The sympathy you show for the people in the city and how emotional you got when the attack was going on is why we watch. Most people were just amazed at the special effects and how cool it looked. You see horror and the human cost in those scenes. Never change. To answer your question. Yes, Area 51 is a real place. It is also known as Groom Lake or Homey Airport. It is a highly classified military base. You won't get anywhere near it unless you work there. It is one of the places where the military tests new plane designs and weapons.

34:10 One interesting thing here. The crowd was not scripted to start cheering. Bill Pullman's delivery of the speech was so good that they just started applauding and cheering on their own and the filmmakers kept it in the movie. Truly one of the great movie speeches of all time.

This movie is sponsored by Norton Antivirus. Main take away: never plan an invasion without having a good antivirus installed. XD In Spain the marketing campaign for this movie was awesome. They gave the news of huge spaceships showing up in New York and other american cities on TV during the news bulletins as if they were real. There was a small disclaimer on one corner saying "advertisement", but many people believed it anyway and called the authorities, simillar to what happened with the War of the Worlds during the 1930´s.

[@the_docta]

[@lordmortarius538]

I believe in a deleted scene they explain why they are able to interface with the alien computers so easily, is because modern operating systems and such were reverse-engineered from the alien ship at A51. I feel like that explanation shouldn't have been cut, but whatever :P

Area 51 is a thing, and it's definitely something secretive, but whether it has anything to do with aliens is, um, open to question. Tamale is a Mexican food, a kind of spiced meat wrapped in a corn husk. "Big tamale" is old-fashioned slang for, "This is the really big thing that we've been looking for."

[@troythompson1768]

Area 51 is where the US tests the aircraft it doesn't want anyone to know it has. It is where they tested the U-2, SR-71, and F-117. The rumors of alien spacecraft, if not a CIA or USAF psyop in the first place, have probably at least been surreptitiously promoted by the government as a means to misdirect people and keep the things the government wants secret secret.

Extraterrestrial means aliens. And you pronounced it PERFECTLY. Your knowledge of the english language is incredible.

[@NZBigfoot]

To break it down more, Terrestrial basically means of Earth, Terra being the roman goddess of the Earth, like Gaia was the Greek version. Extra means without, outward, as in the opposite of within, inward. So Extra Terrestrial means beyond/outside the earth... ie Alien (even though the word alien doesn't actually mean alien as we use it, but just the strange or unfamiliar which is why a person from another country can be called an illegal alien).

Thus, just how ineffective they were had _no_ business surprising _anyone._

[@kensmith2829]

Extraterrestrial is combination of two words. In this case, the "extra" means "outside of" and "terrestrial" means "of or pertaining to earth or its inhabitants" . That word comes from Terra, which is the Latin word for Earth. So the word basically means "something from outside of earth" or alien in this case. SETI is a real organization too. They monitor the skies for artificial radio signals which might indicate life.

[@steved6092]

I worked at a movie theater in Brooklyn NY when this came out in 96, and while I had seen some big movie openings before - when this opened it was insane. Every show, for a good week or so was just sold out. Even the morning opening shows which usually are fairly empty were sold out. It was nuts. I remember going on break on the opening day and standing in the back of the main theater showing it (this was a 14-screen theater at the time, I think it's up to 20 now) and I just had my mouth open the entire 10 mins I stood there and said to myself, yeah, I'm gonna watch this when I'm off with some popcorn and enjoy myself. And I sure did :D

[@BillTheScribe]

22:30 This was filmed on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. "That smell" he was so bothered by was probably the 28 billion dead brine shrimp (sea monkeys) in the Great Salt Lake. Area 51 has a lot of myths and rumors about it. The truth is probably closer to it being a testing base for technology, like stealth fighters, or a base where they take captured aircraft from other nations to test them and see what they are capable of. So, in the 70's if the US got hold of a Russian MiG-25, it would probably end up there. IF (big if) there was a captured alien craft, it would be reasonable to take it there.

[@Ambaryerno]

Yep. Every story about Area 51 can be summed up with three words: Lockheed Skunk Works.

[@Caseytify]

That's where they test things like the SR-71 or the F-117, and various stealth technology demonstrators.

[@manticore4952]

It was already declassified after they made the movie. It was an aircraft testing facility and also used to test captured planes against US models.

That speech that President Whitmore gives at the airfield is one of the most inspiring I've ever heard. The massive fire waves preceding the ships entering the atmosphere is literally the sky on fire, as you said. Due to their propulsion technology, energy shields, and advanced hull materials, they don't HAVE to calculate perfect re-entry (or in this case, just 'entry') angles to reduce friction and heating, they can just go straight in without worrying about all that. I feel like you'd also like Battle: Los Angeles, and Battleship, similar alien invasion films.

Hey Dasha, you can have the best of both world by having an American-style barbeque on May Day. That way both Russsia and North America are covered.

