How refreshing it is to have a movie that just makes mistakes in pacing and presentation instead of a movie that sets out to insult its audience and 'subvert expectations'
15:25 Actors running their mouths has been an issue in Hollywood since they loosened the public appearance restrictions on actors (in the 1950s). Before that, they were under strict instructions to never speak on, among other things - religion and politics. The wisest of that era was Cary Grant who said - "I'm opposed to actors taking sides in public and spouting spontaneously about love, religion or politics. We aren't experts on these subjects. Personally I'm a mass of inconsistencies when it comes to politics. My opinions are constantly changing. That's why I don't ever take a public stand on issues."
Anthony Hopkins is also a gem when it comes to things like this. Like when he was asked about then current affairs: “I don’t have any opinions,” Hopkins said. “Actors are pretty stupid. My opinion is not worth anything. There’s no controversy for me, so don’t engage me in it because I’m not going to participate.”

How is it almost every movie he is in, he is underutilized. In Argylle, he was all over marketing but in the movie far less. They pushed him out of Witcher. I don’t think there is a single production where you could seriously say “Too much Henry Cavill. Let’s cut some scenes.”
Everywhere Cavil goes DEI and woke follows. He's either the unluckiest actor working in the industry or working one of the most convincing hustles in entertainment history. Everywhere he goes he generates excitement from fans the DEI lot come in, then he moves on to the next thing to wreck. You can trace it back to everything he's done.
To me, while Arnold and Sly were the kings of action films in the 80s, Kurt was the one who gave off the most cool factor. I mean, he's so badass that Kojima literally based Solid Snake off of him, and used the Plissken name as a cover in MGS2.
The files were "discovered".. makes you wonder what other stories were "discovered" years and years after an event is over and no one is around anymore to refute it.
I mean, even if it was shared JUST after the events, it would probably be called either "enemy propaganda" or "over-exaggerated patriotism", depending on its critics.
Hey at least you can argue about the validity of these files Unlike certain other things that are so absolutely true that you may be jailed for questioning it
I was curious to the woman’s true story. I found this. Stewart is an actress-turned-markswoman in the movie, who in real life went on to marry March-Phillips before he was killed in 1942. In actuality, “Marjorie didn’t go out on a mission in Operation Postmaster, but she (had) a key role in planning and putting it all together,” Amel says. “Given that she was actually training a lot of the female spies going behind enemy lines, it would’ve been criminal to not send her out on a mission in the movie to respect and honor her.” She didn’t feel like a key planner in the movie. It felt more like she was just following orders.Missed opportunity I found a bit of the “action” to be bland. Too much casual walking and shooting.
I thought the way they tried to shoe horn character traits for the girl by saying how smart she was with basic riddles, "If I'm your brother, but you're not my brother what are you"? "I'm your sister", "Aw, how smart you are!" she had a bunch of scenes where they gave her fake smart lines like that and every character mentions it, it's so forced.
Because hellywood is fake woke bs to force diversity hacks. And they have to prop them up as fake as possible while tearing good characters down to elevate them.
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good! and sad! im getting GoT (the books were great and im referring to the books in this case) vibes when you get built up loving a character only for them to then get UnAlived all of a sudden! The Intrigue! The Machinations! The Actual Nobel Sacrifices! The bound by Honor!
Filler. Based on a real mission that only took 30 mins to execute. They needed something. Not that she was bad, but it was more like, "What can we film for 40 minutes?"
Apparently I thought far more highly of the movie than anyone here did, though they certainly don't seem to have paid much attention to the movies' details. Sure, it's very much a traditional war movie, but it reminded me a heck of a lot more of "Where Eagles Dare" than Tarantino's dross.
@@fyrchmyrddin1937did you just unironcally use the word dross. 😅 and to describe Quentin Tarantino. 😅. Jesus dude the movies not that great it's OK. It's not bad but it's hardly the cinematic experience you seem to think it is. So I'm glad it's not doing super well because it clearly doesn't deserve it. 😊 and again did you really use the word dross. Lmfao. What did you just go to Oxford dictionary to find the most pretentious word possible lmfao. I can't breathe. 🤣. You're making me laugh too hard.
@@Goro_Maj1ma Yes, *dross*. Tarantino is an over-hyped, low quality director. Only ignorant children think he's the greatest evah, because they have no perspective.
Conservative audiences have been getting stir crazy and flandarized themselves by calling everything woke. He likely saw that and got turned off by it just like other dissident right people who aren't pro-ConInc. It's what's happening with the Fallout show. There's next to nothing woke about it yet the entire comment section on Drinkers review is the same attitude that the left had towards people who played Hogwarts Legacy.
