Drinker's Chasers - Twisters Rejects "THE MESSAGE"

In a shockingly rare event, the director of the movie Twisters decided not to use his film as a platform to lecture his own audience, and instead concentrate on making an entertaining film. What a crazy idea.

[@snakepond2716]

The fact that KZbin put a climate change warning on this video is fucking hysterical.

[@ErikDayne]

The fact that people still can’t just accept it’s real is pathetic. We shouldn’t need a warning about climate change any more than needing to be explained that the sun exists.

[@AJ-gn4ki]

@@ErikDayne The sun can be a huge factor in weather change too. Also climate change might be needed as a catalyst for human advancement. Usually wars do that, but any major threatening event can cause a boost for human ingenuity to thrive. So that is why I drive ICE and fart a lot.

The director, a Korean-American, made a movie several years ago called "Minari" about a Korean family that settled in the rural Arkansas. I started watching it reluctantly, thinking that the movie would be a platform for highlighting southern racism, but there was no trace of that at all. The locals were shown as friendly and welcoming. And in fact, it was a very good movie and completely non-political.

[@greggibson33]

So true... we wouldn't want racism highlighted. What a nightmare.

[@rayenwoomed5323]

What was significant here is that they actually pulled what we call in the States a "bait and switch." You start out thinking that the Glen Powell character is going to be a toxic masculine caricature. Instead, he's just plain old masculine, and a good guy to boot. This is promising.

[@MegaRayland]

It was a ‘bait and switch’ in the opposite direction. Usually those are about pretending before the release that the male lead is the hero, or that the movie is just about entertainment, only to then see the rest of the movie shows the male lead as a coward and/or evil dude, and the movie is a “message-fest”. In this case they made the entire coastal press believe the movie was a “climate change” documentary with a girl boss at the helm, and probably mocking the midwest they despise, only to be the opposite. That’s why so many reviewers from NY and LA were so confused about this movie.

[@MikeForce111]

What I found refreshing about this movie is that *SPOILER ALERT* even though the beginning starts like an inverse of the first Twister (ragtag team of misfits vs. corporate stormchasers, in this movie the protagonist is the corporate/institutional one rivaling with misfits), she walks away from that team due to the shady business dealings, but nobody actually becomes enemies and they all work together in the end (minus the corporate guy that was expelled from the team). The sheer amount of tornadoes in such a short timespan definitely pushes beyond suspension of disbelief, typical of a movie like this imo

You guys really needed an American on the panel to explain the Twister nostalgia. Tornados and storm chasing are an American phenomenon that most other people just don't get. I grew up in Dixie Alley in the 90s and EVERYONE I knew were fans of Twister. It was the lazy Sunday afternoon movie you'd catch on TNT alongside The Mummy and Independence Day. People loved it because it was a blockbuster in middle America, about an issue middle America deals with, and there was no preening coastal elite attitude to it.

[@Steven-mk4gg]

Big Facts

[@KevinRomeofilm]

Yes. Glad someone said it. Also, Twister had been reliably playing on cable tv for decades on repeat

[@benkanohi2819]

The director also rejected the studio's request to film in Atlanta to save on tax cuts and specifically requested the film be shot in Oklahoma. The studio made him cut down his shooting schedule as a result. Also, he was specifically chosen by the producers after the director from Top Gun Maverick dropped out, and I found it interesting that the only good episode of the Mandalorian, the Dr. Pershing episode in S3, was the one directed by him Also also, Helen Hunt came to the studio with her own screenplay which featured a mostly nonwhite cast and had her character killed off at the beginning, and the studio rejected it. So I'm kinda glad she wasn't involved, because the movie would've been filled with THE MESSAGE if she was

[@cmere9141]

She wanted to die to make room for others, how sentimental...

[@kri249]

She's a has-been actress. Her purpose was two fold. She wanted to make a movie that would appeal to Audiences for nostalgia value but bait them with the message. This was to pander to Hollywood so they would see her as one of them and start giving her movie roles. The second purpose was to give her a small part so she can draw in fans of the original movie, making them think she'll be there throughout the whole film and collect a paycheck, while also killing off her character so she doesn't get typecast as her character and be stuck playing that role throughout her diminishing career.

Glad the studio rejected it. What actually needs to happen is actresses like Helen Hunt need to leave Hollywood entirely

[@johnsanfrancisco]

A little surprised the panel’s consensus is that this film is free of woke bullshit. Though less bludgeoning and obvious than other examples, this is clearly a girl boss movie. The lead character is smarter, braver, more magical, saintly, generous, compassionate, socially aware and selfless than any other character. Sure, the men around her aren’t quite as poorly portrayed as is the case in other girls boss movies. Even so, nobody can really hold a candle to her when it comes to any major human virtue you can think of.

[@ryans413]

@@johnsanfrancisco disagree the main lead struggled going back into storm chasing after her friends died she purposely drove away from the tornado she wasn’t some girl boss. She struggled with coming back.

[@edugator2242]

The movie included minorities and women in significant parts of the movie and made them relatable, everyday people instead of trying to make their color the most significant thing about them. The male lead gets to be a hero, but the person who saves the day is the female lead. And does so in a way that does not make her into some unrelatable, all powerful being. If you want diversity, this is the way to do it because this is how it is done in real life. And if you watch 80’s movies, this is how it was done then as well.

