@@skipringelli2423 I haven't seen a movie/TV reaction channel that pauses... but I have seen multiple music reaction channels that use that method, so I can imagine what you mean. It's... rough, and makes the YT reactions way longer than they need to be.
I agree. I've seen other reations to first-time movies and I get back to this ones. It's also the type of reaction. I've seen others just trashing for trashing instead of trying to understand the story and enjoy the plot. Its a 20m video and is long enought to me. Pausing a video to explain what you are feeling becames monotonous.
This movie is just pure joyful lunacy. I was a kid when I first saw it, and I loved it and had all the toys. It was outrageously popular at my school. Whenever I see people react to it today, they always seem like they have no idea what to do with it, because it sort of defies genre and isn't particularly interested in traditional narrative. The movie is more interested in providing a fun ride, and as long as you don't take it too seriously, Beetlejuice definitely delivers.
This movie is simply Tim Burton's imagination and sense of humor run amok, in a time before photorealistic CGI. Quirky animation, puppets, models, color, light, shadow and abundant personality.
Michael Keaton ad libbed most of the beetlejuice dialogue , hes only 17 min on screen in a 1 h 30 min movie ... more than Jaws and Alien combined . Special effect were made to look quirky , they could have done better job , but Burton decided that it would be better to make it look cheap . Harry Belafonte’ “Day-O,”was the final song played at the memorial for actor Glenn Shadix (Otho), he died in 2010 , his first main cast movie role was in Beetlejuice .
When you say it's "simply Tim Burton's imagination and sense of humor", please understand that he didn't create these characters or story. Michael McDowell and Warren Skaaren are responsible. read some McDowell books, it will all come together.
They made a cartoon in the 90s, which I grew up watching before I even knew about the movie. It's very different but still crazy. Lydia and Beetlejuice are actually friends and Barbra and Adams aren't in it. Fun fact: Alyson Court voiced Lydia in the show. She also did the voice for Jubilee from the X-Men cartoon and Claire Redfield from most of the Resident Evil games.
@@logann7942 I think she was trying to break the social tension. In the scene, Beryl's sniping at Otho for being gay, and Otho's giving it right back. Delia, meanwhile, really wants this dinner to go well, for her own selfish reasons, of course.
Love this movie, Michael Keaton was brilliant as Betelguese, and later as Batman. Beetlejuice + Batman + Batman Returns = Michael Keaton and Tim Burton perfection.
Recently here in youtube I saw an interview with the actor relating a true story about meeting a guy that had a big Bittlejuice tatoo that he complemented. The guy just walk away not understanding he was speaking with the actor who play the role in the movie.
“Ah. Well... I attended Juilliard... I'm a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I've seen the EXORCIST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT... NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU'RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY... NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? You think I'm qualified?”
Fun Fact: Keaton's delivery of that line, led to him getting cast as Bruce Wayne/Batman, in the 1989 film "Batman" which was also directed by Tim Burton.
Yup, I am only one who is going to mention the genius of film composer Danny Elfman. Film music, the most underappreciated and hardest music to write. Film composers deserve so much credit.
As a big Oingo Boingo fan, I'll always think of Danny Elfman primarily in that context, even though his career as a film composer has now been longer (and unquestionably a lot more profitable) than his time as leader/lead singer of Oingo Boingo.
Agreed, he's got so many classic scores under his belt, and many of them take Burton's movies to the next level. Batman '89 is still my favorite, Sleepy Hollow is great too. He also did the music for the film Midnight Run in 1988 with Robert DeNiro and it sounds like nothing he ever did, not even Oingo Boingo.
I love how one topic starts off such a chain reaction. :) I have been listening to film music for over 32 years. I have over, at this point, 5,000 film scores on compact disc, over 100 on cassette and over 50 on vinyl. I have written various film score reviews for FSMO(Film Score Monthly Online), so it's so great that all these great people leave fantastic comments.
