This movie being titled “Hook” was brilliant. Not “Return to Neverland” or anything centered around that. The truth is, Captain Hook is the main character here. He represents what Peter Pan really is. He may be in an adult body, but Hook is very much a child who just wanted attention from parents, like Peter. Peter decided to grow up and move on, even becoming a father, but Hook stayed in Neverland simply desiring more adventure. He is the real Peter Pan because he refused to grow up. When he dies, he even cries out for his “mommy.” In essence, this entire movie is about facing life instead of hiding in a fairytale world. Hook is the boy who has lost touch with reality because he runs from his problems, and Peter is the boy who faces his own challenges. Everyone has to grow up sometime. But not Hook. He stayed the way he was, constantly in fear of death coming closer and closer. He even stayed “I hate living in this flawed body.” He was afraid of growing up and growing old. Peter Pan, a 10-year-old, is the only one who made him feel like a child again. So without him, Hook grew depressed because he had to face reality. The reality is, without Pan, there is no childish adventure. You have to grow up. Hook would rather die…yet, because that is his fear, he has Smee stop him right before he commits suicide. Then, his mind snaps back into his fantasy world, as he blames SMEE and asks Smee if he is some sort of sadist 😂. That’s something only a child would do, and Smee knows it. That’s why Smee, in order to cheer Hook up, asks him what? If he wants to PLAY with his TOY ships! Smee has to treat Hook like a child. Like he is Alfred to a spoiled brat Bruce Wayne. Hook is the real Pan!
Especially funny when you consider - at the end of the movie - it's revealed that he HAS aged - he HAS gotten old - because he kept going back to the real world so many times looking for Peter Which explains why he's so desperate to hurt Peter one last time AND why he's suicidal by this point - because his hunt for Peter, his desperation for revenge, not only cost him his youth (from traveling back and forth so many times) but the revenge is ultimately pointless because the Peter he's found isn't even WORTH it xD
I think a simultaneous symmetry and asymmetry between Peter Pan and Captain Hook is established early on in the film. Their first, most obvious (albeit metaphorical) comparison is found when the elderly Wendy jokes that, "Peter, you've become a pirate" on hearing from Jack that, "any resistance and [Dad] blows them out of the water" in his capacity as a corporate lawyer but they are contrasted in that only one of these two "man boys" has been able to move on in any meaningful sense- even while neither of their respective forms of "piracy" seem to bring them any satisfaction as evidenced from Hook, most explicitly in this scene, but also from Peter's point of view in any situation where he is shown talking to a colleague or client on a mobile 'phone. (Peter even has his own "Why doesn't somebody just shoot me in the head?" moment, irrespective of whether he means it, in one such 'phone scene, as another connection with Hook.) That is why Hook's first impulse, on seeing Peter as an adult and realising that he remembers nothing of his youth, is simply to "cancel the war [against Pan]" despite his spending decades of preparation for it. His problem there, as here, is not that his enemy is not Peter Pan. It's that he's not *his* Peter Pan. True, Hook has had his moments of triumph here and there as time has gone by: it is notable, for instance, that the adult Peter's memory is not stirred at all at the beginning of the film when we see him watching his daughter in the role of Wendy in a school play about his own childhood and yet when he enters the real, adult, Wendy's nursery for the first time in years and sees a painting of Hook in a boat he feels a sudden, unaccountable chill- an accidental, if private, psychological victory on Hook's part, if nothing else. Hook has also overcome his other enemy, the crocodile (or has he? Its sudden, mysterious resurrection towards the end of the film if it really is dead, just so it can eat him when he loses his duel with Peter, is ambiguous, but I think Spielberg just about gets away with it) and displayed the reptile's stuffed body for all to see, so that none dare dispute his status as pirate captain and ruler of Neverland's oceans. Here's the problem, though: the tragedy of pursuing what you always wanted is that you might get it one day- and in all the wrong ways. With Peter gone (first literally, when he went away to become an adult and then symbolically when he returned but didn't remember who he was) Hook has nothing to drive him and with the crocodile supposedly dead he has nothing to fear except Time itself: he's lost the source of its reminder, but not the memory itself. There is no rival to his power now, no challenge for him to overcome, nobody he can possibly impress. He even despises most of his crew aside from Mr Smee as "stupid, sorry, parasitic sacks of entrails" (spoken playfully to receive a laugh, it's true, but it's clear he also means it) because they're not a threat. Furthermore, even whilst he remains "frozen in time"- to the point of destroying every clock he sees despite its being a throwback to more exciting, if also more dangerous, days- it is made clear, when at last his wig comes off, that his ongoing brooding and repeated journeys to Earth in search of Peter and his children has reduced him to the status of a frail old man- though with the ongoing petulance of a child. That, I think, is why he leaps so suddenly in this scene onto the idea of "making Pan's brats love [him]." Quite aside from the obvious appeal of poisoning their minds against his old enemy, grooming a child into becoming a pirate (and Jack in particular represents another kind of "lost boy" in his own way) would be the closest he could ever come to true immortality and of having more purpose in his life even if he did manage to kill Peter.
