    It’s actually impressive that John’s career has been around for so long that he has had many comebacks and setbacks: from Carrie to grease to Saturday night fever to the look who’s talking franchise to pulp fiction to get shorty to the generals daughter to face/off to battlefield earth to hairspray to the people vs oj Simpson to many other performances, good and bad. You definitely can’t say the man doesn’t have range. They should get him on for GQ where he breaks down his entire career.

  • @markula_4040
    @markula_4040 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +56

    I think part of the reason is career hasn't really recovered from Battlefield Earth is because he no longer looks human and more like an alien disguised as a human with all that plastic surgery. He could have been enjoying a Paul Newman or Robert Redford like late career renaissance if he just allowed himself to age gracefully instead of going under the knife.

    He used to order from a restaurant my parents worked at in Daytona Beach and all my mom has to say is "he was short and had planes" 😂 idk why I find her response so funny.
    And all I can personally say is ... GREASE! He definitely lit up every scene he was in and could sing. Plus he was so cute. I had the script printed out when I was like 7/8 and made my friend 'perform' it with me BUT I had HAD to be Danny every single time 😂 I was always a little, um, different lol.
    Now my 1 year old LOVES the songs too and its great 😊
    BTW I liked The Fanatic. Randomly found it when my bf and I first moved in together with only an antenna we'd go search dollar store for dvds and found that one night, expecting it to be so bad it was funny. We actually both enjoyed it. Not a GREAT movie but wasn't a bad one.

    @WizardOfOss 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I think one problem with Travolta is that he has such a unique look, voice and mannerisms, you're always looking at a version of Travolta, not so much the character he's playing. Which is absolutely fine if the movie fits him, not so much when it didn't. I mean, for a movie like Face/Off, it's hard to imagine a better leading couple than Travolta and Cage, exactly because it only emphasized they were playing each other (in the process proving both their acting skills). And even with Pulp Fuiction, I can totally look at his character as an older version of ones he played before.
    Even when he made a lot of duds, in most cases it was still fun watching him. Only Battlefien Earth was just truly painful.

      Tarantino went on. “The rest of the industry was telling me I was crazy.” However, all it took was for Tarantino to show the Miramax producers Travolta’s work in Brian De Palma’s Blow Out for him to finally get the job.
      Tarantino explained that if they didn’t think it was a “great performance” in Blowout, then maybe he shouldn’t have been making the film with them in the first place. Of course, Travolta got the role, made his big comeback in the film industry and delivered one of his greatest-ever performances.

    Poor guy honest. I hate Scientology, but I don’t blame Tom or him for taking part. He’s taken a ton of heat with really wild rumors.

    I first saw John Travolta in Broken arrow 😅❤. We had the VCD of that movie alongside many other action movies. No1 could have played that role of a overconfident, egoistic yet charming smart ruthless bad guy with a mean streak to him as Travolta played . I mean most people forget that Christian slater was also in that movie. Travolta ate him in that role very bad😂 to the point that he is nonexistent and faded out of people's minds today. His role in Face-off is also awesome to watch alongside Nic cage. Swordfish was also fun to watch 😅. I always enjoyed watching him play Bad guys very much. I hope he comes back and has a late resurrection again like 90s.

    People can say whatever they want about John Travolta but he's one of the best actors in film history, much better than many that are considered great but are a bunch of overrated actors. The same goes for Nicolas Cage.

      I agree re both (always search for their DVD's at outlets)
      Nicholos Cage John Travolto Combo that I have.
      - Cage in "City of Angels" With John T on Michael (2 in one)
      (City of Angels was redone many times - old beautiful black and white)

    I follow my own opinions and not a bunch of critics. Trust me, do the same and i guarantee you'll find some of your fave films or stars are the ones critics hate.

    For Goodfellas,
    I always thought John Travolta would be a better Tommy than Joe Pesci because his appearance almost matches the actual criminal.

  • @zsoltbartus169

    A few great movies, many mediocre, and bunch of bad ir worse...
    Pulp Fiction was directed by Tarantino who already a great director. Travolta had a great direction with that film that made it possible to do his best.
    But it seems like he is totally unable to decide whether he should or shouldn't join to a movie, and a movie should or should not be made.

    • @sazure2
      @sazure2 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      MHO do better research. He started decades ago TV, Broadway and later films. A rare achievement for any actor. Many many amazing moves MHO.

    Haven't seen many of his films & was really fascinated by the wide range of different looks he had pulled off, esp. surprising given how very distinctive his face shape & eyes are - you'd think he might just "look like himself" in every role, but nope, there's quite a chameleon quality to him? Think the older Travolta with shaved head & goatee is a great look!
    He seems super-high-energy onscreen - hope that translates to his having had a good time in his profession and being good to work with, regardless of critical success or failure. Maintaining such a high-stress career despite the awful personal tragic losses is quite an achievement too!

    @12:49 -- you neglect to mention that because of his scientology beliefs, travolta and his wife avoided seeking conventional medical treatments for jett, took him off the medication he was on that was for his seizure disorder (kawasaki disease)... some might consider that he is partially at fault for the death of his child.
