterpreted, in this case it would be drugs, addiction ect. Even though it's about real issues and trying to kick drugs, it's still too taboo for the academy. The mere suggestion of drugs would be considered too much.
....there's also the aesthetics. Everyone looks a bit worn down and scuzzy. The academy would much rather nominate a film where the cast look their best. There's not many award winning movies (smaller awards from film festivals, maybe) where The main cast look kinda dirty and are wearing sweat pants and T-shirts.
@@abegarfield7031I call bull on that just look at that other movie about drug use The wolf of wall street excessive drug use in that and corruption with the stock market
This is, without question of hesitation, some of the finest acting by one Michael Keaton. At first, I didn't get what was going here. The set-up for this scene or what the hell Keaton was saying. With the sound and him screaming... But I guess it's a nice little teaser. I'm tempted to see this picture. Wait, what's going on? Craig's booting him 'cause he found out about the embezzlement, he's on the run, that the program is harboring a fugitive? All that jazz?
It's because he's not taking the programme seriously (He doesn't want to be there) and he's quite condescending towards the other clients/inmates/residents (help me out here. What's the word I'm looking for?) which isn't helping their sobriety. He was disruptive since he arrived. Using the phone in Craig's office without permission was just the last straw.
@smoothcriminal28 i love this actor since i was born i remember him in my childhood from movies like batman and beetlejuice :P He is indeed an unique entity in the area of cinema !
"Xavier never threw a rock through a TV again...and Daryl never f**ked with me again. Word has it he still has to pay the 53 grand, only drinks he has is fiber smoothies through a straw."
@abuseforapie It actually is a disease. Just because you don't like it being called that doesn't the fact. It isn't called addictive personality, it's called addictive substance. I know your comment is ignorant but I think I should put this out there anyway. A disease is a quality, habit, or disposition regarded as adversely affecting a person or group of people. Like for example, phobias are diseases, not just a "lack of control and discipline."
@hardcorenate123456 I totally thought Keaton gave the best performance of 1988. The Academy just tends to go for certain types of roles/films too much for my taste (biopics, characters with disabilities). I actually think drama in general is overrated, but this film is a rare exception for me. Very realistic.
this should had been sent to all the fans that were crying out that Michael Keaton was all wrong for the part of Batman, that all he could do was comedy.
@deliciousmorton Agreed. That's what meetings do for us. But it's not a weekend seminary. That's why we all have to face the fact we have to be there forever, because we addicts tend to forget easily and we can fall again into the same behavior patterns again of we don't give any maintenance to our problem. Some people with years and years of recovery can fall again. It is a behavior to take one or two beers but after that it's not only your mind, it's your organism screaming for another one.
micheal keaton was 37-40 when he became batman and christian bale became batman when he was only 26. why doesnt he get anymore roles i want him screaming yelling quoting tlc references being melodramatic with a hunting rifle in his hand!
@deliciousmorton Substance abuse is not a behavioral issue. Do you actually have a general understanding of neurology? Do you know what dopamine is? Do you know about brain receptors? Why do you think people use drugs?
And still yes, the brain can get sick, it gets poisoned by drugs and alcohol as much as the liver is. The response is psychological, but the effect in the body is real. A lot of us happen to be intelligent and we understand scientists and investigators. The problem is they don't seem to understand us. They don't seem to get that addiction affects a human being way beyond the physical, psychological level, that it's not about stopping there has to be a real inner change beyond discipline
Why is Darryl so pissed? Because he can't use the phone to score drugs? I never quite understood why Darryl explodes so passionately on Craig in this scene.
@deliciousmorton I already made my homework, thank you. And I understand and respect your position. Desease is just a word, so lets skip it. All addicts suffer from obsesive-compulsive disorder and have an egocentric vision of life. You can be addict to casinos, no drugs but its the same. Discipline don't work for us in the first phases of recovery, just the truthful desire to get rid of the problem. And the change has to come from inside. Pills, hypnosis, nothing will work.

This was THE movie Michael Keaton should have won an Oscar for! Subject is not even outdated...just as powerful today as it was in the 80's!
Totally agree!!! At least it was his performance in this film that got him the the role as Batman.
He didn't get an Oscar nomination for this--but he won the National Society of Film Critics Award for this and Beetlejuice. They saw the magic that was Keaton.
Marcas de um Passado assisti uma vez e chorei emocionada
This is a really underrated film.
Michael Keaton is awesome, and this scene shows it.
Batman doing drug deal with commissioner Gordon
This is arguably his greatest performance to this very day! It's absolutely magnificent and mesmerizing!
My father showed me this movie when I was in college. I loved Michael Keaton but hadn’t heard of the movie back then. So he put it on for us and I still love it to this day. What a good movie.

