2023-04-10 11:53:48 +0000 UTCThe movie "Memphis Belle" was entertaining and inspirational, but it took a lot of liberties with the true story. In particular, the Belle's return home from Germany on her 25th mission was pretty routine and not as dramatic as it was portrayed in the 1990 movie. https://youtu.be/0rYwk7seoK4?t=2040

2023-04-10 00:56:57 +0000 UTCI was in Vietnam at this time.65 and 66, I loved Adrian Cronauer's work but it was not as good as Robin's. This was a great movie and when I got home, I loved the movie in the theaters. We did have lots of up-to-date music and I loved the people there. Both the other soldiers and the Vietnamese who were not shooting at me)))) Thank you for your reaction to this.

2023-04-09 04:30:05 +0000 UTCThink she should watch One Hour Photo? Hehehee. But I do find myself loving Death to Smoochy. I do wish they'd release a CD soundtrack.

2023-04-09 00:21:17 +0000 UTCLong time viewer but just joined. Cassie, you speak so highly of Robin Williams and rightfully so. My favorite (but less well known) RW films are Awakenings (based on a true story), Bicentennial Man (based on a book written in part by Issac Asimov), and for Christmas time, Noel starring Susan Sarandon. Interestingly, RW plays an uncredited, but important role in this movie.

2023-04-08 22:00:53 +0000 UTCIn retrospect this may be both the best document of Robin Williams’ genius and the best Hollywood treatment of Vietnam. It shows Williams doing what he did his whole life: shining his light against the darkness of the ugliness of the world and his own demons and insecurities. It shows the healing power of humor in a way that isn’t cloying, self-aggrandizing or disrespectful of the real suffering and horrors of its setting. And it shows the situation in one small corner of the war, which is bad enough in terms of both its brutality and the U.S. government’s flagrant disregard for honesty and the lives of either the Americans serving the cause or the Vietnamese they were supposedly there to protect. By treating this with a light touch it allows us to understand that what it’s NOT showing us is far worse. In a country as divided as ours, that approach is more effective in getting audiences to ask the right questions about the war and accept that it was a moment of shame in our history than a barrage of burning bodies and lectures about U.S. colonialism - and it also makes the distinction between the actions of the government and the blameless U.S. soldiers who were themselves victims of the government’s craven duplicity. The problem with movies like Platoon and Apocalypse Now is that they think that showing us intense battle scenes will horrify us into renouncing war, while what they’re really doing is glamorizing the violence and savagery. If you want to know what war is really like, talk to a veteran; there are many in your community. No movie is going to replicate that experience. But GMV is a good story about the conflicting American values and mores in the early stages of the Vietnam war, which is as much as we can hope to get in the realm of fiction.

2023-04-08 21:56:31 +0000 UTCFor the historically accurate question, on Adrain C. not even close to the real history. As to the early days of Vietnam, ok. But only ok.

2023-04-08 19:25:24 +0000 UTCRv was a butt message. Cassie, Tonto was the Indian side kick of the Lone Ranger's side kick.

2023-04-08 18:37:06 +0000 UTCCassie, you know who Donna Reed is. She was in "It's a Wonderful Life ". She was the wife. Walter Brennen was a 3 or 4 time academy award winner and also Emmy winner for the Real McCoys.

2023-04-08 18:36:50 +0000 UTCjust want to say Happy Easter weekend! I only caught the last few minutes of this reaction, but it was fun lol! I've never seen this movie, shame on me lol! Robin Williams is great, it still hurts the fact that he's gone, but his legacy will continue to live on forever! Hook was the first movie I ever saw him in and how I became a fan! great reaction, hope you have a wonderful Easter tomorrow Cassie, a little update on my end, I finally got my car back! lesson learned when it comes to driving to always be careful and mindful on the road! much love and support and stay classy Cassie🥰😁😉👍

2023-04-08 18:21:06 +0000 UTCMrs. Doubtfire and Patch Adams are also great Robin Williams movies. I am still looking forward to For Love Of The Game baseball season is in full swing, pun intended, maybe Cassie and Carly could do a Kevin Cosner double header and watch Tin Cup also since Golf season is also in full swing.

2023-04-08 17:28:53 +0000 UTCI think this movie did a great job of showing how complicated this kind of conflict is. Sadly we have not learned the lesson as a country yet. We still try to get into as many of them as possible.

2023-04-08 17:27:02 +0000 UTCYes, hard to make this work, but Robin Williams did it.

2023-04-08 16:46:18 +0000 UTCRobin Williams was a gift to humanity which will never be repeated. The majority of his "on air" lines were improvised by Williams. Often a director would simply give him the start and end of a scene along with an idea "where" the narrative was going, and then just cut him loose. If there were multiple takes, often they would each be different. In my graduate program, I did a rhetorical analysis of "Mrs. Doubtfire." I read more about Mr. Williams than any human should ever have to. ;) In one interview, he was asked, "How do you come up with your stuff?" Mr. Williams answered, (paraphrased) You know that thing in your brain that keeps you from saying everything that pops up in it? . . . . Mine's broken.

2023-04-08 15:47:54 +0000 UTCYes please get to the True Story of Memphis Belle

2023-04-08 15:46:17 +0000 UTCwill never be able to decide on a favorite Robin Williams role…even though he won an Oscar still feel like he was underrated, may he RIP

2023-04-08 14:58:29 +0000 UTCDonna Reed played George's wife Mary in It's a Wonderful Life. Such a wonderful reaction. Your laughter lit me up.

2023-04-08 14:43:43 +0000 UTCDearest Cassie, first off, thank you SO much for giving a shoutout to McKenzie couple of nights ago. She’s visiting this weekend, saw you were live and grabbed my phone out of my hand. She flies to come see me. Short hop, Austin to Dallas Love Field. It’s about a 40 minute flight. She relates to it as “A one Cassie reaction flight.” She starts you on the ground and by the time you’re wrapping up, she’s landing. Do you not recall the same identical twins appeared in the second Terminator movie? One ‘killed’ the other in the ‘that’s for licking my face’ asylum.
