*He was staring at him like he was Jesus for 10 mins straight and when he did it, he only got a 'good job'... True Wallstreet businessman*
Just a bizneman doin bizne... 🤷🏻♂️
And made him pay for the ride
Kind of reminds me of another movie Will Smith was in. Hancock! " Good Job! " xD lol
people hate being wrong. that's all.
this took place in SF. not NY
He was hustling the whole time. He could have solved it in 10 seconds, but decided to slow play it and pretend it was his first time.
I'm sure he "hustled" by pretending he was struggling, when solving it out right would have been just as impressive at the time, and wouldn't have put him in a situation to pay a cab fare he couldn't afford....
@@dylanhom58 Solving it outright might have made the guy feel bad and he's trying to get him to hire him
By slowing down, it gives the impression that he's solving the "problem" of the cube on the fly. That is the skill he was trying to tell him about at the beginning of the clip
@@dammagrilla never diminish yourself for the sake of others.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
@@biggc49042 Not sure what that has to do with the psychology behind solving it that way...
1. It keeps the guy's ego intact, solving it quickly could embarrass him and make it harder to get what he wants from him.
2. Solving it that way shows his ability to take on NEW tasks and solve NEW problems quickly... if he already knew how to solve it it would be less impressive to his audience...
How is that diminishing himself?
10 seconds? Are you kidding me lmao. He uses LBL method so the fastest he can do is ~45 seconds
Most suspenseful rubiks cube solve in movie history.
Suspense??
When Hero is doing something in a movie, there is no suspense at all, because he is going to win, after all.
@@bolivar9586 in this movie it's kinda different.... Cuz the hero was losing everything lol..
@@bolivar9586 Have you......not seen a movie before?
the most suspenseful part was how was he gonna pay the cab
then you have yet to see "dude where's my car" kek
I watched a pirated DVD of this film and it just suddenly ended here with a still saying he became a really famous rubik's cube champion or something. I never questioned it for a long time till I eventually saw the legit version XD
Fuck that's funny
i wish i was scammed that way
Thank you for this
that’s golden🤣
I really hope this is true
Pretty cool that they used actual algorithms instead of movie magic
That wasn't a typical algorithm. I didn't recognize some of the steps at the end.
@@kyletrager8579 its a beginners method algorithm. F2 U L R' F2 L' R U F2.
the thing is, they used the layer-by-layer beginner's method, but that wasn't invented until the 2000's if im correct
yeah I know that method. It's a super beginner method with only like 3 main algorithms for PLL and OLL but you solve and orient the edges first then go for the corners
@@DarkStar-ol2uo yep 1 oll alg and 2 pll algs
Chris: Ive successfully completed extensive medical procedures under pressure in the navy with no medical experience.

LMAO xDDDDDDDD

So you practiced medicine without a degree or license... you are going to jail.
because it is a stretch of a truth. I can say I saved lives as an EMT, but the most I can say I have done by myself is stop a bleeding. Wouldn't really consider saving a life if anyone around could have done the same thing. Some may see otherwise.
I read somewhere, they had to re-shoot several takes, because he kept solving it too fast.
Yeah, sure...
@@eclipsesolar8345 Why would you say that? You don't think he can solve a Rubik's cube?
fake a ss fc k
@@eclipsesolar8345 The world record for solving a Rubik's Cube is 4.22 seconds. I'm not saying Will Smith is that good but they really aren't that hard to solve once you figure out the proper pattern
@@FEelDaPAinO The average time it takes someone that plays with the cube all the time. Is around 23 seconds. That time would not even qualify you to enter..Any Professional challenge..
The average for a beginner is 2+ mins.. As once you master the algorithm. It depends on hand eye coordination...to improve that time..
Moral of the story : You have to prove your intelligence to make people believe you're ideas will work.
Really?
It used to be that way. But now diversity took over.

