    Fun fact: Casse was originally supposed to be rejected at the recruitment, but show up with his biplane and a missile strapped to it when the President asks if anyone has more missiles. This is why nobody seems to know who he is despite clearly participating & communicating earlier in the battle, and also why he needs cover fire with guns despite him being in the same plane. The cockpit shots were done 6 months after shooting, which is why his kids hair is way longer when he waves bye to them in the hangar. The fighter jet in exterior shots was digitally added over the biplane, which is why he appears to be flying so slow, especially during the "hello boys, I'm baaaaack" impact scene.

      Would love to see those outtakes, though I'm glad he wasn't rejected in the final cut. But I don't think they would reject him in that situation, the limited number of pilots and newbies who probably never even flew before and Russell with substantial military flying experience from Vietnam and his very heavy log of flight hours in general. The director and producer obviously connected the dots on this and therefore properly included him.🙂

    Roland Emmerich, the director of Independence Day, is famous for his epic disaster films.
    Not only has he made films like 2012 and Independence Day, he made his own Godzilla movie in 1998. People complained about it not having the "real" Godzilla, but it's still a fun western take on the genre. It starred Mathew Broderick and Jean Reno (Leon The Professional).
    He also made Stargate, which eventually spawned several TV shows and a novel series. It's an epic sci-fi adventure starring James Spader and Kurt Russell ("Ego" in Guardians Of The Galaxy 2).

    At 22:42 when blue say "and no one thought of this" for when they said to release the virus. You got to remember this was 1996 CGI and computer network viruses were not so "usual" stuff.

    • @Cau_No
      @Cau_No ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This wasn't CGI, they used models, puppets and pyrotechnics with compositing. Convincing Computer Generated Imagery was still expensive in the 90s.
      When someone asked the visual effects team "What software did you use to get the lighting on the plane?" they answered "A flashlight".
      The shadow on the obelisk was made by backing up a truck onto a model of it.
      The only CGI is what you actually see on the computer screens themselves.
      I wish people stop using CGI instead of VFX. That word does not mean what you think it means …
      The concept of computer viruses was known back then, but the writers ignored that you have to write them specifically for the OS, so Jeff Goldblum doing it in less than a day on a complete alien system is quite a stretch … but being IT myself I'd say he probably just installed Windows 95 on their mainframe …

      @@Cau_No - I love a lot of your points, and the little "Princess Bride" reference you slipped in, that was genius man. Personally, I wish that they would tone down a lot of CGI and bring back more Practical Effects, so many people today are constantly getting surprised with "How Good" the older style Special Effects look, and it kind of baffles me, because it's like ... they are using real actual physical objects for their special effects stuff... so of course it looks real ...... because it IS real, not a fake imaginary thing generated on a computer, so it will ALWAYS look very convincing. Don't get me wrong, with modern technological advances in computer tech, a lot of CGI is very good now and can look amazing, but I feel like in many instances, they should TRY to make real physical effects first, and resort only to CGI when it's really necessary to get something done, like space lazers, or death rays etc because CGI can make those really convincing and easily done. But spaceships and monsters ,,, just build models, use latex, makeup and costumes.

    Blue the overall theme of this movie is a modern update of H.G. Wells' novel War of the Worlds in which Martians invade Earth take over but are eventually defeated by a biological virus rather than a computer virus in this movie. There are subtle references to other famous Sci-fi movies. One example is when David's computer on the alien ship says "Good morning Dave" that is a reference to HAL the computer from 2001 A Space Odyssey

      - You know I have a secret that in actuality I share with many people all the time, it's wonderful, and it still shocks me how it feels like I'm the only one to make this conclusion.
      I have a cell, and a landline - however I never tell anyone really my cell number or even that I have one (It's for a very select few people who are "on the list" of my VIP), and I only ever share my landline number. It gives me the single most advantageous ability. If I don't want to talk to someone, especially like if your Boss calls on your day off, I can just ignore the call, and if someone later was like "Hey, I tried to call, but you didn't answer" I can just say "Oh, I was out, didn't get your call until later when i got back home" and NO ONE can argue it, because that's how landlines work, it's fantastic, and I'll never do any different, if you only have mobile phones, and you don't want to answer, people will get all mad and say "Oh, thanks for ignoring my call jerk" - my method lets me do what I want, but only when i want, and can't be made guilty for not answering calls.
      Also, why do people say "Such Big Phones" ??? they're literally just normal phone sized, always have been from like the invention of phones until now : ear thing is at the ear, mouthpiece is by the mouth, the handset fits on the base properly.... there is no "Big" involved, it's just phone sized stuff. the only reason people think of them (incorrectly) as "Big" is because electronics have always always been pushing for miniaturization, make things smaller, as a sales angle, a way to convince buyers "Look, it's so compact, so convenient, weighs less, so much better. Buy yours today" They really should push for "So Fragile, so flimsy, so easy to lose, so hard to find. Don't get one, buy a real phone today." At least that would be honest advertising. And then, they charge MORE for a product that uses less materials to make. And they can't really use that B.S. line about how "Harder" it is to make smaller things, labor costs go up, etc etc B.S. There isn't anything "Hard" about an automated assembly machine making 50K new phones a day, there is just the one guy watching the terminal making sure the machine actually doing the work keeps functioning. It literally would take the same amount of time to make a regular sized cell as it takes to make the new "Slimfit" ones, the parts would be smaller, but the assembly time would be pretty much identical. If they still did stuff like this by hand, they might have a point, but yeah, that excuse don't fly, they just use it as an excuse to artificially inflate prices to enable them to buy another new sports car to impress their paid G/F with front end implants.

