SpoilersThe Hedgehog From Hell says: "I shared a house in England with a couple of Germans in 1999. I was watching Star Trek: Deep Space 9 on BBC2. One came into the room and saw Jadzia Dax on the screen and said 'Oh! Is she still alive? You're really far behind in this country.' What's been ruined for you, and how? Apart from QOTW, obviously"

Usual Suspects, spoiled by me, for me. I popped round my mates as he had it on in the background, he'd seen it before. I proceeded to read his paper, natter, make a cup of tea and generally prick about until they reveal who Kaiser Soze is.
I really am a bellend.

Surely nobody is Keyser Soze?I always thought he was made up by Kint to scare everyone.

Herp derp. Kint narrates the entire story so the whole thing is his fabrication.(

Wikipedia seems to think Kint is Soze.I disagree as there's no need for Soze at all. As you say -- Kint narrates the whole thing.

He could have been Soze if they hadn't had the ubiquitous "spoonfeed the dullwitted audience" scene where the cop spots a bunch of names from the story on the noticeboard.(

Indeed.I think the Wikipedia Keyser Soze article must have been written by a credulous fuckwitt.

Forgive me if I'm wrong (I haven't seen the film in over 15 years),but is the twist not that, whilst Verbal's story is indeed bullshit, Verbal himself is not really a crippled loser, but rather a significant figure in the criminal underworld, not dissimilar to the mythical Keyser Soze?
Hmm, might have to watch it again.

There is no "mythical Soze" ... he's just part of the fabrication.That spoonfeed reveal essentially says "all the characters and events you've just watched are an invention of this entirely unexplained character who just walked out pretending to limp".

What Dr Hamshandy said.To expand on that, and what I typed earlier:
Since "Verbal" Kint narrates the whole story none of it has to be true. The "spoon feeding" with the photographs etc. just underlines this for the hard of thinking. Think Occam's Razor explained very slowly for special children.
