THE IRON GIANT (1999) TWIN BROTHERS FIRST TIME WATCHING MOVIE REACTION!

[@theycallmek3v]

You laugh at those instructional vids, but you have to remember that this takes place during the Cold War, when nuclear war was very much a real possibility. And no, they weren't meant to help the kids but instead give them some hope of survival in the case of an attack, even if it was false hope.

[@frankhorrigan2047]

Duck and Cover is actually a good tactic, but only if you're outside of the thermal radius. In this outer area the risk of being vaporized or burned is low, but there is still a shockwave that'll knock down trees, power lines and shatter glass, so ducking into a secure position (closet, basement, sturdy desk, etc.) and covering yourself with as much protection as possible gives you a better chance at surviving if you'll even want to, because depending on the yield and method of detonation there could be that pesky radioactive fallout to deal with.

[@TheGallantDrake]

Something similar goes on nowadays with airport security checks. If someone wanted to hijack a plane, those checks aren’t gonna do jack. All they do is give people a feeling that there is some kind of safeguard.

“Duck and Cover” is a real educational video they made to tell people what to do if an atomic bomb was dropped in your area. The irony being that a table wouldn’t do sh*t to protect you from a nuclear blast.

[@snakesnoteyes]

Fun fact, if you’re not at ground zero or the immediate fallout radius (which even for modern nukes is less that people tend to think) everything you can put between yourself and the detonation site helps, and ducking puts you below most school and office windows which would serve as amplifiers. If you live in DC duck and cover is stupid, but with current nukes if you live 15-20 miles outside of DC it could save your life

The pregnancy made me so uncharacteristically emotional and I lost it at the scene, at the end, when they're in the middle of town. Like, someone just called and told me my mom, brother, cat, Nana and favorite cousin all just died simultaneously; Lost It. 😭😭😭 A small part of my brain was telling me that it wasn't that deep, but my heart and soul were telling me that they were both broken beyond repair. 😄

There was a scene that was cut from the film that I really hope gets added back eventually. It explained that there were millions of identical iron giants in space that were built to invade our planet sometime in the future to destroy humanity. Our main giant was only one of them who crash landed on earth by mistake. This was why he had the defense mechanism that caused him to destroy, it’s what he was meant to do. In the cut scene, Dean found this out early, which was why he he lashed out and called the giant a weapon and a gun. Here’s the link to the scene below… kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaSvYXqYqNx5aas

[@teamtx1578]

They put that scene in the extended edition as well as an extra scene between Dean and Annie in the diner.

[@22Tesla]

I saw that scene, thought I don't think the Giant's are intended to destroy humanity. I mean, the scene of the alien planet getting obliterated before we see hundreds of identical robots, is seen from the ground. I see it as the giant's planet got attacked, and maybe destroyed the planet as the "ultimate solution" against the invaders. My evidence is mostly a theory, but why I say this: if your giant walking gun is sent to attack other planets: a) why give it a safe mode? I mean, you build a tank, it looks like a tank. It doesn't need a safe mode to make it look more friendly. If the giant was intended to be a weapon only, why make it look so un-threatening? Massive size aside, the Giant looks like an un-threatening robot until he pulls out his guns when threatened b) why make it so when they crash land they get ammensia and forget their prime directive to destroy? Since the Giant crashlands on earth head first. And if you were intending to send a giant robot to lay waste to a planet, why put the computer that's driving it in a place that's so easily damaged? I mean, the metal on his head dents so easily, even for a machine that can survive being nuked. And.... c) WHY give your weapon a brain that can learn useless information and chose to go against its programming? I know, the aliens who made the Giant probably gave it a human-like brain so it could adapt to a changing battlefield, but still, you'd think the main directives of your super weapon wouldn't be so easily lost and instead your steel beast becomes more human, building up enough data and learning concepts like life/death and the concept of choice, when that would turn your weapon into a man. It's that reason which makes me think the giant was meant for more peaceful actions on his planet, only unleashing his guns when threatened by something as small as a hand gun which, to his knowledge, kills robots like him. It's like a police officer donning a bullet proof vest and helmet during extreme situations. But that's just my way of looking at it and sorry to kinda rant about it. Just my two cents

The negative was the lack of promotion pretty much guaranteeing failure in the theatres.

