@@KnightGlint honestly tho ... in a metaphorical sense. Man I miss this movie. It’s one of the only movies I’d pay to see again. This movie made such a deep impact on my entire childhood to who I am today and what I think about. Seeing this again and realizing the metaphor of the bowl of petunias is insane.
@@hannibalshade3084 Oh I get it. I first listened to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy on BBC Radio 4 in the late 1970s. Then I watched the TV adaptation in the early 1980s. (Then I read the book. I'm odd like that, I only read Pride and Prejudice after seeing one of the movie adaptations. I fecking loved the book, it's so easy to read.) So when it comes to this movie adaptation, I knew the story really well, but I really like Zoe and Martin, so I watched it with few expectations. But the whale's wonder of existing, questioning everything, and the not being alive never really struck when I listened to the radio or read the book. This scene is a vastly compressed version of what most thinking humans go through in their developing years. Self awareness, questions, wonder and an ignorance of the inevitable death. Oh to have that whale's death. I've lived too long, I know too much, or maybe I think too much, but that's the hand fate dealt me. As I approach the end, I have no fear of being dead. That's because I'm an agnostic atheist. For such as me, being dead holds no fears, how we die, how I'll die scares the shit out of me. But for a brief period I really lived, I procreated, 3 kids, 2 grandkids so far. I will depart this world with regrets and hopes. In the meantime I'm just going to do what I've always done, Strive to harm nobody, promote what I feel is right, hope I'll get laid one more time, (It won't happen). But this is life. We didn't asked to be born. I'm glad I was, and I'm prepared to pay the price, my death.
Sam Rockwell is brilliant in this movie. "What're cows?" The expression and truly unknowing of Zaphod brought to life through this masterful performance.
I love how the only thing that's changed, other than the missiles being turned into flowers and a whale, is the fact that Zaphod now has a box of cereal.
The whale monologue was copied almost verbatim from the book, but the “Hello ground!” at the end was added on, which was a cherry on top for me and always makes me laugh 😂
yeah shame they added all the waxing about what is normal for some stupid reason before it so that they had to make the scene faster and have the exploration of sentience given less time to have a serious laugh at though.
Eternally boring, but I wouldn't mind just popping into existence in some unknown world and falling towards the ground and smashing some poor unexpected alienes brains out.
Assuming you are right, why would the petunias already have experienced this before? Perhaps if you commit suicide, you are reincarnated as petunias? If that's the case, the petunia's thoughts make perfect sense.

What does a cockroach in Arthur's house, a bowl of petunias spawned into existence in front of Arthur and a very pissed off giant spiderlike creature hellbent on unaliving Arthur have in common...? Arthur, reincarnation and revenge.
"Curiously, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias, as it fell, was, "Oh no, not again!" Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly *why* the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now." I think the petunias are in cahoots with the mice.
"Many have speculated, if we knew WHY the Bowl of Petunias thought had THAT" (Crash) "We should know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do, now"
Once you recognize it's Wheatley from Portal 2, you can't unhear it. My headcannon is that Wheatley somehow ended up in some missile guidance software and was transfered into the whale.
Compared to the style and delivery of the original .. (and the imagery of the TV)...... this is what being in the Total Perspective Vortex must be like... It is an invisible dot... on an invisible dot.... infinitely small...
The deepest couple of minutes in the movie.
David Keenan The deepest part being the bowl of flowers.
the deepest part being the crater the whale left in the landscape

The cereal was sliding around on the ground with him when they were trying to evade the missiles.