True Story
reminds me of the old joke...a barber cuts a bishop's hair, refuses to take payment for the bishop saves souls..and the next day the barber finds a stack of bibles at his front door. a week later he cuts a policewoman's hair, refuses payment since she keeps the neighborhood safe...and finds a box of donuts by his door.
a month later, the barber cuts a lawyer's hair before a big pro bono case, and refuses payment for the lawyer is defending the defenseless. the next day, the barber goes to his shop...and sees a line of lawyers waiting for him to open

“No you can’t” is the biggest motivation for me. If anyone ever tells me I can’t do something I’ll do it even if I don’t want to out of spite
you can't fly
@@Gerald0613buy a plane ticket. You’re flying.
You can't fly by jumping off a building without parachute or any other such utility
You can’t run towards a cop screaming “I have a gun”
You cant jump off mathers point into the grand canyon! You just cant, you are not capable!
This movie deserved more awards than it got. The director was amazing. You can't watch this movie and not feel the anxiety.
Most 05 to 07 movies were like that lol
Yes you can.
@@blob_loblaw not me. The scene where they had to hide all night in the men's room still elevates my heart rate.
I felt the despair when the IRS cleaned out his bank account and his friend kicked him and his child out of the apartment.
Will Smith owned this role.
I cried when I first watched this movie 😢
white people can watch it and not feel the anxierty bc they dont know what its like to struggle. awful folks.
Guy stuck him with the cab fare when he knows he's struggling for money.
When you don't struggling for money, or anything, you don't come up with a mind that someone is in that situation, even if you know they are
He doesn’t look like he hasn’t struggled with money in a long time, he probably honest to god forgot about the fare for the cab
Of course Will Smith can do it. He did it on his Princeton interview many years ago.
I actually knew how to do it but today I completely forgot.
Was looking for this Fresh Prince reference!
@@Dracogame I'm going to make a video with that title "How to solve a rubik's cube in a way that you can NEVER FORGET!". If you store the information in your brain, you'll forget it, you have to download it to your hands and fingers. I've gone years without seeing one and can still solve them right away.
Good eye
Good memory!
Knew I wasn't the only one that remembered that, haha the way the Princeton recruiter was buddy buddy with him too that episode.
It was my great pleasure to Chris Gardner. Truly one of the most genuine people you've ever met. He gave a presentation, and afterwards stay behind for over 2 hours to speak to every single person who wanted a selfie, or a quick word. And for 30 seconds, he gave you direct undivided attention. Just an amazing human.
Anyone remember when Will Smith solved the Rubik's cube in that episode of Fresh Prince? Maybe it was a callback lol
Well that got him into Princeton, so why not for an actual job ;).
It was DEFINITELY a callback. Hahaha
With the dean, haha! 🤣
Will Smith can actually solve Rubik’s cubes
@@MaddawgMar right it’s like if he could speak Spanish and he spoke Spanish in an earlier film. The two stories / characters don’t connect just because the same actor displays one of their skills in both films.
You can tell Mr Twistle was impressed that Chris Gardner solved the Rubik's Cube but just not showing it and that is what makes this movie so good that you can tell the emotions of the characters even without them saying what emotion they are having.
Cab Driver: "Uh, where are you going sir?"
Will: "Take me to Princeton. I just got in."
Will: "Yo home to Bel-Air!"
I remember how my late husband Tim could solve the Rubik's cube so easily, practically with his eyes closed.
Wow really cool..
@@alfisyahr yeah, he'd grab a cube and solve it on autopilot to relax, like other people squeeze stress balls!
He sounded like a really cool cat Ariel!
I hope he's in a better place and I hope you're doing okay!
@@bernardomotard oh, he absolutely was a cool cat (not to mention a cat lover). He's in Heaven, the best place ever and my heart is at peace!
That explained the late part.
Really. Yall blurred out the fake taxi in a movie
They also censor Crap
Who blurred it out? The uploader or RUclips?
@@MrHarumakiSensei uploader
@@TetrologyGamingBattlefield Wow, that's kinda strange really.
