- "Charlie's Angels" is a 2000 action film starring Lucy Liu, Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, Sam Rockwell, Crispin Glover, Kelly Lynch, directed by McG, based on the television series. In this video I discuss the film's creative origins, the many facets including the characters, action, concepts, production design, costumes, etc. This is one of my all-time favourites and no one will sway me from singing it's praises.

I am glad I’m not alone in loving the original film series. It’s campy fun, and I just love the angels. I will forever be sad we didn’t get a third movie to round out the trilogy
MIKE I would’ve dissolved into a puddle of emotions if the latest Charlie’s Angels had been these three coming back and showing that they can still kick butt twenty years later but Cameron Diaz is retired from acting and HOLLYWOOD HATES ME. 😆🤷🏻♀️
@@LadyJenevia The Charlie`s Angels made a year ago was awful, I`ve been watching the original TV series which is cosy but corny and sexist.
Alex is the shut down QUEEN and I think I've learned a lot from her. "No. Noooo. *No*."
“Thanks for the offer, but my hands aren’t going anywhere near your staff.” YES QUEEN! 💅🏾✨
Because she was taken. She loves Jason. Plus, she's on the job lol 😂
Honestly, Alex being the one with the best shut downs to men being gross gives me a lot of joy because Asian women deal with a lot of gross harassment from men. As an AFAB Asian, I feel for Alex and aspire for her confidence
I wish audiences weren't so averse to this kind of blockbuster these days - films that embrace pure fantasy without feeling the need to be ironic. Today's blockbusters are either "dark and serious" or irreverent and ironic - almost in a way to apologize for being about something inherently unrealistic or grounded in reality.
It's like people are afraid to simply indulge in the fantasy film provides without the movie telling you it's ok to do so.
Well films were made as a form of an escapism. Perhaps because people dont need escapism because the majority of film audience are well off and have relatively good lives, they may crave darker films as another type of escapism. But yeah its sad
thankyou!
Totally agree, this was a total escape from the seriousness of life.
People now would say it’s unrealistic yet love James Bond hanging onto a helicopter 20,000ft in the air dismantling a bomb
I love when Drew said this is a movie about women empowerment without the men bashing! It really is ahead of its time and is relevant now more than ever. Thank you for doing this review!
I enjoyed Charlie's angels with Diaz, Barrymore and Liu
"Never send a man to do a woman's job" Loved this movie growing up 😄
I swear to you Charlie’s Angels is my childhood in a nutshell 🖤 This movie made me fall in love with female led action films growing up from this to Kill Bill, Atomic Blonde and so on. And you won my heart when you said Alex is your favorite Angel, I always thought I was the only one who loved Alex the most 😁
This movies and the Totally Spies cartoon were my female action fantasy and I love them. And yes the female camaderie was as crucial to it, even more so than the romance. Like look at their love interests they weren't even like the dreamiest guys of that era!!! How can people think this was only aimed at men. Sure, we could argue that trying to dress sexy and the like is a biproduct of sexism and go on a debate on that but it still doesn't change that it was part of OUR female fantasy in the 2000s not just the men's fantasy. WE wanted to dress sexy and we wanted to do it for ourselves not just for men as we're still trying to make people understand today.
100%!!! This Charlie's Angels era really embodied the ultimate fantasy of being able to have it all! Best friends, love, career, and the women are smart, beautiful, have cool outfits, and do these incredible action scenes. 🥰🔥💪🏻
the way also I don't know any single man that watched this movie??? it's just girls
Charlie's Angels and a Full Throttle are two movies, that I think helped shape me into the person that I am now, because as a gay man I loved seeing such phenomenal female leads, who are not only strong but are funny and relatable to other people.
I thought everyone loved the originals?
I recently introduced a friend to both this and Full Throttle. We were both grinning from ear to ear the whole time, laughing at several of the best scenes, and it was just great bringing a newcomer in to this wonderful gem of the early 2000's. This video gave me a further appreciation for how truly great they still are to this day. Thank you.
I literally was obsessed with this movie growing up! The Action, The Comedy, The Camera Work, Destiny’s Child on the soundtrack, just everything. I was 4 years old when this came out and I still enjoy it til this day. 2000’s Era was really something. Take me back pleaseeeeee.....
