The best lines in the movie. "Would you love me the rest of my life?" "No. I'm gonna love you for the rest of mine."
Now I'm going to ask you the same question:
Would you love me for the rest of my life?

@@Cerdo_asquerosono i am gonna love you for the rest of my life
That is an original line right there
That’s pretty gay
Ah I remember giving George powers back in 1996 seems like yesterday
lol
your power gives brain tumor yikes
I saw that
Ye but you also gave him a brain tumor shortening his life to days.
Not a big fan dear lightnin bolt
Saw it in the theatre.. fantastic. Loved the Clapton tune as well, still do.
3:04
Boy spends his time right, reading the Kama Sutra. What a chad.
One of my favorite films and one of John Travolta's best .
Such a bitter sweet story .
Such a great movie. The very best of Travolta’s huge library of films. He should have, at the very least, gotten an Oscar nomination for his work on this movie.
This movie made me cry. So much like flowers for Algernon.
True, very similar. They were both poignant and tragic.
This is such a GREAT movie!! One of John Travolta's BEST movies and he has so many!!
I've watched it over and over again!! It is such a feel good movie with great actors.
It definitely warmed my heart ❤️
Phenomenon 1996
John Travolta
I believe everyone has not known or found yet abilities above the average human .
Well there are super smart kids that gets PHD Ivy league unis at 12 and such
@@elonmusk6654extremely pampered kids, they are, usually.
The scene where he looks at the trees swaying in the breeze is one of the most meaningful things I have ever seen.
How did it effect you and how do you relate to that scene?
M.Night is that you ??
I always found that scene confusing. Is it supposed to mean or symbolise something?
@@mkolo5834 I'm unsure how to explain it. Have you ever spent days out in beautiful nature? It can fill your spirit up with a sensation of existence being worthwhile and yet no one needs to explain how or why.
Yes! It’s very zen for sure. It’s like he taps out of the chaos of human emotion and taps into the calming energy of the planet. It’s one of the many beautiful moments in this film.
George should have used his power to learn how to reduce the tumor…like how in that movie Limitless where the guy takes the pill to solve the withdrawal problem and manufacture more pills….
don't think he wanted to live longer in torment. But a great movie.
wait, he was able to solve the withdrawal sideeffect? I though he was only able to manifacture more pills. Damn I need to rewatch
The way I recall, he was able to completely stop taking the pills yet was able to permanently retain his intellect.
if you haven't seen it, the limitless show is a fun romp based on the same idea, same universe. I liked it~
He realized the ends of his mortal will and chose not to strive for immortality but to embrace his humanity instead. Which is beautiful for his character.
I wish I had these powers
You do, mostly.
We can arrange that
@@lightninbolt7539 dude's a comedian
I feel you man. I really do.
You wish until you don’t
And yet, despite having an off-the-charts I.Q., he never once thought about playing the stock market.
We'll all be like George soon enough. Ready for the change people. Love and Light to all. ❤❤
Dead? Or bogged down with a cancerous tumor in our heads?
No we won't. An entertaining movie sure, but your belief is New Age nonsense.
Repent and make sure your soul is right with God.
One of the movie greats in history
I remember watching this when I was a kid... dam.. 💔
Really love this movie. Have to watch it again!
Did they ever explained how the telekinesis worked if it was a brain tumor that made him smart?
Back in those days it's quite a common thing to believe if we unlocked 100% of our brain potential we'll gain certain abilities such as telekinesis. I think that's what being used here
I love this movie.❤ John Travolta was also great in the movie "Michael" where he plays an angel.
George with the Kama Sutra book @3:04 LOL
I love such decent movies like this.
Good Film!
Plus a young Christof Waltz!
this movie was definitely a 9/10. powder was 11/10 though.
I come back to watch this once and awhile
That’s a one emotional film thanx a lot I’ll have to watch the full thing now 🙏🥰
This was such a beautiful movie. Watched it dozens of times. Time to watch it again!
Love this movie!
I love this!
❤Thank so much for tell me about the Movies
Ooh very nice I'm definitely watching it
There was a story similar to this in the tv show Amazing Stories [One for the books]
Also, a two part episode of the Outer Limits (1960's), and remade in the 90's version of the Outer Limits. [The Inheritors]
and... Twilight Zone [Mr. Dingle, the Strong]
You are so right I Amazing story's we're good shows
All variations of the story Flowers for Algernon.
i remember these
remember when John Travolta was a thing?
I never seen or heard about this movie...
