I always want to wrap Cecil in a blanket and give him some TLC. @oscar-isaacs-eyelashes He’s the one who is stuck with all the damage in the end. I really hated that. He was so childlike and he’s so badly used by a man he loves and trusts.I interpreted Cecil very differently. Did Harry take advantage of him? Sure. But when he starts shooting up innocent people at the end it is clear: Both these guys are sociopaths. Cecil gets off on the violence too.You can tell all throughout this movie: Cecil, despite his mild objections to Harry’s craziness, is having fun. He has a very empty life (mental problems, living off his girlfriend, no job from what I can tell). A revenge mission and a shooting spree sounds like a lot of fun.He’s far from innocent. And maybe worse than Harry in some ways. Because you *do* end up liking him a lot.You have a good point @mysharona1987. I never suggested Cecil was an innocent or that he was not responsible for what he does.He just got out of an institution again which means his fragile mental health is more fragile than usual. (I might have too much information on this since Cecil reminds me greatly of my brother-in-law who would do anything my husband asked of him no matter what it was and wow, did I have to intervene there)His cousin visits him to get him to go along on something that is already 20 kinds of fucked up knowing that Cecil will not refuse him. I don’t know if he could if he wanted to. Along the way pills and booze flow constantly which addles even the strongest mind. He inhales all of it. I never liked Cecil. I liked seeing him be used even less.Never mind the celebrity cameos. They’re a distraction.The really good scenes are just Harry and Cecil talking to each other in the car.Ostensibly, Harry’s in charge. He’s smarter. He’s colder. It’s his revenge mission. He does all the driving. Cecil’s a bit of an idiot. But Cecil has the charisma/looks of the duo. And Harry seems a bit scared of him at least once. It’s a wrestle for power.I giggled when you mentioned celebrities. Evidently my mind is going since I could not remember even one! I looked on IMDB and evidently none of them had me take my eyes off Oscar. Cecile is a bit of an idiot. He’s also happy to be a follower. Which is crazy/funny/sad since Harry is fuckall as a leader.Yup, Cecil had a girl and he looked just like Oscar. Harry had That Hair. (shudder)Poor Cec did not do much wrestling then since he sat out in the car after being left there because he was The EBD (Emergency Backup Dog-for when you have a second dog just to fill the gaps when your favorite dog dies)I thought if was obvious the only reason Mary Ann even stuck with Cecil (jobless alcoholic lunatic who regularly cheats) was because he looked like, well, THAT.@mysharona1987 Yes, indeed, he does look like that! He’s also got that ass.A lot of this movie is reading between the lines. So much goes unsaid. It’s why it’s so intriguing to me.The viewer has to do a lot of thinking. Dear God. When you realize what the true deal with Harry and the dog was. -- source link
