On the DVD commentary, the director Sam Mendes mentions how much trouble they had editing this scene because he felt it just didn't work properly....and then it came to him to just let Thomas Newman's score play over everything and to cut out all of the sound effects until Sullivan confronted Rooney.
And it worked perfectly.
When words fail, music speaks
Yes it did
@@houstonsanderfield6074 what a pleasantly surprised decision
The music / soundtrack makes the scene & movie in my opinion.
He made the right decision.
Great actors don't even have to say a line. They say everything with their eyes.
*see robert redford #ALLisLOST
Nucky Mancini That was a pretty good movie.
On film yes. On stage? No.
Actually the action and the cinematography, the dramaturgy and everything else leading up to and going into each moment on screen says rather a lot. The act of speaking is not priviliged in cinema and the virtuous line is never overly obvious and does not explain subtext but leaves space for the rest to do it's thing.
a man’s eyes says it all...
"I'm glad its you" has so many meanings. He's glad that he is dying at the hands of a "good" man. He is glad that he did not have to experience being killed by his own son. He is glad that he is the one who lost because his evil existence is finally over.
Very good points
He's glad Michael is the one who will live instead of Connor.
Thanks Steven spielberg
He is glad he will not die of illness or old age.
He is glad he is dying in the hands of good man not some other crook gangster or his own son but a guy who is doing it for his family
True story about Paul Newman:
When I was 12 I wrote him a letter asking to interview him. I was a chronically ill kid and wanted to talk to him about his charity work for a school project I had. 2 weeks go by and I come home from dinner one night and there’s a message waiting for me on our answering machine. It was his secretary. She wanted to tell me how sorry he was that he couldn’t be interviewed by me because he was filming this movie but that he thanked me for my interest and support and told me to stay strong through my illnesses. The fact that he even took 2 minutes out of his schedule to do that for me is something I’ll NEVER forget.
Wow!!! That is so amazing! What a man!!! ❤❤❤
@Yousuf Arshad paul Newman
where do you get his adress? because the only one you could write a letter to is his agent and even his adress is not puplic.
@@jeremyjohnson7676 this was in 2001 mind you. I wrote 3 letters just to hedge my bets. I sent one to his charity, one to his agent, and one to an address I found online that was allegedly his home. I have no idea which one got through tbh. I kinda hope it was the charity since that was what I was most interested in discussing after his film career.
Great :D
Every scene in this film looks like a pre-war American painting
Mendes is said to have been seeking a look like an Edward Hopper painting in some of the scenes--and the classic scene in which Newman's character and his henchmen meet their fate on a dark, isolated street in the rain is very much like a Hopper painting.
You can thank Conrad Hall for that. He didn't win an Academy Award for Cinematography for nothing.
That's Conrad Hall. One of the all time greats.
"Im glad its you"
It means not only he likes to be killed by Sullivan, he is also saying
"im glad that, in this fight between you and my other son, you are the one who survives (I protect him, but I know you are a good man, and he is not)".
Well put👍
It's more than a scene. It's Paul Newm's last scene, and says, "I'm glad it's you".
He's glad that Tom Hanks retires him.
Glorious.
it's a screen legend handing down thr baton to another legend
This! Incredible knowing that Paul Newman’s career is ending and Tom’s is in full bloom. The symbolism on so many levels is astounding
Paul Newman had several roles after this, most notably where he voices Doc in Cars
Nope. He did some television works too after this movie until his death in 2008.
This is paul newman’s last live action role
Hands down Tom Hanks’ most overlooked performances. It was also Paul Newman’s swan song, as this was his last onscreen film performance.
His last line “I’m glad it’s you” has a double meaning. First, it’s saying that I’d rather be taken out by you than a stranger. Also, this was Paul Newman passing the torch to Tom Hanks.
Very well said Charlie
Also, one of the most underrated mafia movies. It's so beautifully shot, and also a road-movie. 😁
Tom Hanks performances aren't overlooked in this movie or any of his movies. This is one of many best movies. 😁
Great movie, all the way around.