Love this movie. So sad.
so that light was just a indication of his tumor
Such an underrated movie.
John Travolta can play bawdy rowdy savage also a genius, he has look of strong body and wise face
A very underrated film!
2:38 damn that actress was actually hot fire, still relatively is but before no1 could deny!
I saw this movie years ago it is very sad. It has a heartbreaking ending. By the way. It does not look like he was hit by lightning. It looks like he was hit by something else.
He wasn't struck by lightning, as Doc finds out, he has a brain tumor.
P.S. What the narrator describes as Morse code was actually RTTY, or some other mode of digital Comms.
I was in rehab with the little redheaded girl in the movie she's a very sweet person
Really where?
Ashley Buccille...I know her well. She's 36 now and doing okay.
@@thutoplepcha484 not only is google a thing so you don't have to ask that why are you asking someone about their rehab stay unnecessarily?
@@daytonmccarville Just curious Imma fellowship
@@daytonmccarville it's not unnecessary when the person volunteered info about it as the initial comment. It's pretty normal in human conversation to ask questions relevant to another person's statement. Like "I grew up next to Patrick Ewing!" could easily result in a response of "Oh no way that's cool beans, where did you grow up?"
An example of an unnecessary question would be overly private information like "what was she in rehab for?" Or "what were some child hood traumatic events she discussed during group therapy?"
I hope this helped you get a better feel for how discussions work and some differences between appropriate and less appropriate questions when continuing conversations. When you are unsure, you can always ask yourself if antagonizing and criticizing strangers for their questions will achieve anything positive or if you're better off just moving along until you encounter a situation you're less uncertain about. If find that this type of situation doesn't actually come up and you always want to just antagonize people for no reason, you can always seek out more professional help such as life coaches or self improvement books, or even a therapist. 😃👍
One of my favorite movies
He saw a flash.
Such a good movie 🍿 with amazing casts but truly heartbreaking ending 😔😔😔😔
Film truly shows Travolta's range... he is literally the opposite of Tony Manero in "Saturday Night Fever" in every way.
BEAUTIFUL MOVIE
Fabulous movie .
I have no idea what John Travolta is really like, but I like to imagine he is like this character in real life.
Hopefully, he plays a villain role pretty well too.
gotta watch this movie
Plot twist George is Elom Nusk 🤫🤭
Good one
Struck by lightning? If you're going to give a movie summary, then you better by sure to watch the movie first.
Maybe he didn't want to spoil the reveal, that the light is a hallucination formed by his sick brain
John travolta is a real one for always working with black ppl.
This movie was great!
3:04 yeah absorbing very imporatant books too
I don't recall lightning at all...great movie though. One of my favs
There wasn't any lightning. It was just a light that appeared in the sky either from a hallucination from the tumor or something unknown.
Had the pleasure of working with JT on a film and had a few scenes with him. He is such a nice humble person. We were able to catch up few years ago at a premier.
Eh
Edit:really
That's so cool! I've only ever been able to work with LeVar Burton so far but it was an amazing experience.
Was he a good kisser??
@@jerrylewis788 Do better....
@@jerrylewis788 lol
Someone knows the name of this piano song? So peaceful so good to hear at night while in bed
Eric Claptons song Change the World comes to mind. That was the last song of the film.
Check out Claptons live version from his 2001 Concert.. available on TH-cam. One of his greatest performances you'll ever see.. especially that tune..
its feels weird to be this early to one of your videos
This movie was basically another version of the film powder
90's version of "Flowers for Algernon"
Nice movie 👍😃
No amount of knowledge will beat wisdom. All that IQ and simping.
Expedition of human soul.....
Nice movie
First time in my life , i slept whilst watching a movie in cinema..
The intro is fire...!!!!, it just triggers me and puts me in the mood 👌👍👏
I never saw this but the idea is similar to that of the movie powder. Powders mother was killed by being hit by lightning but he survived in the womb and was born with an IQ of 260 or close and has powers. The movie seems to be much different otherwise though.
I agree. I have seen both movies. Very sad movies.
Powder has a more ambiguous ending whereas he could have either died or transcended. One could almost even see Phenomenon as a sequel to Powder, as if his spirit transferred along with his abilities.
6:21 not exactly a college known for intellectuals nowadays oh how the mighty have fallen
So, I guess a ufo firing some mysterious beam right to someone's forehead is "being struck by lightninng" I guess. I guess. Somehow.
