I'd say this film is every bit as relatable today. With how much modern dating has become focused on physical attraction and financial status, modern day Martys are even more screwed than when this film was released.
I am 39 and I saw a Facebook clip of Marty talking to his mother and it really moved me. So I went to prime video and wouldn’t you know it Marty was there with four days left before it was removed. I watched the movie and I loved it. I go down and see my mother every day we live in the same apartment complex but she lives in the elderly section. We sit outside and I chat with the elderly men that live there all in their late 60s to mid 70s. I asked if any of them had seen Marty and none of them had to my surprise. I’m single I’ve been rejected a lot. But I’m not gonna stop trying. Hopefully I have a happy ending like Marty did.
Relationships are just unnecessary cows to breed. There’s more trouble and heartache that comes out of it than anything good. Even when you bring kids into it the kids start to suffer too after watching your partner fight with you and you can’t help but to feel guilt for it. Just save yourself the trouble friend.
Don’t look for what others say they want in a partner, look for what you need. Marty is trapped by the expectations of others, his friends, his bothers, even his mother. When he finds someone, the y don’t want her for him, because they don’t want her for themselves. The act of Marty making the decision that this is about him and what he wants is the climax of his character progression. It is the realization, not the actual relationship itself, that leads Marty to the path to happiness. There is a powerful message in there for the young men of today - don’t trust other people to tell you what will make you happy
I actually see the feelings of his Mother and Angie differently. As opposed to not wanting her for themselves, I feel their rejection of Clara is a result that when he falls in love finally at the age of 34 they will lose their relationship with Marty. Her devoted son who has lived with her and Angie's best friend of countless years moving emotionally and physically away from them. Too much for them to lose. Their demands for Marty's attention and devotion full time would squash any serious romantic relationship, regardless of the woman. It speaks of the self preservation aspect of our nature regardless how selfless we think we may be. What think you about my analysis? I have watched this movie so many times I could probably act it out line for line by any character. My hubby will say to me, You can't be watching this again! I'll say yes sir, I catch different things each time I watch it. Next thing I know he'll call out, I never noticed that! Proved my point without having to say another word!! So much to learn about human nature from this magnificent film.
There's plenty of Marty's out there (me included) that is looking for the same opportunity as he did; something to change their minds about their own current situations.
after trying many, many, (and many more), times, I was always turned down so years ago I gave up. I'm 67 now, and still single. Pretty sure that blows a hole in your theory there. 😐
There are those in the world who are meant to be alone regardless of what we may want. Experience has shown me that the search, at least for me, is futile. The pain is not worth the prize.
The moral of the story is "decide for yourself... don't live by the words of others "... because if things go good ,you will feel ok but if things go bad ,you will blame others, that's the worst thing to happen to a man
This is a well-done little summary. Pleasant background music and just enough disclosure to keep the viewer wanting more. One of my favorites from the 1940s is Cabin in the Sky.
Wow didn’t expect this video to be seen! Thank you to everyone who viewed, liked, commented, or subscribed! I will be making a new video soon, I’m appreciative of the support and recommendations from everyone.
You did a great job. Not only did you give great insight into the movie in a very effective manner through your method of presentation in your video, just by recognizing the movie as being an underrated film has made me want to watch it. I’ve never heard of it before and I love discovering and watching great old films I’ve never seen. If you do more videos like this on other underrated films I would definitely watch them.
If I may add to the end of this video,…. Back then people were far more optimistic then they are now. And the ending is not ambiguous but hopeful. They’ve already established how well Marty and his new girl are. He’s also demonstrated his independence of everyone else in relation to her. They go have a happy ever after because they TRY TO. Something many people since have stopped believing in. Optimism.
I was 8 in 1955 when my mother took me to this movie with my brother and sister. Didn’t understand it at all but my mom loved it. Just watched it last night with my wife and adult granddaughter. It is a wonderful movie. Highly recommended
Holy hell on roller skates, my jaw dropped when I realised this was the guy who played Mermaid Man. My naive and uncultured Millenial brain then went on a rabbit hole of all the things he's been in, which shocked me even more, but in a good way. A fantastic actor and a great man.
It means moron, that it isn't popular like it used to be and the majority of this generation would rather have their nose up Tay Swifts behind than to seek out these movies and books. Calm your tit's.
