I remember the joke at the time was asking whether women would sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars, with the answer being: why do you need the million dollars?
Unless you’re already a billionaire, why wouldn’t you need the million dollars? It would make more sense to say, Would you like to sleep with Robert Redford? Yes. Would you like a million dollars? Yes. How about both?
I personally never saw the appeal of Robert Redford, not as a child when I 1st saw this film and not now as a woman in my 30s. But I suppose I can kinda see why others would find him attractive. And I know we're talking about Redford in general but even his character in the movie always irked me.
To be fair to the movie, sort of, my folks were married at 19 and 21, and they’ve been married for 50 years. And they still like each other. But, my folks aren’t stupid or terrible like these characters are.
Same deal with my grandparents--they married at 22 and 23 and stayed together for 45 years, right up until my grandpa died. And I agree that the problem with these characters isn't their age at marraige (they're both legal adults, which is something Sean seems to stubbornly refuse to understand--get over yourself, please, if you're reading this), but their respective maturity levels, which starts at a low level and doesn't change at ALL throughout the film. :P
Lots of young people get married and do fine, lots of young people marry and don't do fine. Lots of older people marry and do fine, lots of older people marry and don't do fine. Hell, lots of people with huge age gaps marry and do fine, and lots marry and don't do fine. People seem to think we live in a black and white world which could not be futher from the truth both figuratively and literally.
My parents have been together since they were in their late teens. They both admit that they would have liked to have experienced more of single life, but that it was worth giving it up for the life they lived. I really don’t get along with my dad historically but he clearly makes my mom happy so he gets a pass :) and I’m glad I was born in love.
The Simpsons equivalent to Indecent Proposal would have been like this: Marge is married to Mr van Houten. Rainier Wulfcastle offers her a million dollars. Marge accepts and dumps van Houten. And no one cares. The end.
@@TommyDeonauthsArchives Are you saying there’s a Simpsons episode where “I bet you’d trade it all for one night with my wife” “Yes, I would” actually gets followed through on? I never knew that.
I could see the conflict of the movie working if given more characterization. For instance, if one of them was devoutly religious, feeling that marriage was a sacred bond between two people. Then, they have to choose between either betraying their beliefs or becoming bankrupt. Or if one of them had their father leave their mother for a younger woman and this situation reminds them of that trauma too much. Or if they were deeply in love and wanted to remain monogamous but hard times tested that love. But as it stands, and this is simply based on this review, there doesn't seem to be enough characterization to make this seem like much of a conflict for these characters.
Actually in the book this movie was based on there was more characterization. Harrelson’s character in the book was Jewish and Redford’s character was an Arab. So there was a cultural conflict in the book that was completely left out of the movie.
From what I remember about the buzz around it, I always thought the conflict was that the billionare was much better in bed. That they were prepared for her to have a bad night, but not for her having a really good one. That was the point of them having married young, her not knowing anything better.
@@maiorciprian That's actually interesting, just to rub it in his face in "that's how you do it kiddo" kind of way. And that would make his hissy fit more credible and relatable. Because THAT SCENE was horrible! It didn't feel as if their relationship was put to the test, it felt like they had a toxic relationship from the very beginning and that wasn't charming in the slightest. Also good God am I happy that my brain doesn't crave sex or me hooking up with the same person for the rest of my life because damn! I would lie if told you that I wouldn't cry in that situation but I would also be outta of here! 😒
At 8:44 I always interpreted that scene as David wanting to wipe off the makeup that she wore for Gage the night before. Remember when she's on Gage's boat she applies the red lipstick, wears the fancy dress he left for her and "dolls " herself up. Throughout the rest of the film especially when she's with David she really does not wear heavy makeup. So I always took that scene as David metaphorically trying to wipe any traces that remind him of Diana's night with Gage away. Also I never knew this movie won or was even nominated for razzies, lol. I used to like it a lot when it was released, but to be fair, I was also 10 years old so it wasn't hard to impress me. I loved Demi Moore as well as a kid and after seeing this movie I cut my waist long hair into a bob cut just like Demi in the film, i thought it made me look like her, but looking back at childhood pics , it was extremely unflattering on me. Oh well, lol. And I'm not ashamed to admit that I loved and still enjoy Sliver and Indecent proposal nowadays, lol. Dare I say I even prefer the plot of Sliver over that of Basic Instinct, lol. Anyway I know this is an older review but I just discovered your channel and am binging your videos, :)
9:58-10:11 - He is one of the hightest-ranking people in S.H.I.E.L.D., second only to Nick Fury. He has access to super-advanced technology that is way ahead of its time.
Woody Harrelson in "Benny and Joon"? Hmmm. He could play the Aiden Quinn part. Say, whatever happened to him? That movie really needed something, it was missing a piece to be really good.
8:19 that soundtrack could have worked in a completely different genre of film, a Horror movie for example, it makes you uncomfortable and on edge at the same time.
Good luck reviewing it on TH-cam under the new COPPA laws. Considering half of the movie consists of nudity (it IS an NC-17-rated movie about Las Vegas showgirls), it’s going to be a heavily censored review.
Matthew Daley Haha, true! 😂 The same can be said for “Color of Night” (another Bruce Willis film), “Showgirls”, and “Striptease” (another Demi Moore movie).
@@beethovensfidelio He would have to make his own Pornhub account just for those reviews alone. Wouldn't be the first time someone on TH-cam does that. Saberspark made one for (so far) his only animated porno review called "Once Upon a Girl".
@@matthewdaley746 No, but if you're reviewing a porn movie, I guess it's allowed. Even Cinema Snob has a couple uncut versions of reviews on that site too.
I love your cinematic excrement reviews. You are a great comedian! You had me rolling on the floor with your delivery of one liners with perfect deadpan precision(except the perfect amount of raising of eyebrows)!
The conflict in the book was very much based on nationalities of the characters: husband was Israeli war veteran (in Six-Days War, if I remember correctly), rich guy was Saudi sheikh, and wife was "American blond princess" they both treated like walking talking fetish.
I don't know... Maybe I'm stretching it but there's quite the age gap between Redford and Moore, and I might not have been a long term fan of Shaun but after a year I know his stance on the matter. 😏
If you were alive and conscious of the media surroundings this film, you would know that it got a lot of hype in the daytime talk shows. The “would you take that indecent proposal” was asked in a lot of water cooler chats. So basically they all watched the movie to be able to talk about it in the office.
Indecent Proposal received a lot of hype when it came out, but it just wasn’t a good movie. The worst part of the film I remember was there was no chemistry at all between Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson. The same was true about Demi Moore and Robert Redford. All three are great actors and each have been in some really good films but the casting choices and the premise of the film just didn’t work.
Two out of three ain't bad, Demi Moore, like Melanie Griffith, was far better at strategically-timed marriages, than she could ever hope to be at acting.
From what I remember, Demi Moore was a High Paid Actress at the time. She was also married to Bruce Willis at the time. IP was successful commercially because of hype surroundings Demi Moore. I spoke to older kids who went to go see it in '93. They described it as: What a Letdown. It was Stupid and Sleazy.
@@chrisazylum6624 what has always strike me as strange is people hate the way Curly stalkes Rhonda. But they seem to be perfectly okay with the way Helga stalkes Arnold. And she's a lot more creepy.
@@chrisazylum6624 That might be the case. But some of the things she does to Arnold is straight meanness. I think it's more of it's a double standard if a woman does certain things it's okay. But if a man does it then it's all bad.
I think that the whole illicit affair was what adults loved about this movie back in the day, and the fact that the sex scenes were mostly uncensored, as for teenagers, Demi Moore being partially nude. I need to say more?
😆 In fairness I don't remember the movie specifying what percentage the 50K represented of the project, but the last time you could buy that much beachfront property in Santa Monica for 5X that much, Woody and Demi were in...wait, were they even born yet?
If my calculations are correct, Sean is gonna review Showgirls by early next year...can't wait to see how he tackles that movie. It'll be more entertaining that the movie that happened
This is like 50 shades of grey but christian's played straight up as the psycho he really is, but it's still a bad movie. How do you even do that. edit: never mind they're playing it the other way.
@@michaelstrong5383 Redford's character in this took a step back... Grey in shades of grey is a manipulator who made himself the focus of his victim life and it is shown as *_romance_* ...
If a cartoon from 1996 parodies this with coat stain blackmail and the premise is so stupid that you think they made it up on their own, your movie is hilariously bad.
Robert Redford at the age he was in “indecent proposal “ I would’ve done it for free but a million doesn’t hurt.. Woody Harrelson in it is so immature. I would’ve left him for Robert Redford! ewe Robert Redford..whatever :p
The movie has its share of faults, but its goal is to get you thinking about the concepts of infidelity, prostitution, self worth, insecurity, greed and love. Would it bother me if my partner cheated on me "for a good cause," do people have their price and what is it, does sex for money leave an emotional impact on the participants, can one night stand ruin a relationship even when at first the couple thinks it's not a big deal, should a person sell "their honor" to help their partner and should the partner even let them do it, etc. If you don't care about any of that, this movie is a boring moralistic claptrap, but if you do, then it's a very interesting psychosexual melodrama that's completely in the realm of possible. Also, Redford wants Demi BECAUSE she's in a relationship. He's inserting dominance by proving that even a married woman can be bought like a prostitute. It's an underrated movie, frankly.
“What about this film was so enticing?” He says over images of Demi Moore in her absolute prime (although weirdly, maybe just because she stands out more among all the ugliness, I’ve always thought her absolute most beautiful appearance on film was in the weird, weird Dan Akroyd vehicle “Nothing But Trouble”)
Is it weird to say that the only reason I know this movie was because of that one episode from Friends when Monica yelled at Phoebe for messing up her haircut and was listing some of the movies Demi Moore has been in such as this one and Ghost when trying to explain the type of hairstyle she wanted? She wanted Demi Moore's hairstyle but Phoebe thought that she said Dudley Moore.
I saw that movie and I loved it, hated Redford’s character. The man was evil and deserved no sympathy or pity not even with that sappy story he tells Moore’s character. I also read the book and I can tell you this: the billionaire is even more evil. I’ll wait to see a comment if they want spoilers

