Spoiler: Funeral Scene

I swear that at the funeral for John Malkovich the organist played a few bars of "You can't Always Get What You Wanted". I found it amusing, but it was done already in the Big Chill.

I'd like to know how he didn't bleed or flinch when Willis was stabbing him in the hand with the pin. And his hand looked uninjured for the duration of the film.

Did anyone in your theater laugh at how there were less than 10 people at the funeral?!!

"George is dead. Call me back."
RING. Hello?
"Hi. It's George."

Actually, no one laughed at all through the whole movie,

They sure laughed at the showing I was just at.
And it was probably a fake arm vs his real arm . So of course the needle did not hurt him.

i was wondering more about how he had an open casket funeral when supposedly he got blown up in his car.

That is an excellent question! (You really made me laugh by the way)

I particularly liked the nod to the Moldovan Job at the end of Red. The people of moldovia will never forget - and the two women in the front nodding along.

LOL!

I caught that as well. Oldie but a goodie, gag-wise.

I noticed that too!!!

I think it was implied that it wasn't actually him in the casket, and that he wasn't even at the funeral at all. Remember at the beginning of the movie when Malkovich saves Willis after the interrogation scene and he says that he was touched that he cried at his funeral, and then Willis gives a look to whats her face like "I can't believe you told him that" and then goes on to deny it? SO I guess it must have been a fake body or something.

TonyMan@: I noticed it almost immediately. It was played the whole time during the funeral scene.

I thought that sounded familiar.

[–] rdare 10 years ago

I thought it was odd since he supposedly got burnt in the car how he looked nice enough for the funeral.

@TonyMan: I was thinking that the writers or someone liked the movie Big Chill and wanted to put it in there like a gag or something. Tickled me. I was hoping someone else noticed too.