Mexico and Canada need love They make up North America too

@@gamexsimmonds3581 I said N. America, instead of just the USA to include Canada. I'm not sure what Mexico does for its Independence day.

Priviet Dasha you look fantastic today. Great cast in this. I highly suggest your patrons vote on having you watch "The Jackal" with Bruce Willis, Jack Black, Sidney Poitier, and Richard Gere. The man with the raspy voice was the makeup artist in Mrs. Doubtfire. Will Smith's girlfriend in this is Vivica A. Fox from Kill Bill as one of the squad members. Will's buddy in the locker room is country singer Harry Connick, Jr. There are plenty of documentaries and shows about Area 51. I personally like a segment from Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack about the origins of it. Btw, the nerdy long silver haired scientist is Data from Star Trek. The general is Robert Loggia from the films Big with Tom Hanks as Mr. MacMillan and the stepfather in Over The Top with Sylvester Stallone. President's wife is Mary McDonnell from Dances With Wolves with Kevin Costner.

A tamale is a Mexican dish but "the big tamale" is an English expression meaning like, "the big thing you're all here to see," like if your dad gets all the neighborhood dads over to show them his new ride-on lawnmower, he could say "yep, here's the big tamale."

The President of the United States of America: "The question of whether or not we're alone in the Universe has been answered..." Dasha: "Yes, very politely." Words will never be eaten so quickly again

You should watch Mars Attacks next. It's a great movie with a lot of stars

[@technopirate304]

@30:30, fun fact ten years after this movie the actress who played the First Lady played the President…of the entire human race. The show was called Battlestar Galactica. Instead of fighting aliens, humans were fighting against a hyper religious force of robots. The robots thought that their version of you know who wanted them to exterminate us. It was a great show you should take a look at it.

[@DemonBoy3223]

She was also in _Scream 4_ as Sidney's aunt. She even held her own in the minor scenes she was in.

The iconic comedic speech in a movie -- John Belushi as Bluto Blutarsky and the "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" rant from National Lampoon's Animal House. Let's go.....come on!

Now watch the comedy with Jack Nicholson in "Mars Attacks!" Ack Ack AhckK!

I saw Independence Day in the movie theaters as a kid it was amazing! I remember everyone cheering at the end of of the movie

[@jaylinnell5251]

The ships in this movie positioned themselves directly over the Empire State Building in Manhattan, the White House in Washington, DC(District of Columbia, in case you're curious), and what is now the US Bank tower in Los Angeles. Judging from this, they likely positioned themselves over the major important buildings or known landmarks of each city. Parliament in London, and the Kremlin in Moscow, as likely examples. More general examples of cities first hit by these ships would be Paris(France), Berlin(Germany), Prague(Czechia/Czech Republic), Toronto(Canada), Tokyo(Japan), Sydney(Australia), and Beijing(China). Major population centers and the capitals of each country. Which is exactly what I would do if I were an extraterrestrial who came to invade and conquer the planet.

[@malcolmtrinder8652]

This film portrayed what can be done when the earth is threatened and comes together to destroy the threat. A great bit of escapism. Maybe one day all nations can come together without the need for a global catastrophe. Your reaction was comical and in places, very heartfelt when needed but was very much on point. FYI the speech he gave he used again in an advert for Budweiser regarding covid promoting vaccines against covid. You can catch it here on YT I won't post the link just in case.

[@paul1979uk2000]

True we can achieve more if we work together but realistically, we wouldn't stand a chance defeating that alien race with their level of tech and defeating them with a computer virus seems laughable for anyone that understands tech being as the alien computer system is likely so different than ours that we wouldn't even know where to start, also, do they not have advanced virus protection? lol. The movie is a feel good movie about humans and what we can achieve but that's about it and if the same was to happen in real life, we would be screwed unless we managed to get in contact with another alien race that's a enemy to that one.

[@lordmortarius538]

@@paul1979uk2000 I believe in a deleted scene they explain why they are able to interface with the alien computers so easily, is because modern operating systems and such were reverse-engineered from the alien ship at A51. I feel like that explanation shouldn't have been cut, but whatever :P

[@paul1979uk2000]

@Matrixnukum If I recall, I think we're still a 0 type civilization, with maybe becoming a type 1 by 2100.

[@paul1979uk2000]

@@lordmortarius538 That would make sense, they had decades to work on it and really, they should have left that scene in to explain that, but still, I find it far-fetched that the alien race couldn't work around that quickly that it wouldn't be a threat, tech advancement usually advances in all areas but clearer that wasn't the case in movie as it's highly unlikely we would brake into their computers using decades old hardware that we didn't create against newer computers on the alien ships that they know how to use. You would think they would have an antivirus checker or something lol, but it's just a movie to make humans feel better than we actually are and not based on reality of how things would go which is something like this, humans get wiped out, the earth gets mined, the end, that's how the movie would really end in real life.