It's so sad. This is how we are losing our humanity. Instead of looking at a guy like Marty with empathy and sympathy, we ostracize them and try to destroy what little self worth they have of themselves. We live in a very sick time.
This is one of my favorite movies. It has a lot of messages. Particularly the pressure of marriage for the purpose of raising kids. It's really not about marriage. It's about family and keeping generations of the family thriving and taking care of those who raised us. It's not 'marriage' for 'marriage sake'. It's about 'good enough' and marriage as a means to the family purpose (marriage just 'implies' making that mother some grand-kids). I think 'good enough' is lost on people today. I'd say marriage for the purpose of creating the next generation is lost on people as well. So much dating today is really just because we have birth control and not for the purpose of creating family intentionally or even making the sacrifice of marriage for the betterment of raising kids. Family is important. Family is a purpose. A lot of folks feel inadequate for people who really have 'no purpose' and really shouldn't feel lonely (aka: lonely for not being able to have a lady of 'no purpose'? Never cry of a lady of 'no purpose'). Marty overcomes the noise and succeeds because he's 'good enough' and she's 'good enough' (he's real... not chasing rainbows and unicorns... he knows his limits... unlike a lot of us as confusing sexual attraction for their own 'limits' in a purposeful relationship that would create family). It's hopeful and about getting real and a chance encounter and not passing up 'good enough' (too many people figure that out too late and 'good enough' has passed them by.... and there's nothing more lonely than perpetual dating without a purpose... beyond recreation... as the cheap thrill will wear off and you'll realize you have nothing for all the rotations you've done with so many people).
Believe it or not, a little known underrated gem was Stewart Granger in The Woman Hater, 1948. The hunter got captured by the game and who proved to be more calculating and resilient.
What I loved about the movie Marty is that every character seemed to have some depth. Even Marty's best friend Angie had his own personal reasons for not wanting Marty to pursue Clara, which made me curious about what may have been going on in his personal life.
Yes, and both films released in 1955. I never used to think of 1955 as a vintage year for American film but, on looking back, there were more good movies made than I realised! (And btw, 1955 is also my birth year so am very interested to know what the best ones were!)
Please make more videos mate, i hope someday this chanel will get big someday. From watching this i can already feel this vid was made from the heart and is genuine, that alone made me subcribe. Marty was a masterpiece of a movie and a must see, same as this vid. Thank you for making this and have a great day :3
That table scene was so relatable. I think a lot of men feel this way. This movie was surprisingly thoughtful about its portrayal of people dealing with loneliness and heartache. It even had confessions of suicidal ideation. Also the scene where Marty was telling her about how her doubts/negative thoughts are just her getting in her own way. The scene where Marty tries to kiss her and has what we would consider a pity party today sticks with me. I wonder if that was normal behavior for the time or just a story telling technique they were using where its not meant to be exactly literal just a way to show us how he is feeling through dramatic means even if he comes off badly. Speaking of badly most of the guys in this movie are jerks and Marty is better off without them. Clara was very lovely in this movie and had very progressive and modern views.
Superb analysis. A lot of videos out there (mine included) focus on the black pilled, doomer convo between Marty and his mother at the dinner table. However, you provided a beautiful analysis of events transpiring before and after that heartbreaking and powerful scene. I hope you do more of these.
“Jubal”….1954. Also stars Ernest Borgnine along with Glenn Ford . It’s a western with a heart warming underlying of overcoming a mother’s cruel rejection and the search for finding compassion in life . Fantastic movie with an all star cast .
I was born a few years after this was out. I am Marty. After a life filled with rejection I am an old man alone. Sure it would have been nice to have someone, but those days of hope are over a long time ago and it’s just memories of the past now. Most people are so shallow I would rather be alone anyway. Had a good life. Made a lot happen. Didn’t really need anyone.
