"You've gotten yourself so caught up in the sugar business you've forgotten the taste of real honey" what a line!!
Brilliant 👏
Yes, an amazing line, perfect for the great, Mr. Al Pacino.
One among many; well written film
freaky ass line but i like it
Thanks 😉😆😆😆😆
The “hoo-ah”s seem to get softer the more Randy insults Frank. Nice touch.
Michael Lamere•
Frank is keeping a rolling tally.
As the beast is fed,
the volume seeks
refuge FROM the beast! 💥Boom
WIND PIPE!!!
Yeah that was when he nearly lost it but he chose to stay in character. He probably get used to it every time he come over. But when he insult his buddy there it's like there's no going back lol great writing here
everytime he says hoo - ah his feelings got hurt
@@mrboy9786 😁 yes..
Way to point out the obvious
Randy: Verbally abuses and insults Frank
Frank: Hoo-ah
Also Randy: Calls Charlie "Chuckie"
Frank: And I took that personally
That’s because he doesn’t want to admit to Randy that he had got to him with his insults; he uses the Chuckie thing as an excuse to be able to kick his ass
@@rkr6237 yeah he was pretty damn angry but he established the limits before by warning once. I'm pretty sure he was happy that the dude crossed the limits but doesn't change what actually happen
@@rkr6237 yeah..he did set the boundaries, and warned him not to call him Chucky. Early on, Charles said he doesn't mind Charles or Charlie, but doesn't like being called Chuck or Chucky. Im sure tho that he knew Randy would cross the line and give him the excuse he was looking for. But notice how he ONLY established those boundaries with Charles, and only attacked Randy when he continued to call him Chucky. He took the verb lambasting from Randy without making threats, or even really returning fire with his own insults. He pretty much even agreed with him. Frank is aware of his own faults and character defects, and knew that Randy was speaking true about him. Deep down, theres definitely some self hate there, and he may have even felt that he deserved what Randy was dishing out. But he wasn't going to let him disrespect Charles, who hadn't necessarily done anything wrong to deserve it, and had only ever been a friend to Frank.
But you are correct..Frank was looking for an excuse to attack Randy. Fuck Randy tho lol.
@@mattjack3983 Nice summary. I like how when the actress that plays Gale says "Frank for God's sake" laughs a little bit betraying the fact that what Frank say's about her husband "forgetting the taste of real honey" is probably true. Nice acting on her part.
@@jowhit226 yeah, I always noticed how the actresses voice changed when she said “Frank, for God sakes.” What Frank said was true, but she was embarrassed that he said it out loud.
“Maybe God thinks some people don’t deserve to see”
That’s the line that got him. Went to his soul, he could barely say hoohaaaa.
Great acting
Nah, it was him calling Charles "Chucky"
Such an especially cruel sentiment coming from that milk toast mouth was deeply galling, yet disturbingly relatable.
You are just like Randy, man.
Randy had it coming, that's more than I can say for his wife......HOOHAH!
@@Kruppt808 ...he'd forgotten the taste of real honeyyy!
Take note: Frank suffers all the abuse that Randy hurls at him, and even agrees with him. Frank only attacks Randy when he disrespects Charlie. Charlie didn't do anything to deserve it, and never does anything in the movie to deserve bad treatment (such as being expelled), while almost everything Frank does up until the final speech scene is worthy of criticism. This scene is a microcosm of the whole movie. Absolutely brilliant
Yeah from Darryl Drivs of Moorestown resident brings fresh beats to Eagles songs. Let's just all P.E.C.E. settle down and focus on what is up next for us fans and folks of, P.E.C.E. Philadelphia East Coast EAGLES. Now is a right time to be, serious and fearless. Yeah, The Eagles are fearless, - Seriously dangerous. Yeah and these lyrics are apart of Moorestown resident brings fresh beats to Eagles songs. And so is, "Drawl FIRST BLOOD". Yeah however to hear, Drawl FIRST BLOOD is turned up in. EAGLES EXCLUSIVE PRAYER/SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS 52 YOU TUBE DRIVS. YEAH LISTEN AGAIN. Drawl FIRST BLOOD.
