00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.520
John Wayne could not stop cussing. What are you
00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:05.040
doing? That's a ram. You got to make the first
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:07.440
step. He's not. It's a big challenge to overcome.
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:10.259
What do you think that the rhino might represent?
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:36.039
Hi, welcome back to The Concession Stand. I'm
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:38.380
your host, C. Lovo Cousineau, and today I have
00:00:38.380 --> 00:00:43.659
with me, welcome back, Dallin. Thanks for having
00:00:43.659 --> 00:00:46.399
me back. What movie are we talking about today,
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:51.659
Dallin? You're talking about Hattari? Yes. Starring
00:00:51.659 --> 00:00:58.600
John Lane? Yes, a 1962 film by Howard Hawks.
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:02.880
First off, what are your thoughts? general thoughts
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:04.920
about hitari and like when did you first see
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:09.739
it that kind of stuff i first saw hitari when
00:01:09.739 --> 00:01:15.819
i was a young a young lad and uh it has it's
00:01:15.819 --> 00:01:20.299
been my favorite movie for a lot of years i think
00:01:20.299 --> 00:01:28.480
it's a lot of fun and it's kind of kind of um
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:32.659
grew in me a sense of you know wanting to in
00:01:32.659 --> 00:01:36.079
the outdoors and you know catch animals and that
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:40.920
sort of thing um and i just kind of sort of felt
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.079
like that was a just a very cool thing and it
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:50.099
it is definitely a cool movie yeah for sure i
00:01:50.099 --> 00:01:57.230
mean i hadn't seen it probably for like six,
00:01:57.409 --> 00:02:01.890
maybe eight years before I watched it yesterday
00:02:01.890 --> 00:02:10.569
and today. So it was really fun to revisit. What
00:02:10.569 --> 00:02:12.169
do you know about the history and the background
00:02:12.169 --> 00:02:19.210
of the movie? Well, I know it is actually filmed
00:02:19.210 --> 00:02:29.689
in Africa in the early 1960s. It's really interesting.
00:02:30.590 --> 00:02:35.069
I know one of our actors is a World War II veteran.
00:02:44.949 --> 00:02:56.419
It's a fantastic movie. It's really kind of set
00:02:56.419 --> 00:02:59.060
in that time period. I wouldn't say they're trying
00:02:59.060 --> 00:03:01.860
to portray anything differently. It's portrayed
00:03:01.860 --> 00:03:08.120
in the 1960s. Yeah. And zoo practices. Honestly,
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:12.840
I don't know. Maybe it's better catching animals
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:15.199
in the wild rather than raising them in captivity.
00:03:16.580 --> 00:03:21.259
But what do I know? So things were done differently
00:03:21.259 --> 00:03:25.699
back then than what we do today. Right. um it's
00:03:25.699 --> 00:03:30.060
it's i don't know if things have really changed
00:03:30.060 --> 00:03:32.479
over the years but i can imagine maybe they don't
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:36.199
you know they're not like hatching a whole bunch
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.960
of animals and putting them in zoos although
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.020
in certain parts of the world that may still
00:03:42.020 --> 00:03:45.699
be done right that may still be done in africa
00:03:45.699 --> 00:03:50.280
so it's it's one of those interesting things
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:55.759
that i have to do some more research on But things
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:58.080
were certainly done differently back then. And
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:02.360
the views that they have regarding race or anything,
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:06.759
you know, is of that era. Yeah. That is a very
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:13.659
important thing to disclose. Yeah. Let me just
00:04:13.659 --> 00:04:17.139
tell you. I first watched it when I was very
00:04:17.139 --> 00:04:22.279
young, too. So, Hattari and James and the Giant
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:26.529
Peach. Gave me an irrational fear of rhinos for
00:04:26.529 --> 00:04:36.949
the longest time. Yep. Yep. But I would agree.
00:04:37.670 --> 00:04:44.949
So I think one of the coolest things about this
00:04:44.949 --> 00:04:49.889
movie is that it starts before the credits roll.
00:04:50.250 --> 00:04:54.379
Yes. And this is... one of the things back then
00:04:54.379 --> 00:04:57.259
they used to roll the credits before you watch
00:04:57.259 --> 00:05:01.279
the movie and now nowadays it's after the movie
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:06.899
but in this case is you have the intro the introduction
00:05:06.899 --> 00:05:10.959
scenes of them going after this dangerous rhino
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:22.069
and um one of our guys he gets He gets horned
00:05:22.069 --> 00:05:25.370
by the rhino and they have to take him out and,
00:05:25.550 --> 00:05:27.990
you know, drive him back. And that's when your
00:05:27.990 --> 00:05:30.350
credits roll is when they're playing the music
00:05:30.350 --> 00:05:32.250
and they're driving as fast as they can across
00:05:32.250 --> 00:05:36.490
the, and so far. And that's score though, man.
