"Michael Clayton" is an amazing screenplay. What do you think Michael's future is? |

I just had to post this. Finally saw the movie the other day, and it was so good I watched it twice in a row.
How articulate, how authentic, what a perfect character arc, and how much mystery remains.
I would have to rank it up there with my other favorites. And it was apparently an original screenplay, not based on another source. (?)
Congratulations to this beautiful celebration of a whistleblower.
Anyone who has seen the film, my question is this:
What do you think Michael Clayton's future is? Is he ruined? Broke? Will he go back to compulsive gambling? Will he become like his brother, Timmy?
What will he do?

1. I agree, what a great character. I dunno. Maybe he just rides the cab around NYC. |
|
So many scenes that are just perfect. Like trying to clean up the rich guy's mess in Scarsdale at the beginning of the film.

2. I completely agree with you |

Same experience, roughly. Watched while Ms D was out of town, and 2-3 days later when she got back. Just such a fine example of "a well made" film. Efficient. Complicated. Never insulting. Lots of the acting is great, but you gotta give it up to GC. Completely nuanced performance. A near perfect role for him helps--a George Clooney sort of charmer growing world weary in front of our eyes--but he never overstates anything. Nearly pitch perfect.
