RIP Bill Paxton such a great actor.
Nice moustache.
I really thought Mary would recogmize him!
Well that's great, that's just f#cking great man. Now what the f#ck are supposed to do, we're in some real petty sh#t now man!"
I use this line to this day when thing's are going wrong lol.
@@stylekat 👍💪😄
In a previous iteration, she had told him "Peyton" was her middle name to get him to piss off or shut him up, because she was probably aware - on each iteration - that it would be better for him not to get attached to her the way she did Hendricks. She told him the truth after she realized he already was. Emily Blunt really does a fantastic job of playing this relationship, this 'take it on faith' quasi-romance, in which she only ever knows him for a day but she understands how he feels about her because she's been in his shoes. That payoff line, that she wishes she could have gotten to know him better, is about as far as you can believably take a "love story" in this circumstance, and she nails it without sounding like she's feeling something that doesn't make sense for her character.
Actually I'm pretty sure that was just him guessing middle names every time he repeats another iteration with her hoping to at one point say the correct middle name. That's why he didn't flinch when she said that it wasn't her middle name because he's used to being wrong already.
@@TalkingHands308 Hearing it that does sound more likely, but a damn bit less poignant lol
It remimds me of when I was in sales. The manager knew from certain points of conversation, how to lead the prospective client. She'd done it for years.
Especially when heading into (not actually at but before) objections from the "pitch". It was like watching a Master "Jedi mind trick" someone but i finally understood it in time and have developed the same skill.
The kiss...totally improv on her part.
@@rollotomassi6232 I would be so offended if Blunt kiss me randomly like that, sorry I misspoke, not offended, ecstatic.
Here's the thing about Tom Cruise. He ends up being producer on a lot of his films, so that no one can say no to him doing all the stunts.
LOL, it's literally why he created his own production company
MGM, Paramount, Etc don’t have to listen to Tom, they hire him for movies knowing what his conditions are.
Cruise had some control over TopGun, because the remake required him to an extent that any other new movie can just hire another actor.
I don't think you know how film production works.
Tom Cruise is only a producer in so many titles because he has his cult pushing for that.
@@jsbrads1
They don’t have to, obviously. However, they would also obviously listen to him very seriously because turning him away is ridiculous and they know that.
Here's a great explanation of how he gets away with the crazy stunts, as told by Matt Damon: ruclips.net/user/shortsfcfm294wK-Y?feature=share
"I'm from Kentucky;" think of it as something a Texan would say, "No sir, I'm from Texas." Proud people that tend to distinguish themselves by their home state and, at times, town.
The US is a federated republic, the states united, so there is states vs federal wiggle room most notably adjudicated by the Civil War.
As someone who lived in Kentucky for many years, can confirm. I'll always say I'm "from Ohio", even though I've lived all over the damn place. :D
Really? I honestly thought it meant that in the near future the US had separated. So interesting you function that way now.... Although you're really the weirdest country, so patriotic and nationalistic and yet more like the European Union, a bunch of different nations that barely share laws and have no federal ministry of education, or health, or anything that makes the different states citizens equal in Rights. So technically a country, that uses the name of the continent it is located in, made of different Nations. Such an oddity.
@@carlalussini Well speaking as an American, to be clear our loyalty is primarily to the country, not the state, even those who are fiercely loyal to their state and may say jokingly that they are a Texan or a Kentuckian (as in this case) rather than an American, they don't really mean it. It was meant as a joke. When push comes to shove, in our hearts we are Americans.
As to our laws and given that many regions of the US have a very different view on what is moral, we have a constitution that allows the states some freedom in passing laws that differ from the laws in other states. And it also mandates some laws that all states have to abide to. And that system has worked quite well. it allows sometimes for up to 50 different ways to address difficult or controversial issues. With the most successful generally becoming the blueprint for the other 49 states to follow.
@@itt23r The constitution doesn't "allow" states some freedom. It created a new governmental body with certain powers. The countries of America created the federal government, not the other way around.
There's a reason each individual nation in the US has an executive with a president (called a governor for historical reasons), legislature, and judiciary. Each state is a country, much like the European Union. The difference is that some states left at one point, and they were conquered and forced back into the union where as the EU has an explicit exit mechanism.
Yeah, Tom generally does all of his own stunts. Normally they don't allow actors to do this for safety and insurance reasons. But Tom is usually producing his movies so he has final say and just does it. He is really making a point (and career) of doing his owns stunts.