Yeah this clip reminds me of the day a white team mate stopped use of the word, "Nigger" got stopped in my presence. Yeah my white Fairview teammate stopped it in the respect of me and I will never forget it. Moorestown resident brings fresh beats to Eagles songs.
At the end of the day from brilliancy.. We will never see a masterpiece like this again. And that is a FACT in OUR book.
maybe Goodwill Hunting but still ... no lmao
You´re right, man. Thanks a lot, from Brazil. I really appreciate it.
@@doritos6893 Hey, we have Captain Marvel with a letter V :y
And gay Dumbledore.
" You gotta go down on her "
He pulled out a straight flush right there
🤣🤣🤣😭
"Frank!" 😉😉😉
"You ought to"
Well he was so wrapped up in the sugar business that he’s forgotten the taste of real HONEY!!!
A Royal Flush my friend 😂😂😂
"Hear that voice? There's FIRE under that dress."
HOO-AH,
"Goodbye willie.....I'm no fuckin good...and I never have been" that line hits me hard
💯
Reminds me of the scene in Dog Day Afternoon when he's talking to his mother and says, "I'm a fuck up and I'm an outcast, and that's it. You come near me, you're gonna get it -- you're gonna get fucked over and fucked out..."
Same. Rips my god damn heart out each time.
I guess what he meanst was that his mentality, his behavior and his disposition in life do not go hand in hand with common family traditions.
I Loved that part the most
I felt that line
when he says "bye Willy, im no fucking good" always hits me right in the feels
Yeah I felt it too. But is that possible with a real life person like that?
I searched this clip just to hear him say it 👌🏼
I felt that too and this shit breaks my heart everytime I think of blind people
His brother smirks at this comment as if to say, "bs, I know who you are, and you will always be my brother"
@@baderaldhaian5520 mmm
I admire the fact that Frank didn’t mind being personally insulted but couldn’t stomach Charles being treated disrespectfully.
He didn't react to it, but clearly he was getting upset and angered
@@kgarodiya
Oh he was definitely pissed off but the moment his friend was being slandered, he sprang into action.
Frank was getting pissed he was waiting to see if the fucker would stop
@violet I’m sure but up until that point he turned the other cheek. I just thought it was cool that the breaking point was Charlie’s feelings. Shows character. .
That's not it, my 2022 friend. He used the insults against Charles as an excuse to attack. He couldn't attack the guy before that, because everything in the story was true.
I hope people in 100 years from now will still admire this genius of an actor like Al Pacino. U ha u haa.
desi nixo
There are people who said they are Al Pacino fans, but have never seen _Dog Day Afternoon_ Directed by the masterful Sidney Lumet. I think it's Al Pacino's finest work.
@@aperson2943 say's John Travolta at the beginning of Swordfish
@@aperson2943 Great film.
He’s a god damn movie legend in my book
You can tell that when Charles starts to stand up for Frank that that’s the turning point in their relationship. Where Frank learns that Charles is more than a caretaker but really his Friend, practically his only friend. You can see it all on Al Pacino’s face, because he’s such an incredible actor
Funny he has a problem w/ Chuck & Chucky but called him Charles & Charlie himself
@@nadiashireensiddiqi he told him early on that he has no problem with Charles or Charlie but he doesn't like Chucky...
1
Yeah and it wasn’t because he was blind, Charles spoke up because he felt Frank was not only the nephew’s uncle but he was also an elder. You can tell it’s just the way he was raised. Charles hadn’t even been with Frank that long before this scene and deep down he knew he wasn’t all bad, which was why he had learned so much from him. The nephew was a disrespectful ass before they even sat down for dinner. I know one thing, you saw Frank’s brother tell his son to knock it off. Doesn’t matter how old you are, when your parents tell you to shut that mouth, listen up. Everything you THINK you know or have seen is NOT the whole story.
Amazing actor, no one like Pacino
“I was gonna go but now I’m stayin”
You know im using that for now on, when the argument gets gud.
One thing I love about this scene is Franks older brother, while their relationship is strained, Frank’s brother still stands up for him. Always a tear jerker moment, and an accurate reflection of how brothers are.
Not all brothers! 😉
@Edior Mrvn my friend. Only a servant of the eldar would utter such a disrespectful comment. We will ascend upon Valinor with great wrath
The whole scene was so well written and played. They absolutely smashed this outta the park
@@PaulRobert474 I'm no good. Said the same things to my brother's. To this day I miss them.
