Has Matt Damon Been Studying The Art Of Approaching?
Matt Damon, Consumate PUA
I just saw that new Martin Scorsese crime drama “The Departed” the other day. And all I can say is — HOT DAMN! That was a good movie.
I’ve been a Scorsese fan for a long, long time, but his recent films haven’t really been my favorites. But The Departed is definitely a return to form for the guy. Sure, it’s not based in Scorsesse’s beloved New York, but I think the venue change to Boston for the setting of the movie was actually a good move, because it gave the film a “different but familiar” feel to it.
And Jack Nicholson (who’ll I’ll be blogging more about later) truly stole the show. He was amazing in this movie.
But the thing that really caught my attention was a scene where Matt Damon picks up a woman in an elevator. Some of his tactics were traight from the Art Of Approaching. Makes me wonder if a number of my students are screenwriters, lol.
You’ll also see Matt Damon use David DeAngelo’s concept of “Cocky & Funny” to perfection, not only in the elevator scene, but also the scene where he’s on a date with the girl. There’s some very good value demonstration in the date scene too.
As if being the new Scorsese movie wasn’t enough, you should check out The Departed just to study Matt Damon’s demonstration of Pick Up Skills. Very impressive examples indeed!
