BIG FISH and Personality Clashes with guest Stephanie Goodman 

I'd die happy at least

Yeah i dont think they will ever find nemo

We'll get there :)

@@CinemaTherapyShow Lilo and Stitch?

Yesss!!😁❤️

I just saw dumbo, another good Tim Burton movie with Danny Devito as a ringmaster 💜

Lol, yep!

And they are RIGHT

@@Hello_Gorgeous Weather that movie is good or not is debatable, but Devito did amazing in it

I plan to see dumbo just for that reason, and the fact that Pink Elephants is going to have a Burton touch. I don't care if it's creepy or beautiful, or a bit of both, I wanna see it.

me too

Me three. 😢

Same here. I can understand the movie making me feel that way after being in contact with the characters for a couple hours, but this was just a clip and it had me fighting back tears...

wow I'm glad I'm not alone.

I was loudly sobbing as tears rolled over my face. I'm so happy I'm not the only one who experiences these deep emotions thanks to Big Fish (one of my favorite movies)

@Elizabeth Davies we always had a good connection. Had my "moment" with him near the end. He was at home in a hospital bed. I went in to get a chair for someone and turned around. He woke up and winked at me. We all also decided to have a no regrets philosophy. We were making the right decision by bringing him home.

I watched the movie at some point while it was still a "new rental" at the video store and it became an instant favourite of mine. Bought my own copy when it came out on DVD and everything. I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it since I lost my Dad to cancer. I hesitated even watching this analysis. And for good cause, I guess, as even these short clips had me crying. I can't even imagine sitting in public and watching this (and sobbing) while my Dad was in treatment.

@@princess20-sideddie95 again, luckily I was alone and it was dark. Also it was a matinee so it wasn't crowded. I don't think anyone in my family has been able to watch it.

@@princess20-sideddie95 I’m so sorry for your loss. It was my father’s and mine favorite movie. When he died it took me a few years but it was magical to watch it again.

@@natasha8007 I'm sorry for your loss, as well. It's been just over 6 years for me, and I'm sure I'll be able to watch it again someday, but it still hits a little too hard just yet for me to be able to watch it for now.

Damn, true

Reminds me of my father

Yes!!

Yes, this comment! Thank you for putting my feelings to words!

He doesn't look like a bad father, he just likes to tell stories instead of facts. I actually sympathize with him, because like for him, real life is very dull for me, so I generally make up stories to entertain myself and others. Now, I know these stories aren't completely true, but I never told a lie, something that would discredit others or put people against them, harmless stories and my grandfather did the same thing with me. He told me amazing stories about the war that probably contain a grain of truth, but are exaggerated for the sake of entertainment, and I don't really care what the truth was because his stories were so much better. For me, this movie shows how people care too much about facts at the wrong moment. His son probably became a journalist because he wanted to learn how to tell stories like his father, but he held a grudge because he's a fact-based thinker, maybe because he's not a succesful storyteller like his dad is too, so imo the problem lies with the son not being able to allow his father to live his dream world and engage with that, but at the same time his father does have a problem not being able to step out of his dream world and face his son's needs for facts. Their discussions are lost in translation, because what is real to the son does not mean the same what is real for his father, so when he tells him to "get real", he doesn't lie or acts arrogantly by responding he is real, and that he tells the truth. He doesn't think like a journalist, and doesn't understand the intention of his son's inquiries about the truth. He's a living fairytale, I find that amazing.

Same White Chocolate is forever in my memory.

*snort* 🤣

Lol 😂

Lmao!!

Oh wow, I never thought of that, but you're right! If Edward really is covering up insecurity, that also explains why he clings tooth and nail to his fantasy.

I think he was a narcissist who didn’t like people’s disapproval.

When forced to pick between the truth and the legend, print or tell the legend.

that’s exactly what i thought watching the movie too!

I haven’t seen this movie in 12 years and I watched it tonight and was crying so hard I was thinking to myself “I wonder why I cried when I watched this” and the last 10 minutes reminded me why

I 100% agree!!!

That hospital bed scene is so powerful.

I really like at his funeral where all the actual people come together. And how you say the son sees the truths that were tied into his fathers stories. That it really wasn't all lies. I really like the sons realization there. This is a really beautiful movie.

interesting, is the RU-vid channel name just The Channel? or is it not.a RU-vid channel?

@@raywilliams212 Yes it's a YT Channel, you can just search: The Meaning of NERD You should find it this way

@@MagaxstarThank you!

@@raywilliams212 My pleasure!

What about him spoke to you?

@@CinemaTherapyShow I felt the same: He was so willing to try new things, but also kept the things that were most important in mind. I think Michelle Obama's idea of "swerving" is a perfect description

when Edward is telling his stories to Will he wants him to see that the world can be anything you want it to be. life can be filled with color even when life is trying to rip you a part. also all he ever did was kind loving acts for others. he never judge people and was willing to help others regardless. i think a part of me unconsciously aspired to be like Edward because even in the end the people he helped came to mourn him and respect him , they truly cared for him. when i die i hope i have done enough good deed where others would do the same for me

I always related to Billy Crudup’s character. My dad is a storyteller and sometimes I just want to shake him and say “yeah, I’ve heard the story a million times, but what *really* happened?!” His stories usually have a nugget of truth, and I always wonder where the truth is.

