All right, let's get started with today's show. 27 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast, 28 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like 29 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: never before in a movie podcast. A man with so 30 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: much movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking AUMTV with glasses. 31 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: From the Nashville Podcast Network Movie Movie Podcast. Today, we 32 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: are talking about actors who were hurt and in one 33 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: instance killed while filming a movie. I was thinking about 34 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: this because Daniel Craig, who plays James Bond in the 35 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: New Movies like this year, he hurt himself a lot 36 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: on set. He broke his ankle and then within a 37 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: few weeks he was back and everybody's like, oh yeah, 38 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: Daniel Craig is the man comes back after an ankle injury. 39 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: Some of these are absurd. I had to fact check 40 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: them and find the actors talking about it just to 41 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: make sure that they really happened. This first one blew 42 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: my mind. The movie Passion of the Christ from two 43 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: thousand four, which is directed by Mel Gibson. The guy 44 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: who plays Jesus in the movie is Jim Caviezel, and 45 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: while filming the movie, he was struck by lightning. So 46 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: that's all happened. When they were filming the Sermon on 47 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: the Mount and Jim Caviezel noticed that there was lightning 48 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: coming towards him, and he said he knew that he 49 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: was about to get struck by lightning. I was lit 50 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: up like a Christmas tree. I knew it was going 51 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: to hit me. About four seconds before it happened, I said, 52 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to get hit And when it happened it 53 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: was I saw the extras grabbed the ground in front 54 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: of me. What they saw was fire coming out the 55 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: right and left side of my head and illumination around 56 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: the whole body. All I felt was like a giant, 57 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: tremendous slap on my ears and about eight seconds of 58 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: us like a pink red static in front of my eyes. 59 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 1: And somehow he didn't suffer any major injuries after being 60 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: struck by lightning. He did get an infection, an ammonia, hypothermia, 61 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: and a lung infection throughout the course of filming this movie, 62 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: but the lightning really had no big effect on him. 63 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: And I don't know about you, but if I get 64 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: struck by lightning while playing Jesus in a movie, I 65 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: think I'm done with the movie after that. I would 66 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: clearly take that as a sign. This next one is 67 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: one of my favorites, mainly because they left it in 68 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: the movie and it's one of my favorite pivotal scenes 69 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: in Django Unchained where Leonardo DiCaprio cut his hand while 70 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: filming the movie. So there's a scene where he has 71 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: his glass and he slams it on the table. It's 72 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: in order to make it believable he's the real glass 73 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: and really slammed it into the table, but when he 74 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: did it, the glass shattered and cut his hand and 75 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: he started bleeding. So he's sitting there with his hand bleeding, 76 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: and he stays in character and finishes the scene. And 77 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: that is what you see in the movie. Sat on 78 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: that tabletop. If you lift those palms off that tunnel 79 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: shelf tabletop, Mr both fails that sat off. They had 80 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: been a lot of last set around the spen a 81 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: table to night, but that's you kind of believe. But 82 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: there is a little bit of myth around it because 83 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: although he did really cut his hand and they kept 84 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: that part of the movie, they cut after it after 85 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: they got the shot, and then they decided, Okay, we're 86 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: gonna do it. We're gonna use you bleeding. They ended 87 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: up using fake blood for the part where he goes 88 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: and smears blood on carry watching his face like, he 89 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: gets his hand, rubs it on her face and there's 90 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: blood all over. That's not actually on our capitol's blood 91 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: of some people believe at that point it was fake blood, 92 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: but real cut didn't break character and kept the scene. 