Watching the 3 of them holding hands during the interviews made my 2000s pre-teen heart so happy 🥰
i never realized that their fighting abilities are reflected by their personalities. wow
Very well done 'documentary '. I miss the 2000 Angels. The film is such a classic.
Thank you very much; it's one of my all-time favourites and I wanted to let folks know why. 🔥🎬
@@LadyJenevia
You should do a follow-up review about the sequel, Charlie's Angels Full Throttle
In my opinion it's underrated and no one on RUclips seems to talk about it,
I feel like the hate it got was unnecessary
@@naquingreen1603 I love both of the films and I want the actresses to get back together to do another one to make it a complete trilogy. 😊
@@LadyJenevia
I agree I love both movies,
They were my favorite movies growing up
@@LadyJenevia
Question: what is your opinion on
The Charlie's Angels Full Throttle strip dance scene,
This is my favorite video of RUclips, FINALLY I MET SOMEONE WHO LOVES THE ORIGINAL MOVIE FRANCHISE OF CHARLIE’S ANGELS THE SAME AS ME!!! *ICONIC* *LEGEND* *SPECTACULAR*
THANK YOU! This is still my favourite video I’ve ever made on my channel. 🥰💪🏻🔥
This was such a neat review. Charlies Angels 2000, I won't deny that I loved it back then and I still love it now. The campiness, the action scenes, the soundtrack, there was just so much to like about this movie if you were in the right mindset and were just wanting to watch a fun action movie. But the best thing about this movie was learning that Cameron, Drew, and Lucy actually did a good majority of the stunts. I remember thinking that they mostly used a lot of stunt doubles to do those action scenes so imagine my pleasantly blown away expression when I came across the behind the scenes documentary and we got to see the actresses actually training and learning the stunts to do themselves. I was mentally squealing and that was definitely the highlight for me with the movie knowing the actually did do a good majority of the stunts.
Anyway yeah, awesome review!
One of my favorite movies ever. It is just so ICONIC. For me it became an important part of Hollywood cinema for an action girl genre or just action movie overall.
As a massive fan of the original Angels TV series, I really admire how the 2000s movie had that light hearted fun vibe as well as an amazing friendship between the 3 leads... something the 2019 film struggled with for some reason.. I also loved that the 2000 Angels were still just fun loving California girls, I didn’t like that the Agency went so international in the reboot
Also a fan of the original TV series 😊! But definitely liked this movie, too; it was different, but I liked the characters (Lucy's character Alex was my favourite 😉). The newer movies I haven't seen, and I don't think I will; what little I saw in clips didn't speak to me.
I highly appreciate you making this video about the legacy of Charlie's angels 2000 that people unfortunately forgotten about.
It's one of my favorite films of all time! 😁❤️
Mine too,I always saw the movie as a comedy masterpiece in action films.
I actually came back to watching this after watching the sh*tty 2019 version. I will.never forgot how funny and amazing this film is.
@@Langley_Ackerman19 I absolutely agree 👍
I was a big fan of Destiny's Child back in the day, and having 'em do their Independent Women song for the movie was so cool. I think the song's music video made me fall in love with female trios for some reason. Destiny's Child, Charlie's Angels, Dracula's Brides (2004's Van Helsing), the Unholy Trinity (Glee), to name a few. For me personally, it would've bin cool if you included footage from the sequel and Lucy Liu's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, but it was still a great video to watch.
Since your video came out, Drew Barrymore has her own talk show now and her first two guests were Cameron and Lucy. She also talked to Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland, where they both shared their views on the song and the movie. She invited her ex Tom Green to the show who played her boyfriend in the first movie, and also talked to Jennifer Garner who was inspired to play her character in Alias thanks to the Charlie's Angels movie.
Thanks for this video! I am a film director focused on feminine protagonists, and I as a gay man I always thought Charlie's Angels was a very feminist and progressive film!
It just occurred to me that they never used guns! It’s so action packed and fun I didn’t even notice that!