orlandobabe Easily his most unlikeable role. There were many times I just wanted to reach thru the movie screen and beat the crap out of him! (Also, can't say I loved the movie........................I DESPISED it).
Mason Allen that or his character is just used to getting whatever he wants because of his wealth and such. So he’s constantly testing how much he can get away with by going for the “unattainable” . Probably both tbh 🤔
Well, there's a reason why "erotic thriller/drama" only were "big" in 80s/90s. People didn't have easy access to porn. Hence why nearly all those movies are "ok" at best and terrible normally.
Yes this film is ludicrous. But if I may give you a little insight from a healthy, heterosexual woman, Robert Redford was GORGEOUS in this film. Creepy maybe. Old? Old-ish. But BEAUTIFUL!!
Lots of people marry young and do fine. Just because you wouldn't like the idea doesn't mean it is "wrong" or against "common sense" (common to whom anyway?). Obviously it wont work for many but that is the case with everything in life.
Yeah some do. I've known high school sweethearts who got married by age 21 and stayed together for life, some like me who got married young and it didn't work out, and some who were mature at the time of marriage and it still didn't work out for long. There's no real rhyme or reason for why some couples make it work and some don't. No consistent rules.
The early 90s was a very different cultural and moral atmosphere than today. Just think about the fact that we went 12 years under Reagan and Bush, and the internet was just barely beginning to exist in the form we now know. Just as we look at content banned in hyper-conservative countries today with confusion as to how this could be scandalous, there were enough people who were that moralistic and that sheltered for this to be considered naughty and taboo and thrilling. Also, while the editing and score may be crap, the clips you show demonstrate that it is at least very well shot in that early 90s way.
Steve George speaking of banned content, every side is guilty of that. And that also includes the overall opposition as well. Anarchists & conspiracy theorists are guilty of censoring content from their presence that logically disproves their “awakened” ideologies. And yes, I was one of them.
@Captain Brandon Horror Film Lover Narration turned out to be more his specialty, and, on, An American Experience, he's wonderful, he makes it really memorable.
@@matthewdaley746 John Hammond may not have personally payed, but his company International Genetics Incorporated, or InGen, did. You can see that in this deleted scene from the sequel to Jurassic Park, The Lost World. th-cam.com/video/bY4y0dOjjNQ/w-d-xo.html
Well to be fair, this was the mid-90s, which was the age BEFORE the internet became a regular commodity, and if somebody saw a bad movie opening night, they could tweet about it on social media and tell people not to go see it. But still, No 1. for a w whole week?! And yes, kids! I can remember a time before having the internet at my disposal 24-7! I’ll leave it up to hour imaginations as to how we ever survived!
Something "special" eh? Maybe something to do with Bea Arthur and some Wookies? Oh wait, you already did the Star Wars Holiday Special. You've got me stumped then.
I remember watching this movie back in the day and mainly wondering why they cast Woody Harrelson with Demi Moore. To me, they just didn't seem to have any kind of real chemistry so I never felt any kind of loss for either of them when it ended. I do agree that Oliver Platt is massively underrated. Despite the cheesiness of the movie, I loved him in Lake Placid. :)
Demi Moore's marriage got her plenty of undeserved parts, said parts dried up upon her divorce, his new niche is narration, The American Experience is a revelation.
Er... Objection! I love your videos and everything about them, but off-handedly nixing the possibility that accepting this proposal could spell trouble for s couple, both morally and emotionally? Dude, not cool. In accepting, Demi essentially prositutes herself with her husband being the pimp in this scenario. They are both unwilling, they are only agreeing because they are desperate. Demi gets shoved into an age-old victim role with a sadistical choice: Either whore yourself out or see your beloved husband lose his dream. That‘s some pretty nasty stuff. Enlightened as you may be, there‘s a reason why prostitution carries social stigma, and essentially forcing your wife to do this should weigh heavily on every man with an ounce of decency. I remember watching this movie, and while it is pretty much over-the-top melodrama, it is correct in telling us the emotional fallout of such a thing would indeed be considerable. So yeah. Bit too light-hearted there with your dismissal, methinks. Sorry bout the interruption, keep up your great work!
ph fuck this.. not noting that this situation may be emotionally difficult, evil and traumatic for a subset of people, but your bullshit about how its okay to socially stigmatize sexworkers.. because that is what happens. whores don't fear John's, they fear the fucking police, they fear rape, assault, they KNOW that when they disappear in a country or place who share your fucked up moralist views, people hate sexworkers and will not give a flying fuck about their health and safety. they give so little fuck they don't talk to them. they give so little fuck that, in murders involving a murdered sexworker in , the police literally wrote "No human victims" fight trafficking with sexworkers and johns, because when sexwork is not criminalized, those are the majority of tip givers re:trafficking victims.. i would fuck that guy for a thousand. I still love my partner, I don't ascribe emotional weight to sex. Its totally okay when other people do it, sure, but don't use that or the fact this clearly was unethical because both didn't want it to support whorephobic stigma which kills regularly because people look down on sexworkers. no, I'm not one, btw, nor am I a customer, Im a female with friends who work in sexwork by choice and acquaintances who do survival sexwork and don't love it, but prefer it to working as cleaner or cashier
oh.. "No human involved" was not a joke but an actual terms used by police when a crime had sexworker, gang members, drug adfics as victims.. because dehumanizing people is just normal so guards can murder someone by action and in action and get away with it because they "just whores" en.wiktionary.org/wiki/no_human_involved your police is fucked up, btw please watch if you can & try to rewire your empathy wiring for someone who does something you feel wrong www.nohumaninvolvedfilm.com/
@@a_lethe_ion Er. If you are answering my post, you clearly got me wrong. I´m not saying it is OKAY to socially stigmatize sex workers - I´m saying it´s a fact. Sex workers do get stigmatized for a number of reasons, which is why treating this subject lightly or dismissing the fallout of such an occurrence is problematic. You can´t just ignore this because you feel differently.
there's a reason for stigma, yes, it's a description, but its also Ambig. it could say there's a Reason for stigma and its the disdain and hate of society against sex workers and some comes from johns hating the SWs for being attractive to them. Sex workers overwhelmingly say their biggest problems are policemen who love the guise of help to harass them, its other parents being disdainful so their child will be bullied and the school sends CPS at them to drive them away. or it can mean: Sex work is disgusting and immoral, so offering to sell their time & attention for money is immoral when its related to sex, unless you are a doctor doing gynecological stuff, or a proctologist, or a cashier or a waiter who has to grit teeth through the 5th assgrab that evening.. so, because your message is so ambiguous it allows whorephobic people to agree as well as people arguing for decriminalization & support
@@matthewdaley746 The thing is, is that Both Barbwire and Biodome are both FAR Worse. Striptease is Funny Bad, So bad its hilarious.