93 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: He ended up having to get stitches later for the cut, 94 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: but man, what a great scene. Another cool one which 95 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: they actually left in the movie was from The Lord 96 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,799 Speaker 1: of the Rings the Two Towers in two thousand two, 97 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: where Vigo Mortenson actually goes to kick a helmet and 98 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: they were trying to get the perfect shot on this, 99 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: so they're like, all right, you just gotta fully commit 100 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: and kicked the helmet. Well, it ended up that he 101 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: was so much forced to kick the thing he broke 102 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: two of his toes and the scream that you hear 103 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: in the movie is him actually screaming in pain after 104 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: he broke them. So yeah, that is a sheer cry 105 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: of pain that actually made into the movie that hurts 106 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: to here. Now, this next one is one that could 107 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: have been responsible for us losing one of our most 108 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: beloved actors in America of all time. I'm talking about 109 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: Tom Hanks and cast Away from two thousand. So this 110 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: is the one where he stranded on an island and 111 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: he does all these things to try to survive. He 112 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: gets to like take out a tooth at one point, 113 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: a lot of crazy stuff. Um, he has a best 114 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: friend who's a volleyball you know the movie. So this 115 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: one actually happened after filming was done for the movie. 116 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: So before leaving that island, Tom Hanks cut his leg 117 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: and it was like a really small cut, so you 118 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: know what, he didn't think much about it at the time, 119 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: but by the time he returned home it was so 120 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: swollen and painful. He went to the doctor and found 121 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: out he had a staff infection, and they told him 122 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: if he had waited any longer to seek medical attention, 123 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: that he would have died from fatal blood poisoning, all 124 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: from a small little cut he got on the island. 125 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: He said that we again, who went home, it just 126 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: swelled up so big that he decided, Okay, I gotta 127 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: go to the doctor to get this sting checked out. 128 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: He thought maybe it was just clean it up, give 129 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: him some antibiotics. No, we found out he had a 130 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: crazy staff infection from filming this movie. But crazy to 131 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 1: think we could have lost Tom Hanks all because a 132 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: little cut from Castaway And now we're gonna go way 133 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: back to to the classic The Wizard of Oz, And 134 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: you think, how could you possibly get hurt while filming 135 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: a movie like Wizard of Oz. Turns out a lot 136 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: of people got seriously injured making this movie. There's no place. 137 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: So the first one comes from the lady who played 138 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: the Wicked Witch of the West, which was Margaret Hamilton's. 139 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: Not only did she suffer at injury on set, but 140 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: her stunt double suffered to injury on set. So what 141 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: happened to Margaret Hamilton's is there a scene involving a 142 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: trap door in munchkin Land, but the flames were triggered 143 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: too soon, which caused her face and hands to be 144 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: burned put her in the hospital for a month. So 145 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: then they bring in her stunt double who also suffers 146 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: a double injury while on set. So there's a very 147 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: famous scene where the Wicked Witch of the West is 148 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: writing on a broomstick and he writes out surrender. Dorothy 149 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: and Black Smoke. Well, their stunt double ended up suffering 150 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: burns to her legs after working on that sequence. And 151 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but if I was working 152 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: on this movie and saw these people getting hurt, I 153 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: would stay away from fire, staying inside the Wizard of Oz. 154 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: There's a guy named Buddy Epson who played the tin 155 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: Man in the movie. The company who made the movie, MGM, 156 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: tested several types of like costumes and makeup to try 157 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: to make the tin Man appear silvery, and what they 158 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: ended up using was face paint coated with aluminum dust. 159 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: Sounds harmless back in the day, back in the thirties, 160 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: but nine days into filming, he started to experience shortness 161 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: of breath and cramping that sent him to the hospital, 162 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: and at one point his lungs failed. He ended up 163 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: being in the hospital for two weeks, during which the 164 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: film's producer hired a different actor to replace him. So 165 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: then they have this new guy playing the tin Man. 166 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: They reformulated the paint into a pace that was painted 167 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: on but four days into filming with that guy. Yeah, 168 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: he got an eye infection. He didn't suffer any permanent damage, 169 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: but he ended up losing the part, and then they 170 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,679 Speaker 1: brought old Buddy Epson back into play the tin Man. 171 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: The myth though, was that Buddy Epson and the lead 172 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: pain ended up being the cause of his death. Not true. 173 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: He ended up living until the age of when he 174 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: eventually died in ninety three. But Crazy didn't think that 175 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: they were just slapping stuff on people that was causing 176 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: him to get sick. Didn't really have special effects figured 177 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: out back in the day. All right, let's fast forward 178 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: a bit to five. I'm talking about Rocky four, where 179 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: a punch almost killed Sylvester