Also during Matthew’s chest beat; when Leo was looking offscreen, he was looking at Martin Scorsese for his approval, cause he thought it was out of the ordinary. (From what I’ve heard)
Kimchi G I don't know, so many incredible acting performances in Departed. I don't think anyone's acting particularly stood out in that movie. Just my opinion
That’s why whenever Leo was looking to his right, offscreen, he was looking at Martin Scorsese for his approval. Matthew owned this scene and he improvised most of it in one take 😂
@@sadas3190 Yes, that's what people in this job do. If you always know what's coming, the performance looks unnatural and stiff. You just go with whatever comes to you unless the director tells you otherwise.
@@eternity8811 Yeah you can find a video somewhere that has this scene alongside the script, and it completely fucking goes off the hook about half way through, it's amazing
@@fresh_dood thx I'll look for it. What's so cool is you can kinda see MMC is in the moment and searching for the right words like he's actually having a real conversation so it gives the lines so much more idk... reality effect than it would have if it was scripted. A unique scene in all filmmaking I think.
Both are incredible actors for this. Matthew for coming up with this on the spot, and Leo for being able to somehow work with it and make it look real despite having no prep or notice
I think that the most interesting part of this scene is that Matthew Mcconaughey's character is simply the embodiment and representation of future Leo in this movie.
Shout out to the waiter. Played his small part well. He knowingly laughs as he leaves the table adding a sense that this kind of talk is just normal around here.
@@makeoutbars2202 😆 I can tell you from the years working in food service he nailed how the average server would have acted there. Perfection. Probably strictly unnecessary but it gives the whole scene a sense of reality.
Matthew McConaughey is an acting genius. Every word, every facial expression, every gesture and sound are just so incredibly perfect. I kept forgetting that he was a famous actor. Fckn brilliant work.
@@ahabduennschitz7670 People with good friends are often in a good mood, and between you and me, I don't seem to be the bitter one. You don't really need to talk with anyone to know this, McConaughey played his character like a genius, but it's just a secondary character. It's barely mentioned after this.
I still laugh every time Leo asks if it’s good to make the clients money and Matt just says “no.” Like the self awareness of Matt’s character is so great. Dude is the devil himself inviting him in
Every subtle gesture done by Leo in this scene - especially the blank stare and singular blink at 3:23 - is golden. That single blink somehow fully communicated that he was as caught off guard by the question as we were. I love him so much.
Tbh, as wrong as it is, it’s the most blyatifully correct system there is or ever was… Seeing as to how empires grow and collapse every single time, and so do all currencies and economies and nations and governments, the beautiful part of this glorified Ponzi scheme we call the U.S. dollar and western economy, is that for as long as it lasts, it is truly worth the burden… because the alternative is to have this same amount of time but to suck… Instead, we have a completely BS system that allows for wild prosperity and opportunity, for a short time, until it flamboyantly fails, and then starts over and rinse and repeat… better that than socialism and etc… that’s basically America’s plan… to YOLO for a little while until it blows up like it would have anyways even if it were to be any other system imaginable… Such is current humanity and it’s point in spacetime and evolution.
Dude that literally is not american finance. It's like that everywhere, america and switzerland just do it the best, and it works pretty fucking well, you wouldn't be on this device if it didn't.
It’s crazy how the movie doesn’t have to tell you how much of an impact this meeting had on Jordan, Matthew McConaughey is never mentioned again but he defined his entire mindset.
@@xaviermoyssenalvarez4419 mostly the part about comission and how you never want the customer to cash out and sell their position. The more trades they make the more commission in your pocket. Client referrals are huge too, surprised they didn't mention that. The jerking off part is just funny but coke is definatelty common place.
Leo did an AMAZING job here. 90% improvised scene from Matt. 😂 At the point when Leo watched around, he didn't watch if anyone was looking at them. He watched the director and the cameragroup asking silently: "Wtf is going on? This shit is not in the script" 😂😂 And he STILL act the part perfectly. What a pro actor.
1:47 he delivers that “…no” fucking 👏 perfectly 👏 He conveys the entire premise of the scene in one word - that he’s about to reveal what it’s really like on Wall Street and begin Jordan’s journey into depravity - in one fucking word.
🤣🤣 If I could invest in comments like stock... I'd put the HOUSE on this blowing up...22 likes @14th April 2021... this will do a 1000x Had a wisdom tooth extracted yesterday and it hurts to laugh... this comment hurt me bad 😂😂
This scene is a tour-de-force illustration of how editing can enhance the comedic effect. The intentional ADR when he says "Pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this racket." The way Leo looks around anxiously when McConaughey makes his weird "digits" noises, and the timing of that cut. Brilliant.
