Michael Caine's Dark Past

Michael Caine is one of the most beloved actors in history. From Alfie to Alfred, his career has spanned eight decades, and he's racked up more accolades than we can count. But Hollywood's most charming Cockney has a surprisingly dark history.

The narrator is reviewing Michael Caine’s life from a modern perspective….if he lived through those times he would realise that many of the actions portrayed there was no alternative to caring for disabled children in darker times. His mother didn’t ‘lie’ with malice.

[@kaleidoscope8743]

The only betrayal here is the narrator's total misrepresentation of Cain's mom. At no point is there any real evidence to suggest any betrayal on his mom's part; nor is there any evidence that Michael felt bitter or betrayed after discovering he had a disabled brother. At that time, institutions were simply the only resource people had to take care of disabled family members. And it was not considered a betrayal but rather a merciful advancement in benefit.

Just the half brother. People are to hard on the moms. They have to make choices by themselves,pay for everything,do everything ❤❤

[@lindanicholls3370]

I don’t think she should be blamed but they had a right to know at a certain point/age. I know if it was me, I would want to know and if possible visit her and get to know her.

I think one of the people Sir Michael would never forgive would be Woody Allen. Please note, it's Wuthering Heights, not Withering and Michael's real name is pronounced Morris, not Mo-reese. So many fabulous movies over so many decades but more importantly, what a thorough gentleman is Sir Michael Caine.

Unfortunately, far too many of youtube creators not only didn't learn how to research their topics well, but when we point out errors, they refuse to accept correct information, and go right on, acting as they are always right. We have a huge example of this, in the 45th president, and apparently 74 million people think it's just fine to be that way. I hope other countries aren't filled with such fools.

So! Michael Caine had no dark secret did he ? I have to agree with your statement that there was no care available for epilepsy though. My youngest brother suffered from it and he was raised at home entirely by my parents. Finally at the age of twelve he was admitted to a special day school and only went there for two days, as they could not cope with him. He died at home at the age of sixteen. At least Michael's mother had put his brother in the safest place she could find. My parents and brother received no help at all financially or otherwise from the state as he needed care 24/7 as they say these days. It hurt my parents so much they could barely bring themselves to talk about him afterwards as they'd loved him so much. This happened in the 1940/50s era . I've only in the last ten years or so begun to tell others what life was like for us in those days as most people were ashamed to have someone epileptic in their family and no one seemed to want to know at the time.

[@peggyjaeger9280]

That is so sad. Today they have treatments for it. Although, it is still little understood and the medications aren't 100% effective. People can still live relatively normal lives.

[@user-ro2vb8by7u]

I’m so sorry.

M.Caine is an anagram of cinema.

[@kaleidoscope8743]

The only betrayal here is the narrator's total misrepresentation of Cain's mother. At no point is there any real evidence to suggest any betrayal on his mom's part for taking care of her son in a medical facility; nor is there any evidence in this video that Michael himself felt bitter or betrayed after discovering he had a disabled brother. Just the At that time, institutions were simply the only resource people had to take care of disabled family members. And it was not considered a betrayal, but rather a great benefit that they had such a merciful medical advancement in patient care & treatment. Complete flop as historical coverage of the actor's life.

These are definitely AI generated scripts. I hate getting the American narrator, their scripts are the worst. Inaccuracies in every one.

[@GEMof72]

Thankfully he had good care. The government isn’t known to care for the mentally ill.

[@freakinfrugal5268]

Wuthering. Not Withering. come on.

[@Brightangel55]

Hilarious 😅

[@antoinettevambe5714]

I believe Michael Caine is also one of the few Hollywood actors to speak about Woody Allen's child sexual abuse allegations by saying he'd never work with him again

[@toomignon]

"The Italian Job" was my dad's all time favorite movie!

[@yvonnedobiash2180]

He wasn't in the Italian Job that was Kefer Sutherlan. Unless there are 2 movies. It's one of my favorite ones.

[@toomignon]

@@yvonnedobiash2180 The original (1969) starred Michael Caine. the redo (2003) with Donald Sutherland and Mark Wahlberg doesn't hold a candle to the original. I'm not aware of any other remake?

First saw Caine, a relative unknown, in mid-60s "The Ipcress File", a good cold war spy intrigue film. I knew then he'd become an A-list actor.

[@BrightonJames-pz8kv]

His name was Morris. It might have been spelt the French way, as was quite common back then, but it was always pronounced "morris". Nobody would have answered to "mo-reese".

[@sarahjeannepeterson5536]

One of the Bee Gees was named Maurice. Always pronounced Morris. I learnt that from movies as well. I had a friend later in my life - his name was always pronounced Morris as well.

What a horrible betrayal by his Mother. I understand that she had to do what she did at the time, but the betrayal part is that she should have told her husband and also should have told Michael when he was older. I believe the reason she kept this a secret, was because she felt guilty for putting her son in an institution and she didn't want her family to think poorly of her if they knew what she had done.

[@loricourtland8909]

Did any of you see him in "The Hand"?

Michael Caine's acting in The Quiet American was great.

[@yvonnedobiash2180]

I loved Michael Caines acting. He always seemed in control and genuine which is what l thought British men were. He has never shown prejudice against anyone. I especially loved the movie with Sally Field where they were financially desperate. He had been married to a woman who took him to the cleaners and was afraid to ever marry again. The two together were hilarious l wonder what Sally experienced with him.

Didn't mention that Caine has 2 daughters, Dominique with 1st wife and Natasha with 2nd.

The class-system was still quite pervasive in British society when he came up. There really were a lot of barriers holding back someone who came from where he did. It’s understandable.

It's so obvious this script came from Chat GPT. The narrator is using words I guarantee he doesn't know the meaning of. And did he insinuate Jaws is one of the worst films ever made wtf? Narrator has a lot of vim, but speaks like a child. Scripting is just a Wikipedia page. No good. But narrator keep practising.

And I must say that you are funnier than Cunk but not as funny as Monty Python. P.S. Braveheart is the funnier than Mel Gibson intended because it's about as factual as Trumps bombastic lies.