Yes, film composers don't get enough credit, but I'd argue that video game composers get even less credit, and do just as hard - often harder - of a job. In modern games, soundtracks are meant to evolve along with the gameplay, so the music is design with themes in a more modular form that can be morphed depending on the gameplay. The original composers for the old NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) did some mind-blowing work, especially given the limitations of the hardware (try writing a symphonic piece while only having use of three "instruments"/sound channels, which can only play sine, square, or sawtooth waveforms!). On top of that, they were often the engineers responsible for the entire sound FX, *AND* implementation into the game - something an audio engineer would do today. Another thing is that games can easily have 30-90 hours of gameplay - that requires a TON more music than a movie does. Many games have multi-disc soundtracks of 60-70 tracks. Here's a favorite from Final Fantasy IV: ruclips.net/video/FOg0LCHQ9kY/видео.html&ab_channel=MalcolmRobinsonMusic The whole soundtrack is incredible. This version was made from orchestra samples to give it better justice. There are versions performed live via orchestra, but the recordings tend to be mediocre, and they tend to change the arrangements too much (as well as cutting out the bass, which drives a lot of the songs). They tympani rolls, the slight dissonance, still send chills down my spine. On the "Boss Battle Theme": the ostinato on the bassline...! Just absolutely epic. Games such as Metroid, Zelda, Strider, Destiny of an Emperor all had song of the best soundtracks I've ever heard, and sadly, most people never hear them because they are "just" part of a game.
The main thing is that the movie makes you smile, and laugh. And no matter how crazy everything gets, you always feel sympathy for the married couple and the Wynona Ryder character.
The actress that play Juno, Sylvia Sidney, started acting in silent films in 1926 (according to IMDB), her final credit was in Fantasy Island in 1999 - a career spanning 73 years.
This movie is one of my all-time favorites. I was sick for a whole month back in '89 and, at my request, my wife rented the VHS of this movie every 3 days, and I watched it probably 50 or more times. It got me through that illness, and I have loved this movie ever since.
Tim Burton is one of really creative story makers. There is a reason he has done multiple films with Johnny Depp, one of the best character actors ever.
This movie, is the kind to be watch and enjoy and have a good laugh, there is no need to try to make sense out of it. Every time that I hear that song "shake senora" or "the banana boat song" it always remind me of that movie
I love when Michael Keaton breaks character and becomes himself for a second before diving right back into the movie.. "Well, I attended Julliard..." -- He did !
The little demon minister is voiced by Jack Angel, who passed away just a few days ago. He had a distinguished decades-long voiceover career, and his voice is instantly recognizable to anyone who grew up in the 80’s. RIP Mr. Angel
Yea, and it's so weird, but people were NOT happy about Michael Keaton, a comedic actor, being cast in a serious Batman movie. While it wasn't as widespread is today with the full internet, there were still message boards back then and.... yeah.many fans were enraged. Today? Him and Jack Nicholson are to me the best portrayals of Batman and The Joker on film.
Just FYI to everyone, the guy who came to see the ghosts with Otho was Dick Cavett, one of the all-time great talk show hosts. Not really material for reaction videos, but he interviewed some of the most important people of the 20th century and the guy has a rapier wit. Definitely check out his work if you're interested in understanding what that time was like.
Absolutely. Also Beetlejuice does his Johnny Carson impersonation to help the maitlands with the golf swing. Even his gestures there are Johnny Carson.
Oh my God I can't believe I never realized that I fucking love him. I only discovered him like a year ago. I'm 32 and I was watching a lot of Janis Joplin documentaries and I watched her on his show and he's fucking amazing. And I never watched Beetlejuice after watching those documentaries so I never put two and two together. That's fantastic.
There was actually a Saturday morning cartoon show where Beetlegeuce and Lydia were best friends and hung out in the ghost zone with a tap-dancing spider and a French skeleton. I still remember the chant she used to transfer over. "Though I know I should be wary/ Still I venture someplace scary/ Ghosty hauntings I turn loose/ Beetlegeuce/ Beetlegeuce/ Beetlegeuce! *Cue magical girl transformation.
