The Big Kahuna e un film din 1999, adică fără 3D-uri şi alte efecte speciale de mare angajament deci un film plictisitor, de care mi-am amintit citind textul lui Alex şi comentariile.
Larry Mann (Kevin Spacey) este un om de vânzări cu experienţă şi vrăjeală de câine ud (asta nu înseamnă ceva rău), un fel de a-lister dacă am face o paralelă. Acesta îi explic lui Bob Walker (Peter Facinelli) care e un tânăr învăţăcel, o chestiune foarte interesantă:
- There are people in this world, Bob, who look very official while they’re doing what they’re doing. And do you know why?
- Why?
- Because they don’t know what they’re doing. If you know what you’re doing, you don’t have to look like you know what you’re doing. It comes naturally. You follow me?
- Sure.
- Okay. So now, do you know how you can tell the difference?
- No.
- All right, the way you tell is… a little voice pops up in the back of your mind to say that this guy who’s sitting before me, or she, is lying through his teeth and telling me stories. Now, once you get that little piece of information, what do you do?
- Uh… Uh, I don’t know.
- Here’s what I would do. I would say “Buddy, I’ve heard a lot of horseshit in my time, ’cause God knows I’m a salesman and we all have to wade through our share of the snow to get to the cabin, but you take the cake. I don’t believe you have the first idea what you’re talking about. Your children admire you, I’m sure, as we all hope they do, and maybe your wife doesn’t know, but I know, and my knowledge forces me to call you on the fact that you are a goddamn cocksucking liar from the word go!” And then I would sit down and finish my soup.
