I find it interesting how speaking seems to be a theme in this film. Mischa who is learning another language so English is difficult for him, paulie whose mouth gets him into trouble, and Marie whose stutter and anxiety gave her trouble until paulie helped her to speak.
Since Misha is all ears for Paulie story, Paulie was willing to listen to Misha story as well. Both must have been lonely to just want someone not just to talk to but to also listen to them as well. Still that's a big ouch for Misha; "She married my best friend."

@@wiisalute The fact that you are so aware means you're getting ever closer to speaking up. Next time, u may say, "I'm a little awkward at this, but even in my fear, I couldn't let this opportunity pass by to maybe get you know you. I'm ... (your name). You could always edit that down and use less words of that helps. She may be wishing you'd talk to her.

Damn I can relate to this. I ended up crushing on a girl in college, and ended up liking her even more after she became part of my friend circle and I got to know her. She was in a relationship at that time so my feelings for her were suppressed. After she split up with the guy and I stopped dorming, we started hanging out. I knew there was a great connection between us, but I never shared my true feelings because I was afraid of losing her if she didn't feel the same way. As we continued to pretty much go on dates together, she told me it would be the last time we hung out since she was gonna start seeing some guy from her class. I showed her how happy I was that she found someone, but those news killed me on the inside. When she left and I had the whole weekend to think about what just happened, I decided to leave her a voice message confessing my true feelings. She called back disappointed. Not because of potentially ruining a friendship, but for not saying what I felt since the beginning. I felt how hurt she was, and I know she didn't want to lead the new guy on, so I didn't say anything else. This girl was just....perfect for me and I cherished the time I shared with her. My biggest mistake was never speaking up. Although I was hurt badly, I can at least say I learned from my mistakes. Rejection sucks, but not as much as being ignorant and afraid of the truth
I would add to that that yes, speaking up is important, but so to is knowing whether it is wise to do so or not, sometimes speaking up or speaking out CAN lead to undesired outcomes, so it’s sometimes best to remain silent, BUT yes, speaking up is important but as the saying goes “There is a time and place for everything”
That hurts to go through it because I went through it as well as the next guy who didn't speak up for himself but it hurts even more now that she is not here in this world anymore and I never got to talk to her about it and it sucks. All for not speaking up for myself she stole my words away and boom the soccer punch to the stomach right after.
Tony Shaloub was so hot in this movie! I really loved this film as a kid, it really taught me a lot about life and not to be afraid of following your heart. we all could use a parrot like Paulie!
It true never be afraid to speak up relationship, work, and main other things we need communication. We're not mind reader of what a person want to say to another if we don't speak because we might miss out on something important or worth it in our lives.
My family and i recorder this movie to VHS when i was a kid. Sadly time pass and I had no chance to see it again until a now. I just realized the way i choose my mate was based on this movie. She has books on her table and flowers in her hair.
Mischa is one of the best characters: He shared his mango with paulie He spends the entire time listening to paulie's story he helps paulie escape the institute Reunites him with grown-up marie
I never really caught on for this scene when I was little, and makes sense - no accompanying visuals for the story, adult experience of love being told. But it's so poignant, I'm glad they didn't shy away from touching some meaningful points for Misha when they could have kept the movie dumb for kids.
When you're about to tell something to someone, anxiety takes over and you start worrying about how that person will react and you refrain yourself from speaking your thoughts.
Being shy and unsure of yourself and not speaking up and be afraid loss me the love of my life, it still hurts now! If you don't speak up you will never know.

Never thought of it this way. Great comment
It's all a lesson. It's important to try and speak.
First watched this movie when I was 5. I didn't know it'd be giving me life lessons that are relevant

As a 25 year old man with social anxiety I NEED to speak up
The only problem is I cant understand social cues, especially with women.

You and me both brother
Say what you will about this movie, it was very good.
This is such a great monologue. Short but packs a real punch. Every guy in the world can relate to this one.
It is important to speak up
Absolutely love this movie! It’s a classic that i share with all my nieces and nephews, along with all the other family classics of the 80s and 90s 💜

I love this movie omg too cute.
Barely any Russian good guys in Western Cinema, but well crafted.
Funny too because Tony Chalhoub is Lebanese
There nothing exist as western
There are many good russian persons in american movies, since they are strong part of it.

He is hot and sweet.
He is handsome isn’t he?

This movie is a classic its still as good as i remember it i watched it for the first time after not seeing it since i was little.
Mischa is one of the best characters:
He shared his mango with paulie
He spends the entire time listening to paulie's story
he helps paulie escape the institute
Reunites him with grown-up marie

In short, you’ll never know unless you tell em how you feel or ask them out.
Loved that movie.
1:23 She stole your words away.
Tony did very well in that nice movie didn't he
in Jan. in NY, we're friends now, he's great, great, i have cerebral palsy, he's amazing to me, sweet and considerate, protective, as i am of him
Underrated movie
Tears.
i agree with everything said, Tony's hot period, he's a complete angel in person too :)
love tony
cute..
Love tony shalhoub
The guy shouldnt feel like he alone is at fault. Neither of them spoke up when they had feelings for each other.
Yea but its really up to us as men.
This is a really good movie
tony shaloub played luigi from cars
have you met tony shaloub in person?! thats so cool
She said she was dating him lol
Monk young
That actor from Men in Black and The Siege!
He was also the main character on a popular detective comedy show called "Monk".
@@celticpoet21 and he’s also great in Marvelous Mrs Maisel
@@alexweiner1491 and The Voice of Luigi (Cars)
Tony Shalhoub has straight flat hair and a goatee in this movie.
They should make a new movie called Iago Starring Alan Tudyk
Fax
What does it mean to steal ones words away?

WTF would she marry his best friend, knowing how he felt, CatchUpNextTuesday!

Being shy and unsure of yourself and not speaking up and be afraid loss me the love of my life, it still hurts now! If you don't speak up you will never know.