If they were gonna reboot it again, I’d love to see Drew Barrymore be given a producer/story consultant role, listening to her interviews, she gets how to make this appealing.
As for who I’d cast, I’d go with Zendaya, Anya Taylor-Joy and HoYeon Jung. They are actually sellable names for a blockbuster
@@captaincanaveral two years later and your casting picks still hold up! I’d love to see that version
I also never noticed the absence of guns
For those of us who were born during the 90s, and didn't see the Charlie's Angels TV show, Lucy Liu, Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz are the angels we grew up watching. Farah Fawcett(RIP), Jacklyn Smith, and Kate Jackson will always be the iconic Charlie's Angels.
I think the 2000s film simply had a lot of love, and was just incredibly entertaining. Behind that were a team of great people who made plenty of good decisions. I think the newest remake forgot about a lot of that, and tried too much to "tell", instead of "show". The whole 2000s film was also a fun love letter to films, and pop culture. As a gay boy I honestly preferred Charlie's Angels to other spy action films. It was so fun, glamourous, goofy, funny in a natural, smart way, you could tell the girls love to laugh, and I really enjoyed the individuality of the three girls and their quirks. Between the three of them they really could do everything.
PS. Alex is also my favourite, if I had to choose. From her smarts to her legendary hair flips to her ability to shut down people's bullshit to her trailer van scene to her constant baking to the way she used the chain to fight to how cool she was sky diving.
I have never watch the 2019 movie, but i want to forget it exist.
The 2000s Charlie's Angels films were my childhood. I would watch them all the time with my dad and my bi ass had so many crushes from those movies. I was probably too young to watch them (I first saw them when I was like 7 or 8) but it was just one of the films me and my dad could always watch together. I remember when the remake came out and there was talk about the sexualization of women I was just like "just have a male angel be sexualized in the same way. Actually, have a female, male, and nb angel but not have those facts affect the plot and boom perfect" my dad agreed whole heartedly. Idk I just remember the sexualization discourse but I just... people like men and women in both masc and fem forms just... I was raised with films about strong gorgeous women kicking ass and just love em
This Charlie's Angels cast hit it ! Empowering women to do anything ! Funny loving great friendship bond between women ! Kicking ass without guns ! I don't think any new Charlies Angels can compare or even come close to this cast ! And that's kicking your ass !! Woohooo !!.thank you for sharing this awrsome video & highlighting all the wonderful things that make these Angels best !
This was the true “women can do anything” movie.
Women can be badass
Women can be villains
Women can be sexy
Women can do dumb stuff
Women can hold her own against men
Women can have weaknesses
None of the BS Women are perfect and can just be badass without any other persnality
Charlie's angels 2000 is easily one of the greatest films of all time. Really is fantastic. I've watched it many times over the years and it's just a classic that never gets old.
I'll do a video essay on it at some point. I've seen it enough times so it shouldn't be too difficult 😅.
It really is!
This essay blew my mind. I thought I knew this film inside and out, but it honestly never occurred to me that none of the angels ever used guns. Just goes to show how unnecessary they are to action. I also never knew that Crispin Glover volunteered to cut all his dialog. What an insightful choice, and how perfect for a film that focuses so much on action and visuals to tell its story. That man is a treasure, and his casting in this film was a stroke of genius. When I first watched it, and realized it was him, and doing his own kung fu and stuntwork, I knew this film was visionary. I'd be really interested to know whose idea it was to cast him.
This film is so profoundly under-rated, I think because it does everything so well, instead of leaning into one statement to the exclusion of others. The very fact that it's such a fun action film confuses some people who might otherwise have noticed how ground-breaking it is as a feminist film. It lets the characters look fabulous, stylish and sexy without undermining their strength and self-determination. It lets them have romances without making their romantic interests the center of their worlds. It lets them be supremely capable without presenting them as flawless know-it-alls that can do no wrong. And the secret at the core of all this is their mutual support, something you rarely ever see in male-let action films.
