FIRST TIME WATCHING: Snatch (2000) REACTION (Movie Commentary)

I agree it's one of my favs for sure the devils rejects and a few other Rob Zombie films most Tarantino movies and a few Guy Richie films being Born In the mid 80s being brought up on 90s films explains a lot I guess

[@justinmeade2327]

Never

[@sammalla5238]

Lock, Stock & two Smoking Barrels, Rock n Rolla and The Gentlemen are another great flicks by the same director, Guy Ritchie

[@famouzamiz]

Dont forget the Holmes movies

[@robertnguyen9493]

Jason Stathen’s audition for Lock Stock was Guy Ritchie tossing him a watch and telling him to “sell me that watch.” Ritchie didn’t know that Stathen use to make a living as a street hustler, so he walked out of that audition room with a job and some of Guy Ritchie’s money

Brad Pitt's accent is actually very good as he is playing a Traveller (gypsy) which is slightly diff from mainland Ireland. Think Tyson Fury. I have come into many British travellers in London in my lifetime and Brad's accent is surprisingly accurate

[@robertnguyen9493]

My ex girlfriend spent 10 years on the road working Renaissance Festivals, we watched this movie and she assured me that the funeral scene when they’re all getting pissed drunk is in her words “accurate.”

[@loisthehedgehog7658]

Heard from a lot of other people that his accent was pretty bad and that his mum’s was way better cause she’s actually Irish or something

[@grizzlygamer8891]

Why think Tyson Fury? Guy sounds like he's from Bolton.

[@lord_haven1114]

@@loisthehedgehog7658 guess it wasn’t bad! Actually pretty good. “Many, many gypsies talk a lot like that. It's not a regional dialect, it's just how some of us talk. Brad Pitt was taught by a relative of mine (Bobby Frankham) to fight mainly, but also to act like a traveller, and he even lived with him for a time while training so he could see how we live. So while his portrayal was exaggerated for sure, it actually is pretty accurate.”

Brad actually went and stayed with proper "travelers", "gypsies", "pikies" , whatever people know them by and he loved it , they took him in and he learned a lot :) . Much respect to those travelers, stay strong :)

I had to look this up after reading because I didn’t believe you. Wow, thanks for the info.

[@paulstevenson9477]

I seem to remember that Tyrone wasn’t an actor. He was hired to do security at the studio and when Guy Richie saw him he wrote the character of Tyrone

[@dapaintbrush6965]

He also knew him from a paint shop just down the road from were he lived.

[@jimtatro6550]

This movie has one of the best cast of characters ever, so many great lines.😂👍

It's a crime that Guy Ritchie hasn't been given a chance to direct a Suicide Squad movie. He's perfect for it.

[@mjl11]

tbh i dislike his big budget hollywood work. producers get way too many influence. his smaller movies like snatch, lock,stock and the gentleman are way superior to some of the hollywood crap he has made.

[@SRS13Rastus]

I've known people with accent's identical to those portrayed, it was this movie that really shone a spotlight on Brad Pitt's acting abilities for me. Yeah he'd done big roles but to attempt this role and the accent and get it spot on. To the point you forget "That's Brad Pitt" and just see Mikey.. That's Genius...

[@mattvsmetaverse]

Yes! Was literally about to say the same thing. I was really impressed with his role, and admittedly, did not expect to be. I thought he was more the pretty boy cookie-cutter role filler back then, and I did a whole 180 after Snatch. Killed the accent/Pikey role.

[@horstderheld22]

He made up the accent because he couldn't do the real one. He talks about that in a couple of interviews. But I think, that made it even better than just an Irish accent.

