This scene really is a masterclass in writing, directing and especially acting. JT Walsh was one of the best character actors ever. Everything he did felt so natural and memorable. This performance is no exception. His timing, line delivery, pauses, hand gestures, facial expressions etc. make you feel like you’re watching an actual textbook narcissistic psychopath who you would never want to meet in real life. Brilliant performance. BBT also gives one of, if not the best performances of his career. Just a brilliant movie all around.
Proud to have been in this movie as the crayon man, i'm the long haired guy at the end of the table coloring. Had lunch inside in the a/c with JT, while everybody else ate outside in the heat. So cool that JT came and sat with me and one other person inside a room in the old state mental hospital, we talked and told stories and jokes.

I've held the same opinion for years. It's such a powerful scene that one could argue that J.T. Walsh stole the entire movie with this one scene. It is fucking brilliant. This scene is a damn good short film all by itself.
@@ysf-psfx no it's the first, i'm the long haired guy and was there. The last shot JT comes over and starts playing with my arm hair after BB told him to leave him alone, but the camera pans to just BB and you don't see JT and I.
I remember watching the 1998 Academy Awards, they did a tribute to film industry people who had died.. These big name stars and even directors and writers were getting big applause, when they showed the photo of JT Walsh, it was like 10 people in that audience clapped....like they didn't even know who he was. I felt a big hole in my heart. JT was such an under rated actor.
the dragging of the chair and stare for anyone to challenge him...crossing karl’s line in the sand and invading his solitude...the depth of this short bit of dialogue...karl’s wincing at the crassness of it all until the corners of his mouth tremble....it’s all A+.
The chairs in Psychiatric Hospitals are built to be VERY HEAVY so the patients can't lift the chair and attack others. The ONLY WAY to move these chairs is by dragging.
There before me lies a best supporting actor nomination for JT Walsh, I don’t care how long he was in the film. A performance I’ll always remember whether I want to or not
I think what really makes his character is the smoker's wheezing at the end. It makes him almost approachable like he could be some bar patron making up the same story
perfect person to play the Joker! very unhinged perfect performance hed be too old if alive but i would base the next Joker role on Walsh and his many edgy perfomances. I think this whole piece is in here to let JT do his thing. As an update to my original post Keoghan you have your chance this whole scene is demented Joker style.
And who could really blame the feller, huh? I mean, if the penis was thin and crooked, that's surely enough surprise for one "date". But to be uncircumcised on top of everything (pun intended) - well, that just kind of goes beyond all bounds of good taste, now doesn't it? ;-) RIP, J.T. - I think of you every time someone drags a chair across the floor.
JT Walsh plays the part of complete psycho sssooo well. The way he seemed to draw out & play into certain memories of what he did, the way he pulled the car up beside her, the way he pulls the car down into a secluded spot. These are things that real psychos relive over and over. He gets over looked for such a short role, be he does it better than 99% of actors could.
JT Walsh left us wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too soon. Should have got another 30 years of movies out of that guy, probably a main role on a TV show like The West Wing or Mad Men.
When I was fairly young, I worked at a psychiatric hospital in the food services department. One day My assignment was at meal time to take the food cart into the locked unit. “Residents” were served, we waited for dinnerware and utensils counting all before leaving. I unlocked the door with the keys, but forgot to take them with me as I exited. When I realized they were still in the lock - inside, this patient pushed the door shut, locked it and pulled the keys out and waved them at me from inside. That half smile he gave me scared the bejesus out of me, just as when they told me don’t let them get behind you.