00:05:36.750 --> 00:05:41.670
Like, yeah, it's definitely of its time. Yeah.
00:05:42.110 --> 00:05:50.920
Iconic. It really is. Yeah. It's, it's so. unique
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:56.480
to everything else that I've seen. There's a
00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:03.660
bit of foreshadowing involved there and it's
00:06:03.660 --> 00:06:08.879
fun. It's very interesting. It's like in the
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:14.079
middle of old filmmaking conventions and modern
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:18.279
filmmaking conventions of story structure and
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:23.079
stuff like that. I heard a put that it's the
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:28.379
hangout movie before hangout movies became a
00:06:28.379 --> 00:06:33.860
thing. Yeah. Because most of the movie is this
00:06:33.860 --> 00:06:40.459
crew hanging out together and interspersed with
00:06:40.459 --> 00:06:48.339
catching animals. Oh,
Load full transcript
definitely. It's interesting
00:06:48.339 --> 00:06:52.490
there's not whole total plot line it's just that
00:06:52.490 --> 00:06:53.990
they're there and they're working and they're
00:06:53.990 --> 00:06:57.329
doing their job um but their job is so unique
00:06:57.329 --> 00:07:02.470
which makes the movie interesting and so we're
00:07:02.470 --> 00:07:06.389
you know faced off with you know catching different
00:07:06.389 --> 00:07:10.649
kinds of animals and what i hear which is unique
00:07:10.649 --> 00:07:14.110
to this movie is is that the actor the actors
00:07:14.110 --> 00:07:16.829
got to do a lot of the wrangling and catching
00:07:16.829 --> 00:07:20.050
themselves Which you don't see a lot of that
00:07:20.050 --> 00:07:23.389
nowadays. And it's hilarious that almost every
00:07:23.389 --> 00:07:27.470
single animal wrangling scene had to be redubbed
00:07:27.470 --> 00:07:32.149
because John Wayne could not stop cussing at
00:07:32.149 --> 00:07:37.110
the animals. Really? Yeah. I guess I can see
00:07:37.110 --> 00:07:44.589
that for sure. So, who's your favorite character?
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:51.459
Oh, John Wayne, for sure. And then maybe next
00:07:51.459 --> 00:07:59.060
on the list, you know, maybe Kurt. Kurt is, he's
00:07:59.060 --> 00:08:02.860
the driver of the other car, and he's like the
00:08:02.860 --> 00:08:08.300
race car driver, you know. Very unique characters.
00:08:08.860 --> 00:08:15.879
You have Kurt and the guy, the French guy. Chips.
00:08:16.540 --> 00:08:22.480
Where it's. Yeah. And they're both fighting for
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:28.199
the girl. Mm hmm. So there's there's tension
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:33.600
in the movie. There's. Yeah. You know. A lot
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.820
of good stuff there. I really love Pockets. He's
00:08:37.820 --> 00:08:43.700
so funny. It's as cool. Very funny guy. Pockets.