It was Guy Ritchies audition for Henery Cavil to be JAMES BOND. A character played by Cavil (March-Passe) was believed to be the inspiration for Ian Flemmings (in the movie also) Bond. You guys missed it.
Gus March-Phillips wasn't THE inspiration for Bond. Bond was probably a composite, of him, Lassen (Alan Ritchson's character), Fitzroy MacLean, and Fleming's older brother Peter. Maybe a couple other guys, too.
@@Grizz1yKi11a that's debatable, and he's been accused of exaggerating.. He claimed to have been in Popski's Private Army. There's no mention of him in either Peniakoff's book, or Bob Yunnie's.
Echo is right, the Winston Churchill is quite bad. But... It's a fun action movie. My wife and i really enjoyed it. I'd still go to the theater to watch it.
Until 2016s presidential election Tom Hanks was one of those actors whose political opinions weren't known. Ever since that election cycle I've had no interest in seeing anything he does. I simply do not want to know what the performing monkey in the box thinks. I just want them to perform.
It’s the least Guy Ritchie film and the only reason you go see his movies is for his Guy Ritchieness. Also Alan Ritchson being 19 is so stupid either don’t have him in that role or change that part of the story a little bit.
The irony is, the most interesting missions were actually undertaken by the other side -- and that makes sense, as their side were logistically severe underdogs throughout the war. The taking of the super-fort Eben-Emael, for example, which was believed to be impregnable but was captured by an elite crew using gliders (gliders!). Amazing incident -- one of many. The real Hollywood-like adventure stories actually were often undertaken by the opponents.
I liked it. It was a solid escape your life for 2 hours movie. And it was based on true events. But it’s not a movie to go out of your way for like say DUNE part 2.
The books on these events were incredible (SAS, the actual ministry of ungentlemanly warfare). I mean David/Sterling/Paddy Main.... I mean those stories were freaking incredible.
My family served WW2, from the U.S.A., on both fronts of the war. I was raised with it in family storytelling. What has happened is the Great Generation has passed us, and those difficult days of the world wars have become mythology. In time, it will become legendary. It has become a Hollywood action-man scene of one punch knocks out the bad guy, and while looking good. Nobody of Gen-Z seems to know the details of anything that took place, and how serious it was, as it becomes a distant war, like the U.S. Civil War.
@@tipsyt1909 Alan Richson, he’s been going off on an anti cop rant on the twitters and has been singling out some other groups for some shade.

April 26, 2024 - I agree with The Drinker and guests, that high profile people should just shut up about politics and social issues. Aside from other reasons though. I think a lot of Hollywood types feel that if they don't say something, people will make assumptions about their politics and social views. Another two reasons are to get their names in the headlines, which is free advertising, and/or because they are "true believers" supporting their beliefs.
I think it’s a requirement of Hollywood. In order to show you still have loyalty to the cult (not that I think it’s an actual cult but hey who knows) you need to occasionally spout these party lines. It’s no wonder why the more conservative actors tend to no longer get roles. James Wood, anyone? Jon Voight?
“Based on a true story” has become Hollywood speak for “connected to a true story by the thinnest of lines to give us an excuse to make…”. In this case that sentence ends with “a second rate version of Inglourious Basterds”.
"Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen" was a 1938 hit in Nazi Germany. In Yiddish, because people thought it was a Southern German song. The song was banned when the pfennig dropped, but everybody already knew it by then.
I saw this movie with friends. It was okay. There was some lame DEI stuff that takes you out of the movie. It was still enjoyable but could have been better.
The thing is, it wasn't really DEI stuff. There were 17 Nigerians on the real mission, but they crewed the tugs (the plan was always to steal the ships) and guarded the prisoners. I don't think the woman was involved, but she was a real person and did other SOE stuff.
I enjoyed this film, but there was a shocking lack of action scenes. I feel like Henry Cavill and the main team barely got any screen time. It felt like Eiza González and Babs Olusanmokun's characters had the same if not more screen time than Henry and his team.
This EXACT story was an Amazon Prime limited series less than a year ago. The scenes in the trailer look to be the same as the series, the dialogue is similar and the series even had the guy/girl romance.
Ritchie does The Wild Bunch meets The Ipcress File meets his version of Man from UNCLE. aka goes for Inglourious Basterds, ends up with outtakes of Indiana Jones and the colour palette of Pearl Harbour.
Anyone else find it annoying its supposed to center around violent men in wartime, but then we have the token chick doin her thang in the trailers? It tuns me off.
