THE BIRDCAGE (1996) TWIN BROTHERS FIRST TIME WATCHING MOVIE REACTION!

[@marybethgoeggel4658]

‘There’s only one place in the world I call home, and it’s because you’re there.’ Single-handedly the best declaration of love line in film.

[@jimmyl324]

That is such a great scene

[@killinglonliness88]

"I'm 50 years old, there's only one place in the world I call home, and it's because you're there." That's true fucking love.

[@dmanslovesCOB]

Speaking about Nathan's and Robin's relationship when this was made Nathan wasn't out of the closet yet and Oprah during an interview was really pushing to get Nathan to come out, Robin saw this and immediately jumped in making a joke out of it taking the attention off Nathan. Nathan has gone on saying that was one of the kindest things ever and he is forever appreciative of it!

[@thekingofmovies193]

His heart must have broken when he found out about Robin's passing.

[@stormangelus6638]

I remember that interview! Oprah was pushing like the monster she was so she & the nation could judge him & Robin wasn't having it!

[@ianmichalski7997]

It may not seem like that long ago but to come out as gay at that time was still career suicide to an actor. He would have never worked again unless it was as a screaming queen....

[@Cadinho93]

Robin Williams wasn't meant to fall with the soup in the kitchen, which to me, makes it even funnier seeing Hank Azaria crying, but probably trying so hard not to die laughing. Also, Hank Azaria is such an amazing actor. He can do so many different voices and is so diverse in his character portrayals.

[@kriscynical]

I was checking to see if anybody had already posted this little factoid because it's so great.😂 And yes, Hank Azaria was crying to hide his laughter. That's also why Val started chugging out of the bottle. I've always been SO GLAD they left that blooper in the film even though Robin is obviously laughing because goddamn if it isn't a perfect summary of the absolute chaos going on at the time!

One of the kindest stories I found out after the Williams passed was during the press tour for the film Nathan Lane and Robin Williams would do multiple interviews and one in particular asked questions in regards of Nathan's sexuality. It was a open secret that he was gay in the Theater community but wasn't comfortable to be out in the mainstream media and didn't want to forced to do that during an interview. Robin sensing this as the question was asked made a few impressions and talked about how proud he was to represent the gay community in a film that pushes against the status quo and jokes about the stereotypes and that Nathan is the real scene stealer. Nathan since said,"Robin, is the kindest, understanding and greatest people he's ever met oh and he's an iconic actor too!!!"

[@JMac7395]

I'm always surprised at how many people have either never heard of The Bird Cage or never seen it. It's such an underrated classic. Glad you guys watched it. Another great underrated classic comedy with Nathan Lane is Mouse Hunt

Great human being, too. I believe Nathan Lane has mentioned that after the movie came out, and he had not publicly come out yet, they went on Oprah and she basically tried to push him into saying he was gay and Robin stepped in and changed the subject to protect him, something Lane has said cemented Robin as one of the all-time best.

[@angelagraves865]

I'm in complete agreement about Val's "mom" (Chrstine Baranski). If it was important to her she would have made more of an effort. Even when Armand first approaches her she has no idea how old Val is. Just shows how much more of a mom Albert was. "I'm very maternal and Albert's practically a breast." is one of my favorite lines.

[@audrab27]

This is such a great movie! Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, Gene Hackman, Diane Wiest and Hank Azaria all bring their A-game to it. It's one of my go-to feel-good movies.

[@mclizzard2928]

So, I saw this with both of my mommies when I was 9 or 10. I hadn't put a lot of thought into what kind of person I would be as an adult, but when I watched Val smear his dad's makeup on the wall, I thought, "No matter what, I'm never going to make my moms feel this way."

[@HenryCabotHenhouse3]

Nathan Lane (Albert) is a major league stage comedy actor. He played Nathan Detroit opposite Faith Prince in a huge revival of Guys and Dolls, Bialastock in the film musical remake of The Producers, and he also was the voice of Timon in The Lion King.

I remember when Robin Williams was on a German TV show being interviewed and a reporter asked him why do u think we don't have many comedy clubs in Germany he said do u think it's because u killed all the funny people 😂. It cut straight to commercial and when it came back he was no longer there. 😂😂😂 such a legend and truly a tragic loss to the world.

I came across your video by chance and I’m totally enjoying your reaction to this film, one of my all time faves. My favorite scene is during the rehearsal number where Robin imitates several legendary dancers. I’m sure it was totally improvised and unexpected because you can see Nathan and Dan barely holding it together, trying so hard not to laugh so as not to ruin the take. I will always miss Robin Williams. Such an extraordinary talent.

Nathan Lane was the definition of “Yas Queen” in this film and loved him ever since. This film always felt like the Gay “Guess whose coming to dinner” and I love that I also like that they show that the politician parents actually get along with Albert and the others without knowing that they’re gay, showing that it’s totally a ridiculous concept to hate on people for being different.