Yes i read about that in the side documentary on the making of this movie. I kind of dont agree b/c i dont want our actor treasures hurt like RDJ, Bruce Willis and some others i read about. The technology is there to make it look real... but ive worked in the ER and some injuries are just devastating in the long run... even those where every safety precaution is taken.
YES! Correct Tom Cruise does his own stunts. He didn't get hurt in really complicated stuff, but broke his foot in a jump. Like life is, you avoid being hit by a truck but break a toe on a doorpost. :-) Here is some stunt footage from MI movies and EDGE OF TOMORROW, 01:51 is insane, but so is Tom 🙂ruclips.net/video/I720xCnnPUY/видео.html&ab_channel=Insider
Legend has it he also does all his own running!
@@hoon_sol And he really does proper running! I get so annoyed when movies have a character be chased by a deadly monster and all they can come up with mild jogging and looking behind them concerned.
@@hoon_sol Yes he did in this suit, and they hated it. My cousin on was on this production team the actors had to run in 50lb (supported gear) full military dress in California heat. Some actors set the pace on set... Cruise and Blunt definitely proved that during filming my cousin can attest to that. That sweat and deep breathing during takes is real dude. Learn from it.
Oblivion is also an underated Cruise flick. From the same director as Maverick.
i love how movie respects the viewers intelligence. Rita talking about Henricks, he was clearly her "Rita", the person she was teaching her day to and trying to get them through it alive. Its never fully stated but if you understand the idea of the movie you can fill in the blanks. Same with events througout the day, the fight where the 2 squad members jump Cage, we never see the 1st one where they prob beat him up, we seen the 50th+ when he knows what going to happen, it puts the events of the day together in such a smart way.
What, you don't like movies where they freeze the frame every few seconds so a narrator can explain in simple terms what's going on?
@@hoon_sol Pacing is a lot art these days
It's the best SciFi action movie I seen in a long time. The repeats scenes with the subtle inference that it's happened before is perfect. It's loses nothing on re-watching, which must've been a huge labor on the editing floor to add just enough detail without slowing the movies pace. A perfect example was when Cage said Rita "Don't shoot him again" when they went to see General Brigham, perfect writing & editing. Love this movie!
"It's like doing a dance that you've never practiced before while everything's trying to kill you." 🕺😝
You gotta watch "In Bruges" (2008). "I didn't even know where Bruges f*ckin' was......It's in Belgium" -Ray (Colin Farrell)
Okay, my favourite “never heard of that one” recommendation to give is 1997’s “Grosse Pointe Blank” - brilliant little hidden gem of a movie. I also saw someone else here recommend “In Bruges,” and I second that, especially for a Belgian resident to watch!
John Cusack in his prime. Also one of my all time favorites.
In Bruges is a strange, kinda slow movie, but it's good, and it takes the time it needs to take to tell the story.
Regarding Bill Paxton's Kentucky line, some Americans prioritize the state they're from over the country.
And some southern states still don't want to recognise the union after the Civil War!
Twice in a row with the "historical accuracy" comment in the beginning. Made me burst out laughing.
This movie was great cause it kind of DID come out of nowhere, much like in your patreon poll.
It was a semi-surprise hit and was an original way to do the "groundhog day" thing.
Back to back videos asking if a movie about aliens will be historically accurate 🤣
Quite a streak of historic movies... first Independence Day, now this...
Oblivion (2013) is another sweet sci-fi Tom Cruise movie! Underrated gem!
4:10 - Bill Paxton, AKA Hudson from Aliens. "Game over man! Game over!"
This whole movie is like someone using the quicksave and quickload functions in a video game to keep trying a tough section of the game until they finally do everything right.
"Edge of tomorrow"
"Live, die, repeat."
This movie had a issue of sticking with a name for trying to marketing the film. The original name (same name base on the light novel as well) was called "ALL YOU NEED IS KILL". But was afraid that the word "Kill" would not help market the movie. So they wanted to use "LIVE DIE REPEAT" but the studio wanted to use it as a tag line and ended up using "Edge of tomorrow"
The original title doesn't really tell us what the story is about. The same title could be applied to many action movies like Full Metal Jacket.
All You Need Is Kill is just Engrish.
@@3DJapan I can kind of see what you're saying. But It's not just "Live, die" it's "Live, Die, Repeat". It does explain the idea of the movie pretty well once you know it.
I saw a new ad for this movie in 4k. Seemed weird af to me, this movie had been out for how long now? Just now coming out with 4k? And spending marketing money on it? Lol why...
