I haven\u2019t since a couple of weeks ago when somebody needed to comment on her management course a certain scene from this movie. It\u2019s about a (<em>dream<\/em>) team of salesman struggling to get better.<\/p>\n<p>Glengarry\u00a0Glen Ross cast consists of\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Al Pacino<\/strong>, <strong>Ed Harris<\/strong>, <strong>Kevin Spacey<\/strong>, <strong>Jack Lemmon<\/strong>, <strong>Alec Baldwin<\/strong>.\u00a0Seeing this distribution many of you might think it will be one of the best ever. As all the movies with too\u00a0many\u00a0great actors put\u00a0together, today, in 2012, I can say it\u2019s a fail.<span id=\"more-43\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Big time. First of all, I never heard a word so\u00a0many\u00a0times (in a movie or anywhere else) in my life: <em>lead<\/em>s. Ambiguous dialogues between salesman of a real estate agency,\u00a0struggling\u00a0to stay on the job after a more than unfriendly speech taken by the manager from \u201cdowntown\u201d about life, and business in general.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing that excesses are the usage of bad language. All of them are calling each other names, and let me tell you, if somebody did that around me it will get messy. Useless usage of language in a movie that had no right of having this caliber rooster and all that money for the production of it. No wonder no one promoted it. It goes around the same story over and over again, about the clients, about the target, about the <strong>LEADS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>OK, but as a teacher, why would you recommend your students to analyze a scene where devoted salesmen are put down by a much younger chief with a vocabulary that not even the warden from San Quentin is using? Life is hard enough, but somehow Glengarry Glen Ross makes it harder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Later edit: I wrote this piece 6 years ago.