"THIS IS SO STUPID!!!" Lol that's probably the best assessment of this entire movie, and I mean that as a compliment to the movie. It's stupid in a way that's genius and it revels in it. I love that.
I would definitely agree that Beetlejuice is one of those films that takes more than 1 viewing to be appreciated. I saw it when it first came out on VHS and didn't understand it. In fact, I didn't start understanding it until my sister's best friend started insisting that we watch it every time my sister had a sleepover. To that effect, multiple viewings definitely helped me to appreciate the film better.
My Lil sister was around 5 when she first saw this movie....and she absolutely loved it. It's still one of her favorite movies all these years later. Which made me understand why they actually made a Saturday morning cartoon based on this movie
I know I'm a little late here, but the actor that played Lydia's dad is in another great movie called the Devil's Advocate. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it! Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino
This was one of the first movies I ever saw as a child back in the 80s. Between Lydia and Morticia from The Addams Family, I guess it's not surprising that I had a thing for goths when I was younger!
You may not have understood everything or thought it silly, but you certainly do have a big smile on your face most of the time. That's the real success of this movie.
One of Tim Burton’s very best movies imo, I had a huge crush on Lydia when I was in high school and even went on to marry a girl who is kind of a goth, she’s Indian and people found it very unusual and she would say Winona’s line of being strange and unusual and that just made me love her more, Michael Keaton’s performance as BeetleJuice is so iconic and cool that it was his experience working with Tim on this that he trusted him enough to be Batman the next year and of course he became THE Batman for an entire generation, thankfully a sequel has never been made and I hope it never is
I can recite this movie line by line. When my brother was like 7 years old he would play this movie back to back. One of my favorite movies to watch during halloween
Loved this film when I saw it in the theater. I nearly peed my pants during the dancing scene. I think I saw it 5 or 6 times. Fun fact, in the '80s they actually made a Saturday morning cartoon series out of this film.
I love seeing Cassie do a movie that she isn't terrified of for a change. A Joke Explained (that NO ONE ever seems to get): When Barbara is holding a tiny Beetlejuice, and she says, "You leave her alone, you..." and Beetlejuice sprouts thorns and cuts her fingers...that is a visual reference to the word "prick." As in, "You leave her alone...you prick."
I feel like this movie is really easy for kids to understand and not fear. I remember watching it as a kid on t.v and loving it every year it came on! Maybe the reason you didn't enjoy it as much as us is because you were expecting something more grounded and horror like.
I remember watching this movie constantly as a lil kid and being Beatlejuice for Halloween and zero houses I trick or treated at knowing who he was lol - it wasn't until late sunset that a firetruck rolled by and were first to recognize, yelling out "Beatlejuice!" and cheering. I also watched the animated series a lot, which was alright - everyone should watch the intro at least one as it's a wonderful rollercoaster ride with amazingly catchy theme
Beetlejuice is probably my favorite movie of all time, because it's an imaginative romp and a little bit of everything. It's so fun with a great soundtrack. I saw it first as a kid, I don't know how I'd view it if I first saw it as an adult. There's a lot that isn't explained, but the whole world is so wild I don't feel like I need it to- like how the weirdest of things make sense in a dream, just by default of it being a dream.
It's Showtime! I adore this movie, especially Lydia's relationship with the Maitlands. They act as a surrogate family for each other, and Adam and Barbara understand Lydia better than Charles and Delia do.
Beetlejuice is such a FUN, hysterical movie! Loved Geena and Winona in this film! I remember when this came out and I’ve loved it all these years. One of Tim Burton’s best films! ❤️
I love this movie. I was 17 when it came out and saw it four times at the theater. I was captivated from start to finish. This was also the first movie I saw Winona Ryder in and I had a bit of a crush on her after seeing this movie; I loved her character's personality and how she looked and she was one of the reasons I saw this four times when it came out. And Michael Keaton's performance was awesome; he was at the top of his game in this one. My favorite part is at the end with Lydia dancing in midair to "Shake, Shake, Senora."
