Happy halloween nickflix👻🎃 love your reaction video❤ to the classic movie that is addams family and can't wait for the movie reaction for hocus pocus 2 maybe today or Tommorow❤😊👍
Yeah, Gordon was actually Fester. He was missing for 25 years due to his amnesia, and his “mother” did actually find him in the Bermuda Triangle. The lightning at the end restored his memories so he was living as Fester again and knew he wasn’t Gordon
yeah the movie drops a lot of hints that its actually Fester, like his knowledge of anatomy and wounds, his knowledge of how to dance the traditional dance that he definitely should not have known, the unusual trust Gomez shows in him, and the strange conversations he has with Morticia that seem like she knows something he might not know. The ending wasn't super clear because the "amnesia" thing had about 20 seconds of exposition to explain it, but if you pay close attention, there are lots of things in the film that prove that its truly a member of the Addams's family and not just "Gordon".
The Addams family aren't monsters. They are people who just like the darker side of life and see the world differently. They consider everyone else strange.
Actually, canonically, Morticia is a witch from a bloodline of monsters. Gomez is a human who married in to the family because he was just as crazy as them. That's why all of them can deal with such nonsense physically.
I love both the Addams and the Munsters!! the Addams have some "dark" enchantment-like privileges, but they're human and super supportive of family endeavors - it's really quite wholesome, and possibly the origin of modern emo culture. ;-)
I just watched a documentary on RU-vid discussing how the Addams family were the best family on TV at the time, comparing them to shows like Dick Van Dyke, Bewitched, and I Dream of Jeannie.
As everyone has pointed out, "Gordon" is indeed Fester. His "mother" found him in the Bermuda Triangle 25 years ago with amnesia. And the Addams are not monsters. (Starts singing) They're creepy and they're kookie, mysterious and spooky, they're all together ookie, The Addams Family (Du-du-du-duu *Snap snap*) Sorry. I couldn't resist. But there is a fan theory that I find interesting. A little something called The Addams Family Curse. Call what you will, a blessing or a curse, but according to the theory, anyone in the Addams Family cannot die by each others hand. As you saw, Wednesday tried to harm and kill Pugsley many times throughout the film, and he came out with barely a scratch. But when Gomez was battling Tully near the end, he got scratched by Tully's sword. They can harm each other and be completely fine, but when it comes to outside forces, then they have something to worry about.
The exact nature of the Addams's "powers" if there is such a thing, is a little vague but they're basically one big gag in which they exceed or defy our expectations of a "normal" family in every circumstance. What would kill a normal person, they survive. What would horrify a normal person, they find delightful. What would delight a normal person, they find repugnant. It's a wonderful way of showing how most families see themselves as outcasts among others simply because, as we live our lives, we don't live up to our own expectations. Well, the Addams's family DO live up to every single one of their own expectations. They're completely happy with their so-called flaws, which they regard as strengths and what we see as odd, they see as tradition, to be protected at all costs. I think they're a wonderful reflection of how immigrant families feel when they move into a new neighborhood in a new city or new nation. I think the Addams Family is the perfect, spooky "cartoon" of an American family, ancient traditions from somewhere else, a far-off land that they no longer have true connections to (other than relatives) that may alienate the neighbors because maybe they've grown just a little too comfortable being "American". Its the story of how to adapt to a new set of surroundings and still love yourselves in the process.
Seemed like such a nice guy, too. When kids would recognize him as Gomez, he would immediately go into character because it brought him and them so much joy.
@@nickmanzo8459 Sounds just like Gene Wilder. Every time a child would recognize him as Willy Wonka he would immediately go into character because he loved it and loved making children so happy.
Happy Halloween! Yep, what they were saying at the end was the truth, Gordon really was Fester, he was found in the Bermuda Triangle with amnesia. He had a few flashes of his former self as he spent more time with the Addams' (Knowing the Mamushka dance so well) and then the lightening strike to the head gave him back his full memories.
Upon rewatch, if you pay close attention to certain scenes, such as the dance and other knowledge, Festor has, it becomes clear that he is the real Festor, well, somethings about. This isn’t obvious at first, after a rewatch, paying close attention to his behaviour and knowledge, it becomes obvious at the end.
So basically, Gordon actually is Fester As stated, he was found by "mother", but he had gotten amnesia The lightning from the Hurricane Irene book shocked his brain to remember Also for the sequel, you can technically watch it in November as it takes place around there and Thanksgiving
What I love about the Addams family is that to them they’re the norm and others are odd to the point that they just assume most “normal” people see the world the way they do. The tv series is better at showing this. Also Gomez’s clothes sometimes smoke because he puts his lit cigars in his pockets and was a somewhat dangerous stunt in the tv series where the pockets were lined with asbestos so that the actor could actually place lit cigars in his pockets. The Addams Family isn’t really a Halloween movie so I hope you don’t wait until next year to watch the sequel.
Probably one of my favorite parts of this movie is when Gomez brings Fester to the vault for the first time. You can see that the main area is dedicated to family history and the things the Addamses really cherish. While the money is there, it's hidden behind the brandy and there's only enough time to grab what is needed before it turns back around.