Stallone. So at the height 180 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: of the action in the movie, Rocky finally manages to 181 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: defeat Drago in the fifteen round after spending almost forty 182 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 1: five minutes taking slow motion haymakers to the grill and 183 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: Stylvester Stallone head the ideas that he wanted to make 184 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: this final fight look realistic and bone crunching as possible, 185 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: as he says, so he told a guy playing Drago 186 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: that they should spark for a real to get the 187 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: shots for the movie. So the guy playing Drego had 188 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: actually gotten in trouble earlier while filming the movie by 189 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: hitting a guy too hard and ended up throwing him 190 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: into the air, so he's a little hesitate when Sylvester 191 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 1: Stallone comes to him and wants him to punch him 192 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: for real, But after some convincing, he agreed to not 193 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: hold back as soon as shooting began and rocketed his 194 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 1: first punch right until Sylvester Stallone's chest, putting him down 195 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: for the count instantly. Sylvester Stallone said that the next 196 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: thing he knew, he was in a plane to the 197 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: emergency room and ended up being an intensive care for 198 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: four days, and they basically said that he suffered the 199 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: same conditions as someone who had just gone through a 200 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: car wreck. He ended up staying there for eight days, 201 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 1: and what they found out is he got struck so 202 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: hard that his heart slammed into his breasts stone and 203 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: it began to swell. So what they said it was 204 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: basically like being in a car wreck. You're driving at 205 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 1: a speed and then you stop and crash, your chest 206 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: hits the steering wheel, and that same impact is what 207 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: he got from one of this dude's punches man. That 208 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: is commitment to a scene. And finally we get to 209 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: the tragic and mysterious death of Brandon Lee on the 210 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: set of The Crow. So actor and martial art artist, 211 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: Brandon Lee is the son of Bruce Lee and Linda Lee, 212 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: and he has a lot of his dad's acting and 213 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: martial arts skills, and at the time he was doing 214 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: this movie, it was going to be one of the 215 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: biggest movies of his career. Unfortunately, though, he died just 216 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,199 Speaker 1: days before completing the movie from a gunshot accident on 217 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: the film set. So the entire movie was filmed in 218 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 1: about fifty eight days, and they were on the fiftiest 219 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: day filming down in North Carolina. So the scene calls 220 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: for Brandon Lee's character to be shot in the chest 221 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: as he's walking into his apartment. He's carrying a grocery 222 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: bag and there's supposed to be a decoy explosive that 223 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: goes off into the bag, but by mistake, there was 224 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: a piece of dummy bullets stuck into the barrel of 225 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: the forty four magnum Smith and Wesson that fired, and 226 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: when the intended blank was shot, the fragment shot Brandon 227 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: Lee in the chest, but nobody even realized anything was 228 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: wrong until they said cut and realized that he wasn't responsive. 229 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: He was rushed to a medical center immediately, but unfortunately 230 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: he died after several hours of surgery on March thirty one, 231 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: at just twenty eight years old. And after the actor's deaths, 232 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: a lot of rumors came out about it, but overall 233 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: just a really tragic thing to happen while making a movie. 234 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: So they ended up finding out that the prop guy 235 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: had gone to the store to buy the fake bullets, 236 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: but he ended up also buying live rounds, which live 237 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: rounds are never supposed to be able to kept on 238 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: set for this very reason, So now you have bullets 239 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,079 Speaker 1: that are blanks and other bullets with actual gunpowder on them, 240 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: and without them really knowing, the real bullets ended up 241 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: getting put into the gun. A two month investigation followed, 242 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: and the shooting ended up being ruled as an accident, 243 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: so no criminal charges were ever filed, but still one 244 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: of the saddest things to ever happen in film history, 245 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: and now really more so than the movie itself. That's 246 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: what that movie is kind of known for. And I 247 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: think we'll end it there on actors who were hurt 248 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: and in this case killed while filming a movie. For 249 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: my top five list this week, I'm talking about my 250 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 1: top five movies that all take place in one day. 251 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: So here's the premise for this. Everything that goes down 252 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: in these movies all happens in one day, which I 253 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: think is a great concept for a movie. It allows 254 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: