"What the F are you still doing driving a cab?"

[Complexion]

Are you Vincent or are you Max? Are you selling yourself dreams then lining up to buy them as you hide from the life you want but are afraid to live because, deep down, you don't feel you deserve it or are you doing what needs to be done, in the moment, one foot in front of the next with fixed intent and goals which keep you rolling.

Quite possibly one of, if not the, most important movie scenes ever released as it contains so much Game for those willing to challenge themselves.

What the F are you still doing driving a cab?

Collateral low-key one of my favorite movies and I don't think it gets talked about enough. If it's on, I will watch it like the first time.

One of my favorite films and one of my favorite scenes!

Vincent cooked his ass in that scene.

had him examine his whole life with dat ether...

But its all so true isn't it? A lot of people don't realize their life is one huge coping strategy designed to deflect them from what they want to do but will never do due to the mess that spins around in their head because of the life they've lived to get to this point right here.

Its crazy when you think about it because movies are laced with profound gems like this whilst the educational system and the rest is filled with useless crap. Makes you wonder if everything is actually flip turned upside down on purpose to see who gets it?

This entire movie was so dope as it just laid it out there, in black and white, because every Max truly wants to be a Vincent but won't because of the excuses and lies he tells himself.

Yep. I was a little too young to appreciate it initially, but this scene definitely shook me.


Sometimes art can force you to be introspective and take a hard look at yourself.

Watched this movie when I got a little older and that shyt was a kick in the chest.



My aunt looked me dead in the eye and said “The worst thing is to be an old person with regrets. If you have a dream, goal, etc put in the work and accomplish it”.

I'm not sure that's true
This guy breaks it down in an interesting way

The great thing about great art is it never speaks the same words in different ears.

We see the world not as we are but as it is so there are no correct answers when it comes to this. Take what works, leave the rest. Still breathing? Now we gotta make the best of it, improvise, adapt to the environment, Darwin, ish happens, I Ching, whatever man, we gotta roll with it...

Maybe thats what Vincent the misfortune cookie actually wanted after a lifetime of being an apex predator and actually coaxed it out of Max as a form of poetic justice? Or it could be he was just bullying Max because he could as he likes messing with people.

There is so much in this movie that one can unpack as there are layers upon the layers as its quite literally the story of man in the modern age when you consider the chasm between who they are vs who they want to be. That is the great secret that big business likes to keep hidden as it ensures the tills stay ringing as they peddle pointless solutions.