Great analysis on Marty! A couple of films I recommend you watch are "Seven Samurai", "High and Low", "Ikiru", and "Its a Wonderful Life". Great comfy films, especially during the fall season! Hopefully you make an analysis on these in the future 🤗
The first three movies you mentioned were directed by the great Akira Kurosawa! They are some of cinema's greatest classics tho' don't know if I'd deem *Seven Samurai* and *High and Low* as comfy, but certainly well worth watching. Interesting that *It's a Wonderful Life* (Frank Capra) wasn't as popular on its release as it became over the years - now one of the classics. With time comes a re-evaluation of art, music, literature, and drama (theater and film) and it's encouraging to see when "forgotten" emerges as something worth seeing.
Great review, I have loved this movie for years thanks for reviewing it. Surprised you didn’t mention that Ernest Borgnine won the Oscar for best actor with this film. Cheers keep up the great work
You did a very good analysis of this beautiful film and the music you chose was perfect. I came away with the same feeling about Marty's mother (and Angie) that you did. The rejection of Clara was a matter of their own preservation of their relationships with Marty. I thought it was profound when you watched the realization by both of them of what they stood to lose. Had his mother's sister not scared the living daylights out of her, Marty's mother may have reacted differently because she knew Marty's love for her. After losing it about going to the Starlight Ballroom, Marty sat down at the plate of food she had loving cooked for him and patted her on the arm. She, in turn, apologized to him when she fussed at him the day after. They had a secure bond. Angie went into a panic when he couldn't find Marty and then later treated he and Clara badly on the street. Jealousy set in and i think the thought of losing Marty's time overcame him. Sad, repetitive, Gound Hog Day lives but he had Marty. Self preservation. You nailed it!!
In the 1950s and 60s, USA and UK filmmakers excelled at what was called "kitchen sink dramas" ( I don't think we called it that here in the States, more of a British term). Instead of big epic movies, these examined the lives of "ordinary people". I've long thought they were more adult, not only in the themes but also in the way they were crafted. Many were unpretentious (tho' I think the Brits were more experimental with camera techniques and such). I love *A Patch of Blue* (1965) with Sidney Poitier, Elizabeth Hartman, and Shelley Winters. Even with big-name stars (Poitier, Winters) it had a grittiness, authenticity and truth that bigger-budgeted, slick "all star" productions lacked.
i couldn't believe in the episode of rocko's modern life: Rocko's Happy Sack Marty's character has a small scene he says "I'm a fat ugly butcher from Brooklyn I'll never get married"😳
Thanks for talking so well and with such good insight about this great film - and for calling attention to it. I hope it inspires people who haven't seen it to seek it out and view it. (I don't think of it as 'underrated,' though, since in 1955, it won the Oscar for Best Movie, in addition to Borgnine winning for Best Actor. A classic film. But perhaps you meant it would be underrated by some current audiences? In any case, I think you've presented a wonderful analysis.) By the way, have you seen the 1994 movie, Quiz Show, which makes reference to Marty?
Excellent! Love your analysis. How about Lost in Yonkers, there's a scence that no matter how many times I've seen it, over 5 times, thanks to Mercedes Ruehl acting I cried everytime.
My only complaint is typical Hollywood (even back then) refused to not cast women as they are written. Every man (except Marty) calls her a dog, basically ugly, but the actress playing her wasn't ugly. Sure she was not a beauty on the level of women like Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly but this woman was no where near a dog in looks.
This film could easily be remade with today's problems, as the video creator stated. I wonder about the casting of the original film, how exactly did the main actors' agents pitch the idea? The character Marty admits that he is ugly and fat, the character Teresa gets called a dog repeatedly. That would be an ego deflation to all but a few very talented actors.
Poor Marty. He’s literally me. I’m burnt out too man. I got enough of my heart broken too 😭 Rejected too just like Marty was except the girl didn’t comfort me and chose to block me on instagram. Some life huh?
@@Jurassic_Edits83 In school on the first day. Man we literally fell in love at first sight. We were so connected and had the same personality. When I met it it was like I finally met someone I could relate to and the world wasn’t all darkness anymore. Anyway we knew each other for a month and a half then I asked her out on a date and she was super stoked to go. So we had a blast the whole time watching a movie in the theater, getting ice cream, going to a park, and then something told me in my gut to tell her I like her more than a friend and so I did and then it finally got awkward near the end. I know it was a stupid decision but you gotta understand not only was her and me really close already and flirting a lot but I’ve never even been on a date before and watch a lot of movies. So how can you Blame me for not knowing you shouldn’t do that on the first date?
