CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Simon (Greg Kinnear) tells a story about his father to Carol (Helen Hunt), while Melvin (Jack Nicholson) tries to convince them that some people had happy childhoods.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
James L. Brooks (Terms of Endearment, Broadcast News) directed this $50 million-plus romantic comedy, set in Manhattan. Dysfunctional, acid-tongued romance novelist Melvin Udall (Jack Nicholson), who suffers from an obsessive-compulsive disorder, takes pride in his ability to offend. At a nearby cafe, the only waitress willing to stand up to his sarcastic tirades is Carol Connelly (Helen Hunt), a single mother struggling to raise her chronically asthmatic son. In Melvin's West Village apartment building, talented contemporary artist Simon Nye (Greg Kinnear) lives across the hall from Melvin. Simon is the current darling of the New York art world, reason enough to draw Melvin's verbal fire, but Simon's gay lifestyle is further grist for the novelist's malicious mill. These three New Yorkers, none of whom appears to have a chance in hell at finding true happiness, discover their fates intertwined because of the fourth complicated character in the piece, Verdell, a tiny Brussels Griffon dog (played by newcomer Jill, after a 15-week training program). Melvin seems to have no friends or family, and he lives alone, working on his 62nd book. When Simon goes into the hospital after a brutal mugging, Melvin has to take care of Verdell, and the dog actually warms Melvin's cold heart -- to the degree that he sets up unsolicited medical care for Carol's son. Eventually, Melvin is cornered into driving Simon and Carol to Baltimore, and during a hotel stopover, Melvin confesses to Carol, "You make me want to be a better man." The trip becomes an odyssey of self-realization for all three. Locations included Brooklyn's Prospect Park (Carol's neighborhood) and Greenwich Village (where Melvin's building is on 12th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues). Other exteriors were shot in downtown Los Angeles, where a dilapidated transient hotel at the corner of 4th Street and Main was transformed into the chic cafe where Carol works. Sets for the Simon/Melvin apartment interiors were erected on a soundstage at the Sony Pictures lot. Simon's paintings were created for the film by New York artist Billy Sullivan, whose work is part of the modern art collection at NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art and the New Orleans Museum of Art.

Jack Nicholson. 0:06 One flip of an eyebrow and the shades go on.
How epic is this guy?
I thought I was the only one who noticed that--wanna start a club?
Pfft, I do that shit all the time...
Everybody noticed it.
Mikael Ulibarri he is the coolest, best actor ever!
EPIC
"It's not true. Some of us have great stories, pretty stories that take place at lakes, with boats and friends, and noodle salad. Just...no one in this car." lol
Great line 😆
I think that’s most people’s lives. I mean the “no one in this car” 😆 But there ARE some, he is right. Hahaha
One of my favorite scenes... so much truth being spilled on this scene
@That Girl great scene...
😆
I laughed so hard at Jack's character when I saw this at the theater when I was 17....I didn't realize at the time, that I would turn into him eventually.
if he wasn’t acting the world would be a better place,we don’t need them
@@bidensucsbigdickskalmadrin6877 he’s the greatest actor of all time.
It does happen.
Jack would be a lot more fun at a picnic .
Happened to me as well.
I hope that everyone appreciates how great an actress Helen Hunt is.
I do. Great work
Her face puts me to sleep.
@@therealwilfreddierkes9980 what a gift she has.
Sure, but there is a guy named Jack Nicholson in the back seat of the car, he doesn't need to talk, his body langage alone is above everything, masterclass !!!
Huge Helen Hun's fan here though.
She won an oscar for it. 🎉
0:07 Jack Nicholson deserved the Oscar just for this 😂😂
He Actually Received An Academy Award For This Movie. (Best Actor)😃😃😃
You know he win the Oscar right
He knows he won. The original comment is making a joke that this one action is the reason he won the Oscar. Therefore, he already knows he won it, so what are the point of these replies.
"good times, noodle salad"
I agree with him. It bugs me that other people have it better. Not because I prefer more people to suffer, but because it reminds me of what it could have been and isn't. 🥺
But that's the subtext that's played here. They know it is true to some extent. They say no but their body language and defensive delivery gives it away.
