Why Glengarry Glen Ross Is One Of The Greatest Movies Of All Time

glengarry glen ross

What else can be written about James Foley’s adaptation of David Mamet’s Pulitzer prize winning play other than devastatingly scorching.

Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, Ed Harris, Alec Baldwin, Kevin Spacey, Alan Arkin, and Jonathan Pryce: perhaps the greatest acting ensemble ever put before a camera, collectively portray employees of a real estate agency- the sales department. Some of the greatest characters written in the 20th century cinema. Lemmon, ‘the machine’ Levene, is the old hero, now on a steady and sharp decline. Revered by others. Pacino,Ricky Roma the hot shot. He keeps an arm’s length from everyone. Alan Arkin, George, is simply the loser. Never was hot, never will be – totally hopeless. Ed Harris is Dave Moss, a fighter, kinda like DeNiro in Raging Bull. Not hot, willing to do anything to reach the top. Like a rabid pitbull. Frustrated and at the boiling point. Kevin Spacey, Williamson, is the manager. A puppet of the owners, a real pencil pusher. But at least he doesn’t live off of door-to-door sales. Alec Baldwin, in his greatest performance of his career, only taking up a mere 10 mins of screen time, tears the screen to shreds and burns the film up with one of the most incendiary, provocative, foul-mouthed, scene-chomping speeches ever. I was 17 when I saw this in the theatre and Alec Baldwin blew my mind with that scene. In college we used to watch this film over and over and rewind the speech 10 times over. We knew every line, every gesture. Jack Lemmon’s face when Baldwin yells "Put that coffee down! Coffee’s for closers". Or "You see this watch? this watch costs more than your car".We would kill ourselves laughing, that’s how much we loved it.


Mamet’s character driven screenplay delves into the place in our souls and in our psyches, where desperation exits. The men live off of selling near useless Florida real estate, and their tool is the cold call – the hard sell. Lemmon, Pacino,and Bladwin are true masters. Gold belt senseis of the cold call. The bullcrap that they can unload is remarkable. Stream of consciousness. Lie upon lie. Smug and greasy. Pacino’s monologue to the hapless gimmel Pryce, leads to tangents about pedophilia, and the stench of urine in subways. He wields a cheezy brochure of the properties like it’s Shakespeare, with a picture of a fabergé egg on it. Lemmon meanwhile desperately stands in rain drenched phone booths, creating illusions to the listener like a verbal ballet. When he worms his way into one of the lead’s house, he plants himself on the couch and grabs a stuffed animal he sees there. That little thing he does there, that gesture; in those 3 seconds, his character’s conflict is symbolized. Though the guru to all younger than him, his decline is turning into an avalanche, ready to bury him. He is so desperate he resorts to the cheesiest, phoniest, approaches. It is heartbreaking to watch. Drama not unlike that of the great Greek tragedies of Aeschylus and Euripides. Classic human fare. Alan Arkin is slightly type-cast as the bumbling, mumbling, passive, loser. He has done it so many times. But this has to be the apex of that characterization for him. Ed Harris is so full rage, spitting venom (and literally spitting on Al Pacino during his farewell speech, his "farewell to the troops"). It is literally one of the most expletive laden tirades ever projected in mainstream cinemas. You are just waiting for his ears to smoke and his head to explode. Gut wrenching. Williamson, is subject to, by Roma and Levene, the harshest tongue whippings ever. Ferocious, nasty, derogatory. Spacey is literally humiliated by these masters of bulls**t. He most certainly gets his comeuppance; and later, a pretty nasty little service return of his own. Much is written in these reviews about the swearing in the film. Swearing, in Mamet’s works, is part of the syntax of those worlds. It is almost like the curse words become subtext. It is like the plié in his abusive ballet of words. But nonetheless, umbrage can be made about this matter. It is after all, foul swearing, carpet-bombed from a writer who uses it as his key verbal motif. You simply have to accept as Mamet’s artistic license and move on. It is one of those things that you simply cannot let ruin the experience for you. Mamet is widely considered one of the greatest living playwright and screenwriter in the English language. Just consider the swearing as part of the stylization of the cold-caller salesman language.

