This scene is so powerful because alan probably thought his father didn’t love him enough or didn’t want his son to disgrace the Parrish name. Then you find out he cared more about his son than his own factory or the name.
One thing people also forget, is on top of how hard it was to lose his son, he had to deal with all the rumors of him being a child murderer too. Sure maybe the "his father killed him and hid him in the walls" was for laughs and mystery, but in the real world such a rumor would go around the whole town and beyond.
I think to his father the rumors didn't matter. I think his father blamed himself all those years thinking he made his son run away. I think even the mum might have blamed him at times but obviously it would have resolved. Think his father just beat up himself over it. Kind of sad to see also the year they both passed away due to their sadness.
We followed a child’s perspective. His father with strict, stern, didn’t seem to care, or try to understand. But deep down he really did love his boy more than anything in the world. This is one of my favorite movies for this reason lol.
@@PyramidHead6 Even that doesn't make much sense, because why would he be spending great time and money trying to look for him? Likewise his wife would have left him if she thought there was any hint of it.
Alan was also upset because the last time he saw his father, they were fighting. His father no doubt felt the same way and he thought he forced Alan to run away from home. By 1976, Alan must've been declared legally dead. I bet that also upset both his father and his mother. You never realize how much you love someone until you've lost them. Since his parents put all their money into trying to find Alan, they probably couldn't afford medical help or maybe they just died of depression. Alan later goes to the cemetery and sees that both his parents died a few months apart in 1991. But when the game is finished and Alan and his father patch things up, in Christmas of 1994, it appears Alan's parents are still alive as Alan is talking to his father over the phone as his father has retired and has put Alan in charge of the shoe company.
Well said, I like that the movie made it clear that they weren't around anymore. It more likely shows that they died of heartbreak/depression from their son leaving and never finding him, which all the more hits you in the feels when you find out how much Alan's father loved him.
what i love about this scene is where the gentleman offers Alan some coffee and some clothes a really nice gesture even though he doesn't know Alan. what a lovely thing to do
@@brad9888 Yeah even though Alan did commit a breaking and entering crime. I guess too because Alan said "Sorry" at 0:09 it was also the man's way of showing forgiveness
This scene always brings a tear to my eye. The look on Alan’s face when he realises his neglectful father who he thought was never capable of showing love, quit caring about work and put all his time and effort into finding his missing son 😢
Sam always cared for Alan, and he believed that it would help Alan if he attended Cliffside. Any father who loves their child would do exactly what Sam did. I think it's just his failure at finding Alan or his body, despite all the resources he poured in, did not give him any closure.
My favorite scene in the film, loved the cinematography of the abandoned shoe factory when Alan picks up a dusty parish shoe box, 26 years after he went missing, and now here we are 26 years after that amazing film was made, Sadly James Horner and Robin Williams are no longer with us. Time flies.
I like when because Alan and Sarah started the game in 1969 and completed the game in 1995, the game takes them back to 1969 to their younger bodies and minds and get their chances to get their lives back in order.
Everyone is talking about the kind gestures the man offered Alan with the coffee and clothes but let’s also appreciate that he didn’t judge Alan’s appearance
@Magpie_Mark92 I'm guessing that guy wasn't homeless since he looked like he was living in the abandoned shoe factory as his home since it sounds like he had coffee to drink and clothes to wear that wouldn't make him homeless.
This always makes me cry because my dad used to fight all the time then he moved out and I hated him and then he died when I was 16 and I blamed myself for so long
Don’t blame yourself bro. My best friend since 6th grade died this year and I’m 25. We used to fight too I feel your pain brother. Keep your head up man
I can almost understand your feeling. I miss my mother everyday. Yes, we’ve had our ups and downs, but it was nothing compared to the inner turmoil I’ve had with my father, who made things worse. But over the times I talked with my mother about all what happened and how it really did happen, she took the time to hear me out and understand. But Mama died August 26th, 2018, from pancreatic cancer. As if I didn’t have enough problems and things and prior hardships and trauma and all, I already lost my father emotionally to one who’s lost his mind, even long before I ever lost my mother to pancreatic cancer. I miss her everyday.