And that friendship works so well for the very reason you point out, that it was real, on and off the set. When Cameron Diaz talks about their training in the interview, it's so easy to assume her comments about her limited flexibility is actually a humble-brag about her body at the expense of her co-stars. Easy, if you don't know Cameron Diaz. But Lucy and Drew know her, and love her, and trust her. That comes through in the interview, and also everywhere in the film. In the entertainment world, insecurities, backhanded compliments, and constant undermining seem to be the norm. It's so wonderful to see this other side. I think that's a major appeal of the film on its own.
People forget how collaborative film is. McG clearly had a brilliant vision for the sets and visual storytelling, but I think the soul of Charlie's Angels came more from Lucy, Drew, and Cameron, their creative choices, and their chemistry. It feels like the result of everyone pulling together for the sake of the film, playing the improve "yes, and" game to serve the collective vision. I suspect that's rare in the film industry, because just one difficult player can ruin it. Bill Murray came close to doing just that with this film, delivering a serious blow to the on-set harmony. Thank goodness everyone came together to stand up to him, and his prima dona crap didn't derail the film.
I'm sad this couldn't be retained in the sequel. I don't quite know what happened there. All the pieces were there, but it didn't quite come together. Charlie's Angels 2 seemed too eager to spell out what it was about, and that's never a good choice for a movie. Figuring out what a movie is saying is the audience's job. If you explain what it means, we're cheated out of the best part. I With the first Charlie's Angels, the more vocal part of the audience may not have immediately picked up with the film was laying down, and so I understand the impulse to make it clearer. But that kind of reactive film making rarely works out, and usually spells disaster. I think playing catch-up to what you think the audience wants is always a mistake. That's not why we go to the movies. If the artist doesn't know what to do, the audience certainly can't tell them. Artists have to look inward, and trust what they find.
It's also possible that the collaborative atmosphere of the first film gave way to egos in the second, with McG or whoever else vying for more creative control, to realize their "vision," and I get that too. But again, in a collaborative medium, that's a mistake. Too many sequels are killed when brilliant collaboration gives way to power-struggles. Everyone in film chose this frustrating business because they their creative voice to be heard. But when the final product becomes less important than creative egos, you no longer have a film, you have a Frankenstein's monster, a bunch of mismatched pieces of clashing ideas pretending to be a single film.
I'm really glad to have seen this video. It reminds me how much I love this film, and how long it's been since I've seen it. Will definitely have to pop it back in soon.
I really think the fact that it was Drew and her producing partner Nancy that developed the pitch for the film shows in the final result. Even if it’s a “Male-directed female-led action film” the amount of things that aged badly versus aged well about it comes across really well compared to other films from that general time period with that same basic description. Though there are some bad things that have come out over the years (not only the Bill Murray thing, but also producer Amy Pascal having one of her several racism scandals that have popped up in her career - with this film it was how she conducted herself about letting Black actresses be considered for an Angel role), I still hold Charlie’s Angels near and dear to my heart for the fact that it gave me everything I could want to see as an admirer of maximalist art, and made me feel as a child like maybe I could do anything and have it all, just like the Angels. 😇
I love Charlie's Angle's. It was something new, fresh, unique, inventive, stylish, cool, edgy, hip, and updated such as the concept and theme due to it's witty and clever dialogue and humor, comedic moments, emotional resonance, and performance's by the cast. It has this fun, splashy, positive, upbeat, and carefree tone and element. It was decent. To this day I still watch it and I consider it a classic. It never gets old.😍💯👍😎
I too think that it is a great film that knows what it is about and go 100% in everything: color, action, fight scenes.
I also love the characters because they exude confidence and have a great life, great friends, great everything plus they don't need to complain or don't need men to be overly badly represented to shine.
They are better than competent men in the movies and it only makes them look stronger as opposed to many movies were the authors strangely enough feel obligated to show men in a mean spirited way.
I ll always defend Mcgee and drew Barry Moore version, plus it has Crispin Glover in it and 8 love this actor.
Ironically Mc G was a first time film director in this movie while Elizabeth Banks was a third time director....
This movie is literally perfect for when you want to watch a fun action movie
Can we have Charlie's Angels 3?
I just watched this movie a week ago and I've seen it multiple times since. All the soundtracks in the movie fit well, the action was incredible and the colors were great too. Film is all around aesthetically pleasing and very clever. It is truly one of a kind.
