Brick (film)

Brick is a 2005 American neo-noir thriller film written and directed by Rian Johnson in his directorial debut, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Brick was distributed by Focus Features, and opened in New York and Los Angeles on April 7, 2006.

The film's narrative centers on a hardboiled detective story set in a Californian suburb. Most of the main characters are high school students. The film draws heavily in plot, characterization, and dialogue from hardboiled classics, especially those by Dashiell Hammett. The title refers to a block of heroin, compressed roughly to the size and shape of a brick.

The film won the Special Jury Prize for Originality of Vision at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, and received positive reviews from critics. It has come to be regarded as a cult classic.

Synopsis

High school student Brendan Frye lives a lonely existence following his break up with ex-girlfriend Emily Kostich and the betrayal of his friend Jerr to the authorities. Brendan discovers a note leading him to a pay phone, where he receives a phone call from a terrified Emily begging him for help. She mentions a "brick", "poor Frisco", "Tug", and the "Pin", before abruptly hanging up. Her fear appears to have been caused by a passing black Ford Mustang, from which a distinctive-looking cigarette was thrown. Upon asking for information from his acquaintance named Brain, Brendan's search for Emily leads him to Kara, another ex-girlfriend - which further leads him to a Halloween party attended by a flirtatious Laura and her boyfriend, Brad Bramish.

Brick

Girl, I surrender, that's no lie
You don't remember, how I tried
All I can dream, all I say
Don't make it better
Walking around with a brick in my head
Hanging around, still trying to make it better
Thinking by now, that I'm sick in the head
'Cause it's everything that you don't want
Give you everything, but you don't care
Girl, I love you, but you say you don't
Hell it's everything that you don't want
Girl, it's a wonder, I survived
You are the hunger, burning my insides
Living your dream, call my name
I'll make it better
Walking around with a brick in my head
Hanging around, still trying to make it better
Thinking by now, that I'm sick in my head
'Cause it's everything that you don't want
Give you everything, but you don't care
Girl, I love you, but you say you don't
Hell it's everything that you don't want
Wait a minute, you got a noose around my heart
Come on, come on, come on, squeeze
All that your breaking is my heart
Your gonna freeze it, baby you've gone so cold!
(Girl, I surrender)
Walking around with a brick in my head
Hanging around, still trying to make it better
(Girl, I surrender)
Thinking by now, that I'm sick my head
'Cause it's everything that you don't want
(Girl, I surrender)
I give you everything, but you don't care
Girl, I love you, but you say you don't
(Girl, I surrender)
And it's everything that you don't want
Oh yeah, it's everything that you don't want
(Girl, I surrender)
I'll be brave this time
Cause it's everything that you don't want
(Girl, I surrender)
Giving you everything but you don't care
Girl, I love you, but you say you don't
(Girl, I surrender)
It's everything that you don't want
It's all everything that you don't want
(Girl, I surrender)
That's a lie girl
That's no lie girl
(Girl, I surrender)
That's all I'll say
'Cause it's everything that you don't want
(Girl, I surrender)
It's everything that you don't want
I give you everything but you don't care