The narrative of Glengarry Glen Ross takes place in one evening and the next morning, and is mostly in a dingy office and a Chinese restaurant. Superbly light, and with an awesome jazz score, it has great camera moves that highlight, accent, punctuate, and round out the actors’ performances. My favourite motif is the subway that rattles by – at crucial moments of crucial dialogues. It is interesting to note, that the director, James Foley, who superbly crafted this ensemble piece, never really became an A-list director. All the elements are there, perfectly and purposely assembled – the sound, the image, the performances. Perhaps, Mamet did more directing than the writer normally would? Or did the real cinema pros – the cast – just take the ball and run, literally directing the film themselves, so used to playing those roles on stage, with the exception of Pacino and Baldwin. Another note of interest, is that I have seen this film numerous times, with a variety of people, and have yet to meet a female who liked it. This seems to categorize Glengarry Glen Ross as perhaps one the more masculine, testosterone soaked, man-only films ever. Like wild male animals fighting it out in the jungles. Despite that, I say this is definitely a must see for guy and gal cinema lovers all over.

These amazing embryonic animal photographs of dolphins, sharks, dogs, penguins, cats and elephants are from a new National Geographic  Documentary called “Extraordinary Animals in the Womb”. The show’s producer, Peter Chinn, used a combination of three-dimensional ultrasound scans, computer graphics and tiny cameras to capture the process from conception to birth. They are the most detailed embryonic animal pictures ever seen.

Quite Possibly The Most Motivating Thing You Will Ever Read

motivation

by onwardAgain

You know, a lot of people have never seen their breaking point. And in a way that’s very sad… The bottom of that pit is where you eventually find a snarl to put on your face and the will to climb out into the light and shape the very world into something more pleasing. More pleasing to you. It turns out the world is very malleable if you put the work into it.

We all get knocked down. Hard, sometimes. Sometimes we get knocked down real hard.

Ya just can’t beat a person who never gives up, though.

The breaking point. That’s where the best life lesson is. You felt so little and so hurt, you even wanted to just give up and die. But you’re still here, right? You shrugged it off because it sucks but you can bear the emotional weight of it. Day after day, ending it all just doesn’t make it onto the to-do list. Maybe ’cause you’ve got other shit to do. Maybe because you know you’re better than that. Maybe you’ve got the same thirst for greatness we all do and you’re not satisfied with where you’re at so far. Or maybe just because you don’t think it’s the right thing to do.

So it sucks, but you trudge through each day anyway. This is the key to everything in the world. How many people start up a workout routine but then fade off because one day they wake up and it’s too dark, too cold, too early? Those people don’t ever get in shape. But you can. You can because dark, cold, and early are pesky but in the grand sum of depressing things you’ve had to deal with, waking up early is trivial. it’s kind of a joke. Working out is hard and you feel weak and powerless because you can barely lift the thing and you so badly want to just put the bar down and go home when you’ve set a goal and your body gives out halfway there. So a lot of people do. They give up, make up some excuse, and walk out the door. How many days have you had a chance to do that? How many times have you hit your breaking point, but then shoved it back instead of breaking? So people like you can don’t hit boundaries and go home. People like you have the ability to stick it out and finish the job. Even if the job sucks, you’ve survived worse. So you can finish the workout and then stack on five more reps because fuck it and fuck it all and fuck the bar and everything sucks and this hurts but that’s nothing new so five more and then five more and then five fucking more.

How many people tell themselves they need to read more? How many people want to paint? How many people want to go back to school? How many people want to change their lives?

Wasting time. Nearly all of them are wasting their time. They’re going to start off and then drop off as soon as the going gets tough.

"tough".

Like it’s fucking hard to wake up early and spend a half hour turning pages.

Like watching bob ross tapes is in any way more difficult than putting socks on.