Couldn’t say as patient confidentiality was King. However I can say Hollywood and the rich did use it regularly as it was in the rural southwest at that time a former tuberculosis asylum run by an order of nuns. A beautiful place with a grotto, chapel, Swimming pool, bowling alley very serene and secluded. Even had a huge tree located in the atrium of the lock unit. Patients would climb up and stay for a while and the would be aloft and visible as you drove up the entrance. Ah good times.@@patrickc3419
in real life-Thorton grew up in tar paper shack in huge family with no running water or plumbing in which the mother was bringing men over and doing them right out in the open as they do in areas like that. however at his age if kids hear or see stuff like that they view it as someone is molesting or raping their mother. For that reason kids that grow up in those conditions have alot of anger and later on will do movies and such showing the anger such as this one where Thorton then makes movie where he kills the lover and then the the mother finding out she was "in on it and part of it". so the movie was made simply to show his true anger and pain while growing up. notice how the movie flirts with prostitution since the huge family being so poor the mother likely was getting extra money so Thortons childhood did not associate sex as a loving thing with a father but an act of drunken violence with multiple partners that hurt his feelings growing up and likely everyone else in the family. so he made the movie to show what he truly wished he could have done. The kid of course represents Thorton at that age in which the drunken abuser represents the men coming over and the nicely mother taking part in terrible affair with abuser--therefore Thorton also KILLS HIM with lawnmower blade. there is my opinion and Thorton agrees in interviews he is doing movies and stuff related to his life and growing up. many great movies are actual secret stories from the actors or producers lives.
Karl making disgusted faces and grunting = you Charles = Your teacher on the first day of school going over the syllabus for the year and how much work you have to do.
So much different from the ending when Carl returns back to the mental hospital. Creep: who was the trouble here, with the boy? Karl: don't you dare say nothing bad about that boy! Back to business, don't you dare say another word to be, I ain't going to listen to you no more!
I would say no, because this is a remake of a scene from the short film "Some Folks Call it a Sling Blade" starring the same two actors and Molly Ringwald. So they had done it several times already.
J.T. Walsh was one of the most underappreciated, under-recognized actors in the last 50 years. Everything he did was quality acting - without exception!
JT Walsh was an amazing actor. He genuinely scared the shit out of me in this movie. In Breakdown he was just incredible too. I've yet to find an actor who makes me feel the tension like he did.
The thing about JT Walsh, he's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at you he doesn't seem to be livin'... until he bites you, and those black eyes roll over white.
I love the psychedelic ambient music in this movie. It’s so strange and otherworldly and invokes the kind of strange thoughts going on in the main character’s head.
I agree, I also feel it has a weird, timeless or maybe primordial sense to it also. Really interesting choice, its perfectly fitting here but also very different than a lot of composers would have probably done for the movie. But it works so well I couldn't imagine anything else being better fit.
Yep,greatest performance in modern history....the problem is, is that it's too raw for the liberal dimwits that control the media,thus not "politically correct", therefore swept under the rug just like so many other works of art....Ex: Michael Douglas in "Falling Down".....all this censorship part of the pussification of America
damn..you can't go anywhere on TH-cam without some whiny ass Trump twat talking shit about politics...piss and moan blaming some one else for their miserable station in life...you're dime a dozen opinionated bullshit has no business or merit here...cram your maga hat up your ass and go spew your shit to people that give a fck about what you think...

