Revolver explanation

Guy Ritchie's Revolver ft. Jason StathamI think I definitely need to see Revolver again. Even if it’s just so I can confirm that nothing slipped by me the first time I saw it.

There are a lot of people looking for a Revolver explanation. I don’t think there’s one but a lot of Guy Ritchie fans feel there must be more to it.

There’s an article in The Guardian that discusses the sly marketing tactics employed by Revolver’s PR agency. It included paying blogger and forum posters to create a “buz” for the movie. I wonder if they are still paying for that because I get quite a few “forum trolls” posting comments about how everyone who thinks this movie is anything short of a masterpiece should “die a horrible death.”

    Watched this earlier, and are tempted to watch it again just to try and make an even slight bit of sense from it, some of the plot twists werent actually twists and could be seen from a mile off, some of them didnt actually make any sense whatsoever, and some of them were so utterly wrapped in constantly repeated dialogue you spend more time concentrating on the quote on the screen than whats actually going on in the movie, an enjoyable film, but one that will give even the cleverest of people an enormous headache.

    All I can say is:

    The greatest trick that he ever pulled was making you believe that he is you.

    I loved the movie Revolver. I’ve watched my share of movies and this one is the best of the best. It’s an allegory.

    The movie is about your ego. Your ego is made up of ideas that you have gathered together by the time you were 5 years old. These ideas are what you believe to be you. When in fact they are not. Since you believe these ideas are you. You believe that the voice in your head that is telling you what to do is you. When in fact they are nothing more than a bunch of ideas. Your ego is not you. Therefore, the ego does not exist. Yet, it will rule you until you understand that your Ego is not you. Then and only then will the real you control your life. Until then you are nothing more than a puppet jumping to the whims of your ego. This is a head-trip I know, but if you watch the movie until the credits begin. You will see Chopra and others give you the answers to the whole movie. Afterwards if you watch it again you will get the movie.

    I loved this movie I honestly had to watch it twice but basically like the quote in the movie, “The greatest enemy to have ever existed is a eternal one” and there is no such thing as an external enemy. You can hurt/destroy you eternal enemy by pleasing your external perceived enemy. In the movie Green is telling Macha (Ray Liota) to forgive him for his stupidity and that he has underestimated his intellegence and you can hear his battle with his ego (internal enemy) just think about it. Think about a person you don’t like, someone who has wronged you, can you imagine telling them that they were right and you were wrong. That would bruise your ego right??? That’s the whole concept here. I percieve the ego as being satan considering I’m religious but to non-religious folk think of it as some unexplained force. “The greatest con he ever pulled was making you believe he is you”. (My favorite qoute) “The greatest trick satan ever pulled was convincing man he did not exist”. Catch my drift? My comment goes hand in hand with Mystics.