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:47.490
There's everything in his. Yeah. Pockets and
00:08:47.490 --> 00:08:53.389
Little Wolf is also pretty fun. Yeah. I will
00:08:53.389 --> 00:08:56.169
say, Pockets probably inspired me to wear cargo
00:08:56.169 --> 00:09:03.169
pants, and they are comfy. Well... They're useful,
00:09:03.409 --> 00:09:07.389
I will give you that. They are useful. Not sure
00:09:07.389 --> 00:09:12.269
if I would say comfy, but... Yeah. I guess it
00:09:12.269 --> 00:09:20.960
depends on your belt. That's true. So the humor
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:29.059
in the movie. You know, there is at one point
00:09:29.059 --> 00:09:38.899
they are trying to they have this Dallas found
00:09:38.899 --> 00:09:42.059
this baby elephant and they're trying to feed
00:09:42.059 --> 00:09:44.100
this baby elephant and they're like, what are
00:09:44.100 --> 00:09:46.320
we going to do? we're gonna shove a tube down
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.919
its throat well no we can't do that because that'll
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.179
you know suffocate the elephant and so they're
00:09:52.179 --> 00:09:56.379
trying to figure out what to do and dallas starts
00:09:56.379 --> 00:10:01.139
hand feeding um with the palm of her hand feeding
00:10:01.139 --> 00:10:08.080
the elephant right and so then we have the scene
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:13.799
where we have like dozens of goats lined up and
00:10:14.730 --> 00:10:21.909
They're milking the goats. And Sean, who's played
00:10:21.909 --> 00:10:24.509
by John Wayne, goes over to Pockets and he's
00:10:24.509 --> 00:10:28.289
like, he's like, what are you doing? That's a
00:10:28.289 --> 00:10:37.370
ram. Yeah. I'm going to milk this thing. You
00:10:37.370 --> 00:10:40.750
wonder if that was the impetus. No. I wonder
00:10:40.750 --> 00:10:42.950
if that's the impetus for that joke and family
00:10:42.950 --> 00:10:49.710
guy. I wonder, probably. But, like, specifically,
00:10:49.789 --> 00:10:55.370
I like the dialogue. And when they first meet
00:10:55.370 --> 00:11:00.250
Dallas, he's like, oh, I see you've been drinking.
00:11:00.269 --> 00:11:02.049
He's like, no, you've been drinking a little.
00:11:02.269 --> 00:11:06.389
No, ma 'am. I've been drinking a lot. A lot.
00:11:08.230 --> 00:11:13.210
And the whole circle around was, I don't know.
00:11:14.029 --> 00:11:18.129
Well, who's that? I don't know. What'd he say?
00:11:18.909 --> 00:11:25.570
I don't know. Don't say that again. Uh -huh.
00:11:27.210 --> 00:11:33.850
Uh, it's just... There's something so... John
00:11:33.850 --> 00:11:44.860
Wayne can play the flummoxed so well. Yeah. But
00:11:44.860 --> 00:11:47.659
yeah, very unique characters for their time.
00:11:47.860 --> 00:11:54.320
Yeah. Specifically, though, what speaks to you
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:58.620
about with this movie? Like, why is it you said
00:11:58.620 --> 00:12:02.159
you said it was your favorite movie? I want to
00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:06.399
say it's my favorite movie. One of my favorites
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:12.070
because it's so different in the sense. Not many
00:12:12.070 --> 00:12:14.389
other movies are going out there and catching
00:12:14.389 --> 00:12:19.490
live animals and going after some dangerous game
00:12:19.490 --> 00:12:25.850
because they're going to put it in a zoo. And
00:12:25.850 --> 00:12:30.350
they're racing around in these cars chasing giraffes
00:12:30.350 --> 00:12:37.690
or wild buffalo and racing across the Sahara.
00:12:39.599 --> 00:12:42.320
It's kind of a whole unique experience in itself.
00:12:45.299 --> 00:12:49.039
And these vehicles, you know, there's a Jeep
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:51.960
from World War II, you know, a Willie's Jeep,
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.620
and then there's this older truck, you know.
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:57.659
Those things were bulletproof back in those days,
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:02.379
you know, that you, you know, fill the radiator
00:13:02.379 --> 00:13:08.620
with water and you just go, you know. So, it's...
00:13:08.779 --> 00:13:11.259
the whole kind of era you know that i'm a fan
00:13:11.259 --> 00:13:18.740
of and it's it's uh going out there and doing
00:13:18.740 --> 00:13:22.940
some fun stuff you know and albeit maybe a bit
00:13:22.940 --> 00:13:27.179
dangerous you know but that's that's kind of
00:13:27.179 --> 00:13:31.259
the magic of it all is how was it filmed yeah
00:13:31.259 --> 00:13:41.309
this i still don't know you know yeah Let's talk
00:13:41.309 --> 00:13:45.429
about the romance. Oh, sorry, go ahead. I was
00:13:45.429 --> 00:13:48.269
only just going to say, oftentimes I wonder,
00:13:48.409 --> 00:13:51.049
you know, how is it that they filmed some of
00:13:51.049 --> 00:13:55.450
those chase scenes, you know? So there's some
00:13:55.450 --> 00:13:59.549
definite movie magic to it. Things that were
00:13:59.549 --> 00:14:02.750
practical back then, you know, whereas nowadays
00:14:02.750 --> 00:14:05.870
we just use green screens and it's all there.
00:14:05.970 --> 00:14:09.110
You know, I don't think back then they had...
