It is a story about one personality type manipulating another personality type. Mike realizes how he's been manipulated during the court scene when Longo does the "wink" with his "double negative" remark. Recall that when Mike was teaching Longo how to write, he mentions the wink and the double negative. Hill's reaction in court is the denouement. The rest of the story reveals that Mike will never be out from under Longo's manipulation.

Funny, I thought the end of the movie gave the exact opposite meaning.

i'll have to watch it again to be sure, but i think he was using another line of finkel's when he said it was like the teddy bear died with his daughter...??

i think he stole a few of finkel's lines for his testimony.

They used one another. At least Mike was up front about it.

He's still using him. It's not about Chris being in control.
