The Iron Giant - What's the Difference?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ส.ค. 2024
- The Iron Giant just turned 20 and its message of non-violence is just as relevant today as ever. Adapted from a 1968 Ted Hughes short novel about fear in the atomic age, director Brad Bird crafted a classic of modern animation. It's time to not be a gun and ask "What's the Difference?"
![Exclusive! น้องลิกก้า&น้องโรร่า มาแล้ว!! [cc] แดนแพทตี้ SS2 | EP.48 |](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/UmlpJhRekyY/mqdefault.jpg)
One of my favorite facts about the movie was the pitch,
“What if a gun had a soul, and and chose not to be a gun.”
Kinda sounds like the whole gender thing going on now
The director came up with the whole new plot from the "iron man" story because I think (dont quote me) but someone close to him got murdered by gunshot and he pitch it with that line
@white america's worst nightmare Why are you generalizing people you have no idea who are?
I'm going to use this, If I ever meet a person who hasn't seen this movie.
@nathaniel amaya So was your face
"You are who you choose to be."
"... Super Man"
*Me ugly crying*
He didn't want to be Iron Man anymore.
This always gets me. One of the only things to make me cry on command.
Every freaking time...
Doggone it...
ArchangelExilem
"That missile is targeted to the giant's current position!... WHERE'S THE GIANT, MANSLEY!?"
“Oh oh! Duck and cover!”
@@3xfaster "You can't survive this YOU IDIOT!"
One of my favorite lines in the movie
"We're all going to die Mansley, for our country >:("
Vadose Axis “SCREW OUR COUNTRY, I WANT TO LIVE!”
I always get chills when Iron Giant faces the missile.
And by chills you mean tear up... I don't think I've ever actually been through that movie once without crying at the penultimate scene. Knowing fully well that it's a happy ending I still get teary eyed.
The one movie that makes me cry like a bitch.
I get set off just a little earlier. There's something so poignant about the townsfolk all quietly, bravely facing their immanent deaths because every one of them understands that there's *nothing* they can do but watch the missile approach.
and he says "Superman" chills every time
You and me both
"You stay. I go."
Waterworks. Every time.
Then tears of joy when you see he is still alive
MistuhRobe no “following”
even just reading that sentence destroys me
Plot twist
You go
I stay
((Chucks hogarth at the missle))

the original release of the move still left the giants origin a mystery. the deleted scene was added to the special release of the movie
To be honest it would have been better as a mystery too for it's main point. The fact this is a weapon from a conquering army does add other avenues and questions that can read down dark roads. Which kind of defeats the message I think. But eh.
Yeah that was the version I saw. I was thinking "wait, I never saw a scene like that in the movie" but now I understand
Sakraida82 I get where you’re coming from, but isn’t the message of the film (at least one of them) “you are who you choose to be?” Isn’t a robot built as part of a planet dominating army deciding to help instead of harm a pretty awesome example of choosing who you want to be?
Just my take. Fantastic film either way
@@isaacchura141 I agree with that arguement because by Design the iron giant is a weapon. It explains the crazy war machine it becomes toward the end of the movie and the fact that its created to destroy but instead it chooses to be something better reinforces the theme. The scene makes sense and its not overly expositional in the first place, its like 12 seconds of expositional animation if even that long
They still show it coming in on a meteor though I thought
Severely underrated film and one of the few that still brings a lump in my throat!
Superman! My god the feels!
I was getting teary eyed when the scene came up on this video lol.
Every damn time! And I'm impressed and grateful that after all these years, just seeing that moment still hits me at my core! Iron Giant is a masterpiece as far as I'm concerned and one of my top 5 faves of all time.
@Mr. Perfect Cell i feel so burned inside when i see that part
LOL The Iron Giant is not underrated
I wish this movie was more successful *than the mass-appeal Transformers series of good human-like Autobots vs. alien-language speaking, otherworldly-looking Decepticons alongside way too much silly dialogue from every actual person.*
The Iron Giant, a true Man of Steel, a true Superman.