What I like about this scene is even though that man was labeled to be “homeless”, he actually had shelter in the shoe factory and a perfect setup and even if he did not an ordinary run-of-the-mill home, it’d still be a place he could call “home”. Next to that, he generously gave Alan some ordinary clothes to replace his jungle clothes as it would be something he’d need because he would likely freeze out there. Even if he were poor himself, he’d still have everything he’d need when living in the factory as shelter and a place he’d call “home”, and so much so, he would have just about more than he could ever offer and that being why he gave Alan some clothes. Remarkable.
I still wonder who that homeless guy was. He knew the town layout pretty well, not to mention seemed to have a good idea of Sam (Allen's dad) plight and how he reacted to a missing son, and even state he saw Sam from time to time referring to him by his first name. My idea is he somehow knew and was connected to Sam, but I don't think it's ever explained.
He's pretty well informed for a typical homeless, my guess is that he might've had a nice job in the town back in the day but lost it and became destitute, and now uses the factory as his "home"
MrHoppers002 he was probably a resident of Branford and possibly a friend of Sam’s but worked somewhere else and then lost his job since he said everything in town folded up
The homeless in the factory, the first person after Judy and Peter to be kind with Alan, offering him a coffee and clothes, is maybe an old worker or manager of the factory, because he knows everything of the story of Sam Parrish. When I saw this scene for the first time as a kid in 90's it touched me, but now, next to 30s, I cry like the monsoon in Parish Mansion
I was always under the impression that the man in the factory was really Alan’s father. I understand he supposedly died in 1991 but I never believed that.
I was only four years old when this came out in theaters. I saw it then and I was too young to know the full meaning. All these years later coming back to view it the full emotional impact of this sinks in. Honestly there really was heart and emotional subtly in this movie. It isn't the special effects, the scenes, or the goofy one-liners - it was the emotional connection between the characters and our relationship to them that made this movie.
You know for me I actually wish the world could have nice homeless men like him because he was the only person and man that was nice and kind to Alan by giving him clothes to wear because he didn't want him to freeze out in the cold. You know my favorite movies of Robin Williams are Hook, Aladdin, Nine Months, Jumanji and Flubber because these were my all time favorite movies of him.
Nine years later, the world's still not the same without Robin Williams in it. God rest forever and ever. * God rest to Lloyd Barry who played the homeless man as well. He passed in 2016 at the age of 89.
@@samsticka Here’s another fun fact Jonathan Hyde also played mayor Waldo In the Dino Topia TV series which takes place were the original film with Jim Carter mayor Waldo left off Do you find that all mind blowing Look it up if you don’t
When you realize the Parrish name isn't just a wealthy name, but a name of honorary reputation. Alan starts to realize how to be a man becomes clear from the example of his father.
The fact that Lloyd Barry while making multiple roles like this over his career-here, he's unfortunately credited as "Bum"-managed to still make a hell of an impression in just this one scene is impressive. That this guy may or may not have known Alan's parents personally and yet learned so much and then cared enough to sometimes visit their graves at the cemetery is so deeply personal and effective. God rest to Lloyd Barry and thank you all the more.
This scene is honestly one of the most powerful I've seen in a movie. Bear in mind that Alan just got out of the jungle, so all of his opinions of his Father and vica versa would have remained (that he hated his father, and his father hated him for spoiling the family name) or more likely grew stronger; as Alan would have believed that after all this time, his Father would have never even looked for him. The acting from Robin here is excellent, you can see the realisation from Alan, and almost dumbfounded look with a hint of self-anger on his face, that after all this time, his Father loved him more than anyone or anything else in the world. Even more so than his own family name and company, which he clearly held in high importance early in the film when Alan is eating dinner. Such an incredible scene.
In the timeline where Alan disappeared, how do you think his parents reacted when they couldn't find him at home or how could they spend their entire fortune looking for Alan?
A few scenes of random films bring a tear to my eye. This is one of those scenes. It feels so heartfelt. The butterfly effect of how Alan entering Jumanji meant his dad essentially packed in his firm. Thus creating a spiral of decline in a once thriving town.
Alan Parrish (young): (as he argues with his dad about going to boarding school, much to an angry Alan) You won't! I'm never talking to you again!" And to think that Alan's argument with his dad was the last time he ever encountered with his parents before being trapped inside Jumanji for 26 years...
I know the homeless man is much older but who thinks Alan should’ve ran into an adult Billy Jessup the bully from the beginning of the film to show that Billy’s bad acts in the past towards Alan came to haunt him in the future
What if the old man is Alan’s father? And the grave is just a memorial for Sam because he stopped caring. He seems to know a lot about Sam’s feelings toward his son.