To be fair- there *were* several official female SOE agents (in France alone, there was more than 40), & several gave their lives to the cause- but as I understand it, they weren't there at this early stage- nor in this theatre of the war. _However_ , civilian partisans & female Resistance members could have been realistic. It's wrong to imply that women were just like nurses or only on the Home Front; My girl, Nancy Wake, has an amazing story- I've seen the stellar docu-drama on her (which is hopefully still on RUclips), & I'm currently reading her biography -- Guy Ritchie _could_ try & make an SOE sequel, with characters like her- if he wanted...
Just got out of the cinema... No character development.. couldn't attach emotionaly to any of the characters...just the last scene made me a bit thrilled about whats going on (didmt felt like any of the characters uo to that point was in any danger...) Good visuals.. although the last act was a bit dark .. It was funny...amazing sound design...and just plain fun ... My wife liked it more than me ... All in all a fun movie...
It'd be nice to see a military movie about something a little unusual. Korean War maybe? Or how about the Battle of Fallujah or anything from the last twenty years that isn't the GD special forces.
Fallujah or Ramadi would be intense. You could have parallel stories like Marines and Blackwater, and it would make sense. Could be Blackhawk Down level stuff. Unfortunately directors lost their balls somewhere along the way.
I'd recommend reading the book, by Damian Lewis, and the better book of the same name, by Giles Milton. They both cover Op Postmaster, which is a great story. There were 11 commandos on the raid, BTW, and only one survived the war.
Funny people keep comparing them, because I had a huge crush as a teen with one of the Bastards (G. Burkhard) and I also have a huge thing with Henry Cavill. I DO have a type.
Was it based on the group that wanted to poison ordinary German civilians after the war as "revenge"? They did a specific movie about that group -- I think it was called "Plan B." Came out just a couple of years ago.
Thank Amazon for that. I wanted to watch this in the cinemas in the UK too! Seen Godzilla, about to watch Abigail, but this was the other thing that I thought looked good
@@SpareSomeChange8080 no where in Ireland or the UK. I looked. I wanted to see it on Friday with me Brother in Coventry, and they got 2 major cinema companies and nothing, but they got the magical negros still showing 😒
It's nice to be appreciated, but it's actually nothing saying about me. It's about how good your content is and how accurate you do your job. And all of you gentlemen.
Later there were Nazi and Soviet propaganda versions of "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen." Because the tune was so popular, even the Reich and the USSR could not stop it, so they made the best of it.
It was weird how light hearted all the killing was, but I did enjoy it. Strong female character wasn’t too distracting, and strong diverse characters weren’t out of place either.
About the actors and their views. Yes, pretty much agreed. And if they do say anything, just be aware that there may be blowback. And really, that goes for anyone in the public light. Even youtube personalities. There's a few movie critics whom I have unfollowed and unsubscribed because they can't help but always promote their anti - government libertarian conspiracies along with the movie/TV review.
I think if we're measuring success based on opening weekends we may need to come up with a conversion formula because box office in 2024 is not at all what box office was in 2018.
I can't believe none of the chasers have read the book. It's a good book, and half the things they find themselves wishing for would have been there if the movie had anything except the title in common with it. It's a story about a group of eccentric englishmen who go from inventing things in their garden sheds to building ingenious new weapons, the maverick skilled soldiers who become the commandos who cary out missions they plan, and the Moneypenny like lady who kept things together. I absolutely hate Inglorious Basterds and it's a real shame if anyone in the movie making business thinks that is something they have to emulate, especially when you're making a film that is in anyway based on real people and events.

How refreshing it is to have a movie that just makes mistakes in pacing and presentation instead of a movie that sets out to insult its audience and 'subvert expectations'
Sadly one of the actors decided to do it for them
💯
The moment I hear “subverts expectations” I know it’s not for me.
I disagree. I'm sick of accepting low quality. Being not woke isn't enough.
Thank you for this synopsis of this video. Spares me from having to listen to them :D
15:25 Actors running their mouths has been an issue in Hollywood since they loosened the public appearance restrictions on actors (in the 1950s). Before that, they were under strict instructions to never speak on, among other things - religion and politics.

Another Entertainer who had a similar public stance on this as Cary Grant, was Elvis Presley.
@@DavyDredd14 Yeah, I saw a great clip where a "journalist" tried to bait Elvis into saying something inflammatory, and he handled it perfectly.

its very good. though doesnt have an ounce of drama, no way are the heroes going to die. no stakes

People needed to be reminded to "never forget" because you know, they were starting to forget
It’s all so tiresome.
According to Hollywood there were only 3 countries in WW2.
US, UK, and Germany.