I can tolerate Striptease, and some extent every once in a while sit through Barbwire, but Biodome is just UGH! Its ATROCIOUS.
This is a very misunderstood movie that went over people's heads, even at the time. It is a married woman's romantic fantasy about escaping your humdrum poor life and being swept away by a rich man who thinks you are the most gorgeous woman in the world and cannot help himself but pursue her, which she considers but then goes back to her husband. It is the kind of thing a lot of women trapped in poverty with a man she married might fantasize about. Her husband was an idiot, they bought a house they could not afford and gambled as that was the only thing he could come up with. She was about to be homeless and is tied to her husband's bad decisions. So this megarich handsome older guy shows up and is sooo infatuated he would pay a million dollars just for one night! A woman would feel so validated with her beauty and think "hey, I still have it despite being married!". The rich guy goes all out and wines and dines her and he is never a jerk (despite paying for her, it is like loving a call girl you paid for, like Pretty Woman), but in the end, she just loooves her hubby too much! Because of the competition by this rich, powerful guy, after being jealous, he pulls himself together and realizes how much he loves her. It is a movie about a thought a woman like her, in her situation, might have for a moment as a fantasy to escape her circumstances. And I get you may not like Robert Redford, but back in the day, even in his mid-50's, he was considered a very good looking guy. No woman who watched this thought he was "old and wrinkly", he was considered by many even in the early 1990's to still be quite a handsome man that a woman who was 30 (which was her age at the time) would not find even remotely unattractive. It wasn't like she was 18. People thought it was about Redford's character being creepy (like this reviewer did, 30 years later) but it was actually intended to be the exact opposite of that.
Ah, yes. The movie that destroyed the career of the director behind "Fatal Attraction" and "Jacob's Ladder," the latter of which is one of my favorite horror movies of all time. GOD, how this movie irks me for that alone, never mind its other numerous faults...😡