But he wasn't a mopey psychopath who snaps people's necks. I thought That was Superman.
Some would say he’s a IronMan😏
Vicente Ortega Rubilar just like Stalin
And an... Iron Man.
The real Superman would be proud.
So that's what the movie was missing, a Space Bat Angel Dragon.
Everything is missing the space-bat-angel-dragon. Everything.
I smell sequel
It's no Thunder Cougar Falcon Bird, but it's close.
Lol a couple of them
@@lanceturley7745
Depends, the regular or the delux? I like a lot of eagle in my car.
If I see iron giant I’m clicking instantly
Should be on Netflix... It was last year anyway.
@@ilovebutterstuff screw Netflix and their pc garbage
Can't find one nugget of useful entertainment in that entire media outlet? Damn, that fuckin sucks.
@@SeriusChevy meh i thought the new 12 forever and Stranger things, and Mindhunter were cool, and somehow 12 forever is much creepier than the 2 other shows
Same unless I’ve seen it already
The iron giant is a masterpiece, I’m especially a fan of how he is literally a 3D character in a 2D movie, but you can’t tell because of how everything is shaded, how they did all the shadows and how they shot him. He looks like he fits perfectly into this world, yet also feel slightly alien in a good way.
Why did you show the ending to the Iron Giant? I'm crying again :( god damn it
😥 i know
It wasn't even the whole ending and it destroyed me...
dwarfdigger135 but he’s gonna put himself back together again. It’s not a sad ending.
I always tear up when Hogarth pleads with the Giant and talks him down from war mode: "It's bad to kill, and guns kill, and you don't have to be a gun! You are what you choose to be! YOU choose!" It always gets me right in the heart.
@@SonnyGTA Fun fact: the "Iceland" scene where all the parts come back together was added at the studio's insistence. Originally the glowing screw rolled away from Hogarth's window, but it didn't show IG coming back together.
I've heard about this film for decades but whenever I'd seen clips I knew I'd not seen it, but the story of an iron giant was familiar.
It's only after watching this I remembered I read the book as a child.
Thanks Cinefix for some fond memories.
ThoughtCriminal watch the movie!
@@thebatmanbadass30000 Read the book!
Imagine being introduced to The Iron Giant by that one episode of Duck Dodgers in the 24th and 1/2 Century.
The angel dragon idea feels like something Grant Morrison would think up of in a story
Still Vin Diesel's best role imo
Groot is a close 2nd but Iron Giant still wins it for me too.
@Cyberdemon Mike We're talking about a movie for the whole family, not just for pre-pubescent boys.
@Cyberdemon Mike Were taking about a movie for adults, not pre-pubescent boys.
@Cyberdemon Mike We're talking about a movie for people that aren't retarded, not just for pre-pubescent boys.
Had almost completed its theatrical release when Roger Ebert praised it to the Moon and showed a clip. One of my favorites.
Space-Bat-Angel-Dragon: "Hey Earth, King Ghidora says HI!"
Earth: "Ah, crap!"
Iron Giant vs Godzilla
@@warreng675 well we pretty much got Iron Giant vs Mechagodzilla in the Ready Player One movie
@@TEKKENKING23 I've not seen Ready Player One
Fun fact: the guy that did the voice of Kent Mansley also played Superman in Batman Beyond. _Ironic._
Interesting
It's also funny that both characters have "Kent" in their names, what with Superman's alter-ego being named Clark Kent and all.
""I am Superman" -- why are my eyes leaking? Who's cutting onions?? My favorite movie and I cry every time watch it, even just this clip.
Whenever the giant faces the missile and says “Superman” I always tear up a little
Best movie goodbye by far. By the time the iron giant willfully sacrifices himself to save the town, he's become so relatable it's so frickin touching, I get chills everytime
One of the few films from my childhood that I still love to this day.
The Iron Giant is a masterpiece
The Iron Giant - The best telling of the Superman story than anything nowadays.
Except the real superman story
@@XplodingTurtle
Nah, even og superman does it worse.