"She already sold the house?" Sees Jane offering her services AGAIN: "You sold them out, Jane!" "She's [Lydia] like the daughter they never had". I've seen this movie hundreds of times and I never made that connection for why they bond with Lydia. You have such great insight, as always!
THAT'S RIGHT!! That was a game we used to play on the seesaws when I was little. You'd plant yourself down, and leave your buddy stranded up high and they'd say: "Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice let me down!" "What will you give me if I let you down?" And after they said something good, you'd shift your weight so their end of the seesaw would come down. Or get off your side entirety and make their side come CRASHING down. That's just how boys play, don't know what to tell you. 😁 Wow, I haven't thought about that in thirty years.
This is the film that put Burton on the map. If you watch Nightmare B4 Christmas, Alice in Wonderland, any of his films you will see the same odd lives, strange shadows, sick sense of humor. He loves his actors and uses them many times but always appropriately. Tim Burton is a Modern Master of film.
A subtle detail in the movie is Beetlejuice can't say his name but he can show the written word Betelgeuse which is the name of a star that is pronounced the same. It's established that Adam mispronounces words like when he reads deceased as diseased. Barbara knows how to pronounce Betelgeuse correctly even when Adam calls him Beetlegise but she doesn't correct him. Instead you only hear his name correctly for the first time when she decides to summon him. 14:35
Michael Keaton was in several comedies prior to this movie, so Beetlejuice allowed him to move up to the top of his form. Night Shift and Mr. Mom were great 80's movies with Keaton playing comedic roles prior to Beetlejuice.
It's best not to try to analyze screw-ball, wacky, off-the-cuff comedies. That defeats the whole point. You're supposed to just sit back and enjoy the goofiness.
Yeah I’ve noticed so many young uns get so offended on some other reaction channels like scary movie ppl are getting offended and airplane even wtf lol
I haven't seen anyone mention yet, but they took this movie as inspiration and made a damn kids cartoon based on Beetlejuice. I watched this as a kid growing up. In fact I knew the cartoon long before I knew the movie. Weird times growing up.
Michael Keaton is such an underrated actor. He can play anything. You have to see him in “The Founder”… it is a story about Ray Kroc (Founder of McDonald’s). He is unbelievable!
This movie was so popular that a year or two later an animated TV series based on this movie was made, that lasted for a couple of seasons, that included a French speaking skeleton, a tap dancing spider, and a large monster across the street in a cowboy hat, and of course lidia....
Keaton is just 1 of a kind! The best Batman, he totally add-libbed this movie, and his movie with Henry Winkler called, nightshift, is a riot! And he did one of the most touching movies I've ever seen with Nicole Kidman, about a man dying of cancer.
They are all humans in the waiting rooms. They all look weird because of the way they died. They one woman was a magicians assist who was sawed in half. The smoker was burned, probably fell asleep smoking. The one guy was an explorer who head was shrunk by island natives.
My theory was the smoker was smoking next to a gas pump that's why he's an ashy skeleton instead of a 3rd degree burn victim explosions are hot and powerful
Yes, Mike Keaton was Batman decades ago. He’s going to reprise his role as Batman in The Flash movie next year. Also, you should react to Keaton’s Batman movies.
I love the look and Jack's Joker in that movie. To me it seemed to walk a fine line. Still people complain about Batman blowing things up, you know he has to have a body count if you think about it, when he isn't supposed to kill anyone. I guess you could say they were all accidents.
I love, love, love BEETLEJUICE. BEETLEJUICE. BEETLEJUICE. This movie is such a feast for the eyes. The imagination of Tim Burton is unparalleled. Every facet of it from the set design to costumes to music just embraces the insanity and revels in it. Truly, I can't say enough amazing things about BEETLEJUICE.