them to be more creative, and it's also probably a 255 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 1: lot harder to shoot because you have to go for 256 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: a morning to and you can't really cut between without 257 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: people noticing. But I think when it's done well, you 258 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: can get a really good slice of life at characters 259 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: within a movie when it all goes down in one day, 260 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: especially when it's just people hanging out, which are sometimes 261 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: my favorite movies. So the way I came up with 262 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: this top five is I just made a really big 263 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: list of all the movies I knew that took place 264 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: in one day, and then I went back and looked 265 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: at reviews and stories behind these movies and just the 266 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: ones that I find myself going back to holding the 267 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: test of time. I put them in this top five list. 268 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: And what I ended up on his list was actually 269 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: like lower budget movies that ended up being big hits. 270 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if the fact that they took place 271 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: in one day had anything to do with that, but 272 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: I'm cool as it had being on my list. So 273 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: let's get into it now. At number five, Halloween from 274 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: not only one of my favorite movies to watch abound 275 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: Halloween and given the name, but also just one of 276 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: my favorite movies of all time with Jamie Lee Curtis 277 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: Say and you know Michael Myers The Serial Killer. I 278 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: remember watching this movie as a kid, and like, I 279 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: wanted to make movies because of this movie, because it 280 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: seems simple to make. You have a guy a killer 281 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: going round killing babysitters. And the thing that makes this 282 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: movie so eerie is just the way it shot, the 283 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: way it looks, and the soundtracks. So you really take 284 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: those things apart and you realize, oh, this is just 285 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: a low budget indie movie. The whole screenplay only took 286 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: ten days to write and three thousand dollars to make, 287 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: which is really low budget. Even back in nineteen seventy eight, 288 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: I watched a documentary on it about how the whole 289 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: thing was filmed in less than a month. It was 290 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: filmed in twenty days, but then went on to make 291 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: seventy million dollars and they still show it every single Halloween. 292 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: What a successful movie and they're still cranking these out. 293 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,599 Speaker 1: And they followed this movie up with many many sequels, 294 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: which all actually take place in one day. But this 295 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: is the best one of them all. I thought the 296 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: Rob Zombie reboots were okay. I like Rob Zombie his 297 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: other stuff, but the Halloween ones just didn't really do 298 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 1: it for me. I do, however, really like the eighteen version, 299 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: especially because Danny McBride wrote on it, and just knowing 300 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: that it's in his hands in some capacity, I think 301 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: the franchise will be all right. At number four, you 302 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: have a movie that takes place all in one day 303 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: at a convenience store slash video store. I'm talking about 304 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: Clerks from by one of my favorite directors, Kevin Smith. 305 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: I really love everything he does in his view Askew Universe, 306 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: from Jay and Silent Bob to Mall Rats, but this 307 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: one is probably my favorite of his, and the fact 308 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 1: that it takes place in one day is just the 309 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: bonus that I could put it on his list again. 310 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: Another low budget movie. The movie was shot for twenty 311 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: seven thousand dollars inside a real working convenience store and 312 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: video store that they would have to go film at night. 313 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: And this is really the movie that launched Kevin Smith 314 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: as a director because it was really make or break. 315 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: He received like a bunch of donations from his family. 316 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: He even got like a grant for like three thousand 317 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: dollars to make the movie. But the really the way 318 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: he made this movie was he maxed out ten credit 319 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: cards to get this thing made. He basically read like 320 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: a filmmaker's magazine, learned how to budget movie, learn how 321 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: to make a movie, then hired like all his family 322 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: and friends, and even put himself in the movie. Like 323 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna be Silent Bob of Jay and Silent Bob. 324 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: It was really gonna be like one of his friends 325 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: playing Silent Bob. And he decided, you know what, I 326 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: want to play that character, told his friend, Hey, man, 327 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna do it. And the thing is, Kevin 328 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: Smith actually talked a lot, so having a character who's 329 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: completely silent is probably the hardest thing for him to do. 330 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: The movie itself is really just people hanging out. Dante 331 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: and Randall are probably my favorite characters of his, and 332 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: of course you get to see Jay and Silent Bob 333 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: really for the first time. And Jason mus was really 334 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: just Kevin Smith's friend who thought he was really crazy. 