@@matthewdaley746 as I said, you cannot clean up a dumpster fire... I've read an article of gizmondo (i think?) after your comment, and I kinda love how, for give a slight "quality" to the movie, one of the writers said "it's(star wars) never been great, just fans that overblown it. it's a good popcorn flick"... but it kinda sounded like "science fiction is just for kids"...and I have a issue with that. also one of the writers seemed under the impression that "the Conjuring" is like a super mature horror movie that kids could not watch...
It's Sade's fault the movie did well. I was a kid when the movie came out, but I remember they played No Ordinary Love in the previews and I know a lot of people liked that song.
I guess they did the roulette thing because it is a reference to Casablance: The fool is loosing everything while trying to gain much needed money for the couple and the gal is willing to do everything to get them outta trouble even if is against their vows.
I actually saw this movie when it was in theaters. I think the marketing just was good at sort of presenting this as "what would you do???" kind of issue, sort of encouraging people to talk about it, what would you do if you ever got put in this situation. I remember my mother interpreting it as "would you cheat on your husband for a million if on top of it you also get to bang Robert Redford????". I mean, you say it's a no brainer, but it was like what, the 90s? Where we still had plenty of moral panic topics like Bill Clinton or D&D=Satan Worship. It seems kind of dumb now, but somehow the marketing seemed to manage to turn it into a watercooler type topic. From what I remember they tried to do the same thing with the "sexual harassment by a female boss" movie also starring Demi Moore. My main memory of the movie itself was just that it was boring as fuck and there was no interesting "scandalous" chemistry between the characters either. It wasn't even fun sleazy like Showgirls. Of for motive: I just kind of always assumed that Robert Redford's character did it to fuck with people. To see whether he could buy a normal woman who wasn't a prostitute. Because just buying a prostitute would be too easy. Like it's more fun if it also potentially destroys people's lives if the husband and wife can no longer trust each other after that.
Matthew Daley Well “Indecent Proposal” was based on a book of the same name, which was published in 1988, so the similarities between the two films are entirely coincidental.