SoggyBreadMan nope
shadonic565 i never said anything about the movies. Im talking about the comics
No marvel movie will evet be half as good as the Iron-Giant, He uses Superman as a morally justified reason to do good and selflessly save those around him.Nothing from those terrible di$ney movies will evet have one third the emotional impact this movie has.
What a great movie. I re-watched this a couple years ago after not seeing since I was a kid, and it holds up so much better than expected. The destruction scene where he turns into the mega-weapon is so awesome, and the ending had me choked up. Undisputed cult-classic.
I was this years old when I found out the Iron Giant was based on a book.
Did you know the giant was a 3D model inserted into 2D animation?
@@hariodinio honestly, it doesn't look 2D at all tbh.
it's actually credited at the end of the movie
@@Man_of_culture_21411 didn't know that. It's been some time since I watched the movie
I read the book by Ted Hughes when I was 9, or 10...loved it.
I'm 30 now.
Oh yeah that rampage scene was badass gives me chills every time I see it
I haven't heard anybody use that term "wig out" in a long time.
No shit, Sherlock.
The Iron Giant is truly one of my favorite films of all time, and I had absolutely no clue it was based off a book. Definitely going to have to read it now
Hi Laycee!
It's very VERY loosely based on the book. And when I say 'loosley'...I mean like barely at all. LOL. Glad to hear that you love it so! :)
All the best to ya!
I'm 2 years late, but I remember the book being part of my school syllabus in class 4. I like the movie more.
If you're a music fan, Pete Townshend of The Who made an album of the book in the 80's, also titled "The Iron Man". He planned to turn it into a musical, the plan eventually changed to a movie, the music was later dropped completely, and Brad Bird became attached and made it into "The Iron Giant" as it is known today. Townshend retained Executive Producer credit.
@lapelcelery42 whoa!! I'll give that album a listen then, that's super cool!
The musical idea is very interesting
Howdy all you good peoples!
I was fortunate to be one of the animators on this wonderful film. On behalf of all of us who worked on the movie, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for all the wonderfully kind comments about the movie.
We're always so happy to see that it did find it's audience and is so highly regarded .
It really was such a passionate labor of love for us and to know that it's so loved by so many people who are STILL moved by it all these many years later, well...that's just magic for us.
Be well all! And again, thank you so much!
VIVA!!
It's an absolute crime that this movie wasn't recognised as it ought to have been during the original release. It's one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen, in every sense, and not one element of it is flawed. You guys really made something special for us. Thankyou.
Honestly, they don’t make animated films like this anymore.
Have you seen Into the Spiderverse? While it's not the same style or theme, it's an amazing film
well to be fair, cold war is over
@@madisonquinn3175 To be fair to 3D cgi, they snuck a whole lot of it into the Iron Giant.
@@madisonquinn3175 possibly. The giant himself is fully cgi for starters, (...)* Plus, almost all vehicles and the sorts are cg.
*EDIT: One of the actual animators of the film corrected me on an error, the 2D characters did not have any cgi-work or rotoscoping. They're all traditionally animated. So I removed the partion of my comment that was wrong
you talk like someone who exclusively consumes western media. that’s the bill for that.
If we ever get an iron giant sequel I want that Space Dragon!
Love the Fleischer style animation, just like the old Superman ones.
Also can we appreciate how great this film looks
never knew there was a book
I didn't know that either.
i didn't know that either.
crazy fact.
It's all fun and games until you're crying at a 30 second clip
One of the most underated animated movie of all time, shame they didn't make a second since it didn't do too well at the box office
Honestly, I think it doesn't need a sequel if the book didn't.
@@robbiewalker2831 Actually the book did get a sequel in the form of the Iron Woman
Still doesnt need one
Im happy there wasnt sequel tbh.
this needs a sequel
Man even the short clips of "You are who you choose to be. Now choose," and "Superman." Were enough to make my eyes water. The movie always makes me bawl like a baby.
it doesn't matter how many times it happens or how frequently...
I see a clip of the ending of the iron giant, I cry like a baby
The Iron Giant is a great movie. I love it!
