PATREON PICK: Happy 4th Of July! Independence Day | FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@davidfrischknecht8261]

The speech the President makes before the final battle never fails to give me chills.

[@Someinsanegenuis]

Same here.. Im not American and I dont really care about Independence day, but that speech is epic

[@ghyslainabel]

The crazy thing is, that speech was written as a placeholder until the real speech would be written.

[@dallassukerkin6878]

Not to steal the Presidents thunder in any way but I have always considered it to be an American 'reimagining' of the Crispin's Day speech from Henry V :) When I was younger and less versed in the meter of Shakespeare I did not find that speech to grip me but now, in my dotage, it powerfully moves me, especially the Kenneth Branagh rendition. Aside: On re-watching that clip just now, as I type this, I spotted a young Christian Bale as a youth sitting in a cart :)

This was not a slow film, it took just enough time to make you care about all the people involved.

[@ryanakers1372]

Exactly! Actually, taking the time to make you care about the characters instead of jumping from action scene to action scene is where most modern action films fail.

[@Unethical.FandubsGames]

@@ryanakers1372 I wouldn't say "most" but it's a common enough issue with modern film-making (In Hollywood at least. Plenty of good movies come out of China, Korea, Japan, India etc. that don't have this issue.) that seems to be trying to appeal to "the modern audience". It's basically "the slasher film" syndrome. Throw a bunch of characters you don't care about into a movie to watch them suffer. Except in an action film. Of course the opposite is also true: "Look at this character! Look at their tragic mary-sue backstory and their 'labels' and how 'representative' they are! Don't you care about them?" The Audience: "Not really."

[@shawnkroll3950]

I am glad you enjoyed this movie. This is pacing of the 80s/90s...story above all else..to explain / show you to engross you into the characters and story. This is good writing....because this is how you tell multiple stories and tie them together. Bill Pullman nailed the veteran to President role...as veteran myself..to be a leader you have to lead by example. The President cared more about lives of the people than about politics, which is what a good President should do. Will Smith and Jeff Goldbloom made amazing duo too. I loved their dynamic, their humor and bonding. Jeff's father was amazing too..the small points of Wisdom he stated the cold, all you need is love, etc. Also, on Russ the alien abductee. Yes, he was crazy but you could tell he was trying to take care of his family, but the drinking got in the way. Which was probably due to not only war but being abducted. His children as you said must have seen him before...because them waving at him about to take off was like them seeing their dad again and then his actions saving not only his children but the world...they got to see their dad's bravery and courage to do what is right.

The fire is the result of them entering our atmosphere.

[@thebkg]

Yes, but exaggerated thru their technological ability to control kenetic energy.

[@ryanakers1372]

​@thebkg It doesn't seem like the ships are intentionally making the fire around them bigger. It's just that each ship has to get to its target before the countdown ends, and thanks to their shield tech, they can handle MUCH higher re-entry speeds than any human spacecraft. Then you factor in the sheer size of the craft and the fireball shown onscreen seems like a plausible size.

[@Unethical.FandubsGames]

I mean.... regardless, the effect is basically nonsense. Atmospheric heating wouldn't look like that with nor without some kind of shielding. In truth: It's because the director wanted it to look cool. That's all. The only time you see anything remotely like that is when material is being combusted in entry. Usually carbon and silica and water evaporation. (Of course, I'm talking about Meteorites.)

[@blakewalker84120]

16:55 "I'm waiting, impatiently, for this to happen." That's the difference between movies today and moves of a generation ago. Today: Everybody is on social media. Everybody has gotten used to being overstimulated within the first minute, or less, of whatever TikTok or KZbin, etc., is showing them. If movies today make you wait more than a few minutes, you switch to another channel, another video, another stream. A generation ago: No Internet, no streaming, everybody was sitting in theater. Writers took their time introducing interesting characters, building tension, anticipation. They get you invested in the characters. Then they paid that off exciting things happening to characters you care about. Nobody does that today. Now, today, exciting things happen right away to characters you don't even know and definitely don't care about. It's a lost art. Not lost because we forgot hot. Lost because we can't do it anymore without losing our audience. Your comment encapsulates that perfectly.

54:50 "The elevator? Wouldn't the elevator be the worst choice?" Maybe, but they're in NORAD, an underground bunker designed for exactly this: surviving any kind of massive attack. It's deep, deep underground. Thousands of feet. Now, maybe there is a staircase, but it would take so long to run down it that when the alien ship blows the top of this mountain off, everybody in the staircase will be incinerated. I'll take my chances on the quick elevator and hope I can beat the clock.

Not really important, but the fire around the ships is accurate. It's the reason our spacecraft have special heat shields for reentry. Anything entering an atmosphere as thick as ours is going to cause a lot of friction and heat and fire like that, but those ships are much larger, thus larger fireballs. That's why meteors falling to earth look like shooting stars, because they are being incinerated on the way down through the atmosphere.

Oddly enough the comments about being a glasses wearer really stuck home :) My sight went bad very young as I got measles when I was three and I got them in my eyes. For six or so years no one knew that I could not see further than the length of my arm - I got a lot of tellings off for getting up from my desk at school and walking right up to the blackboard until one teacher thought to actually ask why :D As you can imagine I still remember to this day getting my first pair of glasses and realising just how huge the world was :chuckles: The only upside to those years being undiagnosed is that my brain learned to interpret the world with the information it had. So if I lost my glasses, make no mistake, I would be in serious trouble but I could still navigate and operate ... it's just I have a visual horizon of about three feet where I can actually see what something is! But no matter how many times I watch this movie the part that always gets me with a genuinely damp face is the scene between the President and his wife when he knows she is dying. I have been through similar, it was cancer rather than injury, and the only reason I am still here is because my wife made me promise that I would not do anything 'foolish' after she was gone. More than ten years ago I held her in my arms as she breathed her last and it is as if my life 'froze' at that moment and I am just waiting for my last breath so I can join her again. And, odd as it may sound, despite that, I understand the President in this story being able to carry on because, for a while, it is as if it happened to somebody else. It's like major physical injury doesn't hurt for a while because your brain releases all those stored up chemicals to stop it - it's the same with catastrophic emotional injury. So it's not bad writing, or that he simply didn't love his wife ... it's actually good writing ... back when Hollywood had that :wry smile:

This movie was competing against "Twister" in 1996 for "Best Special Effects" at the Óscars. "Independence day" won. I really love both movies: "Independende day" and "Twister".

When an object hits the atmosphere of the planet, it creates a fire ball effect, similar to how bullet collides to fire from a gun.
