MIB 1

[@BudFuddlacker]

When Kay said “Did he say when?“ Jay realizes he’s finally talking to someone who’s taking him seriously

[@JadenMoon1475]

I can't help but instinctively answer "No" when I watch K ask that!!

[@dagwort]

Notice the deliberate and dramatic pause. One of the most ominous scenes in the film, for a comedy. (Which those bean-counting directors of network programming often trim to make more time for commericals, the jerks.)

[@jbw042300]

This scene hits different when you realize K has been waiting for this moment since the 60's

[@sacundim]

Yeah, it ruins this scene. Instead of J being some random everyman who is badass enough to chase down that alien and impress K, it's more like he's picked out of something akin to nepotism

[@conorwellman8592]

Yeah, this really ruins things and removes a lot meaning/plot development from most of the movie. It ruins J proving himself and makes any arguments or doubts by K or Zed ("He has a real problem with authority," "Let's hope you know what you're doing") look stupid if they already knew he would be a successful agent. It also cheapens the scene where K is trying to convince him to join or is impressed by him for chasing down the alien in this scene. also, it cheapens the scene J stays up all night trying to decide what to do. For MIB to be" real" and "genuine," it has to have happened in a different timeline or universe or something like that.

[@Yorcont]

@@MrIronhat Not so important since by MiB2 she went back to the morgue, but perhaps she heard the conversation and wanted to have the support of the man who chased the alien down, sadly MiB was already on the case so she loses her chance at that part... funny enough she seemed to be in the way since more aliens ended up in her hands.

1:51 "You really ran this dude down on foot kid thats tuff. Thats double tuff." I always loved that K really seemed to be impressed that J was actually able to keep up with a species of alien that had superhuman abilities, K even convinced Z to give J the job solely on that basis too.

[@itwasaliens]

I think the fact that he didn't freak out when noticing the supernatural abilities and still treated him like a human being when catching up helped too.

When you see that K was being serious and James tought he was joking, you realize how brilliant this movie was made. Subtle details.

[@TheSimMan]

Remarkable difference between this, the original, and the later films. MIB has a whole naturalism about it, a flow that is completely naturalised and real. The later films received a gradual and ever increasing amount of romanticism and hollywood’ism about them, and made watching those films wholly artificial and something we couldn’t relate to; in other words, they made the stories and aura of the later films an artificiality and a persistent need to make every scene a ‘gasp ‘n’ grasp’. They’re ‘fake’. This makes Men in Black (MIB 1) an absolute classic and something most of us can enjoy and love.

[@AdamWest1290]

Thats why I honestly hated MIB2 and MIB3..I thought they were both horrible and didn't even come close to being as good as the first one...just like TMNT 1 (1990) it was a great movie but the sequels compared to the first were shit

[@rizkyadiyanto7922]

@@AdamWest1290 good sequels exist, but they are rare.

[@maxeisenhardt8800]

I agree. This one has a more grounded approach that makes it feel more plausible within its sci-fi context. The sequels, on the other hand, went for a far more whimsical and over-the-top route. While I still enjoy them, the original is by far the best one.

After watching Men in Black 3, the expression that K makes at 1:34 it's just hitting him that after watching J/James all his life since he was a kid, now K is meeting him as a man and future employee! I know I'm projecting, but that's just how it looks to me!

[@Shanethefilmmaker]

Pretty much. He watched him to make sure he stayed out of trouble, both the mundane and the alien kind. But when he saw something that couldn't be helped even with a neuralizer, he had to step in. Also explains why he's so quick to intercept him once shit went crazy.

@@Bangla_te_Shob You might be right! I've not seen the movies in a while.

I do kind of like MIB 3 but I prefer to think of the first as a standalone, where J's just some scrappy smart-arse cop who has the right stuff, but just needs to learn some discipline.
