    Independence Day is one of my grandpa’s favorite movies. A couple of years ago (like 2010), I was at his house and it was on basic cable. He grabs the remote to turn up the volume and seriously asks me, “Have you ever seen this movie? Independence Day. It’s so good!” He passed at 104 years old like a few weeks ago. He was an ww2 veteran who fought in the battle for Hong Kong.

    Not only did they use huge miniature city models, they had to hang them UPSIDE DOWN so the rolling fireballs would hug the street and wrap around the buildings. Some very clever old-school techniques on display here.

      Nah, then they'd simply take the precaution of installing antivirus software before attacking.
      Of course, they would need a compelling reason to bother attacking. Except for a living biosphere, there isn't a single natural resource on Earth that isn't FAR more abundant elsewhere in the solar system, and not locked up at the bottom of our comparatively deep gravity well.
      ID4 aliens in particular, who want natural resources, just cruised right past all those other planets & asteroids & comets, where they could have found enough material & fuel to build multiple Dyson Swarms or literally a billion copies of their mothership. One has to wonder why they would even bother exterminating organisms inhabiting an insignificant little planet to begin with, when they could have simply started harvesting the rest of the solar system with total impunity.

He led by example which is what we were taught while serving. The way he cared about lives and trying to save the people. His speech was so amazing. I love this movie.

    1. i grew up in roswell, nm, and the 50th-anniversary festival happened a year after this movie was released. it 100% fueled the CHAOS that hit our town for the ufo festival. we were a town of 50k, and we'd maybe had a few thousand visitors in prior years; 1997 was estimated to have 20k visitors, with 10-15k of those during the week of the festival.
    2. in the early 80s, there was a comet or meteor or something that was projected to hit earth in our general location at the time (mexico). when i asked my mom what she/dad/we did, she said dad was working, so she took me outside to watch. she said if we're gonna go, we're gonna go instantly and with a view.

      DefCon 3 is " *holds up hands in attempt to calm everybody down* Everything is still pretty great .............................................................................................................. but we could soon be at war"

    • @Terminator484
      @Terminator484 Před 4 dny +1

      The US military (as a whole) has, at the time my writing this, never risen above DEFCON 3. Strategic Air Command (SAC) was briefly raised to DEFCON 2 during the Cuban Missile Crisis, but the rest of the military remained at DEFCON 3 during that incident.
      At DEFCON 3, the Air Force must be ready to mobilize in 15 minutes. At DEFCON 2, the entire Armed Forces must be ready to go to war within 6 hours. At DEFCON 1, nuclear war is imminent or has already begun, and the entire military must be ready for immediate response.

    This is my brithday movie. Every 4th of July since seeing this movie July 3rd in 96. I was a wee lad of 8 years when it hit theaters, i'm 36 now. I don't think you can do better than this when it comes to a good 90s blockbuster. I really don't think any of the other big ones of the 90s, with this kind of scale, come even close. It's got everything. Great story, score, characters. It has romance, action, drama, a couple scares, great dialogue.... Popcorn, baby. This is what cinema should be. You leave the theater with a smile on your face.

    On 09/11/2001, I plugged this movie in because I needed to see destruction I could stop at will. This was after watching hours of breaking news reports about the collapse of the Twin Towers, the attack on the Pentagon, and the fatal bravery of the passengers of UAL flight 93.
    I’m sure it seems like a bizarre thing to do, but it felt sorta cathartic and helped me keep it together. My brother spent a fair amount of time at the Pentagon at that time, and it was a while before I heard he was safe.
    Also, this movie is just plain awesome.

And the very first time that I saw this movie Independence Day was in the summer of 1996 with my Mom, my Stepdad and my Grandmother. And I was only 19 years old at the time I saw this movie Independence Day..

    First time I saw this was in the theaters with a friend. That scene where Harry Connick, Jr.,, tells Will Smith that he'll never fly the space shuttle as long as he's married to a stripper, my friend leaned over to me and said, "When you're married to a stripper, you fly the space shuttle every night." That still cracks me up to this day.

    There’s a great Independence Day video game where you play a fighter pilot fighting the alien fighters and you have to blow up the larger ships just like in the end of this movie. I wish it could be remade for today.

    I was in college when this movie was released and I kid you not, my entire class went to watch this. And being Singaporean and reserved as we are, the entire theater just burst with excitement during the President's speech and after the movie. It was wild. Oh boy, miss that experience.

    Your mentioning Earth uniting against an alien attack was explored in the early 60's in two outstanding Outer Limits episodes. The Architects of Fear (S1.E3) and Nightmare (S1.E10) featuring a very young Martin Sheen.

    • @scotthewitt258
      @scotthewitt258 Před 10 dny

      Architects of Fear was clearly an inspiration for the "threat" used to unite Earth in "Watchmen".
      The episode of"The Outer Limits " playing on Silk Spectre I's TV when Silk Spectre II and Nite Owl visit her at the end is Architects of Fear, as an homage.

  • @glennwelsh9784
    @glennwelsh9784 Před 10 dny +2

    In movies like this, the production will often seek out the cooperation and endorsement of the U.S. military for authenticity and approval, providing resources (like vehicles) to the production and jointly advertising the film during the marketing campaign. This is often a smart cost-cutting move, as it means less money that the production would have to spend on those things by themselves, and the military will often agree because it's also an opportunity to market themselves to the public for recruiting purposes, particularly if the movie makes them look good. However, the military refused their endorsement unless the plot was changed to remove all references to Area 51. But clearly, that would've meant altering a large chunk of the script because of how much of a vital role Area 51 plays in the later half of the movie including the climax, which just wasn't possible. So ultimately, the military declined to endorse the movie.

    Filming the speech scene was also weirdly synchronistic: It was shot in front of the hanger that once housed the Enola Gay, one of the bombers that dropped the atomic bombs on Japan on Aug. 6, 1945. The scene was filmed exactly 50 years later.
    "We will not go quietly into the night," seemed to be a reference to Dylan Thomas' classic poem "Do not go gentle into that good night". The poem was fully recited in Interstellar.