The panel has clearly never been to the Midwest or been through a tornado. Tornadoes are associated with thunderstorms and can just kind of come out of nowhere, you don't always get much warning, save for a thunderstorm, which are pretty common here. Frankly they're kind of terrifying, as they vary in size from small enough to barely damage a house up to mile wide monsters with winds of 300mph, but if you grow up here you get used to them. edit: Hilarious that the movie didn't have "THE MESSAGE" but youtube is trying to shove a global warming warning on this video! 😆

Here is a space where the panel could have used anyone from the US or Canada to explain the nostalgia of Twister. This is one of those movies that regularly and predictably showed up as a TV movie after it came out. Just flipping through the channels and the local Fox affiliate would be playing it on a Sunday afternoon. I know tons of people who've seen this movie like 4-12 times just because of this. The heist movie Sneakers also showed up regularly. This was NOT a forgotten movie, at least not to those who would watch cable tv's movie of the week.

TLDR foreigners talking about about a North American weather phenomenon when they obviously have no idea what they are talking about. Twister has a large cultural impact in parts of the US. Tornadoes do occasionally appear with little warning, they can change direction, size and they even skip across the ground with miles in between strike zones.

[@gogira76]

I actually kinda enjoyed it, especially after they started out dunking on LA studio heads for being confused about why a movie about the Midwest set in the Midwest would do well. Then to just...do the exact same thing. I've lived my entire life in Tornado Alley. You either get it or you don't. The first movie was huge here, I imagine this one will, too. And yes, you DO stop your super important science project to help out your neighbors. Whether or not you can really outrun the tornado is another issue...

[@prdurnion83]

"Movie critics critique movie while bot mistakes movie critique as meteorological report. More at 11."

[@dbf1dware]

I thought the same thing. But I also thought, well OK, they have never been in the "crosshairs" of a tornado supercell. They probably don't even know what a supercell is (and I would not expect them to). As they were talking about the "ridiculous" aspects of the depiction of tornadoes, I was thinking the whole time, "yep, yep, that's what tornadoes do, yep." But again, that's OK. They didn't grow up in "tornado alley" -- I grew up in North Texas. When I was about 8 or 9, I personally saw a tornado touch down about 1 mile from me; it hit a golf course and completely shredded the place, debris spinning up into the sky. If was old enough to be terrified, I would have been. Looking back, I think I was lucky the tornado "chose" to go the other direction or I'd be dead.

[@randomDaved]

Had one recently do that to me and it's a weird experience. Watching a tornado coming across counties toward your house, only to jump up for a couple miles and drop back down and carry on after passing is an interesting experience.

[@geoffok]

Tornados(twisters) and hurricanes are not the same. Tornados can come out of nowhere and are invisible at night. Sometimes you *might* get 15 minutes warning.

As an Oklahoman, Twister and Twisters are amazing movies (in their own right) that depict a heavily under utilizedregion and people in America and it’s a massive breath of fresh air to see it all depicted.

It was great to see Maura Tierney. She looks great at 59. Always loved her. Especially ER and Newsradio 😍

[@awesomehpt8938]

Is there a bit where the twister goes “it’s twistin time!” And then he twists all over the place?

[@osmanyousif7849]

I’m sorry, but why does that sound like a line from a adult film parody?

[@jeffreyoldham55]

This panel could collaborate to write an *epic* disaster flick!

[@hawkeye5955]

The twister going through the various factories sounds like a skit from The Simpsons. 😂

Climate hysteria refers to a long-term grift in statistical manipulation and weather reporting. Human activity has been the singular driver of climate hysteria, primarily due to the large amounts of your money available to inveterate liars with no functional solutions to their imaginary problem.

OH MY GOD ITS HEADED TOWARDS THE SHARK FACTORY!

[@somethingclever8916]

One thing that I like about the original is the age of the leads. Twisters .. I'm sorry the main characters looks like they are just starting college To have a PhD you'd be pushing 30!

[@krzyryry8382]

I agree. I didn’t think much of it. I went because my niece wanted to go. And I actually enjoyed it. I was surprised. Good flick.

[@davidcarp1034]

I'm going to need a high quality edit of the movie that has the Tornado hitting a sequence of hazardous factories , spreading mayhem as it powers up.

[@Trunnion8]

Reaper doesn't understand how tornadoes work, I see

[@kylew7930]

Tornado season here in central USA is April May and early June. This should have been a Memorial Day weekend release. Would have theaters to itself for a while longer

[@OseronPhaer]

Leaving aside the somewhat...dubious knowledge base that our non-American panel has of tornadoes, those last two minutes were gold.

[@DreckbobBratpfanne]

Original Twister actually had some impact, many went into storm chasing and/or meteorology afterwards

[@coneshighwaterpants4430]

Thank goodness YT was here to educate me on climate change...

[@zukazealanee]

KZbin putting a note on this video just makes me assume everything in the note is bs.

[@seoulting28]

Lee Isaac Chung also directed Minari, nominated for 6 Oscars.

[@mattrowntree9369]

Why can't you guys write the scripts for these flicks? Just listening to all of you spitball ideas was comic gold!

[@JonCrs10]

Twisters' Message: stop building normal square buildings in Tornado Alley, make everything a big DragonBall dome house because that literally would save millions in lives and reconstruction thanks to geodesic domes being incredibly disaster resistant.

[@Scott.Sandifer]

I wonder if this KZbin note will appear on any trailers or clips from the movie?

[@macarahneil2154]

The message from this was put out a fun product, and receive the reward of a job well done from fans of good entertainment. I think of entertainment like a cafeteria. I occasionally get a sweet surprise, but it's frozen, reheated trays of the delightful meals they used to have on display. Most of the time, the woke lunch lady is serving up slop that makes me lose my appetite.

[@Sb129]

It's a real stretch calling this a sequel. It was pleasantly surprising in how good it was and devoid of the 'message' so that was good. But they really called it "Twisters" to attract people who liked the original.