You’ve seen tough. You’ve seen tough and bob ross videos ain’t it. You’d be surprised how many people give up on that, though. The thing is that most of the things you can do to get a better life suck to do. Learning to paint is frustrating because you feel you’re trying hard and you’re not making anything worth looking at. That’s a horrible feeling, trying hard and failing. But if you keep doing it anyway, you’ll blaze past the folks that gave up because painting #3 didn’t sell for a hundred thousand dollars. Everyone wants to be big but no one wants to spend time lifting heavy-ass weights because doing that sucks. Doing that sucks and they don’t know how to snarl and trudge through something that sucks.

But you do.

You know it well because you’ve had to do it a lot.

So now you’ve got a tool that almost everyone I’ve run into lacks. You can weather the worst of storms with a plain face. When everyone’s going through hell, some people lay down and cry but when you’re going through hell you keep going. Didn’t you? You did, didn’t you. So you know you’ll make it through anything, even if it sucks. I can’t tell you what a powerful tool that is. Your body gets impressive quickly because you finish your workouts. Your resume gets a-listed because you study until you’re confident about the material, not until the party starts. You’re proud every day because you go out there and try to do the right thing and there’s no shame in that, even if you fail. You’re able to do all of these things because they require physically exhausting yourself, skipping a party, and not doing shady fun things. And each of those sucks but you’ve weathered worse storms.

You know you can make it through anything. So fuck it. Pick something hard and take a swing. Just don’t give up; you already know that’s not your style and you already know you can make it through anyway.

On Being ‘The Nice Guy’….

nice guy

by inedible_strawberry

Think of a girl that you like as a gunshot victim lying in the street. Do they care if you are a nice guy? Don’t think so. They want to know if you can do surgery.

But does that mean that I can only get girls if I’m rich and have money?

"No, your brain jumps to that conclusion so you have an excuse to write off everyone who rejects you by thinking that they’re just being shallow and selfish. I’m asking what do you offer? Are you smart? Funny? Interesting? Talented? Ambitious? Creative? OK, now what do you do to demonstrate those attributes to the world? Don’t say that you’re a nice guy — that’s the bare minimum. Pretty girls have guys being nice to them 36 times a day. The patient is bleeding in the street. Do you know how to operate or not? "Well, I’m not sexist or racist or greedy or shallow or abusive! Not like those other douchebags!" I’m sorry, I know that this is hard to hear, but if all you can do is list a bunch of faults you don’t have, then back the fuck away from the patient. There’s a witty, handsome guy with a promising career ready to step in and operate."

Saying you’re a nice guy is the bare minimum. "Saying that you’re a nice guy is like a restaurant whose only selling point is that the food doesn’t make you sick. You’re like a new movie whose title is This Movie Is in English, and its tagline is ‘The actors are clearly visible.’"

You don’t have to be good looking to attract girls, aside from meeting a minimum standard. (hint go to the gym at least 3 times a week for God’s sake, especially if you’re young and have the time) You have to offer something else to compensate for that though; remember that girls have guys being nice to them all the time. So are you funny? Are you top of your class? Do you have tons of interesting stories? Do you have cool friends? Do you invite her to interesting events?

Even ignoring all that. You say you’re nice. How do you show it? Do you volunteer at charities? Do you talk to that weird kid and invite him to sit with your friends? Do you stand up for the guy being bullied? Do you hug the ugly girl who just lost her mother? Being a GENUINE kind person is far different then being a "nice guy"

Maybe you do cool activities? You can juggle, you can play piano/guitar, you’re a boss at basketball? If you don’t have anything to do, then learn. You can get good at anything with practice. Join the swim team or Brain Bowl team, learn to cook, practice piano, I don’t fucking care just DO something.

Pretty much what I’m trying to say is that it doesn’t matter if you have all the charm in the world, if you have all the kindness in the world, if you are the coolest dude in the world. If the girl you are interested in doesn’t know it, it doesn’t mean jack shit.

One more thing. At least in my experience, girls love to be teased. They love a guy who will poke fun at them, make fun of their dumb mistakes and say they are better at things they clearly aren’t. It’s not being a jerk, I mean you and your male friends probably heap shit on each other all the time, why not do it to girls?