one of my fave all time movies. The acting is perfect throughout. Every scene is perfect. And the ending is heartbreaking.
Clean and Sober was great.
I love his tirades. He nailed it when he kicked the door. Bam.
Kick 🦵🏻 boom
Michael Keaton tells Morgan Freeman off is one of his best performances.
Keaton is awesome...and this wasnt even his best work. Still just brilliant!!
Yes indeed
Powerful film....great performances from the whole cast, especially Keaton.
Hes such a fantastic actor
Batman talking to Gordon about drugs? What has the world come to!?
Funny!
GREAT Micheal Keaton scene!!!
I want to see this film.
2:09 to 2:15 how I always fantasized about quitting a job I hate. haha!
All I ever see is Beetlejuice. This scene is hilarious!
1:44 - If I had to act, I never would have thought about slapping the wall in frustration.
Keaton was perfect.
Great movie. One of the most underrated movies of all-time.
Fun fact: This was the movie that got Keaton to play as Batman despite Tim Burton already working with him by that point.
Where'd you find it?
I don't think that's the reason lol
"You know what the addict's least favorite words is, Darryl? No! Ask me if you can use my phone Darryl?"
"Say, Craig! Can I use your phone?"
"No!"
Recovery brings with it all of the realities of the world! And its problems as well.
Money doesnt matter when it comes to true happiness. Only live once
It's like a strung out Bruce Wayne talking to commissioner Gordon and cussing out Lucius Fox
i love how her screams "look at this back" and then kicks the door in only two seconds later lol
Fuckin' A baby. Fuckin' B , C and Fuckin' D too. I love this movie .
KWebster best line ever from the brilliant Michael Keaton. I quote that line always
Okay I thought your comment was about doing something to a baby! I had to read it a couple times to really get it 😆
Greatest Recovery Film ever made.
That was a good movie.
Sad part was Kathy baker in the movie
one of the best perfomances in movie history one love michael keaton
That's the stock market, babe!
1:36
I love how he kicks the door at the end! bwahaha!
After seeing Michael Keaton in dopesick, his performance in this film came to mind
"Like 310 maybe 315 right? That's about it right isn't Craigy?"
1:52
Sheer excellence.
$90,000 in today"s dollars is about $200,000.
Wow 😯
i have the same amount of rage when i get mad about something, this movie really brings the true image of adiction
this movie was filmed the year i was born in the city i was living in...Claymont Delaware :-)

I love Michael keaton
Bruce Wayne v. Lucius Fox
And he's talking to Gordon! Ha ha ha.
MK doing Jack in "Carnal Knowledge," going off on Ann-margret. Great stuff, unforgettable scene.
Why is it that some good movies, let alone this one, bomb at the box office?
Name one performance of Keaton's that you didn't enjoy.
Exactly.
Beetlejuice
@smoothcriminal28 i love this actor since i was born i remember him in my childhood from movies like batman and beetlejuice :P
He is indeed an unique entity in the area of cinema !
Keaton rocks
No one does psychosis like Michael Keaton :)
"Xavier never threw a rock through a TV again...and Daryl never f**ked with me again. Word has it he still has to pay the 53 grand, only drinks he has is fiber smoothies through a straw."
MICHEAL KEATON = UNDERRATED
310, maybe 315?
Now that's more like it, Mr. Wayne.
Such a badass 😍
I first watched this movie in a dui class lol.
@woollybully100
thanx. i just watched "The Other Guys".

@DaneYoussef I
ts because he was not taking the program seriously...by not following the program. Its a great movie...rent it if you can

Probably what Keaton said to Warner Brothers and Joel Schumaker when they went with Val Kilmer for Batman 3. haha!
He should have won for "My Life" instead of Tom hank's "Philadelphia"
Tom's movie's darker.
i like the hair on both keaton and morgan
What movie is this from?
And why did people think he couldn’t be Batman?
Even though this is a great performance and I love Michael Keaton, admittedly, it's hard not to see shades of Beetlejuice in his manic performances.
Damn!!
@deliciousmorton I think you're wrong. The brain is another body organ and can get a desease and start malfunctioning, like the liver or or the heart.
Lean Cuisine and Pork and Beans😆
@bugsme10 doing little indie movies and every so often doing a supporting role in a more mainstream film like The Other Guys or a Pixar film.
Wow, after wayne enterprises was shut down. Bruce wayne and Lucius fox really took a turn for the worst!
micheal keaton was 37-40 when he became batman and christian bale became batman when he was only 26.
why doesnt he get anymore roles i want him screaming yelling quoting tlc references being melodramatic with a hunting rifle in his hand!
Is that commissioner Gordon on the phone?
@abuseforapie
Addiction and alcoholism is most definitely a disease. If you don't have it then you could never understand why.
FINE, YOU WANT ME OUTTA HERE, IM FUCKIN OUTTA HERE, IM GONE! GIVE THE PART TO VAL FUCKIN KILMER IF ITS ALL TO FUCKING GOOD FOR YA!
I wonder if people ever mistaken him and Jeff Goldblum for each other like they did with Laurence Fishburne and Samuel L. Jackson?
@deliciousmorton Substance abuse is not a behavioral issue. Do you actually have a general understanding of neurology? Do you know what dopamine is? Do you know about brain receptors? Why do you think people use drugs?
@smoothcriminal28 so TRU

Dá até pra acreditar que King M é mais talentoso que Shia LaBeouf e Mel Gibson
@Two27Face haha! Thats funny!
@smoothcriminal28 And not to mention sexy.
Mr. Wayne, the way I see it, all this stuff is yours anyway.
He doesn’t care
Why is morgon freeman walking away from him?
Why is Darryl so pissed? Because he can't use the phone to score drugs? I never quite understood why Darryl explodes so passionately on Craig in this scene.
Detoxing.
where is Michael Keaton now?
hey spence i need a favor...
lol
pray 4 us with this
"DISEASE".
Bruce Wayne fallen on hard times.
@abuseforapie Very harsh, and not entirely accurate.
Wow, Bruce Wayne was really down on his luck before he became a crime fighter.
@deliciousmorton I already made my homework, thank you. And I understand and respect your position. Desease is just a word, so lets skip it. All addicts suffer from obsesive-compulsive disorder and have an egocentric vision of life. You can be addict to casinos, no drugs but its the same.

and i guess gordon gave up too. since bruce is talking to him on the phone about drug deals.
