I remember seeing this movie when it came out and really liked it. Don't sweat people giving you crap for not liking it. There are really problematic things that happen in this movie that I didn't really understand when I was 12 or so. I can't help feeling nostalgic about this movie but I completely understand when people have a negative reaction to it. And I hope you had a happy birthday
For as many times as I've seen this movie, there's one thing I never noticed until you mentioned it. Long Duk Dong is not only using his knife and fork backward, but he's doing it because he's using them as chopsticks.
Back in the 80's and 90's in the US, some high schools would have a school directory with all the student's contact information like phone numbers and addresses. At least my high school did.
I love this movie, but i thought your reaction was sweet. Teen films in the 70s and 80s were incredibly suggestive. I think things are almost too sanitized today, i would like a happy medium, lol. You should do Grease next, but you will be disturbed even more perhaps. Like, i was shocked by the lyrics in some of the songs, that are totally not pg13 at all! Thank you for the recap.
That’s lovely thank you! I agree with you! I have already seen Grease 💁♀️ although I haven’t watched it since I was a young teen. I’d probably notice a lot more dodgy stuff on it now that I would have then though 😅 for sure! Thanks for your comment & sharing your perspective 🫶🏻💕💕☺️
Happy Birthday. Just noticed your channel today and subscribed. Got the notification on and look forward to when you post. Have you seen the movie Fallen? Its a supernatural thriller and it has Denzel Washington and John Goodman in it.
@@BobbyG716 the storyline sounds pretty good actually! Thanks for recommending it ☺️ I love a sci-fi mystery. Not good with horror! 🫢😂😂 But I’ll do it for a good storyline 🙌 will probs be entertaining also 👐🫠😭😂
Happy birthday! In retrospect, there are a lot of ethical problems in this film that weren't really taken seriously back in the 80s when it came out. I think it is a good sign that we've evolved enough to realize that it is problematic today. I was in high school in the 80s and the movie's dialog is not far off from actual teenagers at the time. So...problematic, yes. We just didn't realize it back then. Still, I think it is a good look into that time period and the film is funny, well-made and somewhat romantic. It remains an iconic John Hughes film. Just for the record though, that party was out of hand - even for America. I've never heard of a house party being that big, destructive or insane. Usually, the cops would show up at the first sign that there might be drunken teens, so parties were kept quiet and usually stayed in someone's basement.
I attended many parties that were pretty wild. Lots of folks don't remember (or know) that the drinking age back then was 18. I'd been to many keg parties in high school, it's how our prom committee raised money for prom each year. I've seen a bunch of parties (not in a house, but field, sandbar, etc.) were there were several hundred people, several kegs, a few hundred pounds of crawfish, etc. (especially on senior skip day at the lake... when everybody skipped).
@@shanehebert396 wow pretty wild! We don’t really have such gatherings like that in the uk. Just the pubs and clubs and the odd house gathering… never on such a scale as what was in this movie though! No where near!! 🫨
I wanted to say a lot of things but I couldn't think of anything nice to say about your negative viewpoint so I'll just say "Happy Birthday" and leave it at that.
Hope you had a good birthday. I would suggest you react to the film "Better Off Dead" from the early 80s, if you haven't already seen it. Despite the title, it is a comedy.
As a gen x'er, I agree. I was 14 or 15 when I first watched it.. Definitely, the satire and humor went over her head, from the 80s. This is why I'm not easily offended by most. Our generation knows where to separate comedy and political correctness. 😅 John Hughes movies were funny, even re-watching them today.
Not a diss, please don't take it that way, but since subscribing to a couple reaction channels I've noticed others suggested to me by YT. EVERYBODY and their sister is doing one of these channels, man. Like, it's a THING
That’s what happens when millennials and gen z watch gen x movies. You are to offended by everything to find any comedy in anything. We didn’t take life so seriously back than and we could laugh at things unlike kids today that aren’t happy unless they cancel someone or be offended by something. I suggest lighting up a little. It’s a comedy just relax and go with it. Yes things are different now but I’m sure you know us older folks love these movies. And every generation but yours has a problem with gen z so maybe look at that before you bash of generations. That why so many people just hate the way the world is now. No one knows how to laugh and have fun anymore. Especially kids to worried about oh you can’t say that and oh you can’t do that. Just breathe and learn to have fun and live a little bit. Your generation will be much happier. You guys are so pissed and angry all the time. Why you have it way easier than we did as kids. But I can bet I enjoyed my childhood way more than any of you guys are today.
I guess we just don’t accept things cause people tell us we should. Like you get talked down to cause your lower class, a woman different skin colour it’s “just the way it is”. We have the audacity to say no and stuff and people who didn’t end resent them for speaking up.
It’s not about accepting being treating badly. No one should accept that. But some things are a joke and meant to be funny. Sometimes it’s ok to laugh at inappropriate things. It’s why people are so frustrated with your generation. Just relax and have fun. You can laugh at fucked up shit and it’s still ok. I mean come I. Every generation but yours complains about gen z and their hyper sensitivity. Smoke a joint and just have some fun girl. It’s really not that serious lol
@@sweetkiss119 well that’s kind of what I meant about it being a grey area film. Things that happened to you or someone you know that’s affected their entire life isn’t really going to be funny to you is it. So I can accept you enjoyed it 👐 but I can’t pretend I did I’m afraid, apart from the bits that I did find funny of course 💁♀️ other than that it worries me a bit cause stuff like that happens. But thanks for commenting your view point. I’m positive you’re not the only one that has this view point 💁♀️
@@Purdyflexreactions Yes, growing up in that world was harder. We mostly had divorced parents who both worked and were home by ourselves and had complete freedom. We didn't have school shootings, metal detectors or security guards in our schools. Even the idea of someone coming to our school to shoot us wasn't even a thought back then. If we had problems we couldn't call and bother mommy or daddy at work. We had to figure things out on our own. We had freedom to watch or listen to anything we wanted, so we were exposed to adult situations as young as 9 or 10. Having said that, what our lives were like actually made us educated, well rounded and a much stronger generation. The Covid lockdown was a breeze for us, because we spent our youth alone finding ways to entertain ourselves and we didn't have internet or cell phones back then. Shielding your kids from the real world and overprotecting them only hurts them because when they do become adults, they have a much harder time adjusting to the harsh realities of the real world. Very little scares or offends us because you can't show us almost anything we haven't already seen. We were a live and let live generation and being gay wasn't as bad back then as people say now. I find being gay more hostile now than back then and would gladly go back in time to then if I could. It was a blast. Morals are a perception based on your reality. Just because you think something is immoral doesn't mean it is. Girls and women knew how to handle themselves back then and didn't get as offended as your generation does watching movies like this. My parents had a saying, "Someday you will laugh at this." They were right.
Haha errrrrrm hummmm 🤔😂 oh dear 🫠😂 I think it would be a good film to show in schools actually to show the morality perspectives and that. Teach them some very valuable life lessons from this.
* This movie is proof positive that the 80's were quite cringeworthy, if you go by our perspective today. Whenever I feel like we've made no progress since the 80's, all I have to do is watch a movie like this, and it reassures me that we've come a long ways since the 80's..........a long ways.
I remember seeing this movie when it came out and really liked it. Don't sweat people giving you crap for not liking it.