Bubbahead70301 Now that you guys mention it it makes sense that they want us to think of it that way. Like another comment said he smokes a pipe to like sam did in the beginning of the movie.
Well did you at least go back once you got the marijuana? Or did you actually run away with someone named marijuana? Sorry I’m too stoned on marijuana right now to grasp this...
Alan's father always struck me as a stoic man raised by Victorian era parents therefore never showed affection to his son but that didn't mean he didn't love his son.
To me this is the most heartbreaking moment of the movie . Knowing Sam did everything he could and sacrificing his entire career just to find his son is so sad . Really shows how much he truly loved Alan .Even worse is the fact that he and Miss Parish died not knowing what ever happened to Alan . And the way the man tells it all to Alan really gives you a mental picture of everything. 😢
Talk about a scene that hits differently as an adult because you suddenly understand what the guy is saying and it drives home how something as small as a kid disappearing can have ripple effects years down the road for an entire town. And how much Alan's dad cared for his son but didn't know how to express it AND probably blamed himself for Alan leaving.
I like how the old man was nice enough to help Alan with getting warm even though he did break in. I guess he thought Alan ment well and after all he knew Alan was sorry when he said it. :D
@@AbrahamLincoln4 Well no he didn't. I just mean even though Alan trespassed into his home, I like how he still helped him and he knew Alan was sorry, maybe because a tramp, he doesn't get a lot of company apart from his dog.
This scene hits like a bomb. Alan never really felt his fathers love and the last time they spoke he felt like a disgrace. 26 years of pain and regret, and he finds out his father gave everything up and died looking for him. It makes the ending perfect.
I saw on Wikipedia that, that guy who is telling Robin Williams why the shoe factory closed down was a homeless man for the movie. He doesn't look like a poor homeless man since it looks like the abandoned factory is now where he lives and the way how he has coffee to drink and clothes to wear (especially since he gave Robin Williams clothes) doesn't make him look homeless and poor.
Exactly. I wouldn't say he's homeless either. He might not have much of a regular home most ordinary run-of-the-mill people have, but at least he has a place he can call home, and at least he's got some things he's living on. And even the way he even gave of a couple of clothes to Alan (Robin Williams), just really showed he even still had some other extra clothes, too.
Darkman9478 Yes that's true. I guess he's using the upstairs of the factory (which used to be Sam Parish's office) like an apartment room for himself. Probably if he was going to use the factory as his home (that is, if no other company is going to buy it), he should probably clean up the downstairs of it. Maybe whatever I saw on Wikipedia was a mistake that he was homeless because if he really was homeless, maybe he would have asked Alan if he has any money, and he wouldn't have offered Alan some coffee and some extra clothes.
afriendofbean That helps keep up the appearance of it being abandoned which probably helps prevent it from being bought. If it was nice and tidy, that might cause an outside company to want to purchase it, causing him to lose him home,
+dbstewart86 That's true. I guess the guy in the abandoned shoe factory probably wants to prevent any other company from buying it by keeping it dirty but at the same time, keeping it dirty in the downstairs could cause mice, cockroaches, termites, etc. to come. Then if it's termites, the whole factory building will become all dust having the termites eat the whole building.
Alan's father should have known not to tell his boy that he was going to a school he didn't want to go to, and for that he ran away, and felt nothing but self-blame and depression for the rest of his life, self-blame and depression always come after anger, EVERY PARENT SHOULD KNOW NOT TO SEND THEIR CHILD TO A PLACE THEY DON'T WANT TO GO TO, TRADITION OR NOT! CHILDREN ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN TRADITIONS
Although a movie it is so true. I always wanted to make my parents feel proud about me. I thought they would only be proud of me when I succeed in life...well that never really happened and yet they were proud of me since before I was born. I'm sorry I couldn't see that earlier
I guessed straightaway he was a former worker that lost his job when the place closed and he liked the place so much when he lost his home he thought might aswell live at his former workplace
That's is riffing upset he managed to get out of his magical prison after years trapped in there only to learn that his loved ones are dead Just like ant man in Avengers Endgame after being trapped in his in ant man & the wasp
Here is the answer you are looking for: 1. When Alan is a kid, he walks into the factory looking for his dad, and he is looking up at his office (the one where the homeless guy is). The window is the same, see @0:08 . Why would the homeless guy SPECIFICALLY be in his dads office? He could've lived anywhere in the factory. This office has some sort of meaning for him. 2. 0:08 he smokes the same damn pipe his dad used to do. If this guy was a former worker at the factory, he would probably not smoke a pipe. Watch the scene when Alan is a kid at the factory, NO ONE ELSE is smoking a pipe. Yes, the homeless guy said his dad was dead, he could've faked his own death, he was accused of murdering his own son. And no, Sam wouldn't recognize his own son 26 years later with long hair and a beard. Homeless guy IS Sam, Alans father.