    The scene at the end, when our two heroes emerge from the desert, their spaceship aflame behind them, is taken from the movie "The Right Stuff". That amazing film is about the first astronauts chosen by NASA to explore Space, in the Mercury missions of the early 1960s.
    It is based on the well-researched book of the same title, and shows us all the character flaws and the cool heroism of those chosen men. Above all, it shows us about the one, greatest test pilot of all time, who was Not selected for the Space program. He was Chuck Yeager, WWII air hero and the first man to break the sound barrier, and the coolest damn human to ever live.

    In case you’re wondering~
    The first attack went down like this: the aliens position their destroyer crafts above the target cities, using our satellites to maintain efficient communications as well as locate the exact positions of these cities. The destroyer’s primary weapon opens fire upon the city from its highest point; the resulting blast sends a wall of hellfire in all directions within a diameter of 15 miles - the exact width of the ships themselves. This blast wave annihilates literally everything in its path, and it’s only fast enough for humans to be unable to outrun. It’s a slow and painful death.
    The reason Russel Casse’s kamikaze attack was so effective was because he hit the destroyer craft’s weapon the exact second it fired. So the same hellfire you saw annihilate the major cities also annihilated the destroyers. Sweet revenge.~

    The notion of city-sized alien spaceships, hovering above all of Earth's major cities, was originated by Arthur C. Clarke in his 1953 novel, "Childhood's End". Clarke is best-known for his novel version of "2001: A Space Odyssey", on which he collaborated with filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, for four years.
    Arthur C. Clarke was a physicist as well as an S.F. author and popularizer of Science for young people. In 1945 he wrote a short paper that proposed using manned satellites in geosynchronous orbit, to make possible planet-wide coverage of radio signals. This concept is used today for all communications, except our satellites are unmanned. The concept is illustrated in "Independence Day" by Jeff Goldblum's character, in his drawing of three satellites having uninterrupted comms.

      4:55 Space is big, and back in the 90s, only a few nations had Aeronautic capability, or the capacity to actually observe near Earth activity. You wouldn't just see that thing.... Especially if the aliens were purposely approaching without radio activity until they were near the Earth. Also when you see the large mothership later on... No light. It's dark. Meaning its probably not very reflective, which means it wouldn't be easily detected by anyone on Earth. There's a quote from a disaster movie that came out just a couple years after this where a NASA scientist says to the president in that movie "With all due respect sir its a big ass sky, and we only have budget to observe about 10% of it at a time."

    The ship taking time to shoot the primary weapon is a recurrent and valid criticism of the final act. My explanation to that is the fact the ship is firing on the move, so it must take longer to gather the energy necessary for the shot. Mind that they took a few hours to position themselves before destroying the cities during the first wave. It's just my way of seeing it though.

    A bit off topic, but the game you mentioned at the start reminded me of a book (more a collection of illustrations).
    "Film in Five Seconds" by Matteo Civasch
    I'd recommend it even to people that (usually) don't read books; as mentioned, it's a book of very few words. And it makes for a nice present for everybody with some Interrest in movies.

  • @Caseytify

    In the original version, when Russell Casse said "I'm a pilot," they rejected him because he was so obviously drunk, so he didn't get an F/A-18 to fly.
    At the climax, when the president asked "doesn't anyone have any missiles left?" and Casse answered, he was flying his biplane with a missile duct taped to the side. Skipping the defective launch bit, the rest of the scene was the same. Test audiences didn't react well as they didn't like the implication that he planned his suicide from the start.
    They re-shot the scene so he was in a jet, and his decision was an unplanned sacrifice instead.
    All they did was re-shoot a couple close up scenes of Quaid in a jet cockpit. If you watch the scene again the Hornet flies oddly, the movement was originally matched to his biplane, and they didn't change that. All they did was stick another plane in. Isn't CGI wonderful?

    Please watch Jeff Goldblum starring in David Cronenberg's The Fly (1986).
    Jasmine went to El Toro to find Steve. Steve went to El Toro because he'd told her to go there. That was the first place to look for her--but his biggest worry was that she'd been killed there when El Toro was destroyed. Anyway, that's how he "found" her. He went right to where she was expected to be.
