"What kind of people are you?!" "What kind of place is this?!" The best line in the movie.

[@Kunsoo1024]

Rod Steiger, who played Sheriff Gillespie, won best actor of the year. He's nothing like it in real life - completely different accent. Amazing actor. The story really wasn't about the mystery. It was about a period of time in the south. It wasn't that the chief was "all right." It's that there is hope for him. I think if you watch it again, you will find that there was development with the chief. It was subtle, but it was there.

[@richvaman1823]

Rod Steiger deserved the award, BUT it's a shame that Sidney Poitier wasn't even nominated for an Oscar (Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor) and IMO should have won one!

[@hannejeppesen1809]

The acting of Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger is off the wall. I saw this movie when it first came out, it never gets old.

[@gordondafoe3516]

Gillespie had some redeeming qualities. He was trapped by culture, and situation. His was the highest regard for Virgil near the end. Note the final sendoff - that is the ONLY time in the film, that you see Rod Steiger smile! This film gets better with every viewing. RIP Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger, and thank you! This film took the Oscars.

18:48 "DNA sample?" -Sid about 20 years too soon, thank you for stepping in Hunter.

[@dwill123]

I found your reaction interesting. I saw this movie when it first cam out (I’m 69). My comments are you must take a step back and realize the makeup of 1967. The hole context of walt was going on was completely different. For example, the movie was depicted in the (deep south) was filmed no wear near the deep south (in fact it was filmed in Illinois). Not because it was cheaper but because Sidney Poitier and others had real concerns about the safety of the actors and the protection people who might go see the movie in a deep south movie theater of the late 60s. hard to picture something like that in 2024 back in 1967 it was a real concern. Remember MLK was still alive when the movie came out and was murdered one year later. Think about it.

Hunter Boyle is breathtaking!! Such deep bright eyes 😍😍😍😍 Good for people of color to react to this movie....not too many reactions to it on KZbin. 😀 This is a really good movie with a good anti-racist message. 😀Remember, these guys are just acting...the guy who plays the sheriff isn't racist at all IRL, and he's not from the south. 😀 The TV show was also very good, I watched it religiously in high school (I graduated 1996). The TV show was not as good when the guy playing Mr. Tibbs had to leave....apparently he had a drug problem. But the lady who played his wife -- Ann-Marie Johnson, who was also on In Living Color, Melrose Place and many other things -- said that the racist town where they recorded the show made her feel very uncomfortable...she grew up in Los Angeles, and she said there were a lot of racists in that small town. 😮 There's a reason why those of us in the "blue states" -- the anti-Trump states -- as well as the major cities within the red states, avoid areas like that! Ignorant racists. 😮 I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and still live here, and I wouldn't go to a state like that unless I'm visiting a national park! 😮 btw -- there was a sequel to this movie called They Call Me Mr. Tibbs, where he goes to San Francisco, my area! 🙂I haven't seen the sequel yet, though! 🙂 He was also in a movie called Look Who's Coming to Dinner, where he is marrying a white woman, and has to deal with some racism from the woman's father, and his own father wants him to marry a black woman. 🙂

The Miranda ruling occurred in June 1966. Screenwriting and early production on the film started in 1965 and it was released in 67. Considering writing, filming, and post production like editing, scoring, marketing and distribution, etc., reading rights was not a common concept yet.

[@Dej24601]

This is an important film for many reasons. It came out during the height of Civil Rights issues and shows both the old social system, particularly of the South, and the dawning of the new. It showed that social change will take place person by person but that institutions must model the highest legal and ethical laws, regardless of how citizens or society in general behaves. Technically, it came up with techniques so that the lighting and camerawork on dark skin looked as beautiful or powerful as light skin. The famous “slap” was a groundbreaking first in American cinema and was specifically written into the script at the insistence of Sidney Poitier. Many of the characters are flawed, stupid or cruel but the point of art is not to always show “perfect” people who never say the wrong thing, but to show reality in a time or place, or the journey which people make as a character arc, while they change, however small or subtle that change might be.