[@PatrickPlaysRetro]

"Grasses" slang for snitches like calling someone a grass is like calling them a snitch

Short for "snake in the grass"

[@likemike751]

The story of snatch was all the left over ideas from lock stock. And two smoking barrels. Guy Ritchie was just talking about It in an interview

[@ChannelReuploads9451]

The Story behind the accent, is that one of Richie's films, people complained that they could not understand the accents, so this film, he went out of his way to make sure people could not understand Pitt's accent. Especially Turkish's comment about "Did you understand a word he just said ?" Apparently real Irish Gypsies actually understood the accent :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4Tcc4CKpJJkqcU

Pretty sure most Irish people could make out what he was saying regardless lol

[@stevenguevara2184]

I watch those traveler call out videos. Mickey has no accent compared to those fellas

[@FirstnameLastname-nd9wx]

i could understand it fine 🤷‍♂

[@AlexAmez]

16:40 is still one of my alltime fav. shots in a movie. the combination of anger and pain on his face with that lighting is just amazing.

[@chrismaverick9828]

In the DVD release there was a subtitle track for "Pikey" where it showed what Mickey was saying. Well, all except that scene when they were coursing. When he started spelling out the details of what he wanted for his mother's caravan, the subtitles were only " ? " Got a laugh out of that.

[@MortPure]

Brick Top, aka alan davis, lovliest man around. we used to organise my niece and nephews summer fairs every year, it just so happened he was a regular at their grandma's pub. he opened this rinky dink summer fair and made the local news. the parents were all in awe and the kids had no clue

[@redfender5814]

Loved the reaction! One of my all time favorite movies. Such an amazing cast, rip Dennis Farina

[@whitehead1187]

As an English bloke who loves this film it was great to see you (an American fella) laugh at the same things I laughed at. Just shows alot of the humour is universal despite not everybody understanding the accents. You are right though mate, it is definitely worth watching again to fully appreciate it all. There is so much happening early on you are concenttrating more on learning the plot than enjoying the jokes. Tyrone, Lenny and Vincent in the car still one of the funniest things ever.

[@slowerthinker]

If you want to see _the best_ British gangster film, then that would be "The Long Good Friday" from 1980 with Bob Hoskins & Helen Mirren. It also features a young "Bricktop" & "Hatchet Harry" not to mention a very young Pierce Brosnan .

This film is a genuine classic and plain, great fun. I'm an Aussie, but always watch good movies with subtitles (especially English or American), because otherwise I miss more than half the meaning of the story and even more of the humour and irony.

[@frankmorris2603]

British American collabs are usually outstanding. All the planets aligned with the Snatch production.

[@jhaand]

Thank you for this reaction video. We watched Snatch yesterday for the nth time since 2000. It's nice to see that it still holds up in this day and age for a first viewing. Fun fact: They added the first and last scene with Turkish and Tommy at Doug the head with the diamond at the end of shooting as an afterthought. But this ties the movie so brilliantly together.

[@traceynicholson6774]

One of the best films ever and all accents were true to Britain even Brad's Irish gypsy accent

[@aleksisuuronen5969]

Good catch with Edgar Wright, he has done pretty much the same thing but with his twist to it with the edit of Avi flying overseas. When it's just fast cut, cut, cut and cut and he is in Britain. Hit Fuzz had samekinda cutting when the Simon Pegg's cop goes from London into the town where the movies takes place.

Tyrone in the car is hilarious. He takes up THE ENTIRE FRAME. The squeaking from the cars frame and his leather jacket is hilarious, too.

[@zegh8578]

Of course - you can't know - in fact, most people outside the UK can't know, but the term "pikey" is considered quite the strong slur :D Sort of... like a good ol' Tarantino-dialog-moment! It's just fun to watch people wonder about the word, out loud In fact, it's a well known thing (even a whole meme-subject) the otherwise-liberal-European attitude toward Roma people (also known as "gypsi" - also consider a slur) as well as other kinds of "Travellers" (that may or may not be related to Roma-people, but share a similar culture and/or reputation) - it's very complicated, with a history that is both dark and ongoing. From what I understand, the "pikeys" in this film are non-Roma related, but still refered to as both "gypsi" and then "gippos" in at least one scene (yet a slur!)