Willy's warmth's in that look, just beautiful.
PS: Both you and Edior Mrvin had me laughing for a while
The moment Charles intervenes "hey wait a minute, just take it easy" is so powerful and heart breaking
"Hey, just take it easy man."
It's a big scene--a lot of layers. Randy was easily manipulated into lowering himself to the occasion. Frank was fishin' to see if his family had as low a regard for him as he had for himself--providing yet another reason to end his life. However, despite his past, there was a glimmer of hope if someone who's soul was as "intact and non-negotiable" as Charlie's, was still willing to defend him.
Niiice! Never thought of it that way.
Excellent point, I often wonder if Frank showing up to his brother’s house for thanksgiving was one last ditch effort to possibly reconnect with his family and give himself a reason to keep going rather than take his own life.
sei molto intelligente!
@@sheruffa6032 -- Grazie Mille!
You’re right! Marvelous insight!
Al Pacino was PHENOMINAL in this movie, and the Oscar was well deserved.
big YES
If only he could get 10 oscars for this movie!!! What an actor
AGREED! Actually i think he is - in every movie he's ever been in! One of the greats!
He's phenomenal in every movie. Check out "Dog day Afternoon" To me that is the best acting he's ever done
@@KaBoomChannel Dog Day was a great film. Though for me, his best acting was Godfather Pt 2. He performance was intense.
I actually thought Al Pacino was blind for real. He played this role so convincingly that it took until Righteous Kill for me to believe he wasn't blind.
He actually got blind for this part, such a dedicated actor.
@@Jonslondon what.... 'got blind for this part', what do you mean?
@@shantanuroysarkar3371 it was a joke...-
I suspect that he was actually blind when he read the script for Righteous Kill
@@MarkoAnzio he did it because De Niro asked him too.
Pacino was so brilliant in this movie. He absolutely deserved that academy award
Remember how angry Spike Lee was when Denzel didn't win for Malcolm X? He actually said Washington was "robbed" and added "In 20 years who's gonna remember Scent of a Woman?" Lee has always been a big mouth crybaby.
I agree with you a 100%
He deserved more Oscars
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the little look/smirk that Frank does at 2:28
He’s surprised that Charlie (not Chuckie) has had enough and is brave enough to try and stand up for the Colonel. Just a little golden nugget in a gold vault of a movie.
Al Pacino at his finest!!
Yo from Darryl(drvs)Rivers of Morristown resident beings fresh beats to Eagles Songs. Yeah we Eagles fans and FOLKS are rolling up is , Super Bowl Champions again. Which is only #2. For our 2nd time.
OOO ARRR
Sorry whilst this scene is brilliant its not his finest acting. Serpico was by far his best
@@LLOOYYYDD i feel dog day afternoon is
@@fredleeland2464 hm.. I hear you.. ok lets say its a tie between the two. I cannot argue that film is just so brilliant. John Cazale in that film too, man
He don't care when he's being insulted but when his friend/ companion gets insulted... now that, is a different story. Ooh~ Haa~
But he did the same "insult" to Gail. That was just the trigger but he wanted to that anyways
nah it was just excuse to lush out. he's an asshole all time and Randy is right
@@tmrevenge well he warned him. Just how randy correct slade on using gaile. He corrected randy using "chuckie". Randy disrespected Charles on purpose the second time.
@@flowerbloom5782 still calling someone by a nickname like chuckie is no reason to get violent. Plus for the first half of the movie he is always insulting Charlie and threatened him for the "salute." imho coronel slade was a big ass for most of the film and had a very thin skin. If you dish it out, then take it
@@tmrevengetrue. I think that's slade's character flaw. He has no backbone but he is shameless and honest like an open book. he wanted to kill himself because he knows he's pathetic and he has no life. But he met Charles, someone with character and principle and everything slade isn't. His foil. I don't know why I like slade's character so much? He is a asshole, I won't deny that. But something about his honesty and genuine concern for Charles is touching.
I have an uncle just like this. sadly I'm the only one that enjoys his company.
I don't know why everyone was so annoyed with him at dinner, his story sounded interesting af!