335 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: He's like, hey, one day, I'm gonna put you in 336 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: a movie and decided this is a movie I'm gonna 337 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: put you in. And Jason Mused really wasn't an actor. 338 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: He was just a really crazy guy who he thought 339 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: should be a movie character. So him being Jay is 340 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: really just his real life persona, which was hard for 341 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: him to do because he wasn't an actor. So Kevin 342 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: Smith would put him behind a camera and all of 343 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: a sudden he'd be nervous and he'd be like, just 344 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: just do the thing I know you for, just do it. 345 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: But that was like another reason why he wrote himself 346 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: into Silent Bob, so he could kind of guide Jason 347 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: Muse into that character. So this movie is also just 348 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: really cool and inspiring for like young filmmakers to look at. 349 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: This is kind of a baseline of even if you 350 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: don't have a lot of money, as long as you 351 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: have a story in some comedy, you can make a 352 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: great movie. I just didn't cost a lot. The soundtrack 353 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: for this movie actually cost more than production costs. I 354 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: also love that about Kevin Smith. He always puts really 355 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: great music in his movies, even at the expense of 356 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: maxing out probably another credit card. At number three, I 357 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: have to go with a movie from starring Bruce Willis. 358 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: I'm talking about die Hards Get Together. I was a 359 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: little late to the game on die Hard, but I 360 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: realized that it's set the blueprint for every big action 361 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: movie now because they kind of take the die Hard 362 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: plot and just placed it into different scenarios and it 363 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: usually works. Sometimes it works so much that it kind 364 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: of gets boring now, but there are a lot of 365 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: movies now that stick to this formula. One of the 366 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: most interesting things about this though, is that Bruce Willis 367 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: at the time was not an action story. He was 368 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: in a TV show called Moonlighting and was not seen 369 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: as really like a strong or heroic dude. So the 370 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: first time this movie was really shown as him as 371 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: a lead actor in an action movie, people thought it 372 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: was funny, and even at the time, he ended up 373 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: being the highest paid actor that year, and they really 374 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: took a chance on him, not knowing if it would work, 375 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: but they made the whole thing for twenty eight million, 376 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: and then went on to break every single box office 377 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: record made. A right call on Old Bruce Willis In 378 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: at Number two is a cult classic from directed by 379 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: Robert Rodriguez and written by Quentin Tarantino, starring George Clooney 380 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: and also Quentin Tarantino. I'm talking about from dust till Dawn. 381 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 1: So many reasons why this is not only one of 382 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 1: my favorite movies that takes place in one day, but 383 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: just one of my favorite all time movies. Just from 384 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: the opening scene. I love a movie with a great 385 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: opening scene, and this whole movie starts out in a 386 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: convenience store shootout, which is amazing. There's so much tension 387 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: and it's so well done. One of my favorite openings 388 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: ever in a movie. I wanted him out of here 389 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: in his car and down the road. Or you can 390 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,719 Speaker 1: change the name of this place, the Benny's World of Blood. 391 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: Everybody be cool, You be cool. Some really interesting things 392 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: behind this movie too, is that it was Quentin Tarantino's 393 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: first ever paid gig. He was paid fIF to write 394 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: the script and then ended up making it into a movie. 395 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: And it was also George Clooney's first ever Hollywood movie role. 396 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: Quentin Tarantino went and pitched it to George Clooney because 397 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,719 Speaker 1: at the time he was just doing e Er he 398 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: was known as the hunky guy on the Er. And 399 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 1: then he goes on to star in this crazy action 400 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: horror movie. And not only does it take place in 401 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: one day, but there's also one actor in the movie 402 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: who plays three different characters. Manine is in the movie 403 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: and he plays the Mexican border guard. He also plays 404 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: the strip club doorman, and he plays a gangster in 405 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: the movie. It is a very R rated movie. Just 406 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 