There's a really existing 1980 "Raging Bull" De Niro movie ad on this taxi. What they didn't blurred though is Yellow Cab Co brand on the side of the car.
it was an uplifting moment then you're reminded of his struggle when he bails on the cab
We’ve all been there.
He only needed to go back two blocks. If you're someone that short of cash, two blocks is fuckin nothing. Every few I used to walk 40 mins both ways to get to the closest subway store near me since I had like $200 on my loyalty card and 0 in actual money, did this for like 7 months. If you're that short of money there's no way you ask the cab driver to take you those two blocks, you just walk it.
@@sketch3744 It was the entire cab fare, he didn’t want to run out of the cab in front of his potential employer
I'm suprised he didn't slap the guy for being rude.
He was solving a Rubik's cube. There was no bald ghetto rat woman there to defend, bro.
Keep my cube out your hand!
I learned how to solve the cube watching a RUclips video. It took a long time to memorize all the algorithms.
Definitely worth the effort!
I mean no it doesn’t
@@noha9719 I mean maybe something he learned took less time to understand than something for you, like socializing, being a decent human being, or trying to encourage someone else to try.
Maybe it took him only an hour and to him that took a while and it took you longer than an hour. I don't what's wrong with people anymore...

The Pursuit of Happiness is in my opinion Smith's best role yet.
fucked around and watched 7 pounds...i cried lol
@@nigelrivera281 exactly this and 7 pounds his Best
Heard Will can solve the cube for real. I learned from library books, then DVDs. It's a blast to show people how to do it too.
I would always forget the algorithms from books, so then I taught myself by hunting down the algorithms myself without looking them up, now I can't forget how to solve them.
It's impossible to do. I can't do it.
My 11 yr old son just learned how to solve the cube from RUclips tutorials. I showed him the algorithms I learned, but he is using the ones from YT.
Yep. This isn't the first time he's solved a Rubiks Cube in a TV show/movie either. He solved one in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air during his entry interview for Prinston. It's how he got the dean to like him
It’s fun actually recognizing some of the moves this dudes doing
Best Rubics Cube solve since that Fresh Prince episode.
One of my all time fav movies and Will’s best performance ever (in my opinion)!! Oh man and he’s $weating that cab fare! Not cool of Twistle not to cover it after stellar Cube solve
If I had a nickel for every time Will Smith impressed an interviewer by solving a Rubik's Cube, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice!
Ahhh, Phineas and Ferb reference🔥
Fresh Prince. 👍
The funny thing is, Will Smith also impressed the Dean of Princeton on the fresh prince by being able to figure out a Rubik’s cube.
This scene is a real slap in the face.
Once I completed my graduation I literally searched everywhere for jobs in Chennai. At that time my mom even mortaged her gold marriage badge and supported me financially until I find the job. When I got the job, that's how I felt. Now she got that back and I provided her a home in my native and feels happy. You know you are going to struggle like an end each day. No it's the start of new beginning. Thanks and love to my parents.🥰🥰
good job man
Congrats i have relatives in China who also came from such humble roots and had to hustle like you did
Tf does this had to do with the video
Very good bro - God is there
No cheats. No magic. Serious tip. Work on the side adjacent to the side facing you. It'll make sense when you try.
i've never focused more into someone doing a rubik cube in my whole life.
This will forever be one of will smith’s greatest movies IF NOT his greatest
Slapped it right into submission
Taxi Driver: Look at these fools. I could solve that thing in half the time while driving.
He is an 2 times Nobel prize winner
Wait, what!? The taxi driver is someone famous?
I'm more impressed with the driver. driving around sf and playing with the cube
You can memorize algorithms to solve the cube and you can take the time to come up with the algorithms on your own but someone solving it intuitively in a car ride first try is impressive.
you said "impressive" where "impossible" would be more accurate.
He doesn't solve it in any way that anyone else on Earth would solve it.
@@caesarxi1303 A movie about a person that does the impossible? You don't say.
I don't understand why people keep saying "algorithm." An algorithm is just using a pattern. I don't understand how doing the same repetitive motions solves it.
