MEN IN BLACK (1997) TWIN BROTHERS FIRST TIME WATCHING MOVIE REACTION!

[@RhetoricalThrill]

This movie has one of my very favorite quotes: A thousand years ago, everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.

[@WalterGriggsJr]

Beautiful n shocking ⚡️

[@phoenixforce2409]

J was actually correct about the alien thing during the training test. That's why Zed looks at K. He was the only one to think outside the box, hence him saying "This was everything we expected from you all" aka an insult to the others trained to fire first and ask questions later. Plus, in the animated series, they reveal a dangerous alien in fact does look like Tiffany, meaning J was correct to analyze and say "She's the one that's a problem".

[@axelthefirefist2797]

And even if you think about , when k siits down with james after he said that most of the aliens are good, they just want to make a living, so it makes sense, maybe those aliens they shot were just chill guys

[@AgntFL]

Fun tidbit: the written test didn’t matter, Jay passed because he was the only one clever enough to use the table

[@KillaKindness]

The test was about thinking outside of the box. Unorthodox and Unconventional.

[@zbennalley]

My favorite moment is when they stop right after he shoots, and when they ask why his response was "hesitated." Implying he probably would've shot her first lol

[@toxicghost58]

3 Fun Facts for you: 1. The Worms (the aliens in the coffee room), were actually speaking the language of Jabba the Hutt from "Star Wars". 2. If you notice, the Edgar suit decomposes all throughout the movie, up to the point he straight up looks like a zombie in the climax. 3. The one roach that Will Smith stepped on to anger the Bug was actually just a mustard packet.

[@pompe221]

1) Head canon: the Worms are of the same genus (but not the same species) as the Hutts 2) Makes sense, human skin is gonna decompose if you walk around with it without any kind of preservative

[@kathyastrom1315]

Tommy Lee Jones has equally great line deliveries. His “Try it,” in reference to having loved and lost, was actually heartbreaking, making that happy ending perfect.

[@antrimlariot2386]

TLJ was perfect in the role and should have been showered with awards. Rip Torn too.

[@JasonKreider-eq8kp]

I was watching the making of mib and they where saying how they wanted will to be the obvious funny one and tlj to be the dry humor one. Tlj even said he thought he wasn't funny at all until he saw the whole movie

[@leogothisoscar271]

This movie is a testament to how good of an actor Vincent D'Onofrio is. How many actors could play an alien in a man suit and make it one of their best performances?

[@jongon0848]

No joke, I consider this one of the best written films of all time. The test and the shooting range scene are perfect examples of clever writing without spoon feeding the audience.

[@Lady-Seashell-Bikini]

There is a video essay by Lindsay Ellis about how good this movie is. It's pretty much the best example of "show, don't tell" in filmmaking.

[@S0urmf420]

Funny mention of Elvis being an alien when in Lilo and stitch there was an Elvis record playing and Jumba, an alien, said “oh i love this song!”

[@williambryan3346]

That part of Lilo & Stitch was an intentional nod to this movie.

[@ephraimwinslow]

Edgar/The Bug is Vincent D'Onofrio's best role ever. And arguably one of the best physical comedy *and* body horror performances of all time IMHO. He starts out like a frickin' Beetlejuice character while his skin's still all fresh and elastic... but by the time the movie ends and he does his magic trick? He's straight out of The Fly. And he somehow manages to make the transition between the two totally seamless as the stakes get higher.

[@thepimp31]

holy shit thats the full metal jacket or punished dude right. I've seen this movie countless times and never knew that.

[@ephraimwinslow]

@@thepimp31 Yup.

[@DustinReinhardt]

Idk I really love him as kingpin in the daredevil show

[@captainsplifford]

Vincent is brilliant in pretty much everything he's in. He was my generation's Thor, from Adventures in Babysitting. And he was in one of the most devastating episodes of Homicide: Life on the Streets.

[@Sidraughen]

One of my favorite actors for sure. He's amazing whatever role he plays.