@@Extra_050 In a similar vein, someone jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge a few years back and survived. When asked about it later, he said, "Halfway down, I thought it was a bad idea".
I always love what Captain Hook says about wanting to try to defeat and kill Peter Pan once and for all, that which is: He'll Crow, he'll fight, he'll fly and then he'll die!
There's so many layers to this scene I never appreciated it as a kid I just thought it was magical. The nihilistic comedy, the quite disturbing evil of manipulating kids put across lightheartedly... just brilliant.
"Lightning, has just struck my brain." "That must hurt," Honestly, the sarcastic delivery is just perfect. It makes me realise I've grown up more like Hook than any other villain.
In the original Nick Castle script on the movie that was written in 1989/1990, in the final battle, Hook's ship was supposed to be caught on fire and sink towards the end of the final battle, i believe that this scene of toy ship sinking was originally supposed to forshadow that scene if Nick Castle directed the movie instead of Spielberg.
Hooks quarters is gorgeous! Beautiful gold and black furniture, with elegant red velvet curtains, along with that bed of his complete elegance. Finished off with with wood panels and the tiniest nicknacks! Whoever came up with the design of hooks cabin is a genius. This girl would have loved to see this in theaters when it first came out!
I didn't get to see it in theaters but i had a family friend who would watch me as a kid and she owned it and I must have watched it millions of times when ever I came over she what put it on for me it was my favorite movie growing up still is one of my favorite movies
I modeled my room in a similar fashion and it was like a palace. It's Soo worth the time and effort. I watched this and pirates of the Caribbean as well as medieval movies for inspiration. After work in my mundane life I escaped to this with a golden metal dish of sweet and sour candies 🤤
Honestly, this movie showed the darker side of Neverland. To a child, living in a place where you don’t age and your imagination can make almost anything possible, this place if the closest thing to heaven. You never have to grow up, and every day is a new and exciting adventure. But to an adult like Hook, Neverland is hell. Staying in the same body, with all its aches and pains of advancing age, and knowing that it’s NEVER going to end. And every day is the same as the one before it, a depression, tiresome routine that after countless experiences they all just blur together to you. It makes sense why Hook wants to die. It’s the only ‘great unknown’ that he has left in his life.
Reportedly Bob hoskins (smee) and Dustin Hoffman (hook) interpreted these characters and their scenes as a homosexual couple which Steven Spielberg unfortunately had to step in and say to the duo, "THIS IS A CHILDRENS MOVIE!!!, They're NOT GAY!!!" ☝️😂🤣 ...I think Dustin Hoffman's drag queen days must of influenced him a little too much in my opinion lol
It was like that because Steven Spielberg lost more and more confidence in the film as it went on he felt the only way to save himself was to go bigger and better. Being self-conscious and second guessing himself may have very well made this movie what it is today. Personally it exceeded my expectations and after watching this I thought the Disney cartoon and truly any iteration pales by comparison to the movie hook. It's a strange what if story in essence that explores a mysterious past like no other in a mythological way! The film is damn amazing and many would agree especially today I think 👍
haha, this movie is great. As a child, I couldn't fully appreciate that Hook was played by Dustin Hoffman, but as an adult, that fact makes it so awesome. He's one of the greats.
I think John Williams score for this scene clearly captures how insane and desperate Hook is at this point! Hes become an old man just waiting for Peter to return and the fight that he so desperately wants! I'm not the biggest peter pan fan, but I love this take on the story!
