This scene is the most important because it is when he realises he made a mistake and it can't be reversed, and where he realises he has lost. This is a somewhat philosophical perspective on loss and grief. The rest of the movie is just the dark consequence. (Brad Bitt being fiber wired to death by decapitation)

This is a film that remained in my head long after I first saw it. Initially I wasn’t sure how I felt about it. There were certain things about it that I didn’t catch until after having rewatched it a few times. For example, the fact that nearly every scene in the film that doesn’t involve action of some sort (in other words, the vast majority of the movie) is a dialogue between two people / characters. In hindsight, although it’s not obvious upon first seeing it (at least it wasn’t for me), I’m guessing that may have been one of the main points of contention the audience had. The general consensus is that people didn’t like this movie at all. And I get it. It goes against the grain in so many ways. It’s been noted that this was the only screenplay that McCarthy wrote. As opposed to his novels that were adapted for the screen. He wrote this having that very specific format already in place. Some critics feel that may have been why it feels so odd. To Ridley Scott’s credit, he apparently didn’t tinker with it too much, if at all. A courageous and commendable choice; even if he was maligned after the fact. It’s a film unlike any other before or since. And every subsequent viewing is rewarding in different ways. This scene, with Reuben Blades is a standout. Even though it’s his only appearance in the film, Blades delivers his lines with a gravitas that not only breathes life into what’s written in the script, it also makes you wonder why this guy doesn’t get better parts! Also propers to Cameron Diaz as Malkina. Completely disagree with another comment criticizing her casting and performance. It was pitch perfect. Rarely has there been such an insanely written villain as Malkina and Cameron not only made her believable but she played her so as not to make her out to be a joke. Which could have easily been the case in the hands of a lesser actor. She made you take her seriously in spite of the fact that we literally see her having sex with a car. It might sound silly, but that’s an impressive tightrope act and she pulled it off.

It's a great touch, we see him do it a couple other times too. When he's talking to his contact in Mexico about getting in touch with Jefe, the other man says he doesn't want to be "in the center", to which the Counselor quickly corrects him, "In the middle". He's desperately holding on to these signifiers of being well-spoken and educated as a meager means of pretending he has any control over the horrifying situation he's in.

@ssseeeeb
18 күн бұрын
I think he means a thing which creates gold (what the philosopher's stone was said to do), a thing of worth, innovative worth, is in any civilization or context ignored or devalued by most people. (Or otherwise it would be used widely.) Recognizing the value in something thrown away by most is a method for learning and doing new, good things. And you can see the world better or more clearly (and therefore any philosopher's stones hidden in the mud) when you are at the end of your life, and your individual world, with its grand designs which blind you, are ending. This knowledge will be a comfort when dying, he says. I think those lines, and the manipulative string music playing under them as if this whole philosophical threat is inspirational, hurt the scene. I love the scene (its message is stoic, accept tragedy you can't change) but those lines come across as highfalutin, McCarthy and Blades' character getting too pretentious at the end of the speech Lose the string music, slow down the delivery would help it

For what exactly? He doesn't know El Jefe's name or has ever seen him or knows where he lives at all. Plus, what would he say: "I got involved with a drug cartel by investing in their business so that I could become a millionaire, but then the hundreds of kilos of cocaine I personally invested in got stolen and the cartel has very good reasons to believe I was involved in that, even though I wasn't at all, but I 've absolutely no way at all to prove my innocence, so they took my girlfriend"? And, in any case, it would've been pointless; Laura had already been raped, tortured, murdered and decapitated (all of which served as material to shoot a snuff movie) by that time; and *ANYONE* with common sense knows governments are accomplices of the cartels. And, finally, in the screenplay, The Counselor ends up dying as well.