Sound is very important in motion pictures. Sometimes you can hear lots of things like cat walking, overlapping dialogue, hitting, breaking, and so on...there were moments you're saying to the sound engineers and say "gee, I like that this and that kind of sound." From there, they're mixing and editing sound effects, dialogue and music to add an nice mix. And Andy Nelson, Steve Pederson, Scott Millan, Keith A. Wester and Alan Robert Murray were the post production sound mixing and editing team on "Indecent Proposal" did such an wonderful job for Adrian Lyne's 1993 beautiful erotic drama with an all star cast, produced and released by Paramount Pictures, a Viacom Company.

And that would make his hissy fit more credible and relatable. Because THAT SCENE was horrible! It didn't feel as if their relationship was put to the test, it felt like they had a toxic relationship from the very beginning and that wasn't charming in the slightest.
Also good God am I happy that my brain doesn't crave sex or me hooking up with the same person for the rest of my life because damn! I would lie if told you that I wouldn't cry in that situation but I would also be outta of here! 😒

@@matthewdaley746 Watch the Channel Awesome review of Alone in the Dark, you'll get the joke.
At 8:44 I always interpreted that scene as David wanting to wipe off the makeup that she wore for Gage the night before. Remember when she's on Gage's boat she applies the red lipstick, wears the fancy dress he left for her and "dolls " herself up. Throughout the rest of the film especially when she's with David she really does not wear heavy makeup. So I always took that scene as David metaphorically trying to wipe any traces that remind him of Diana's night with Gage away. Also I never knew this movie won or was even nominated for razzies, lol. I used to like it a lot when it was released, but to be fair, I was also 10 years old so it wasn't hard to impress me. I loved Demi Moore as well as a kid and after seeing this movie I cut my waist long hair into a bob cut just like Demi in the film, i thought it made me look like her, but looking back at childhood pics , it was extremely unflattering on me. Oh well, lol. And I'm not ashamed to admit that I loved and still enjoy Sliver and Indecent proposal nowadays, lol. Dare I say I even prefer the plot of Sliver over that of Basic Instinct, lol.

Yeah the dude was hot. I don't get the ageist comments from this channel.
I don't know... Maybe I'm stretching it but there's quite the age gap between Redford and Moore, and I might not have been a long term fan of Shaun but after a year I know his stance on the matter. 😏
I'll take Redford at 57 over Leo.
Smeghead made my best of 2019 list, dude, congrats!
If you were alive and conscious of the media surroundings this film, you would know that it got a lot of hype in the daytime talk shows. The “would you take that indecent proposal” was asked in a lot of water cooler chats. So basically they all watched the movie to be able to talk about it in the office.
Indecent Proposal received a lot of hype when it came out, but it just wasn’t a good movie. The worst part of the film I remember was there was no chemistry at all between Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson. The same was true about Demi Moore and Robert Redford. All three are great actors and each have been in some really good films but the casting choices and the premise of the film just didn’t work.
Two out of three ain't bad, Demi Moore, like Melanie Griffith, was far better at strategically-timed marriages, than she could ever hope to be at acting.
From what I remember, Demi Moore was a High Paid Actress at the time. She was also married to Bruce Willis at the time. IP was successful commercially because of hype surroundings Demi Moore.
I spoke to older kids who went to go see it in '93. They described it as: What a Letdown. It was Stupid and Sleazy.
@@Tornado1994 Spot on, all of those factors, plus, its complete lack of quality, conspired to painfully date the film almost immediately.