The title issue is compounded by the fact that it's sold on home video as "Live Die Repeat", and the sequel is tentatively titled "Live Die Repeat and Repeat".
Collateral is another slept-on Tom Cruise film. I won't spoil anything if you end up reacting to it, but he's never done anything quite like his character in Collateral.
In one of the Mission Impossible movies Tom Cruise was strapped to the outside of a military transport aircraft as it was flying. No stuntman, he actually did it.
I saw the same interview where he talked about holding his breath.
He didn't do it just once. He did like eight times. He's a legend.
Perché lo guardi?
Mary got hit in the eye with a jockstrap at that bachelorette party.
Its in his contract. Tom gets to ride a motorcycle in every one of his films.
Oh… I thought it was that he has to have a scene of him running very fast 😂
I heard about that movie over and over and over and over, it was relentless.
The absolute best sci-fi action thriller in over a decade.
This movie is weirdly underrated, and not that many people seem to know about it. But I will watch it like five times in one week if I'm in the mood for it and be equally entertained (a lot) each and every time I do. It's like the perfect blockbuster for me. Just the right blend of humor, action, romance, and the acting is really good. It's not high art but it's not trying to be. It's just giving you a great ride, and it's a ride I want to be on.
It seems likely that what made this movie not really do well at the box office is the title. It's not that the title would be a bad title for the movie; it's that the title sounds like the title of a daytime serial (or perhaps a spoof of one). There was a daytime serial titled _The Edge of Night_ and there was another one titled _Search for Tomorrow._ Even though this title fits the movie better than the daytime serial titles fit their respective shows, it makes people think of them. That's why when it was first released on video, they used the title _Live Die Repeat._
Marijke you're so cute. You find out about time control/resetting the day and you want to use it to study more. Hilarious.
I absolutely love this move! I have always been a big Tom Cruise fan, and this is quickly becoming one of my favorites of his the more I watch it.
I've always liked this type of movie. They keep you on the "Edge of your Seat".
Great reaction. Again, congrats.
Mary! When you mentioned Tom Cruise learning to hold his breath, that was actually something he did for Mission Impossible Rogue Nation.
I just recently discovered your channel and have been binging your movie reactions, and based on how much you’ve enjoyed Tom Cruise movies, you absolutely HAVE to watch the Mission Impossible series! You really seem to enjoy movies with twists and turns, movies that keep you guessing, and Mission Impossible is full of that! Plus, Tom does all of his own stunts, there’s some really cool spy tech throughout the series, and I think you’d really love the characters in the later movies especially! It’s a series that actually gets better with each movie (the 2nd movie is the only exception, it’s not a bad movie but it’s the worst of the series).
I think you’d enjoy these other Tom Cruise movies:
Jack Reacher: this movie is a who-dun-it with a dark and mysterious tone. Tom does his own stunts, and there’s some really great and inventive fight scenes. He also does his own stunt driving! This also applies to the Mission Impossible movies. In the Mission movies there are lots of incredible car/motorcycle chases, and he does it all. He’s a professional driver, literally he raced cars for Paul Newman! Anyway his car chase in this movie is great, and the movies throws some twists your way and the narrative is told really well.
Vanilla Sky: this one is kind of unique. It’s a romance, but also sci-fi, and has some CRAZY twists in it that would blow your mind and have you rewatching just to figure out what really happened! It’s a melancholy movie with deep themes and interesting concepts, and watching it is a very unique experience.
Oblivion: this is a fantastic movie. M83 is a great band and they did the entire soundtrack, and it’s magnificent! It’s directed by Joe Kazanski who also directed Top Gun Maverick. The style of the movie is superb, and you’d LOVE watching the behind the scenes. So much of the movie is real and not special effects, it’s incredible. It’s got a wonderful story with awesome story twists and one of my favorite endings ever! It’s a story about mankind beating technology, and I think you’d really appreciate that.
The Firm: this movie has an old-school feel to it that is really cool. The soundtrack is jazz music and it’s so unique but also really works well! It’s a really creepy story and keeps you guessing. And Tom Cruise runs a lot haha!
Honestly, you should just watch his entire filmography. Even in Rock of Ages, which isn’t a great movie as a whole, Tom Cruise is AMAZING. He plays an aging rock star, and he trained for months to learn how to do his own singing and dancing. It’s not a great movie but his scenes are worth watching and you’re mind would be blown! So many of his movies are just fantastic and you should definitely keep reacting to them :)
I am loving all of your videos, thanks for being so entertaining and creating great content! :)
Edit: just got to the very end of the video, and you already discovered that holding his breath was for Mission Impossible. Hope that means you’ll be watching them!