Way better than the dumb shit my coworkers or family members pass off as stories about how they saved 5% on a stupid shirt they wanted from Walmart or some pathetic rage fantasy regarding how they almost beat up some guy who cut them off and you know they're full of shit but you don't say anything because you still have to work with them.
Wait what was I talking about?
Well you take care of him so his mental health doesn’t get as bad as Lt. Col Slade’s if you can
It takes a special person to understand a military man especially if they haven't lived it at all. Charlie saw beyond the rough exterior and saw something of value.
I don't think he's "bad" he just hate pretense and hypocrisy in people, that's why he behave like this, he knows Randy is not a good person so he acts accordingly, and his family doesn't like him... another reason he's funny guy in his own manner
my uncle was like that. Cancer took him fast. I dont go to family gatherings anymore
“ I was gonna go but now I’m not leaving”. Love it.
Man Gail was unsatisfied.. the look she made on her face frank said she could be unsatisfied..
Damn I love Frank in this movie. He takes any insults hurled at him, but better not mess with those he respects. Damn good man. He had alot of fun in his past life as well.
He wasn’t gonna have Charlie disrespected at all. He will take it all on the chin like a man but don’t you dare disrespect his innocent caretaker.
Charlie showed integrity, and Randy was tampering with that integrity by knowingly calling him something else. Of course Frank got angry.
Al Pacino was so great in this movie, he really deserved his Oscar for it.
I like how in control Frank is during the entire time he choke-holds Randy. Most people would scream and cuss in rage when they are angry but Frank literally has Randy's life in his hands and he's being very calm and rational about it.
Gail’s reaction kinda gives it away tho
There's fire under that dress.
Frank was right
oh yeah, Randy ain't been south of the border in years, probably has a tiny hog on him too. Gail's a very unsatisfied woman.
"Y'all still here?" 😂
Neat little piece of acting I noticed: Pacino widens his eyes a little in response to "all he lost is his eyesight", almost as if Frank is instinctively trying to see in response to that statement. It's the little touches
Yeah. What I got from his face there was the fact that randy doesn’t understand what “only” loosing ones eyesight means. Seeing that he is on his way to lose his whole life because of it.
Al Pacino schools of acting, you always notice little piece of details that make it amazing, if that ain't the greatest actor, I don't know who else is.
@@angelotrinidad6888 absolutely correct
Al Pacino is one of the few actors I've seen that gets in the character. At such extent, even the voice tone sounds different, its another man. As the blind, he talks to people as if he's listening to radio. You don't get ''Al'' on every character, you get the character, but Al seems to be just the host. Only a few can pull that off, I understand he is one of those.
Well put
Absolutely 💯
The amount of research he does is part of his dedication to his craft.
Whatt a great observation. So true
Very well said I always say this myself! He literally become that character, when I watched his interviews on this role, it's so unbelievable that that's the same guy! And he's so beautiful, his personality everything
Al Pacino is the best actor of all time
I totally! Agree
If decaaprio ever dies
Jack nicholson for me
The tone of voice and accent Al chose for this character is amazing lol
I love the subtle look that Pacino gives when Charlie sticks up for him.
Randy was roasting the shit outta Frank until that choke hold 😂
Lol
That's not roasting that's just disrespectful 💯💯 and Randy would've been done and I wish he would've crushed his windpipe
I believe Randy had a new found respect for his uncle Frank after that.
Frank got him from Randy's wife's reaction imo
Never tasted real honey
It's apparant this relative/nephew didn't see the Godfather 2. You don't screw with Al Pacino.
He especially hasn't seen Scarface. Frank has a bad temper
Good one!
@@elijahvigil7467 Tony montana bruh, not frank
@@elijahvigil7467 He's even luckier his brother Sonny wasn't there
Al Pacino is a great actor of course. But the supporting actor Bradley Whitford (Randy) really convinces the audience that he's out to get him.
Remember he also played Jamie Sheridan in Philadelphia. I bet my bottom dollar he was the reason why the H Line File got lost.
@@laminage your right! He was the one who got the 'Are..you..gay!' question from Denzel Washingtons character.
Great movie though. One of my favorites.
@@laminage He's also great in The Handmaid's Tale!!
Bradley Whitford was great in The West Wing.