@@chrisazylum6624 what has always strike me as strange is people hate the way Curly stalkes Rhonda. But they seem to be perfectly okay with the way Helga stalkes Arnold. And she's a lot more creepy.
@@grapeshot Helga has a crush on Arnold because she believes Arnold is the only one who truly loves her due to her neglectful family.
@@chrisazylum6624 That might be the case. But some of the things she does to Arnold is straight meanness. I think it's more of it's a double standard if a woman does certain things it's okay. But if a man does it then it's all bad.
@@grapeshot Interesting take.
I think that the whole illicit affair was what adults loved about this movie back in the day, and the fact that the sex scenes were mostly uncensored, as for teenagers, Demi Moore being partially nude. I need to say more?
Robert Redford doesn't even need to give me a million dollars to do me.
Watch yo self now.😢
Naked Demi Moore, hype, had a lot of power back than.
Correct.
@@Tornado1994 Less than a decade later, absolutely all of that power had slipped away, never to return.
Yup. Her Career destroyed in one fell swoop by Striptease.
@@Tornado1994 That, plus, her divorce from Bruce Willis, which was the only reason her career soared to those heights in the first place.
Eventually, we learned, with, or, without clothes, there simply wasn't any talent, and, that was just the end of her.
Is there any genre of movie that has aged worse and become dated more quickly than the "90s Erotic Thriller?"
You're not kidding. I think if you buy this movie, you get Disclosure, Single White Female, Basic Instinct, and Fatal Attraction for free.

This is one of those special movies that was already bad on its release but thanks to values dissonance has become EVEN WORSE.

If a cartoon from 1996 parodies this with coat stain blackmail and the premise is so stupid that you think they made it up on their own, your movie is hilariously bad.
Robert Redford at the age he was in “indecent proposal “ I would’ve done it for free but a million doesn’t hurt.. Woody Harrelson in it is so immature. I would’ve left him for Robert Redford! ewe Robert Redford..whatever :p
the concept is so laughable they even spoofed it in Kingpin, which starred my boy Woody Harrelson
The movie has its share of faults, but its goal is to get you thinking about the concepts of infidelity, prostitution, self worth, insecurity, greed and love. Would it bother me if my partner cheated on me "for a good cause," do people have their price and what is it, does sex for money leave an emotional impact on the participants, can one night stand ruin a relationship even when at first the couple thinks it's not a big deal, should a person sell "their honor" to help their partner and should the partner even let them do it, etc. If you don't care about any of that, this movie is a boring moralistic claptrap, but if you do, then it's a very interesting psychosexual melodrama that's completely in the realm of possible. Also, Redford wants Demi BECAUSE she's in a relationship. He's inserting dominance by proving that even a married woman can be bought like a prostitute. It's an underrated movie, frankly.
“What about this film was so enticing?” He says over images of Demi Moore in her absolute prime (although weirdly, maybe just because she stands out more among all the ugliness, I’ve always thought her absolute most beautiful appearance on film was in the weird, weird Dan Akroyd vehicle “Nothing But Trouble”)
God damn it Sean, you woke me up. Good stuff though!
yeah, sean, do it!
Dammit I was just about to go to bed for work tomorrow.
Still a step up from Sean uploading in the middle of the night
Is it weird to say that the only reason I know this movie was because of that one episode from Friends when Monica yelled at Phoebe for messing up her haircut and was listing some of the movies Demi Moore has been in such as this one and Ghost when trying to explain the type of hairstyle she wanted? She wanted Demi Moore's hairstyle but Phoebe thought that she said Dudley Moore.
Lauren210 No. I first found out about those movies Demi Moore was in because of that episode.
Matthew Daley Who?
The soundtrack with Sade also helped it alot..
I saw that movie and I loved it, hated Redford’s character. The man was evil and deserved no sympathy or pity not even with that sappy story he tells Moore’s character.
I also read the book and I can tell you this: the billionaire is even more evil. I’ll wait to see a comment if they want spoilers
orlandobabe Easily his most unlikeable role. There were many times I just wanted to reach thru the movie screen and beat the crap out of him! (Also, can't say I loved the movie........................I DESPISED it).
The Man has done it again! Well done Broski and Happy Holidays you little woogie!
To answer your question I think Gage just has a thing for married women. I know some people just have a married people fetish. It’s not that uncommon.
Mason Allen that or his character is just used to getting whatever he wants because of his wealth and such. So he’s constantly testing how much he can get away with by going for the “unattainable” . Probably both tbh 🤔
I've been watching your videos for about 5 years now, and I swear, you haven't aged at all.
May be his kink is married women.
Man...the early 90's was a whacky time for film...LOL!
The money-strewn nude scene wouldn't have been helping the movie be such a success if there were the Internet back then. We've got Google Images.
Well, there's a reason why "erotic thriller/drama" only were "big" in 80s/90s. People didn't have easy access to porn. Hence why nearly all those movies are "ok" at best and terrible normally.
@@youtube-kit9450 For me, it's sheer fun.
Yes this film is ludicrous. But if I may give you a little insight from a healthy, heterosexual woman, Robert Redford was GORGEOUS in this film. Creepy maybe. Old? Old-ish. But BEAUTIFUL!!
Last Action Hero was great!
there I said it.
Lots of people marry young and do fine. Just because you wouldn't like the idea doesn't mean it is "wrong" or against "common sense" (common to whom anyway?). Obviously it wont work for many but that is the case with everything in life.
check out my movie review on Indecent Proposal, th-cam.com/video/QwgQgJHmVe0/w-d-xo.html
Yeah some do. I've known high school sweethearts who got married by age 21 and stayed together for life, some like me who got married young and it didn't work out, and some who were mature at the time of marriage and it still didn't work out for long. There's no real rhyme or reason for why some couples make it work and some don't. No consistent rules.
The early 90s was a very different cultural and moral atmosphere than today. Just think about the fact that we went 12 years under Reagan and Bush, and the internet was just barely beginning to exist in the form we now know. Just as we look at content banned in hyper-conservative countries today with confusion as to how this could be scandalous, there were enough people who were that moralistic and that sheltered for this to be considered naughty and taboo and thrilling. Also, while the editing and score may be crap, the clips you show demonstrate that it is at least very well shot in that early 90s way.
Steve George speaking of banned content, every side is guilty of that. And that also includes the overall opposition as well. Anarchists & conspiracy theorists are guilty of censoring content from their presence that logically disproves their “awakened” ideologies. And yes, I was one of them.
My parents bought their house the same year. It cost $80,000 and is in central Alabama.