I think what Cruise does best is find great projects, his choices over his career have been impressive.
The “I’m from Kentucky” reference is a phrase that some Americans say to differentiate or separate themselves from the larger United States, usually to make some sort of general or political point. ie: “I don’t have to do what others do because I’m from…..”. The history comes from various States threatening to succeed from the rest of the US due to that States disagreement with some sort of decisions that was made by the Federal government. Texas is usually associated with threatening secession often but not sure if they deserve that reputation. Many States have threatened to succeed and 11 have actually done it at some point in US history.
They say that before the American Civil Ware they United States were described as plural, and after the war mostly singular. The United States "is" as opposed to the United States "are".
apparently Kate Winslet beat Tom's breath-holding record (his was 6 minutes, hers was 7 mins. 14 seconds) when she was filming Avatar 2. wow...that's impressive!
anyway, this is one of my favorite movies. i don't even know how many times i've watched it. i just love it! have you seen Groundhog Day? if not, you should check it out.
Yes, Groundhog Day is a great comedy!
Kate Winslet is going to be in Avatar 2?! Be still, my heart 😍
@@ssicamon1927 Same! The most beautiful woman on Earth. ❤
I think Sigouney Weavers record was longer for that movie. ( I may be wrong.)
Che noia
The Tom Cruise movie you would absolutely love is Far and Away. Romance, history, adventure, Nicole Kidman in her prime, and Ron Howard directing. It's brilliant.
Quando Nicole Kidman era lontana da pazzi come Leah remini cult members Aka dem nazi party bullshit
Hey Marijke. The Tom Cruise 6 minute breath holding stunt happened on Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. There's a scene where he has to break into an underwater vault. The dude is crazy and next level at the same time. I think he adds these insane stunts to pump up the marketing for the movie.
Good morning Mary... I thought I'd watch edge of tomorrow with you I've seen it a couple times already at the cinema... You're always a joy to see
Read Secede instead of Succeed if you're a spelling pedant like me. Sorry, not Sorry 😅
This is in my top 10 sci-fi films. Would love to see a follow up.
Been waiting for so long for a sequel I don't think it's going to happen anymore 🙁
It would be very hard to do a sequel and have it make any sense. The mimics are dead and he's lost his power anyway.
@@KngOfTheBlind Maybe do a prequel so we can see Rita's exploits at Verdun? The mimics would all be still alive and well, and we get to see her experiences with her time-shifts, and all that. The one obvious downside would be that it would leave Tom's character with possibly nothing to do, story-wise, so I don't know...
I love how the little details and how they don't try to hold our hand. PRIVATE Cage and the charge of Impersonating an Officer. He lost his rank quick. And we can glean that there's countless loops to where he can even visualize blindfolded.
great film. the slow build to the moment you realize the pain of seeing each other die thousands of times. it is such an intense moment.
Congrats on hitting 50k !!
Tom Cruise is for sure a weirdo with his scientology cult and bizarre personal life, but I can't help but really respect him as an actor regardless - he is insanely committed and easily one of the best action actors of the modern day.
I don't think Tom Cruise is a great actor despite being insane. He's a great actor BECAUSE he's insane!
28:45 - That was for 'Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation'.
I HIGHLY recommend reacting to the 'Mission: Impossible' movies, 'cause they're truly great spy/action movies (specially 'M:I 3' and onwards).
The 7th 'M:I' movie comes out next year.
ditto. made the same suggestion
They knew Cruise was such a terrible actor they trashed The Mr Phelps to make room for him.
@@beannathrach2417 Tom Cruise is far from a "terrible actor".
I saw that you posted this reaction and immediately changed my plans for the morning! Loved it! Such a fun movie and reaction.
The Omega effect works by maintaining a wormhole open to a specific time. When he blew it up, the explosion traveled thru the wormhole and killed the Omega at both sides of the wormhole causing the wormhole to collapse and reset one last time.
I think...they are going to change what happened for the possible sequel
The only problem is that there is no reason for "the wormhole" to connect to any other point than the beginning of the day. We know that's when the entrance point is - we've been watching it for the entire movie. That the Omega has its own reset point which just happens to be when the movie opened is over-stretching coincidence.
@@wirebrushproductions1001 the beginning of the movie was chosen after the story ended.