I learned to solve it by getting the cube in its correct color orientation. Once the colors line up, then the correct "algorithm" will twist the cube to its original shape. Aka being solved.
The hardest part was understanding how to aline all the corners. Once that's done, it's just a matter of manipulating the center pieces.
@@dbzkings2626 Algorithm =/= the same repetitive motions. Algorithm = sequence of moves to achieve a goal.
How could ynot hire a guy that demonstrates such tenacity and problem solving skills
He’s not real

But,....

He prob has a dipshit nephew who gets the job instead in real life
@@ColocasiaCorm He literally is a real person though...
this is the movie that had me wake up, understand that it's possible to do something in life even if you did not go to college.
I think something clicked inside my head watching this scene. There is something so much more powerful about DOING something, when your DOUBTED, then when not. You changed someone’s perspective. You made them rethink something. You turned a doubter, into a believer. And the ability to inspire man is one of the most powerful on this earth. We all gotta just prove em wrong…
Then he slapped him.
This movie gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams again
i watched this film before knowing how to solve a rubix cube, rewatching this scene now that I know it I can actually understand what he is doing
Where are you going sir? Uh, a couple blocks just flip around. A metaphor for the rubik’s cube?
"Keep my rubix cube out yo hands!" SLAP!
This is a movie I can watch completely and feel like watching it again
First he gets into Princeton because of a Rubik’s cube and now this!
This one scene started a ridiculously huge trend of kids in my school solving all kinds cubes and even having a damn competition at an assembly.. lawl it was fun, I still have mine :)
Nerd!!
This movie made me beg my parents for a Rubik’s cube as a kid lol
this puzzle solving piece is consistent with his i wont stop til i find the answer speech
When I was in middle school I learned how to solve a Rubik’s cube after I watched this movie
This guy looks like a very smart individual I hope he doesn't slap anyone over a joke on national television.
Never let anyone tell you that you can’t do it, believe in yourself and never give up.
If movie has Will Smith as an actor - it's a must buy for sure. I can't recall bad movies with him as a main actor!
After Earth
Aladdin
Gemini man; Will Smith playing Will smith fighting Will smith playing Will smith.
This scene of having a Rubik’s Cube is a symbolism of progress to word hard to be successful
Work*
I could watch that scene over and over again.
Woah... Imagine solving it during a job interview
Slap the Rock! 2022!
This is a great movie I got say it was amazing
Best film ever. Will Smith did a good job.
The fact that he used a cfop instead of beginner method is insane.
@Google Admin As far as I know, there are 3 methods to solve a Rubik's cube.
The first one is beginner method which has 8 steps and each step has 1 algorithm to use while the first two(or even the third) and the last step has no use of algorithm. When this method is perfected, you can solve cube in 60 to 70 seconds or even less depending on your technique.
The second method is CFOP and this has 4 steps. This requires a lot more understanding of the cube for the second step and you also need to remember a lot of algorithms for third and fourth steps. The third and fourth steps have 2 variations each and they differ a lot from each other and have drastic difference in time solving. The solve time can range from 40 seconds if you use the easier variations to merely 15 to 20 seconds using the harder variations. If you really perfect the easier variation, you can solve in 30 seconds easily. Similarly, if you perfect the harder variation you can solve in pretty much 10 seconds.
Now I don't have any idea of third method that is Z method because I have never reached that point but I think this is what most of the speedcubers use to solve in less than 10 seconds.
I learned all of this from RUclips and haven't read any articles.
Hope this helped!
*Makes two moves
Mr.Twistle: See, now that's all I ever do
Binge Society, thank you for blurring the advertising. I appreciate that a lot.
the thing that stuck with me the most after watching this movie is that you'll never know how much you're capable of and sometimes you'll never succeed until faillure is not an option
One of my favorite movies of all time 👍
People don't understand how insane it is that the guy actually solved it withouth
knowing how to, actually solving without memorizing the steps are being taught means your basically a genius.
Just makes it unbelievable is all.
