I too believe Child's is the thing, mainly for a few more factors. How it happened was quite simple. Before the others went out to test Blair we see Childs on guard but his head nodding off, almost like he's falling asleep. This is logical because at this point they are going maybe close to two days without proper rest. So when the others went out to the shack, Child fell asleep. We we see the inside again we get a shot of the basement door, hinting that is where Blair was. Now Blair thing could have came up and snuck up on Childs. Now look at the 3:19 part in the video, you can see a room to the right. And looking at 3:22 in the video. If you look at the right you can see another door way which is open. Blair thing could have easily snuck up on Childs as he slept. Next off when we see Child's nodding off we can see the layout of the coats. Note them. Then when we come back when the door opens the coats placement is different. Could be a proper goof or it could be Childs thing rearranged them when grabbing a new coat. Third. Why would Childs go off after Blair alone? Remember when Nauls came back after cutting Mac loose. Mac was trying to get back in. Childs was surrounded by a lot of the guys and they could have blasted Mac easily, yet he refused to do so. Yet he was alone and decided to go after him. Doesn't make sense. Finally the last piece of evidence, the bottle Mac is holding in the ending. Now this falls under two categories. The first one, I don't think that was his liquor, or not quite. I think Mac found a bunch of empty bottles and filled them with gas so they could burn better, causing the explosions when he threw them. In the ending when he met with Childs and handed him the bottle. Mac laughed because Childs drank gas, making him realize he was the thing. Now the second part has to do with what Fuchs said earlier about how everyone should eat from cans or prepare their own food. Now if Childs wasn't the thing, then why would he accept a drink from Mac? It could have been contaminated. Yet he did so, and Mac laughed because of this fact that he knew Childs was the thing. Those are my observations and hope they help.
@@mjohnsen8606 I would have to say that he must have knew he was going to freeze to death, so he decided to ingest the gas to just kill himself and end things.
@@zaxx I believe that the original comment was a joke, stating Child’s is not a “thing” he’s a person despite race or religion, etc. It was a goof on title of this video. Right?
The way you pronounce Kurt’s character .. MACK READY 😆 I enjoy the ending being nebulous & unclear, making it more thought provoking. All this could be possible: Child’s coat is the same but snow & ice covered. Child’s breath can’t be seen in the low light of that scene. MacReady did save a bottle of whiskey because he loves drinking booze. OR… it’s all as you say in the video, the unknown makes it better. The Thing is one of the best films ever made. Not just a great genre film, great film period.
MacReady need a little punching up for how awesome Russell is so we leveled him up the Mack-Ready status. Now way the snow turned that dark blue coat white. MacReady's breath is like a dragon flaming up the place. Not even a hint from Childs? Even as he talks? Low lights can be blamed for a lot of things, but being a Thing isn't one of them. MacReady could have had that bottle on hand because he loves drinking booze. What does he love while drinking booze? Some mutually assured destruction (the chess scene proves this). That's not a bottle of booze, that his nuclear arsenal.
@ Good points one & all but we’d have to hear from John Carpenter himself to actually knows without a doubt who is The Thing at the end. He said he knows the answer.. and isn’t telling ;)
@@CopaExMachina Well I read Carpenter has never told anyone. So you and I are at a stalemate just like Child’s & Mack Ready we’re at the end. Fitting Ain’t It ? 😉
Childs is human. Mac told Childs that if he saw Blair without them, burn him. Childs thought he saw Blair, so he went out. There was no mess of assimilation in the room. Childs is wearing the same coat, it's just under different lighting. Mac's breath is steaming, and Childs' isn't? Well, Bennings-Thing's breath clearly was steaming. It's again just the lighting. If the bottle was a molotov, then why was Mac about to take a sip before Childs walked up on him? The Thing would absolutely know what gasoline tastes like. It absorbs all the memories of its victims, which is how it mimics them perfectly. Here's a better theory: Mac and Childs are both human, but the Thing IS still out there. Because of Bennings. When the Thing assimilates someone, it consumes their mass and spits out a duplicate. When Bennings was assimilated by Split-face, it didn't get to finish the process because Windows interrupted it. So it made a strategic sacrifice of the partially assimilated Bennings. you think the Bennings-Thing put that coat on with those hands? Split-face helped it, then sent it into the snow to die, while Split-face hid. Split0face then assimilated Blair, attacked Fuchs in the dark, and was probably what Childs saw when he left the bunker. And it's still out there.
First of all the amount of detail you got going on here makes me think The Thing is your favorite movie of all time. Second, you're dead wrong about your favorite movie of all time. Let me prove it to you, in the video I said "this is bulletproof evidence". More proof - Mac was about to take a drink of Airwolf juice because he wanted to warm up, he was clearly freezing out there in the snow. Next piece of proof - John Carpenter stated he deliberately shot MacReady heavily back-lit to show his breath and to not show Childs's. John Carpenter never lied to us before. I don't think he did this just to throw us off. What do you think? How right am I now?
Whatever you're doing right now needs to stop so you can watch The Thing. Picture this, you're in a remote location with 7 other people and an alien is killing and replicating them. It's virtually undetectable and you don't know if the man in front of you is really human at all. Not scary at all.