Man the set design on this show was _amazing_ Nowadays people take these kinds of elaborate scenes for granted, since they're all done with computer graphics. It makes you appreciate looking back at shows from the "before times", back when everything was done meticulously by hand.
Ohhh, that dinner table's calling my name! Wouldn't mind a peek at that liquor cabinet either, nor a spot by that fireplace! Such decadence to go with a completely brilliant scene! Perfect!
You know Smee was testing all the food that might have been poisoned right? Imagine the years stuck in Neverland you'd think some of the pirates would be sick of Hook crap and try to kill him.
@@jackbuchanan9085 I think it was a kind of 50/50 split where he was taste testing, but also had an excuse to pig out on Hook's food. Like how he ended up yiping the entire drink from Hook's nightcap, leaving him with the umbrella! I guess Smee figured if he had to put himself at risk, he may as well live it up! Heh, I love Smee, he's nothing if not pragmatic!
@@vulpixfairy1985 Right? I think it's just the thought of how good it all looks! Even if we just ate, it's hard to resist the siren song of a smoky turkey leg, fresh baked bread, crown rack of lamb, a colorfully decorated cake and all the other goodies on that table!
What are you some kind of sadist😆 🤣 😂. Every single thing in this movie is just perfect. Enough child humour and adult humour for everyone. It's not hard to see why this film is still so loved.
This movie was made by it’s amazing actors. Dustin Hoffman, brilliant in this scene. Bob Haskins - amazing. Robin Williams - truly sublime. The actors are reason why this movie was so amazing.
"I mean... What would the world be without Cap'n Hook?" "Endeed good form Smee. What would the world be like without Captain Hook!" "There you go" *Big smile* Awesome sceen, arrrh!
Let’s see….Based on the lack of sound or motors, it looks like it would work off of counter weights. 1/4 inch steel cables and a pulley system all controlled by a free spinning wheel system. Really, the hardest part here is going to be the actual mechanism and synching up all 4 corners of the bed to decend simultaneously. I’m thinking a central spindle of cable connected to the spinning wheel via a gear and a chain at a 1:25 ratio. The spindle would carry all 4 reels of cable on a central axel. I think you might also want the spinning wheel to have a friction baring as well to limit the speed at which someone can spin it so the bed doesn’t drop like a rock and bounce around on the stiff cables when it bottoms out. Let’s talk weights. The bed itself will have to weigh a certain amount to put tension on system to bring the bed down. However, assuming you want the bed to go back up, you will need a counterweight to prevent it from always wanting to come down. This counter weigh would be attached to the spindle via cable and would have to be precisely weighed to prevent the bed from always trying to pull the user into the ceiling. Well, it’s not impossible. I bet the Hacksmith could do it.
Next time I do an audition for any acting parts, this scene and the awesome scene of Tim Curry from the Three Musketeers, the “That can be arranged!” segment would be my go to scenes.
When I was little, I knew Peter was Robin Williams, but I didn't know Hook was Dustin Hoffman and Smee was Bob Hoskins. RIP Robin Williams and Bob Hoskins.
in italy hook was voiced by a top class voice actor that is sadly no more with us, i never heard the original and i must say hoffman's voice in this is genuinely creepy
Captain Hook is like “Don’t try to stop me smee, don’t try to stop me smee don’t you dare try to stop me. Try to stop me” I’m like - make your mind up mate do you want him to stop you or not.
Hook came up with a plan, with Smee's help, to exact his revenge against Peter Pan by turning his children against him but at almost to the end of the movie, that plan blew up in his face. Nice try, Captain Hook!😏😌
to keep being COMPLETELY honest i am were and/or PROBABLY will be a WEEKLY cigar smoker and i LITERALLY never have or will smoke indoors UNLESS it's a place like a low bob's tobacco that did does and/or PROBABLY will ALLOW indoor smoking
I thought that reading the book after growing up on this movie would sour my experience, but it hasn’t. The real Peter was no where near an angel, and Hook wasn’t actually as bad as portrayed in the zeitgeist. That translated well into the movie for me. Young Peter was an awful little thug, but he got redemption by forgetting everything and getting a redo. Hook, having longed for vengeance on Peter for his entire life, finally gets a chance to, and then has to contend with Peter remembering nothing about why he hates him so. You can feel a lot of subtext if you know the background, so I recommend reading it. I swear only Dustin Hoffman could capture a complicated character like this and make him real without being just a caricature. Can you imagine the rage of someone forgetting what your entire life has been about? I can’t really blame Hook for going homicidal. And I still to this day in my head will say “I’ve just had an apostrophe.”
