Gender: Male Location: Bringing forth the apocalypse
Well, Keyser Soze wasn't really a villain in the traditional sense. More a driving force and an ominous presence for the movie. He himself did not display any personal antagonism.
Gender: Male Location: Bringing forth the apocalypse
Yeah. But he didn't personally display any menace through the movie, so he isn't the traditional villain. I do agree that he is a superb character though. [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Kevin Space is an incredible actor.
By the way... [SPOILER - highlight to read]: The film left a lot of questions. What part of Verbal's story do you think was true? Do you think he was bullshitting the whole thing? Do you think Keyser Soze is a myth designed to spread fear?
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Well, I'm fairly certain that much of what said about Soze was untrue. However, it's clear he's a very rich and very powerful criminal, and feared by pretty much everyone. He could be little more than a very powerful gangster however. It's pretty unclear. Whether Verbal really was Soze is unclear, even, though I like to believe he was...
And, yeah, Spacey's an amazing actor. He was also great as John Doe, in Se7en (another of my favourite villains), though my favourite Spacey role was as Jack Vincennes in LA Confidential...

[SPOILER - highlight to read]: My interpretation of this was that Verbal was, originally, a very simple mob boss who used the myth of of 'Keyser Soze' in order to create an aura of fear around criminality, which he can exploit in order to expand his operations. The movie's primary theme was about the power of illusion and misinformation. I believe that the general plot; the lineup and the hit on the boat, namely- was true, but the details were orchestrated as to cast Keyser Soze as someone other than Verbal, who created the illusion of him being a rather dumb cripple. His power was to control people through this sort of misinformation and mystique; as noted throughout the story, people don't realize that they work for Keyser Soze.
Anyway, very interesting character.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Wasn't he awesome in American Beauty? I wouldn't do, I hadn't watched it, but I've heard awesome things about it. Also, Spacey single-handedly made Superman Returns an extremely entertaining movie. Which is one hell of a feat.
Yeah, he was awesome. I should really get 'round to getting that on DVD, as I've only seen it once, but it is a very, very good film. I wasn't keen on him in SR, though.