@@DapperZach thanks for this lovely comment 💕🥹 & thanks for sharing your experience of the film too I enjoyed reading it 🙌 ☺️
I agree, I felt that way about Grease, it's nostalgic, but so inappropriate!

Ha yeah! That’s a hard skill he flexing 😂

Omg really! Thats a juicy fact thanks for that, I had absolutely no idea 👐😂💕💕

And wonderful reaction:))
Omg thank youuuuuuu 🥰💕🫶🏻🥳 😁
No problem ha i hope you are having a legit birthday so far😁🎉@@Purdyflexreactions
Happy Birthday. Just noticed your channel today and subscribed. Got the notification on and look forward to when you post.
Have you seen the movie Fallen? Its a supernatural thriller and it has Denzel Washington and John Goodman in it.
Love that💕 thanks so much! 🙌 no never seen it! John Goodman and denzil!?!? I’ll have a look and add that to my list! 🙌😄👍
Bro…. Fallen looks scary 🫢
@@Purdyflexreactions it kind of is a little scary but at the same time a good movie in my option. Also not many reaction channels have reacted to it.
@@BobbyG716 the storyline sounds pretty good actually! Thanks for recommending it ☺️
I love a sci-fi mystery. Not good with horror! 🫢😂😂
But I’ll do it for a good storyline 🙌
will probs be entertaining also
👐🫠😭😂
I was in high school in the 80s, political correctness has robbed future generations of such a great time for teenagers.
Good. I hope it stays that way :D
Happy birthday!

You should probably watch uncle Buck or home alone, maybe planes, trains, and automobiles 28:42
I love uncle buck such a great film! and home alone. Never seen planes trains and automobiles though! I’ll add that to my list 🙌 thanks!
@@Purdyflexreactions Just add all John Candy movies to your list and you can't go wrong.🙂
@@MovieVigilante good call! I haven’t seen all of them that’s for sure 💕

When you got shocked over some profanity and nudity early on, i knew you'd be clutching your pearls too much to appreciate this film. Too bad.
Well ….arnt you charming 😂