And I had no idea there was a book/poem origin! This is awesome!
It's been a while since I've seen The Iron Giant, but I remember the fun with the under tones of the atomic area. And it was great to find out more about the original book. Keep it up!
This is one of the a few movies that just fucks my shit up and I cry every time
The Iron Giant's sacrifice, at the end, made me cry the first time.
I never knew this was an adaptation of a Book. And a short story? It's a really good one.
First and hell yeah I love this movie. Imma watch it again tonight. Happy 20th Anniversary Iron Giant
One of the greatest animated films. Shamefully underappreciated.
Even this 9 minute video made me cry all over again, I love this movie so much.
Woo more cinefix, gotta say as a new sub i love your vids
Bonus fact: The Iron Giant is the only movie in which you see Vin Diesel without makeup.
I saw the film (which is my favourite film)maany times and also read the book. Both are good .
I saw this movie when i was 3. Now im 23 and i still shed a tear at the end.
Akira What's the Difference - Part 2, wen?
They'll probably wait for the TV show to start for the extra clicks
@shadowdragoon6 He means, the Akira movie is only the first half of the manga, and wants a part 2 movie to finish adapting the manga.
I looooove the Iron Giant
I forgot how beautiful the animation of Iron Giant is. Thank you, CineFix. Thank you.
This movie was my childhood truly a work of art would definitely want this generation to watch it
The best ending that will make you sad
*open up*
ha ha
Pete Townsend wrote and recorded a concept album based on Ted Hughes book called The Iron Man: The Musical. Pete played Hogarth, John Lee Hooker was Iron Man and Nina Simone was the Space Dragon.
Bat 42 holy shit, JLH is perfect as the Giant !
I’m English and we were taught about the book in school. The book is definitely more of a children’s fable with an underlying moral, whereas the movie fleshes out almost every aspect and adapts it to fit better to the film format.
I loved this movie so much when I was kid. I still love it.
...The Iron Giant uses Vin Diesel fuel!
"...Super Man..." Ah yes, a literal man of steel.
I remember as a kid winning a competition and scoring a VHS version of the Iron Giant, The book (which at the time confused me because the story was different) and an action figure. Still love the movie to this day!
I enjoyed watching this movie with my 4 year old Grandson sitting on my lap. Very sweet story enjoyed with a very sweet boy. He’s 11 now and sitting on Papaw’s lap is a thing of the past. But we are still good buddies.
Yes! Gracias for your videos 🍀😎
I read the original novel before watching the movie, and I never noticed it was an adaptation. Shows how naive I was when I was young.
That's probably for the best.
I remember the book fondly and all the divergences from the text felt to me like they were just injecting the usual dumbed-down Hollywood spectacle into a fairly subtle piece of children's literature.
It's not artless by any account however the addition of violent action sequences, the change of setting and the definitive explanation of the giant's origin all rubbed me up the wrong way.
Maybe if I hadn't known it was an adaptation I could have appreciated the film as its own thing.
I really have to respect the amount of effort that went into research for all of this. The editing is well done, and the presentation of the research is incredible. Top-notch, thanks guys.
Nice! The Iron giant is the picture of my childhood because it hit me hard as a child
I just thought of a good one:
"The Brave Little Toaster"
*Pretty please do Whats the difference for Alita Battle Angel Movie vs Manga💜*
I was 5 when this movie came out... now I'm 24. A timeless movie.
My friend Peter say that with great power comes great responsibility.
The Iron Giant is a masterpiece and it's good it get recognized as such with time. The book while really different is also enjoyable and a must read for children.
Yay!
Damn i hope Brad Bird reignites The Spirit, or even a new Phantom
so... I'm probably going to watch this again now. thank again.
Such an underrates movie.
I first watched this movie in 4th grade in church and our Sunday School teacher told us about she had to do those duck and cover drills as a kid.
Y’all know I gotta leave my obligatory “When are you doing another of these for The Walking Dead season 4?” Soon please?
I’ve never been so early! It’s been so long since the last episode
I love when you guys feature animated films in your videos.
