Watching *THE ADDAMS FAMILY* For The FIRST Time and It Was HILARIOUS! | Movie Commentary!

[@reginaldgickington4793]

"how does gomez addams have a million dollars?" Insane, batshit investments. It's canon that he makes a tremendous amount of money on crocodile farms, abandoned buildings, etc. Pretty much anything that SHOULDN'T return on investment, in fact, does so spectacularly if Gomez is involved. He's supposedly in the top 10 wealthiest characters in fiction, behind Scrooge McDuck.

The Addams family are a parody of the average sitcom family (who try to appear the perfect family while they secretly hate each other), with the catch being they actually adore each other. Gomez and Morticia truly and absolutely love each other and are supportive and caring of their kids, and you can really get the sense that despite their unusual activities, Wednesday and Pugsly do love each other.

[@raraOvO]

this movie and family values were my favourites as a kid! i never liked the way that families were portrayed so unattainably perfect. I always thought that no matter how weird i was i would always have a place with the addams family :) also i knew i shouldn't do any of the dangerous shit they did in the movie but i still loved seeing the creativity.

[@playfulpanthress]

You MUST watch the sequel here!! The Addams Family movies are so important to those who don’t fit in to happy go lucky bullshit of “normal” people. They accept others and enjoy the base emotions that were so antithetical to whatever decade the show or movie is set in. Most kids do go through a homicidal phase, these movies let me know it wasn’t strange. More media should acknowledge it and show healthy outlets for such urges. Like that sweet sword fight with actual battle damage and blood! That was amazing!!

[@shevonneworley9631]

Absolutely love these movies. The sequel was cool too. Joan Cusack is in it and she does a phenomenal job.

[@thecuteintrovert]

I watched this movie as a kid in the 90s and I don't remember thinking anything was off. I loved how weird it was then (as I do now) and I thought the family was interesting. They all seemed to love each other in their own way. Especially Morticia and Gomez. I didn't think twice about how... sexual they were. Haha. I just thought they loved each other very, very much. I also thought they were great parents. They accepted Pugsley and Wednesday for who they were and encouraged them. And yes! Watch the second one.

[@Pixelologist]

I grew up watching reruns of the 60s television show and laughed my ass off! John Astin and Carolyn Jones were so damn good (and she was absolutely gorgeous, to boot). If you get a chance, I'd highly recommend giving the series a shot. As far as the movies go, Raul Julia definitely left his mark on the character of Gomez and Christina Ricci was absolutely marvelous as Wednesday! Love the Addams Family.

[@katwebbxo]

Same here. As a small child I watched the animated show, then these movies when they were released (the second one really but still) and then reruns of the original show as a teenager. I just love them.

This is based on the TV series from the 1960's(which is amazing) which was based on a series of single panel cartoons, originally released in the New Yorker, created by Charles Addams in the 1930's.

Addams. The Addams Family is based on New Yorker cartoons done starting in the 1930s and ending in the 1980s by Charles Addams. He also wrote some books about them. It also had 3 seasons as a TV series in the early 60s, and is still in syndication today.

As a kid when I first watched this, I thought it was so cool the different things the Addams' set up in order to get to the family vault. Very funny and elaborate security system. Also, the sword fight at the play freaked me out ha ha.

[@EssEll9791]

As a kid, I thought I'd found my true family. Being the poor, fat kid at school I felt vindicated. I found out my grandma's maiden name was Adams (only one 'D'). She told me that I already was an Adams, so not to worry. Best gift she ever gave me, the gift of acceptance. To be spooky and ghoulish and wicked but still be kind, generous and compassionate. To this day, I am, an Ad(d)ams. "We gladly feast on those who would subdue us."