He was excellent in Get Out
"Either Gail is nervous, or unsatisfied. "
Her look gave away the answer.
He was right though!😂

@@rare6499 But his has a watermark.
Idk man, I think Paul Allen's card is better than yours...
Pacino was the epitome of classic artist , he took acting to a supreme level
Gail is definitely unsatisfied.
Every scene in this movie is a masterpiece. One of my favourites.
I still say this is the best scene in the movie, even more than his speech at the end..........It conveys the separation of Family and the isolation of a man who has already judged himself, not to mention how desperate he is and lonely. It takes big chops to do that as an Actor and Al makes it look too easy. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! LMSFAO!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Man, Bradley Whitford is such an underrated actor. Always loved him on West Wing and where ever he pops up. Killer performance and takedown going head to head with Pacino.
Agree. Imagine, though scripted, calling Al Pacino an "asshole." 😧
Oh I agree completely. He's phenomenal at playing the bad guy, but he brings such depth to his roles!
I disagree with people who say "but it's just being mean." No, it takes SOME acting talent to play a bad person convincingly. He did well here, I could feel his contempt from his behavior and body language, not just his voice. That takes a little bit of real talent. That's why some actors come across as silly when they try to play bad people and their performance just falls flat.
The rival of Billy Madison
I liked him in Billy Madison
This feels like a typical thanksgiving dinner.
Comedy, rage, happiness and sadness all in 7 minutes, what a film.
The moral of the story is: Don't mess with a blind Veteran with PTSD, an attitude problem, and absolutely nothing to loose!
Somehow I felt the character absolutely craved love and affection, not people sucking up to his stature. And like Charlie once said later in the movie - he has a one track mind on women.
My late best friend was a fearsome blind man who would tear your head clean off if he got hold of you, Pacino put a tear in my eye with his portrayal of a tough blind man..it was 100% accurate.
This movie is just full of great scenes, but this scene and the speech at Charlie’s school hearing are just phenomenal, cinematic excellence!!
I was gona go now i'm not leaving HAAA.
Watched this movie in 1993 at 13 years old and it’s been my favourite movie since. Al Pacino is impeccable and Chris O’ Donnell was the perfect choice for his role. So many life lessons in this movie, a true gem.
Frank protects Charlie! Maybe a father and son kind of bond! One of the best scenes.
Nobody could act a blind guy wonderfully as he acted in this movie ! Always loved his deep ocean eyes ! God bless him!
At 5:46, I love the little moment when the camera lingers onto Frank, it shows his utter isolation and kind of makes it more crystal clear the fact that he's all alone and by himself at that point of time in his life, for whatever mistakes he had made, being at crossroads, yada yada. For me, it also renders the way us lonely people feel right after a conversation with people who never seem to break in the walls we have surrounding us throughout our lives. It's like having an affirmation that things can never get any better and that that's the way it's always gonna be.
Karishma...
I hope that great brain of yours has made you at least

You're very blessed.
I'm just jealous.
Dude this is deep , can you properly explain fr " us lonely people " onwards???
Great analysis
@Thunderous One I'll give it a watch, thankyou for adding to my comment, and for the suggestion. (also I'm just realizing how lonely I used to be, fortunately I find myself in a much better place now, well sometimes. My loneliness mostly stemmed from the misunderstandings I had with people around me during lockdown, as it was extremely hard to virtually convey my feelings across)
@@anantambisht4895 Um, basically I meant that lonely people are sometimes like an impenetrable fortress. The thoughts that they have lingering in their mind imprison them so much that no other person seems to be able to help. It's not like they don't try, but sometimes you're the best you've got. Hope you're doing good.
I hear tension on her voice 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that killed me
"g'bye willie..." "im no f'ckin good... and I never have been..."
-tears started to well up in my eyes
That movie is fantastic. I cry every time.
Everytime
Little that Ramsey know when Frank says "Ramsey look at me when you're talking to me now son" he was locking him in a position" for a chock hold attack that he was about to do lol!
Randy
One of the greatest scenes ever filmed - the bond between him and his elder brother is rendered perfectly
one appreciates the work of an actor for the details. Pacino's work is masterful. His body language, his way of "not looking", but especially the detail of putting his ear (2:28) when Charlie speaks, his face of shame when Frankie speaks (4:07). the characterization work he does is amazing and natural-
5:08 💔
This is probably one of my favorite scenes in any movie.