I think Jack’s statement was spot on. Lots of people I meet didn’t have any traumatic upbringing or scenarios in their childhood/adolescence. For lots of people life was just good
or they managed to absorb their trauma instead of making it an excuse to fail for the rest of their lives.
@@ratholin what an ignorant comment... You're saying that is a matter of resilience, that everyone has had the exact same form of experience, uh? No difference if you grow up in a country in war vs a country in peace time? No difference if you grow up in an abusive household vs a family with caring parents? No difference if you have a house or if you haven't?
Life isn't the same for everyone. And I am sorry that you feel this way because it makes me think you might have absorbed a lot of trauma and you are holding it in... but it's not fair that you blame other people like the one who made the comment or myself, who can't overcome our traumatic experiences because they're is just too much.
I'm sorry, I usually don't engage in this kind of conversations, but your comment was a good excuse for me to vent, since I am fighting against that precise introjection that our society has incepted in all of us. In case you don't know, it's called ableism.
sure some of us dont have traumatic experiences, but most certainly life is not always just happy and "noodle salad"
@@LluviaSelenita no one said that
@@TheHexeract they kinda did, yeah, read the comment I was responding to. It's ableist to say that people "use trauma as an excuse", or to imply that people who can't overcome their trauma are failures.
Man. These supposedly sensitive and caring characters can't seem to understand the guy in the backseat is screaming in pain the only way he knows how. He doesn't cry and he doesn't tell sappy stories but he went through the same horror of an abusive father the other fella went through and nobody gives a damn. Really realistic writing and good acting all around.
Well said.
Always thought that.
Well, Carol and Simón consider Melvin a piece of crap, that why they didnt care.
Bitter experience has led me to conclude that a man who displays his vulnerbilities is regarded as weak and a man who doesnt is called insensitive. Those who are first to proclaim their compassion should be the last to be trusted. Redemption and consolation often comes from the corner where it is least expected and from the person who was least throught to be a friend, not because of who we are or because of our hurt or our need but because of who they are and that they cannot live without doing the right thing, simply because its right.
The guy in the backseat locked his feelings up. It is the hearing of the stories that starts opening his heart to the realization that other people are suffering too! Thought I would try to help you understand the context of the movie.
Every passing year I’m becoming more and more Melvin.
Jack's jealous body language as he watches Helen tap kiss Greg is so good.
And the little ONWARD hand gesture he does at the end...punctuated the moment
He's like, how dare you?
3 people in different stages of grief.
One of my favorite movies of all time.
"What makes it so hard is not that you had it bad, but you're that pissed that so many others had it good."
Gospel right there.
Aged well with the creation of social media lol
Amen
o yeah. Same here!
Absolute Bravo!!!💯👏🏿👏🏿
@@husseinandout3867 I had this problem as a teenager, long before social media, growing up as an ugly little runt, while my best friend was being offered modeling contracts and drowning in female attention. I know that being envious is a flaw in my character, but everything that I tried to do to find some other kind of happiness in life has always been out of reach, and I just don't know how to cope with having absolutely nothing that I wanted in life.
Greg Kinnear should have won an Oscar for this
no, Robin Williams beat him to it.
@@sumanabhattacharjee2119Tough competition that year
bangerang.
This film is an absolute masterpiece
One of my all time favs
this is nearly a perfect movie, I agree.
The only blemish here is the obvious lack of sexual chemistry between Nicholson and Hunt.
not really
Lakes Boats, friends and noddel salad, just no one in this car 😄💀
Everyone always talks about Jack and Helen's performance but I think Greg kinnear gets over shadowed, Jack and Helen each earned their Oscar's but Greg always seems to be forgotten.
He held his own in this film.
Absolutely. He is an amazing actor. Possibly in my top 5 along with Nicholson.
I just LOVE Jack Nicholson!
This has to be one of my favorite scenes in all of movie history. Ha!
me to
All of movie history?