I’m very late but so so so happy this video came across my feed !!! Charlie’s angels is one of my favorite movies from my childhood and I’m even happier you spoke about the scene where Sam Rockwell dances cos that scene has lived in my head RENT FREE since I first saw the movie !!! Thank you so much for creating this incredible video about an incredible movie
Thank you so much for watching and leaving nice feedback! This is still one of my all-time favourite videos I've made. I'm always happy to remind people to appreciate it! 🔥👑✨
I actually think McG is a pretty competent dude. Also, Lucy Liu!!
I really like, how you open up my perspectives and let me engage all kinds of movies in a new light. Keep going, I´ll keep watching
MX Bravo That’s so nice to hear, thank you! There’s loads of more things I plan on covering soon(ish), or at least as fast as I can make what’s next on my to-do list. 😆🤷🏻♀️📝🎬👩🏻💻
those 2 movies are everything. I saw them hundreds times haha
Somebody praising the 00’s Charlie’s angels???? I’m subscribing!!!
when i was a little kid, i used to go to bed watching charlies angels on vhs. its an even better viewing as an analytical adult!
I watched this yesterday and the thing that sets it apart from the remake is seen in the opening scene.
In this version the plane scene and introductions set it up as goofy, over the top and fun with characters who don't need to prove themselves.
In the remake they went straight to the 'woman' card in a scene that could be in ANY other action movie. the characters are dressed the same except for one and the actors looked like they were told to ACT like they're having fun but in the this version it seems like they were having fun.
This movie was made for entertainment the other was made with a message.
I'm embarrassed to say I never saw 2000s Charlie's because I was an insufferable NLOG tween but I'm excited to try it now in my 30s!!
Charlie’s Angels is a really good movie. It was the less serious version of the Chinese movie “the heroic trio”. Charlie’s Angels is a movie that anyone can pick up and enjoy watching.
why does this video, this INCREDIBLE and well researched video, has so little views?? RUclips wtf is your algorithm?
lucketmi1 Thank youuuuuu! 😊
This happens to be my favourite video I’ve ever made. I really should be pushing to make every upload be closer to this level of quality but I don’t always have the time to produce everything at this level. 😹
@@LadyJenevia i mean, i rly loved the video and just now discovered your channel, just keep doing you! im a subscriber now
lucketmi1 Thank you so much! Welcome! 😊✌🏻🎬
Cameron Diaz has come out of retirement, c'mon Hollywood...bring back the OG trio for another fun,campy action movie
I would CRY, I would actually CRY! 🥹🥹🥹
I have a newfound respect for all of them. They did most of their stunts and trained for it. Reminds me of the ladies of Kill Bill training for their action sequences. Really cool
Those movies were not geared towards men I don't think, more towards young women. I mean they're "Totally Spies!"
I'm so burned out on comic book movies and gritty action, I'd totally welcome more Charlie's Angels instead, there's not enough on telly or in films that I find fun anymore. Entertaining certainly, but even the comic book stuff goes to dark places and the action is all CGI, I've just had my fill of that stuff. I want more Angels. And more campy Batman, dangit.
Love these films! Drew and Cameron amazing!
22:17❤
I really love this movie and I grew up watching it.
Thank you for the amazing video ❤
Lightcast sends me here...LOVE your work,Keep it up! Already watched ''Charlies Angels,Warcraft, Importance of ZSJL and General Zod''- amazing all of them!
Thank you so much! Welcome!
been waiting for this 🔥🔥
tsuki97 This video has been brewing since last year. It was only a matter of time. 😂🤷🏻♀️
Drew Berrymore's notion of women can be powerful without male bashing is something Elizabeth Banks needs to learn from.
Great movies. These are childhood classics and I hadn't seen them since then until last year. They're a fun nostalgic throwback, the type of movies we don't get anymore! They weren't afraid to just be fun escapism.
Thanks for this - I love the Charlie's Angels movies so much, and also they have been at the beginning of my 15-years-mental journey through (re)discovering movies getting better and better, after mainly reading for decades, and which recently led me to YOUNG ROYALS and Omar Rudberg -so finding you via the last and seeing you also did this feels like returning from Omega to Alpha.