Mary, one Tom Cruise movie that will blow your mind is VANILLA SKY (2001 movie), written and directed by Cameron Crowe.
Two wonderful small movies with Brendan Gleeson you would probably like : The Guard with Don Cheadle and another amazing one with Collin Farrell taking place in Belgium and probably in your neck of the woods : In Bruges.
Yes! I second 'In Bruges.'
…and he is amazing in John Boorman’s great true story Irish crime caper The General.
The Grand Seduction. Wonderful little Canadian movie with Brendan Gleeson
In Fuckin' Bruges.
The Guard is such a fun movie
The funny, gory, adrenaline-packed love child of Aliens and Groundhog Day.
Mary didn't see Groundhog Day yet
@@becausethemailneverstops9350 ok. I didn't exactly spoil anything. Nice name, Newman.
@@n0tk0sher FINALLY! You are officially the first person who understands my name.
@@becausethemailneverstops9350 "...and then the bar code reader breaks, and it's Publishers Clearinghouse day!!!" 🤣
@@n0tk0sher Every day it piles up more and more, and you gotta get it out, but the more you get it out, the more it keeps coming in!!!
Please watch the older STAR TREK movies! 🖖😊
I recommend the action movie "Speed" (1994) starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock.
Oh, I forgot that Bill Paxton is in this movie. RIP Paxton. (Died too soon, due to complications after a bad surgery). "Call Me by your Name" was dedicated to him (I always wondered why so I looked it up:) Here are the words of his friend Peter Spears (On Twitter): ‘My husband Brian Swardstrom was Bill’s best friend and agent for almost his entire career. Brian is also the agent of Timothee Chalamet (as well as Tilda Swinton, which is how we all met Luca [Guadagnino, Call Me By Your Name’s director] years ago). ‘Brian and Bill came to visit us on set while we were shooting in Crema, Italy, on their way to Cannes where Bill had a movie premiere."
‘Bill and Luca became friends, as they have been great admirers of each other’s work for many years, and Luca chose to honour his memory by dedicating the movie to him. A very moving gesture for which Brian and I will be forever grateful. Thank you all for asking.’ Written by: PETER SPEARS
Last Samurai is one of his best films ever. Based on historical events but highly altered for entertainment purposes. The acting, not only from him, and cinematography in this is outstanding.
Fun fact…those of us from Kentucky….yeah we don’t sound like that…
But I do appreciate the point being made, no sir, I’m not American (the country), I’m from Kentucky (the state)” 🤣
Usually this line is delivered by “someone from Texas”, so it’s nice of them to let another state represent for a change 🤣
One thing I really like:
Once things were properly explained to them, all of J squad became heroes.
"Cut me Mick... you gotta open my eye" lmao 😂
Regarding 4:15, it’s meant as a comedic moment. There are some people who identify more with the state/region they are from rather than the United States itself, mostly due to cultural and political reasons. This scene was humorously pointing out that the Sergeant considers himself a Kentuckian rather than an American.
Great movie. I really love this one. Another great Cruise Sci-Fi movie is Oblivion. Hopefully they will vote for that one next.
Many Americans have state loyalties before national. If you ask me what I am I would say Iowan first. Born and raised. Go Hawks!
In American it is bachelorette party and in British it is Hen-do. I cannot help but think American women would find 'hen-do' insulting.
Best to not think to much about time travel. Just go with it. The exception to this rule is 12 Monkeys. In that movie it makes sense somehow.
Omega has an open wormhole connecting those two points in time and an explosion destroyed the Omega at both times which allowed the wormhole to collapse.
My favorite "out of no where" movies were "Galaxy Quest", "Megamind", and "Pirates of the Caribbean". I never heard of these movies before watching them and they became my very favorites.
There are some days where... I just live for Mari's laugh ;D It's so good.
the song "This Is Not The End" by Fieldwork caps this movie perfectly 😊
As Dr Who puts it, "It all gets a bit timey wimey" which explains everything.
Edge of Tommorrow is basically like Groundhog Day, but EoT is much more romantic.
Ive always loved "Groundhog day" types of movies but THIS ONE is my all time favorite. It has my favorite genre....Scifi
The original concept of this movie is that the creators wanted to give the same feeling as a video game where you live. die. repeat. :-) So yes, it's got a video game origin.