🎶🎶🧜♀️🌹Beautifully stated 🌹🧜♀️🎶🎶☺️
No one can ignore the greatness of Paul Newman
@wkh51 you just keep thinkin butch, that’s what your good at
You’re
Nor the greatness of Thomas Newman
@@austin1806 thank you
The fact this film didn’t get nominated for best picture at the Oscars is a crime!
It was a boring film with good moments
Actually it won best picture at the academy.
@@eagleone08 Actually it didn't. Chicago won in 2003. Which is the year Road to Perdition would have been nominated, but it wasn't.
It should at least have been nominated for Best Director.
@@marcus22221 I disagree. The film was solid but didn't do anything special. It had a few good scenes but I didn't feel anything from it.
Gladiator on the other hand, had emotional traction through out the film and emotional payoffs by the end. The cinematography was great, the set and costume design was stellar, as was the script and acting.
In Road to perdition, all of the facets that make a film are average at best. It was reduced to a film with good scenes that were better than the overall movie.
Ironically, Paul Newman earned a first class ticket to heaven. A tremendous human whose company continues to donate millions to charity. His camps helped thousands of children, myself included
🙏 This is beatiful and very touching. ♥️
Matthew Wiley that’s awesome!! It’s the best place on earth
An all time great

Hey, what kind of camps?
Paul Newman's final scene and what a scene! Bowing out like the actor and gentleman he was.
Didn't Paul Newman voice Doc in Cars?
@@jasonhahn8797 Yes. Paul Newman mainly worked as a voice actor after this film.
@@wolterzz3267 ah, okay.
Magnificent film score by Thomas Newman. The "Academy" continues to embarrass itself by failing to give this man the statues he rightfully deserves.
Liberal lefty boot licking scum, the lot of em.
seaturtle7777 the academy has been embarrassing itself for years now with undeserving nominees / winners etc !!!
Totally agree. Absolutely phenomenal score writer.
Give him an Honorary Oscar at least damm it
This, Finding Nemo, and Shawshank Redemption deserved the award. Screw the academy.
Hanks' most underrated and underappreciated work
+5burowz How was this underrated?
***** Because I don't think he gets the credit for the performance he put in; just my opinion.
5burowz Idk man, he's pretty famous for many scenes. This was no exception.
+5burowz Wasn't this movie nominated for like eight Academy Awards?
Absolutely.......
This was my favorite film of 2002. It’s remained with me for 20 years. A masterpiece!
Watching it now & always will!🥳🥳💜💜
One of my ALL-TIME favorite films. I tell anyone who will listen to watch it if they haven’t. In this scene, it was always the look in Tom Hanks eyes that gets me. Amazing. At least it won best cinematography.
Such an underrated movie. Almost as good as The Godfather in my opinion. The decision to cut all the sound except the music was utterly brilliant. A rare movie in which Tom Hanks plays an antihero. He should do that more.
The cinematography of this film is one of the best I've ever seen.
***** first day on set Conrad looked at Newman through a lens and said 'he used to be so beautiful'
+vars280287 Conrad Hall. Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, American Beauty, Marathon Man.
+Paul y Wow? I never knew he already worked with Paul Newman before in probably Paul's best 2 roles ever.
vars28 it's a beautiful movie.
vars28 absolutely
"I'm glad it's you" I agree that this is one of the best scenes in the movie......and two great actors.
Thomas Newman is one of the best film composers. His music makes this scene impossible to take your eyes off of. It's beautiful.
Chills down the spine, enough to make a grown man cry. Powerful scene.
Love Tom Hanks BUT this scene is all about Paul Newman. His look of fear when the shooting starts to his look of acceptance of the inevitable is fantastic especially with the score.
Almost 60 years of acting experience really shows.
Reminiscent of Bob Hoskins at the end of The Long Good Friday. Fantastic performances by masters of their craft.