Yeah the part where he thought Hogarth was dead, and then he grows angry and fueled with rage, I said "oh shit, now, he's pissed." Kinda like a hulk transformation. The ending was a hard moment because that idiot mansley literally screwed up big time by having the missle launched over the town. The giant makes a tough decision to sacrifice himself in order to save the people and the town. The moment he hurls into the missle, I cried a little, then I said, "you did what you had to do." Although, they never explained what happened to mansley in the aftermath. I'm hopeful he got fired and ended up into some type of prison for what he did. If only they'd make a sequel.

[@brianstewart3897]

Here is some interesting facts about the film. The Iron Man: The Musical concept album, released in 1989, is an adaptation of Ted Hughes' story The Iron Man(1968), produced and largely composed and performed by Pete Townshend of The Who. It also stars Roger Daltrey, Deborah Conway, John Lee Hooker, and Nina Simone. The three then-surviving members of The Who (Daltrey, John Entwistle, and Townshend) performed as a group in two songs. A full stage version was mounted at the Young Vic theatre in London in 1993. On the strength of this, Warner Bros. optioned the story for a movie which, with a very different adaptation of the story, became The Iron Giant; Townshend received an Executive Producer credit for the film version. the original story had TIM coming to earth, befriending Hogarth and eventually the whole town, and defeating a giant galaxy sized alien dragon that wants to eat the earth. Brad Bird was in part inspired to make this movie as a memorial to his sister Susan, who died at the hands of her husband by gun violence. His pitch was this: "What if a gun had a soul and didn't want to be a gun?" "Frank" and "Ollie," the two trainmen that Kent interviews after the derailment, are caricatures of Disney classic animators Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston two animators of classic Disney films and cartoons and two members of Disney's famed Nine Old Men. They also perform the voices for the characters. The Signature Edition(2015) adds two new scenes that were storyboarded for the original film, but were never fully animated until this release. In the first, Dean and Annie have a conversation at the diner right before the farmer sells dean the tractor with the bite taken out of it. In the second, the Iron Giant has a dream in which he leads an army that takes over and destroys a alien world that is seen by dean on the TV , explaining the scene in the final film of him telling Hogarth the giant is dangerous. also In the original, Hogarth finds the Giant's hand watching the TV, showing an advertisement for Maypo Cereal. Director Brad Bird initially wanted an ad for the Disneyland attraction Tomorrowland. Disney would not not grant clearance to use this footage back 1999, when the film was originally shown. Disney allowed the footage to finally be used when Brad Bird directed the film version of Tomorrowland , which was released the same year as the Signature Edition. The one i have is the The Ultimate Collector’s limited Edition number 1,230 of 15,000 that includes: - A letter from Director Brad Bird to the fans - Five Mondo Art Cards - Beautiful 32-Page Book - Collectible Iron Giant Figurine and the Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD Combo Pack

Something I specifically love about this movie is the General. In most movies, a general is portrayed as a crazy whacko who instantly goes to nukes. This general is level-headed, constantly adapts to the situation, is trying to ensure civilians survive and secure the giant. He is lied to that a kid has gotten killed and is talked into using a nuke, which he quickly reacts to with “Are you MAD?” He RESPECTS the power that a Nuke has and plays his cards carefully. He then finds out the kid (Hogarth) is still alive and things can potentially end safely and for a third time, adapts… only for Mansley to screw everything up.

I did appreciate the comments about the resourcefulness of taping the flashlight to the BB gun... without taking into account that the swell of the lamp completely blocks the muzzle.

One of the most underrated movies. I love it every time. Trivia: it was supposed to end on a darker note with the Giant just being blown up but at the last minute it was changed so the end scene was the pieces being put together again. Also, rumored, there was a talked about sequel but the movie didn't do well when it first came out in theaters. It gained much more attention and fame after the fact.

This movie is one of my all time favourite. The story is amazing, the animation is great, the voice acting is phenomenal and the directing is spot on. The scene where the Iron Giant chooses to be a hero rather than a weapon of war by sacrificing himself has made me cry every time I´ve seen this movie. Not because it´s sad but because it´s one of the purest examples of what people can accomplish in life. As Hogarth said, you are who you CHOOSE to be!

duck and cover is what we were taught. climb under the desk , keep your eyes closed to the flash and that four extra cans of tuna your moms had put back would last until the danger was over and you could go back outside. i am nearly seventy.

I'd say this movie is like a cross between Superman, E.T., and Short Circuit.

