One of my favorite monologues in cinema. See the whole movie if you can. Yes, Alec Baldwin was once this young, also see him in Glengarry Glen Ross where he delivers another epic monologue.
She doesn't look all that bad. On the other hand, Janine Turner, Melanie Griffith, Denise Richards, Courtney Cox, Megan Fox, Lisa Rinna, Vivica Fox, Lil Kim, Serena Williams, Golden Brooks. And then, there 's Mickey Rourke and Carrot Top like WTF!
Alec Baldwin is one of the mst most underrated actors in the history of American film. His monologues are nothing short of legendary. Go watch Glendary Glenn Ross.
Onetime the division president of the company came down and quoted us “FIND THE LEADS” unironically . It was at that point I knew I had to get out fast.
It’s why he could convincingly carry a scene like this lol. You could totally imagine an extremely accomplished, super attractive, well-spoken dude being THIS full of himself.
@@toddgaak422 Let’s not get carried away. I mean he’s not a child molester. He has a bad temper, but this whole tragedy shooting on the set is complete garbage. When the actor is handed a firearm he assumes the gun wrangler has made it safe. It wasn’t his fault.
Favorite scene: The great Anne Bancroft playing the boozed-up mother of Kidman and talking to the naive Pullman. He was smart enough, though, to bring a bottle.
"You ask me if I have a God complex? Let me tell you something: I AM GOD....and your name is you're wanting. You can't play in the man's game, you can't close SHIT, YOU ARE SHIT, HIT THE BRICKS PAL, AND BEAT IT COS YOU ARE GOING OUT! (beat, gets up) .... This sideshow is over. (leaves room)"
I saw this movie in the theater and never forgot it, and as soon as I was able to, had to upload it here as one of my favorite monologues. (If you like brilliant monologues, see Glengarry Glen Ross...)
This is why one would hear the oft-repeated phrase "oh, he's such a Baldwin!" (in the movie 'Clueless," maybe?). Yes, in "Clueless" Cher says that Josh is a Baldwin (though I would strongly disagree).
So many cool things happening at once in that scene, the best in a pretty good film which plays at camp but never crosses the line. Watching this now, I was so impressed by Josef Sommer playing the hospital lawyer with just a hint of menace until he has to do a hard pivot at the end. When you see the whole film, you realize he was the one being blindsided in that room. His great feat is how he lets you enjoy that.
Its a fair assessment to say the god complex is very much a belief among dotors/ stroke, surgeons, you virtually are the final conduit ,on an operating table ,between a patient living or dying ,there's no denying that feeling. Of without me ,without my skill my ability i am your last hope , therefore i am the only god you need.
@@Tommyboy6426: I've recently been listening to his podcast, and you can't tell what subject he's going to cover next. And he pretty much is like the person you describe.
@@alricthered226 Yeah, and at the time that GQ interview came out, I was a little disappointed because I wanted to hear more about him. But now, after everybody is calling him a narcissist, when he’s not, I’m grateful for that interview because it shows he is t narcissistic.
I watched this years ago before i could drink. Now as an adult, I am a bourbon connseieur and the reference to "shots" of bourbon offends me: one does not do SHOTS of bourbon.
This role was nary a big stray from Alec Baldwin's real personality. If someone dies at his hands, in his mind, it couldn't be his fault. It's the fault of others and his lawyers will prove it.
If that were true, you'd be also going after all th celeb cases of accidents and deaths, on sets, caused by various circumstances, over th decades.... But u don't. U elect, instead, to follow the current trend and attack a guy who previously had a spotless criminal record and an amazing career in film and tv.
She was in her 20s here. Its pretty much peak naturally attractive age. Afterwards you need some artificial help. For some reason most aging actors rarely mention the 'artificial' help they get to still look young.
It was on the level. 2016 was arguably less so. All of it pushed by Russian propaganda (which is their area of expertise unfortunately). Goal is destabilization of the US. You guys are all "follow the money," now it's time to "follow the sovereign-state chess match" And the reason I know it was on the level is because Trump's own appointed judges threw his cases out. What more convincing evidence do you need?
This scene had 10 white people in it - and I'm sure at the time nobody complained. If they redid this movie in 2023 it would be a mixed bag of races sitting at that table.
@@TheForkhandles It wasn't good BECAUSE of the race of everyone there. It was good because of the script. The scene would be as good regardless of the racial composition.
@@TheForkhandles what kind of idiotic comment is that? So much unpleasantness and stupidity crawling out of the woodwork these past few years. If we live in a fair, decent, meritocratic world, then power won't be concentrated in the hands of old white men in suits. So yes, a fairer mix is a better mix. An improvement. Try and be part of the solutions not part of the problems. Plenty of bigots around - you don't want to encourage them or be mistaken for one.
I'm a doctor and the premise of this movie never made sense to me. Basically what's happening is that Alec Baldwin's character is faking the "god complex" so that he and his secret girlfriend (nicole kidman) can get a massive insurance settlement. But in order to do this, Baldwin's doctor character will have a difficult time maintaing hospital privileges and is certainly at risk of a medical board action. So we have to assume that Baldwin is just completely fed up with medicine and never wants to work as a doctor again after this con game is played. Like I said, I don't get it. It's not worth it to throw away your career like that.
Yeah well I think even people that do believe in God will eventually lose faith when prayers go unanswered long enough. "God complex - Wikipedia" en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_complex
