+Vahagn Karapetyan I agree, it was amazing how Tom Hanks got the job very easily when it looks like there were other people in the waiting room who were applying for that job including that guy at 0:07 where it looks like after the director gave Tom Hanks the job, the director must have walked into the waiting room to dismiss the other candidates saying to them "folks, the position has been filled."
I’ve seen many people lie on their applications when applying for a job. They would make up job histories, skills, and achievements. Some gets lucky to get hired, some don’t, but depends on where you applied. Some place don’t even bother to call your previous jobs to make sure.

This scene was my first (and only?) experience with the Mandela Effect. I remember Hanks as saying “Oh. One-two.” when he’s asked about the final two digits on his SSN at 1:08. When I watched this as a teenager and heard him say “Twelve,” I actually told my Dad that this was not the original scene, and he had always said “One-two” in the versions I saw growing up! Obviously I must’ve been mistaken. But I’ll still watch this scene and think to myself “Didn’t he say One-Two originally?!”
As movies are re-released, from time to time there are subtle tweaks to the dialogue track. It's very possible that in the version you originally had, he said it as you remember. Back to the Future has also had some subtle dialogue tweaks over the years.
Josh says "12" and David says under his breath "0 1 2" and now that you mention it, did David get "0 1 2" on his own or when Josh said the two "ohs" before?
I’m 60, movie buff for decades, and it happens often. I’ll have a favorite scene, and then when I watch it again after some years go by and I think I know the dialogue word for word, and it’s close but not what I thought I remember. Old movies that have not been re-edited. Dr. Strangelove. Gen. Ripper says “That’s the way your hard core Commie works.” I mis-remembered “operates” for “works.” A cheapo B sci fi flick called Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster has a scene where evil alien says “and now…maximum energy.” I could have sworn he said “maximum power.” He showed up in a bit part on Seinfeld years later.
every distraction in every single job interview, in a movie gives the main character the job, normally they would add the love interest as the distraction
I did a group interview once for the Disney Store and this one guy acted like a complete fool and the guy interviewing us looked at him like no, out of 4 people, I got hired. There for a year and moved on.
Yeah me too. In fact, I was at a Crazy Golf place last weekend with a friend & they had a Whack-A-Mole which I said reminded me of Whack Attack. Knew at least a couple of kid's who had it.
The Personnel director really got his act together, a year earlier he was a drunken bum in Southern California with a yellow Volkswagen Beetle who wrecked Les Anderson's Grandpa's green Cadillac.
At 0:55, why was it that guy interviewing Tom Hanks for the job instead of Macmillan since Macmillan is the director of that building since the building is called "Macmillan Toys" even though it was mentioned from 0:32-0:33 that, that guy at 0:55 is the director.
McMillan is the CEO..he's the top director of the firm..Hence his name in the title of the company. The guy at 0:55 is the personnel director. which is how he was introduced at 0:32.
+metafis Thank you. I guess Macmillan hires other people to interview others and the personal director must be Tom Hanks boss for the movie while later in the movie Macmillan gave Tom Hanks a promotion from data clerk to Vice President.
Most companies especially big ones CEO/Owners have HR people hire the entry level employees. When I went to an interview for Walmart 20 years ago. I didn't even interview with a manager. Their personnel did all the interviewing and hiring. CEOs usually only hire people like him to oversee HR or other department leadership roles
The older gentlemen that was clicking his pen while looking through Baskins job application is the same guy that played the drunk driver in License to Drive. Both movies came out the same year too.
This was one of those scenes where a couple of parts confused me a bit as a kid, and I assumed they would be clearer as an adult, but I really have no greater clarity 30-odd years later. 1) Why would the interviewer be taken aback by seeing "George Washington" as the name of a university and act as though its really only called by "G.W." particularly if his son in law got his doctorate there? 2) I have never, in my entire adult life, had someone ask "did you pledge?" I can only assume he means "did you pledge a fraternity?", but it just seems like such obscure phrasing on a very out of the blue question.
Josh is a little dumb in the interview, which an astute interviewer might see as a sign that he could be a genius at toy development. So Josh instantly gets the job. Smart interviewer.
There’s no way he can get a job that easily, when falsified his identity, especially applying at a big company. They didn't ask for his ID, or driver's license.
@theroamingcanuck49 At least he was dressed in a dress shirt and tie which was enough for him to look handsome to get the job. But yes I can understand what you mean that hiring officers mostly look at how well someone is dressed. For example, I heard one girl applied for a job and she was the best qualified candidate and she spoke very well in the interview which showed that she was good enough to get the job and be hired. Unfortunately she wasn't dressed properly and had messy hair and wasn't hired because of that.
