In addition to the intended meaning of what Morra was trying to say, which was clearly to ask for a bib, no Mandarin speaker with proper pronunciation would crack a pun on two words that differ in intonation. Most, if not all, such puns you refer to are homonymic, i. Well, that was a lot of verbiage for very little purpose. But I just wanted to clarify. I think Morra knows that the Waiter knows about his political career, because he is close to the restaurant, so in that context the Waiter will understand the reference to the clean hands It's a additive, included in food to boost flat commercial flavor.
Asian restaurants use it profusely. Don't worry about not knowing, being millennial is not a mistake. You will grow someday. Good luck. I Googled this Hoping there was something profound in the exchange, Since it was the fin al scene of the movie. But the final degree of linguistic comfort is to understand and come up with puns in real time. Whether Cooper pronounced the Mandarin correctly, intelligibly, or not is beside the point of the scene. We in the primary target audience monolingual English speakers , without any subtitles, understand that he 1 knows the menu already, 2 can order in Mandarin, and 3 can joke around in Mandarin with the surprised waiter.
The extra layer of dirty hands being an English double-entendre could just be intended for his own internal entertainment. Thank you so much for such a thorough and nuanced explanation -- you really did a great job and I quite appreciate the effort! You're right, the final exchange really does end the film on a good note, clever on multiple levels at once. And yes, my goodness Cooper should have learned the phrases phonetically!
Well damn, now I'm a bit disappointed, because it was a good ending to a damn good film. I've only just started learning Chinese, so I guess I'll be wincing at this ending at some point in the future. I think we felt like we had told the story of Brian under the thumb of Eddie Morra and Sands, and needing to get those clandestine booster shots. But we really wanted to have Rebecca and Brian move forward on an honest footing with each other.
The need for the immunity shot for Brian, and the layers of deception that go with it, we cleared the deck to explore a relationship between Brian and Rebecca in a more meaningful and honest way. To get more specific about the way the immunity works, is this a situation where if someone wanted to replicate it, they could test Brian and try to duplicate what they find?
They could certainly try, and it would be interesting. Piper is not out there, giving it away freely; he is a kind of Rosetta stone , which makes him a lot of interest to them in Season 2. A new adversary will emerge in Season 2—who has a history with Morra—who Morra will take very seriously.
Note: A charactacter just saying something is not concrete evidence of truth. Leslie Dixon : Well, I was in control of the script. Q: Quite an accomplishment for a writer—or in this case, writer-producer, which seems to have made the difference.
In the end, other writers come in and polish things and shit. I think it sucks. That was a bad day. And that alternate ending is a perfect example of what happens when the studio has some ideas, I know what I want but a lot of other people are chiming in, the actors have ideas—and it ends up being the way no one wants.
But that was really the only area of the movie where anything like that happened, and fortunately we had the chance to fix it.
Leslie Dixon : That was something that was not in the original ending, or the book. I haven't seen the TV show but it doesn't take a very large leap of imagination to see how they could have felt free to pursue their own creative avenues, taking into account the movie ending wasn't "set in stone", so to speak. Something that I heard through the grapevine was that you reshot the ending and that the original ending was a little bit more ambiguous.
The ending that you have released is a little bit more definitive. Could you talk about whether or not that is true and the reason why you did that? Burger : Well, we were working very fast. I think the original production was about 43 days, which for the number of locations, effects, fights, and all of that stuff we were doing was a pretty tight schedule. So we were moving quickly. We had never quite loved the ending. We were changing it and fine tuning it till the end.
What we reshot is almost like an expansion of what had been in the original ending. I started coming up with ideas and I was pitching them to Leslie [Dixon] to write, but we could never get De Niro and Bradley [Cooper] in the same place at the same time until about two months ago actually in January. So, we then went out and did it. It just has more beats. Sign up to join this community.
