When the movie was released, Nathan Lane was virtually unknown outside of Broadway, and was still in the closet. Officially. Because it could still kill a career to be an openly gay actor.
During a promotional appearance on Oprah, Lane and Williams appeared together. Oprah asked a “gotcha” question of Lane that would have forced the issue - but Williams, in his inimitable way, interrupted and pulled the conversation away from the topic. To save Lane from having to answer.
After Williams died, Lane told that story as a tribute to what a great person he had been, and how Lane was eternally grateful to him.
What a great story about Robin, I think we all miss him
As a gay man getting kicked out of the USMC under DADT at the time this film came out, I marvel at how different life is now versus then. For all of us. Better, too. Watching two straight men who had NO idea what the film, its themes, its historical rooting in "La Cage aux Folles", etc. would be about, was quite revelatory to me. And very entertaining. Thanks! And thank goodness!❤ Semper Fidelis.
Things have definitely changed for the better. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support!
The butler, Hank Answers does voices on THE SIMPSONS!!😂😂😂😂
No wonder he sounded familiar
Albert is dressed up like Barbara Bush, so the implication is that's why the Senator is attracted to her/him. My favorite moment is the wife having to clarify "This is a MAN🤨"
Haha that’s amazing I didn’t put that together
I liked you comment on how Robin should have been in the other role. It's very true, and the role Lane plays. They are essentially playing the wrong roles. But it worked, and for this reason, this is one of my all-time favorite films. "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" did the same thing with its two leads.
Eternal sunshine is an amazing movie, thanks for the feedback!
Such a classic film. Whether you are uncomfortable or not, the acting is superb. Hank and Nathan couldn't have done a better job if they tried.
Not uncomfortable, thoroughly enjoyed the film! They all did excellent!
This movie is pure 90’s…. I saw it when it came back… all my drag friends who were in the cast as drag queens and many of the extras too.
haha that's awesome!
Robin Williams was originally cast to play Albert, but he'd just come off Mrs. Doubtfire and didn't want to play another role where he spent a good part of the movie in drag. Steve Martin was to play Armand. I think Mr. Martin willing handed the Armand role to Mr. Williams.
Yeah that’s great! We found that out in our post analysis!
one of the best funny scenes is when Armand has to go over the one scene with the guy for their show and he does the different kinds of dance moves with the names of the actual dancers they were from is so amazing! glad you guys liked the movie!
@@tarascholfield5887 a great moment for sure! Thanks for watching 🙌
It's set in early 90s, when it was filmed.
Ah makes sense.
As someone who grew up in the eighties and was a teenager in the 90s....THESE looks are PURELY 90's.
@@donkelly4718 aha good to know! The perms and colorful one piece bathing suits were throwing us off
“If you’re a Republican Senator comment below.” Lol. Best comment ever!
Haha thanks!
This straight dudes clinch their butt cheeks through whole movie😅! I guess they enjoyed the film😂.
@@sirex02 lol, we did not. Loved the film!
The first movie of The Bird Cage ( La Cage aux folles) was a French/Italien co production and had it’s premiere in 1978!
Thanks for the background!
@@joshandcaseyAnd it’s actually better than this version.
@@just_passing_through Right👍🏼
@@joshandcasey worth watching it👍🏼
As an actor from Florida, I can tell you extras are cast from local talent and are given guidelines of how they should dress, but the extras provide their own "costume." That's just how people in that area of Florida dress... LOL
I lived in South Beach when this was filmed. And yes, the costuming is pretty accurate for 95/96
@@ParsonNathaniel haha that’s pretty cool. Florida does do it differently 😆
If you like this movie you should watch the original French comedy that this is based on, "La Cage aux Folles". It was so successful that it spawned two sequels and a Broadway musical.
We will check it out for sure!
They didn't film it in South Beach. It was mainly a set and Miami. Hank Azaria ( Agador) does a lot of voices for the " Simpsons " show. A fun actor to watch.
Oh, interesting. That's why it looks so good haha
Please be sure to watch both of the original French versions. Even funnier! And the American stage play is a wonderful musical with award winning songs. Even standards singer, Perry Como recorded a few! 😲
NATHAN LANE IS HILARIOUS IN "MOUSE HUNT" WITH ANOTHER COMEDIAN AND WEIRD CHRISTOPHER WALKEN!!!💋💋💋💋💋👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
They made a movie of La Cage aux Folles but I actually like this better. And LA Cage was a big hit on Broadway too.
We will check it out!
@@joshandcasey The original play of La Cage aux Folles was French. The first movie based on the play was also French. After the French movie version, the play was adapted as a musical for the Broadway stage. The Birdcage is an American movie version of the French play.
Good Morning Vietnam is a wonderful Robin Williams movie, if y'all haven't already seen it--based on a true story about a radio DJ during the Vietnam War
We will definitely check it out!
HANK ANZARA PLAYS THEIR BUTLER, VALET.
NATHAN LANE AND ROBIN WILLIAMS ARE GENIUS👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈❤❤❤❤❤
This is one of my favourite movies. You guys are awesome.
Thank you!
Such a fantastic comedy!!! 😂
A very fun movie!
Happy Pride Month plus 1 and/or Fourth of July minus 3. I do hope before Pride Month 2025 you get to watch and react to Red, White & Royal Blue.