@@a.g.demada5263 A lot of it is inheritance, but Gomez actually has a lot of investments and businesses (even if they hardly touch on it in the movies). Lots of stocks and bonds, too.
I think the writers realized Wednesday got the biggest response from the audience because in the sequel, her role was beefed up quite a bit... and not one person complained about it.
My favorite part has always been when thing is frantically trying to communicate to Gomez, and ends up going for the spoon and spilling the cereal everywhere.
Okay so a little bit of history is the characters started as one panel comics and then a black and white tv series and they have always been macabe and are not monsters, but rather see beauty in the dark, disturbing, and dead everything normal people would be creeped out by and the actress of Wednesday (Christina Ricci) would go on to be Kat in Casper. Also yes that is actually Fester he just had amnesia and I think the sequel is even better.
One of the big things in the TV show was all the "normal" people finding them very strange or being scared but the Addamses were always oblivious to the fact they they were different from anyone else.
Fantastic movie, the casting was just so spot on for all of the adams. Christopher Lloyd as Fester is fantastic and almost indistinguishable to say his Doc Brown from back to the future. The second one "Adams Family Values" is also good fun and I think would scratch your itch to see them in a normal situation being The Adams! maybe not quite as fun as this one but close! Gordon IS fester, when the mother is yelling at him she actually tells him that she found him, when he is struck by lightning he gets his memory back and reveals she found him in a fishing net 25 years ago with amnesia
Nick, remember the Addams Family are the humorous embodiments of the macabre, the sacrilege, and the strange - just like Halloween is a day to celebrate those things. And the Addams Family aren't monsters (except for Lurch, the Butler). They're definitely witchy, but they're not monsters.
Lurch isn't a monster. I don't understand how you got that idea, especially when in the original series it's based on we even meet Lurch's mother at some point, who is a completely normal woman and he talked about how his father wanted him to get big in sports instead of being a butler. He is also partly related to the Addams by blood on his fathers side, so if you consider him a monster you'd have to consider the Addams family that too by the same logic
I'm so glad to see you enjoying this one - it's special in a... positively disturbing sort of way. Another similarly odd, slightly more modern, but unconnected movie I think you might enjoy is Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events w Jim Carey as the oddball uncle character. Happy Halloween, Nick!
You might remember Wednesday's actor from Casper, which you watched last year, playing the young Kat Harvey. I knew her first from Addams Family, and next from Casper, and she later co-starred in Sleepy Hollow, among many other roles and voice-work. She was brilliantly cast here in Addams Family, taking to the 'creepy' vibe extraordinarily well.
“Gordon” was really Fester. They explained that Fester had amnesia and his “mother” was taking advantage of him. The lightning brought back his memory.
Yes he was the brother the original idea was he was pretending and the family loved him so much they let him stay but the child actors were so mad at that they told them it was a bad idea so they changed it to his time in the triangle gave him amnesia.
I think you missed where Fester's "mom" said she should have left him where she found him near the end. So yes that explanation at the end explains that he was actually Fester.
They aren't monsters lol They're just really freakin weird 🤣 My kinda folks. These 2 are some of my fave films since childhood. Classic. Happy Halloween everybody 💚🎃👻💀🖤
I’m so curious, will you be saving the sequel for Thanksgiving? I think it’d be really fun if you do, I don’t want to give too much away if you haven’t already filmed the episode lmao
The Addams Family began as a series of single panel cartoons in the New Yorker in the 1930s. Basically, the idea was to show a sort’ve undercurrent of weirdness in the world.
I didn't realize it until recently, but this movie's prologue (with the Christmas carollers) is a recreation of the very first Addams Family single panel cartoon published in *The New Yorker.*
I watched the 90's movies, the animated series and the old black & white version all the time growing up. I already love anything spooky and "goth" plus they're hilarious and genuinely love each other. The sequel is even better! It actually fits with Thanksgiving so you could definitely still react to it for November. Happy Halloween! 🎃🦇💀🐈⬛👻🕷🕸🖤🧡
He is the real brother, He lost his memory. That's why she said "i should have left you where I found you" she didn't actually give birth to him. The lightning gave his memory back.
You missed a few small hints, when she was yelling at "Gordon" she said I should have left you where I found you. And yes She really did find him with Amnesia, and used him as a Tuff in her collection racket eventually making him think she was his actually mother.
The Addams is a family who will accept and love you no matter how strange or weird you might be. Even if what you like seems strange to them they won't judge or hold it against you.
Hahaha so the Addams Family was originally a comic strip series, and turned into a TV show in the 1960s or so. It was watered down to match content standards in that time. This movie is a bit closer to the original comic series. The moral you're supposed to come away with is the Addams Family might be scary and different, but they also let you be different if you want to be, and applaud irregularity.