Not only the premise of the awkward dinner where he is not wanted, but the acknowledgement by everybody. And the fact that I as a viewer am so weirded out by the situation that I dont want to watch it, even though I love it. Typical "watching a car wrack" situation.
The fact that Frank does not change despite of it.
The fact that Frank first gives a warning before he goes for Randys throat for calling Charlie by the wrong name.
His tone, how he takes everything directed at him as a mix between matter of fact and a joke.
The fact that he has the same tone when attacking Randy.
The concern of Charlie, who, even though he has shown discomfort with Franks stories and confrontational nature, just wants it to be peaceful and sees the hurt in Frank that he tries to play down.
And a million other small nuances, like the other guy laughing when Randy says "its a touching story". That one showed real laughter, like the conversation almost took a right turn from awkward and uncomfortable to almost accepting. It shows that the whole conversation could have taken a different tone, if Randy would have stayed on that joking route. However, be it deserved or not, chose to pile on Frank, not pulling any punches.
And of course, the end where Frank acknowledges that he is the one who blew it and probably deserved it all.
Its just such a chaotic mess with Randy and Frank in the center of it and all actors playing their respective roles beautifully. This is pure art.
Great points
couldn't have said it better myself👏
I gotta say, as time goes by I kinda like the dressdown Randy lays down in this scene. That was wickedly crafted dialogue. The writers name is Bo Goldman and he made this for us. Thank you, Bo.
Why does Al Pacino always ruins nice dinners? Scarface, Godfather and this
😂
It's in his nature lol
😂 I’d love to have him over to a southern Baptist family dinner. Me having to leave to do something just so I could not piss myself laughing.
Yes he does ruin alot of dinners ! Great actor and guy though !
In which Godfather he ruins a dinner, I forgot..?
Now there is a family Thanksgiving dinner that will never be forgotten!
it's amazing really how one brother's silence can say so much in this movie. willie is almost silent throughout the whole visit, because there is nothing much to be said that hasn't already. and we as the audience can read willies face to understand. frank also knows willie well enough that a simple snort sound from him will tell frank all he needs to know. I'm constantly amazed by the writing.
I like that he only calmed down when Charlie said let him go
"HUA" stands for "Heard, Understood, Acknowledged" only Al Pacino can deliver this wording
Thanks. I didn't know this.
@@mikecimerian6913 Your Welcome
[citation needed]
Pacino has before told the story of the origins of the phrase, which is actually Hoo-Ah, not "HUA", saying how while preparing for the film, and working with an actual Lt. Colonel, who showed him how to dismantle a .45 in 45 seconds while blind. When Pacino would complete this, the Lt. would say "Hoo-Ah" to him as a way of saying "good job", and Pacino used this as a catchphrase for his character here as a means of acknowledging this.
@@David_Downs actually I can second that. It is HUA. Army vet. 12 years.
Watching Al Pacino in this film is seeing a true artist. He's my favorite actor and he has given me many hours of great drama. I admire him so much.
One of if not the greatest scenes in cinematic history and Pacino carries off every single little detail to make it work. Absolute gem!
Family, the gift that keeps on LIVING.
"I'm no fucking good. Never have been" that line hits hard as hell.
We all NEED A family member like that!!!!!!
We all have one undoubtedly.
"This is a ranger choke hold" as he is holding on to his chin! Great movie though.
The reason that last line 'I am no fucking good. And I have never been' has become one of those powerful lines which people tune in to hear again & again is because it epitomizes what a lot of people feel about themselves deep within. Frank is not really a bad man - just a normal person with a good side and bad side, like everybody else, and he recognizes that. It is just that the cards he played eventually did not turn out in his favour.
And most human beings are like that. Not perfectly good, but not completely bad either. But there are those moments when most people at least sometimes tell themselves 'I am no fucking good...'!
Underrated comment
the best acting performance in the history of acting!
Great scene!! The best is after Frank tells the threeway story, Randy says, "Such a beautiful story" Classic!!
Another priceless scene from this master actor, He told him He's been caught up in the sugar business so long that he forgot the taste of real honey, 🤣 and there's fire and his wife's voice😆, so many great lines in this movie.