People who haven't seen Iron Giant: have we seen Iron Giant? We might have seen Iron Giant. I don't remember if we've seen Iron Giant. People who've seen Iron Giant: *entire movie flashes through their head again in moments* Yeah, you haven't seen Iron Giant. I love, love, love this movie. I'm glad you guys got a chance to see it and love it too!

[@2008akir]

I’m so happy y’all did this movie this is one of my fav movies 😫🙌🏾

An under appreciated classic, The Iron Giant, that Warner Bros & theatre owners mis-handled. “Duck & Cover” was promoted at many schools in 1950s until early 1960s. Did you know that Brad had worked on the screenplay for The Incredibles since 1992? Brad Bird moved from Warner to Pixar (2000-2001), where they realized his talent. (The Incredibles, Ratatouille) The late John Mahoney, voiced the General.

This was one of my favourite movies to watch on repeat when I was a kid. Loved it and funnily enough was thinking about it the other day

[@amandafox8603]

Fun fact: The Iron Giant is voiced by Vin Diesel. :)

[@browniewin4121]

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie when I saw it long ago, I love the Iron Giant. I enjoyed Ready Player One (2018) and one of my favorite things about it was the appearance of The Iron Giant.

[@kevinwilson140]

The implications of the iron giant are really troubling. It's a robot designed to look like it doesn't have weapons. Not a lot of peaceful applications for a thing like that. Perhaps more disturbing is that the dent on his head disappeared then reappeared as his personality changes. It means he didn't bump his head, his harmless personality is programmed. It could be here to test our defenses, bumble around destroying infrastructure in an innocent way till it causes a hostile response then game on.

The extended version shows the world he came from.

[@leemcintyre9490]

Took my Daughter to see this when she was Little!! We Loved it So much , I Had to Promise her that I would buy this when it came out on DVD!! Kudos to The Vocal talents of, Vin Diesel. Jennifer Aniston. Harry Connic Jr. And John Mahoney!

[@itsjustmaddisen]

I still have the VHS tape of this and I still cry at the end lol.

[@twylanaythias]

Those "Duck & Cover" films were still a thing in grade school in the 1970s. Few people nowadays can comprehend just how much an existential threat the Cold War Era was - recent 'hot' wars in Korea and Vietnam, each side backed by a superpower literally capable of destroying the entire planet a dozen times over. Numerous close calls such as the Cuban Missile Crisis (and surely many others that we never knew about at the time) resulted in an indescribable combination of exuberance and dread... living each day as it might be your last when any random event could turn global annihilation into reality. As hokey as a lot of those films are in retrospect, they did go a long ways towards convincing the public that surviving a nuclear war was possible.

[@ladygray6081]

I love this movie cause the kid has such character! Never get tired of watching it

[@danielallen3454]

In a just world this movie would've been a *smash* hit and had a theme park ride named after it.

[@slanetroyard92]

Imagine seeing the staff dressed as the cast of the movie

[@Neopolitan420]

"Where's the Giant, Mansley?" Is always going to be my favorite line from that movie.

[@JacobPMendoza]

I’ve requesting “The Best Man (1999)” For nearly a year now. Must watch

[@lilceazgfunk3268]

This movie is like my childhood movie it's the best movie that you can watch and I think theres a part 2 I'm to sure

[@tracyanne1548]

I absolutely love this movie ....most people I know never heard of it!

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

This is my favorite animated movie of all time (even against Pixar movies). First time watching it made me tear up as a kid and Brad Bird and Ted killed it as writers and Brad as the director. Genuinely funny and just a great film.

[@tsogobauggi8721]

29:01 "-You are who you choose to be. -Superman..." :(

[@Bulbman123]

"Where's the giant Mansley?!"

[@fluffiedoom]

I cried just watching the review...the Superman scene gets me every time. I remember when this came out and I skipped it thinking it was an E.T. rippoff and I was 19 thinking I was "too cool for kids movies" (I cringe at my past self). OMG...I'm glad I watched it with my kids years later. I was SO surprised at how awesome it is! One of my all time favorites. Another one was "Cats Don't Dance". I misjudged it, it's actually pretty fabulous!

[@jessicabowiedetroit92]

In the animated category may I please suggest "Balto" it's sooooo underrated seriously!!!

[@Cantmakeupmymindonaname]

Idk if you have watched" ready player one" but everyone i know was super excited about seeing iron man in it. Its a fan movie made by fans ❤ for fans❤ that tried to squeeze in every fandom into one movie that they could. I totally geeked out