He does all hist stunts, in his last Mission Impossible he really jumped off a building and he broke his foot, he is really committed
One of the most underrated Sci Fi movies ever
If you're looking for another gem you probably haven't heard about yet, I'd suggest the 2012 version of "Dredd". It's about 20x better than the 1995 Sylvester Stallone version (called "Judge Dredd"). The lead actor is Karl Urban who plays Éomer (from Rohan) in Lord of the Rings. If you want to give this one a try, please make sure you have the 2012 version, not the 1995 one.
@@NateW71 Well, personally, I don't really consider the 1995 version worth watching. But you do have a good point that watching the 1995 version first allows one to appreciate how much better the 2012 version is.
Omg YES one of my faves!!!
I love the optimistic premise that human beings are more than we give ourselves credit for. We are not our rage, not our petty grievances, not our outrage, not our egos, not our ignorance, not 99% of what our lives show us we are. Movies like this insist that we are something more that only comes to the surface when we are pushed to the very limits of our existence and pops the bubble we live in. Allowing us to exist as a true human being, without limits, acting with love and compassion, sacrificing without reservation, capable of real "humanity". It's like a sneak peek into what awaits human beings if we evolve.
For another fun, “what is happening?!” movie, I recommend Field of Dreams.
I saw this movie in the nearest movie theater to Science Hill, KY. We all gasped when he said he was from Science Hill. None of us knew it was coming it was so funny. Of all the random places to pick tiny Science Hill KY. On the "no I'm from KY" line as someone from this area I would say it is because the accent is so obvious of course he is from America. He is just messing with him. We think anyone or at least any native English speaker would automatically know from our accent that we are American. We might as well be carrying a flag.
In America, we have 50 states with very unique cultures. Our Southern States historically varied differently from the Northern States as they focused much more on their individual States as opposed to the country as a whole. The joke is...he identifies with his State, a very 1700-1800s way of thinking . It might be like asking a German if they're from Germany and they say no...I'm Bavarian 😛
12:00 You're right, most actors in the main cast aren't "allowed" to do dangerous stunts because firstly, the insurance is really costly, and secondly, yes, if he or she gets injured, it can seriously delay the production. But Tom Cruise will either be a producer on the movie so he can make the decision himself to do his stunts (like in the MI movies), and/or he'll use his stature to convince the production company to risk paying that costly insurance (like with this movie, where he wasn't a producer). Or in the case of one of the MI movies, he fired the insurance company when they refused to let him do a dangerous stunt, and basically insured himself, lol.
Tom used to do most of his own stunts. He would pay the insurance himself in order to secure a role. Most insurance companies won't enable Tom's policy.
I like Danny Trejo's thoughts on actors doing their own stunts: “We have stunt people who do that stuff,” Trejo said. “And if they get hurt, I’m sorry to say but they just need to put a mustache on another Mexican and we can keep going. But if I get hurt, everybody’s out of a job. So I don’t choose to do that.”
So it's like taking someone else's job.
@@TheNativeEngine Worse. He's saying that he's the actor. If he gets hurt, the whole production stops and everyone loses. You can afford to lose stuntmen.
Yet they finished The Crow after the main actor died, same with many other movies. And many movies where the main actor got hurt they simply shot other scenes while the actor was recovering. In other words, Danny Trejo just trying to make it seem like him not wanting to do his own stunts is somehow selfless but it's really because he's scared to or doesn't have the ability to...
@@TalkingHands308 The Crow is an anomaly to be sure. The way it is shot was heavily impacted by that choice and it wouldn't work for 99% of films. Also it's easy enough to shoot around a blackeye or a cut that heals within a few days (at least enough to be covered by makeup). It's quite something else for an action hero to break their leg for 90 days. That's the entire shooting schedule on most movies.
Not to mention that these days big budget movies have multiple shooting units working simultaneously. Most of the stuff that doesn't use the main actor(s) are done by B and C units. This makes the schedule a lot tighter.
@@trequor You mean like when Tom Cruise broke his ankle and kept filming, or when Kurt Russel sprained his ankle during Soldier and kept shooting, or when Jackie Chan broke his ankle and kept shooting, or when Harrison Ford was injured on set of Indiana Jones and they still finished the film? I mean, I could go on... Stunts are hazardous, but precautions are definitely put into place to make sure that nobody is hurt on them, stunt double or not. In the past when the main actor was injured, they either shot scenes out of order where the injury wouldn't affect the performance or they shot scenes that didn't involve the main actor first and then finished the scenes afterwards. There are definitely things that can be done. Not saying Danny Trejo shouldn't make the choices that he makes, more power to him. That's why stunt double exists afterall. But he really should try to twist it to seem like he's purely being selfless in his decision and make it seem like other actors who do choose to do their own stunts are somehow being inconsiderate or doing other people injustice. Remember that Tom Cruise started his own production company and pretty much every movie that he does he also serves as a producer so he is also personally responsible for the production of the film. A lot of the responsibility lies on his shoulders. I just hate when people try to make themselves sound so selfless and high and mighty. Danny Trejo doesn't want to do his own stunts because he doesn't want to get injured, period. None of this nonsense about how much he cares about the production schedule or people's jobs. The production company is there to plan for all of those things, he don't have to worry about that...