I love how Beetlejuice hits Otho with the 70s leisure suit. Considering his age in the movie, he wore those back in the day. But he will never admit it.
It’s definitely one you gotta watch a few times to really appreciate it. But for me it’s all about nostalgia. I saw this in theaters at 5 years old. Way too young. I cried when she tore her face off. But now, I love it.
Love this movie so much! I was a kid when it came out so my nostalgia for this is super high. Tim Burton is unique and I think if you see some more of his movies you’ll get more of an appreciation of his style. Also, Michael Keaton created the look of Beetlejuice and basically adlibbed his entire thing. He’s really iconic

Absolutely. Also Beetlejuice does his Johnny Carson impersonation to help the maitlands with the golf swing. Even his gestures there are Johnny Carson.
@@GD-tt6hl In addition, the husband at the end is singer Robert Goulet!
I'm old enough to remember when he interviewed John Lennon and Forrest Gump!
When you watch some of his interviews you see exactly how it should be done, especially compared with the shallow frivolity of todays talk show hosts.
Oh my God I can't believe I never realized that I fucking love him. I only discovered him like a year ago. I'm 32 and I was watching a lot of Janis Joplin documentaries and I watched her on his show and he's fucking amazing. And I never watched Beetlejuice after watching those documentaries so I never put two and two together. That's fantastic.
There was actually a Saturday morning cartoon show where Beetlegeuce and Lydia were best friends and hung out in the ghost zone with a tap-dancing spider and a French skeleton. I still remember the chant she used to transfer over.
"Though I know I should be wary/
Still I venture someplace scary/
Ghosty hauntings I turn loose/
Beetlegeuce/
Beetlegeuce/
Beetlegeuce!
*Cue magical girl transformation.
It did exactly what was intended. Makes you happy and laugh like a fool.
"THIS IS SO STUPID!!!" Lol that's probably the best assessment of this entire movie, and I mean that as a compliment to the movie. It's stupid in a way that's genius and it revels in it. I love that.
I remember as a kid not believing that Keaton played both Batman and Beetlejuice. Gave me my first appreciation for actors.
I remember people thinking he should have played The Joker because of his Beetlejuice role.
I can rewatch this over and over solely for Winona. Watching this as a kid, I thought she was the coolest girl in the world
“You’ve got to say my name three times. “
“What’s your name?”
“I can’t tell you…”
Cracks me up every time.
"So he's... a... ghost too?"
He's not just A ghost... He's the ghost with the most, babe!
Tim burton is literally one of the most brilliant men of our time. His imagination is unmatched and his style is so weird and beautiful.
I would definitely agree that Beetlejuice is one of those films that takes more than 1 viewing to be appreciated. I saw it when it first came out on VHS and didn't understand it. In fact, I didn't start understanding it until my sister's best friend started insisting that we watch it every time my sister had a sleepover. To that effect, multiple viewings definitely helped me to appreciate the film better.
My Lil sister was around 5 when she first saw this movie....and she absolutely loved it. It's still one of her favorite movies all these years later. Which made me understand why they actually made a Saturday morning cartoon based on this movie
The cast had a blast making this movie
My brother and I watched this movie so many times as kids we had the dialog memorized
I know I'm a little late here, but the actor that played Lydia's dad is in another great movie called the Devil's Advocate. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it! Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino
This was one of the first movies I ever saw as a child back in the 80s. Between Lydia and Morticia from The Addams Family, I guess it's not surprising that I had a thing for goths when I was younger!
You may not have understood everything or thought it silly, but you certainly do have a big smile on your face most of the time. That's the real success of this movie.
