David once again takes us into the minds of the characters in his latest film. He talks about there mental state, what they might be thinking and feeling.
David is someone whos commenteries can make an average film better as he dishes out information on things we never even thought about when we watch his films for the first time.
This is a decent chat track as far as i am concerned, but then again i dont ever tire of listening to Mr Cronenberg talking.

The coolness in his voice doesn't hide his fascinating insights in making this masterpiece which is actually better the 2nd time you see it.

You really do get much more out of this film after you hear the commentary. That is more than you can ask from a commentary. Great info on how much Bello and Mortensen got into their roles.

Cronenberg is a master of the commentary form and is it any surprise he only ever does them alone? Insightful, thoughtful and gently humourous this is chock full of detail and there are many times I thought the filmmaker was directly talking to me - rarely does a commentary answers questions you have about a film while still maintaining that veil of magic about it (Mr Friedkin are you hearing this?). Cronenberg flatly denies that the film is David Lynch in style (I always thought it was) and believes this is the first time a certain sexual position was performed in a mainstream American film.

His anecdotes are many: the hotel was used previously in eXistenZ, the bar in The Fly, how Mortensen liked to decorate the sets with found items, how he obtained dvd's from the net on how to kill people on the street for the violent scenes and the real bruises Mario Bello obtained during the staircase sex scene. He also points out many things I probably only subconciously had realised: the cook's dream about stabbing his wife to be, the color of shirts of the softball team, the Ford/Hawks western motifs throughout, the numerous times that Mortensen would briefly drop into "Joey" mode, plus one that he hints at but never states out loud: that this film shares a kinship with Scanners - both are films about brothers. It's a shame all commentaries aren't this good, but then again, films are never this good.

Completely agree with the previous posts. Cronenberg is a masterful voice to listen to. This track makes his great film even better.
