This is my favorite movie. It’s so silly and lewd, yet profound in deeply personal ways. The first time I watched it I cried my eyes out during the last scene having known so many doomed geniuses in my own life and at times feeling like one myself. Shakespeare is beautiful, and that much more so when recited by a person whose own life is steeped in self-induced tragedy.
It's mine too. It got me through some really tough times. It didn't make me feel better, it just made me feel like I wasn't alone. I went through a stage in my early 20's when I watched it at least once a week for an entire year. I've watched it so many times I can just watch it in my head now.
Probably the best screenplay ever written.
I've came across this video by mistake. This is probably the first reaction video I've seen about "Withnail and I" on TH-cam, and the reactor had a blast watching the film. Great reaction video, mate. Chin-chin!
Yeah, "by mistake" is one of my favourite lines in the film 😆
Thanks for watching!
Ye I've never understood why nobody reacts to it, oneday it will blow up.
Bruce Robinson who wrote and directed the film, is the 'I' character ( Known as Marwood in the original script). He based Withnail on his flatmate at the time and fellow struggling actor, Vivian MacKerrell. Vivian struggled with alcoholism and died of throat cancer at 50. Robinson went on to act for Franco Zeffirelli in Romeo and Juliet. Apparently the director's sexual advances towards Robinson were the inspiration for Uncle Monty.
and that one snagged line “are you a stone or a sponge” Brilliant.
Living in London bed sit land as a teenager in the late 60s this movie has it spot on. I will never forget the perpetual cold. In the original script Withnail goes back to the flat at the end, drinks some wine from the barrel of the shotgun he stole from the cottage; and then blows his head off.
"He's so mauve. We don't know what he's planning." - Uncle Monty.
I had a really deep connection to this film when I was in my 20s and living in North London. I felt a strong connection to the characters and situation. The dialogue gets better each time you watch. I even used to sit in the park regularly at that exact place where Withnail gives his performance to the wolves in the rain! (it's in Regents Park, near the Camden Town entrance.)
I feel like i have to watch it several times to pick up on all the subtleties!
I absolutely adore this film. I can't watch the end without crying.
Why are you an unfulfilled narcissist?
Withnail’s final monolgue is from Hamlet btw, referencing Monty’s sentiment of realizing he’ll ‘never play the dane’ earlier in the film. There’s quite a lot of Shakespearian references around in there, which is fitting as they’re both out of work actors. I really love how Danny the dealer gets to the heart of the script towards the end with his ‘how long can you hang on to a rising balloon?’-rant. It’s december 1969, the party that was ‘swinging London’ is definitely over and so is Withnail and Marwood’s friendship as it’s obvious Withnail is not willing to let go of the balloon and start to take care of his life and responsibility for his actions. Classic shakespearian tragedy, really. One of my favorite films of all time and it’s just gotten better over the years as I can relate more and more to the two characters from my own life. So thanks a lot for giving it a spin and spreading the word about it ❤
Somehow I completely missed this, yes Withnail is realising he will never play the Dane.
Another movie that wouldnt have existed without George Harrison. Too much that is wonderful to say about it.
One of my favourite films. I one of those people that visits film location when on holiday( by mistake)around the uk and I have visited many of the Withnail locations my favourite was "crow crag". It really is in the middle of nowhere but beautiful and exactly how it is in the movie it was a magical place to visit plus where they are shooting the fish in the river is just down from the house. I met Bruce once and had lunch together he was friends with my employer and he was a lovely guy, i was utterly star struck as he just turned up and i just said " sorry i have to say Withnail and I and the Killing fields are two of my favourite films" . He was gracious and let me gush for a while even asked what my favourite line is.
Good memories and the film will remain as a true classic.
love this film, been watching it ever since I was a teenager , well over 50 now
I will certainly watch it more times. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Best film ever made.
Richard really was sick on Paul's feet as they had put white vinegar (I think) in the lighter fluid bottle and didn't tell him!