[@Soy_boi]

As a kid, who saw this at 4, it was really affective at getting me interested in the occult. While the violence and stuff was obviously played up for laughs, I loved how strange and weird the family was and how they just embraced who they were. But my favorite thing in the movie was Morticia’s and Gomez’s relationship. As a hopeless romantic who hates how romance is often portrayed, I loved how these two fed off each other and seemed to really enjoy being together.

in the 60s series of Addams Family Fester had the ability to light light bulbs in his mouth so it was just something his character could do he also continuously electrocuted himself to charge up his trick, the Lightning from the book brings back his memories and recharges him. Fester had lost his memories in the Bermuda Triangle after getting struck by lightning and tangling in a fishing net

[@EmmyAngua]

Addams Glad you enjoyed! As I'm sure everyone has already mentioned, this movie is amazing but Addams Family Values is ICONIC. To answer your questions... I watched this in around 1995 when I was 7. I was an easily frightened kid but this never bothered me. I think because it was SO over the top and because none of the danger felt real. And The Bermuda Triangle is an urban legend on par with Roswell. Basically it's a small triangle of ocean where ships famously vanish without trace.

[@jimpemberton]

I grew up on the old TV show with Gomez Addams played by Samwise Gamgee's dad. (This was based on an old cartoon from the 1930s.) We were all interested to see if the movie matched our expectations from the TV show. We were satisfied. You should watch the second movie. It's even better than this one in my estimation. It even includes the newest addition of the family.

Of course it turns out it just has a weird magnetic thing going on that messes with traditional compasses so it’s a bit less mysterious now.

Did anyone else have that channel on TV that played old black and white shows? I watched the Addams family and the Munsters. So great! For the time they were on, it was such a funny social commentary. A loving family despite being the opposite of everything 'normal'. A doting affectionate husband, who was goofy and couldn't drive, and a strong sensual wife who ran the house. The kids were actually homeschooled and Uncle Fester wasn't Gomez's brother. He was actually his uncle.

[@AspieMediaBobby]

There was a time when a bunch of ships went missing mysteriously or shipwrecked in the Bermuda Triangle leading it to be nicknamed "The Devil`s Triangle".

[@agenttheater5]

16:03 Just make sure you see the one that's like the original broadway production (not the Chicago production, that one needed a lot of work).

If it helps for the sequel: Gomez and Morticia live purely to have sex. If they’re not having sex then they’re thinking of having sex and if they’re not thinking of having sex then they’re *actually* having sex and thinking of having *more* sex. As for the Bermuda Triangle, I’ll merely say this: bad shit often happens there in unexplained ways. And with Morticia and the light on the eyes, the implication is that she’s a vampire. In the Bella Luigi films (and the Christopher Lee ones too, I think?) light *ONLY* hits Dracula’s eyes. Morticia also never shows her teeth when smiling and, in the TV Series, she asks “do you mind if I smoke” and *literal smoke* comes out of the bottom of her dress… So she, at least, is implied to be, most definitely, *not* human. Also, Wednesday and Pugsley know of Fester, but he’s been missing for twenty five years… implying that *they* have been around for at least 40ish and age much slower than ordinary humans. And the Granny is implied to be a witch - hemlock (poison) is amongst her things. And Cyanide is used for poison too. She’s meant to be a sort of “herbalist”, like one of those nature witches, but it’s more *actual witch* than herbalist. And Great Aunt Calpurnia, who was burnt at the stake, is said to be from 1790… assuming Gomez is actually about 50ish by now, his father (Wednesday’s grandfather and sister of Calpurnia - hence how it’s *Wednesday’s* great-aunt) must have been *several hundred years old* when he was born or Gomez and Fester have been around for a long time and the whole family is, functionally, immortal. Then there’s Lurch - he’s meant to be the Frankenstein’s monster (or at least based on it). Frankenstein happened in the Middle Ages… so if Lurch has been with the family the whole time, they’ve been around in their current forms and shapes *for nearly 600 years at the time.* Cousin Itt… well… God knows what he is? Perhaps the actual sightings of Bigfoot are him? Then you have Thing (Actually Thing T. Thing. The T. Stands for Thing as well) who is a *literal* disembodied and sentient hand…

[@beatyz2]

rewatching these movies through reactions makes me feel more like a "me" I recognize. I LOVE everything about this movie. I think I wanted to be Wednesday a lot. My idea of ideal marriage looks scarily similar to Gomez and Mortitia's. As far as changing by at-home behavior after seeing it, no change. Maybe I should be more into Halloween.