"Scary how like if you think you're not gonna die how dangerous you suddenly become." Mary there was a guy that led police on a wild chase after robbing a few stores and driving wild all over the place. Police said what was strange is he was fearless. When they talked to the people that lived around him they found out he came to believe in reincarnation. He had told his neighbor that life was like a video game, when we die we are sent back again. If you research September 11th reincarnated kids you will see there are some kids that know their previous lives down to their first, last names, and professions. If you found this interesting you should consider watching 12 Monkeys. I believe it deals with this subject in a more academic level by bring things like the Casandra complex into it. In life there have been people that have been exposed to strange events that they later found out could only have taken place if they "traveled" in time. I say "traveled" because some believe time is an illusion and time may really be layered like an onion than a straight line with events along the way. If in fact, it is like an onion then sometimes time may "leak" from one layer to the next revealing themselves for that brief moment to random people. The problem is the Casandra complex. If you saw events no one would believe you anyway. You trying to warn people would fall on deaf ears. Changing the future to avoid events would be futile. This is one of my favorite subject in movies. Groundhog Day started it all. 12 Monkeys, Before I Fall, Edge of Tomorrow, The Map of Tiny Perfect Things, Happy Death Day, Source Code, The Time Traveler's Wife, (must see) and Looper all are about time and how humans deal with it. Its fascinating and really the only way to experience time in this way. By the way, this is the fourth time you've read this comment about these movies. Best wishes.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Primer in your list. It's complex but one of the most 'accurate' time travel movies.
@@Yggdrasil42 That's right. I forgot about that movie. I do remember it, but it didn't have an impact like 12 Monkeys. The roll science played to "save" the Earth from humans made a huge impression.
When Rita killed a blue mimic at Verdun, she started resetting the day and kept dying... she tried to locate and kill the Omega without success w/ the help of Dr. Carter. The last time she reset the day, she beat the mimic army at Verdun, but her injury and subsequent blood transfusion kept time carrying out out of the loop she was in... Without the power to reset the day, she knew that the next battle would be her last as the counter attack was likely to fail w/ the Omega anticipating the future using its time-looping power.
When Cage killed the blue mimic and got the same power that Rita had at Verdun, he experienced the same frustration - could not locate and terminate the Omega. After Rita, the Omega was prepared to find any human who managed to 'steal' its power of time-looping the day... That was how Cage found out that his visions were a trap (like it had been for Rita).
In the end, Cage lost the power after his blood transfusion, but managed to find the Omega's true location using Dr. Carter's device... When Cage destroyed the Omega in the end, he absorbed it's blood and reset the day... Much like he took the power after killing the blue mimic and reset the day every time he died (which was the function of blue mimics) but retained the memories, this time Cage took the Omega's power after killing it.
As a result, when he reset the day a final time, he claimed the Omega's power, which resulted in the Omega dying (which was the power surge detected as a result of Cage's reset)... Without a live Omega, the remaining mimics crashed because Cage does not have the Omega's connection to the mimic army.
When Cage had the blue mimic's power, he was not connected to the Omega or the mimic army, which is why only he could remember after each death & reset... The Omega could not retain Cage's memories, but could only sense that a non-mimic had access to its time-looping power, and set measures to lure the time-looping human out, so that it could reclaim its power and carry on, like it did w/ Rita.
Yes, he does all his stunts in fact if you saw the last Mission Impossible he broke his ankle while jumping between buildings and got up and kept going. He did it so they wouldn't have to do the shot again...lol. Then they had to shut down production for, I think it was 6 weeks, then he came back to finish the film. They showed the scene where he broke his ankle on the Graham Norton Show.
The underwater stunt would be one of the Mission Impossible films.
Recommendation:
Oblivion (2013), another sci-fi film with Tom Cruise.