It's funny because it's true?
I remember watching this movie back in the day and mainly wondering why they cast Woody Harrelson with Demi Moore. To me, they just didn't seem to have any kind of real chemistry so I never felt any kind of loss for either of them when it ended. I do agree that Oliver Platt is massively underrated. Despite the cheesiness of the movie, I loved him in Lake Placid. :)
Demi Moore's marriage got her plenty of undeserved parts, said parts dried up upon her divorce, his new niche is narration, The American Experience is a revelation.
Platt is in Dr. Dolittle as well. He and BFF Stanley Tucci are like the Modern Day Abbott and Costello.
@@Tornado1994 Except, Stanley Tucci isn't limited to comedic roles, and, actually, seems to have quite a range.
Er... Objection! I love your videos and everything about them, but off-handedly nixing the possibility that accepting this proposal could spell trouble for s couple, both morally and emotionally? Dude, not cool. In accepting, Demi essentially prositutes herself with her husband being the pimp in this scenario. They are both unwilling, they are only agreeing because they are desperate. Demi gets shoved into an age-old victim role with a sadistical choice: Either whore yourself out or see your beloved husband lose his dream. That‘s some pretty nasty stuff. Enlightened as you may be, there‘s a reason why prostitution carries social stigma, and essentially forcing your wife to do this should weigh heavily on every man with an ounce of decency. I remember watching this movie, and while it is pretty much over-the-top melodrama, it is correct in telling us the emotional fallout of such a thing would indeed be considerable. So yeah. Bit too light-hearted there with your dismissal, methinks. Sorry bout the interruption, keep up your great work!
ph fuck this.. not noting that this situation may be emotionally difficult, evil and traumatic for a subset of people, but your bullshit about how its okay to socially stigmatize sexworkers.. because that is what happens.
whores don't fear John's, they fear the fucking police, they fear rape, assault, they KNOW that when they disappear in a country or place who share your fucked up moralist views, people hate sexworkers and will not give a flying fuck about their health and safety.
they give so little fuck they don't talk to them.
they give so little fuck that, in murders involving a murdered sexworker in , the police literally wrote "No human victims"
fight trafficking with sexworkers and johns, because when sexwork is not criminalized, those are the majority of tip givers re:trafficking victims..
i would fuck that guy for a thousand. I still love my partner, I don't ascribe emotional weight to sex. Its totally okay when other people do it, sure, but don't use that or the fact this clearly was unethical because both didn't want it to support whorephobic stigma which kills regularly because people look down on sexworkers. no, I'm not one, btw, nor am I a customer, Im a female with friends who work in sexwork by choice and acquaintances who do survival sexwork and don't love it, but prefer it to working as cleaner or cashier
oh.. "No human involved" was not a joke
but an actual terms used by police when a crime had sexworker, gang members, drug adfics as victims..
because dehumanizing people is just normal so guards can murder someone by action and in action and get away with it because they "just whores"

@@a_lethe_ion Er. If you are answering my post, you clearly got me wrong. I´m not saying it is OKAY to socially stigmatize sex workers - I´m saying it´s a fact. Sex workers do get stigmatized for a number of reasons, which is why treating this subject lightly or dismissing the fallout of such an occurrence is problematic. You can´t just ignore this because you feel differently.
there's a reason for stigma, yes, it's a description, but its also Ambig.
it could say there's a Reason for stigma and its the disdain and hate of society against sex workers and some comes from johns hating the SWs for being attractive to them.
Sex workers overwhelmingly say their biggest problems are policemen who love the guise of help to harass them, its other parents being disdainful so their child will be bullied and the school sends CPS at them to drive them away.
or it can mean: Sex work is disgusting and immoral, so offering to sell their time & attention for money is immoral when its related to sex, unless you are a doctor doing gynecological stuff, or a proctologist, or a cashier or a waiter who has to grit teeth through the 5th assgrab that evening..
so, because your message is so ambiguous it allows whorephobic people to agree as well as people arguing for decriminalization & support
because?

