    Another thing people miss is in the beginning. The detective states that Verbal is paranoid about being recorded and knows that all the interrogation rooms are bugged, so he wants to be questioned in an office. In reality he knew that interrogation rooms are empty and that he would need props as inspiration for the story he was going to create. So he arranged to be interrogated in a room with plenty of material.

    This is more meta-textual, but because Verbal is revealed as an unreliable narrator by the famous twist, it actually calls EVERYTHING into question rather than clarifying the “real” events. The whole convoluted plot is liable to be a deception, since all the action is viewed through the story of a liar

    We see Soze being left handed in flashbacks and at one point when Verbal is explaining he might have missed shooting at Verbal from the back, he gestures to his crippled left hand. Yet in all his years as Verbal he never really picked up using his right hand as he fumbles the cigarette lighter at the beginning of the interrogation.

    Fun fact - three different people portray Keyser Soze on screen. Kevin Spacey, Gabriel Byrne (in flashback on the boat as Kujan is telling Verbal his theory. Additional fun fact, Gabriel Byrne genuinely thought he *_was_* Keyser Soze after dressing up as him, only to realise he wasn't when he saw a screening). An intern on the set also got to play him in the flashback where he murders his family. He was chosen cos of his long hair and the fact his arms didn't quite straighten fully.

    He’s toying with the detective by expressing so many little nuggets of gold that eventual come together when the detective is staring at the wall. He was so assured of his greater intelligence, that he totally disregarded the unassuming and cunning Kint. That arrogance and hubris were his undoing and what made him miss all of the cues. Kevin Spacey is a extraordinary actor. Obviously he’s a despicable person, but as an actor, he is sublime.

    Has anyone figured out the significance of the cigarette box? There are four figures on the box, and Verbal Kint looks at it right before he begins staring at the board and sees the bottom of the coffee cup. I thought perhaps the four figures were the source of inspiration for the four characters in Verbal's story. I also thought that the box might be a subtle indication that the room is bugged, as the box scene occurs right before it cuts to the recording device in the adjacent room.

    when kint is grabbed and thrown down by Kujan, Kint lifts up his "gimp" arm as to push off Kujan and away. Kint realizes that Kujan doesn't notice and he lets kujan take over the scene while laying limp hoping Kujan doesn't catch on.

    Check this out…When Kujan is talking about how Keaten was using Verbal because Verbal is dumb. The camera stays on Verbal and then he smiles as Kujan is builidng and telling the false story that Verbal is leading him down. And then Kujan comes in to frame and sits to the left of Verbal. Kujan grabs Verbal by the collar when Verbal mentions the “lawyer” “What layer?” Kujan asks and then he gets upset with Verbal grabs his collar and there it is! VERBALS CP HAND SHOVES KUJAN’S HAND OFF OF HIM AND KUJAN DOESN’T REALIZE THAT VERBAL JUST USED HIS DISABLED ARM PROVING VERBAL IS A FRAUD AND NOT WHO HE SAYS HE IS. 42:18 mark on the dvd.

    Actually, the cop only confirms that Edie Finneran was retained by the FBI's stool pigeon. This is likely the reason that Soze chose Keaton. It wasn't about Keaton. It was about getting close to his girlfriend and eventually killing her because of her association with the man who was about to rat out Soze to the cops/hungarians.

    It took me a few watches of the film to work out that almost all of the story can be viewed as false. Once you work out that the character "Kobayashi" is invented, then all the parts with the gangsters talking about Kobayashi (e.g. when they plan to kill him) must be invented. Likewise for the same reason, redfoot must also be invented. Which leaves the only bits that we can establish as actually happened are the very start of the film, the suspects being killed, the bit with the fax machine, and the very end. Everything else is made up by Verbal Kint.

    From the first time I watched it 30 years ago I thought the Kobayashi character was actually Soze. The majority of the characters and story lines are made up by the Kint character and from memory does Kint not mention in the interview that Soze is coming for him? I just think why would Soze put himself in danger, the Kint character could have been the killer/accomplice and the real Soze was the Kobayashi character, in the background pulling the strings?

    A note on Giancarlo... I have seen Breaking Bad many times and Better Call Saul a few times (BCS is not as rewatchable as BB due to its slower pacing), and Giancarlo has closely cropped hair there as well. Did the shape of his head change? I have not rewatched The Usual Suspects since I saw BB & BCS, and I had not noticed, but I would swear his head is more angular here in TUS. It that possible? Is it just that his hair was a couple millimeters longer here, and flattened against his head in ways that make it look angular? Camera angles? Lighting?

    You missed the most important one. The whole plot is too kill a guy who can identify him. He succeeded but in doing so exposed himself to the FBI, police, and effectively everyone. While everyone walks away feeling like he won, it doesn't actually make any sense to the plot. He lost big time. The greatest trick this movie ever pulled was convincing the audience the protagonist won.

    The only person alive who claims to know Soze's motive for attacking the boat is Kint - who we know is an unreliable narrator. Everything he says about how the attack played out is suspect. He could have left bits out, lied about the events and even made up all the interactions and relationships between the main characters. In fact anything not directly verifiable by solid evidence is likely fiction. For example, the entire character Redfoot likely never existed - it's the Alias of a prostitute on the noticeboard. That's Kint's genius - he improvises such an engaging story that the Kujan *wants* to believe it.

    He most certainly won. He killed everyone that could identify him, except the cop (who's superiors wouldn't believe him anyway). His main objective was to get to the government witness (for whatever reason). He hired a crew to take the fall, divert attention away from him, help to get onto the boat. He also talked himself out of custody. He can clearly operate through cutouts very effectively, hence Kobayashi. I see wins all around. Kujun isn't chasing him to Eastern Europe. You try watching it again. I think you missed the appreciation of getting to the ending to figure out pretty much the whole movie was bullshit. And the respect for the man that planned it that way.(Soze/Singer). Who's to say Soze even existed to begin with?

    A detail almost everybody misses which is more character building than anything else, is that Verbal Kint is fluent in written Japanese. In his theatrical retelling of a bunch of stuff that didn't happen, there's a brief exchange outside "Kobayashi's" office. Next to the door is a sign that says, in correct Japanese, "Kobayashi, lawyer." (小林 弁護士) It's not even written in English, because that's how much of a show off he is.