[@bwilliams463]

"K, did you ever flashy-thing me?" "No." "I ain't playin' witchoo, K! Did you ever flashy-thing me?" "No." Vincent D'Onofrio doesn't get enough credit for his fantastic physical acting. His portrayal of Edgar the Bug is a tour de force. My favorite bit is him outside the jewelry store in the van trying to 'act casual.' And did you recognize Tony Shalhoub ('Monk') as pawn shop owner Jack Jeebs?

[@Cadinho93]

"A person is smart... People are dumb panicky animals." One of my all time favorite quotes. Also, this movie never gets old. Easily rewatchable and it's Will Smith in his prime.

[@SuperDud3ed]

One of my favorite as well.

[@melenatorr]

With the follow up, "Imagine what you'll know tomorrow."

[@user-blob]

Vincent D’onofrio is brilliant in this, utterly convincing as a giant bug in a human skin 😂

[@christhornycroft3686]

This was huge when it came out in 1997. 1997 was a great year for movies. So many bangers. This was on the heels of Independence Day and this was the movie that really cemented Will Smith as a Hollywood star and box office draw. As Good As It Gets is a 1997 Oscar nominated film that has been almost forgotten, even though the winners for Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor are all in it. Gran Torino gets a lot of praise, but As Good As It Gets is where that kind of character was at its best.

[@rosefriday4287]

The '90s were a great era for writing. PERIOD. I am so glad I was a '90s kid

[@thekingofmovies193]

You were right that 1997 wad a great year for movies. Good Will Hunting, Titanic, Men in Black, Face/Off, As Good as It Gets, Jackie Brown, Donnie Brasco, Chasing Amy, The Fifth Element and many more. Although the Best Supporting Actor Oscar of that year actually went to Good Will Hunting, but As Good as It Gets is a really good movie, too.

[@Knight-Bishop]

It's the 1984 of the 90's, really.

[@thekingofmovies193]

@Knight-Bishop that's actually 1993 for me. But you're right. 1997 is one of the best 90s years for movies.

[@thekingofmovies193]

@@rosefriday4287 I know. Lucky you. I'm an early 2000s kid. And while there were still a large handful of great movies made then, they don't compare to the movies of the 90s, 80s or 70s. But I don't think that you need to be a cinephile to know that.

It’s Vincent D’Onofrio who played the alien. He was Pile in Full Metal Jacket, Kingpin in Daredevil, and Detective Goren in Law & Order Criminal Intent.

[@EChacon]

Hands down one of the funniest Science Fiction action comedies and Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones make a fantastic duo in Agents J and K respectively, and Vincent D’Onofrio does a funny but terrifying performance as Edgar the Bug/The Farmer. Finally, Frank the Pug is voiced and puppeteer by Tim Blaney who also voice for Number 5/"Johnny Five" in _Short Circuit 1-2_ (which the both of you should check out) and an additional puppeteer for certain productions of _The Muppets_ and the voice of Goofy Goober in the _SpongeBob SquarePants Movie_

[@terrylandess6072]

Will WAS the Fresh Prince and it never completely goes away. Because of this it's important for his scripts to allow for that, even if a tiny bit cause sometimes he just can't help it.

[@stdamonsbeard]

Vincent D’Onfrio came up with the idea to have those wierd jerky movements. At first the director was skeptical but it worked.

[@Ninjaheiro]

I like the theory that Tiffany was the intended target, J does make good points. Also I remember hearing that aliens are allowed to be out of disguise at night ,so having Tiffany wondering the streets at night with a bunch of aliens while holding those books kinda makes sense

[@dnish6673]

It’s the obviously correct answer and the movie makes this clear.

[@Renegade2786]

I liked this scene because its a subtle reference to racial profiling. Just because they are alien or look like monsters, don't mean they are *menace 2 society* .

I love the scenes where they're testing potential MIB agents. They're both funny but also identify the unique traits needed for the job. The scene where they're filling out the paperwork is intentionally meant to be the most uncomfortable and inconvenient situation, and J is the only one to go for the little table at the center of the room because he isn't afraid to take initiative and think outside the box. In the shooting gallery, J shoots the little girl because he sees beyond shallow appearances and facades and he notices details others would ignore. Appearances can be deceiving in a world where aliens live among us.
