Yeah. Immediately what came to mind is comparing something like this to The Hangover and its somehow worse sequel. I never get to really know the characters in the Hangover, and therefore I absolutely hate them because they have no redeeming qualities. Then the film just proceeds to show you wacky situations over and over and over. It's not funny or interesting. Its just like oh look here's a tiger and here's mike tyson.

Napoleon Dynamite on the other hand, takes you in to the lives and feelings of the characters. There's nuance. Subtlety. Every aspect of the situation is felt. Napoleon Dynamite takes its time and makes love to you. The Hangover tries too hard to get you in the sack, humps your leg for a minute, and its pathetic performance is done.
Growing up that was for real, if u had a mustache you had a steady career buying beer for everyone in your school. Store clerks back in the day didnt think That is an adult with a mustache" they thought "This kid is passible, so I wont get into trouble."
@@gabebond9452 yep. Use to get out of school and my buddy could buy us beer all day long. We would get a 12 pack of Budweiser and a pack of Marlboro reds and take my friends Toyota down into the woods and get messed up and start fires. Fun times until my buddy wrecked and almost killed both of us. Lol
I guess Napoleon's original name was Seth. I don't know where they came up with Napoleon Dynamite, but it's perfect. By far my favorite film of all time; I can't get enough of it.
@@chrisjaybecker4395 Well to be exact Jared Hess went on record and said that he got the name when he was serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of latter Saints and he was talking to this man and he asked him his name and he replied "My name is Napoleon Dynamite." Jared loved the name so much he wrote it down and decided his first film he made would use that name, and the rest is history.
DannyWarlegs It’s one of the greatest, not the greatest. What makes it so great is how simple it is and not being so over the top and relying on swearing every few minutes.
Isn't it funny how this short film helped kick start Jon Heder's acting career. A simple short film for school. It goes to show you never know what's possible.
John Dough yeah it’s exactly because he’s Mexican. Not because they indeed make his character more awkward, but because he’s Mexican. You need learning.
Crack is good. It gives you good videos to watch and keeps you up at night to watch more videos and it also makes you desperate for more crack. I like crack. Crack CRAck! CRACK!!!
Some uncreative dumbass commenting on the algorithm instead of the actual video again. Get over it. It's a fucking algorithm. We get it, it's weird sometimes.
i know! he cherished his friends more than a fanny pack. I guess the lesson here is that after being bullied or having a bad day, you need your friends who can cheer you up. His friend called the bully a loser and asked if his neck is alright and that made Napoleon or Seth feel a bit better. But it made him feel a lot better when he bought the wig for his other friend and gave the kid at a bus a small gift. I guess that if you are tossed with lemons, make lemonade. Or choose doing something good and you'll feel better in spite having a bad day. Being Jared Hess a Mormon, it's clear why he wanted to teach people about good values.
I love that about Napoleon. He's weird, exaggerating and over-confident, but he's also incredibly kind, and it carries over into the feature-length film
The story I’ve heard is that he made this short film when he was a film student, and then he submitted it to a festival. After the screening at the festival a producer approached him and said he loved it, and asked if he had a full-length script to do a full movie. Jared didn’t have a script but said, “yes!” The producer said, “great, send it to me.” Jared went home and wrote the whole script in one sitting to send it to the producer, and that eventually became the movie.
Nah, I know the guy Jeremy Coon who edited this short. Jeremy’s brother owns (or owned) 1-800-Contacts. He approached him after they made this and he footed the bill for a full movie.
just a rumor lol. i feel like it should be obvious since writing an entire script for a feature length film in one sitting is simply not physically humanly possible 😂😂😂
As a kid, me and my little sister loved this movie. When we were done with a movie we always went through the special features and we watched this a couple times, comparing it to the full film, a little disappointed, a little unnerved by the differences but altogether grateful to know how the masterpiece Napoleon Dynamite was conceived.
Brilliant. One of my absolute favorite films of any kind ever. I adore it. It leaves me happy yet melancholy and nostalgic and full of emotion; as does Napoleon Dynamite also. So inspiring to me and my films. Long live Jared Hess.
Wow…I straight up never knew about this until just tonight when my recommendations just slapped this in my face. It’s like watch the a favorite movie from a completely different universe and time period. Amazing.
This is one of my favourite movies of all time. I think Pedro was better portrayed in the later version - nerds are supposed to be more passive than appeared here. This version was a little more slapstick, the later version is cerebral.
It’s sad how he starred in the movie and we never hear from him again. He would have went on to star in many more highly grossing movies guaranteed. Napoleon!! Where are you ??
I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not but his name is Jon Heder and he starred in much more media. His latest piece of work is Funny Thing About Love (2021)
When you think you're just discovering a video you've never heard of, then scroll down in the comments and see that you already thumbs-upped a bunch of comments probably 10 years ago.
The natural instincts for anyone watching this short film is to compare this to the full length feature film. But this is the predecessor and the drawing board for characters and a story that will live on forever. I enjoyed both this and the film. I think Pedro in the movie had a more mellow personality and a bigger impact on the movie - something that I liked even better than the Pedro+Gilbert combo here. Also, the brother Kip, the uncle Rico and Grandma, and Napoleon's love interest (forget that girl's name), Rex Kwondo, Lafawnduh were all great additions to an already great story. Thanks for posting this.
Hell of a short film. There's no wonder why it made it to theatre. So good to be reminded again of this memory thank you to who it may concern. I seen the film a few times. One time was at a camp on the projector screen. The place was old so it added to the nostalgia of the film. The next morning there was a girl taped to the tree outside the mess hall. Added even more to the experience. That whole year was bomb.
If you want to see another "film school movie", check out "You're a Big Boy Now." It is feature length and was Francis Ford Coppola's first movie as a university project. And if you like music from John Sebastian and The Lovin' Spoonful, you'll appreciate their music in this.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen this. I originally watched in on a dvd copy of Napoleon Dynamite and I never understood why it was there. But it’s good to get context as to why it exists.
Everything up to 3:30 was classic Napoleon Dynamite - it feels like a Special Short from the time the movie released. The rest feels like what it is; a short movie made by someone who's in film school. Such a treat to see the inspiration behind the movie.
