Of course they did, truth is truth isn't it? This movie was heavily influenced by a true "Lord of War" his name was Oliver North and him and Adnan Kashogi were two of the biggest arms dealers the world had ever seen. The Iran Contra affair now looked back as LESS than a decent footnote in history, was a rip in the curtain for America's true scope of their weapons sales from Vietnam, the Invasion of Afghanistan in the 80s by the Russians, the first Iraqi War, 9/11 and the "conflict" in Iraq, and now the Ukraine. So was Cage really acting? Or this is just the way America truly does business? Ethan Hawke said it the best "I'd tell you to go to hell, but your probably there already". After the 2 years of pandemic, the untold job losses, and government handouts, and now Ukraine. Are we ALL in hell?

@@slewone4905 I didn't say it was based on anybody, I said it was "heavily influenced". Meaning that there are stories from Gary Webb, Oliver North, and Adanan Khashogi that fundamentally make up Nicholas Cage's character. Nothing wrong with a writer drawing inspiration from real world characters. And the people I listed ARE real. Khashogi was an arms dealer, Oliver North was in the famous Iran Contra Scandal and the middleman for the US Government, and Gary Webb was a journalist and writer who did expose the CIA and other high ranking members of the US Government and showed the involvement of the US in the arms trade. In fact, it's well known that the biggest arms dealer is the US Government. Cage said that during his brief "detainment".

Great scene. I think people overestimates Yuri's detachment and Jack's idealism. The change in Jack's face is indeed one of defeat, but the entire end of the movie, before this scene where he finally got involved in a murder and the "never go to war with yourself" speech is a good rememberance of everything that Yuri lost. He's absolutely miserable, and he'll spend the rest of his life trying to forget every mistake that led him into losing his brother, his family and his peace. People say how he's rich and will find another trophy-wife, and while that might be true, you can see at his face when Jack tells him he's already in hell, that he doesn't know how to leave that hell anymore. He keeps working as a arms dealer because he can't do anything else, and since his career alienated everything he once held dear, he will probably become even more of a workaholic and probably go into more drinking-fueled meaningless sex and drug usage. Yet, none of this satisfies Jack, who wanted justice, not petty punishment. There is the carthasis of knowing that the perpetrator has indeed found punishment, but there's also the defeat of knowing your idealism doesn't work. I find it interesting: Jack is the one who starts with nothing worth of value against Yuri, but when Jack leaves that room, Yuri is the one who lost everything. And Yuri just tiredly explains it to Jack, because now that he was a direct victim of his own career, he just wants everything to be over with.

It's politics and how you stop threats from your enemies ever reaching you.

Nicholas Cage performs a masterpiece on this scene. His dialog, tone ,and facial expression were flawless. The delivery of his words perfect.

Brilliant acting by both actors. Hawke's change in expression from jubilation to defeat is just fantastic. Cage's calm, impassive delivery is no less outstanding. Truly a great scene.

Then they demonise the refugees who run from there own country over to the UK for sanctuary so dumb uneducated twats from council estates can blaim all there problems on immigrants causing even more divide and further away from the real reality that we are all being played.

Honestly cage wasn't smug about "winning" but more explaining the REAL rules of the game Hawk is playing. The one liner fell pretty flat but that's probably because a counter one-liner would just dampen the scene. Example: "I'd tell you to go to hell but I think you're already there." "Congratulations on catching up to me the day my brother thought it'd be smart to try and steal a grenade from the african warlord buying it." It'd just be unnecessary to the scene. Both could still engage in wordplay but also both had already said their piece by that point and that last little action of the door knock wouldn't have capped off the scene so well if the banter continued.

He knows it straight away. At 4:37, the look in his eyes and on his face says that his entire worldview has been destroyed. You can literally see him go from idealistic hype earlier on in the scene as he's pacing watching Yuri read the paper to deep cynicism and even despair towards the end of the scene as the moral values that drove him have been shattered. A rare scene where both the protagonist and antagonist lose each in their own way, (Yuri personally/emotionally & Jake idealistically,) but the antagonist has to lay it out for the protagonist which is almost unique in a movie. He's almost sorrowful at having to explain the ''I'm not the true evil, it's your overall boss and the system you are naively trying to prop up without realising what it actually is''. That might be the biggest insult of all for Jake. The guy who he has been trying to take down for years doesn't even see him as a threat and is, in fact, pitying him for his highly unrealistic idealism. Nothing worse than finding out that what you have been dictating your life to is utterly pointless. Not only in action but egoistically as well. Yuri was never afraid of Jake once. That's really gotta sting Jake's ego.