Also, Richard was a strict tee-totaller so he went out with the director and got absolutely smashed so he would be able to understand how to give a more convincing performance of being a drunk.
I love this film, one of my favourites of all time!
Also, Bruce Robinson and actor, Gregory Floy, have both confirmed that Vivian MacKerrell really did once drink lighter fluid!
Richard E. Grant is not only a teetotaler but allergic to alcohol. He agreed to get drunk as a skunk for the first time in his life in order to inhabit the character. During the filming, his wife was pregnant and had a miscarriage. Richard Griffiths, who played Uncle Monty, also played Mr. Creosote, the tuxedoed glutton whose stomach exploded in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.
@@colinwilson4609 Er, no he didn't. That was Terry Jones.
@@HelenH-fk2jh Oh, come on Helen. If there's a discrepancy between the legend and the truth, print the legend. Yes, you are right. But was not Richard Griffiths in the 1980's pig comedy A Private Function with Maggie Smith and Michael Palin?
This script is as close to perfect as any film I have ever seen. Hardly a word is replaceable.
only 2x very minor improvs.
It's odd that the reactors haven't done Withnail & I.
I want them all to do it. One of the funniest films ever made
I love it when Withnail reads the telegram and congratulates Marwood, you can see what's really on his mind. Richard E Grant is amazing in this film.
I watched this for the first time this week after a near decade of my best mate badgering me to watch it. It was love, seen it twice since and listened to the commentary at work. What. A. Film!
The best reaction to my favourite film ever (over 160 times and counting!!) . Instant subscription my friend!! Chin Chin from soggy England 👍
This movie means the world to me. I've always been surrounded by artists and writers. My upbringing just came with it. So many of them are just out of place in the time and world they're living in. I've heard so many drunken diatribes that I've remembered always and that their speakers have always forgot that were works of absolute poetry and I've seen so many times that people were unable to transcribe the brilliant things that their minds were doing because they were too wasted to do it. Our species skips around brilliance. There are far more thoughts and ideas that should have been heard but never were than the ones that actually got written down, and even amongst those ideas that got written down, too many of them have been forgotten. Brilliance and love are everywhere, but they're too often out out of time and out of place. I would like to imagine a world where brilliant minds thrive, but we always create environments where they're the mutations who get eaten by the voracious ones among us who have insatiatable hungers for the satisfactions of our most base instincts. We're boring ourselves to death with the consumption of things that we only think are entertaining, but in reality are only making us suicidal and even worse: tired.
I see the truth of it
when you exclaimed "jesus!.." from the egg yolk scene I laughed like a mad man, subbed.
I have to get this channel going again. 😅
@@haloscan5138 do it!
This is my favorite movie . . . EVER!
It is mine too.
The actor who played Uncle Monty also played Mr. Creosote in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. For the uninitiated, he played a morbidly obese obnoxious glutton in a tuxedo dining at a fancy French restaurant. Even though he has projectile vomited into a bucket many times, he still exists that he is not full yet, so he demands an after dinner mint. And then he explodes. Brittania rules the waves.
No Mr. Creosote was played by Terry Jones. Richard Griffiths wasn't in Monty Python.
Kind of amazed yours is the only reaction to this on TH-cam! At least that I could find
What a film! You laughed at it the same way I do, loud and often 😁
@KoolKinchishKat Yeah, the fact that no one had done a reaction is one of the reasons i did.
Glad you enjoyed it. It's one of my favourite films that I keep recommending to people.
Don't threaten me with a dead fish is one of my favorite movie quotes of all time lol
I searched for a reaction to this film by chance, my favourite film ever. Glad you watched and enjoyed it!
So am i, because i enjoyed it very much. Thanks for watching!
How I came upon it.
Very nice. Sorry to see you've done no more reactions. Hope you're well.
One of my all time favourite comedies. Amazing movie. The original ending had Withnail shooting himself.
Only very early on.
