I love the general tone of the first film, it's a lot less glossy and feels like Cruise is playing a different action hero to the type he's typically known for.
Internet in 1996 is like futuristic for 90% of people around the world . If you ask someone " what is internet" in 1996 they can't answer you. 26 years later internet is like a part of human body
Except for news, there was not much in the web in 1996. No videos of any kind (maybe a few JPEGS), no information, basic pages, no e-commerce at all, Yahoo was the search engine and it was difficult to find something there.
It was such a nice contrast to Goldeneye, which was filled with machine gun shootouts and constant action. Too bad they immediately turned the IP into an over-the-top action franchise.
In 1996, the Internet was in its infancy and not even that. I was finishing university back then and it had only been introduced in 1995 to our library workstations. Internet sites were absolutely terrible. People have no idea ! Plus, this scene is supposedly based in Prague. Very few residential homes were connected in mainland Europe (let alone in the UK) to the WWW so totally unrealistic, with hindsight. No Internet cafes. Laptops for a minority. The reality for us Generation X. A great movie though when it was released.

To connect to internet you needed to use telephone connection, very expensive and very slow!
I watched this scene last night after buying the MI bundle movies from iTunes. Is he basically guessing all this on the spot? He thinks that by messaging Max@Job 3:14 he's going to randomly find Max SOMEWHERE on random internet forums lol?
Old school spy stuff. Hes not just messaging one message board, he's messaging EVERY message board that's related to Job 3:14, hoping that one of his messages connects to the right person. That's why later in the scene he looks so tired, he's been at it for hours.
Ahhh Usenet, a magical place. Back then, a place for thoughtful discussions and real world issues. Now, a pirates wet dream... God bless binary newsgroups :P
Ethan is reaching out to Max in every language because he's trying to cast his net as wide as possible. We see him reach out to Max in English and German, but it can be assumed that he sent far more emails than those two.
It took me a while to figure out. Basically he's finding every single bible discussion group on the internet, posting pretending like he's part of the job deal, hoping that max would see his message thinking he's trying to reach her. One of the lines he cast out caught a fish
@@danielchae1452 actually 1995 , this movie released in theater in May 1996 that mean start fliming process in 95 including this scene This scene is so ahead of it time when whole world don't get what internet is (I mean regular people)

The fact that searching "job" returned zero results

Back when the internet was magic and could do anything.
And TC looked good
@@Rogge73 Still does!!
yea🤔and also back when i was just "25"🤨i PROMISEu that shits over🤣😆😇
This movie start fliming in early 1995 including this scene
This scene is ahead of that time because people don't even know what is internet
@@Rogge73 Back before the plastic surgery left him with a tooth in the middle of his mouth.
Genius. In the 90s Central Intelligence isn't focused on monitoring Bible discussion groups.
It is now.
@@johnmartin650 True statement.
😀😁😀😁
Control C and Control V. End of scene.
Typing sound is very peaceful 😁

I can tell you where on my body the internet is used for
Too bad it sucks. Yeah pr0n and streaming videos, but they homogenized it and took away the magic.
And what I wonder: In 1996 the internet existed already and I used it regularly. I wonder why it's depicted in such a weird way.

back before he was a certified stunt badass actor. this was the start of it
now we reach Job on the Come Follow Me lesson. Job 3 vs 14, With kings and counsellors of the earth, Which built desolate places for themselves.
Like Twitter…
I feel like Tom was wearing a wig in this movie
The title of this one is absolute gold.
with God all things possible
Mission Impossible is a biblic history
Great. God bless. Oxford.
He's in his 30s here and looking so fresh
Their idea of the internet seems laughable now that I watch 20 plus years later
just look at how slow that animation was for sending an email lmfaooo
that should would not fly anymore
Fact: one gunshot is fired in this entire film, and that's when the mega, insane, ridiculous hot Frenchie chick gets popped.
No Jim shoots himself in the opening sequence in Prague
It was such a nice contrast to Goldeneye, which was filled with machine gun shootouts and constant action. Too bad they immediately turned the IP into an over-the-top action franchise.
@@Robbstark2024 Those were blanks.
Unfortunately in MI2 they threw out any sort of intelligence and subtlety. There’s just constant machine guns being fired for no reason.
Nice move, using the bible reference. Two-pronged - [a] to Max, indicating that the NOC list wasn't, and [b] double-double-cross with Phelps.
Hunt types 'palaces now lying in ruins', when in fact the passage from the Bible he quotes reads 'places'. Scruffy work from Tom.
I guess he mispelled that word due to his physical condition. He was EXTREMELY tired
The writer probably thought it would sound more elegant.
I was being facetious :)
@@neeklaus This will never be forgotten.
Great movie

Their super hacker set it up so he could be tapped into the government's internet or something.

Wow . amazing movie

I saw it in theaters when I was in 6th grade
When people spread broken glass around a door to hear intruders, do they not realize that they could walk around or on open areas on the broken glass?
It was very dark. He removed the bulb. You could not see well the floor.
Tom.Use copy and paste
The only good mission impossible, the rest were mildly entertaining bc of all the gadgets they came up with
I rly dug the John woo one
You're really in the minority on thinking the rest aren't good, pal
@@JoeChillton Look at you getting worked up.
Worst. They should never have re-written Jim Phelps of all characters in the M:I franchise as a traitor.
im not angry boob @@JDoe-gf5oz
pre-google
A better time.
why did he break the lamp?
0:36 He's using the glass as an improvised alarm system to listen for anybody stepping on the broken glass outside the door.
@@LethalShot3190 thank you
😎😎😎😎😎😎
This was the only Mission Impossible movie I liked, the others were kinda like all the Fast and Furious sequels, if that makes any sense.
Like all the Fast and Furious sequels? Most people would say that means "better".
Big budget over the top. Entertaining, but not necessarily always better
searched job and no results wtf
Its on Come Follow Me Lession.
Ethan Hunt is Job
Copy & paste would have saved Ethan some time back then 😂
🎞
The only thing in the movie that did not really age well
It aged like wine. What are you talking about?
Lol I was like you idiot. It's job 3:14 from the bible froooom the bible. Finally lol

It doesn't reflect today's realities like black lives matter, or