A young Ernest Borgnine portrayed as an undesirable bachelor is rather comical considering that he would end up married to Tova of Tova Cosmetics, one of the most beautiful women in the world. She found him down on his luck, picked him up and told him "you are better than this", helped him get reintroduced into the acting world, married him and the rest is history.
What do you wanna do Marty? I dunno what do you wannna do? 😂😂😂😂 one of my all time favorites. Some people pass on blessings because of the unrealistic expectations of others.
in the 1950s 34 years old was seen as older then it is now but I do understand what you are saying I am almost 37 and I myself have no kids and am not married. I even have an uncle who is almost 65 in the same position we are.
Haha! 43. Love in South America I date 18-25 year old hotties in paradise Cleveland and Boston etc is about the f at bitter angry hostile used tattooed blue haired delusional dragon hhorrzz
This is so relatable this day and age... a lot of women are just.. fickle.. Marty summed it up best by saying "what ever it is that women like, i ain't got". Well, for me it's good looks and money... women are shallow now days... If you ain't got specific looks and/or an insane amount of money, you're not wanted..
Maybe it’s just me but it seems to me that you forgot a very important scene. When Marty and Clara are at the diner and Marty talks about suicide. Such a very crucial and deep scene that dives deeper into how Marty felt about his life before meeting Clara
they didn't do the ending of this film for you the audience to understand the accomplishment of Marty, because he broke out from what was holding him back, and who was holding him from a loving marriage and took the chance. The writer and director did this to ask you as an audience member to have a catharsis on your own life and overcome the challenges that are holding you back from what you want to obtain. you can do an annualization of one of my favorite films, Little Big Man, dustin hoffman. because of the 1st way the director Arthur Penn and American film treated and portrayed the American Indian, as a family society, humanity. Its an amazing historical allegory, and Hoffman, gives one of his best performances trying to find himself as an American Indian (after being kidnapped and raised by them) A store owner, gun slinger, drunk, tracker, snake oil salesman, ect. trying to find himself. POWERFUL FILM, historical with great comic relief. See it, Ive seen it 57 times and have Hoffmans autograph on his drunk scene 8x10 I have a masters in RTV and was in radio for 20 years, met with and hanging with the stars and love film. - tell me what ya think of Little Big MAn - thanks.
My story. I'm short, flatfooted not unattractive ,not handsome. I was accepting the fact that I was going to die alone. I was resigned. I lived at home with my mom and dad. Dad dies. At 39, I met a woman 12 years younger than me. We realized that we weren't going to find anyone else. We didn't fall in love. But we grew to love each other. We married and have two princesses. We found each other when we weren't looking for love . Weird ,

Things are far worse now and the number of " Marty's " in society is about half of all young men.

Marty isn't good enough for the girl he ends up with in today's world. It's over.

@@GaryM67-71 I like to think that but at 50+, if it hasn't happened by now, it's not happening at all.
Marty is the definition of "You may find the right person for you, right before you decide to give up"
or you might never find anyone, and need to accept you have to live life for you.

You did a very good analysis of this beautiful film and the music you chose was perfect. I came away with the same feeling about Marty's mother (and Angie) that you did. The rejection of Clara was a matter of their own preservation of their relationships with Marty. I thought it was profound when you watched the realization by both of them of what they stood to lose. Had his mother's sister not scared the living daylights out of her, Marty's mother may have reacted differently because she knew Marty's love for her. After losing it about going to the Starlight Ballroom, Marty sat down at the plate of food she had loving cooked for him and patted her on the arm. She, in turn, apologized to him when she fussed at him the day after. They had a secure bond. Angie went into a panic when he couldn't find Marty and then later treated he and Clara badly on the street. Jealousy set in and i think the thought of losing Marty's time overcame him. Sad, repetitive, Gound Hog Day lives but he had Marty. Self preservation. You nailed it!!
Absolutely loved this video, i hope to see more from you in the future
The film was ahead of its time.