He looks at the dead driver and knows he's finished. Doesn't even turn around while Hanks is gunning down his men because he knows who it is and what the outcome is going to be. Great scene, and the big scene at the end with the photographer/hit man, Hanks and his son is also great.
jadegonemad I think that Tom Hanks' performance here is the one that stands out a bit more. He doesn't utter a word, but exudes so much emotion just with his eyes. Regardless, these are two actors performing at the top of their game. This is one of the best scenes I've ever seen in film. The acting, cinematography, and music combine for pure perfection.
Don PPP
What always got me about this scene is that was Paul Newman's final on screen role. And just before he dies he looks at Tom Hanks and says "I'm glad it's you".
It's not just an incredible scene in its own right but a haunting, bittersweet ending to an incredible actor's career.
He was in an HBO 2 part series called Empire Falls after this. Very under the radar movie, and pretty forgettable, but just figured its worth mentioning that was actually his last on screen role
@@greens294 shutup dont ruin his fantasy
@@jamesortega8681 yea he can have his fantasies, but I’d rather him not misinforming folks. Too much of that happening nowadays
I’m pretending that the HBO role was shot before the Perdition role.
Yeah and Disney Pixar's Cars Was His Final Voice Role.
1:21 could be a fucking painting. It's beautiful.
I love the way he stalks out from the shadows as well, like some kind of spectre, emerging from the mist as an almost supernatural figure.
The bit with all the little figures staring out from the windows scares the hell out of me. The way you can't see their faces, how motionless they are, the light behind them, its like ghosts, haunted horrible ghosts of all the murders they committed peering down, watching, staring. Not doing anything, just looking in silent judgement. Christ what a fantastic scene.
The only thing wrong with the scene was that the barrel of the Thompson machine gun should have been steaming with all the rain on it. The barrels get very hot after emptying an entire drum magazine.
The song used in this scene from the soundtrack is called 'Ghosts' to anyone who was curious.
Yes, brilliant composer.
thank you
How about when they played at the piano what was that note
This movie is extremely underrated
No its not
It really is. Defintely Tom Hanks most underrated performance.
@@hughjass69933 , I always say this is Tom Hanks' Denzel's Training Day. Just like no one had ever pictured Denzel playing such a GANGSTER ROLE in Training Day, no one had ever pictured Tom Hanks playing such a GANGSTER role in Road To Perdition. It caught everyone off guard. With that said, as much as I am a fan of so much of Tom Hanks' work, Road To Perdition, in my opinion, is his GREATEST movie. Jmo.
Completely agree...
not really. it received positive ratings and grossed over 180 million dollars at the box office. not exactly what someone would call "underrated"
This is around the time when Jude Law was in every movie released.
Lol
Exaclty 😂
Haha
I like how they're not showing, they don't show the "sounds", and they don't show the most important death. That's what good cinematography is.
Conrad L. Hall deserved that third Oscar. Topo bad he died before he won it.
Tom Hanks eyes when he tells him he is glad it was him😢
There's a lot of non-verbal dialogue in those few seconds between Hanks and Newman. That's the heart of acting. Hanks hates what he's about to do but Newman is like "you have to do this"
But also it's "I'll die before I let you kill my son"
+Jiggley Krowzer What's more important than the revenge on Connor or John Rooney, is the understanding that once the boss (Newman) is killed, there is no more value in eliminating Mike Sullivan's son. Nobody cares if the kid lives or dies after that. Connor Rooney was going to kill Mike Jr... with John Rooney's blessing(publicly). That principle was set in stone as long as John Rooney lived.
Sullivan knew that killing Rooney Sr. would preserve the life of his son, because nobody would support Connor in the event of the boss dying.
Maguire's madness was not that he killed for money, but that he killed for passion. He knew there wasn't any value in killing Mike Sullivan, other than to simply get payback for taking that bullet. Nitti did call in the contract, but the essence of completing the contract was nullified once the Rooney's bit the dust. Maguire just wanted to ice him to satisfy the score.
...with John Rooney's blessing? John Rooney would never sanction the killing of Mikes son or give Connor his blessing to kill him either. He made that perfectly clear when Frank Nitti asked about the boy. Connor on the hand was a different matter and Mike had to kill John simply so he had unfettered access to Connor whom he could then kill to
preserve his sons life.