1. It's "Mah-creedy" not "Mack-reddy". 2. Childs is armed with a flamethrower at the end. MacReady is armed with a blanket and a bottle. If Childs is the Thing, there is no reason for him to pretend to _NOT_ be the Thing at that point. He could just open up his face, shoot out a tentacle, and what the hell could unarmed MacReady even hope to do about it? Just like he said earlier in the movie. "I know I'm human. And if you were all these Things then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human."
1) He's Mack-Ready. Not my fault they mispronounced his name in the movie. 2) MacReady is armed with the power of Kurt Russell and therefore a flamethrower nor tentacles could ever stop that.
Childs does breathe at the end as he reaches for the bottle, whether or not that was a mistake by the actor that was caught on film because MacReady was shown to be exhaling a lot with backlighting to prove a point that he was breathing and Childs not at all? Childs also had the earring in which the alien cannot duplicate but in saying so he may have learned to put it back in? Another interesting point that MacReady laughs and the theme music starts after Childs drinks. Is this because it is gasoline or Mac contaminated the drink knowing now Childs is contaminated as well? 42 years later still debating is a great movie.
In all honesty, I think the Chess Wizard computer scene is the key. MacReady has to play chess. He has lost (meaning he knows he's going to die out there) but he poured the drink into the computer (Childs Thing) for some carefully crafted, mutually assured destruction. The Thing continues to haunt us with its ambiguity and paranoia to this day. 1982 was one hell of a year for movies and for awesome people with great RUclips channels being born.
The breath thing is not proof at all. One: You can see his breath depending on the edition and what you are watching it on. Two: Bennings breath can be seen after he is assimilated. So when someone is assimiated, their breath can still be seen anyway. 😅
So...hate to say it, but the coat is the same coat. It's dusted with white (frost) and the lighting is different, giving it a different look. If you look at the physical attributes of the coat, it's the same. The lack of breath vapor I'll buy, but the drink at the end, while plausible, is a little thin. Though, after all these years, never did think about that (saw it when it first came out, yes I'm that old), so now I need to go back and re-watch ;)
Childs is the thing. The 3rd act drink and smile pays off the 1st act computer drink. That seals the deal for me. After all these years, I finally know, thanks Copa!
Requiem for sure. Pi is there as well. Off the top of my head The Conversation with Gene Hackman. The Parallax View with Warren Beatty. Repulsion by Polanski. Marathon Man with Hoffman. Perfect Blue (the anime). Memento. Rear Window by Hitchcock with Jimmy Stewart. But out of these I still think The Thing is the best. No other film captured heightened and sustained paranoia like it before or since. Is The Thing your favorite horror film?
@@CopaExMachina The Vanishing (1988 version) is my favorite (some would say it isn't horror, but it is to me). Hereditary is 2nd. The Thing, The House that Jack Built, and Funny Games (2007 version) are in my top 5, but not sure about the order. Don't Breath and It Follows are somewhere in my top 10. I'm probably forgetting a whole bunch.
always thought Childs was a thing because he ran off. Funny enough Keith David said in an interview he wasn't. John Carpenter said he was exactly for reasons brought up here, you can't see his breath.
@jmsmys13ify - Exactly! Not to mention, after Bennings is assimilated, can still see his breath. So don't know why anyone would believe the theory that Childs is a thing because can't see his breath. Yet the movie already shows that the thing in human form does have breath in the cold visible anyway. 😂
@@CopaExMachina Except nobody at the camp knew what the thing was at that stage, so the risk towards the thing being caught at that stage was extremely low, and the thing was still learning about the humans there. Once Blair had revealed what it was, and once the blood was found to be emptied by the humans, the thing took every opportunity to either survive, kill or assimilate. So you can't really use that for comparison. The thing at the very beginning presumably wasn't that familiar with dogs beyond the one it assimilated at the Norwegian base, and wasn't expecting them to sense through its disguise in a way that humans couldn't. And they still weren't sure what it was capable of until the thawed out thing assimilated Bennings. But all of the events in the film show the thing learning very quickly, and being very adept at surviving. In that ending scene, Macready was extremely high risk. He knew what the thing was capable of, and had just used explosives to destroy the entire camp. He could have easily still had dynamite on him, or still have his flamethrower. Childs approaching him= high risk he gets blown up with Macready, and then there's no thing to be discovered by a future rescue team. Doesn't make sense for a thing to not immediately assimilate Macready if it approached him. In fact the best option would be to not approach at all, wait for Macready to freeze, and then find the best spot on the camp to place itself for the future rescue team.
You lost me at calling it "Kurt Russel's The Thing". If it's anyone's movie it's John Carpenter's, the fking director. Russel acted it in it, Carpenter orchestrated it and made his own version of the 1951 movie.
I have never seen someone so triggered by using the star's name in the title of a video LOL. You're hysterical. How about I call it Kurt Russell's John Carpenter's The Thing? Will that trigger you worse or break you brain altogether?
@CopaExMachina haha, no atleast you give the actual artist the credit and not just the actor who said his lines and listened to the director... Actors are overcredited in the industry and overshadow writers and directors et cetera, so yes that bothers me
Actor's names, at least the real ones like Kurt Russell that is, will always put asses in seats and eyes locked on the screen far more than directors. That's just a fact directors accept. All the real ones know it's a John Carpenter movie and it's called John Carpenter's The Thing. I'm just trying to put asses in seats.
I swear why do some people keep calling Kurt Russell Character Mac-ready....IT MACREADY....Mac...ree...Ady....two EE...one is silent....come on now"!!!!