In the 1950s and 60s, USA and UK filmmakers excelled at what was called "kitchen sink dramas" ( I don't think we called it that here in the States, more of a British term). Instead of big epic movies, these examined the lives of "ordinary people". I've long thought they were more adult, not only in the themes but also in the way they were crafted. Many were unpretentious (tho' I think the Brits were more experimental with camera techniques and such). I love *A Patch of Blue* (1965) with Sidney Poitier, Elizabeth Hartman, and Shelley Winters. Even with big-name stars (Poitier, Winters) it had a grittiness, authenticity and truth that bigger-budgeted, slick "all star" productions lacked.
Excellent work. Great channel idea. Keep it up man
Very good analysis. Another old film that I liked very much was The Women.
This is a beautiful analysis. Good work.
Hope you make more! Marty is one of my favorite movies
Loved the movie. Such a simple story rooted in ordinary life. Reminds me of Ozu films.
Stray Dog by Akira Kurosawa (or any of his movies) would be cool to do videos on
Good review. I need to see the film now.
This is really more describing the events in the film than actually analyzing it
I suggest "A Patch of Blue" for a review!! With Sidney Poitier. Great film.
i couldn't believe in the episode of rocko's modern life: Rocko's Happy Sack Marty's character has a small scene he says "I'm a fat ugly butcher from Brooklyn I'll never get married"😳
Winderful film. Master class in screen acting
Well done, sir! I'd like to see somebody review No Way to Treat a Lady with Rod Steiger, Lee Remick and George Segal
Thanks for talking so well and with such good insight about this great film - and for calling attention to it. I hope it inspires people who haven't seen it to seek it out and view it. (I don't think of it as 'underrated,' though, since in 1955, it won the Oscar for Best Movie, in addition to Borgnine winning for Best Actor. A classic film. But perhaps you meant it would be underrated by some current audiences? In any case, I think you've presented a wonderful analysis.) By the way, have you seen the 1994 movie, Quiz Show, which makes reference to Marty?
under rated as in not known by many people in recent decades. Lost in the mists of history.
Marty had a beautiful soil…good friend , good companion to the young lady even if he barely knew her.
I don't know how underrated an Oscar winning film (Ernest Borgnine-best actor) can be, but, if you say so.
Ernest Borgnine won an Oscar for this movie .
The numbers of views on this video says a lot about the world we are living.
I think I will be one of your biggest fans ✨😊✨
Great. Have you ever done Night of the Hunter?
We are all Marty
Excellent! Love your analysis. How about Lost in Yonkers, there's a scence that no
matter how many times I've seen it, over 5 times, thanks to Mercedes Ruehl acting
I cried everytime.
I don't know if it qualifies as "underrated," but I'd love to see your take on The Sand Pebbles from 1966.
Marty (The Philco Television Playhouse) 1953 television production with Rod Steiger is also very good. It was a live television shoot.
I like the transitions you used :)
I just recently downloaded Marty but haven't watched it yet. I like "I Remember Mama" 1948
That was awesome work!
My only complaint is typical Hollywood (even back then) refused to not cast women as they are written. Every man (except Marty) calls her a dog, basically ugly, but the actress playing her wasn't ugly. Sure she was not a beauty on the level of women like Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly but this woman was no where near a dog in looks.
A CLASSIC!
Great video. You should check out “The Apartment”, a sweet romantic comedy.
The film Quiz Show actually pivots on the film Marty. Herb Stempel has to answer On the Waterfront to the question, Best Picture of 1955?
It just goes to show you all through the generations we are all basically the same!
This film could easily be remade with today's problems, as the video creator stated.
I wonder about the casting of the original film, how exactly did the main actors' agents pitch the idea? The character Marty admits that he is ugly and fat, the character Teresa gets called a dog repeatedly. That would be an ego deflation to all but a few very talented actors.
Great movie.
That is a GREAT movie!
Cheers. An excellent review. If you want an under explored film gem, try the Yugoslav masterpiece "Dervis i Smrt" (1972).
I wish I could recommend more old movies, but I'm quite ignorant to such films.
Poor Marty. He’s literally me. I’m burnt out too man. I got enough of my heart broken too 😭 Rejected too just like Marty was except the girl didn’t comfort me and chose to block me on instagram. Some life huh?
Yo no way it’s you from the shaz video, I just watched this movie
Your literally me man
How’d you meet that girl bro?