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:19.080
you know green screen uh or or like digitally
00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:22.860
you know putting something in there you know
00:14:22.860 --> 00:14:26.100
yeah and of course like for a lot of like the
00:14:26.100 --> 00:14:29.759
close -up of the car close -ups of the car as
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:32.419
obviously rear projection that kind of stuff
00:14:32.419 --> 00:14:35.539
but it's just like for sure like you could tell
00:14:36.590 --> 00:14:42.190
Like, there's real danger there. Yep. I often
00:14:42.190 --> 00:14:45.850
wonder how is it they filmed the beginning scene
00:14:45.850 --> 00:14:49.610
where the man is gored by the rhino. Like, how
00:14:49.610 --> 00:14:54.210
was that done? Yeah, I don't know. And I just
00:14:54.210 --> 00:14:58.049
want to ask, like, we obviously saw the rhino,
00:14:58.049 --> 00:15:04.039
you know, hit that truck. And possibly... get
00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:07.379
that guy you know possibly gorham was he you
00:15:07.379 --> 00:15:11.139
know actually injured for real or just like what
00:15:11.139 --> 00:15:16.740
i think happened what i think happened is um
00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:22.139
they probably put like the fake blood and the
00:15:22.139 --> 00:15:27.200
warm pants on before before rolling and then
00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:31.799
they just let the rhino do its thing it couldn't
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:34.480
have been Couldn't have been real, but it makes
00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:39.320
you wonder, you know. Yeah, it's so interesting,
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:46.539
you know, so many questions. Yeah. So let's talk
00:15:46.539 --> 00:15:50.080
about the romance. What do you think about it?
00:15:51.059 --> 00:16:00.019
And has it informed your decisions? I think it's
00:16:00.019 --> 00:16:03.440
a, I think. The romance in this movie is kind
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:05.679
of interesting. You know, John Wayne is here,
00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:13.679
or Sean, as his name is in the movie, is very
00:16:13.679
--> 00:16:20.240
hesitant at first and throughout the movie, and
00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:22.899
not so much later in the movie, but at first
00:16:22.899 --> 00:16:28.919
and sometime through, he's afraid of Dallas and
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:32.159
doesn't want to fall in love again. Maybe, you
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:33.860
know, maybe there's some thoughts of like, oh,
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:37.740
I can't fall in love again. Women are like this,
00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:48.720
you know, liability, just like dangerous to have
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:52.279
around sort of thing, you know. And Dallas talks
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:55.620
about putting butter on his fingers, you know.
00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:58.340
You should put butter on your fingers, you know.
00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:01.480
there's this conversation they have later which
00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:03.980
is what do you do when you burn your fingers
00:17:03.980 --> 00:17:11.460
well you put butter on them you know um so dallas
00:17:11.460 --> 00:17:16.839
is aware of the fact that he's a prior relationship
00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:25.339
and that um that that ended sour you know and
00:17:25.339 --> 00:17:36.049
so she thinks it's I think it's interesting.
00:17:36.250 --> 00:17:40.809
I think he thinks that he's not good enough for
00:17:40.809 --> 00:17:44.569
him by the end of the movie. And all of a sudden,
00:17:44.670 --> 00:17:47.910
you know, he's trying to get her back. You know,
00:17:47.930 --> 00:17:50.210
whatever means possible, you know, bringing in
00:17:50.210 --> 00:17:52.529
the bloodhounds, which are the elephants, you
00:17:52.529 --> 00:17:55.309
know, to come sniff her and, you know, chase
00:17:55.309 --> 00:18:03.549
her down. So it's kind of a wild ride. Yeah.
00:18:03.750 --> 00:18:07.250
But at first very hesitant and then, you know,
00:18:07.269 --> 00:18:09.630
finds out, you know, that he actually left her.
00:18:09.890 --> 00:18:16.289
And so that's kind of how it went. I think the
00:18:16.289 --> 00:18:19.990
whole saga of Brett with Brandy is kind of hilarious,
00:18:20.269 --> 00:18:27.170
honestly. Oh, yeah. It's something I never expected.
00:18:29.710 --> 00:18:32.710
But I think happens, you know, fairly often.