Guess you missed the whole it’s a tumor part
So...Much...Denim!
reading tons of books❌ absorbing tons of books✔
I don't know why this so underrated. I would have made him solve quantum theory vs string theory.. Such a waste of intelligence.. So many questions in the world that are unanswered.. Ask him those.
PS: Beautiful movie
Nice
What song is playing In the beginning
Someone needs to tell me. is there an alternative version of this movie with different actors? I remember watching this movie with a different main actor
What’s the name of the tune in the background?
Movies used to make you feel something..
Wasn't struck by lightning or actually anything at all.
Great movie! I still think someone else would’ve been way better as George, but it was still a pretty good movie despite that!
No John Travolta was Perfect.
@@Kinseliplier glad you enjoyed it. But I find him irritating. Always have. My older sister loved Greece. I was forced to watch it with her on a weekly basis until I was old enough to overpower her. So technically I was subjected to torture by way of Travolta and Newton-John’s singing and dancing for almost 14 years!
@@rebelwithoutaclue9387 fuck you olivia and johns voices sound fucking beautiful.
@@rebelwithoutaclue9387 Sorry for all the "Grease". While I was not a big fan of that particular movie, Penomenon and Michael are my favorites with Travolta.
Unidentifiable irking is something I know well, although it is with Jim Carrey. Can't love them all, despite trying.
Just out of curiosity, who do you see as a good George in Phenomenon?
He was good in pulp fiction as Vincent.
bro why is it only available in 360p like bruh
So George realized that all he was to many people was a lab rat.
2X speed, ahhhhhh.
Not lighting but some kind of light
This was shaping up to be a phenomenal movie, though I felt that the brain tumor aspect was a bit of a copout, like when a movie quickly ties off Act Three with the proverbial, "It was all a dream." I believe it would have served the movie far better if George was so frustrated with having ideas a mile a minute to the point where he was unable to live among the simple-minded people. He discovers a place safe from government agencies, where there are savants and others with superior intelligence which allows his amazing mind to be unleashed with breakthroughs and discoveries in all areas of science. He takes Lace and the kids with him to bring his head down to earth and for balance. He teaches them anything they want to learn. He can secretly communicate with his friends, Nate and Doc through a newly developed device created by George to keep in touch.
This would have allowed a movie to continue with a fulfilling trilogy, and opened up a world of possibilities.
If something happened to me and i knew everything i would design a water engine and then release the plans on the net along with FTL drive (Faster Than Light) etc to help man kind go forward. Perhaps a way to invent something to eat pollution and make it safer for all. Perhaps cures for all types of diseases.
Shhh...don't mention the water engine. They're watching bro and will kill you to keep it a secret. Just ask the other people who made that type of engine, oh wait. ☠️
I'll probably try and figure out a way to make everyone else smarter too. And do the rest.
Nice thought, but he did not have time enough to develop all his ideas, only to write them down. Also, despite his genius, he was limited as to resources and startup capital. It costs a great deal of money to initially develop such innovations. Just look at how much capital is required by research and development departments in major corporations. Perhaps if he had lived longer, he could have accomplished much more.
Can someone tell me the piano music in this video?
Didn't they made a TV series like how they made a TV series out of The Dead Zone?
I wish I was smart lol
He wasn't "struck by lightning" Those flashes and what looked like a falling star were inside his head, the blinding lights often attributed to people getting seizures like epilepsy cause but with certain brain tumors instead. That's why no-one else saw the "lightning"
While the seizure and bright lights are known to be true, and in some cases the language learning skills is documented. But the premise of suddenly having an amazing memory, or being able to use skills and have knowledge that has never previously been learnt is false.
Since George has telekinetic powers, he can just remove the tumour himself.
But he wasn't struck by... Oh forget it. Tomato tomato
Yeah telekinesis and being a genius miss thay
can you say " I just saved myself a 150 Bucks!"
can someone please tell me the name of movies in intro ?
Phenomenon (film)
So Lucy was inspired from here!
So telekinesis can healed quickly healing factor? Should called it telekinetic healing
O wow scarface sister!!! She aged well after all these years Albertos mother ! 👩
Wrong. REEEALY wrong. 😂 (‘Scarface sister’ was Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, who was also in The Abyss, and 100 other things that AREN’T Phenomena).
@@madeleinerose7090 oops mybad lmao... I swear I thought it was her !!! Thanks for the fact check ❤️
I liked the movie, but he wasn't struck by lightning.
whom ever posted this should have watched the movie !
