What is it about the Zamboni guy that we like so much? We don't know anything about this guy, yet we still feel emotion when we see him at the end, looking sad at the end of it. It's pretty impressive when a movie can make you feel sorry for a guy you know nothing about. All we can do is speculate and assume he lost someone he loved at some point.
So here's the weird thing. I pretty much dislike Adam Sandler movies (except maybe for The Wedding Singer), but I think this scene may be one of the all time great love scenes ever filmed in any movie. Especially the way she gives in even after making the shot and the way the Zamboni driver sings. If you can't feel something watching this, you might be dead.
He doesn't even give a reason why, like it's a special puck given to him by someone or that it's his lucky puck. He just carries it for the sake of carrying it. xD
there was a time when Sandler's heart was young and pure....a precocious young man, he had a vision....and that vision was to make simple honest and stupid humor, with some genuine romance in there as well. then...he got old. "I'm sorry, I used to be much stronger."
It's all about the zamboni driver. The way he lowers his head down at the end feels so scincere... I hope he knows he's the main reason people come back to this scene.
I've been watching modern family and knew Claire looked familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it. Took me watching two seasons to finally realize she's virginia from happy gilmore.
Anyone else feel like that janitor had little more goin on in this then they indeed to be more of..just the way he sung and slowly looked down with a small sigh..I felt that my man, I know...I know...endless love never ends for some, even when one of them is gone maybe
I can't decide which is the better line from this clip. "I didn't break it, I was testing its durability." or "What? Friends listen to _Endless Love_ in the dark."
@@JaFeelMeBro uh bro she aged 20 years. Lefs see you after that. I personally think she looks better now. Funny no one talks about adams looks but all his leading ladies get critiqued on their looks. Gotta love misogyny
@@AM-gt1yt Well because the pool of women who could fill the roles in Sandler movies are pretty large. Thousands of women that could do just as good of a job as her in this so really the obvious variable is the woman's appearance and the advantage goes to the women who are more attractive. Pretty obvious that's the case. Obviously some people are misogynistic and very critical of women's appearance but often women will feed into that by objectifying themselves. Example is all these tik tok videos being made of women doing something while wearing tight revealing clothing. 95% of the motive to try to look hot in front of a camera to get views and receive enforcement that they are hot/cute, etc. (ex. Tons of videos of girls showing their "golf swing" off wearing clothes that wouldn't exactly qualify as golf attire, haha. Maximum tightness and/or minimal amount of clothing as possible. RU-vid is littered with those clips, haha. And these women know exactly what they're doing. So not sure why you're whipping out the misogyny card regarding Adam Sandler movies.. I think you've been watching too much MSNBC (which is just trash along with all other msm both liberal and conservative. But yeah, chill out with the victim PC shit. Only use the misogyny card when it's actually about something causing women noticeable inequality. Models are selected based on their appearance and they get critiqued. Is the existence of models misogynistic?
someone in my family while watching this with me made the comment as the janitor sung "that is you" never got why that was me but i always remember that...
Kind sound like my grandma die my mom brother put my aunt in nursing home, I only saw her once and later she die. Was so sad. One greatest classic film movie. Thank You. Truth is was my grandma sister. Took good care of her family back old days. Living on farm.
The ultimate movie of Adam Sandler. I love that movie for everything (music, humor, picture...). The grand mother that say I want you to be happy! Wow! Touching! :D
Here is the thing about Adam's movies, he always managed to somehow make you go through every emotion starting with laughter through some type of intro character development. Then he introduces the problem with said character which allows people to empathize. He still keeps bits that are funny while transitioning into the character's journey to overcome their issue. Then comes the potential love interest and I always admire how he always chose beautiful actresses for that role. Throughout the movies, he would keep you entertained with hilariously ridiculous scenes and dialogue, but in this movie, Sandler hits you a few times with these bits of emotion that you just can't help but immerse into. This skating scene along with the last vision of his happy place when Chubbs sings really make this movie stand out from some of his others. Happy Gilmore is a true classic.
My great Anut's name is Virginia but my dad and the rest his family they called her anut Jean but I have not meet her she passed away last night year at the age of 94 she would have been 95 right now
I don't see what's funny about the Zamboni guy. It's clear that the song moved him to remember a long lost love. It's a beautiful scene that shows the contrast of life: love blossoms and at the same time, love dies and is forever remembered. That's one interpretation.
Its funny because the scene obviously centers around Bowen and Sandler's date, and the audience doesn't expect the Zamboni guy to appear at the end of the scene singing the song passionately in the background.