00:18:33.269 --> 00:18:39.970
It's one of those things like, she doesn't really
00:18:39.970 --> 00:18:42.990
love me, you know, pockets, you know, just standing
00:18:42.990 --> 00:18:45.890
there and watching these two other guys fight
00:18:45.890 --> 00:18:52.089
for her. And, you know, showing off or, you know,
00:18:52.109 --> 00:18:56.309
doing things. And obviously, they're good friends
00:18:56.309 --> 00:19:02.509
with Brandy. But then ultimately, Brandy chews
00:19:02.509 --> 00:19:07.829
pockets. He chews pockets. Which I think is interesting
00:19:07.829 --> 00:19:12.829
and unexpected, you know? I just located my shoulder.
00:19:12.930 --> 00:19:16.849
You messed up your leg, and he gets the ice.
00:19:18.109 --> 00:19:27.829
And he gets the ice. I think when Dallas talks
00:19:27.829 --> 00:19:30.680
to pockets, That first night, asking him about
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:35.460
Sean. He said some things that are not great
00:19:35.460 --> 00:19:41.559
advice at all. And could be a little toxic. But
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:45.180
the other half of that is actually pretty good
00:19:45.180 --> 00:19:49.500
advice. Because he talks about how Sean is kind
00:19:49.500 --> 00:19:53.039
of mean to her. Because he likes her, but he
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:55.500
kind of wants to push her away. Because he doesn't
00:19:55.500 --> 00:19:58.259
want to get hurt again. And it's just like, that's...
00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:03.660
That's not a great message. But then the second
00:20:03.660 --> 00:20:06.339
half of that is like, well, what do I do? It's
00:20:06.339 --> 00:20:10.500
like, that's the key. What do you do? Because
00:20:10.500 --> 00:20:17.599
you got to make the first step. He's not. Right.
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:20.240
I honestly think that's pretty solid advice.
00:20:22.099 --> 00:20:24.319
Yeah. If he's not going to make the first, you
00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:27.440
know, advanced or step, you know, she ought to.
00:20:27.660 --> 00:20:32.029
Yeah. You know. It's kind of the whole thing
00:20:32.029 --> 00:20:35.670
that we, you know, think about romance these
00:20:35.670 --> 00:20:38.069
days is that, oh, it's always the guy that makes,
00:20:38.150 --> 00:20:42.329
you know, the first, you know, ask the girl out
00:20:42.329 --> 00:20:47.230
on a date. But you realize it can be the other
00:20:47.230 --> 00:20:53.349
way around. So there are, you know, especially
00:20:53.349 --> 00:20:55.930
in this case, it's probably what Sean needed,
00:20:56.049 --> 00:21:01.539
you know. What's also interesting is how they
00:21:01.539 --> 00:21:05.240
started was Dallas asks him, well, how do you
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:14.660
like to kiss? What do you mean? Iconic. Low -key
00:21:14.660 --> 00:21:21.299
want to try that line sometime. But he's like,
00:21:21.500 --> 00:21:28.180
obviously it worked. Yeah, it worked for them.
00:21:28.619 --> 00:21:36.559
You know? So it's kind of interesting, for sure.
00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:43.299
Something that I kind of see, you know, is that
00:21:43.299 --> 00:21:46.339
if two people kind of click together, you know,
00:21:46.339 --> 00:21:49.259
and enjoy each other's company, well, naturally
00:21:49.259 --> 00:21:51.799
they'll want to spend more time together. And
00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:55.579
that's, you know, kind of a good place to start.
00:21:58.089 --> 00:22:09.190
Yeah, I think a very interesting part is, well,
00:22:09.250 --> 00:22:11.730
what do you think of the catching the monkeys
00:22:11.730 --> 00:22:18.230
scene? I think it's very cool. I think it goes
00:22:18.230 --> 00:22:22.150
to show that Pockets is actually more ingenious
00:22:22.150 --> 00:22:24.269
than what, you know, than what everybody else
00:22:24.269 -->
00:22:32.650
gives him to be, you know. And I've always kind
00:22:32.650 --> 00:22:34.670
of thought, well, you know, it'd be kind of cool
00:22:34.670 --> 00:22:38.990
to learn all this stuff. And so it kind of inspires
00:22:38.990 --> 00:22:42.470
me to take some other different science classes
00:22:42.470 --> 00:22:46.410
and things like that. Anybody can learn anything,
00:22:46.650 --> 00:22:54.599
whatever they want to learn. As long as there's
00:22:54.599 --> 00:23:01.720
a way, there's a will, there's a way. And then
00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:06.400
after the end of all of that, Pockets doesn't
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:12.160
get to see his own rocket fly. But I think it's
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:19.519
a very cool way to catch monkeys. Something I've
00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:22.490
never thought of before. Especially when you
00:23:22.490 --> 00:23:25.309
have an order for like 500. It's just like...