@@snap-off5383 Dude, someone had to actually be the one to do that though. It's not like the cube came out and there were instantly tutorials and step by step methods on how to solve it. The internet wasn't even a thing at this point.
I love the cab driver being just as into it
The interview schne at last tears of joy in my eyean that is happiness
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
the cabby was watching me solve rubix cubes in the mirror
If anything i can say this cab was rare
So i said "flip the cab around" and I bailed at Bel Aire
Hahaha bruh, that's dope
Rubiks*
i pulled, up to the street about 7 or 8 and yell to the cab "yo homie smell you later"
look at my wallet, there was nothing in there
took my ass out and got the hell out of there.
He was a couple blocks away from his throne as the fresh pr...--car blows up--
End of clip.
Loved his determination. A true Krishna Devotee.
Even though jay might of seemed like he was ignoring Chris they were talking business. Don’t focus on what’s in front of you but rather the feeling itself.
I think Will's repeated line of saying that 'he can' symbolizes the overall message of this movie.
It feels rather awkward if the director's intent was to portray a natural scene of someone getting informal interview.
In the third grade, I finished one of these on the first try while on a long time-out. To this day it's the most impressive thing I've ever done imo. Couldn't do it again today. I know there's some patterns you just gotta remember, but I figured those out in my head that day. Probably took 10-15 mins
Fact is he's actually using the correct method,....
Only Rubik's cube players can understand
Should have won the Oscar for this...
When he bails out on the cab 😂
I was scared the Rubik’s cube was gonna fall apart. Happened to me loads of times and it’s so frustrating.
Ummmm, put it back together all solved. Easy.
When its cheap plastic, it mostly will break apart.
Have ever tried a high quality one?
It goes so smoothly its much faster to solve!
That cube in the video, is a professional one for sure.
If I was that taxi driver I woulda taken that man anywhere he wanted after doing that 😂😂
Great scene, one of my favorite parts. My 9 year old nephew can solve rubik´s cubes easily.
I believe kids are naturally able to do such because I somehow did it long before I went 11. But I had lost that trait shortly after.
@@1.N.Decent True, many kids are naturally inclined to do such, my nephew simply seems to have good logic and memory for he can memorize a song(word by word) after hearing it 2x.
"This thing is impossible" - laugh in cubers
Imagine the pressure, solving the cube for a job.
If my life was a movie, I would be will Smith in the back of a taxi solving a Rubik's cube in front of everyone during that short trip. Then I'll run out cause I can't pay the fair
I love that Will got to do this scene twice in his career.
Thank fuck he didn’t make a harmless joke about his wife
Jay got his cube solved AND hitched a free taxi ride. No chill.
😂
Why did that feel so intense..dude like why....dosent enyone feel the same way....XD....I was like oh no he's not gonna solve it in time!!!! LOL
I love how the guy doubted Chris could solve the cube like 10 times.
You can tell he actually solved it using the beginner method. That's how I learned it. Soon as I saw that white cross I knew
Lots of methods start with a cross.
Rubix cube solves aren’t intelligent...people just memorise the already know patterns to resolve it. But if you ever see someone who doesn’t know those patterns resolve it, that’s a genius.
That what very few people realise
Talk about working under pressure. This is literally it.
Those rubik's cubes are not easy!
Who remember when he did it in fresh prince? When he goes to a college application interview.
Surprised he didn't slap him for saying he can't do it.
Couple of years ago I watched this movie somewhere I don't even remember and now RUclips recommended me this clip and I watched it again and downloaded this movie in my device to watch watch it everytime whenever I'll go through bad days & guess what? I'm gonna do it...this is that type of movie
I was thinking "oh no, he's just going to do it in super fast speed" I like that he had to work at it.
This scene actually inspired me to solve a rubiks cube, though i just memorized the algo.
Pretty sure that's what most people that can complete it do...
You never memorized anything because there is no "the" algo. Its a multi step proccess involving at minimum 2 algorithms unless you understand enough puzzle theory to know how to utilize commutators. Which you don't.
