My late father had a Fine Arts degree from Ohio University, so I'm loving your commentary. He died 30 years ago when I was 16. You guys would have been a great trio at breaking movies down
.....also, Jack Lemmon was known for "rambling" as a character. I loved his "despondence"...like when she asked him if he wanted cream and sugar in his coffee. OMG. What human element!! Her heart, her compassion
Good review. I liked this one too. Its a bit of a forgotten 70s gem in a way. Jack Lemmon's part proves what a fine and diverse actor he was. He would already be a legend just based on his comedy roles, but the way he could transition into more dramatic roles and in a wide range of films was impressive.
Disney Princess????? That's easy!!! Dude on the left, Snow White. Dude on the right, The Little Mermaid.....I'm SOOO kidding. That was completely random
@@MildFuzzMovies Anytime. I hope I sound more humble than it probably seems. I'm just grateful to give food for thought to those who know all the whole lot more than I do.
Hey!! Dude on the right. 52 mins in, remember that "back in the day", it wasn't a movie without a car chase lol...but I'm with you. You seem to have real affection for implication and ambiguity. I love it too
Wow! Dude on the right. So 55mins in, my thoughts are that they didn't have to give Jack Lemmon more "material" because, as one the best pure actors of his day, he added to the material with facial expressions etc..
Hey!! So, Yeah. 45 mins in, I want to share with you my thoughts. Personally, I think it's implied, at least as a possibility (from earlier dialogue) that the plant may have taken MUCH more significant damage...like the flooding of radiation! I say that because pipes and welds did in fact seem (visually) to rupture (although I don't remember steam). Personally, I enjoyed that thought because it added to the "justice" of greed.
The idea about putting a nuclear power plant (or prison or garbage dump or a million other things Americans are hypocritical about) is sometimes called NIMBY: not in my backyard.
50 mins in, just off the cuff. I think of the microwave commercial also as a cynical type of "oh well. This danger/greediness marches on no matter what". But, yes. I never thought of the commercialization idea. Thanks
Jane Fonda is 42yo in this movie. RUclips Barbarella and Sunday In New York. She was bangin'!! No wonder she was the first "arm candy/trophy wife" to an ol' school billionaire, Ted Turner!
1:08 in. Yes! Remember that not all, or maybe "most" of this movie's technical babble is just that. Yes. It's inaccurate that the water is mixed with radiation or that a broken pump immediately leads to a radiation leak. Remember this movie is less about nuclear power and more about greed.
..about 27 mins in, to go along with what you said about this movie "not making concessions", did you guys know that it's producer is thee Michael Douglas?

I thought the same thing David did at the mention of Wilford Brimley's name.

Thanks for all the thoughts, ha!

Wow!! 48 mins in. Great insight about the microwave. I saw a correlation, but you guys took it even deeper.
1:02 in, Yes! I dated my city's local news anchor and we watched this together. She was so sweet and idealistic at 27yo.
35 mins in, YES! Well said! They "held" shots. I never thought to word it like that.
In the late 70's not only did we not have internet, there were only 3 or 4 channels, so there really weren't that many different options.
53 mions...Agreed! I liked how they ramped up the danger to contrast Jack's conviction for doing the right thing.
When that first TMNT movie came out, it was huge. I remember this b/c I worked in a movie theater, and it sold out the theater for the first weekend.
31mins in, remember that Jack Lemmon was mostly a comedic actor. This movie had some of the best pure acting.
"They haven't learned their lessons"...that's why I would like to assume that radiation was, in fact, released and trashed the whole plant
about 46 mins in, Yes! Totally! I think that what Brimley said at the end, was perhaps the "biggest" twist in the entire movie.
Wow! Dude on the right. So 55mins in, my thoughts are that they didn't have to give Jack Lemmon more "material" because, as one the best pure actors of his day, he added to the material with facial expressions etc..
Thanks for the review btw
...about 40 mins in, you mentioned JLemmons character. His character was a "Navy guy". I was in the US Navy nuclear power.
That's my favorite comment!! "No one gives the Pacific Ocean enough credit for how massive it its" LMAO

1:09, Agreed!! Dude on the left, right on.
WTF? 44mins in, I never thought of that! I've seen this movie about 10 times. Thanks
Wow I'm only 12mins in. You guys are good.

60 mins in, I this Douglas' character was simply a "rebel". Also, he provided a shit load of foreshaddowing.
1:05 in, Yes! ...about Michael Douglas, remember that those were "hippie days" (the 70s) so of course he was cynical etc.
33mins in, YES. The movie is more about greed than anti-nuclear power
..about 27 mins in, to go along with what you said about this movie "not making concessions", did you guys know that it's producer is thee Michael Douglas?
37 mins in, I disagree a bit. Jackovich is THEE villain of the movie, imo. (the guy who fudged the X-rays)
56 mins in, oh hell yeah. He was becoming despondent by rambling.
LMAO 54 mins, I would also "immediately be in my basement". Actually not true at all...I'd be in my car heading away