In my opinion, this is one of the greatest opening scenes in the history of film.

Mostly snobs attend

God this brilliant acting. J.T. damn near stole the whole damn show with this one scene.
He certainly stole the scene. And that's pretty hard to do with Billy Bob doing his Carl
Billy.bob and Dwight stole the movie

Best comment ever literally laughed out loud.
I love the way Walsh mimics Karl's grunts after the end of his story, wouldn't be surprised if he improvised that.
Jt really nailed it with his performance
Yes, okay, a great performance, but the point is the character he portrayed. I wanted to shoot him I got so angry. How did it affect you?
J.T. Walsh was an outstanding character actor. The man shined in almost everything he was in. He was gone way, way too soon.
JT Walsh was a GREAT character actor who died way too young at 54.
This scene is gold! Such great acting. Awesome writing. Directing is outstanding. And the comedy is a gem!
It is hard to think of a movie better than this one. Incomparable.

The chairs in Psychiatric Hospitals are built to be VERY HEAVY so the patients can't lift the chair and attack others. The ONLY WAY to move these chairs is by dragging.
It symbolizes his lack of empathy for others, a hallmark of psychopathy.
He's a psychopath and dragging the chair is just another way to inflict pain on the others in the room .
@@mongo_congo9908him dragging the chair was much more deliberate than that.
"DON'T YOU SAY ANOTHER WORD ABOUT THAT BOY..." 😂
Own this movie. Great film! Go out and get it! Great performances by ALL! RIP John Ritter and JT Walsh.🤗🤗🤗
J.T. was amazing.
BGdeivid778 Thanks, pal!

Mercury is a real good car.
In 1989-90, I went to that mental institution and played music for some of the residents several times. It is a real place.
I think what really makes his character is the smoker's wheezing at the end. It makes him almost approachable like he could be some bar patron making up the same story
If you don’t want people sitting next to you at a bar just turn to them and say “Mercury… Is a real good car.”
He played creeps and scumbags in his acting career, yet from what I understood was one of the nicest guys out there..
So much brilliance here- just the twist of the neck from Thornton
That was done in one take. That guy is a damn good actor.
bellboy407 he died too. Sucks
@@soccercaballo510 heart attacks suck
JT was one of the greatest actors of the times. He always knew how to play the scum bag role. I wish we could bring him back!
No doubt about that
He played a good guy in A Few Good Men.

I think this whole piece is in here to let JT do his thing. As an update to my original post Keoghan you have your chance this whole scene is demented Joker style.
Maybe I'm gong out on a limb here, but I bet he wanted his twenty-fi dollas back real bad.
My name is Carl. I recon he did want his twenty-fi dollas back mmmmhhhhh LOL
And who could really blame the feller, huh? I mean, if the penis was thin and crooked, that's surely enough surprise for one "date". But to be uncircumcised on top of everything (pun intended) - well, that just kind of goes beyond all bounds of good taste, now doesn't it? ;-)

Cigarettes didnt help
J.T.'s portrayal of Sergeant Major Dickerson in 'Good Morning Vietnam' was inspired. Gone way too soon, but his movies live on
The music in this scene is perfect.
The heartbeat sound when Carl describes his killings to the young girl just as scary.
J.T Walsh...(1943-1998) May Your soul rest in peace
Both great actors JT Walsh got me when he played Drukker the antagonist in the Dudley Moore movie Crazy People! He was brilliant !!!!😮
Love the music in the first and last scenes.
All things considered this movie to me displays the art of cinema
RIP J. T. Walsh (September 28, 1943 - February 27, 1998), age 54
You will be remembered as a legend.
$25 back then was a lot of money.
I just bought 6 cars in Bryant Arkansas and we drove by this mental hospital it was really cool we drove through the town this was filmed in
Honestly given the state of this world now, he kinda makes sense.
🤡🌍
Maravilloso actor J.T Walsh!!!!🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️
I truly hope they filmed the dragging chair scene in one take!
GREAT MOVIE!!!!
JT Walsh is one of the very few actors who I think would have made as good of a Walter White as Bryan Cranston's
Dwight Schrute's fall from glory
rip JT :-(
"... in a remote location that was comfortable for both she and I" lol
Didn’t know JT was in this movie ✊🏻
" It ain't got no gas in it"!😂
Karl's fade was every guy's home haircut during quarantine
The acting in this movie...
This is a classic scene.

Were they people who committed crimes but deemed incompetent, or mentally Ill people not capable of being out on their own?

Long gone JT Walsh is now, he was a great actor.
He'd be in his late 70s today sad he died so young same with Ritter
Atascadaro hasn't changed much.
JT Walsh brilliant
jt and john could be brothers in this film they look so alike
It it only wasn't uncircumcized! 😂
J.T. Actor who I liked!!!!
I would hope Charles took care of that situation in the proper way....
incredible scene
71 people don't like a big bush.
Just think about it! Bad Santa himself and the mean and nasty Sergeant Major in Good Morning Vietnam are in this scene. Talk about great actors!
Gonna buy me a mercury and cruise it up and down that big bush.

It ain't got no gas in it.
So this was where Lt Matthew Markenson was hiding out here when the JAG core subpeonad him
