- God Bless America is a great film, now available On Demand, and coming in May to theatres. This is a clip of what was probably my favorite moment in the film, as Frank begins to fight back verbally over the vapidity of modern American culture. Order this film from your cable or satellite company and watch it NOW, or see it in May at your local theatre.

Such an underrated movie
+Dotson Carter I am a rare breed. I like the art house, b movies, independent films.
Less underrated, and more like criminally non-rated. I wonder why Hollywood never gave this message of a movie the time of day
Way too real for america. from the UK its a gem.
@@IsThisThingEvenOnOrWhat No wonder at all
This movie is absolutely fucking amazing! Also I think we’re all on some sort FBI list now for commenting about this movie. 😂
I'm only 20 and I'm turning into Frank.
I'm only 14 and I would say 2/3rd of me is frank.
***** I'm only Frank and I'm turning into 20.
DannyPlayzHD I'm turning and 20 Frank's
+Mean Mr Mustard Father Frank dwells in all of us. Amon!
Same -.-
". . . while I live in an apartment with paper-thin walls next to a couple of Neanderthals, who, instead of a baby, decided to give birth to some kind of nocturnal civil defense air raid siren that goes off every fucking night like it's Pearl Harbor."
I lost my shit.
Everyone just regurgitates what they seen on television now a days.
Remeber, Frank is former military guy
Reminds me of Falling Down. This rant was spot on.
He nailed it with the last comment.
"Why have a civilisation anymore, if we no longer are interested in being civilised"
Frank is not a hypocrite at all...
No one said he isn't. That's. Is part of the commentary. He also knows what he is doing is crazy.
"Why have a civilization anymore if we no longer are interested in being civilized ??? "
If only more people had this man's brain. 🥰
I was the first person on Earth who translated this movie into Russian! 😊 Can not believe it was eleven years ago! 😊😊😊
I love this movie. Not because of the literal actions of the characters, but because they're so fed up with the rest of society. The rants are epic and that's where I identify with the characters. We live in a world full of empty-headed people who have nothing more to say than what they repeat off of television. The murder spree is just a metaphor to move from one idiot to another. After the rash of crazy shootings in the USA, the movie theater scene was hard to watch. But I can identify with the frustration of having to share space with people who seem to be just taking up space. Turn off the TV. Read a book. Do something with your time besides watching TV.
I agree I loved the movie but you gotta admit, they blew their load early. all the rants were in the beginning and I wish they either had more or layered it evenly.
@@Specterkc Amen. When Joel Murray's Character (Frank) goes on a shooting spree, that's when the movie goes astray.. Had it stuck to him trying to make a point and preaching to people more then the movie would've been a much bigger hit with greater impact.
After the rash of crazy shootings in the USA, the movie theater scene was hard to watch´´... fuck of, you dont give 2 shits about it.. yeah for likes you do probebly.>
posting stuff on facebook about it probebly for the likes.
you would be a target in this movie, think about that.
@@Kirby5413 why? Most people are beyond hope. Cut to the chase and put a bullet in their chest.
The whole point of this movie was just how rational it is for someone with nothing to lose to take their anger out on a society who has devolved into... this. For all their bluster about mass shootings the media is to blame for all of it and their approach to sensationalizing mass shootings isn't that far off from how it's portrayed in this. One could imagine after franks rampage the whole thing would just be fit into the regular stream of "content" that he was so fed up with to begin with and nothing would change. The fact that humanity IS so ignorant and vicious with only a fig leaf of morality and chews up and spits people out... why theres no recourse for the victims of the emotional toll this society has on people who are unwilling to participate in its farce of 'civilization' and 'democracy', is exactly why anyone can sympathize with this movie and therefore sympathize with mass shooters.
Until we actually understand why they do what they do and fix the why, mass shootings are going to continue to happen. And the shit part is we already know why, we just don't want to empathize with it because that empathy for those who have been demonized by society makes us look bad even though it's the only possible solution. Until we can convince the disenfranchised that they can walk into a crowded street and throw a stone and not hit hit someone who deserves to die... that the average person isn't indiscriminately an ignorant, vile, amoral piece of human garbage and maybe you need to be a bit more specific with where you point that gun. Like yeah they have every right to be fed up but its our responsibility as a society to make this a world where if they actually pointed a gun at the people to blame for their strife that random fucking pedestrians wouldn't cut it.
Wow he speaks the utter truth.
Now I wonder why this movie is underrated and not popular.
yeah, people just don't have any sense of community anymore, that's why we feel so drained, it's unhealthy. As nice as individualism and consumerism are, they neglect some pretty basic things about us
America needs Frank.
It gets Frank, at least 2-3 times a year and riising exponentially.
World needs Frank
Perhaps one of top 10 rants in movies of all time.
Should I worry if people keep shooting paper clips at me during meetings?
Yeah, you should run as far away as possible. If you're still alive to read this.