00:23:25.309 --> 00:23:30.630
Right. You gotta catch them all. Gotta be the
00:23:30.630 --> 00:23:38.089
very best. Like no one's ever known. But... Let's
00:23:38.089 --> 00:23:45.809
see. I really like when movies bookend each other.
00:23:45.930 --> 00:23:51.160
When movies bookend themselves. Yep. like with
00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:56.180
this his book ended in two ways with the rhino
00:23:56.180 --> 00:24:03.380
and then also dallas's first meeting and at the
00:24:03.380 --> 00:24:07.920
end and they get married and it's that whole
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:11.140
scene playing out all over again plus elephants
00:24:11.140 --> 00:24:20.269
um what do you think that the If you had to take
00:24:20.269 --> 00:24:22.430
a stab, what do you think that the rhino might
00:24:22.430 --> 00:24:33.009
represent? Well, I know that they mentioned that
00:24:33.009 --> 00:24:36.029
it was, you know, that there was a curse and
00:24:36.029 --> 00:24:44.390
that the rhino killed. Oh, what's her name? Brandy's
00:24:44.390 --> 00:24:48.369
dad. Brandy. I was going to say Sandy. Brandy's
00:24:48.369 --> 00:24:55.589
father. And then after that, it gets the Indian.
00:24:56.390 --> 00:24:59.509
And so, you know, it's like, what are we going
00:24:59.509 --> 00:25:03.710
to do? It's a big challenge to overcome. And
00:25:03.710 --> 00:25:05.950
so it's one of those things that it climaxes
00:25:05.950 --> 00:25:12.269
up until the end. And there's that climax. The
00:25:12.269 --> 00:25:15.539
rhino. you know, gets up and escapes and they
00:25:15.539 --> 00:25:18.319
have to chase it again. And they finally get
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.380
it, you know. It's like one of those problems
00:25:22.380 --> 00:25:26.359
you just have to, you know, keep at it until
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.759
it's exhausted. Yeah. And then you can, you know,
00:25:30.819 --> 00:25:35.700
get over that obstacle. In that movie, I think
00:25:35.700 --> 00:25:41.980
it really represents a kind of the end of their
00:25:41.980 --> 00:25:45.569
journey. that that was that was the last one
00:25:45.569 --> 00:25:48.490
that they were going to get also signifies the
00:25:48.490 --> 00:25:55.009
end of that you know that jinx they call it and
00:25:55.009 --> 00:25:56.970
i don't know it just kind of makes me wonder
00:25:56.970 --> 00:26:01.369
it's like you never know you never find out when
00:26:01.369 --> 00:26:06.710
uh sean's first relationship kind of fell through
00:26:06.710 --> 00:26:10.750
you didn't really know when brandy's dad died
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:15.400
And so you just kind of wonder. To me, it kind
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:21.700
of feels like thematically he was stuck since
00:26:21.700 --> 00:26:28.579
maybe losing Brandy's dad and then the relationship
00:26:28.579 --> 00:26:33.380
falling through. And then he finally overcomes
00:26:33.380 --> 00:26:39.640
and they catch the rhino. And then he can kind
00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:49.309
of breathe, you know? Yep. I thought of something.
00:26:49.349 --> 00:26:59.390
It was a journey there. Yeah. So, Howard Hawks,
00:26:59.410 --> 00:27:02.990
I learned this later, that he made a lot of movies
00:27:02.990 --> 00:27:07.130
and his style and storytelling style was he was
00:27:07.130 --> 00:27:11.930
fascinated with professionals and competence.
00:27:14.829 --> 00:27:18.269
And so, like, all of his, a lot, or if not all
00:27:18.269 --> 00:27:22.049
of his movies were about just a group of professionals
00:27:22.049 --> 00:27:28.710
working together. And, like, that team and camaraderie.
00:27:30.470 --> 00:27:33.670
Right. Like, you could definitely see that, especially
00:27:33.670 --> 00:27:39.329
when it comes to catching the monkeys. It's just,
00:27:39.329 --> 00:27:43.619
like, they trusted Pockets. now you promised
00:27:43.619 --> 00:27:52.420
sean you promised so it's just like um yeah awesome
00:27:52.420 --> 00:28:02.000
stuff the music yes very iconic is ingrained
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:07.440
into my memory forever it's fascinating when
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:13.630
he no one seems to know hatari But everyone knows
00:28:13.630 --> 00:28:23.190
the Baby Elephant song. That's great. Everyone
00:28:23.190 --> 00:28:35.490
knows it. I don't know. I'm not a music person
00:28:35.490 --> 00:28:40.390
who can analyze stuff, but I'm kind of curious.