I was always so disturbed as a child by Smee rubbing his earwax into Hook's mustache 😆 Still kind of gives me a weird feeling in my stomach. But, that aside, this is truly one of the best films ever made. And being a child while there was a Robin Williams out there making movies for you to love was a quite a special experience. Thank goodness Robin Williams lived in a time when so much of his magic could be caught on film so that many future generations can enjoy his brilliance
I thought they did an amazing job with Hook's actor here. When I first saw him I saw his character from Disney Peter Pan. This movie was also the first time I seen Robin Williams.

Hook: "Smee you better get up off your ass" "This is not a joke, I'm committing suicide!"
Sounds so british XD
I don't think that's a good idea, because committing suicide is one of the things I will never do for as long as I live!

Didn't realize that either until recently.
It's hard to recognise Dustin Hoffman, the guy who plays Captain Hook. His voice, obviously his identity.
He's an incredible actor.
I didn't even recognize him the first time I saw it after I already knew of Dustin Hoffman.
I think this level of acting that era of talent will never happen again.. I don’t appreciate it till now Top Tier level no doubt
To me it looks funny, when Smee grabs the gun from Captain Hook and mistakenly shoots at the toy ship! It kind of makes me laugh too!😆

Let’s talk weights. The bed itself will have to weigh a certain amount to put tension on system to bring the bed down. However, assuming you want the bed to go back up, you will need a counterweight to prevent it from always wanting to come down. This counter weigh would be attached to the spindle via cable and would have to be precisely weighed to prevent the bed from always trying to pull the user into the ceiling.
Well, it’s not impossible. I bet the Hacksmith could do it.

Best version of Hook ever.
The sets were incredible!! And John Williams’ score was its usual brilliance
It took me years to realize it was Dustin Hoffman as Hook.hahaha
0:39 That line delivery....shiverssss
When Master Shifu was a villain.
"IM NOT DYING YOU IDIOT" 😂
He’s still turning even tho the belt is off LOL
Now that’s a lesson Comedy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Abso-floggin-lutely
No other film has brought the magic of Peter Pan and all of Neverland so vibrantly to life like this one. It's one of Spielberg's best, in my opinion.
Dont ever frighten me like that again! What are you, some kind of sadist? LOOOOOL
You have no idea how shocked I was when I learned that Smee was also Eddie Valient. Rest in peace, Bob Hoskins.
it's nice to meet you and please read my comment
Next time I do an audition for any acting parts, this scene and the awesome scene of Tim Curry from the Three Musketeers, the “That can be arranged!” segment would be my go to scenes.
So camp! Absolutely love this movie as a child and as an adult. 'I'm trying to commit suicide, Smee!'
I wonder if Bob Hoskins just made it up to put his fingers in his ears and wax Captain Hook's handlebar. Lol
I've said it a thousand tunes, but I'll say it again: we didn't get nearly enough of Dustin Hoffman as Captain Hook.
I've just had an apostrophe xDD
I think you mean an epiphany.

Dustin Hoffman was brilliant in this film.
“I’ve just had an apostrophe.” “I think you mean an epiphany.” 😂
I always loved this scene
When I was little, I knew Peter was Robin Williams, but I didn't know Hook was Dustin Hoffman and Smee was Bob Hoskins.
RIP
Robin Williams and Bob Hoskins.
Also the pirate they throw in the boo box is Glenn Close. She really, really wanted to be involved in any way because it looked incredibly fun
in italy hook was voiced by a top class voice actor that is sadly no more with us, i never heard the original and i must say hoffman's voice in this is genuinely creepy
2:36 "Rock a bye captain, in the rough seas, when the wind blows, the ocean will freeze..." 😂
“What? Where are you going? Are you getting dramatic?”🤣🤣🤣🤣
Captain Hook is like
“Don’t try to stop me smee, don’t try to stop me smee don’t you dare try to stop me. Try to stop me”
I’m like - make your mind up mate do you want him to stop you or not.