The reason Morticia (or even Wednesday) doesn’t just expose him, in my opinion, has to do with something interesting about the Addams family. They are very accepting of anyone, really. Being a part of the Addams con has less to do with blood or marriage, and more to do with embracing the family and embodying the family spirit. In the 60’s show there was even a bit about how apparently Gomez and Morticia each thought grandmama was the other’s mother, and when they realised she wasn’t they just went on with it like nothing happened. So in that rationale, even if this isn’t really Fester, he clearly needs and wants this family, so she wouldn’t turn him away.
Ok I have to say this and please don’t take it the wrong way, but your reaction is just adorkable! ❤ I know the Addams Family is not everyone’s cup of tea and most don’t vibe with their ‘peculiar lifestyle’ but they grow on you. And your face at anything ‘mature’ is just hilarious. It’s why I love your reactions so much.
It's wonderful to see how much fun you were having all through this movie. It's based on a series of comics that started all the way back in 1938, but really became popular with the 1960's TV show.
Hey Nick, here is some other films I think you could react to : - The Chronicles of Narnia - Interstellar - Zootopia - Harry Potter - Rio 1 and 2 - Star Wars 7, 8 and 9
You already got your clear answer. You clearly were not paying attention to the ending. Fester was struck by lightning by the hurricane from the book he opened and that woke him up after 25 years or so. Fester's fake mother admitted to him that she should have left him where she found him. That proves that he's not really her son, and it turns out he really was Fester all along. He got amnesia from the Bermuda Triangle and someone else found and raised him to be Gordon without knowing his true identity. It's all just a universal coincidence I know but remember and ask yourself this question: How was he able to adjust to The Addams and bond with them so much he gets homesick even when he took their mansion, or more importantly How Did He Know The Mamushka Dance??? They never prepared him or practiced this dance? It's a sacred Addams Ritual, he would have known the Mamushka Dance if he was not an Addams.
Apparently, the original idea for the movie was that they never find the real Uncle Fester and they just take in the impostor as if he were. But, that was changed due to people apparently not liking that idea. So, the "impostor" is just the real Fester but with amnesia.
Why do you insist on calling them "monsters" - they look at things differently than others do. To them a cloudy rainy day is wonderful while a bright sunny day is not
Addams Family Values is actually more of a thanksgiving movie. It would be great if none of us had to wait a year *hint-hint* But back to your reaction, your reactions are always so genuine.
The way to enjoy the Addams family is not take it seriously at all. Just apply the logic that anything that other people outside the family seem as strange, creepy and weird they see as normal and with every thing that happens in a family they go a step further. The irony is that despite being thought of as weird and abnormal, Morticia and Gomez are actually considered the ideal couple, two people who still desperately desire each other even after 15+ years and two ( soon to be three children). The director was originally going to end the movie unclear whether Fester was an imposter or really him but the cast strongly felt that it needed clarification and also Fester is a integral part of the franchise and the original comic strip and tv show so they made it that Fester had amnesia.

Gordon was NOT Fester in the original script. But the rest of the cast loved Christopher Lloyd so much that they asked the script be changed to make him the real Fester after all. So the explanation at the end works, but comes so late that it remains a little confusing. Letting the audience in on it earlier probably would have helped, if they had come up with some device or other that showed us that he couldn't be anybody but the real Fester.
"The Grand High Witch as I would call her anyway"............................................................................ Oh Nick, you apparently have NOOOO idea how accurate that descriptor for Morticia (or actually the actress playing her A.H.) really is!!! 🧙♀️👹 LOLLLL
I noticed the description on the monster house video that you were reacting to the Adams family but didn't click it was this version (assumed the new one) absolutely adore this movie 😁 seen it and the sequel countless times Love all your reactions as always and Happy Halloween to all 😊
This movie is a classic the sequel is even better than the first one. Really glad you got to see this movie finally and the sequel you should not wait a year for.
Now you need to watch the music video Addams Groove by MC Hammer There several movies that had music videos for them, The Wild West and Men In Black both sung by Will Smith since there Will Smith movies And Free Willy had a music video sung by Micheal Jackson
The sequel, "The Addams Family Values" has a tie-in to Thanksgiving. If you just can't wait to watch it, maybe you could do a Thanksgiving release date. I think that the sequel is just as good as the original, and has a few quirky, new surprises that I think you'll enjoy.
The beauty of the Addams family is that,as odd and weird as they may be, they’re at their core a truly loving, well-functioning family. They are the white picket fence dream wrapped up in spooky. This is one of the few franchises where the sequel is as good as, if not better, than the original film.
Nah. Gordon was Fester all along. He lost his memories in the Bermuda Triangle and was found by the doctor, who took him in as her 'child'. That's why throughout the movie, you notice how...naturally Gordon starts to integrate with the Family. How he had the same love for explosives, poisons, bloodshed, etc. How he somehow knew the moves and words to the Mumushka dance by the end of it. Because even without memories, deep down he's an Addams true and true.
One of the little things not many people notice, but I LOVED.. in the hotel room when Morticia is telling the kids about the tortiose and the hare, Wednesday is eating a bowl of cereal, and makes a face like "what the hell is this shit I'm eating?"