It's not as good as Edge of Tomorrow, but it's still a decent little film.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski, who also did Top Gun Maverick.
This, Oblivion, and Minority Report are three sci-fi classic films. As wacky as the man can be, he can make good cinema.
This movie is top 3 for me, I think. I've seen a metric ton of movies but yea...still remember watching this for the first time.
The year after this film, Tom Cruise did another scene involving his character needing to hold his breath a long time, Mission Impossible - Rogue Nation. It's definitely my favorite of the series. Rebecca Ferguson makes that film.
For a totally different Tom Cruise film, try Rain Man. It won 4 Oscars.
I would like to suggest Your Name. It’s an anime film from 2016 and is one of my favorite movies of all time. I can not recommend it enough and seems like it would be a new experience for you and the channel. (It does have an English dub if you’re worried about Japanese audio with subtitles)
I know this is over a year later, but you asked, (paraphrased) "how is it that he killed them and wouldn't they know that and just reset the day again?" The answer is NO.
Reason ...and this is key, when he killed them all (blew up the Omega), it stopped their ability to reset time. However, the one who died on him bled out on him just as they all died. Leaving him, at the end, the only surviving "creature" to have the gift of ...reset.
Actually, the question is now ...if he is ever killed in an accident during his entire lifetime ...will he be able to simply...
...Reset !?!?!?🤔🤨
Now that you’ve watched it, I guess it’s pretty obvious that this movie is in fact historically accurate. 🤪 👾
Incomprehensibly underrated movie.
About the Kentucky line, the states used to have more of an individual identity in the US. While a big nationalization effort during the 40’s and 50’s did develop more of a national identity for a lot of people, the citizens of some southern states still identify more with their state than as an “American.”
A lot of Americans, especially in the south, identify more with their state than their country. When he said, “No, I’m from Kentucky” it was his way of saying he thinks of himself as Kentuckian first and American second.
I can recommend _Oblivion,_ which is another very good recent science fiction movie with Tom Cruise.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is an amazing mind bending film.
Mary, CONGRATS ON 50,000 SUBS!!!
And now you are ready for BOSS LEVEL (2021) starring Mel Gibson, where the difficulty has increased exponentially. PALM SPRINGS (2021) has a cute take on time looping too. But It expands on the romantic possibilities of this theme by exploring what happens when two get caught up in it. I think you will love both.
The holding his breathe thing was for Mission Impossible 5 and I think he said it was 6 minutes lol also you're in for a treat once you start watching that great series of films
When the sergeant says he's not an American, he's from Kentucky, this is reflective of some Americans (particularly in the South) who identify first with their state and second (if at all) with the country. It's half-joke, half-serious.
I think that most Americans would agree that Kentucky, like Texas, is it's own distinct country.
Awesome reaction. Glad you enjoyed. If you watch enough of his films you'll realize that in most he's not really a singular hero. He let's his castmates shine.
Sigourney Weaver trained to hold her breath underwater six and a half minutes, preparing for the new Avatar movie.
Emily's character (Rita) is one of the most well-done female characters in Hollywood. No unnecessary sexualization, no feminine stereotypes, not in a shadow of a movie star as big as Tom Cruise. Just a straight-up badass.
They wrote her like a (certain archetype of) soldier, because that's what she is. Her gender isn't really all that relevant to her character, personality, or role. Which is one way to do what you're talking about but isn't the easiest thing to do in practice without swaying too far to the other side of that equation.
and only 35 years after Ripley in "Alien"
She's not made by Hollywood... She was made on the original Manga. :P
You're arguing that body dip yoga thing was necessary sexualization?
@@mobiusflammel9372 that's the point. This side of equation is grossly ignored in the mainstream movies. Just look at Wonder woman's depiction - even though it's on the better side of the lot, her costume is a bit ridiculous for a fighter superheroin.
One way I often this about is this: there are plenty of movies where the lead is male but his role isn't gender-specific. We can easily swap out with a female lead. The reverse is not true. We lack female representation in gender-agnostic roles.
22:55 "Wait, he can make it out without her, but not with her?"
Well, like you said: Rita is limited. For her, every retry is a new experience.
Whereas Cage has done this thousands of times.
This was such a cool movie. Great concept. Like Groundhog Day but with guns and blood.
In English you can both "hold your breath" or "hold in your breath." Typically you use the second one as a directive, but they are interchangeable.
LOVE this movie! Thanks for watching Mary! 👍✌❤
being from kentucky i can confirm its a different world here in some places.