@@philthompson729 the chest banging scene is actually unscripted. You can see Dicaprio is like looking around for the waiter, but actually he's looking at the director and the camera crew to see if the director would cut it. Since the director didnt cut so he just play along
Matthew's comfort in front of the camera is great. "You gotta stay relaxed" Well he does for sure. The guy is one of the most confident people on earth.
Well “officially” he didn’t but he really did. The Oscars did what they’ve done before & gave it to him for The Revenant because they couldn’t give it to him for this role. Everybody knows why he got it that year though, it was what’s referred to as a “Legacy Oscar” lol
It's funny seeing Jordan in this scene saying "no...I'm good with my water" knowing that he is about to become a full fledged junkie later on in the movie
@@joshrillo ohh true, true. Only problem is: what if I get excited later when talking money with a client? I get up to shake hands on a deal and they see my excitement...
I mean, it REALLY isn't that funny. Maybe if you have no idea what he said it's funny. The most funny thing for me was the seagull sound he makes when beating his chest.
How Leo didn’t win an Oscar for this movie is bewildering. We all remember his wild bombastic scenes of course but like here at the start he seems like a starry eyed boy in the big city for the first time. And then at the end of the movie he’s a broken shell of a man. And he pulls it all out seamlessly. You’d be hard pressed to find a movie that shows off an actor’s range so much.
@@perseus1054 Yeah, you’ve gotta understand what a metaphor is first, and be able to infer things. He’s implying that dealing with numbers all day leaves a corrosive and sour feeling that has to be alleviated somehow. Not exactly esoteric reading comprehension stuff here.
People go on about McConaughey in this scene, and for good reason, but I think it's worth pointing out that Leo does an excellent job of playing the complete opposite to his personality in most of the movie. Here he's nervous, out of his element, all smiles, nervous laughs and compliments, looking around to see if people are watching them.
Your point? This video captures the scene where Matthew McConaughey acted brilliantly, which is why people praising him "for this scene". Why would people talk about other scenes of movie in this scene's video?
Not to mention he seemed to care for his clients when he mentioned he wanted to make both sides happy. It’s crazy how his personality did a complete 180 from here on
He's actually looking around because Matthew McConaughey improvised parts of this and he was looking to thr director to see if he should go with it, especially the chest pounding part, 100 percent not scripted.
This scene and probably this very video on YT made me want to watch the movie many years ago. I was disappointed to not see Matthew M. anywhere other than in this scene but the movie was splendid enough to make me fall in love with watching cinema.
The whole scene Leo with him in this movie is just perfect, Matthew deliver every lines perfectly. He's phenomenal actor i've seen him in Interstellar.
You can really tell Leo's character trying to absorb all these overwhelming stuff and reconciling the fact that he badly wants it, at some point you feel him utterly disgusted albeit in character he doesn't show it and then even in the end you feel him accepting his life. What an actor
I feel like McConaughey didn't even know the camera was running when he was pounding his chest and chanting. It was him getting ready for the scene. Love that guy.
They could have used a better body double. In this scene, his face is silky smooth and when they zoom to the snort, it’s somebody with stubble under his nose.
Honestly I don’t think I can remember a scene from any movie that has this level of an actor, the level of this man’s acting is absolutely mind blowing good fuckkk!! He portrayed humour, wit, mixed with emotion & just comedic timing that even took di’caprio back for this 6 minutes!! What an incredible actor:)
Plese let's give a round of applause to the server guy. He's been working there for a long time, he's experienced and confident enough to deal with crazy Wall Street people and knows how to take care of them while being super efficient and composedly elegant. Nothing surprises him anymore, he's there to provide his excellent service and to makes a shitload of tips out of it ...LOL
Well, I know him personally. He is an all around awesome person! Not only he’s an actor, but he is also a bad ass drummer and, hold it…wait for it…an NPYD detective! I used to bartend at this joint where he would play several times a week! Thank you for the great conversations Mr. Jose!
@@markusz77 So he's a cop. That's the opposite of what I would describe as an awesome person. *At* *least* 40% of cops are domestic abusers and the rest of them are complicit by silence. Not to mention we all know the police routinely harass and murder predominantly poor, black people. Fuck cops, including this actor.
@@angelcaicedo6242 As a bouncer guests aren't too much of an assshole, because they fear you otherwise might not let them in. At least that's my experience. But I was shocked when doing the bar for an evening, just to see what it's like. The guests' lack of respect was astounding.