A cinematic masterpiece. The facial emotions, the rain and music cut in. Plus you could see the pain of loss and betrayal. 👍
heavystarch100 Agreed. 🤔
The look in Paul’s face when he says I’m glad it’s you It broke me as a man
I also like the look he gives Sullivan after he sees Michael start to break. It almost looks like, "You've made it this far son, don't break now..."
Paul Newman and Tom Hanks are so underrated
I love the look on Newman's face when the shooting starts. "It's . . . over."
Isn't this one of the most underrated movies you know?
You're totally right. I got really angry, when I saw that fucking Avengers has got a better IMDb rating than Road to Perdition. That's really sad
+B0sTi34 wow, really?
+Jason Osborne imo it was a good movie but nothing particularly special ( apart from a few scenes like this ). the green mile and saving private ryan were probably hanks' best films
I disagree. For me its up there with movies like Shawshank, Road To Perdition is an amazing movie.
but it is severely underrated and overlooked in general
Cinematic Gold. The power in just that one sentence, it made the whole scene
One thing I love about this scene is the use of sound. How it starts with the music drowning out all the other sounds and then fades out to just the rain and then the bullets sound even louder then usual. So beautiful
One of the most underrated movies of all time. And one of the greatest movies of all time.
The atmosphere in this scene is just tremendous.
17 years later...and still the best scene ever made. Watch the movie...when you come to this scene...you will never look back!
Arguably one of the greatest scenes ever filmed , they could
Teach an entire film class on this scene alone. Sadly Hanks last great film and Newmans last film period. I am honored to have loved to witness these artist at their best.
The emotion involved in this scene is overwhelming. Watch the sadness and resentfulness in Mikes eyes.
FS SD GH only one Paul Newman once in a while think back to the pool hall with Jackie Gleason or the egg eating contest in cool hand Luke
Very underrated movie. Amazing cinematography, acting, everything. My first introduction to Daniel Craig long before he was Bond. The graphic novel that the movie is based on doesn't get enough credit either.
+Aaron David Kapner i saw him in layer cake and this...still a great actor
I don't agree. It was a pretty bad movie...and sadly, the movie was better than the book.
Michael
The book is actually quite good. But as for this being a bad movie... if you go into this movie thinking it is supposed to be realistic and or perfect it is wrong, it was made with artistic purpose in mind, everything has a point, a message, even here, the idea isn't that, "oh in reality they would have gotten to cover" the point is to show the end of Paul Newman's character with violence keeping with the theme of violence in the movie.
I was just going to say,"opinions are like assholes, everyone's got them." But this is better :)
You speak my opinion. One of my all-time favourite films.
I first saw this way back when it came out on DVD. I couldn't believe that this movie didn't get more attention. Since it came back to Netflix, I've watched it five times. Newan, Hanks, Craig, were all incredible, as was Stanley Tucci who had maybe 10 minutes of screen time. The cinematography was incredible, and I love how Sam Mendes played music over the gunfire. It made the scene so much more powerful.
One of the most beautifully filmed scenes I have ever watched. So violent and so elegant. Just heartbreaking.
I remember seeing this when the movie first came out and being blown away by it. I thought that I would see many scenes like it in movies to come. Well, it has been 13 years and this still gives me chills. One of the most beautifully staged scenes I have seen in my life time.
could be my favorite movie scene of all time. The entire build up, the continuous shots, the score. Just great. Then the actors hit it out of the park with their performances. You can see the sorrow in Tom Hanks eyes. Just wonderful.
i completely agree 100%
The music is EVERYTHING in this scene. Just perfection.
One of the most amazing films ever produced, and i do mean ever. Every once and a while i come back to watch. Some films you forget, but not Road to Perdition.
This was the film where I fell in love with Tom Hanks, my most favourite actor ever. I remember being glued to the screen when this film was on TV, especially this scene.