"I live in an apartment with paper-thin walls next to a couple of Neanderthals who instead of a baby, decided to give birth to some kind of nocturnal civil defense air-raid siren that goes off every fucking night like it's Pearl Harbor!"
FUCKING EPIC.
This movie is brilliant in so many ways :')
I love you Frank, I love you so much.
This is more than just a movie (to people who don't get it) here's a list of similar films to watch: They Live (1988), Nineteen Eighty Four(1984), Wag The Dog(1997), The Running Man (1987), Herodim (2013), and watch a documentary called "Wake Up Call", and "Alan Watt Reality Check". Then you'll finally understand this film and the reality we really live in. And feel free to call arrogant if you must.
Thank you very much
And don't forget Taxi driver, and Joker.
rampage by uwe boll had some interesting themes and yes it's uwe boll but it;s his best work
Fight Club, and Falling Down as well. Wish there were more movies like this but I get the feeling society doesn't like getting called out for how shallow, and misdirected it really is.
@@ztk1138 if we’re adding those, I’ll add The King Of Comedy to the list.
I never knew that was Bill Murray's brother. Joel is awesome.
"oh i get it. and i am offended." ❤️
32 people are American Superstar fans.
This film, once examined for what it is, brings up real flaws with modern society, trickling down from the media, or perhaps the media just gives the masses what they want. Chicken or the egg? We laud those who are simply put, mean people, those who have no moral fiber and seek to exploit the weak for personal gain and public recognition. What is right and wrong has become secondary to what sells and what if the truth is boring, it is painted and falsified to become exciting. That girl on Sweet 16 is a byproduct of the world in which she was raised and the backwards priorities that are constantly reinforced to be acceptable. We need to change from the top-down, so what trickles down is the truth, however boring it might be.
Don't think anything can change from the top-down, unless everything starts changing on an individual level, bottom-up. But that would require a world-wide crisis or cataclysm, or a common enemy from outer space. That's just human nature, we all need conflict. It would take a huge event to wake us up from our collective dream.
@@ksawery6568 We need to usher in a Renaissance of American Culture. A rebirth of the 1940-50s America!
And that's how Donald Trump became our President, because people didn't want a president, they wanted an idol that reflects who they are and what they gravitate towards.
I love this movie. I love this scene. I love this speech. It summed up nearly everything I've been screaming at people and it lets me know I'm not the only one disgusted with what we've become. So long as breath draws within my lungs, I promise to continue the good fight. What say you?
Watched Don´t look up yesterday and now I srsly need to watch God Bless America again to level the plain field.
They're both pandering awful movies.
Bobcat, thank you for this film (and Shakes The Clown). This scene is even more relevant in 2018. Kind of unsettling too in that, we have actually gotten worse and seem even more proud of it.
Don't forget "World's Greatest Dad".
In 2021 the world accelerated frighteningly to the point that this movie needs to be remade.
From the "oh no, you didn't say that" generation, we're at cancel culture
Like Idiocracy, God Bless America has become documentary instead of comedic fiction.
This movie is fucking awesome.
Lost count of how many times I have watched this
Yes! I was specifically looking for THIS clip (while watching the film for the second time). Found it on my first try! This is the one of THE BEST dialogue moments in the film! I love it. It says a lot about our sad, pathetic society.
This was the most to the point, spot on analyses I have ever herd. I've been having nightmares because of our civilization collapsing but this brings back my hope for humanity. This was perfect.
All hope is gone 😑🤷🤦
Just remember that the people who actually still remember and care about this kind of stuff are the minority and as far as the rest of society is concerned, they don't matter.
“Did you just kill Chloe?”
“Yeah!”
“Awesome!!”
Perhaps one of the boldest, disturbing, satirical, and outrageous films I've ever seen. It might even put the equally shocking FALLING DOWN (which both have in common) or GRAN TORINO to shame?
lmao this rant describes modern society perfectly
I...I love this man...
Best film ever checked out from the library besides Network. Has an classic element that makes it standout from the rest.
At first I didn't know who the protagonist was, but when I continued I ended up loving this. Praise and bless you and your children
Here, here.. Love this scene! How true, every single word!
I feel like frank every day of my life. Well, every other day.
Absolutely one of my top 5 favourite movies.
This was one of the best films I have seen in the last 15 years.
ironic how this movie sells itself with shocking images.
This movie was ahead of its time!
I've always wanted a movie that discussed this. I love it.
I was 'Frank' before I turned 18 and I'm still 'Frank' today.
This movie should be seen by everyone, but it's 'too real' for the majority. smh...
It's the most surreal thing to watch this and then scroll down and see all the people that didn't get it.
I agree, when I was younger I was obsessed with idiotic, vulgar shows and movies but when I got older I matured and now am more interested in media with real depth and intelligence, like most people should be. I only wish most creative minds in Hollywood would mature also, but it seems they've only grown more immature the older they get.
I just watched this movie tonight, and it's so god damn good. I was sitting in my seat just saying "Oh my god, I totally agree."