Lawnie08 well now I found out its just another BULL SHIT sequil. and yes buddy they shouldnt make it. EVER. and fyi, nowadays, i wake up every f**** morning wishing this was 1990 instead. dont you?
Robin Williams was a great actor. he played as an adult Peter Pan in the movie: Hook, was also in a movie called: RV, and Flubber. also played as the voice of the Genie from Aladdin.
For the first one maybe he thought the man wouldn't believe him and as for the second one like as we see Alan at his parents grave maybe that's what the man ment; he sees the grave on Adams Street.
The actor that plays the hobo is my grandad Lloyd Berry. He died in 2016. Miss you every day 💞
Sorry for your loss. I bet in heaven he and Robin Williams are happy to be back together.
He did good as the hobo. Respect
I also remember him on Susie Q where he played the janitor telling Zach that Susie died on her way to the Winter Formal in 1955.
Condolences :'(
Your grandad was hilarious in Scary Movie. "I asked for a dollar..." RIP

To me this is the most heartbreaking moment of the movie . Knowing Sam did everything he could and sacrificing his entire career just to find his son is so sad . Really shows how much he truly loved Alan .Even worse is the fact that he and Miss Parish died not knowing what ever happened to Alan . And the way the man tells it all to Alan really gives you a mental picture of everything. 😢
It always made me sad, even more so if you think that the last thing he did was fight with Alan before he disappeared.
Talk about a scene that hits differently as an adult because you suddenly understand what the guy is saying and it drives home how something as small as a kid disappearing can have ripple effects years down the road for an entire town.
And how much Alan's dad cared for his son but didn't know how to express it AND probably blamed himself for Alan leaving.
Thank you for posting this
R.I.P. Robin Williams
I like how the old man was nice enough to help Alan with getting warm even though he did break in. I guess he thought Alan ment well and after all he knew Alan was sorry when he said it. :D
although he didn't know he was alan lol
@@AbrahamLincoln4 Well no he didn't. I just mean even though Alan trespassed into his home, I like how he still helped him and he knew Alan was sorry, maybe because a tramp, he doesn't get a lot of company apart from his dog.
This scene hits like a bomb. Alan never really felt his fathers love and the last time they spoke he felt like a disgrace. 26 years of pain and regret, and he finds out his father gave everything up and died looking for him. It makes the ending perfect.
This^
The hobos dog was about to bike Allen lol easy boy
Yeah I liked that too. The hobo was nice to say "Easy girl." to his dog because he ment "Easy girl. He's sorry. He didn't mean it."
I saw on Wikipedia that, that guy who is telling Robin Williams why the shoe factory closed down was a homeless man for the movie. He doesn't look like a poor homeless man since it looks like the abandoned factory is now where he lives and the way how he has coffee to drink and clothes to wear (especially since he gave Robin Williams clothes) doesn't make him look homeless and poor.
Exactly. I wouldn't say he's homeless either. He might not have much of a regular home most ordinary run-of-the-mill people have, but at least he has a place he can call home, and at least he's got some things he's living on. And even the way he even gave of a couple of clothes to Alan (Robin Williams), just really showed he even still had some other extra clothes, too.
Darkman9478 Yes that's true. I guess he's using the upstairs of the factory (which used to be Sam Parish's office) like an apartment room for himself. Probably if he was going to use the factory as his home (that is, if no other company is going to buy it), he should probably clean up the downstairs of it. Maybe whatever I saw on Wikipedia was a mistake that he was homeless because if he really was homeless, maybe he would have asked Alan if he has any money, and he wouldn't have offered Alan some coffee and some extra clothes.