The music, the acting, the atmosphere the rain creates, the way the gun lights up in the darkness, the way they are silent apart from one simple but meaningful line, the pain on Tom’s face, the acceptance in Paul’s. My favourite film all because of this scene. Simply perfect.
20 years and this is still one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking moments in film
I love how this contrasts with the ensuing scene. In this scene, Tom Hanks hesitates, his face full of emotion; in the next scene he doesn’t even blink.
Remember everybody, this movie wasn't nominated for Best Picture or Best Director. Because....reasons.
Yet it was nominated for an academy award in SIX other categories, and it won for best cinematography. Do more research next time.
But...I did? My statement is still correct.
Clay Conger
You assumed the movie went through the year without awards.
+Doctor Jones No, I didn't. I clearly said it wasn't nominated for Best Picture or Best Director. Which is true. And disappointing.
@110789834749466059100
What's not disappointing is that the movie still fared well in the awards season. So what if it wasn't nominated in those categories? Award shows like the Oscars are determined by rich old leftist cucks who can only give out so many awards to so many people. Ultimately what matters the most is how you feel about the movie, not what they feel about it in their limited perspective.
This movie never gets as much credit as it deserves, you had two of the finest actors ever in this, Tom Hanks and Paul Newman. Tom Hanks is one of the finest actors ever, if not ever, he truly can act better than anyone in any role.
He is very good... Forrest Gump is just a masterpiece of acting.
I love all of his work. He is a legendary actor.
Lets not talk about the Angels and Demons series though
billy bob thorton. christ he was married to jolie i believe first
Boom^^
Amazing, iconic scene. One of my favourites in film history. The aesthetics of it. It’s so powerful, sad yet beautiful.
Forest Gump bad ass
The thing that's so emotional in this scene is that Tom Hanks' character[Michael] knew that Paul Newman's[John] was not to blame, it was John's son. But he would not just hand him over to be murdered no matter how bad he screwed up. And Michael would have done the same thing for his son, but he had to do what he had to even though he considered John a father.
The look in both Tom Hanks & Paul Newman's eyes right before the trigger is pulled... wow!
You rarely see acting like that!
And also , that line
" I'm glad it's you "
So powerful to think that he accepted and maybe even welcomed this. To go out by the hands of the person he respected the most, and not shot in the back by some punk kid.
Now compare it to the look on Hanks’ face when he finally killed the man responsible
The movie is the perfect portrayal of 'Bloos is thicker than water'..
@@Britishpeoplearedegenerates That look was like, ‘If gotcha bitch was a person’ when he killed Connor.
This was the last scene Paul Newman ever filmed. He had two films release following this but one was filmed prior to this and the other was animated.
I remember that as well...RIP Paul Newman...Great actor
Christopher Bu
Christopher Buckley he was retiring from films at the time or planning to then came back to play Doc Hudson in Cars series before his death from lung cancer in 2008 he originally planned to retire in 1995 from film making
God bless
Goodbye Butch
"I'm glad it's you"
+Nuri *Suffers from severe feels*
The look on Hank's face when he had to shoot John Rooney, his adopted father, his mentor, says it all. It was tearing him up to do what he had to do, but it had to be done in order to get to Connor Rooney.
“I’m glad it’s you” followed by Tom shooting Paul makes me manly cry!
Such an incredible scene made even more memorable by stunning lighting.
And a musical score to boot.
The ONLY time a wet street is acceptable.
Chadtopia and music as well...
Film noir look about it.
Chadtopia Yes....this scene was very well photographed.
Conrad L Hall was a genious with the camera. Great cinematography, great directing and great acting.
Tibor Bakti rip in piece to a master behind a camera
Amazing scene, a perfect combination of soundtrack and images. That's a real cinema.
One of the finest filmed and most powerfully compelling scenes in movie history.