00:28:41.740 --> 00:28:47.339
What makes that so iconic? I think back then,
00:28:47.420 --> 00:28:50.200
especially back then, they used to make their
00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:56.279
own music for the movies and they would add them
00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:04.740
in. Normally they would have a symphony orchestra
00:29:04.740 --> 00:29:08.720
playing the whole thing and that's what they
00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:13.140
do. They have a score that they follow. And so,
00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:17.200
you know, and maybe to this day, maybe that practice
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:23.220
is still followed. Maybe it isn't. But I really
00:29:23.220 --> 00:29:30.019
do think that's a very cool way to do things.
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:34.640
And, you know, things have changed over the years.
00:29:34.900 --> 00:29:38.000
But back then, especially, that was something
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:42.200
they did. it's very unique um that they would
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:46.339
you know use the orchestras and and sync them
00:29:46.339 --> 00:29:52.900
up and you know kind of you know i'm gonna make
00:29:52.900 --> 00:29:56.480
sure it's all you know i'm just right you know
00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:01.000
however they do that yeah but real orchestras
00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:03.220
you know playing real music instead is something
00:30:03.220 --> 00:30:10.119
that's um from another artist yeah not like a
00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:14.319
needle drop it's like yeah i guess there's kind
00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:22.059
of needle drops but not really uh so i guess
00:30:22.059 --> 00:30:25.819
to address the elephant in the room pun intended
00:30:25.819 --> 00:30:38.440
how do you think it handled the setting Africa
00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:47.019
in the 1960s. And especially those racial sensitivities
00:30:47.019 --> 00:30:51.759
in the United States. Oh, yeah. I think they
00:30:51.759 --> 00:31:00.920
handled it very well. You know? There was a...
00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:06.769
You know, there... When I watch this movie, it's
00:31:06.769 --> 00:31:09.769
it's not like I think of anything, you know,
00:31:09.769 --> 00:31:12.410
anybody being racist or anything towards, you
00:31:12.410 --> 00:31:15.650
know, one another. It's it's really they're living
00:31:15.650 --> 00:31:20.569
in Africa and they're doing, you know, safari
00:31:20.569 --> 00:31:28.289
things. And so it's. There's there's no segregation,
00:31:28.650 --> 00:31:30.970
there's just, you know, we're going to get together,
00:31:31.109 --> 00:31:33.190
we're going to get this done. Yeah. You know,
00:31:33.190 --> 00:31:38.000
and. I believe some of the actors even learned
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:40.579
a little bit of Swahili, you know, to be able
00:31:40.579 --> 00:31:44.799
to work with the natives, you know, in the production
00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:53.039
of this movie. And so I think it was kind of
00:31:53.039 --> 00:32:00.440
one of those, it was a, you know, very good movie.
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:04.099
Yeah. Very good the way they did things, you
00:32:04.099 --> 00:32:06.880
know. Let's just say that it was handled a lot
00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:17.839
better than India in Temple of Doom. Right. Oh,
00:32:17.859 --> 00:32:25.900
boy. For sure. But, yeah. Any final thoughts
00:32:25.900 --> 00:32:35.200
before we wrap up? You know, I just think it's
00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:37.400
a fantastic movie. Everybody should watch it.
00:32:38.259 --> 00:32:41.900
I showed it to my fiance and she just loved it.
00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:47.319
And so, you know, I recommend it to anybody who
00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:51.019
wants to broaden their horizons a little bit
00:32:51.019 --> 00:32:55.000
and watch an old
movie, you know. And it's an
00:32:55.000 --> 00:33:01.480
old movie, but it has color and it's just simply
00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:04.809
magical the way they do things. right the way
00:33:04.809 --> 00:33:09.609
they did things and so it's it's a fantastic
00:33:09.609 --> 00:33:13.910
move i would recommend it to anybody yeah uh
00:33:13.910 --> 00:33:20.029
for me it's it's got an unmistakable charm like
00:33:20.029 --> 00:33:25.190
john wayne in my opinion can't make a bad movie
00:33:25.190 --> 00:33:32.410
so for sure uh what would you give it out of
00:33:32.410 --> 00:33:42.009
ten Oh, well, one of my favorites of all time.
