The director of Venom: Let There Be Carnage loves how the film made use of its one F-bomb and the moment when it arrives.
SPOILER WARNING: This article contains major spoilers for Venom: Let There Be Carnage, now in theaters.
The limit with making a PG-13 film is that you are only allowed to include one F-bomb, and Venom: Let There Be Carnage director Andy Serkis believes it was used perfectly in the movie.
Serkis recently spoke in an interview with CBR about the film and was asked about the inclusion of the swear towards the film’s denouement. Spoiler warning given, the moment comes towards the very end of the film as Venom rises triumphant against his murderous foe, Carnage. Having separated the twisted symbiote from host Cletus Kasady and eaten it, Venom and Eddie Brock turn their attention to Cletus, who opens up to the lethal protector about how he just wanted to be friends with Eddie. However, Venom abruptly cuts the moment short by exclaiming, “Fuck this guy,” and bites the serial killer’s head clean off.
“I love that final scene between Cletus and Eddie, where they’ve had the big battle royale and now it’s down to two guys, in a sense, although Eddie is still Venom half-face,” Serkis said, discussing the emotional interaction between the film’s primary protagonist and antagonist, the latter trying to relate to the former. “But Cletus saying, ‘I’m still a killer with or without the monster’ and it’s raining and it’s very intimate and personal and is about their relationship and how they connect, and it’s quite heartfelt.” Of course, right after that connection comes the abrupt outburst from Venom.
“It just seemed perfect, that at the end of all of that, we undercut it and throw it away and have at it with the F-bomb. It just seems to be the perfect place for it, really.”
In the movie, Venom and Eddie go through a rough patch in their relationship, the film playing out as the love story Serkis had previously claimed it to be. Much of the resentment Venom feels towards Eddie is due to the rules and limitations that have been placed on the phenethylamine-dependent symbiote, forced to consume massive amounts of chocolate and live chickens to satisfy his need since his host will not let him snack on criminals’ brains, which are rich in the needed stimulant. To fight Carnage, Eddie promises his other that he would be allowed to eat everybody, including Kasady.
Venom’s F-bomb highlights him finally satisfying his craving and dismissing the villain that rampaged around the city and also threatened the life of the one person Eddie and Venom love, Anne Weying. It seems Serkis is proud of how the PG-13’s one allotted F-bomb fit into the story and added to the film’s final moments. Starring Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock/Venom and Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady/Carnage, Venom: Let There Be Carnage is now available in theaters.
