I know this is well covered in other commentaries but with regard to the commentary on guns, Brad Bird wrote and directed this movie because his sister was killed in a murder suicide by her estranged husband. He wanted to create a movie about a gun that did not want to be gun. He is quoted as saying “My sister Susan, who I love very much and was very close to, died of gun violence. Pointlessly, she was killed by her husband. I was devastated. When you shoot somebody, you’re not just killing that person. You’re killing a part of all the people that love that person.”
This is my favorite movie....at all. Just...in general. Even the pitch Brad Bird made was genius. He pitched it by saying "What if a gun had a soul, and didn't want to be a gun?"
My kids were small when this came out, and they had to help me out of the theatre, I was inconsolable 😭😭😭 one of my all-time favourite movies! Edit: It still makes me cry 😭
16:32 The word "robot" was first used in science-fiction dating from 1920 : It's from a Czech play called Rossum's Universal Robots, which was written by Karel Čapek. Since that play came out 30+ years before the events of the movie, the answer is yes, the characters would actually know about that word and what robots are.
I think it's less the robot having PTSD and more that it was created to be a weapon, it IS a weapon(that's what the nightmare/memory was about), but the hit it took earlier that dented it's head basically screwed up the programming, which is why it wasn't going around killing things. But then the dent popped out + thinking that Hogarth was dead kinda, triggered its fighting programming.
Such an animated masterpiece that truly deserves so much praise and love. That final moment when he sees himself as Superman before he dies always hurts to watch, but thankfully hes still alive 🥹🤖
If either of you were wondering about it, Hogarth's father, Mr Hughes, was part of the military and seems to have died in action a few years before the start of the movie (set in 1957). He was a army pilot so you can imagine what the Iron Giant's farewell before he took off to the sky to seemingly die meant for the kid on top of everything else.
One of the best modern animated movies of all time. IDK why this didn’t/doesn’t get more attention but there is no accounting for American’s taste in anything. Thanks for reacting to this, such a treat!
This movie is one of my all time favorite pieces of animation When it came out I was lucky enough to get the Movie Carboard standup from the theater And yes the film takes place during the Red Scare of the 50's The word robot is from the 1920's and derives from the Czech word “robota,” or forced labor, as done by serfs. Basically it means 'slave' Dean is voiced by Harry Connick Jr. And the Iron Giant was voiced by Vin Diesel
Absolutely loved this reaction, it had me on the edge of my seat even though I’ve seen this many times. 💔 Thanks so much for reacting to this! Subscribed!!
Don't beat yourselves up, I'm 59 and Iron Man was the first book I ever read but I've never watched this movie and I'm expecting it to be nothing like the book I read, that book was dark....
Lol @ having the opportunity to make the first comment and wasting it making a whiny, redundant comment that you could find on every reaction video ever. Wouldn't make much of a first time reaction if they somehow knew what the best parts were going to be so they could know to be quiet for them. They can't just show more than a few seconds of the movie and not say anything. Also if you're talking about "Superman", they literally stopped talking midway and had a clear response to it. If that's not good enough for you, you're impossible to please.
In my opinion the original ending is the cannon ending which is the iron giant dies in the explosion and dosent repai itself. They had to change it because kids were bawling in test screens. As a kid and now an adult the giant dying always felt like the true ending and the more impactful ending to me.
Im 59 and Im still crying over the death....and rebirth of the Iron Giant!
Lololol 57 yo here still blubbering 😭
@@laughingoutloud5742 47 right along with you
49:48 This goes unnoticed, but the general took off his helmet in a sign of respect, respect for the sacrifice of the giant.

Wow, now that sounds like a wonderful memory you shared back in the good times

This one is soooo incredibly underrated. It’s an all time family favorite ❤️
This was based on the 1968 story by Ted Hughes. It was published as The Iron Man, except for the States, and was published The Iron Giant.
Such an animated masterpiece that truly deserves so much praise and love.

the smiles at the end once the parts start coming together is what its all about !!

Brad Bird is so good at directing a mix of traditional and CGI.
This movie is one of my all time favorite pieces of animation
When it came out I was lucky enough to get the Movie Carboard standup from the theater
And yes the film takes place during the Red Scare of the 50's

I love this movie! I love the look of it. The animation is amazing.
Great reaction! If you guys haven’t seen it, now is the perfect time for It’s A Wonderful Life (1946). The best Christmas movie ever made!
Yes, it takes place during the 50s and the "Red Scare".
Robot was definitely a term in the 50s. The term originated from a 1920s play "R. U. R."
The story takes place shortly after the USSR's launch of Sputnik, which was on October 4th, 1957.
@@ciphernine7824 It was on the screen at the start of the movies too.
Don't beat yourselves up, I'm 59 and Iron Man was the first book I ever read but I've never watched this movie and I'm expecting it to be nothing like the book I read, that book was dark....
