    I have a very special place in my heart for this movie. My grandpa was a bit of a hermit himself, who lived by himself and didn’t really have much in the way of modern entertainment. I spent a summer living with him in my teen years and we became really close. One evening I convinced him to try renting a couple of movies (the only 3 he owned were Happy Gilmore, Young Guns and Young Guns 2). So we went down to the local grocery store and rented Secondhand Lions, and on top of it being something of a mirror of our situation he really loved it (He had no idea Robert Duvall was still acting at the time). He passed a couple years ago, but I still have vivid memories of that summer. Very happy to see you enjoy this movie!

      I saw it many times with my dad before he died. We loved the bonus features, the deleted and alternate scenes especially. Robert Duvall as Hub is uncannily like my grandfather on my dad’s side who died three years before this film came out. I always like to think he would have loved it.

      This is a classic pile of crap. Your grandfather was a hermit but he owned three films - Happy Gilmore, Young Guns and Young Guns 2. "a summer in my teen years" is laughably vague. Why were you spending summer with your hermit grandfather who owned three films? What planet was this meant ot have happened on?
      And the classic - "now he is dead I think of this film" 0/10

    The biggest teen was played by an actor named Travis Willingham who made it big with a D&D stream called Critical Role. He has told the story at conventions and such that while shooting the fight scene, Robert Duvall kept punching him in the face because he thought Travis was a stuntman who knew how to take the hit without getting hurt. When he found out Travis was an actor, not a stuntman, Duvall ended up yelling at the director for not telling him sooner. 😂

    I was excited when I heard you were going to do this movie. It's a beautiful story. I love Hub's speech, and I just wish we got to hear the whole thing.
    Saying someone "died with their boots on" means they died in action, as opposed to dying in bed. Hub and Garth wanted to die fighting. Hub especially was afraid of becoming weak and useless. He wasn't sick with cancer or anything, but he kept doing dangerous things because he knew he was going to die sooner or later, and he wanted to be sure that he died in action, not wasting away or lying sick in bed.
    The comics at the end were drawn by Berkeley Breathed, the cartoonist who made "Bloom County" and "Opus".

    My mother grew up in rural Tennessee. She had a lot of siblings, and once they fooled her into thinking that chewing tobacco was good to eat (they pretended to eat it, but were dropping it down their shirt collars). So she ate some and, as she put it, "was sick as a dog." She lived to be 90, so she got through that okay. Hell, she raised five kids of her own and got through us okay.

    I did like the ending (as opposed to the alternate one). His former adversary was obviously not only powerful, but an intelligent man who grew as a result of their encounters/rivalry. To think he grew to deeply respect them and to see the results in the more low-key and hospitable children/grandchildren, showed that Hub's influence helped him live a fruitful and honorable life himself.

  • @Britcarjunkie
    @Britcarjunkie ปีที่แล้ว +12

    If nobody mentioned it yet, there's a deleted scene in which Osment goes into the kitchen, and sees a bunch of information request postcards that Caine filled out, to bring salesmen out to the house (so that he & Duvall can shoot at them!), and Caine walks in & says something like "Please don't tell your Uncle Hub that I'm responsible for them coming here: it'll ruin his day." 🤣😅😂
    Yes, Ashleigh, you must look at the works of both Caine and Duvall - they're a couple of class acts.
    I think this was the last film that Osment did as a child: his voice was indeed crackling in real life, so they had to get this film shot as fast as they could.
    Oh - you also saw a younger Osment in "Forrest Gump" (he was Hank's son at the end), and there's a few other fantastic films he did when he was young, "Pay It Forward", and "A.I.: Artifical Intelligence".
    Both may make you cry.

You should see 21 jump street tv show on DVD the famous uncover of Tom and Doug was the McQuaid brothers and some of the cast of a nightmare on elam Street was on episodes of 21 jump street .Tom Hanson retired from the dea and owned a boiling ball place and Doug also retired from the dea too and is a prist . Tom Hanson has a tragic story about when he took a girl to a valentines dance and his cop father was shot while stop killed a killer robbery and the robber was killed as well as Tom Hanson Sr and his partner . Tom decided to be a cop and he started a ruff but he became more cooler and Tom had a bully that was a girl and she stop when at a little kid dance and she was love struck .Doug penhal was bully was a guy jack and he destroyed his uncle's classic car for 1950, and his uncle was playing by Peter deluise 's father dom deluise and it was prom night jack moved away and the girl is unknown what happened to her in the car .jack bully Doug with pranks and wedgies in school and high school in the 70s nor 80s . This is sad movie but it is moving . Johnny Depp decided to go and do his acting in movies and left 21 jump street in season 5 and Tom Hanson move to the dea and soon did Doug penhal .and 21 jump street tv show stopped at season 5 in 1994 I think ? Tell me if I am wrong or right in the comments section guys. Ernest Jim verny movies you need to see .

