a slightly updated version of death of a salesman


-no idea what to expect
-color
-contrary public opinion
-ABC: always be closing
-AIDA: attention, interest, decision, action
-what the hell are they selling?
-"it takes brass balls to sell real-estate"
-phone with shoulder handle
-rain
-train
-the guy from apollo 13
-the guy from seven
-the guy from 30 rock and beetlejuice
-the guy from little miss sunshine
-the guy from scarface
-the guy from grumpy old men
-chalkboard
-bulletin board
-this reminds me of a slightly more updated version of death of a salesman
-"all train compartments smell vaguely of shit."
-every one of pacino's lines: gold
-"fhuck you! you owe me a car!"
-interesting power plays...whose got the biggest cock/who can yell fhuck you the loudest, and then back peddle the best.

i enjoyed the use of color in this movie, and how the majority of it took place in an office. and i appreciated the dialogue, which can be a painfully important detail. the exchanges/relationships between the different salesmen make it an interesting movie to examine character personalities.

i approve, and i'd watch it again: A