@@cristianhcm1914 Right!!!😂😂😂
Kinnear is pretty amazing and unexpected in this picture. Superior performance.
"....................just no one in this car............"
lololololol my fave part 😂
I made pasta salad this weekend and my boyfriend called it noodle salad. I knew I had heard that somewhere and thought it was Jack. So I googled Jack Nicholson and noodle salad. Proved to my BF I wasn't crazy.
Plot twist: Your boyfriend is actually a mannequin.
Great your bf has u as gf
"you're piss not because you had it bad, but because there are many that had it good" He is right about that.
Another wad of sweaty money out of his hand lmao
Best scene ever with the most clever dialogue...good times and noodle salad!
Every once in a while someone will say something so simple and true that will save someone years of therapy. Good job Jack!
That's the point of life good times noodle salad live simple the key to life
That’s what I want on my headstone:
Good times, noodle salad.
It took me years to realize that Jack's character was abused by his father as well and this was his way of dealing with it.
People who were abused often perpetuate the cycle against others.
Often, but not always. It depends on the person and how they deal with it. Becoming mean and abusive oneself is obviously an unhealthy way to deal with it. But Jack's character grows over the course of the story, and it shows that someone can break that cycle if they work on healthier ways as adults to process what happened to them as kids.
Where in the movie does Melvin indicate abuse?
@@GoodmanMIke59 probably when he mentions that "his father used to hit him in the hands with a yardstick, everytime he messed up playing the piano"... not in this specific clip, but in the scene altogether...
@@jcmat9917 that hardly ranks up there with being beaten to a pulp....
@@jcmat9917 lol...that is why the others couldn't take him seriously. Because his most traumatic experience is being hit when making a mistake in the piano. Melvin was not abused at all.
love it when jack drops the glasses.
Best line from any movie I have ever seen. He nails it.
iconic scene
"Anyone who's interested in what Melvin has to say, raise your hand!"
The final line in this clip is brilliant. 🤣
I like it to its funny
Every line, vocal tone, mannerisms, body language, gestures from every body part , pulls of emotions, silences is why he is one of the best, if not the best actor.
I would go with Tracey....
Ask Angelica!
What I like is how mean he seems yet how observant he is of every word.
1:26 Truer words were never spoken
I really love this scene. The others get the pain and he knows they feel the same pain of trauma he feels, but they don't want to admit it and Melvin has developed to the point where he can say it rather than obscuring his true emotions.
The dialogue in this movie is brilliant. Jack's delivery, of course, is necessary to wring out all of the greatness. My other favorite is, "how do you write women so well?" "I think of a man and take away reason and accountability"
the thing is Jack's character isn't too far from who he really is
How do you know?
@@JimmyFranceable he doesn't
But to be to able to hone that using a rigid script takes talent.
Omg Jack is my obsession
In this movie, particularly in the entire road trip sequence, mine too.
Ha ha, Jack has got his number. That is one of the worst places to be. In the company of someone who no matter what you say and others may think of you, there is that one person who can see right through you to the point of you hating them because you know they are right.
Nicholson is brilliant in this
"Just no one in this car" - Lol
Man Jack Nicholson is an amazing actor, you cand see that he is moved and hurt about what happened to Simon and can barely keep it together. You can see and feel that he has his own luggages of pain to carry, but he acts different in compare to Simon, in truth deep down they are the same and you can see their characters development towards the end of the movie when they start to grow on each other. Amazing movie !
Nicholson. The best. What a face.
Boats and friends and noodle salad.
😅
He right though😄
My dad and I love quoting Jack's line about "good times, noodle salad", though my dad admits that I do a much better impression of Jack than he does.
Fact was he was telling them the truth and they knew but are too self righteous to admit it. Lol
I often quote this line when someone says 'Good times'
It just falls out right?
Seriously, Nicholson could read the friggin' alphabet and make it sound cool.
I forget how much I love this movie!
My father gave me a big sweaty bowl of noodle salad.