Pacino is a monster. A beautiful one.
He is the best! #1 and this movie is my favorite movie ever!!!!
Legend of legends sir Al Pacino ❤️
The ultimate family-conflict Thanksgiving dinner. Superb acting by all involved.
And it Wasn't Even Over Trump 😊
What I love about the line "I'm no good - and I never have been." is that there is something about someone who is self-aware. Frank could have been a jerk and think that everyone should capitulate to him because of his blindness. But he knows he's been a jerk all his life (confirmed by Randy). That's why his brother Willy is being gracious with Frank.
Saddest part of the scene is the end .. his older brother Willie felt bad but was in a tough spot cuz of his son words and actions
This has to be one of the greatest performances ever.
I watched this movie yesterday, ,this scene made my eyes watery.
This is where Frank Slade decides that Charles is a person worth defending, in order to become a true leader in the future.
This scene is where the seed of the magnificent speech in the final scene is sown.
One of the single best acting scenes ever AP is so good that he draws you right in to any scene he is in.
His brother loves him. He sees him for the man he was not the man he is. That’s a loyal family member right there.
Al Pacino is the best , 5 decades of brilliance
2:12 The tone in Gail's voice is like she's thinking, even though Frank was out of line, he has a good point. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣
I adore this film so much. This scene always makes me cry.
When it comes to acting,Al Pacino opened my eyes
2:04 - What´s your point uncle Frank?
- You´ve gotta go down on her
Priceless.
"If I were the man I was 5 years ago I'd TAKE A FLAME THROWER TO THIS PLACE!!!" I have watched this movie so many times it's ridiculous. I never get sick of it. He plays every man's hero. He has your back when you least expect it. " His name is Charles..." or..."...but not a SNITCH!!" This movie is almost 30 years old...but I never get tired of it and I still pause it if I have to leave the room so I don't miss anything. Pacino is one of those rare talents that always leave us wanting more, and he always delivers. Well done as usual.
I absolutely LOVE Al Pacino's acting in this entire movie...especially in this scene.
Frank did cross a line. Justified reaction I'd say.
agreed. his name is charlie, not chuckie. he doesn't like being called chuckie.
I agree both crossed the line. For a mean sob frank has way to thin skin... Just a minute ago he called Randy's wife Gloria one of many times and yet when his nephew does it he gets phisical
@Hyper jones exactly at least he should be able to take some of it, since he constantly is nothing but a complete bastard to everyone
@@tmrevenge Frank excused himself when corrected. "Excuse me . . . Gail." So even if it had been intentional, he excused himself. Randy, however, was warned NOT to call Charles "Chucky" after the first time, but he did it again intentionally, anyway. So, he's a hypocrite for not showing the courtesy he himself demanded. You think Frank has thin skin? Randy's insults mean nothing to him. Frank hates himself. He's got his suicide all planned out. You think he cares what his punk nephew thinks? He compliments his sister-in-law on the way out. He confesses to his hurt brother who still loves him that he's "No fucking good and he never was." He's not planning on seeing these people ever again. But you think his feelings are all hurt? The man is on his way to killing himself. He put Randy in a choke hold because the prick insulted Charles. The Colonel still has some principles. His choke hold was to say, 'Hey, I already warned you the first time. His name is Charles. Disrespect me all you want, but respect him.'
@@CarlosEmilioEsq dude calling him Chuck does not compare with all the insults he subjected Charlie too. Watch the film again. From the very start he was disrespectful to Charlie and even his family, he threatened him because he dare to salute him. Frank is the kind of guy that thinks everything he does is OK but will take it from nobody, and of course he was hurt by Randy's words look at his face. The chuck calling was nothing but an excuse to get phisical. what he said to his brother at the end was his attempt at an apology. Because deep down he knew he provoke the situation and then escalated it even more
The genius of Thomas Newman from 6:20 to 6:37 with that genius pause at 6:30. Captures the emotion perfectly.
FYI. It´s a wonderful blessing to have an elder brother that truly understands your intentions and destiny, and show you and everyone else the way to paradise. Amen.
“What is this Frank?”
Colonel: “Ranger Choke Hold”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 dead