    Michael Caine was in Deadfall, Too Late the Hero, Get Carter, The Eagle has Landed, A Bridge Too Far, The Fourth Protocol, a bad Jaws sequel, the Dark Knight series (as Alfred)... he won Best Supporting Actor for The Cider House Rules (1999), beating out Tom Cruise... told Cruise in his acceptance speech that he did him a favor, keeping Cruise's asking price per picture from dropping down 10 million.

I grew up working my families dairy/beef farm, and growing up and working with him I have seen so many people come to the farm who will sit and talk with him for hours. After he passed away, we had to have 3 days of a wake to accommodate all the people who came to see him before the funeral, and that was immediate family only. I talked with so many people who spoke so highly of him. I found out more about him in those 3 days than I did in the 32 years I had grew up and worked around him, and how he affected so many lives. He really was a treasure that the world has lost. Love you Papa and can't wait to see you again.

    The comics at the end are based off of a comic strip called bloom county/opus comics. The director was a fan of the man who did the comics and sent him a letter asking him to make something for the movie, which was then used as adult walters comics called: walter and jasmine. Although I think most would see it as a calvin and hobbs comic reference. The movie gave you some new hallowbeans costume ideas for beans too. You got a lion and a mafia beans idea.

    Ooh, I absolutely love this movie. One year on a whim, I picked it up for my Dad sight unseen for his birthday. We sat down and watched it, and both of us absolutely adored it along with Mom. I was happy I found a movie we could all enjoy, even after Dad got sick.

    The phrase "died with their boots on" relates back to another movie you've reviewed. In Tombstone as Doc Holliday is dying he laughs when he looks at his bare feet. He had been trying to "die with his boots on" for years. He laughs at the irony.

    Had to post Hub's speech...really wish people could and would live by it. "Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in."

    Robert Duvall and Michael Caine are terrific actors. I would be up for Ashleigh to react to more of their movies. A few of favorites off the top of my head that I consider "must see" are "Tender Mecies" which earned Duvall the Academy Award for Best Actor, "The Man Who Would Be King" which co-stars Sean Connery and has a rating of 91 on Metacritic and 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, and "The Eagle Has Landed" starring Caine as the main character and Duvall in a relatively small but essential supporting role.

    Michael Caine was in so many great movies. His first movie was "ZULU", and is well worth a watch. Robert Duvall was also in great movies. I really like "Lonesome Dove" and "Open Range". They are coincidentally both westerns. However; he is known for "The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Now" (I love the smell of napalm in the morning.... smells like VICTORY!)

    My Grandfather was a pilot in WW2, and I didn't know it until almost the year he died. I knew my father had been born on an Army Air Corps base in Texas, but I never new Papap was a pilot. No one ever spoke of it. Once, after I found out, I was having trouble with a realistic flight simulator game. I asked him how you recover from a stall. 50+ years later and he rattled off the procedure like he was sitting in the cockpit. I wonder sometimes about what stories he had inside that were just too painful to tell.

      My Dad was a Naval Lt. He headed a squad of deep sea demolition men during WW II. He wouldn't talk about it, other than one time, on one day when he was drunk, he talked about being on the deck of a small vessel with his assignment being clearing wrecks blocking shipping lanes approaching the Normandy beaches. Back then, the suits were the kind you see in old movies or Looney Toons, big brass helmet and a heavy canvas body suit. Air was supplied through a hose by compressors on the the deck of that small vessel. The lanes had to be cleared because the area was within artillery range of cliffs towering above the shore. He talked about the feeling he experienced realizing all the divers under his command, all of them teenagers, would die in the cold waters of the English Channel if an artillery shell hit his ship.

    This is a little hidden gem that not a lot of people know about. I worked in a video store, and really had no intention of watching this when it came out. One of my jobs was to check movies if a customer said it didn't play right, and this one showed up in the pile one day. I fell in love with it and bought a copy immediately. I've always loved these types of coming of age stories where it's told from the perspective of an adult talking about their childhood. I highly recommend checking out a movie from 1998 called Simon Birch. Also, Now & Then from 1995. I think you'd like them both.

They filmed this movie in Texas a few miles away from where I live. Michael Caine was in a movie Cider House Rules (1999). You might want to watch that. A movie with Robert Duval, Phenomenon. For an English man, Michael Caine did pretty good with a Texas accent in this Secondhand Lions movie.