Ironic, since the latter killed her career, along with "Scarlet Letter" and "GI Jane".
This is a very misunderstood movie that went over people's heads, even at the time. It is a married woman's romantic fantasy about escaping your humdrum poor life and being swept away by a rich man who thinks you are the most gorgeous woman in the world and cannot help himself but pursue her, which she considers but then goes back to her husband. It is the kind of thing a lot of women trapped in poverty with a man she married might fantasize about.
Her husband was an idiot, they bought a house they could not afford and gambled as that was the only thing he could come up with. She was about to be homeless and is tied to her husband's bad decisions. So this megarich handsome older guy shows up and is sooo infatuated he would pay a million dollars just for one night! A woman would feel so validated with her beauty and think "hey, I still have it despite being married!". The rich guy goes all out and wines and dines her and he is never a jerk (despite paying for her, it is like loving a call girl you paid for, like Pretty Woman), but in the end, she just loooves her hubby too much! Because of the competition by this rich, powerful guy, after being jealous, he pulls himself together and realizes how much he loves her. It is a movie about a thought a woman like her, in her situation, might have for a moment as a fantasy to escape her circumstances.
And I get you may not like Robert Redford, but back in the day, even in his mid-50's, he was considered a very good looking guy. No woman who watched this thought he was "old and wrinkly", he was considered by many even in the early 1990's to still be quite a handsome man that a woman who was 30 (which was her age at the time) would not find even remotely unattractive. It wasn't like she was 18.
People thought it was about Redford's character being creepy (like this reviewer did, 30 years later) but it was actually intended to be the exact opposite of that.
I know a lot of guys that would take proposal, better than her cheating for free.......or Prince Andrew....
Why? Because guys never cheats for free?

That film, by all rights, should have been a total disaster, but, by a minor miracle, all of the bizarre elements fit together perfectly.
I actually saw this movie when it was in theaters. I think the marketing just was good at sort of presenting this as "what would you do???" kind of issue, sort of encouraging people to talk about it, what would you do if you ever got put in this situation. I remember my mother interpreting it as "would you cheat on your husband for a million if on top of it you also get to bang Robert Redford????". I mean, you say it's a no brainer, but it was like what, the 90s? Where we still had plenty of moral panic topics like Bill Clinton or D&D=Satan Worship. It seems kind of dumb now, but somehow the marketing seemed to manage to turn it into a watercooler type topic. From what I remember they tried to do the same thing with the "sexual harassment by a female boss" movie also starring Demi Moore.
My main memory of the movie itself was just that it was boring as fuck and there was no interesting "scandalous" chemistry between the characters either. It wasn't even fun sleazy like Showgirls.
Of for motive: I just kind of always assumed that Robert Redford's character did it to fuck with people. To see whether he could buy a normal woman who wasn't a prostitute. Because just buying a prostitute would be too easy. Like it's more fun if it also potentially destroys people's lives if the husband and wife can no longer trust each other after that.
"sexual harassment by a female boss" = DISCLOSURE
He could care less about Diana, he wants to break the man.
Also it is a moral quandary, I would never let anyone sleep with my wife.
Redford basically was/is the George Clooney of the 60's-80's.

motion picture with a rousing cast in 1993.
I never really understood this movie. I would have sex with ANYONE (especially any of this film's cast) for a million dollars (or in some cases much less). What's the dilemma?
The dilemma is that Diana is married. Would you allow your wife or husband to have sex with someone for a million dollars?

Yeah, why the hell did the Razzies ignore that movie?!
The draw to her was because she presented him with a challenge. “The dress is for sale. I’m not.”
Was the sound engineer's cat walking across his Casio while the soundtrack was being recorded?
Honestly, the music sounds like it should go to a sci-fi movie, not an erotic thriller.
@@gageperuti5519 Yeah, it doesn't match tone-wise. Even so, it's badly produced.

Sound is very important in motion pictures. Sometimes you can hear lots of things like cat walking, overlapping dialogue, hitting, breaking,
and so on...there were moments you're saying to the sound engineers and say "gee, I like that this and that kind of sound." From there, they're
mixing and editing sound effects, dialogue and music to add an nice mix. And Andy Nelson, Steve Pederson, Scott Millan, Keith A. Wester and
Alan Robert Murray were the post production sound mixing and editing team on "Indecent Proposal" did such an wonderful job for Adrian Lyne's 1993 beautiful erotic drama with an all star cast, produced and released by Paramount Pictures, a Viacom Company.
Been waiting for this one for a long time.
Honeymoon in Vegas did it better just the year before.
Will your next review be another Christmas movie? If so, please let it be Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.