One of Tim Burton’s very best movies imo, I had a huge crush on Lydia when I was in high school and even went on to marry a girl who is kind of a goth, she’s Indian and people found it very unusual and she would say Winona’s line of being strange and unusual and that just made me love her more, Michael Keaton’s performance as BeetleJuice is so iconic and cool that it was his experience working with Tim on this that he trusted him enough to be Batman the next year and of course he became THE Batman for an entire generation, thankfully a sequel has never been made and I hope it never is
Cassie at the end, "That's...that's...." THAT'S CREATIVITY and we movies would be a trillion times better these days if we had more of it ;)
You're life is better after having seen this movie. I watched it in the theater & it blew my mind. I'd never seen anything like it.
Beetlejuice was also a cartoon for a few seasons after the movie in which Lydia & Beetlejuice were best buds.
I can recite this movie line by line. When my brother was like 7 years old he would play this movie back to back. One of my favorite movies to watch during halloween
Loved this film when I saw it in the theater. I nearly peed my pants during the dancing scene. I think I saw it 5 or 6 times. Fun fact, in the '80s they actually made a Saturday morning cartoon series out of this film.
I love seeing Cassie do a movie that she isn't terrified of for a change.
A Joke Explained (that NO ONE ever seems to get): When Barbara is holding a tiny Beetlejuice, and she says, "You leave her alone, you..." and Beetlejuice sprouts thorns and cuts her fingers...that is a visual reference to the word "prick."
As in, "You leave her alone...you prick."
Also, in the same scene and most of his other scenes, he's "horny."
Cassie needed a lighthearted break from the proper horror of An American Werewolf in London & her next reaction, the original version of Halloween.
so he was a 'little prick'
I feel like this movie is really easy for kids to understand and not fear. I remember watching it as a kid on t.v and loving it every year it came on! Maybe the reason you didn't enjoy it as much as us is because you were expecting something more grounded and horror like.
Fun fact: Tim Burton actually worked as a Disney animator. They had creative differences when he tried to get them to make Nightmare Before Christmas.
Ummm....can we say, Dragon's Lair 3? Or an animated series? 😳
But Disney owns that.
"I'M NOT YOUR COACH. HE, SURVIVED"
I remember watching this movie constantly as a lil kid and being Beatlejuice for Halloween and zero houses I trick or treated at knowing who he was lol - it wasn't until late sunset that a firetruck rolled by and were first to recognize, yelling out "Beatlejuice!" and cheering.
I also watched the animated series a lot, which was alright - everyone should watch the intro at least one as it's a wonderful rollercoaster ride with amazingly catchy theme
Beetlejuice is probably my favorite movie of all time, because it's an imaginative romp and a little bit of everything. It's so fun with a great soundtrack. I saw it first as a kid, I don't know how I'd view it if I first saw it as an adult. There's a lot that isn't explained, but the whole world is so wild I don't feel like I need it to- like how the weirdest of things make sense in a dream, just by default of it being a dream.
It's Showtime! I adore this movie, especially Lydia's relationship with the Maitlands. They act as a surrogate family for each other, and Adam and Barbara understand Lydia better than Charles and Delia do.
I love your naive innocence.............. It makes your reactions to what your watching so much more real............
Michael Keaton improvised most of his lines. This is one of my favorite movies, and my 13 year old daughter loves this too.
Beetlejuice is such a FUN, hysterical movie! Loved Geena and Winona in this film! I remember when this came out and I’ve loved it all these years. One of Tim Burton’s best films! ❤️
this is still one of my fave comedy films
keaton was incredible in this movie (he was the 1st batman and still probably the best batman)
This was my favorite movie as a kid, my mom said I would stop crying when this movie was ever on. Tim Burton is amazing and no one else like him.
I love this movie. I was 17 when it came out and saw it four times at the theater. I was captivated from start to finish. This was also the first movie I saw Winona Ryder in and I had a bit of a crush on her after seeing this movie; I loved her character's personality and how she looked and she was one of the reasons I saw this four times when it came out. And Michael Keaton's performance was awesome; he was at the top of his game in this one. My favorite part is at the end with Lydia dancing in midair to "Shake, Shake, Senora."