***** Very true.
afriendofbean That helps keep up the appearance of it being abandoned which probably helps prevent it from being bought. If it was nice and tidy, that might cause an outside company to want to purchase it, causing him to lose him home,
+dbstewart86 That's true. I guess the guy in the abandoned shoe factory probably wants to prevent any other company from buying it by keeping it dirty but at the same time, keeping it dirty in the downstairs could cause mice, cockroaches, termites, etc. to come. Then if it's termites, the whole factory building will become all dust having the termites eat the whole building.
Alan's father should have known not to tell his boy that he was going to a school he didn't want to go to, and for that he ran away, and felt nothing but self-blame and depression for the rest of his life, self-blame and depression always come after anger, EVERY PARENT SHOULD KNOW NOT TO SEND THEIR CHILD TO A PLACE THEY DON'T WANT TO GO TO, TRADITION OR NOT! CHILDREN ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN TRADITIONS
Great scene. Too bad abc family cut the scene of the older man calling his dog off the alert, probably for time.
Someone should re upload this in HD
Abraham Rivera You should
One of my favorite scenes, too
One of my favorite scenes in any movie
I've known four people who lost someone (both to mystery and to tragedy) who folded like tents and were gone in just a few years.
Rip Dad.
Although a movie it is so true. I always wanted to make my parents feel proud about me. I thought they would only be proud of me when I succeed in life...well that never really happened and yet they were proud of me since before I was born. I'm sorry I couldn't see that earlier
How would that guy even know the full story of the parish family?
My guess is that he was a former employee of the shoe factory.
@@paulmccarthy1527 Yeah He's Probably a Former Employee.
I guessed straightaway he was a former worker that lost his job when the place closed and he liked the place so much when he lost his home he thought might aswell live at his former workplace
That's is riffing upset he managed to get out of his magical prison after years trapped in there only to learn that his loved ones are dead
Just like ant man in Avengers Endgame after being trapped in his in ant man & the wasp
“He just quit caring” I think of that line a lot
Story of my life 😢
I swear when I watched this movie as a kid the hobo had a dog with him...
RIP Robin
Poignant scene 🌟😢
Alan Parrish: (spots a person's silhouette at an office window) Hey! (dashes up the stairs and into the office and finds an old, bearded man) Sorry.
Abandoned factory because Sam parrish stop tô work wants son he died
The homeless man certainly looks like he has it made.
Here is the answer you are looking for:
1. When Alan is a kid, he walks into the factory looking for his dad, and he is looking up at his office (the one where the homeless guy is). The window is the same, see @0:08 .
Why would the homeless guy SPECIFICALLY be in his dads office? He could've lived anywhere in the factory. This office has some sort of meaning for him.
2. 0:08 he smokes the same damn pipe his dad used to do. If this guy was a former worker at the factory, he would probably not smoke a pipe. Watch the scene when Alan is a kid at the factory, NO ONE ELSE is smoking a pipe.
Yes, the homeless guy said his dad was dead, he could've faked his own death, he was accused of murdering his own son. And no, Sam wouldn't recognize his own son 26 years later with long hair and a beard.
Homeless guy IS Sam, Alans father.
Esp4thawin I agree I think they want you to think outside the box.
Did you record this on a toaster
JFC someone please reload this video in 4K
I like to think this man was hired by Alan or Alan’s dad in future
This scene almost made me cry.
Yes mills in North Berwick Maine Riveland my whole life it’s a really cool Easter egg
God damn this movie has so many feels in it.
I just found out that they're gonna remake jumanji! they just got a director. guessing it's in memory of robin williams.
+Robbie Quinlan eh they really shouldnt...not necessary to make a sequel imo..
Lawnie08 well now I found out its just another BULL SHIT sequil. and yes buddy they shouldnt make it. EVER.
and fyi, nowadays, i wake up every f**** morning wishing this was 1990 instead. dont you?
more like in memory of the cash this generated
Robin Williams was a great actor.
he played as an adult Peter Pan in the movie: Hook, was also in a movie called: RV, and Flubber.
also played as the voice of the Genie from Aladdin.
anndddd they ruined it
Am I not the only one who loves James Horner's music?
Why didn’t Alan tell the man he was the missing kid n how does he kno where his parents were?
For the first one maybe he thought the man wouldn't believe him and as for the second one like as we see Alan at his parents grave maybe that's what the man ment; he sees the grave on Adams Street.
Tearjerking