Bill Bailey... Such a great actor. And musician. And comedian. You know what, Bill Bailey is just awesome. As is the Hitchhiker's Guide.
buddyltd I knew I knew that voice.
In another timeline Bill Bailey is the new Doctor Who. Gutting isn't it.
And Stephen Fry, as the narrator, was a great move....
That bowl of petunias has seen some shit
Well he is Agrajag!
ah, someone who reads, nice
no it in the new audio book to.
In hindsight the ground was perfectly willing to get along with the whale if it wasn't moving too fast and coming on a little strong
10/10 comment mate
I can't stop laughing @ that mushroom cloud...."Maybe it'll be friends with me...hello ground!" ((BOOM))
I started busting up laughing at this scene, it just caught me off guard so bad 🤣
'Hello ground!' *thud, mushroom cloud
The 3 things this film got right:
Alan Rickman as Marvin
Bill Bailey as The Whale
Stephen Fry as The Narrator
I'd add Richard Griffiths as Jeltz to that list
So that’s where Goat Simulator gets the Idea of the Hitchhiker Goat
I just read this part in the book and thought I should come back here to relive it in all of its comedic glory
Same. Listening to this part of the audio book and had to come see it again lol
Same here!
whenever I hear that line "oh no, not again..." I hear it in John Hurt's voice... RIP
🎵”Hello, my baby! Hello, my honey! Hello, my ragtime gal!”🎶 😁
I wish they had made more than one movie, I really love this one!
I just realized Bill Bailey voiced the whale. Spot on!
yay this is really exciting! ..im dizzy with anticipation!
or is it the wind?
theres an awful lot of that now isnt there?
And what’s this thing coming towards me very fast?
This series of books is one one the only to make me laugh out loud.
I was probably drunk more often than not while reading it, back in the eighties.
Ha ha my favorite scene in the movie makes me laugh every time. "I wonder if it will be friends with me. Hello ground."
Somehow I laughed harder at 2:14 than I did when the whale hit the ground
I was todays year old when starships lauch brought me to this video
So...bowls of petunias experience re-incarnation? Sounds incredibly boring.
Do you want me to tell you why, or do you want to find out for yourself? (Read the third book for the answer)
Eternally boring, but I wouldn't mind just popping into existence in some unknown world and falling towards the ground and smashing some poor unexpected alienes brains out.
Have u ever breathed through your skin? Its exhilarating.
Its boring till someone decides to decapitate you and your friends to "pretty up" their house

This is hilariously referenced in Fallout 2
Is there a whale in the desert or something?

I love this book. I love that everything everywhere all at once seems to be based off this clip 😂
Not many truer words have ever been spoken. Wiseass.😁🤣😂
scene that made me cry

This movie had so much going for it. I wish it was better than just a handful of scenes I remember.
1:13 for whale thoughts

Funny. That's exactly why I came here.
The whale's commentary is the ringtone that signals that my husband is calling
Stephen Fry is a fantastic narrator.
And also the reader of the audiobook 😊 can highly recommend it

I've just read that part in the book and couldn't help but rewatch the scene. It's almost exactly as it is written in the book, that's crazy
DUDE IVE BEEN TRYNNA FIND THIS MOVIE FOR YEARS I STARTED THINKING IT WAS JUST A FEVER DREAM FROM WHEN I WAS LITTLE
2:06 Poor Agrajag
This scene is actually more depressing now that I'm looking at it form the perspective of an adult...
"Ouch!"
"Round!"
"GROUND!"
Legendary! Truly Epic and Legendary!
Bowl of Petunias: Oh no, not again...
I really do want to know why the flowers thought “oh no,not again”

Curiously the only thing that went trough the mind of a bowl of petunias as it fell was "Oh no not again"
My entire philosophy in life
I’m guessing the relationship between the ground didn’t work out.
I think it was a more "grounded" meeting than a relationship.

I came here because of Fallout 2 lol 😂. This clip is glorious.
Zaphod is so stupid, I love him.
Still the best line in the movie
I relate to the bowl of petunias
"Hello ground"

Bloody great.
Why was this movie panned? I thought it was hilarious and still pretty faithful to the book.
TY.
See, the whale has eyes to see.
I had just found a reference to this in Fallout 2
Normal is a matter of opinion.
Wait, the petunia thought "oh no, not again", so I'm wondering about what happened to the petunia before ?
This has been resolved in the third book I believe. Should I spoil it for you, or do you wanna find out by yourself?
Zaphod If it's a part of one the books, I'll figure it out myself.
But thank you anyway.^^
Liberatus Blair np ^^
+Zaphod I've read the third one, but that detail escapes me, can you give a hint?
Let's just say that this isn't the first time the petunias have been alive, nor the first time that they've seen Arthur Dent.
I love bill bailey
what did Perseverance think when it was about to hit martian ground?
Poor whale :(
*W H A T ' R E C O W S ? ?*
oh no, not again
😔 whale 😢

How is it there
wtf i forgot Mos Def is in this
It just occurred to me, wouldn’t a whale have more air resistance than a bowl of petunias, and therefore be the 2nd of the 2 to hit the ground?
I'm also pretty sure the whale would've started burning while falling, it's just a movie after all
Your mammal and you live in the sea🌊🌊🌊🌊
The whale
I want a helmet like that
print("hello ground!");
What is normal?
Damn they should really explore on the story of that bowl. Its funny and sad
They have, in the third book.
Hello ground