00:33:43.069 --> 00:33:50.549
Honestly, nine out of ten. Yeah, I... There's
00:33:50.549 --> 00:33:53.390
not a lot of stuff that I don't like. There's
00:33:53.390 --> 00:33:58.710
not, like, any villains, really, that makes me
00:33:58.710 --> 00:34:04.140
dislike the movie hardly, you know? There's been
00:34:04.140 --> 00:34:06.619
some other movies that are kind of gut -wrenching
00:34:06.619 --> 00:34:11.719
for me to watch where one of our protagonists
00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:17.039
is attacked and killed or, you know, maimed in
00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:21.300
some way. And it's just like, there are some
00:34:21.300 --> 00:34:25.000
of those movies where they really write the antagonist
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:31.039
to be someone, you know, who you really hate,
00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:35.820
you know. There was a movie, for example, where
00:34:35.820 --> 00:34:40.460
John Wayne was killed. And this other actor,
00:34:40.539 --> 00:34:45.400
you know, who did the killing, you know, he said
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:49.760
he was glad to do it. But he was kind of, you
00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:55.239
know, dare I say, persecuted or sent, you know,
00:34:55.260 --> 00:34:59.460
death threats after this movie, you know. It's
00:34:59.460 --> 00:35:02.929
so interesting. The feelings that... that a movie
00:35:02.929 --> 00:35:07.050
can bring out of us more particularly. Was it
00:35:07.050 --> 00:35:11.530
True Grit? But this movie, I think it was called
00:35:11.530 --> 00:35:20.789
The Cowboys. Where there was a bunch of kids
00:35:20.789 --> 00:35:25.369
and he was teaching them how to be cowboys and
00:35:25.369 --> 00:35:27.969
how to wrangle cattle. And this is one of John
00:35:27.969 --> 00:35:33.900
Wayne's later movies. or antagonist i can't remember
00:35:33.900 --> 00:35:40.179
the actor's name well you know spoilers um killed
00:35:40.179 --> 00:35:43.519
them later and the boys you know they become
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:49.440
men in a sense and and take um his revenge i
00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:52.519
think i might have seen you watching that really
00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:57.119
interesting i've seen clips of it uh i've i've
00:35:57.119 --> 00:35:58.639
watched the entire thing you've probably just
00:35:58.639 --> 00:36:02.010
seen me watching some clips um i really like
00:36:02.010 --> 00:36:05.570
the movie my mom hated it because john wynn dies
00:36:05.570 --> 00:36:11.590
it's violent um there's some you know cursing
00:36:11.590 --> 00:36:14.530
and things like that but it's pretty typical
00:36:14.530 --> 00:36:20.570
you know yeah pretty probably pretty tame for
00:36:20.570 --> 00:36:24.250
sure for sure comparing to today's movies yeah
00:36:24.250 --> 00:36:35.800
uh yeah I... I'd probably give it an 8 .5. Probably
00:36:35.800 --> 00:36:41.619
a 9. I don't know. There's just some things that...
00:36:41.619 --> 00:36:54.119
I think maybe didn't age too well. But... For
00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:59.150
sure. But of course, that's just my... Modern
00:36:59.150 --> 00:37:05.010
brain trying to reconcile with, you know, a product
00:37:05.010 --> 00:37:09.369
of the time. Yeah. Just curious, what do you
00:37:09.369 --> 00:37:13.250
think didn't age so well? You know, something
00:37:13.250 --> 00:37:16.449
to think about, something I don't think I quite
00:37:16.449 --> 00:37:23.010
thought of. Just Sean's mild misogyny. Oh, for
00:37:23.010 --> 00:37:26.309
sure. For sure. Yeah. It's like women are a damn
00:37:26.309 --> 00:37:30.940
nuisance. It's like, well, I don't know. I think
00:37:30.940 --> 00:37:35.019
that was really the time, that's for sure. It's
00:37:35.019 --> 00:37:39.780
one of those things that didn't age well. I guess
00:37:39.780 --> 00:37:44.519
I do appreciate when they do express ideas like
00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:50.059
that, they are kind of looked at as pretty ridiculous
00:37:50.059 --> 00:37:56.139
and maybe played up for laughs. Yeah. That's
00:37:56.139 --> 00:38:01.250
for sure. I don't know. Maybe I've gone... I
00:38:01.250 --> 00:38:05.150
don't know. But... Anywho, with that being said,
00:38:05.230 --> 00:38:07.510