My god, this movie. THIS MOVIE. No other movie defined my childhood more than this one. I've easily seen it more than any other film, and I still watch it at least a few times a year. I'm at the point where I can close my eyes and describe what's happening on screen during the opening sequence, I've seen it so many damn times. I think most people who enjoy movies have that one film that they know front to back, and for me, it's this one.
When the Iron Giant faces the nuclear bomb is more emotional than the ending of Avengers: Endgame...
Space Dragon?
Damn it King Ghidorah!
When I went to see this, i had seen everything else at the theater i wanted to see that summer. Boy oh boy, I had no idea what I was getting into. Walking out of that theater, looking at every other guy, I could tell they felt the same as I did; "What the hell just happened to me?" We looked absolutely clobbered, red eyes and all. It is definitely a "male tearjerker", much like "Gladiator" soon after. I think "The Iron Giant" is one of the most perfect movies ever made.
I saw this movie by accident in the theater. It was a free Saturday matinee movie day sponsored for kids. I reluctantly took my kids to see it, thinking how bored out of my mind I would be watching a lame cartoon.
By the end of the movie, I'm choked up and crying. Couldn't wait for the video to come out to buy it. I watched it again at home, marveling what a gem it was. One of the best unexpected surprises I ever experienced.
A space dragon? Someone call Godzilla.
I remember being forced to read the book in year 4 and being very bored and so were the teachers so we stoped reading it and just watched the film
If I remember rightly their is a iron woman spinoff too
Fucking hell. That's a worrying snapshot of western education. The teachers were "very bored" and switched to a film?!
Man, I read the book as a kid but I didn't know there was a film until a few years ago. I LOVE the animation, I really need to find a way to watch it soon.
Wow I grew up hating this film but coming back to it as an adult who can understand it's over arching themes it's making me cry this movie is alot deeper than what I remember.
Alien dragon like fin fang foom battling a giant metal robot? I feel like the was a missed opportunity here.
or like king Ghidorah
(Me looking at the thumbnail)
Remember when a dragon challenged the giant to a bathhouse standoff
The Iron Man was one of my favourite books when I was a kid.
I was excited when I heard it was gonna be turned into a movie.
They made some pretty big changes in the adaptation, but all in all they did a fantastic job with the movie.
I'm kinda sad they never got to adapt the sequel, The Iron Woman.
I think now might be a good time for it, what with it's environmental theme.
yes, i love this movie. I'm so going to show it to my niece !
*“What if a gun had a soul, and chose not to be a gun.”*
Can you do What's the difference on Shrek, The Brave Little Toaster, Watership Down, Felidae, and The Fox and The Hound next please?
All in the same video?
This is a list of the following book/movie adaptations I want as their own individual episode. I really don't mean all in the same video. That'll be too long and ridiculous.
@@elmono6299 I was joking.
@@fictionfan0 wE cAnt tElL
Gotta say, in the theater, that shot we see at 8:49 was pretty flippin awesome.
So not to give you a huge heart felt long story but you guys and your videos do so much for me I lost my twin baby girl at 7 months and due to complication due to uterine fibrods plus my babys father due to suicide a month before they were born.i was out of work for many months. Your uploads have helped me gain a new refreshing perceptive on not only movies but life. It seems corny and I know that youtube is as social as I've been in months . I don't know if you will read this but keep up the great work. You guys remind me of my babies watched all your videos many time.thanks. And if you are doing any review. I request the Long Kiss Goodnight. And total recall. Thanks so much
*"YOU KNOW HOW MUCH HARDWARE I DRAGGED OUT HERE?!?!"*
*"YOU JUST BLEW MILLIONS OF TAX PAYER DOLLARS OUT OF YOUR BUTT!!!!"*
side thing: the imagery of the iron giant being caught in electrical wires is very nudge nudge godzilla.
I haven’t seen this movie since it came out on DVD! I need to revisit it
You know, when i saw thecover for the iron man, i immediately remember seeing it, and as you kept describing the book, I realized, "holy crap, i've read this before". Hell, i even remember the smell of the book cover