[@PapaEli-pz8ff]

Your reactions to this film almost took me back to my high school days in Brooklyn, New York.. 1967 when I first saw this film in the movie theater. Powerful emotions expressed by both of you. Thanks for sharing this experience here on KZbin!

[@ernestitoe]

Me too, up in Rochester. I was 16. Back in 1961, when the first black family moved into our all-white neighborhood neighborhood, there was a hell of an upheaval. But the new family had more supporters than detractors, so they moved in and immediately had a circle of friends standing by them. My family was one of them. Three years later, one of the first of the "long, hot summers" occurred. It was an extremely tense time, as I'm sure you remember.

[@Col_Fragg]

I think you guys missed the point of the film. The mystery of who killed Colbert is secondary. The primary point of the story is the development of the relationship between Tibbs and the Sheriff. This is one of the all-time great films. It has tremendous re-watchability thanks to great acting. The fight scene was perfectly fine. I'm not sure what you were expecting. It's not a Kung Fu movie. It is however the winner of five Academy Awards including "Best Picture of 1968."

[@tomiwilliams4273]

I hated the racism in the story, but it did a good job of putting us in the lens of that place and in the time. But it I think this feature was progress, as to bring to light, how things actually were, in the small towns in America. I am half Japanese, I lived in Kentucky and Indiana, I experienced that in the 1970s till we moved to California.

[@JMO_1976]

I think part of the problem is that you guys are expecting this to be more like it is today (not that today is perfect in any way shape or form). While the mid 60s was before my time, I learned about it from the movies my parents watched (both of them born in 1929). Two of my Mom's favorite movies were Guess Who's Coming to Dinner & In the Heat of the Night, both starring Sydney Poitier. I remember seeing her face break into a hige grin when he'd say back authoritatively "They call me Mr Tibbs!" Anyways, this movie doesn't show things how they should be, it shows them how they were, and that's what makes it more powerful. To see a person like Gillespie change from beginning to the end shows that change does come, but never as fast as we'd like it. It takes time, but the really important things usually do. And honestly we're still not there yet, in fact I think we took a few hundred steps back starting in 2016, but it just means we have to work that much harder to get there.

[@richvaman1823]

It's a shame that Sidney Poitier wasn't even nominated for an Oscar (Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor) and IMO should have won one!

[@jamesgreenhow108]

There was a very popular TV series that lasted more than 5 years starring Howard Rollins and Carrol O'Conner.

[@smadaf]

Per the calendar in Chief Gillespie's office, this is set in September of 1966. The United States Supreme Court issued its opinion in _Miranda versus Arizona_ on 13 June 1966.

[@PapaEli-pz8ff]

P.S.I'm now a new subscriber to your channel, Hunter and Sid 😎

[@YoureMrLebowski]

20:03 🤣🤣🤣🤣 omg, Hunter's lips are moving so it looks like _she's_ say the dialogue. too funny.

[@michaelthomas5976]

Sorry, but that fight scene is really realistic. Not hollywood like. Four against one. Sidney Poitier does everything right!!!!!! No heroics.

[@susanfox6666]

I disagree. That smile was needed at the ending. Tibbs made HUGE progress with that sheriff, and the sheriff had changed his mind. A victory for civil rights. Remakes are usually crap. This movie was a masterpiece, as is.

[@leonbrowder5980]

Did you note the year methods and tech was not known then.

[@JMO_1976]

I was checking to see if someone was going to mention this. Forensics in the mid 60s isn't the same as it is now. If it were, the Son of Sam might've been caught quicker, and the Zodiac murders might've actually been solved. I don't know if you've seen it, but comedian John Mulaney does a bit about old time cop shows and their lack of forensics. "Detective, we found a pool of the killer's blood in the hallway." "Hmm, gross. Mop it up. Now then, back to my hunch."