Sometimes I forget but thankfully Hollywood reminds me literally every single year without fail
We need more films about everyone else, the Finns, Poles, Romanians, Hungarians, French, Spanish Blue Division and too many more to list.
@@Lonovavirbut the Finns defeated their dear Papa Joe Stalin!?!
Gus march philips (Henry's character) and the female star married in real life. Movie was very good.
The files were "discovered".. makes you wonder what other stories were "discovered" years and years after an event is over and no one is around anymore to refute it.
I mean, even if it was shared JUST after the events, it would probably be called either "enemy propaganda" or "over-exaggerated patriotism", depending on its critics.
Hey at least you can argue about the validity of these files
Unlike certain other things that are so absolutely true that you may be jailed for questioning it
As I understand, it's not that the files were recently discovered, it's that they were declassified.
They weren't. The chaser who said that is the same one who didn't know what a u-boat was.
Something that would JAB the world in the 2020s maybe
Like "Pitch Meeting" said about Godzilla v Kong; you had the main story, then another group having their own little episode of Scooby Doo...
Well A story and B story. Like in captain america civil war.
I was curious to the woman’s true story. I found this.
Stewart is an actress-turned-markswoman in the movie, who in real life went on to marry March-Phillips before he was killed in 1942. In actuality, “Marjorie didn’t go out on a mission in Operation Postmaster, but she (had) a key role in planning and putting it all together,” Amel says. “Given that she was actually training a lot of the female spies going behind enemy lines, it would’ve been criminal to not send her out on a mission in the movie to respect and honor her.”
She didn’t feel like a key planner in the movie. It felt more like she was just following orders.Missed opportunity
I found a bit of the “action” to be bland. Too much casual walking and shooting.
I thought the way they tried to shoe horn character traits for the girl by saying how smart she was with basic riddles, "If I'm your brother, but you're not my brother what are you"? "I'm your sister", "Aw, how smart you are!" she had a bunch of scenes where they gave her fake smart lines like that and every character mentions it, it's so forced.
Because hellywood is fake woke bs to force diversity hacks. And they have to prop them up as fake as possible while tearing good characters down to elevate them.
For real, in the movie she’s a mixed race girl while in real life she was white. Why Hollywood is obsessed with race swapping I don’t understand
“Make you think” might be what I want, but “Fun diversion” is what I need.

The thing is, it wasn't really DEI stuff. There were 17 Nigerians on the real mission, but they crewed the tugs (the plan was always to steal the ships) and guarded the prisoners. I don't think the woman was involved, but she was a real person and did other SOE stuff.
that sounds up on alley with current year : not bad, could be better
Grats on the first 2,000,000.
The "three fingers" thing in Inglorious Basterds was borrowed from a 70s war movie- "Eye of the Needle" I think.
I enjoyed it. Had no idea it was out, saw zero promotions for it and maybe that's why it didn't open up big?
Congratulations Drinker.
Congrats, Drinkie. ☺️
At least you got to see it!!
We are still waiting for a release date!
🤔
Congrats man!
I enjoyed this film, but there was a shocking lack of action scenes. I feel like Henry Cavill and the main team barely got any screen time. It felt like Eiza González and Babs Olusanmokun's characters had the same if not more screen time than Henry and his team.
This EXACT story was an Amazon Prime limited series less than a year ago. The scenes in the trailer look to be the same as the series, the dialogue is similar and the series even had the guy/girl romance.
Ritchie does The Wild Bunch meets The Ipcress File meets his version of Man from UNCLE.
aka goes for Inglourious Basterds, ends up with outtakes of Indiana Jones and the colour palette of Pearl Harbour.
The Andrews Sisters had a worldwide hit in 1937 with "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen".
Anyone else find it annoying its supposed to center around violent men in wartime, but then we have the token chick doin her thang in the trailers? It tuns me off.
Wait! So some women weren’t involved overseas in war? This is all some current made up propaganda?????
To be fair- there *were* several official female SOE agents (in France alone, there was more than 40), & several gave their lives to the cause- but as I understand it, they weren't there at this early stage- nor in this theatre of the war. _However_ , civilian partisans & female Resistance members could have been realistic.
It's wrong to imply that women were just like nurses or only on the Home Front; My girl, Nancy Wake, has an amazing story- I've seen the stellar docu-drama on her (which is hopefully still on RUclips), & I'm currently reading her biography -- Guy Ritchie _could_ try & make an SOE sequel, with characters like her- if he wanted...
@OcarinaSapphr- no i get that. The question you have to ask is, why did they put her in the movie?
@@daviru02 Because it's a movie and not a documentary.
You can't make anything set in a period of history now without women or blacks....usually both
Just got out of the cinema...