Cage gets a lot of praise for his acting in this movie and this scene in particular, and rightly so, but Ethan Hawke deserves a lot of credit in this scene just for conveying emotion with his body language and expression. At every different development you can feel where his character is just by how he carries himself. Everything from his frustration when Yuri ignores the newspaper story about him, to the the doubt starting to creep in during Yuri's speech, and finally how he's all but convinced that Yuri is right even before the knock on the door. Cage had a great speech in this scene and knocked it out of the park. Hawke didn't have a great speech and didn't even have more than a few seconds at a time to work with, and also knocked it out of the park.

The power of Yuri's dialogue comes from it's real-world implications; what happens here isn't just possible, it happens on a routine basis. When you go past a certain threshold in power, influence, or you're seen as necessary enough to the operations that keep the power structure in place, you're essentially protected in a hidden tier of the justice system that looks out for the power brokers, and in his own small way Yuri is a power broker in that he can make certain things happen that others can't. We've all seen people in high office get away with things that any of us would go to prison for life for, but because that sort of power makes you part of a club that protects its own, the worst they get is they have to resign or spend a year in Club Fed. There's a line Yuri gives shortly after this scene where he says that he's under no illusions, that them saving him today doesn't mean they'll need him tomorrow, and you have only to look at what happened to Epstein to see that while he got saved once, after he became too much of a problem, he had a little 'accident' in his cell. Yuri's insight here has such impact because it is the secret and never-spoken truth about how this world's power operates and controls the world, with the rest of us just ignorant pawns.

Francis Ford Coppola has enough weight in Hollywood he cast his daughter in the Godfather Part III - which she almost singlehandedly ruined with her abysmal acting. How Sofia Coppola ever made a career as a director herself is another mystery but with "good connections" you can make a career.

*THE INEVITABLE CORRUPTION OF GOVERNMENT WAS ESTABLISHED IN THE SOCRATIC ERA OF ANCIENT GREECE* An ancient greek philosopher called Thrachymachus famously won a debate with Socrates on the nature of Govt, or the most virtuous form / behaviour of government. Plato recounts the debate in Republic (from memory) - it's worth reading, because it demonstrates that (a) the litany of endemic problems with politics, bureaucracy, & government that plague us now, have plagued us for millenia, (b) human nature doesn't change, and (c) *_all forms of government inevitably become corrupt._* *CRITICAL CAUSAL FACTORS (PSYCHOPATHY; POLITICAL PONEROLOGY) ONLY A FEW DECADES OLD* One critical advantage we have today, is our slowly developing understanding, starting only a few decades ago, of critical aspects about human nature & nature of evil previously unknown. All academic, scientific, artistic, literary, political, philosophical , psychological (etc) investigation, analysis, and commentary on the nature of evil, the scourge of government, corrupt / illegitimate political idealogy (slavery, feudalism, fascism, communism, tyrannic despotism / totalitarian dictatorship, colonialism, noble / aristocratic / royal political power & rule), supernatural delusion / manipulation / pathology etc...lacked, until the 1960s / 70s on, understanding of the topics below: *Psychopathy* Wiki page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy; Richard Hare's 'Without Conscience' is a seminal mainstream work *Political Ponerology / Pathocracy* www.ponerology.com/evil_2b.html pathocracy.wordpress.com/definition/ *DEMOCIDE* Term coined by Nobel Peace Prize nominated political science Professor R.J. Rummel *Democide:* _The murder of any person or people by a government, including genocide, politicide, and mass murder._ Democide is / was the central research topic of Rummel's career. He came to a figure (derived from a relatively broad range) of 262,000,000 for 20th Century democide. _"This democide murdered 6 times more people than died in combat in all the foreign and internal wars of the century." In summary: The idea that government corruption is a permanent fact of life is an unproven assertion (claim, statement) based on ignorance, propaganda, misinformation, disinformation, capitulation, and thousands of years of systematized manipulation, control, tyrann, oppression. If you're going to promote other people's ideas, I'd recommend getting the first clue about how the world works first ;) I've done my best to present an accurate summary of why the world is the way it is, rather than simply taking up a contrary view and debating for points. Ultimately however, I'd be lying by omission if I failed to expression my disgust & unequivocal opposition against willing self-enforcement and support for the primitive brutality that's made life an unfathomable nightmare for so many for so long. Fuck war, fuck royalty / aristocracy, fuck religion, fuck the military, fuck power crazies & control freaks, fuck the government, fuck the corporatocracy, pathocracy, technocracy, FUCK DEMOCRACY, fuck the so-called media, fuck the power elite, and most of all FUCK THE CRETINOUS MASSES without whom the above wouldn't be possible. PS: Go tits & pussy! ;)
