"Carroll Hall Shelby (January 11, 1923 - May 10, 2012) was an American automotive designer, racing driver, and entrepreneur. Shelby is best known for his involvement with the AC Cobra and Mustang for Ford Motor Company, which he modified during the late 1960s and early 2000s. He established Shelby American in 1962 to manufacture and market performance vehicles. His autobiography, The Carroll Shelby Story, was published in 1967. As a race car driver, his highlight was as a co-driver of the winning 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans entry..."
"Do you like apples?" "Yeah." "Well, I got her number. How do you like them apples?" Fun Fact: The lines in the scene when Sean talks about his late wife's farting antics were ad-libbed by Robin Williams. That is why Matt Damon was laughing so hard. If you watch the scene carefully, you can notice the camera shaking a bit, possibly due to the cameraman laughing as well. Five Year Dream Fact: The very first day of the shooting, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck started crying out of happiness, because it was a scene between Robin Williams and Stellan Skarsgård, accomplished actors, doing Damon's and Affleck's scene verbatim, and they had waited so long (five years) for this to happen. MIT Connection Fact: Matt Damon, a former Harvard student, originally intended to make the title character a physics prodigy. He discussed his idea with Sheldon L. Glashow, a Nobel laureate in physics and, at the time, a Harvard professor. Glashow told him that the premise did not ring true to him: he suggested that the main character be a math prodigy instead. He referred Damon to his brother-in-law, Daniel Kleitman, a professor of mathematics at MIT, who provided advice on the story. Both Glashow and Kleitman are thanked in the credits.
Great reaction. Saw an interview with Matt Damon where he also confirmed that the final line in the movie by Robin Williams 'Son of a b*tch, stole my line' wasn't in the script but they decided to leave it in.
When Robin passed away that bench in Boston Public Garden became an instant memorial and to this day is still a popular place for photos. But what I found most impressive was that Ben and Matt were able to write such a brilliant and layered script at such a young age. They won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, while Robin took home Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role. That Irish pub was the L Street Tavern in Southie it was also used in another movie The Departed.
Ben and Matt had a *_lot_* of help. Rob Reiner, Terrence Malick, etc. The original screenplay they sold to Castle Rock was more of a spy thriller kind of story, which Reiner and veteran novelist and screenwriter William Goldman, who had been paid to help them out, talked them out of.
Robin Williams character isn't leaving Southie or his job permanently...he is going on what is called an "extended sabbatical" to travel, and enjoy a "break"...he also said he was going to see how it goes, in other words he was going to see if he could start up a new relationship with a lady.
Deffo worth a sub mate for recognising how alike Will and Sean were, I think the Will started to understand that when Sean grabbed him in the scene were they first meet,
Thank you so much Terry, I really appreciate that! I'm glad it wasn't just me who was thinking it. Yeah, I think so, that first scene of him grabbing him definitely made him start to realise. For me as well, that boat painting scene was so heartwrenching and the scene where he says "it's not your fault"... I swear, there were onions in the room 😅 Thank you for watching, subbing and commenting!
I know it's cliche, but I love the park bench scene. I think it's still relevant, especially today. People think they know things because of their phones, the internet, the news, social media, technology etc. But life, and this...world, are so much bigger than we realize. Pride is the number one hubris in this day and age.
I would NOT say that Pride is actually the number one issue with today's morality..I would contend that "apathy" is. Most people care little to none for their fellow man these days. Apathy runs wild. The health care system in America is filled with it. Doctors heal, yet many nurses are a breed who are on the precipice of existence these days. Many nurses walk through the required procedures, and policy yet have began to lose the "care" part of health care. COVID, and society's opinion about working has added a lot of this as well. I am NOT a religious man for the most part, However; I was raised in the Church. BUT today, especially in the USA, the Church is more a political body now, more so than being a caring, loving entity...People are worshiping a political figure...they look to the Orange Cheetoh man who they even created a gold statue in one public meeting/rally in reverence and near worship of him (how blasphemous is that?)...and forget what the actual Lord Jesus preached about "love thy neighbor", being God the Father's right to judge not ours, etc.
@@brianmatthews1736 Agree to disagree. Also, the space of a RUclips comment isn't exactly a sufficient forum to unpack such a discussion. All I will say is that, apathy is rampid, sure. But if you dig deeper, it's really a symptom of pride first and foremost. When people think they know something, they feel like they're better than others, prompting elitism, which turns into apathy for those they believe are beyond being able to 'enlighten'. You're kinda making my point by claiming the church worships Orange Cheetoh; that's a pretty broad generalization of something you think you supposedly know.
Carroll Shelby was the designer of the Ford Motor Company's Cobra and Mustang automobiles. Three movies I would like to see SOMEBODY react to are: 'Regarding Henry' (1991), 'To Kill A Mockingbird (1962), and 'Throw Momma From the Train' (1987) BTW, your Letterboxd link doesn't seem to work. Thanks.
Hi Liberty! Oh, apologies regarding the link being broken. Thank you for the requests too, they are now added to my list and are added to the Letterboxd list! The main profile link is correct, but for some reason the video one does navigate elsewhere (which is a weird link). This will be updated shortly! For now, for the link to the requested films list, here's the link: letterboxd.com/movieswithmarty/list/requested-films/ Thank you for watching and commenting!
This may sound strange but Terminator and Terminator 2 viewed as one story in 2 parts has a parallel to this in a father figure that is unusual so say the least.
35:14 Marty, Will rejected the NSA job outright on moral grounds, as shown in the film. The job he temporarily accepted was at Holden & McNeil, the same company he'd sent Chuckie in as his "representative," asking for cash.
Thank you Tracy, yeah, I think I probably will. A few people have recommended that film to me and so it's on my (fairly long) list to watch 😅 I hope you have a wonderful day and thank you for watching!
Do you really think the professor gives a DAMN about anyone but himself? What's going on with him and EVERY OTHER CHARACTER in the film, is him acting like HE'S BETTER THAN EVERYONE, so why do you harpoon Will for that but not the professor? The professor is far worse, dude's a narcissistic sociopath, and the shit he's pulling with Sean in the last fight is called "gaslighting;" got nothing to do with resentment bruh.

My favorite scene in when Williams asks him, "what do you want..you and your bullshit".
It was Shaun (depending on how it's spelt) who said it to Will, but I knew what you meant.

Great classic! Saw it when it came out. Great cast. Love Minnie Driver in this.

The British Silver Haired Topher Grace does great reviews!

I'd like to suggest The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Directed by Terry Gilliam
Also by Terry, Time Bandits & The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
8:50 George Plimpton...

Did you see Moscow on the Hudson?
That is the first movie where I saw how well Robin did drama. Well worth a reaction.
Excellent commentary! Subbed
Thank you so much for the wonderful words, for watching and for subbing Joseph! It's lovely to welcome you to the channel
Have you seen The Martian?
Subscribed, with pleasure.
Ah, i see you have Creepshow 1&2 on your list. Great stuff.
I believe you will like Ford v Ferrari.
Thank you Tracy, yeah, I think I probably will. A few people have recommended that film to me and so it's on my (fairly long) list to watch 😅 I hope you have a wonderful day and thank you for watching!