Well then, welcome back! 😊
@@LadyJenevia I regularly move in circles - at best they are expanding and it's more like a dance.
The CHARLIE'S ANGELS movies did not only give me the badass women I had been dreaming of ever since reading adventure books for boys from 12 as an 8 year old girl - but it also seemed to be possible to be BOTH badass and hot, and that love was not for nice ladies with manners only.
While the FOOO lived the dream life of a generation of Partridge Family fans for real (and for reel - so I can watch half a decade later) - I keep wondering whether a group of 15 year old girls could have done something similar.
I am old now, but with the internet I find so much to see and listen to each day, and I even can reply and my replies might be read.
Overtired right now, as I spent much too much time virtually partying at home on my couch with the FOOO instead of going to bed early ruclips.net/video/2sD93JHlH4k/видео.html
After talking movies and Omar Rudberg to you in my mind for 2 hours last night when I could not sleep I came to the conclusion that Omar Rudberg and Drew Barrymore do have quite a bit in common.
thank you for this i absolutely adore these films, i've always thought of them as "guilty pleasures" but actually you've made me reevaluate that!! not guilty anymore, just a pleasure
McG literally said the film was for everyone not just women, not just men.
This was such an engaging review that I didn't browse the comments section until it was finished. Keep up the good work. Defiantly going to check out your other content.
Fuck yes, these movies are so iconic.
love these movies, rewatch them every few years, sam rockwell in the first made it hands down one of my favorite of all time.
Complete and unfetter SHUT DOWN to the critics. Love love love.
My Favorite movie in 2000s! Love these actress!
This was such a great introspection on this film and it’s a great reimagineering of IP franchise due to the sum of its parts.
Thank youuuuu, this is still one of my favourite videos I've ever made and I would love to do more like it but I also know that I don't feel comfortable disappearing for a month (or several months) just so I can do all of the research that goes into making videos as in-depth as this one because I worry about the RUclips algorithms abandoning me when I'm still a smaller channel. 😭😂
I love the work you put into this... You've hit the nail on the head. Subbed
Weird, I thought I’d left a comment on this video. Thoroughly enjoyed your analysis, and a huge fan of the movies!!
I love this movie with all my heart, and people today REFUSE to even watch it because of the 5 second shot of Drew in brown face. Yes it’s problematic, but the 2000’s was a chaotic problematic time, but it was also a fun time. They didn’t think twice about little stuff like that when shooting this kind of film. The ONLY thing I disagree with the film is McG’s choice to keep Bill Murray after his behavior behind the scenes; but it was a different time, and Lucy and McG both GOT OVER IT and kept working! That’s what I love about this movie, it’s crazy fun during a period where people didn’t have the time or energy to be offended by anything and everything.
Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it big time! One of my all-time favourite movies that is not talked about enough.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Man Lucy! I thought you were going to do like a "John Bobitt" on the guy!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE these movies. So glad you think so too.
People: There’s no such thing as perfection.
Me: [throws a Charlie’s Angels 2000 DVD at their head] 😁😇🔥
And the theme song from the new movie is "Don't Call Me Angel" 🙄
Thank you for this! Would love to see a part 2 :)))
I really miss Rosie O’Donnell’s talk show. It was short lived!
Okay, so I'm learning for the first time that people hated the original. I've always thought it was a fun light-hearted classic... Like how can you hate on this???
Like I've thought for all this time that the new one bombed cause it did such a disservice to this one. The new one was tacky and it just filled me with rage.
Right? I always had a fun memory of this franchise. It inspired me as a kid from a third world country. It boggles me too
There is a hope for this long awaited third installment drew Barrymore got asked it lucy liu and MCG even got asked about a potential third one and won’t be surprised if Cameron Diaz is next to be asked it like heck if they bring back scream and the OG ghostbuster there’s no excuse for them to not give us the third film to Charlies angels with Cameron drew and Lucy kicking ass once again
Why did this make me cryyyyy. You are correct, peak cinema. Thank you!
Also , Demi Moore did an absolutely amazing job portraying Madison Lee , the fallen angel.