1: the warning. If you designed to go and watch it, 407 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: I would describe it as kind of like a Walking 408 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: Dead zombie type movie but with vampire. So if you're 409 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: into that, I would really suggest checking this out if 410 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: you're into nineties movies, But if you're squeamish at blood 411 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: and horror, I would say probably not for you. All right, 412 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: before I get into my number one pick, I when 413 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: I throw about some honorable mentions. One that almost made 414 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: the list was super bad, but when you think about 415 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: it at the very end, it goes into the next 416 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: day because when they go to the mall, that's the 417 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: day after the party. Another one that almost made the 418 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: list was the breakfast Club Training Day was so close 419 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: to making it but just not quite. And the Goonies. 420 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: So those are some honorable mentions. But coming in at 421 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: number one is a movie I quote so much that 422 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: I thought i'd kick it off with a quote from 423 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: it that tells the story of the movie. For most people, 424 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: Friday is just the day before the weekend. But after 425 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: this Friday, the neighborhood will never be the same. I'm 426 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,719 Speaker 1: talking about Friday. The movie stars ice Cube and Chris Tucker, 427 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: also written by ice Cube, also goes back to that 428 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 1: theme of being low budget. It was all shot for 429 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: three point five million dollars and in twenty days, and 430 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: just a really great cast. You got Ice Cube is 431 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: Craig Chris Tucker as Smokey, even got a cameo from 432 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: Bernie mack in there. R I P. He's the guy 433 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: hooking up with Miss Parker across the street, Miss Parka, 434 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: Miss Parka. And then you got John Witherspoon, who I 435 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: think is the star of the movie, really has the 436 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: most memorable lines. R I P. John Witherspoon, who died 437 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: earlier this year. Every single time he's on screen, I'm 438 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 1: just laughing. Get fired on your day off One of 439 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: the most iconic scenes in a comedy movie ever is 440 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: the scene from the kitchen. Every time I come into 441 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 1: kitchen eating up all the food, all the chicken, all 442 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: the big feet, all the color green, all the whole malls, 443 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: I want to eat some of them. I love. I 444 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: think it's just an overall underrated movie that has had 445 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 1: such a big impact on pop culture. If you've ever 446 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: heard the phrase by Felicia that is from this movie, 447 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: I need to borrow your car. Right, most people want 448 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: the bar sugar. They even catch up you want to 449 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: borrow my car? Hell no cue. I think the reputation 450 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 1: of this movie maybe gets a little bit taken away 451 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: because they've had so many sequels that haven't been as 452 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: great as the original. So I could do without those. 453 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 1: I could even do without them trying to reboot it, 454 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: trying to get Chris Tucker back. Is Smoky One day 455 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: was all we needed from Friday. All right, let's get 456 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: into it. This week's movie review is Marriage Story, which 457 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: you can watch for free right now on Netflix. Well, 458 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: I guess it's not technically free. You have to pay 459 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: for a subscription unless you're like me and still use 460 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: your sister's account. It's written and directed by Noah bound Back, 461 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: stars Adam Driver and Scarlett Johanson and is rated ARE 462 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: but not a hard are and there's no like violence 463 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: or nudity or anything, just some horse language. So what 464 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: the movie is basically about is a couple going through 465 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: a coast to coast divorce because they're living together with 466 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 1: their son in New York City. They go to counseling 467 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: and try to work it out, but they decide, all right, 468 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna separate for a bit. She leaves, takes their 469 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: son to Los Angeles, and while she's there, decide she's 470 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 1: gonna follow through with the divorce. And that's kind of 471 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: where this movie kicks off. Even at the start of 472 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 1: the movie, you think, oh, it's gonna be like a 473 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 1: really nice movie about love. Yeah, about ten minutes and 474 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, this is gonna go there. Very dramatic, 475 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: but a little bit of comedy throughout it. So here's 476 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: the clip of marriage story. Are you kidding me? I 477 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: wanted to be married? I don't he lost you would 478 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,719 Speaker 1: love me? Which I loved? You have to do with 479 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: l a what you're so merged with your own selfishness. 