For everything about it was masterfully rendered, and tied in together with this exquisite grace, the rainy, atmospheric environment, the sublime and dreamy cinematography, the beautiful and perfect lighting, the soulful music steeped in melancholic inevitability and all- consuming resignation (and which captures the emotion and mood of the moment flawlessly, with this sadly dramatic touch), the camera angles and screen shots, and the acting, most especially that of Paul Newman, as he nailed the hopelessness of his situation along with the feelings of deep resignation and sadness that his character would have no doubt felt, nailing it all with this incredible and unforgettable poignancy, along with this sense of guilty yet unwavering dignity, as it was all stamped clearly upon his features, most especially the sadness of it all (with no one else but himself to blame, something that he had made peace with, displayed marvelously and lamentably by Paul Newman).
Oscar worthy, and quite possibly his finest hour (in the very twilight of the twilight of his career, no less).
Yes, this scene was artistic and cinematic perfection, amazingly revealing and as powerfully captivating as any scene in movie history. The Greatest Scene in the Greatest Irish Mob movie ever🇺🇸🇨🇮🇺🇸🇨🇮🇺🇸🇨🇮🇺🇸🇨🇮🇺🇸🇨🇮💚💚💚
Outstanding movie that didn't even get an Academy Award Best Picture nomination. The competition was stiff that year, but it was still a major oversight. I've never been more moved by the music in a movie--the haunting, melancholy piano score throughout is powerful. Newman is fantastic, as always; the entire cast is first-rate.
Everything about this scene is just something to appreciate, Thomas Newman’s score ‘Ghosts’, the cinematography, the acting, just an absolute masterpiece in film making.
Every scene is a BEST SCENE in this movie, a masterpiece, a most memorable cinematic experience!
damn, Tom Hanks can play any role to perfection, loved this movie!
When the cops asked the neighbors what they saw they all replied,"nuthin,we didn't see nuthin".
+Van PastorMan That was awesome.
+Van PastorMan FUCK yea. I love that. It shows that they obviously knew what had happened to Mike Sullivan, and knew of the utter betrayal of him by his "employer" Mr. Rooney. I love the father/son bond between Mike and Michael Jr., but I also loved the bond between Mike and John Rooney. Connor Rooney obviously was a huge huge disappointment to his father, and Mike was more the son he always wanted. Conner knew this too, and I love the very satisfying execution scene of him.
+Van PastorMan
Ahhhhh, come on! They said "I saw three black guys runnin' away!".
Van PastorMan - He didn't do nuthin!🙈
actually. it's like that in Irish neighborhoods too, and this movie is about the Irish mob so race has nothing to do with it
LMFAO this guy was the JOHN WICK of the 1930's
I just watched this movie and i knew if i typed in best scene this would pop up.. so great
This was filmed right by where my dad worked and he used to resemble Tom Hanks, so he was mistaken for him a few times. This quickly became one of his favorite movies and watching it helps me remember him in a way. Thanks for posting this.
is it okay too shed a tear at this scene, the look in both there eyes , and than that line I'm glad it's you foook man
Yes. The resignation and the acceptance and the heavy, heavy sorrow. Tom's character was not happy to do what he felt he needed to. He didn't crow. There was no ego or bravado. Masterfully done.
One of the greatest rain scenes of all time in one of the best and underrated movies of all time
,,I am glad it's you"
Rest in Peace Paul Newman
Rise and Shine Sam Mendes
Rise and Shine Tom Hanks
Rise and Shine Thomas Newman
A very very heavy on the heart scene to watch. And that's pure art, no audio, just the beautiful eerie score that haunts before meeting everyone's fate. The rain, the soft lighting and muzzle flash from the Tommy. Pure cinema. Though I wasn't happy how the movie ended at all its an incredible film
The eyes chico, they never lie...
Paul Newman's line "I'm glad its you" hits me so much, because you know that if you are member of mafia you can get killed anytime, because mafia has many enemies. Paul Newman was glad that it was his son
i watched this a long time ago when i was a kid and the rain scene was always my favorite.
i always loved the fact that there was no gunshot sound or the sound of those guys getting shot. just rain and a really nicely toned piano instrument in the background, really subtle. i always get the godfather 1 vibes when i watch this scene as well. this is in my top 3 Tom Hanks movies.