Yes I would love an analysis on this one, it is one of my favorite movies ever!

Yes!!!!!!!

Yes! (…although I’m still mad that she lost her rabbit and got a dog 😒)

Are you 28? Coz I am almost 38 and that is not much of a difference 🤭😂

same, makes me cry everytime bc i can relate to the distant father, or feeling distant bc you're so different, and him being gone a lot working, but the end where they both validate each other is beautiful.

Musical is even better I think

Best of luck with your college career!

@@tinahawley320 thank you so much and also good luck too, you know in facing life and everything hehehe hope youre doing great

@Maria Isabelle Villacorte i havent decided on that yet maybe a school near me (Earist or CavSu)

You're English is actually really good

@@niameyers6686 thank you so much i hope that they will see my comment too i really want to send my gratitude towards them

It's sad that when truth is stranger than fiction, all the jaded people you tell your experiences to think you're making it up.

He feels like she's guilting him... perhaps because he thinks "She could have kept doing this if she hadn't had me." Maybe he feels bad about what it cost her to raise him. You could ask him. Perhaps he'll feel like talking about it. If your family is anything like mine, this sort of thing goes unsaid for decades when it could have been addressed in a single conversation.

@@AnonymousOnimous I completely get that thought of "they would have been better off without me" and "do they regret having me?" and it is definitely something that should be talked about. My mum had me 1 month after she turned 19 and before she got pregnant she'd been about to go back to school to get her GCSEs (British school qualifications you get when you leave at 16 and need to do a levels, go to university, and get certain jobs) and she had to give that up when she decided to keep me and then when I was a little older she became a hairdresser which she's wonderful at she's very talented and then when I was 7 I got sick and I was diagnosed with a rare chronic pain disorder and chronic fatigue syndrome and she had to stop working to take care of me and I often have this feeling of I derailed her life she'd be better off if I hadn't been born. Luckily in this case I'm autistic and have a tendancy to be blunt so I just outright said that to my grandma and later to my mum and my grandma told me about how before my mum got pregnant she was spiraling out of control and that in her opinion having me might have saved her life. My mum when I said it to her agreed with my grandma, told me having me was the best thing she ever did and the best decision she ever made. She told me having me gave her life purpose and that I was the bravest most amazing person she'd ever met. I still worry sometimes at the back of my mind but I'm so glad I didn't let that thought fester because it'd be so much worse and my self worth would have been so much worse.

Some people called it perfect casting because Albert Finney looked uncannily like Ewan McGregor in his prime.

Favorite movie of all time. I would love to see an analysis of it.

There is truth to this, and we have Lego plans in the future!

Yessss! My alma mater did a "Reel Conversations" event with the Lego Movie. There was a hilariously long and intense debate around the croissant in the wheel (in the cafe near the end). If something is created without an element of usefulness, is it valuable? 😂

I felt the same like why hasn't anyone watched it or talked about it

@@senajabeen1076 Yes!!! And don't let me try to explain it.... That's when I get the weird looks. Lol!😂

Yep, I’m with you two there... I adore the movie, but it seems to be rather unknown 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hopefully we can spread some awareness!

Me too 🥰❤️ Love this film

Omg yes! I love this film. Also recommended an anime movie called Wolf children which has relatable struggles for single parents

@@laytonpro8655 I think there is more anime movie like it, but I can not recall it. If we talk about series, there is really good series like “Attack on Titan”, “Monster”, “Bogiepop”, and more. But it will take longer, so they would prefer anime movies for their channel.

'Paprika' or even 'Tokyo Godfathers' by the same director (Satoshi Kon) would be great Japanese anime movies to analyse, I think.

Our pleasure!

Yes!! I love that movie so much

Another good one.

I really liked Anger Management for its explanations of the different types of anger and justified anger, etc It actually helped me a lot in real life with my own anger issues.

@@Wrathlon That's neat. Some people tend to bottle up their anger until they blow since acting out like that is frowned upon in "civilized society", especially when it comes to girls and women.

@@aleaanderson6600 Yeah because women have no need to be violent or angry. Its so weird. Those same people who are surprised girls get into fights and want to murder people, blame women because they can't be macho and crude in public without offending anyone. Its really weird. (sarcasm)Dude you can't say what you think and feel without being judged harshly... no woman has ever been through that. (/sarcasm) Literally some women won't admit they've been raped because they might lose their reputation and they'll be the ones harassed online or in the court of public opinion

@@elizabethlee2136 Basically we learn to expect violence from boys and men, but always act so surprised when ladies act the same. People like to say females are more stealthy when it comes to their anger, while males are often quick to throw punches and draw blood.

What was the movie?

@@justasmltwngir1732 The ending of a Korean movie called A Werewolf Boy

Happy birthday
