I do know that this is one a lof of people want to see, so that's why I'm uploading it, although I have NO CLUE anymore what I said :). So I hope I didn't make a complete fool out of myself (like not recognizing people that I already can recognize now that I possibly missed :)) posting this and you have a good time with it!

Oh this was a good one, and right up your crime story heart. Your messups and not recognizing the actors is part of your endearing charm that made us want to enjoy the ride of watching you discover our favorite films.

I might check it out. I haven't seen it. I've heard confusing things about it.

It's one of the finest crime/cop dramas of all time. I first saw it when I was 16 and I didn't find it confusing at all.

I don't think it's confusing, but I first saw it in the theater, which meant no distractions. It might be confusing if you watch for the first time sitting on your couch and either looking at your phone periodically or trying to get something done while you watch.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I've seen it easily a dozen times and I feel like I'm always noticing something I never noticed before. I like that the story starts with three protagonists that are not very likeable for one reason or another. Bud White is a brutal rule-breaker, Jack Vincennes is all about being famous, and Ed Exeley is a political killjoy. Then as the story moves along you see how each one of them is changed by the job. And if you'd ever told me I'd watch a scene where a tearful, contrite woman is backhanded by her boyfriend and I'd feel worse for the boyfriend... I loved the scene with Lynn and Exeley at the police station. Both beat up by the same guy and feeling horrible about how they hurt him. If you'd like a comedic crime movie with multiple nods to LA Confidential, watch The Nice Guys. Stars Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling, with Kim Basinger in a supporting role. It's absolutely hilarious.

Dont judge yourself for watching a Movie with Kevin Spacey. If you would go that road you couldnt watch half of Hollywoods Movies or so because of Weinstein and Epstein or Cruise for example. As long as you are conscious about it its totally fine imho. Otherwise, great Movie, great Cast.

It's amazing how many people give Bud a pass for beating Lynn. He is a terrifying human being because he cannot control himself. What will he do the next time he's angered by Lynn?

I don't give him a pass, I just recognize that it was emotionally devastating to him that he was capable of hitting a woman. It was the Worst Thing a person could do in Bud's eyes and now he has to live with having done it himself. This is entirely separate from how devastating it was for Lynn, that this man she felt so safe and respected with could do this to her. It's no longer a healthy relationship between them. Or at least not at this point. I won't say that they can't heal and create something healthy again eventually. But at the end of the movie they're at a point where they both feel such guilt and shame and each is likely refusing to put any blame on the other and it's awful.

Wow, this is one of my favorite movies for sure. If you were ever to make a YouTube edit out of this, I'd still enjoy it, but I'm already glad to know you as a friend of crime dramas had the pleasure to watch this one :)

Though the movie is largely fictional (based on the novel of the same name by James Ellroy), it contains many people and events that are true: Bloody Christmas, in which a large group of officers and detectives attacked a group of Mexican-American (and two white) suspect who were already in custody, actually happened although no reporters were present and LAPD officials managed to keep it under wraps for several months. Jack Vincennes was technical advisor for a television show about the LAPD. In fact the show was called Dragnet and started on the radio in the late 1940s before moving to TV in the 50s, where it lasted until the mid-1970s. It was very pro-police and its actual technical advisor early on was Chief of Police WH Parker. Mickey Cohen was a real gangster who ran organized crime in LA until he was arrested and convicted, and the LAPD organized a "goon squad" to kidnap and beat up his associates or others who tried to take over his operations. Johnny Stompanato was a Cohen associate who did date Lana Turner for several years in the late 50s. Stompanato, a jealous guy, actually flew to London when Turner was shooting a movie with Sean Connery. He confronted Connery in a rage and the actor beat the hell out of him. A year or so later, He had a violent fight with Turner and Turner's teenage daughter stabbed him to death. She was never charged.