Paul Newman's last scene, movie icon, what a legend.
Chills dwn my spin when he said thaaa " I'm glad its you " 🥲🫀🕊
The cinematography.....The music.....The editing..... Absolutely flawless!!!!! 😍😍😍
I still listen to the soundtrack! And you have to watch this movie over and over to truly appreciate the cinematography and how they painstakingly recreated Chicago! Its a time machine.
Greatest death scene! Still gives me chills. He took it like a man as all his troops fell, with the rain falling slowly and didn't even move. Awesome!
Paul Newman and Tom Hanks, two great actors. Two great men.
"I'm glad it was you."
that's what she said
Im confused?^^
Died like a man, eyes open.
Paul Newman’s character always assumed he would die violently. He’s glad it was at the hand of someone he respected rather than some opportunistic young punk out for a quick buck or to make a name for himself.
Exactly. Remember Newman's line from earlier in the film-
"None of us will see heaven."
One of the best movie in my list, Tom and Paul are acting legends , the best.
What an amazing film.
The cinematography
The music score
The acting on both of their parts.
The one line Paul Newman has in this scene is so powerful it almost makes the entire film.
This is true art people. Films like this come very seldomly. And unfortunately are usually not recognized enough for how great they are
Cinematography is amazing in this scene, along with the beautiful score by Thomas Newman.
The fact that he was that precise at that range with a damn Tommy gun is legendary 👍🏾
I couldn’t stop thinking about that. He was dropping them from across the damn street in the dark and didn’t even miss. Talk about ethereal justice and flawless execution literally. Brilliant movie
I’ve thought about this as well. Two things: He was shooting in semi-auto burst, not full auto. Makes a HUGE difference. Another thing…and this was demonstrated throughout the movie. It was his weapon of choice. You’d be surprised how accurate a person can get, even with a fully automatic weapon, when they constantly use it. I love HK Pistols. With my 45 USP, I can group around the bullseye at 25 yards consistently. But I’ve had that pistol 13 years and I’ve probably put 5,000 rounds through it. With my buddy’s Ed Brown, which I’d consider a comparably accurate pistol of the same caliber, I’m not half as good. The same buddy can hit anything, on the move, up to 50 yards with his semi auto AK. I’ve read about WWII Vets becoming crack shots from the hip with BARs. Same with Vietnam Vets and M16’s.
With that "I'm glad it's you" and the look they give each other, this scene almost gets me a little bit 😢... Tom and Paul acted their asses off in this
such a beautiful shot film and a class story.. ah thomas newman's score.. wow.
1:25...class shot of hanks walking out of the dark he's literally like
the grim reaper collecting his souls.
Damn.... he squeezed that trigger for a while.
Ice cold.
+Fabisch Factor cold as ice
+Tom jackson
No he wasn't cold.....all you have to do is look at his face when he pulled the trigger to know that.
He pulled the trigger for a while to make sure he was dead and died quickly. He loved him like a Father, killing him was painful, you can see that by the look on his face but it was an act of necessity. Not remotely ice cold.
Somebody gets it! This is one of those movies you have to listen closely to and watch all the way through.
A burst like that the drum would be empty in two seconds.
One of the best underrated movie of all times...
It's objectively wrong to say this isn't one of the greatest scenes in cinema history. Utterly profound!
“Don’t push a reasonable man to do unreasonable things.” Is what I would describe this movie
The cinematography in this film are as good as it gets. The atmosphere and visuals are absolutely amazing. It’s too bad the cinematographer, Conrad L. Hall, passed away before he was able to receive his Academy Award.
My favorite scene in all of cinematography. The way it’s shot, scored, and put together. Violent gunfire underneath a beautiful piece of music. The way it’s cut off and resumes after the only dialogue is muttered before the burst of automatic fire shatters the score... And the way Sullivan just appears out of the shadows... Perfect... Masterwork of lighting...
One of my favourite films. Truly stunning and highly underrated.
This movie had amazing style. The cinematography is top notch.
"I'm glad it's you!"