The Birdcage is based on a 1978 French movie based on a 1973 play, La Cage aux Folles. (The movie with English subtitles is also great.) Both play and movie are real pioneering since they were done so soon after the 1969 Stonewall riots which started the gay movement. Other media was still "pearl-clutching" over just the open existence of homosexual characters themselves. There was the 1970 landmark Boys In The Band, the first time a bunch of gay men were seen interacting with each other but frankly a very bitchy way. (Even just hearing about the movie kept me in the closet for a few more years as I thought therefore ALL gays were like that and I would never want to meet such people.)
----
Most viewers get upset with Val's asking his father to pretend to be straight. His gf is 17 so I guess her parents would need to approve the marriage, hence they can't find out about Val's parents. But also, this is absolutely vital so that we have the story.
----
There is a clip from years ago when Trump was hanging out with Rudy Giuliani, who was in full drag, and Trump pretended to be hitting on Rudy.
Thanks for all the info! We will check it out
This film is hysterically funny! Wonderful performances by all!
Yes, absolutely!
Please consider reacting to The First Wives Club (1996) it is an absolute laugh-riot with an amazing ensemble cast of 90s icons.
We will check it out.
Big difference between 80s and 90s
Of course, just some of the hairstyles and swimwear had us guessing.
SEEN "NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM TRILOGY"??? WILLIAMS LAST THREE PROJECTS.🙏RIP🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
ORIGINAL FRENCH VERSION IS GREAT!!! THAT ONE WAS IN 1970'S❤❤❤🌈🌈🌈❤❤❤💋💋💋
I’ve never seen two people more uncomfortable watching a film lol 😂
They’re doing ok I guess. 😁
@@AM-jm5ux we both thoroughly enjoyed it! Not uncomfortable, just taking it all in 🙌
😂
They seemed to be having a good time to me 🤷♀💋
Love this movie
@@doorattachment6926 great movie!
Embrace yourself please. If you don't, failure.
THE GOP DOESN'T CHANGE WITH THE TIMES...THAT'S WHY I CALL THEM "REPUBLICAN'TS" 😵😵😵😵
Wow how young are you? 80's and 90's fashions are so different! This is completely 90's gay scene.
Some of the bathing suits and color palette's just looked more 80s at certain points to us
Nice reaction - just so you know, the bitly link is not clickable in the description and on my TH-cam iPad app I’m not even able to select and copy it to paste into the browser, so I have to memorize the string to manually enter it. Maybe it’s selectable on Android/PC platforms - I dunno.
Edit: Okay, I tried again and I was able to select the link this time and open it directly, but I had to double tap and drag my finger a specific way, LOL. Not straightforward 😅
Oh, thank you for pointing that out! I think because we are a newer channel, links are not clickable until we hit 1K subs. I just doubled checked, if you copy and paste the link, it works. So, i think that is the reason.
Nixon held up both hands in victory signs. He would NEVER call it a peace ✌️ sign.
His son’s name is Zak
I'm a 56 year old Republican woman. I saw this in the theater when it came out and loved it! Still love it! And yes, I have fine bone china too! We aren't all stuffy like that. This movie is great and Nathan Lane deserved an Oscar for his performance.
@@DR-mq1vn of course not! Glad you liked it! Still a great film
I hope you haven't been voting for all the antigay policies that republicans support.

Okay that was as uncomfortable as Agador’s shoes.
It wasn’t that they were slippery-the joke was that he had never worn shoes before because he was from very humble beginnings.

@@just_passing_through 😂
I hate the son's character so much. I know its the whole plot of the movie but I wish they had written him being a little conflicted. He has no hesitation in throwing his other father under the bus. Just yuck.
Yeah, they could have written him a little differently for the better.
Try to find MTV spring break 95 the three people lol
So two men watch a gay themed movie together and have to over compensate and try to "love they aren't gay" by making sure to point out the extras in Bikinis. LOL
@@donkelly4718 we were just surprised by how south beach looked haha. All the extras looked amazing
I lived on South Beach before and while this was being filmed and watched it at the Omni downtown.... South Beach was nothing like the movie... It was a lot more... Nouveau Riche (and seedy... But hella "fun") I moved as soon as all the cool places were bought out by commercial corporations like Starbucks and the Gap.... But I did like the movie😊
Oh very cool! When did all the cool places go?
@@joshandcaseyI was there when Gianni Versace's house was still a hotel in 92 and everything started to change around 95 when South Beach became "it" and by 98 it was all over (in my opinion)
@@CRAkins1020 that’s unfortunate. Looked like such a fun place!
"still using china"
People don't use china anymore????😐😐😐
What do they eat off of? Paper? Plastic?
I'm confused by you guys. You winced and squirmed at the perceived violation of every Liberal hot button issue in this movie, but you also made sure that we know you're just a couple of straight guys reacting to a gay movie. And this comedy is more seriously propaganda. You guys confirm the propaganda. Apparently you live in the Lib echo chamber. Oh, Kiddies, I was out and about in the late '70s and '80s when people had thicker skin and better, more organic grounded laughs. La Cage, BTW, came out in 1978.
Hace algunos años que vi esta película y recuerdo que me partí de risa. Es encantadoramente divertida.
Gracias a esta reacción me dieron ganas de volver a verla.
¡De nada! ¡Gracias! Nos alegra que te haya gustado.
check out TOOTSIE with Dustin Hoffman
A classic! We will have to give it a watch at some point!
@joshandcasey I second the recommendation, though to be clear, "Tootsie" has nothing to do with LGBTQ and everything to do with gender roles in the 80s which it's set in. It's definitely very funny. "YOU WERE A TOMATO!"
Love this movie
We enjoyed it 🙌
