    It's true, they cut a scene that showed she was a little suspicious of him for all the lies and thought he might have been cheating on him. In a real sense, bringing Del home might have kept their marriage from going to a bad place. I always wondered what a sequel of this film might have looked like, and I imagine Del being a close family friend.

    The trunk is Del's entire foundation-his home, his memories, and his storage. More importantly, the trunk is symbolic of Del and Neal's new association. It is filled with the crazy events of the film that brought them together, and contains the lessons learned by both characters along the way.

  • @ShortyLongstrokin

    @ShortyLongstrokin

    Жыл бұрын

    The trunk is also symbolic of relationships. When Marie was alive, Del had her to help carry their relationship. After she died, their relationship became the trunk and the things in it, and it was not possible for one person to easily carry. Along comes Neal to help carry the trunk, and a new relationship was born. The lesson is that the heavy things in life are made lighter when you have someone to help carry them with you.

    24:03 The reason his wife is crying is that there was a subplot that was cut from the movie. She suspected that Del Griffith was completely fictional, and that Neal was trying to use the Del character to cover up the fact he was cheating on her. Another cut subplot explains the hotel robbery, apparently Neal stiffed a pizza delivery boy of a tip, and that was who broke in and robbed them.

    This movie is hilarious, heart warming and wholesome. Glad you enjoyed it. There are very few Thanksgiving movies out there but this one is absolutely perfect. As far as Dell's trunk is concerned, it really didn't matter what was in it. The trunk was his home. You don't see too many people traveling the country with a large foot locker or trunk in tow. As you can imagine, he probably had very few things in it. Mostly clothes and his shower curtain rings. Another great John Candy movie is Uncle Buck. Not sure if you've reacted to that one yet but it's every bit as good as this one.

    For those that don't have cracking/popping joints. There's no pain before, during, or after cracking/popping.There's like a tension or restricted type of feeling similar to how it feels when you reach the end of any range of movement except you can tell the tension isn't because the tendons/muscles are at their limit. If you push against that resistance enough then there's a pop/crack and then the joint doesn't experience the same tension/restriction any longer and moves more freely and so there's somewhat a feeling of tension relief. My personal favourite is in the morning when I can interlock my fingers with palms out and then bend them all back to a symphony of pops. It feels great afterwards like taking gloves off after an extended time. It's like freeing your joints up to move as much as they possibly can.

    Although I know the movie and almost all the scenes, I can't recall actually sitting down and watching it in one sitting from beginning to end. This is a great choice, and somehow does not come to mind as a holiday movie despite the plotline and two comedy stars. It's fun getting your reaction, Jen!

    Well, Del stiffed him with Neal's wallet. Neal was in the shower, Del couldn't find his wallet so he got Neal's but Neal didn't have small enough bills to pay for the pizza and give a reasonable-sized tip. (And pizza delivery boys of the time only carried a few dollars worth to make change.) So he got a tiny tip and came back to rob them.

    1:31 He wasn't footloose enough to make it. That taxi will be bringing the Bacon home. 9:47 Probably all the passengers he's bitten. 10:16 Called it. 😎 21:45 That's Michael McKean from legendary comedy rock band mockumentary film 'This Is Spinal Tap' (1984) and more recently Better Call Saul, he's great! 25:10 - 25.24 The Worst award and screen text. 😅

    Fun fact - Steve's confrontation with the car rental lady is what got this movie upgraded in ratings...I think to R. I guess you have never seen "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"? You'd notice the guy on the mic announcing the flight cancellations and the car rental lady. I think you'd like it.

    I've stayed in a motel with the shaking bed back in the day. They called it "magic fingers". You'd put quarters in and it would turn on. Some would would gently vibrate, others would rattle your brain.

    As a Chicagoan born and raised in Woodstock, IL (far NW suburb) it's impossible not to notice just how many scenes are all really local to Woodstock, most notably the house which is actually well over an hour outside Chicago by car with no traffic. I know the local area so well the film makes no sense with the order and location the scenes were shot, but they do give a very authentic Midwestern feel. Fun fact, that exact location in town (yes, the house and cross street) as well as other almost 1 for 1 locations in Woodstock are also featured prominently in the film Groundhog Day. It's a very small town of maybe 20k in population, although technically part of the Greater Chicago Metropolitan Area. So I guess Woodstock must have that generic small town feel to it, but still basically "in Chicago". If you watch this movie and Groundhog Day anywhere remotely close in time it's impossible not to notice the insanely similar shooting locations. And again, noticeably that exactly cross street and home. Wild useless fun film fact.

    @ 10:03 it depends on what kind of train you're riding on. If it's only doing shorter trips they probably don't have one. I went east coast to west coast and then back on trains and they had a "Beverage/Snack" cart during the longer legs of the trip which I'm willing to bet is what they called a bar cart back in '87 (I did my train journeys a couple of years ago). The shorter trip trains probably get better diesel mileage without the snack car too (and they save money on paying staff to run it)
