Watching THE IRON GIANT (1999) for the FIRST TIME! Movie Reaction and Discussion

[@gonzo6489]

I grew up with this movie, have seen it countless times and that ending always has me in tears; sad tears at the explosion then happy tears when Giant's putting himself back together. Ugh this movie crushes it so hard.

[@CanadianFabe]

The town's name Rockwell most likely come from American artist Norman Rockwell who was famous for his paintings of life in small town America in the 50s.

Rockland, ME is a gorgeous place, as well.

I cry every time I watch this beautiful movie and then comes the part where the giant repeats Hogarth's words and flies off to meet his destiny. beautiful moment very touching. Reminds me of E.T. when he shines his finger over Elliot's head and repeats the words to comfort him in the final farewell.

I think i want "You stay. I go. No following." On my gracestone

[@sorcererCermet]

ok ive been watching a bunch of reactions of iron giant and ive said something different each time. i LOVE the lense that you're watching through, going over more nuanced parts of the actual workings of the movie, pointing out when things are subtle 3D renders and stuff like that. on iron giant itself, i LOVE that christopher mcdonald played kent. didnt know/realize who he was as a kid while watching, but as an adult it makes sense why i hated kent so much. christopher's performance sells it perfectly. "the biggest thing in this town is probably the homecoming queen- oh my GAHT"

[@racafritz]

I really liked that you showed important scenes.

[@fritzkaraldo8452]

This film, The Green Mile and Field Of Dreams makes me cry like a baby.

[@johnhutchison936]

And Big Hero 6.

[@sathvamp1]

It's really hard to find a movie that makes me cry, but these did it: Interstellar, The Land Before Time, My Girl, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind.

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

[@spiderfingers86]

Dean was voiced by Harry Connick, Jr.

I have seen this movie more times than I can count, but I have only just noticed an A113 pixar reference at 14:16 in the background art piece.

[@MacTechG4]

“Rockwell” can be interpreted in three ways… 1; Area 51 in Roswell, New Mexico 2; Norman Rockwell, who painted in the 1950’s art deco style and used a lot of the fall color pallets in the movie 3; it’s an obvious reference to real coastal mid-Maine lobstering towns like Rockport

[@RhetoricalThrill]

I only watched this for the first time a few months ago and I don't think I've cried so much at a movie in a LONG time 💜

"What kind of bomb is this though?" Oh, my sweet, summer Englishman...

[@WanderingRoe]

It’s impossible to watch this without tearing up. >_< The ending got us all way harder than we thought it would. Thanks for sharing this reaction, really enjoyed it! 👏😄

[@bluestrike01]

25:13 He was from origin actually sended from an unkown cause in the galaxy to destroy the earth. But of course and happily failed by memory loss.

[@TangentOmega]

Great reaction. An unusual Cold War film is the 1962 film The Manchurian Candidate. It's (unusual for the time) anti-war and anti-government. The 90s version isn't as good.

[@ivanyoes2761]

Not sure if this will be seen but i just recently noticed this about the movie. When the giant becomes enraged he never actually kills anyone. He targets the weapons and guns first. He just hates weapons because they kill.

[@ethancoolbro18gamer86]

One of my favorite movies.

[@harrydoxsey6036]

Your review is a Sakely how I feel when I watch the own giant i’ve been watching it since I was six and it still makes me cry now at the age of 21 had such a powerful meaning

[@spiderfingers86]

The Iron Giant was played by Vin Diesel

[@majkus]

If you liked the way the ocean waves were done, and liked the way the 2D artists accomplished light and shadow, go _way_ back to Max and Dave Fleischer's "Gulliver's Travels", sort of their answer to "Snow White", but with more limited studio capabilities. There are some beautifully executed scenes and it deserves not to remain obscure.

[@Heiryuu]

The emotional “I go, you stay, no following.” Was forever ruined for me by a 4chan post where the Anon posting messes up the line and says “You go, I stay, no following” And the mental image of Iron Giant chucking Hogarth at the nuke has been making me giggle uncontrollably for years.

[@varlinn7319]

😂

[@aranerem3767]

I remember watching it as a kid

[@danielenglish235]

Fun fact: the man who pitch this movie last he's sister true gun violence and he wanted to raise awareness and the first thing he said to the team is "what if a gun had a soul and it didn't want to be a gun"

[@snicklesnockle7263]

That feel when he could have just used laser eyes on the missile. Or shoot it with his canon.

[@MM-NolascoPH]

19:16 Actually, the original storyboard of that scene (interrogation scene) shows that Hogarth was knocked out twice (the first one originally was when he was running towards the door, he screams "Mom!" and he was knocked out by chloroform and then he wakes up, sitting on the chair, and the second one was the original release after Hogarth gives the location of the Giant to Kent Mansley and then he walks behind Hogarth and fools him saying that it was a bad dream). It was too creepy that the first one was scrapped. This is the original storyboard video of that scene. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJmvmXijhdhgb7s

[@logandance4644]

Have you seen the deleted scenes yet? Especially the one about Iron Giants dream/origin?

[@eprohoda]

Will- how aree you?!enjoyed!splendid , all the best.

[@Wesleech]

Vin Deisel's best film to date.

[@MegaGoaty3895]

Notice The Iron Giant only targets the military equipment.

[@Кыскивмиске]

25:56 yeah, a very military looking child

[@Кыскивмиске]

Btw it also targeted the boy in the very beginning, the first time it saw him at the power station. You can see it in the deleted dream scene.

[@spiderfingers86]

Directed by Brad Bird starring Hogarth Hughes as a boy living during the Cold War era when suddenly a giant robot crashed into earth. Befriending the machine the two form a bond

[@spiderfingers86]

J. Robert Oppenheimer atomic bomb era

[@gokublack4211]

Pretty crazy to know Iron Giant is like Goku, they both hit their heads... And completely forgot.. that they were supposed to dominate and conquer the planet

[@lancourt]

Su Per Man *closes eyes*

[@AndKalashnikov]

Хорошая реакция на классную анимацию👍. Исчезновение рисованной анимации большая утрата. Уникальное время атома, космоса и работы спецслужб, крутая атмосфера)

[@franksinatraiv2006]

Rockwell as in Norman Rockwell, classic Americana. Not related to Roswell

[@atomtension5645]

The ENDING

[@franksinatraiv2006]

I’m not sure mansley is evil, just scared and a coward. Might be evil too but I always got the impression of fear

[@jandypanganiban2284]

i this from netflix

[@STARGUN8687]

Idk why this video was recommended to me just 7 days ago. Might be something wrong with either tags or KZbin.

[@psicogames5509]

Basically Goku

[@corseeis482]

A fantastic movie I just wish they did a continuation I think there's more of the robot out there or at least the people that created him because it looked like he was sent there to conquer Earth originally until he lost his memories

[@riddlr6358]

It was never intended to have a sequel. One and done. :) WHich is one of the reasons this movie is so special and unique. Glad you liked it. :)
