Can Some Explain Who Kaiser Sose Is (Usual Suspects)?
Kaiser was a myth, a character of fiction, kind of like the boogeyman. Verbal Kint used that myth to spin his yarn to the police, as well as to dissuade people who really knew him as Kaiser to not double cross him. The myth was a lie told to the police by Kint (the killing of the family)…so Kint lied to three sets of people: the thugs he actually did business with, the police, and the 4 thugs he was in the police lineup with. What a brilliant movie. The guys in the lineup and the guys on the boat all really died, Kint/Kieser blew up/assassinated all of them.
