Not everybody wants to be cary Grant shaking My head

Pu-Leeze!! There is only one Cary Grant!!

A+

El mismo Cary grant queria ser cary grant!no se puede explicar con palabras el magnetismo infinito que poseia…

So-called "Cary Grant" wasn't even his real name. He was born Archibald Alec Leach. Changing one's birthname, other than for marriage, shows disrespect of surname & family heritage. It's especially a shame, if it's done at the behest of deceitful & mercenary 'Hollywood' studios or entertainment moguls & managers. The ludicrous misrepresentation of self, for ANY reason, is simply unnecessary.

Love it!

This is a fantastic essay on Grant!

Definitely NOT Hugh Grant … Clooney?.. absolutely

Grant was unique in that he was both funny and handsome. Comic actors (Lewis, Lemmon) were physically ordinary, and good looking ones (Peck, Newman) were awfully serious.

Immediately recognized Hurwitz' score for La La Land

Great video. Ebert was a treasure

I'm a red blooded male but George Clooney is a stretch. Hugh Grants just laughable.

Grant, the most debonair on screen comedian that there ever was!!!!!!!

Where in todays lifetime is 1982's The Thing considered a classic ? I know i didn't get a vote on it Because some people on Rotten Tomatoes clicked classic on it 😂

I just don't get why people Today get so heated on their reviews Considering most people commenting weren't even alive when this show was running

"Was Ebert wrong?" No, because opinions can't be wrong.

If he was always right, no one would watch him, that’s what makes critics interesting, their differing opinions

No one will ever be on the level of Cary Grant. Charming, handsome, winsome and down-right funny.

My ode to Cary Grant, Cary Grant - Eternal Kisses tribute - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXOwmJeMoLqod6s - I was a fan girl in my teens catching as many showings weekend latenight or afternoon oldies shown on cable then I now have about all his movies on my computer media drives, only 2 I just cannot ever rewatch not because of him.

Most needed video ever

Please do not quote Pauline Kael in anything. That critic did not understand the medium she purported to be an expert in but got so much wrong, its embarrassing.

Roger always reminded me of my grad school Theater \Lit professor who always down graded work with slang, regional or cultural jargon, and petty spelling errors. He still has a fit when anyone uses the word "ain't". My teacher was fun to argue with and I'm sure Ebert would have been too.

Comparing Hugh Grant with Cary Grant ?!?!? Seriously ?!

A great video. Thank you.

Thanks for mentioning which movie a certain clip is from using the subtitles!

The only thing that makes me sad about this video right now is that you dont have anymore for me to watch. Great work

Clooney doesn't do Mid-Atlantic accent and honestly without affectations like that I can't see a parallel to Clooney. Also, Clooney plays exactly one one character.

Everybody wants to be Jimmy Stewart 🤞

You seem o miss ou pronouncing he le er 't'. Where did it go?

I think Jon Hamm is the perfect example this. He is essentially a goofy comedy actor who happens to have become famous because of the drama Mad Men. Watch him in 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Oh that famous quote. "Everybody wants to be Cary Grant. But I need to be to be Cary Grant".📜 I live in Bristol England his bronze statue is life size and is frequently moved🙄 around .

This is what Supreman needs to be.

So you're saying his masculinity is the best because it's non-toxic? I can grant you that

On my god! He could've been an AMAZING Superman and a SPECTACULAR Clark Kent!

The story in The Thing is super weak

Ridiculous. Nobody gets close to him.

You have one of the weirdest accents ever,American ,Canadian and Scottish,as I was watching the video essay,I'd try to figure out where the hell you're from man lol...

hoity toity aren't you?

Archie Leach: "Even I want to be Cary Grant."

Yeah, but he usually was. More than most.

Commenting for exposure for you

Well-done! I have often thought of Clooney as being a modern-day Cary Grant. I was happy to see you make the case so well.

Grandissimo attore bravo ed elegante un icona indimenticabile semplicemente inimitabile favoloso❤❤

Superb.

Thanks! This was so much more astute than almost all other video essays I've seen on this platform. Really good connections drawn to contemporary actors too. Famously Lucas and Spielberg talk of Bogart and the Treasure of the Sierra Madre as influences for Raiders, but it's really true that Ford's performance is a good deal more Grant. Never thought of that. Did Grant really invent this character? I can't think of a precedent, Chaplin and Keaton's personas were not really romantic leads. But like them we sympathize with Grant because he isn't really taken seriously in his world. I suspect that's also part of what makes North by North West so compelling as a thriller, this guy seems so out of his depth, more so than James Stewart, who wanted the part, would have been. But he's also too funny to be really believed. You understand why the cops won't believe him when they return to the house in the first act. Clooney has been compared to Grant a lot of course, but could you imagine him in North by Northwest? I'm not sure he could play the pain.

Fantastic essay. The best hommage to the great Cary Grant.

I love Arsenic and Old Lace...it's a movie that only Cary Grant could make!

Okay, but in many cases he also evaluated films on a narrow set of criteria such as its pure aesthetics (i.e., looks and feeling, such as when he swooned over "The Phantom Menace") rather than plot and character development. Sometimes he'd overlook all the goofiness of a bad movie to home in on one or two things he dug about it to praise the movie overall (e.g., He gave "Knowing" starring Nick Cage 4 out of 4 stars!). He was dismissive of almost all horror films (e.g., he and Siskel both shot down the original "Alien"; they both ranked "I Spit on Your Grave" as among the worst films of all time). If he felt a film was misogynistic (because violence toward a female character must mean the writer/director hates ALL women; it can't just be a plot point or statement about the villain), then he hated the movie as a whole (e.g., several films by David Lynch, even saying that Lynch was demeaning Diane Ladd in how he directing her performance in "Wild At Heart..." for which she was nominated for an Oscar a few months after he reviewed the film). Point is, a critic who gets it wrong should learn about their blind spots and be more open to seeing flaws in films they enjoyed and recognizing the cinematic value of films that they otherwise might have avoided. Rather than growing as a reviewer, Ebert got it wrong on a regular basis throughout his career, and no, that's not okay.

Roger Ebert was the critic I always looked forward to the most for reviews and even I agree he wasn’t always right. But I didn’t read his work to see if he agreed with me 100%. I read his reviews because they’re great pieces of writing. I still crack up hysterically at his review of the spirit (a review I 100% agree with), but even the ones I disagreed on were full of usually well reasoned opinions to where I at least understood his thinking Another critic I knew said it best by noting that Pauline Kael is the more academic critic, but Ebert was just as influential for making critics approachable. And all because he clearly just loved everything about movies, and that can make all the difference

Grant over acted. He never really graduated from Vaudeville. I wanted to be David Niven or Errol Flynn. Cloony is so much better than Grant.