This was, and still is, a practical effects masterpiece.
13:45 - *"...you can't scare her, she's sleeping with Prince Valium..."*
Soooooo...that brings up an interesting subject...SPACEBALLS!!!
Da Flamethrowah!
She'll probably faint from laughter watching it and barely be able to speak one word
@@saagisharon8595 COMB THE DESERT!!!
*"...we ain't found SHIT!!!"*
It’s burned in my brain, Dark helmet, ludicrous speed, brakes😂😂😂😂😂. Never gets old
@@jobrimar8291 When ur sittin in a bubble and u haven't got a caaaaaare...
Michael Keaton's first starring role in movies was "Night Shift", where he co-starred with Henry "The Fonz" Winkler! DEFINITELY worth the watch!
"She already sold the house?"
Sees Jane offering her services AGAIN: "You sold them out, Jane!"
"She's [Lydia] like the daughter they never had". I've seen this movie hundreds of times and I never made that connection for why they bond with Lydia. You have such great insight, as always!
I thought the same thing when I heard that. Never made that connection either.
I don't know how you could not.
“This is absurd.” Nailed it!
Beetlejiuce is an awesome classic from the '80s!
THAT'S RIGHT!! That was a game we used to play on the seesaws when I was little.
You'd plant yourself down, and leave your buddy stranded up high and they'd say:
"Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice let me down!"
"What will you give me if I let you down?"
And after they said something good, you'd shift your weight so their end of the seesaw would come down.
Or get off your side entirety and make their side come CRASHING down.
That's just how boys play, don't know what to tell you. 😁
Wow, I haven't thought about that in thirty years.
This is the film that put Burton on the map. If you watch Nightmare B4 Christmas, Alice in Wonderland, any of his films you will see the same odd lives, strange shadows, sick sense of humor. He loves his actors and uses them many times but always appropriately. Tim Burton is a Modern Master of film.
A subtle detail in the movie is Beetlejuice can't say his name but he can show the written word Betelgeuse which is the name of a star that is pronounced the same. It's established that Adam mispronounces words like when he reads deceased as diseased. Barbara knows how to pronounce Betelgeuse correctly even when Adam calls him Beetlegise but she doesn't correct him. Instead you only hear his name correctly for the first time when she decides to summon him. 14:35
I love this movie. It's a classic. All the cast played their parts perfect. I think it's a must see
So rare to have such a conceptually unique and fun movie. I've always loved it, top ten.
I love Beetlejuice! Keaton killed this role.
Michael Keaton was in several comedies prior to this movie, so Beetlejuice allowed him to move up to the top of his form. Night Shift and Mr. Mom were great 80's movies with Keaton playing comedic roles prior to Beetlejuice.
It's best not to try to analyze screw-ball, wacky, off-the-cuff comedies. That defeats the whole point. You're supposed to just sit back and enjoy the goofiness.
This is exactly what I said... only I was grumpier and more long-winded.
Yeah I’ve noticed so many young uns get so offended on some other reaction channels like scary movie ppl are getting offended and airplane even wtf lol
I haven't seen anyone mention yet, but they took this movie as inspiration and made a damn kids cartoon based on Beetlejuice. I watched this as a kid growing up. In fact I knew the cartoon long before I knew the movie. Weird times growing up.
I LOVED this movie so much as a kid. The sandworms legitimately scared me as a kid also. Then they made a cartoon on this and it was fantastic also!
There's a meta level to a lot of these brilliant satirical films, like how this one comments on bureaucracy, & modern art, & other societal silliness.
Michael Keaton is such an underrated actor. He can play anything. You have to see him in “The Founder”… it is a story about Ray Kroc (Founder of McDonald’s). He is unbelievable!
Cassie is my spirit animal.
Michael Keaton's signature role, he is brilliant in this.
