Matt, we need those codes
the codes...
Yes I need those codes,
it's a matter national security
to get those codes
for the Philip DeFranco Show
and I need those codes now,
it's a matter of national security,
do what you got to do H!
Hello interwebs
it is Day 9 of the
DeFranco Nation Movie Club
today we are going to watch the movie
Unthinkable
starring Michael Sheen
and Samuel L. Jackson
and the description of the movie is:
When the government
gets wind of a plot to destroy America
involving a trio of nuclear weapons,
locations unknown,
it is up to a seasoned interrogator,
Samuel L. Jackson,
and an FBI agent,
Carrie-Anne Moss,
to find out exactly where they are.
A suspected terrorist
played by Michael Sheen,
who is already in custody
is their only chance for a timely answer.
What will it take to get him to talk?
Cookies. Obviously just give someone cookies
they're your best friends, or not, maybe not
we'll know when we watch the movie
so while I go watch the movie
you're going watch 15 seconds
of the trailer and through movie magic
I will have watched the entire movie
starting now
And we are back.
so Unthinkable
is a very
smart, violent
very violent
sort of a suspensful, mystery movie
so let's setup the movie
Michael Sheen is an American
home grown terrorist
meaning that he was born
in the United States
worked in our military
went over seas
and now he's like
"Hey, I'm kind of a Muslim,
I'm going to kill your face.
Also
thanks for all that military training
I know how to make nukes
and got my hands
on nuke material
and now I've put three
in your country and
we're going to play a little weird game."
And so Michael Sheen
allows himself to get caught
so that he can either like
test himself or
test others or
prove a point or something
and so then they call in
Samuel L. Jackson because
he's a badass ***
who also
is an interrogator/terror...
a terrorr... ist... ner
torturer
that's the word I'm looking for
and so I mean like
the first thing he does he's like
"Hey Michael Sheen how you doing?"
he cuts his finger off
that just kind of just sets up
the next part of the movie
the government is like
"Hey remember that Geneva Convention? I don't!"
and they like
shoo everyone away
and it turns into this operation
that no one will ever know about
and the rest of the movie is
essentially torture
versus
morarls
and it goes into the old question
anyone can argue
if they've watched 24
which of course was a great TV show,
you know we always talk about, you know
torture is wrong
and doing bad stuff to save lives
is wrong
but like when we see
some dude like in 24
killing people
and doing all this crazy messed up ***
because he has to save America
and we cheer,
but at what point is it wrong?
Is there in fact a line?
Is there something unthinkable?
I will say that's one part
of movies I hate,
when they say the title in the movie
and that can be a question for you
other than like
What did you think of this movie?
What was going through your minds?
What do you think happened?
Do you think there is a line,
that should be followed, morally?
If you haven't watched the movie yet,
beware! because we're going to possibly
throw down some spoilers
and when I say possibly
I mean probably
and we'll go from there
so of course Samuel L. Jackson
just starts torturing this guy
like just the weirdest ***
like drilling into his teeth
and then there's like this weird moment
where he asks the FBI agent
to massage his shoulders
and you're thinking to yourself,
"Why does he want her to do a nice thing for him?
but it's actually so that
his shoulders stop cramping up
and he can feel the full extent
of the pain he's giving him.
People are betrayed,
people lie,
and ultimately comes down to
the last 15 minutes of the movie
which are the heaviest moments of the movie,
and so you have this terrorist
who's been held down for
2 or 3 days
and he's just been like
torture, torture, torture
even though, in the mean time
he still kills people
with bombs he previously setup
just not ones that are nukes
and so they bring his wife in and she's like
"What did you do, what did you do?"
and he's like
"Get her out of here!"
or something, he like really into it
Michael Sheen is such a fantastic actor,
and all the stupid government people are like,
"Get her out her out of here, you can't do this argh argh."
Samuel L. Jackson is like
"There's no time!!!"
with his crazy Samuel L. Jackson eyes
and he kills his wife
and you're like "WTF?!"
and everyone is screaming
and then they all calm down
and that's when Samuel L. Jackson is like
"How far do you want me to go?"
That's not Samuel L. Jackson's voice
I can't do it, it's too awesome,
my vocal cords would explode if I tried
so then they bring his kids in
so Samuel L. Jackson is like, I'm going to make you watch
me torture your kids
you saw me kill your wife, you know I'll do it
the whole reason is cause Michael Sheen
character thought that his family had gotten, but they were
actually stopped, and so then Michael Sheen like
gives up the codes, because apparently his kids
dying, too much for him too handle,
they're just children, and so even after he gives them
the codes, what about the fourth bomb
and he's like "There is no fourth bomb!"
and everyone screaming again
get those kids away
and Samuel L. Jackson is ready to actually torture the kids he's
stops and then after stops, he's told
torture the kids, and then he's like "NO"
the FBI is right, there are lines
and then the *** movie ends with
big finger to your face
I'm guessing because they were like "We don't want to say
it's good or bad, we'll people interpret
the movie." So you never if there's a fourth bomb, and you're left
with a question, should they have continued
torturing the like the kids,
or is that unthinkable, and let me just say
this before hand, it's not like an American
soldier has never killed a child
I'm just going to through that out there
but of course, the whole moral, is there a line and are
times where it's justified to cross it
definitely a movie that made me think
word play! ahh stupid
but of course let me know what you think down below
and also, what movies you want to watch next week
cause I've been checking out a bunch of the comments
of course if you do not remember to watch these movies along with us
you can do it most any way, but the easiest way would be to
sign up to nexflix.com/phillyd
free 30 day trial, instantly streaming movies
it's a good time, and tonight remember to watch
The Prestige, because we're going to be talking about it tomorrow
you have a big Christopher Nolan hard-on
So we'll watch that movie, this is one of the very few movies
that is not in the instant queue
you might have to use those other methods,
but anyways I'm going to hop off,
I love your face,
and I'll see you tomorrow