"I was never good. I was GREAT." lives in my mind RENT-FREE!
@@LadyJenevia I loved that aspect of her character , a broken woman because there’s a lot of them out here
People saying "it was made for men" is extremely confusing to me. A LOT of men don't really care for the franchise at all? It was clearly made for women and female empowerment. Before these films, they didn't have action movies for women. It literally opened so many door for actresses and the film industry in general. Like... what?? It was made for men how?? Because they're s3xy and sometimes wear s3xy clothes?? That must be just some bitter people not understanding a woman *CAN* be beautiful, s3xy, strong, and smart all at the same time for some reason?!
A women can be s3xy and also a total bad🍑, its not a crazy concept.. 🤷🏼♀️
Also, the whole "no gun rule" is soooo cool and something I didn't even notice until the second film. I love what it adds to the films and I love why they did it! I was a very young girl when this came out and idolized them! The last thing I thought of when pretending to be an Angel as a child is getting a fake gun!
Something that's important to note when 'men' begin to take oestrogen if they choose to transition to female presenting, they find that they see colours more clearly. Surely that relates to other personality and creative details in a person, including the Charlie's Angels characters
I’ve said this many times. In the industry, the amount of times older women have expressed their concerns about no longer being cast at a certain age, imagine the chance we could have had to finally test this out and complete the trilogy with the original three. Who cares if they’re “too old”? They are still gorgeous and badass. Also the fact that Elizabeth Banks has said pretty nasty sexist stuff about men in general BEFORE she got the rights to the project was a HUGE red flag. The original movie is loved by all sexes and ages. It’s a love letter to Technicolor, there’s just the right amount of action, humor, sexyness… It’s always a fun ride. I’m never bored when I watch the movie. It’s so beautiful in 4K ❤️. 17:33 Drew’s statement is EVERYTHING i’m talking about.
"It really hurts."
"I know."
🤣🤣
These are my fave Angel’s, I still have their doll’s, to this day Nat is my faaaave tho
You did such a good job on your video. Great job!!
seen this in a movie cinema, with my girl friends... memories
I will always love Cameron, Lucy and Drew
I absolutely loved Dylan as a kid, she reminded me of what I could become coming from a family of all males, it was comforting to see a hot young lady that knew her shit, could drive monster trucks and do masculine things but also be super seductive, I loved her so much as a kid and I believe this was peak Drew Barrymore for me. She will never get any better than in the Charlie’s angels franchise lol
Hello Can you help me to find the links for all movies of the charles' angels that i can also download them in my phone all episodes...I really appreciated if you can do it my favor.. Thanks
Charlies Angels 2000 are the best. Period.
you should make documentaries! this made me want to see the movie again and appreciate every part
Thank you!!! ☺️🙏🏻✨
I haven’t done as many videos that are in-depth as this one though. The other one that came close was my Knives Out video essay which I had to cut into four separate pieces because I could NOT get RUclips to let me post it while because of copyright blocks. 😅🤷🏻♀️
Hey Lady Jenevia I have a question unrelated to this video but I desperately needed your attention. So once Zack Snyder said something along the lines of, " your view by virtue of it being solely yours had unique value. That's like your selling point." Something like that. It was about how individual experience means you have something new and worthwhile to bring to storytelling. Do you know the exact quote or where I could find it possibly?
Joseph Bapeck No idea. I don’t watch as many interviews as others since I can get sick of them very quickly if I don’t like how they’re being conducted. 😂
There’s probably stans on Twitter, Vero, etc. that have more of an encyclopaedic knowledge of his interviews. I’m not the right person to ask about that. 😆
@@LadyJenevia okay. Thank you for your quick reply 😊
this movie was my whole childhood...looking back its no wonder i grew up to be gay as hell
LOVE 😄🎬🔥
Ik this is gonna sound cheezy, but I want to be smart and clever like them, and have super tight knit friendships like them lol.
I’m sorry but I have to say they are literally like the powerpuff girls…
Natalie- Bubbles
Alex- Buttercup
Dylan- Blossom
I only watched the film a few nights ago, it's good fun
The 2000s angels are awesome!