What an incredible film. Hook is Citizen Kane.
Both Hoffman and Hoskins were BRILLIANT in their roles 🤣
Hook came up with a plan, with Smee's help, to exact his revenge against Peter Pan by turning his children against him but at almost to the end of the movie, that plan blew up in his face. Nice try, Captain Hook!😏😌
That piece of prime rib Smee knawed on looks fucking delicious!
it's nice to meet you and to be COMPLETELY honest i am were and will be a COMPLETE vegetarian and i did do and will say SCREW meat leather and fur
to keep being COMPLETELY honest i am were and/or PROBABLY will be a WEEKLY cigar smoker and i LITERALLY never have or will smoke indoors UNLESS it's a place like a low bob's tobacco that did does and/or PROBABLY will ALLOW indoor smoking
The voice of Hoffman is great.
I thought that reading the book after growing up on this movie would sour my experience, but it hasn’t. The real Peter was no where near an angel, and Hook wasn’t actually as bad as portrayed in the zeitgeist. That translated well into the movie for me. Young Peter was an awful little thug, but he got redemption by forgetting everything and getting a redo. Hook, having longed for vengeance on Peter for his entire life, finally gets a chance to, and then has to contend with Peter remembering nothing about why he hates him so. You can feel a lot of subtext if you know the background, so I recommend reading it. I swear only Dustin Hoffman could capture a complicated character like this and make him real without being just a caricature. Can you imagine the rage of someone forgetting what your entire life has been about? I can’t really blame Hook for going homicidal. And I still to this day in my head will say “I’ve just had an apostrophe.”
1 of the few times attempted suicide has been funny 😂
"Don't you dare to try to stop me Smee, try to stop me Smee" 😂😂 (You don't need Smee, you can simply change your mind 😝)
"Don't you ever frighten me like that again. What are you? Some kind of sadist." I didn't catch that one as kid.
im sorry i'm sorry how'd you feel now
bound by my indefatigable good form to WAIT!!
Dustin Hoffman doesn't even LOOK or SOUND like himself! AMAZING!
hook and his crew did tick tock dirty 😭😭😭
I would kill to live in that room
My favorite movie clip😂😂😂😂
I remember being terrified of the Cpt.
0:50 - 0:55
MMMM This mouthwatering piece of meat is making me hungry!
“What would the world be like without Captain Hook.”
This is such a mood
Damn I love this scene, it's funny, interesting, warped, there's so much going on!
'Don't scare me like that again smee. What are you? Some kind of sadist?'
My Childhood 🥹❤
smee and hook, what sweet adorable roommates
Captain Hook is my favorite film character, played by Dustin Hoffman ever!
Just the fact that Hook claimed Smee’s idea as his at the end is brilliant 😂
This scene is great 😂never understood the dark humor as a child. Definitely the greatest of all Peter Pan movies.
4:22 the forbidden moustache wax.
"what are you? some kind of sadist?" 😅😅😅😅
Brilliant. Fucking brilliant. Hoffman is method without us realizing it.
“I’ve just had an apostrophe!”
Epiphy-what? hahaha
Don't try to stop me smee, don't you are try to stop me, stop me smee😂What are you some kind of sadist?
Hook’s laugh is so contagious!
I love how much attention Smee pays to Hook.
I love Robin Williams, but the best parts of this movie were when Hoffman and Hoskins are on screen.
Is it me or is the food making me hungry as fuk
02:08 When Hook reprimands Smee for almost failing to stop him from shooting himself lol
Ab-sa-flogginglutely...
I was always so disturbed as a child by Smee rubbing his earwax into Hook's mustache 😆
Still kind of gives me a weird feeling in my stomach. But, that aside, this is truly one of the best films ever made. And being a child while there was a Robin Williams out there making movies for you to love was a quite a special experience. Thank goodness Robin Williams lived in a time when so much of his magic could be caught on film so that many future generations can enjoy his brilliance
i think i just 'ad an apostraphe!

Out of all the captain hooks that have been played, Dustin Hoffman was the best in my view
I thought they did an amazing job with Hook's actor here. When I first saw him I saw his character from Disney Peter Pan. This movie was also the first time I seen Robin Williams.
Dustin Hoffman is really having fun with his character here.