[@PowerDiva]

Chris nailed it.... this is one of the few films where Robin Williams was outshined by his costar. Nathan Lane absolutely stole the show as Albert. The whole cast really, is so great though. Even though his character was atrocious, Gene Hackman as Barbara's father was fantastic at playing that part.

[@ScarlettM]

25:57 - hope you appreciate how big of a deal that was, when Val introduced Albert as his mother. In the 90s, it was a surprising and brave choice.

[@christhornycroft3686]

Terrific 90s movie that was controversial at the time. If you want to see Nathan Lane play the “straight” man, the 2005 musical version based on the stage play of Mel Brooks’ The Producers is highly underrated. It has some scenes that still get me laughing even to this day. Or you can watch the 1968 version, which isn’t a musical, but Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel are great in it. The newer musical has more jokes and one liners.

[@esweeney47]

This really was a risky movie to do at the time, considering where the US was from a cultural perspective. It was outrageously funny at the time for how much it clashed with "traditional" American ideals.

[@kriscynical]

It's encouraging how much less controversial this movie is now. We have a long ways to go still, but to see that much change in ~30 years is nothing to sneeze at. 😊 I also second that they should watch The Producers! Another brilliantly fun film.

Albert vs "Mom": You're beginning to understand what the LGBTQ+ community know to be family, especially when teenagers are thrown out of their parents' house for coming out as Gay. This film had so many moments: Armond's declaration of love to Albert; the fiancee's instant connection to Albert; Albert's desparate, if doomed, attempts to be Butch out of love for his son...All these made me verklempt... and proud. It's not often that Robin Williams is upstaged, but Nathan Lane did it. What's ironic is that when this film was released, Nathan wasn't out, yet, but their chemistry and fondness for each other was such that, when doing the promotion circuit for the film, Robin was willing and able to deflect questions about Nathan's sexuality.

Always loved this movie, but the line at 24:16 gave me chills about abortion, when Albert says "if you want to kill someone, kill the mothers. That'll stop them."

Nathan Lane, who played Albert was Timon from The Lion King, and was a big musical theater actor. He was so, so good to be able to keep up with Robin Williams in any scene. Hank Azaria (Agador) was also truly amazing, since he was able to keep his composure and delivered his lines with perfect comedic timing. The whole cast was a chef's kiss.

[@Historian212]

Nathan Lane, who played Albert, was already a successful stage actor but hadn’t broken into film when they were casting the movie. So the studio wanted an actor with a bigger name among moviegoers. But Robin Williams insisted that Lane get the part. The thing was that Nathan Lane is gay, but wasn’t out yet. During the promotional tour, Williams and Lane appeared on Oprah. She started to ask Lane a question that was basically going to out him on national TV, which could have ruined his career at that point. But Williams interrupted and deflected the question, essentially saving Lane from the situation. Lane, who’s now a major star, says that he was so grateful to Williams, and was devastated when Williams passed away.

[@marleinasmom]

You cant hate on Katie Archer too badly. She admitted from the jump that she wasnt very maternal. Armand gave her what seems to be a great deal of money to let him have Val... she was more like a surrogate. He had his family, there was no room in it for her. She had no desire to be a mother and she was compensated to relinquish the title... there was no need for her to be there for him. It was a fling and they both walked away with what they wanted.

[@vandalfinnicus1507]

The dynamic between Gene Hackman and Nathan Lane is the my favorite part of the movie. Hackman, a moderate right-winger, playing a republican patriarch, and Lane, a gay Broadway star, playing a much sillier gay man than he is. Williams doesn't steal the show in this one.

I was fortunate enough to discover this cinematic gem at the tender age of 10 in the movie theater when I had the pleasure of watching it alongside my beloved grandmother. From that moment on, it swiftly captured the hearts of not just myself, but my entire family, solidifying its status as a cherished film within our household. The sheer brilliance of its dialogues resonated so deeply with us that we found ourselves frequently quoting them in our daily lives, bringing a touch of humor and joy to even the most mundane of moments. Amid the quarantine, where uncertainty and isolation loomed large, The BIRDCAGE served as a comforting refuge for me. I sought solace in its familiar scenes and endearing characters, finding solace in the laughter it never failed to elicit. I must confess, I have indulged in the pleasure of watching this film approximately 20 times during this period of seclusion. Each viewing only reaffirmed the notion that this movie is akin to a warm, nourishing meal for my soul, providing a much-needed respite from the challenges and anxieties of the outside world. I would never be ashamed if Albert was my mother Witnessing Albert's unconditional love and care towards Val is truly remarkable.

RIP Robbin, he was a treasure. For more Dianne Wiest, I think of Parenthood (1989) and Edward Scissorhands (1990), but she has been is so many movies and won 2 Oscars.

This is one of my favorite movies. I watched a reactor watch a few weeks ago. I worked at Blockbuster Video when this came out, and was big into going to Drag shows with my friends who were...
