"Damn, I've won" has got to be one of my favourite lines in the film. I really like that the devil is only interested in the fun of the chase and not actually winning because winning means game over.
The devil's upset because he won too easily. A good match becomes memorable when you win at the very last second, and yoru adversary is skilled enough to annoy you for a very long time!
No it wasn't because it was easy. It was because that meant the game was over. It is clear that he enjoyed playing. Whether it was because he enjoyed torturing Parnassus or because he truly enjoyed Parnassus company and came to respect him is up for debate. But remember, he said "your pops would never forgive me. That'd be a shame"...
@@blaqwhole4998 He definitely sees Parnassus as a friend at this point and only continues the game as an excuse to hang with him more. He genuinely didn't want his bro's daughter to be tormented in hell but she chose this.
She Never actually Lost it. It was temporarily "put on the shelf" and used as a Bargaining Chip for Something Bigger, and Better. Also helps when he is more "friendly" with The Dad.
I drove myself crazy trying to find this film. You see, I have a very vague memory of this very scene as a child, but of course I probably couldn't read then. I would randomly remember fragments of this scene as I grew up and I HAVE NO IDEA why it haunted me for so long--I didn't even know the name of the movie or what it was about. IT IS EXACTLY AS I REMEMBER IT--down to the part where she gives a kiss goodbye and enters a mirror, and then the guy seems disappointed or annoyed and says something along the lines of "dammit". THANK YOU SO MUCH person on reddit for including this on your recommended films list 🥺
Carmen Capistrano bro you found this only 4 months ago? crazy, most of these comments are hella old. Man, you could've just wrote a question in like an r/movies or something asking about a girl running through with glass shattering in a surreal black environment?
Go watch the music video for "I'm your baby tonight" by Whitney Houston. It tells the same story as this movie- the purpose of the mirror realm we live in and the game that is played by the entity that owns it.
Yeah I feel you too Feel Those things you do In your eyes I see a fire that burns To free the you That's running through Deep inside you know Seeds I plant will grow One day you will see And dare to come down to me Yeah come on come on now take the chance That's right Let's dance
@@leafyishereisdumbnameakath4259 no lol he did prep for Batman ages before this. Lol do you actually think you would go into a role like the joker with no prep? Lol omg lol
Nah, it wasn't too easy. They had been playing this game for centuries. He said "damn" because at some point he start to enjoy playing the game with Parny and even began to respect Parny as a friend. Hence, the reason he said "you pop would never forgive me". To me it seems like he kept rigging the game so it would go on indefinitely. Since he was worried that her dad would be mad at him, to me that means he thought it was more of a friendship.
Blaq Whole closer to a gambling buddy than a friend. If Parnassus ever truly lost he would walk away from the table. Nick doesn’t want that, he wants the constant stakes and ever present “double or nothing!”