I LOVE GREG KINNEAR
you're that pissed that so many others had it good.... :o
He is 101% right
Jack's eyes, oh boy. ❤️👍
I live my life by that quote......... i love noodle salad and sweaty money you cant any better then that
Greg should’ve got the best supporting actor Oscar
I love this bit!
No one in this car 😂
I heard that Jack Nicholson and Bryan Robson are best friends.
The older I get, the more I understand the message behind this scene
If you pause it at 0.28 his eyebrows and his laugh lines form a perfect letter X across his face
It's not about being pissed at other people. I just hate it when happy people complain about problems when many others have it much worse.
Good times,noodle salad
I’m the one in the back of the car!!!
'Pissed that so many others had it good' 😂😅
It's ironic that Jack's character ALSO has had a fairly unhappy past as well....
+colderbeer
Both have deep childhood wounds caused by their father yet Carol shows sympathy for Simon and disdain for
Melvin.
It's not, he's just stating that it's the past and you move on and just try to have food times and remember those times instead.
I might be mistaken but Here I go: During Jack's noodle monologue, for a brief moment Helen hunt believes him and she knows that there is some true in his words, but being who she is, she doesn't want to accepted therefore she denied.
Her smile while telling "I don't think so" is to forced.
Yeah you're right. Both Hunt and Kinnear played it as though they knew it was true and their denial of it at the end of the scene is half-assed on purpose.
" Lakes, Boats, And Friends & Noodle Salad!!! LOL 🤣🤣🤣 This Is Something Extremely Extraordinary". (Only Mr. Jack Nicholson)😂😂😂
This Movie Is Quite Sesnseful, Charming And Compelling!!!♥️
As I write this, I am sitting here eating noodle salad while offshore in my sailboat.
I am having a GREAT time right now and very happy you're all pissed that I'm having it good...
I am happy for you, stay well. Never, ever envious.
not it at all...
Life changes for everyone!
+Lindsey Burns and good times noodle salad!
Jeffrey Ingraham
I am down for some noodle salad.
IMO this is complimentary to the "You can do your homework IN THE BOAT!" scene from The Breakfast Club
Sums me up pretty well
JACK IS THE BEST
Carol! all u do is make me feel bad about myself! 😠 Melvin talking to his doctor in the office.......HELP! 😊👍💜
Love this scene so sad
He tells the truth..but you can't handle the truth!!
Does anyone else consider what Simon's mom did as a form of grooming and abuse?
100%.
Good times and noodle salad lol
What makes it so hard is not that you had it bad but that you’re that pissed that so many had it good
Envy is one of the deadliest sins.
What makes it actually bad is we expect too much from people who we call close to us, that's what leads to a father abusing his son. A wife leaving her husband. It's like a disease, we want everything to be perfect and when it's not we see the noodle salad crowd and get pissed. Truth is the noodle salad crowd accept how things are, that's what keeps their minds free to enjoy life.
Wow. That makes a lot of sense. I have always said myself, that the key to happiness is lowering your expectations.
BS
*GOOD TIIIMES,* -noodle salad.
Is it just me, or was Melvin so right?
he was right.
He was right.
It's not just you. It's the intent of the scene. They disagree with him outloud but look at their defensive body language and delivery. They knew it was in part true.
The definition of Based.
Every time my wife and I exchange cash …we say, here’s a sweaty wad.
This movie and the departed were his last two great movies
2:02 ouch
They don't know Jac.. but Jac knows them..lol I like Jack 👍. I like this sceen his best work real life...
Jack is one of the best actors ever.
The fact that his idea of good memories is of something as generic and cliched as "lakes and boats" is really telling. That man has not had a good time in a very long time lol
Victim versus survivor mentality.
picnics and noodle salad-not that you had it so bad - just others had it good--noodle salad and picnics
Love this clip jack is the master! Boats lakes noodle salad haha
so true melvin was right about everything
so ahead of his time
Anger management before it was made
Anybody knows what model of glasses is he wearing?
No. But just a guess...they kind of look like they could be RayBans? They are a classic style.
Better a sweaty wad of money than zero money?
me too.
Quite a story