No character development.. couldn't attach emotionaly to any of the characters...just the last scene made me a bit thrilled about whats going on (didmt felt like any of the characters uo to that point was in any danger...)
Good visuals.. although the last act was a bit dark ..
It was funny...amazing sound design...and just plain fun ...
My wife liked it more than me ...
All in all a fun movie...
"we can't have a film just about guys killing people". Why not? The Seawolves did it. So did Zulu. And The Wild Geese. All great films.
In 2024 you can't..... Those were made in the glory days of no DEI
It'd be nice to see a military movie about something a little unusual. Korean War maybe? Or how about the Battle of Fallujah or anything from the last twenty years that isn't the GD special forces.
Fallujah or Ramadi would be intense. You could have parallel stories like Marines and Blackwater, and it would make sense. Could be Blackhawk Down level stuff. Unfortunately directors lost their balls somewhere along the way.
@@DominicZelenakfiguratively AND literally 😂🤣😂
I do agree with you, but sadl
There’s multiple reasons why WW2 movies are still being made today.
@@TheStonewall117what are those reasons?
But 6 million of the Chosen lost, oy vey!!! Never forget!!!
Well done CD!!!!!
I'd recommend reading the book, by Damian Lewis, and the better book of the same name, by Giles Milton. They both cover Op Postmaster, which is a great story. There were 11 commandos on the raid, BTW, and only one survived the war.
Inglorious Bastards is loosely based on real gents, a fascinating story if you look into it
Funny people keep comparing them, because I had a huge crush as a teen with one of the Bastards (G. Burkhard) and I also have a huge thing with Henry Cavill. I DO have a type.
Was it based on the group that wanted to poison ordinary German civilians after the war as "revenge"? They did a specific movie about that group -- I think it was called "Plan B." Came out just a couple of years ago.
Ok jew ✡️
I didn't like Basterds anywhere nearly as much as I enjoyed this one.
@@fyrchmyrddin1937 bet you did ✡️
It opened to 9 million because NO WHERE is showing the bloody thing!!
Thank Amazon for that. I wanted to watch this in the cinemas in the UK too! Seen Godzilla, about to watch Abigail, but this was the other thing that I thought looked good
@@SpareSomeChange8080 no where in Ireland or the UK. I looked. I wanted to see it on Friday with me Brother in Coventry, and they got 2 major cinema companies and nothing, but they got the magical negros still showing 😒

Cheers!
It's nice to be appreciated, but it's actually nothing saying about me. It's about how good your content is and how accurate you do your job. And all of you gentlemen.
Can’t believe it’s not getting a U.K. theatrical release…
or Canada, thank Amazon for that. They're keeping it on their streaming service. I was looking forward to watching this on the big screen
The song she sings, was written in 1959.
What did the actor from this film they’re talking say that pissed people off?
Congrats drinker 🍻
Later there were Nazi and Soviet propaganda versions of "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen." Because the tune was so popular, even the Reich and the USSR could not stop it, so they made the best of it.
The box office was low because one of actor got political
It was weird how light hearted all the killing was, but I did enjoy it. Strong female character wasn’t too distracting, and strong diverse characters weren’t out of place either.
Guy Ritchie has always been a bit of a guilty movie pleasure for me so try to I watch all his films.
About the actors and their views.
Yes, pretty much agreed.
And if they do say anything, just be aware that there may be blowback.
And really, that goes for anyone in the public light.
Even youtube personalities. There's a few movie critics whom I have unfollowed and unsubscribed because they can't help but always promote their anti - government libertarian conspiracies along with the movie/TV review.
I think if we're measuring success based on opening weekends we may need to come up with a conversion formula because box office in 2024 is not at all what box office was in 2018.
Why does echo Chamberlain sound like a member of the 501st recounting the events clone wars
Read the book by Damian Lewis, the real Special Branch Team were amazing people, real heroes.
Congratulations. Since the director of this movie hates me and is loud about it, I don't want to give him money.
So tired of these wannabe Inglorious Bastards type movies. LE EPIC NAZIS BEING KILLED. Time to give WW2 movies a rest
I enjoyed the movie. It was a fun time.
I can't believe none of the chasers have read the book. It's a good book, and half the things they find themselves wishing for would have been there if the movie had anything except the title in common with it. It's a story about a group of eccentric englishmen who go from inventing things in their garden sheds to building ingenious new weapons, the maverick skilled soldiers who become the commandos who cary out missions they plan, and the Moneypenny like lady who kept things together. I absolutely hate Inglorious Basterds and it's a real shame if anyone in the movie making business thinks that is something they have to emulate, especially when you're making a film that is in anyway based on real people and events.