480 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: You don't need to identify it and selfishness anymore, you're 481 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: such that clip is just like a pinnacle of what 482 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: the acting is like in this movie. So kind of 483 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: setting the stage here again, I won't be spoiling anything, 484 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: but it's about Adam Driver's character who's Charlie, and Scarlett 485 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: Johansson's character, which is Nicole. Now they moved to New 486 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: York City and he's working as a theater director and 487 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: she was like a former teen actress and now who 488 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: is working starring in his plays. And it really tells 489 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: her story of just kind of feeling like she's lost 490 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: her identity in this marriage, like she's done everything to 491 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: kind of fit him, to be in his place, to 492 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: do kind of what he wants to do, and pushing 493 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: her acting dreams kind of aside. So really where it 494 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: kind of comes from her leaving is like she's like, 495 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: I'm going to move to l a, be my own person, 496 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: do my own thing, get back into acting, and start 497 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: starring in things on my own. And so she goes 498 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 1: back and while she's there, she's like, I can do this. 499 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: I feel like a lot more like myself now and 500 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: decides to divorce him, and he doesn't know he thinks 501 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: she's just going out there to kind of find herself, 502 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: takes some time off, and eventually she'll move back to 503 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: New York City with their son and the work things out. 504 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: She serves him with divorce papers, and then he's kind 505 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: of stuck between having to go back and forth between 506 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: New York and l A. Because he's getting divorced in 507 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: l A. She lives there, she's from there, their kid 508 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: was born there, so he has to kind of go 509 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: and establish a residency there and fight this divorce. And 510 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: I think the movie does a really good job at 511 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: portraying both sides of a messy divorce. It almost feels 512 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 1: like it's a crime that has happened. The way they 513 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: talk about divorce, it feels like he has done something wrong, 514 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: which I mean, he kind of did some bad things 515 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: that will ruin it, but again, he hasn't done anything 516 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: criminally wrong. But the way the lawyers are in this movie, 517 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,199 Speaker 1: the way divorce is kind of portrayed, it shows it 518 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 1: as like a criminal act, almost like you're thinking one 519 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 1: person has to defend themselves from the other person over 520 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: custody of their kid. Even the part about like fighting 521 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: for time with your kids, which you don't really think 522 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: about into you're in the divorce. You're like, oh, I 523 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: want to have them this amount of time or that 524 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 1: amount of time. It's really not a big deal into 525 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: your fighting literally to keep your kid in your life. 526 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: And there was one line specifically that really stuck out 527 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 1: to me. They said, criminal lawyers see bad people at 528 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: their best. Divorce lawyers see good people at their worst. 529 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: And that line just kind of hit me in the gut. 530 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: That's real, man. I also really love the supporting characters 531 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 1: in this. Ray Leota and Laura Dern as the lawyers 532 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 1: are really vicious and just portray lawyers as people you 533 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: don't really want to be associated with. And all of 534 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: the legal stuff is just crazy, and I feel it's 535 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: pretty accurate. Like I said, it feels like they're going 536 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: through a criminal court case when it's just fighting for 537 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: custody of a child. There's nothing super flashy about this movie. 538 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: It's just straight on, full a list acting from Adam 539 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: Driver and Scarlett Johansson. It's emotional in every sense, and 540 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: if you've gone through divorce with kids, probably hits really 541 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 1: close to home, or if your parents are divorced, you 542 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 1: might see this and be like man, I'm the kid 543 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: in this It has six Golden Globe nominations, including Best 544 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 1: Motion Picture for a Drama. I think it'll for sure 545 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 1: be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. So if 546 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 1: you're interested in watching all of those Best Picture movies, 547 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: I would suggest hopping on this one. I give it 548 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: four out of five court hearings. You're probably not gonna 549 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 1: find better acting in any other movie right now. I mean, 550 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: Scarlett Johansson Adam Driver have really big ranges. I mean 551 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: she's black Widow in the Avengers movies and he's Kylo 552 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 1: Ren and Star Wars, and then you put him in 553 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: this and you're like, oh, yeah, that that's why they 554 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: do the acting thing. This is why, all right. And 555 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: that's my review of Marriage Story, all right, And that's 556 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: the show for this week.
