David Mamet Hauert “villain” as a great crime film ever

“Well, we all got it in or the other: a little credible anger. A little bit of it, a little bit of it, and everyone who believes that they don't have been not yet pressed their button. And to a certain extent, it is what is a lot of my work.

For his pleasure, Mamet talks about his love for the film from 1971 Villainthose immersed in the true history of the notorious Kray Brothers, played in the film by Richard Burton and Ian Mcshane. Mamet was hit by Burton's appearance as a masterfully manufactured psychopathic villain and emphasized his raw and deeply relating representation of anger. This touch of “credible anger”, as Mamet puts it, taps into the darker corners of human nature – something that is reflected in his own work.

This segment was processed and compressed out of clarity.

I'm talking about one of my favorite films. It means Villain And it's about the Kray Brothers who were these stone circle killers in London in the 1960s. The two villains that the Kray Brothers play are Richard Burton and Ian Mcshane.

Richard Burton plays the best villain ever. He just doesn't care. He is a complete psychopath. It's wonderful. And the treatment for the film was written by Al Lettieri, who played Virgil Sollozzo in The Godfather. [He] Was also in The GewawaY as one of the murderers who throws half -eaten ribs on Sally Struthers for 45 minutes.

Well, we all got it once: a little credible anger. A little bit of it, a little bit of it and everyone who thinks they don't do it has not yet been pressed. And that is to a certain extent what my work is about. People who think we always do right like nobody thought that he or she did something for a wrong reason.

In this scene, when you are in the bedroom and you have to be quiet, Vic hits the s ** t. And then he has to be calm because his mother is down. Light up.

So everyone watches Villain. Just called VillainAnd it's a great thriller film.