[@PaulWilliams-pn3fl]

Excellent reaction Can you guys react to (BlackBoard Jungle) or Guess Who's Coming to Dinner ? Two films starring Sidney Poitier. Thank you for posting.

[@YoureMrLebowski]

16:54 "I don't know enough about your mother to hate her." -Sid 😆 Hunter's mom is great, she recommended this movie. 👍🏼

[@YoureMrLebowski]

5:52 "but even then, for black people it was a different year." -Hunter 😆

[@jamesgreenhow108]

I was 7 yrs old when my parents took us to ABC DRIVE INN in Fort Washington, MD. in 1967. I was not interested in the movie at all. Until Tibbs and Endicott slapped each other and my mother let out a bone chilling scream and my father started the car and reached for his pistol. It was a mad rush as many cars kicked up dust heading for the exit. It was 1975 before I ever saw the end of this movie.

[@ammaleslie509]

OMG I used to live near there!!! I remember the ABC Drive In!!! Used to go there with my mom sometimes and I was so young I actually watched the movie and didn't know what the teenage couples were doing all around us.

[@lordvader199]

For the youtube algos, I have 'Liked' your upload and commented on it. With that being written, I suggest you guys don't react to any additional movies made prior to... maybe 2009 or so. The less-than-modern virtues of the characters, would only distract you from enjoying the actual movie. Take care.

[@YoureMrLebowski]

4:41 "ok Barney Fife." -Hunter aww, Barney wouldn't do that.

[@fernandollanas5959]

The film is 55 years old you looking at a 2024 perspective things have changed so much you have to put your mind set in 1967

[@Little-Larry777]

YO! Barney Fife would never!

[@keithnphx63]

I love this movie. I absolutely love this movie. Steiger and Poitier are excellent together. It's a shame more folks don't react to it. Once upon a time I hoped for a remake starring Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington. But the time for that has long since passed. Too bad. I think it could have been great.

[@hannejeppesen1809]

You realize if they did everything you suggested there would be no movie.

[@hiyadroogs]

I love how this film, or indeed any film reaction, reveals far more about the reactors than the characters depicted in the film. You guys display precisely the same emotionally driven prejudices & bigotries towards the characters as the characters themselves, - by not listening, & engaging with your preset judgements of certain demographics in order to project, - rather than to listen, observe, & engage with the character's where they are, & the environment in which they grew up. That's how the seeds of racism & bigotry begin. It's easy to succumb if we're not careful, isn't it? Especially if we are surrounded by others of the same mindset, who never pull us up about it to help self reflection. Virgil occasionally succumbed to the same prejudices until he blocked his emotional investment by engaging his reason & logic. Any one of us can & will occasionally submit to prejudice. & whenever you run into it, prejudice always obscures the truth, & the ability to listen, relate, & understand other people. Gillespie, by the end of the film was able to lay down some of the innate prejudices of his environment by listening, respecting, & relating. 'People are born ignorant. Not stupid. We only become stupid by education & indoctrination' Bertrand Russell. 1872-1970.

[@YoureMrLebowski]

11:58 it makes for a much better reaction when it's the first time for you both. but that's just, like, my opinion, man.

[@ButDidYouLikeItReactions]

I agree :)

[@Little-Larry777]

YOUR REVOLUTION IS OVER! CONDOLENCES! THE BUMS LOST!

[@BLUEsurf63]

Once i heard i'm already pissed off at this movie, i 'd had enough. A classic movie and one of the best films ever made ruined..

[@franchk8372]

Great movie ... horrible seeing this reaction.

[@buffstraw2969]

They're young. In a few years, they may rewatch this film and grow to appreciate it better.

[@franchk8372]

@buffstraw2969 Yes, indeed. Patience.

[@buffstraw2969]

@@franchk8372 🙂

[@hannejeppesen1809]

I kind of enjoy your reaction, but you talk too much over the actors. It would be better if you just commented once in awhile. and not talking over the actors.

[@donaldreeves9927]

You guys are idiots....one of the best movies ever.