This movie was so popular that a year or two later an animated TV series based on this movie was made, that lasted for a couple of seasons, that included a French speaking skeleton, a tap dancing spider, and a large monster across the street in a cowboy hat, and of course lidia....
Michael Keaton was great in this. He’s also the best Batman. Cheers!
*Kevin Conroy has entered the chat*
Christian Bale has entered the chat. & he just cussed out the whole production crew.
@@RonnieG lol you're kidding right? Bales Batman is Razzie worthy.
Keaton is just 1 of a kind! The best Batman, he totally add-libbed this movie, and his movie with Henry Winkler called, nightshift, is a riot! And he did one of the most touching movies I've ever seen with Nicole Kidman, about a man dying of cancer.
This level of originality is lost in today’s film industry.
@Zombie yeah that's pretty much it.
Exactly
I feel movie makers today are afraid to do a movie that’s too ‘weird’
@@rasmuspedersen3563 takes a lot of cues from Wait Until Dark which came out in 1967. Hush and The Descent are also similar.
This level of originality didn't exist in the rest of the film industry at the time this was filmed.
Think of the movie like this: Tim Burton makes bedtime stories for adults.
The part when he draws the door is pure movie magic.
They are all humans in the waiting rooms. They all look weird because of the way they died. They one woman was a magicians assist who was sawed in half. The smoker was burned, probably fell asleep smoking. The one guy was an explorer who head was shrunk by island natives.
And the "workers" were suicides. In the "neitherworld", if your death was a suicide, you became a civil servant.
My theory was the smoker was smoking next to a gas pump that's why he's an ashy skeleton instead of a 3rd degree burn victim explosions are hot and powerful
Yyyyeeeessssss Beetlejuice!!!! Get ready for some vintage Keaton genius!
Yes, Mike Keaton was Batman decades ago. He’s going to reprise his role as Batman in The Flash movie next year. Also, you should react to Keaton’s Batman movies.
Ezra Miller choked out a woman
I love the look and Jack's Joker in that movie. To me it seemed to walk a fine line. Still people complain about Batman blowing things up, you know he has to have a body count if you think about it, when he isn't supposed to kill anyone. I guess you could say they were all accidents.
Best Batman
Birdman
Don't forget about "Mr Mom"
Sky blue leisure suit on Otho and his girly scream--funniest moment in the movie
"They're okay right?"
Me: Not exactly.
In real life they could have realistically died. Upside down in a car underwater would kill most people. 💀
This movie was NOT stupid. It had breathtaking imagination, and magnificent execution. 🙂
I love, love, love BEETLEJUICE. BEETLEJUICE. BEETLEJUICE. This movie is such a feast for the eyes. The imagination of Tim Burton is unparalleled. Every facet of it from the set design to costumes to music just embraces the insanity and revels in it. Truly, I can't say enough amazing things about BEETLEJUICE.
Ah, back in the day when they would casually drop a F' bomb in a PG movie
Now, only 1 is allowed in a PG-13, and even then it mustn't be immediately preceded by mother.
I rewatched this movie for the first time in like 15 years a few years ago, and I was so thrown back by that. I was like "did he just say fuck?" Lol
I love how Beetlejuice hits Otho with the 70s leisure suit. Considering his age in the movie, he wore those back in the day. But he will never admit it.
It’s definitely one you gotta watch a few times to really appreciate it. But for me it’s all about nostalgia. I saw this in theaters at 5 years old. Way too young. I cried when she tore her face off. But now, I love it.
The movie was followed by a cartoon series that continued the story.
13:32 "I myself am... strange and unusual."
Hard cut to the security footage of Winona's shoplifting spree, 13 years later.
Love this movie so much! I was a kid when it came out so my nostalgia for this is super high. Tim Burton is unique and I think if you see some more of his movies you’ll get more of an appreciation of his style. Also, Michael Keaton created the look of Beetlejuice and basically adlibbed his entire thing. He’s really iconic