@@Jurassic_Edits83 In school on the first day. Man we literally fell in love at first sight. We were so connected and had the same personality. When I met it it was like I finally met someone I could relate to and the world wasn’t all darkness anymore. Anyway we knew each other for a month and a half then I asked her out on a date and she was super stoked to go. So we had a blast the whole time watching a movie in the theater, getting ice cream, going to a park, and then something told me in my gut to tell her I like her more than a friend and so I did and then it finally got awkward near the end. I know it was a stupid decision but you gotta understand not only was her and me really close already and flirting a lot but I’ve never even been on a date before and watch a lot of movies. So how can you Blame me for not knowing you shouldn’t do that on the first date?
@@StudMacher78 no I can’t blame you, but damn you were so close, at least you tried , don’t beat yourself down for it, I’m sure you will find the one.
A young Ernest Borgnine portrayed as an undesirable bachelor is rather comical considering that he would end up married to Tova of Tova Cosmetics, one of the most beautiful women in the world. She found him down on his luck, picked him up and told him "you are better than this", helped him get reintroduced into the acting world, married him and the rest is history.
What do you wanna do Marty? I dunno what do you wannna do? 😂😂😂😂 one of my all time favorites. Some people pass on blessings because of the unrealistic expectations of others.
34? I'm 40. And I'm no closer to being a father and a husband than I was at 20.. I'm a bigger lonely loser than Marty
in the 1950s 34 years old was seen as older then it is now but I do understand what you are saying I am almost 37 and I myself have no kids and am not married. I even have an uncle who is almost 65 in the same position we are.
@@curtismaul2552 Same here, 36 no wife, living the bachelor life.
39. No wife or kids
Some are just not meant to be married.
Haha! 43. Love in South America
I date 18-25 year old hotties in paradise
Cleveland and Boston etc is about the f at bitter angry hostile used tattooed blue haired delusional dragon hhorrzz
I recommend the fire within from 19643.
This is so relatable this day and age... a lot of women are just.. fickle..
Marty summed it up best by saying "what ever it is that women like, i ain't got".
Well, for me it's good looks and money... women are shallow now days...
If you ain't got specific looks and/or an insane amount of money, you're not wanted..
And yet, in this movie, (at the end), he STILL finds a woman that he can have a romantic relationship with.
Maybe it’s just me but it seems to me that you forgot a very important scene. When Marty and Clara are at the diner and Marty talks about suicide. Such a very crucial and deep scene that dives deeper into how Marty felt about his life before meeting Clara
Make more please!
they didn't do the ending of this film for you the audience to understand the accomplishment of Marty, because he broke out from what was holding him back, and who was holding him from a loving marriage and took the chance. The writer and director did this to ask you as an audience member to have a catharsis on your own life and overcome the challenges that are holding you back from what you want to obtain.
you can do an annualization of one of my favorite films, Little Big Man, dustin hoffman. because of the 1st way the director Arthur Penn and American film treated and portrayed the American Indian, as a family society, humanity. Its an amazing historical allegory, and Hoffman, gives one of his best performances trying to find himself as an American Indian (after being kidnapped and raised by them) A store owner, gun slinger, drunk, tracker, snake oil salesman, ect. trying to find himself. POWERFUL FILM, historical with great comic relief. See it, Ive seen it 57 times and have Hoffmans autograph on his drunk scene 8x10
I have a masters in RTV and was in radio for 20 years, met with and hanging with the stars and love film. - tell me what ya think of Little Big MAn - thanks.
Great review.
"Loneliness isn't the same as being alone"
Great video 👍🏻
The film is still relevant in 2024. It is a statement of single males in 1955 and 2024. Many men have just given up on dating.
A mother's wound is described in a particular fashion
My story. I'm short, flatfooted not unattractive ,not handsome. I was accepting the fact that I was going to die alone. I was resigned. I lived at home with my mom and dad. Dad dies. At 39, I met a woman 12 years younger than me. We realized that we weren't going to find anyone else. We didn't fall in love. But we grew to love each other. We married and have two princesses. We found each other when we weren't looking for love . Weird ,
Good work 👍🏽
I absolutely loved this movie 🍿🎥😢😊💃🕺💞💕
❤
What’s the name of the BGM
" Whatever it is that girls like, I ain't got"....... as an ugly bald guy I can relate.