@@crushthevicar did i say anything misleading?
Nice reaction you should do more - interesting fact about this film is that Richard E Grant was (and is) teetotal. So when he was offered the part, it was on condition that the director take him out and get him fall-over drunk so that he could experience it at least once!
Best film ever and your reaction to greetings from Sweden.
Hejsan Stefan, tack för titten! 😊
I love English whit! I haven’t watched this film yet but I definitely plan on it, thanks for your review!👍🇨🇦
greatest movie ever. great reaction
Great film, great reaction
My favourite movie of all time, an absolute lightning in a bottle masterpiece.
I love your reaction. It's my favourite vfilm
Thank you 🙂
I hope you do more reactions. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks!
Life and mental health really got in the way, but i haven't stopped thinking about ways to get going with reactions again. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for doing this one!!!
Yep, now you are starting to see, why this was such a beloved movie, I came on TH-cam to find if I could purchase the movie, couldn't and decided to watch this video instead.
Just want to say, well done, you nailed this video, and I enjoyed watching your first time reaction 👍
Thank you for the kind words!
Richard Griffiths plays Monty.
Brilliant reaction
Monty is hilarious 😂😂
Richard E. Grant is actually allergic to alcohol, but the director got him smashed so he could inhabit the character. He ended up with a hangover that we normals cannot possibly imagine. And Mrs.E.Grant was pregnant during the filming and suffered a miscarriage. Even for a comedy about unemployment, alcoholism and unrequited homosexual desire, it has a lot of tragic subtexts.
Great movie
In the animated Doctor Who, Scream of the shalka (I hope that's correct) Richard E Grant almost plays the Doctor as Withnail
He was The Great Intelligence in S7 of DW too, wasn't he?
It’s a very quotable movie
The thing about the beginning is that they're coming down from three days on speed
Classic! Is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas on your list?
Good job
You got it.
I love this film, I named my ragdoll Monty after the character
Love this film so much I called my Ragdoll Monty
Where did you go?? Only 2 react videos?
Life hit me with some problems plus mental health issues. I'm still thinking of ways to start the channel up again.
Thank you for watching.
Richard E Grant is a treasure. And this one is beyond wonderful (and heartbreaking). May I ask where you're from?
Agreed about Richard E Grant.
I'm from Sweden.
@@haloscan5138 Lovely, I had moments where I thought you were Welsh! My dad and granny were welsh and you have a lilt that's similar. Your conversational phrases made it clear you aren't, but I was confused for bits. Glad you enjoyed it!
I saw this fantastic film when it was released and have seen it well over 3000 times. There was a summer where I watched it every single day from May to August before I went to work in Prestos. Easily my most favourite film. Amazing characters. A lot of hidden depths. Very accurate depiction of a much better time. And all based on true events. Vivian Mackerrell, the chap that was the influence for Withnail, actually drank lighter fluid and went blind for 3 days because of it. Bruce Robinson attributes MacKerrell cancer to him drinking said lighter fluid. Love this film with a deep passion. There's a pretty good book called 'Withnail and the Romantic Imagination: A Eulogy' by Maisie Robson that goes into some of the themes in the film. Well worth a read!
Impressive! Over one watch every four and a half days since 1987!
@@mattrichards915 Matt and his windows calculator being pedantic when it actually was like that for a very long time. I can quote the film from start to finish. It's just a brilliant film. I did say, I watched every single day at certain periods, so that dispels your four and a half days since 1987 smart assed ness, Matt.. You should watch it yourself.
My favourite movie is your only reaction...... Did you die during covid?
No no, just haven't had the strength to work on this channel. Life's been a bit rough. Thanks for your concern, though.
If you lack the cultural insight to recognise Withnail's aversion to spending an evening in company with an insane homosexual (as a professional male actor!) of that era then commenting upon classic English movies is not for you. I refer to the "shit in your face" not the accent - or perhaps you are also unaware of Pulp Fiction?