As prophetic as Idiocracy
What do you get when you combine Office Space, Idiocracy, and Natural Born Killers? Only one of the greatest goddamn underrated socially concious black comedies of all time. God bless Bob Goldthwaite.
Oh, and Falling Down..
God bless Frank
' I'm sure the girls from "2 Girls 1 Cup" are gonna have their own dating show on VH-1 any day now' that line cracks me up every time ahahahahahaa!! what a movie
We need you Frank
This scene has more meaning today.
Fast becoming my favourite movie of all time, absolutely true from start to finish!
People don’t realise how pathetic their lives are, their only value is posting a pathetic photo online to get likes, it’s so immature
Funny how he never mentions hip-hop. I guess The Boondocks has it covered...
Probably just the movie writers trying to avoid any accusations of "Dat's racist!!!"
Every time I feel bitter and twisted , I come here to iron out my nerves with Frank :-)
He brings up a lot of good points. I don't blame him one bit.
Best movie yet. Ever.
This is passionate expression of truth, driven by frustration. I think the word rant is overused in this Orwellian reality of ours. Loved this movie, very much. Great scene.
Goddammit, this hit home hard.
I'm 21 and I totally agree. It sucks to be surrounded by people like that. I feel like Frank all the time.
0.58 the guy in the background!! LMFAO
whope!
I'm so happy I saw this little clip. It has lead me to, recently, my all-time favorite movie. I know this is pretty ironic what me being on youtube promoting a movie like this, but this is the only movie I can really connect with. I wish they took me along with them.
Just watch it, if you don't like it, hopefully it will reveal to you what you should actually be pissed off at.
Frank since i saw this 7 years ago Each day now i think you had the fucking right idea Sir.
0:57
"NOPE"
Yeah, the mainstream is fucked up, I'm glad everyone agrees...
oh my god, yes frank, YESSsssss!
Best.Rant.Ever!
I applaud you for your honesty, and thank you for speaking truth. I just hope one day not only us americans, but all of us get out of this dreadful mentality that we are in right now.
Well… This comment didn’t age very good.
@@Mrmedia046 It became much worse
@@Mrmedia046 Don't worry. 2024 is America's end.
amazing! movie, watched lastnight. just incredible.
def making the best of list .
This scene remembered me to the film American Beauty.
randomly thought of this movie because i was thinking about society... glad i looked it up again. a must see and must-rewatch
straight out of "Society of the Spectacle" by Guy Debord
I loved this movie when my friend showed it to me! I need to find this movie on Blu-ray!
This scene has become so much more real since this movie came out.
Hahahaha he shot tom kenny...aka spongebob
THE only thing I hated about this film. Haha.
But, his voice-over work throughout the film made up for it.
This is probably my favorite satire of all time (sixth favorite film ever).
@@RobbKong999 same love this movie too, what are youre other 5 favorite movies?
@@FerNanda-sb9ke Taxi Driver, Blue Velvet, American Psycho, Apocalpyse Now and Fargo.
"A shocking comment carries more weight than the truth". Isn't this so relevant with Donald Trump running in 2016?
Trump 2020 MAGA
Sometimes it feels like it would be nice to be one of the many people ignorant to everything.
How the HELL did I miss this flick!
Exactly 🤷
6:10 even Spongebob is speachless
This is so spooky! Stumbled across this vid after basically having the exact same thoughts this evening and I’d never even heard of the film before
That's not a sign; it means you're highly susceptible to subversive propaganda. Get help.. no, really.
My favourite movie of all time!!!!!!!
No one here is pure, we're as just as responsible.
Happy to see that I am not alone.
It depends on the environment. Listen to the conversations people have on public transport or at restaurants, and I guarantee you'll be shocked at the level of obscenity and lewdness that finds its way into the conversation.
this still hold on strong to day
Yes the guy with the large glasses.
Masz Pan rację. Uwielbiam ten monolog... bo w zasadzie jest to monolog.
Love this movie
Wow
The calm before the storm.
I like this part. I normally don't really like lecture moments in films, and I don't even totally agree with this, but I feel it is just well done, realistically speaking as well as entertainment-wise.
Yes. Yes. Yes. And yes.
Tom Kenny (voice of Spongebob) at 4:46 and at the beginning.
Oh, I love this movie so much.
...The Times They Are a-Changin
This is truly just the beginning, I am not here trying to justify the turn society has inevitably taken but I am reaching out to those who fight it and say "lets go back". Every generation strives to break the mold, destroy the cultural taboos we once considered sacred. Unfortunately no one is able to stop it. Those days have passed & all we have now are memories. All I suggest is to grab a book, let go, find something you care about & embrace life for what it is.
The way Frank and his friend sit is really interesting
Beautifully written. A stand out scene that oozes with an uncomfortable truth.
A voice of reason
I'm 24 and already have become just like Frank Murdoch
Oh no! he didn't say that...
i think he's speaking of humanity in general. and what he speaks is the truth.
Ah damn, you are right it's Geoff Pierson. He plays Thomas Matthews, the cocky boss on Dexter.
