👍👍 UNDERRATED FILM (1992) GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS - BRILLIANT *HUGE CAST* -- WATCH THIS ONE!!
Based on the play written by David Mamet and directed by James Foley, this 1992 drama Glengarry Glen Ross has by far the greatest dialogue I have ever seen and heard onscreen. I say "seen" in regards to words because this wonderful cast goes all out with their lines, their facial contortions and frantic gesticulations being tools that each of the actors uses to his advantage.
Examining the behind-the-scenes of a seedy real estate company, the basic premise follows a group of realtors who are competing for the Glengarry leads, which are profitable deals that are only given to the top sellers. The stakes are raised when it is announced that all but two of the top sellers will be fired.
Every actor in this movie shines, but I would like to focus on three in particular. Alec Baldwin has a short scene that nonetheless has gone down as one of the best movie scenes of all time and is considered to be an inspirational speech for everything a good worker in corporate America needs to abide by. Kevin Spacey plays John Williamson, a cold-hearted supervisor with a perpetually smug countenance, who seems to enjoy the superiority he has over the realtors. And Jack Lemmon plays a desperate realtor who is down-on-his-luck with a daughter suffering from an unspecified illness, and we can't help but pity him as he struggles to find leads and gain access to the profitable Glengarry leads.
Among the other cast members are Al Pacino, Ed Harris, and Alan Arkin, who complete an ensemble cast of seriously talented actors. Together with Foley's brilliant creative choices, Glengarry Glen Ross is successfully carried over from the stage to the big screen👍👍
