This was a dangerous film for the psyche... be warned!

Unfortunately, it seemed all too common where if one points out that something shouldn't be seen, everyone has to stop and take a look. I don't want to build it up too much. I secretly enjoy this film, partly for the mystery and suspense, great performances, and a whole lot of nostalgia. If you want to watch it for the first time, I won't stop you. I don't burn books or other subversive art. I would suggest The Usual Suspects falls into this category though.

I find it to be gay-culture propagandistic by Kevin Spacey and director, Bryan Singer, who both benefitted the most due to it's reputation. I'm glad neither of them have the same sort of clout as they used to. I celebrate Christopher McQuarrie, on the other hand, for winning an Oscar for this. I think his screenplay was a traditional mystery of great quality, and was hijacked by Singer to visually be something intrusive to our mind and ethics. An attempt at indoctrination and brainwashing.

I know homophobia is a bad word nowadays, but I'd like to make a suggestion that may offend some. It seems humanity tends towards having a certain slice of animosity and conflict in their lives. The powers-that-be know this. This is why wars are still a focus and a business. For most, these events happen far from our line-of-sight, and they give us something to supplant our hatred in a way that doesn't intrude on our daily lives and relationships. We are still productive and non-violent. Nobody wants to sing "Kumbaya" and hold hands, because it seems belittling, so we have angst. I don't want to drop bombs and invade countries anymore, though. I find the human race can be in harmony.

At what cost, though? Where do we redirect our conflict?

Why don't we declare war on the gays? Figuratively. I think everyone should feel comfortable bullying this minority, but no other. Just keep it fun and not too devastating. We are doing a hell of a lot now to be culturally diverse and inclusive, but someone needs to pay the piper. If you respect humanity on a scientific level, the species, then the LGBT (what 7% total?) are a natural choice for outcast. They are biologically-selected for abuse.

Bryan Singer, a gay man who made this film, and the X-Men films knows this. In case you weren't aware, the persecuted mutants of the X-Men series were designed to draw a parallel to homosexuals. The man does propaganda. He may be fearful and probably thinks it's self-preservation to brainwash youth, but that's not the case. Hardly anyone wants demean, destroy, arrest, or deny his rights. Not even me who's quite obviously not thrilled about gays in general. You see, he's projecting his own depravity. That's why we should fear him just as society rejected Marvel's famous mutants, in his own films.

The Usual Suspects film had far too much affect on my generation, who were teenagers at the time of release. Toxic Masculinity. Celebration of criminals at the expense of law enforcement. A huge twist ending for us which distracts from the mise en scène that he's using to infect and incept our minds with counter-values.

Watch it, but remember this. Customs Agent Dave Kujan (Palminteri) & FBI Agent Jack Baer (Esposito) are who we all aspire to be. Keyser Soze is a loser. Tell your kids.
