      Sadly, he didn't hold himself in very high esteem. Roger Ebert told a sad little story about talking to him in a hotel lobby once (it was actually in his review for Planes, Trains, and Automobiles), and that he was surprised at how much the man was convinced people didn't like him, and that he wasn't good enough to deserve their adulation, anyway.

Sometimes how we see ourselves is not how others see us. i neve rmer him but do remember the day he passed. i was in college and walking up the stairs to class and a classmate let me that he just died. Sad day. John Candy was one of a kind amd he left his mark in our hearts.

  • @jaysonb.6669
    @jaysonb.6669 Рік тому +24

    Fun fact. The studios had actually made the director (John Hughes) cut out close to one hr of the final cut, leaving out extra side plots and dialogue. For ex. 1) the pizza boy came back to break in and steal the wallet, 2) they had actually driven PAST CHICAGO by mistake and 3) his co-worker at the office made it home on time which made the wife convinced her husband was having an affair and Dell Griffith was actually his female mistress. This was why she was almost crying when he actually returned home with Dell. It's amazing the film turned out as good as it did with so much left out.

    I read that originally the movie would have Del explaining that he spent his entire savings on medical expenses for his wife. When she passed, Del could no longer afford the mortgage payments and the Bank foreclosed on his home. So he was literally homeless, living on the road. However the Director, John Hughes cut that scene out, because he thought it was too heavy and depressing for a comedy movie.

    After watching this a bunch of times, I finally realized that Neil’s wife is crying at the end because Neil called her to tell him Del’s story and that she was crying because of it…I thought she thought Neil was cheating on her or something, but it finally clicked.
    Also, Del is in a world of hurt yet he has such a bubbly, happy, helpful person to his core. Neil has everything in comparison yet is a miserable bastard even to flight attendants and car rental clerks who are powerless. You realize that everyone who knows Del helps him out a bit…at first you think it’s because he’s a sales guy with favors, but in fact it’s because people that know him and/or his situation are helping him out from the goodness of their hearts. To them it’s “just” a motel room, but to Del it could be the last warm bed he sleeps in for all he knows.
    What are the holidays for if not sharing a what you have with a humble “freeloader?”

      @thecornedbeefcouncil9792 Місяць тому

      No, she wasn’t crying because of Del’s story.
      In a deleted scene, Neal’s colleague (the guy at the beginning) got home on time and Mrs Page was worried Neal didn’t come home because he was cheating on her (I think it’s meant to be significant that she was asleep when the news on the TV announced O Hare Airport had reopened). Turning up with a very real Del Griffiths at the house put an end to those fears.

He began his political career as a speechwriter and lawyer for President Richard Nixon, and later for President Gerald Ford. He has a side hustle as an actor, having starred in many notable films and TV series including "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "The Wonder Years." He also appeared in many TV commercials. It's a fact in the Library of Congress.

    I’ve seen some of these movies before but watching them with the two you make the experience ten times better! Please keep doing what you’re doing! You are both original, real, and great together! I highly recommend people who may feel down during the holidays discover this channel. Someday there may be a movie of the two of you reviewing movies and the joy you bring to others. Have a wonderful holiday season!

    I always love your reactions and revisiting these films is such a joy. I had the great pleasure of meeting John Candy when I worked on the film cool runnings. He was kind, funny, considerate, very intelligent and also a great dramatic actor as you see in the more serious and melancholy scenes in this movie.
    He was gone so so soon. The day he died I heard it on the radio while I was driving to a lunch with other people who had also worked on the film. That was the saddest lunch. We all just cried.
    Please check out some other great movies, one of which, only the lonely, highlights his great dramatic chops. Comedy is much more difficult than drama which is why so many comedic actors are also fantastic dramatic actors.

    The scene got cut that explains the reason for the trunk.
    In that scene John Candy's character explains that his wife has passed and the trunk contains some of her belongings.
    Steve Martin was upset the scene was cut because he said it was one of John Candy' best performances as an actor.

    I love the bit with the Kevin Bacon cameo, there's some other John Hughes movie from around the same time where you get this scene from his perspective.

    My family watches this movie every year at Thanksgiving as a tradition. Seeing y'all's reaction is priceless. BUT... There's one scene you missed. You have to go to the end of the credits for one final look. Trust me, it's worth it.

    They were both hilarious in this movie. I think John Candy was hilarious in the car when he transformed into Satan; I believe Candy's best movie was Uncle Buck & "The Jerk" for Steve Martin. Candy is missed.

    This is a great movie with many memorable scenes that are true/funny/touching. You get the feeling at the end that Dell will be celebrating the holidays with them for years to come. After seeing it several times over the years, I sometimes tear up at the end.

  • @shanesantana54
    @shanesantana54 Рік тому +2

    One of my favorite movies of all time, so glad you covered this one. Steve Martin and John Candy were incredible. The ending makes me tear up no matter how many times I watch it. This movie nailed it about what Thanksgiving is about and spending time with family.

  • @lich109
    @lich109 Рік тому +6

    A movie you two should definitely watch is Tucker and Dale vs Evil. It's a very funny horror comedy, and it's something you can probably only appreciate after watching films like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th, however you've seen those now, so I think you'll both love it.
    Don't look up the trailer or plot synopsis, it spoils a bit too much, just jump right in, that's the best way to experience it.
