Sina. Pals. Hello, everybody. It is Kristen Steves-A-Pino, joined by Miss Vivian Day. And today, we are watching The Untouchables. The Untouchables, let's go. I think I'll have a drink. Yeah.

What a line. Wow. Because he won't be on the job. Only when he's on the job, he won't have a drink. Hopefully he's set for life. I doubt it. The Untouchable was definitely untouchable. What a movie?

7.8? That's it, you guys. Yeah, they're being rude. What? With that one. That was an amazing movie. I'd give it a 9. Yeah.

Solid 9. Easily. Yes. Wow, man. Way ahead of its time. This film was so. delightfully like exciting

while the characters were just awesome. I love that we had the four four musket tears and then there were two I was so sad

when our when our accountant got hit dude poor baby the pacing was so good for it too nothing felt slow everything felt purposeful

I'm shocked at their opening man they just like wiped out that little girl. Like, let's talk about that for a second. And she's trying to do a good deed mister. You forgot your back. And boom. And then the baby scene at the station.

Yeah, what is wrong with you guys? Whoa. You all are sick using these children and putting them in harm's way. Like, was that necessary? I mean, I guess we got the like redemption where, you know, one kid got lost but here another kid had

a safer ending. But still, that was unnecessarily stressful, okay? That was very iconic, but very stressful. Robert and Ken, I mean Kevin, Robert and Kevin, you can't ever go wrong with those guys in any film. The moment you see there in something,

you're like, all right, it's going to be fire. I already know I'm going to love it. Sean Connery was fire in this. Yeah, he was fire too. Hello? But I'm just saying a lot of times, a lot of times when you see Kevin or Robert right off the gate, you don't need

as long as you know those one of them's in the film, you don't even know anything else, that's all I'm saying. Sean, Conner, yes, Sean is awesome too. I think he's like phenomenal. He had some of the best scenes, I think his character was so enjoyable.

So lovable. And he was so wise and clever. But I wish he gave up his source. Yeah. But I love that. I mean, I love the secrets and I love how well he played it. But I kind of wanted more of his backstory and like, I wanted to, like, go back in time a little bit.

The sets were amazing. Like, I thought of that because when you said you wanted to know more about him, I thought when we first see him, you know, on his work grind, we get it. But then when you go into his house, when Elliot is trying to convince him to join him. And you see his family. You see everything, even from the wallpaper, like that just every prop was so well-placed. And I thought that, too, while we see Capone. at the dinner

with all the mobsters and everything is pristine and beautiful and white and like... But their locations are fire to. But then, like, the elegance is ruined immediately and even the color is ruined

immediately of the lighting when, you know, he goes to bat. I feel they took so much care with their sets, the props. The wardrobe killed me. Oh my God, Armani did amazing. Those suits and all the The costuming was, oh, my God, timeless.

I was so moved by all of that. This was such a full-on, well-executed movie. Every level, the shots were really special and great. Yeah, they worked with amazing people, cast and crew, I think. That was really good. I actually like that. I really like how, at the end, I like how they had Elliott take his win and walk away. And I loved the ending with the reporter.

So what are you going to do when he comes back? And he's like, I'm going to take a drink. Like that, that's pretty baller. I mean, at that point, he's like, look, I did my job. I got him. So it matters. And then like 11 years is a long time. And when he comes back, somebody else's problem.

But at the same time, you're like, no, but I want you to get him again, you know? And he's like, no, I did my job. I did what I said I was going to do. You know, because like he's out there. he wanted to get the guy, he got the guy, and then he, and then it was so intense, he retired. He was like, I'm going to protect my family. And that goes back to in the beginning when Jim was talking to him, you know, about how much you're going to lose and how far you have to go if you're going to attack somebody or go after

somebody. Like, and it shows that he was at peace with that too, where he's like, you know what, I lost a lot of my own rules and I broke everything, but I'm so happy with myself. Like, I'm okay with all of it. So that was a beautiful arc. that he went through too. That was pretty great. I love, too, with the dialogue that they didn't have to get too wordy.

They didn't have to have huge long monologues. They somehow wrote it really well to where, like, you got everything you needed to hear, and then you filled in the rest, and that was good enough. Like, you didn't have to. I like that, yeah, I know, but I really want to be in that room. And then afterwards, I was like, let it be, Kristen, let it be. Let it play out. And I'm like, I want to be there, too.

I'm so invested that just let me in but I'm glad that you know they did it the way they did I love the swapperoo of the jury that was a good move and then I love how the immediately

the lawyers like we play guilty we're not going to win yeah but and I love that they didn't have to go too gory either I mean I know we're like super unfazed now by that and back then it was probably

different. They probably thought this was super gory, but for me, I felt the violence and the tension without having to have, like, blood and guts and things happening all the time. You know, they did a good job. I think I'm still not censored to that stuff because I was affected. I stayed away from that stuff. Totally. And you work here, ma'am? Yeah, this is where I've been exposed to it, honestly. Like, everybody makes fun of me, and they're like, oh, I shouldn't even see this. And it's like, no, I've been watching, like, cartoons, the same freaking car. cartoon over and over again. Okay, I didn't come from cable.

I didn't have like, no. My mother gave me Disney VHS tapes. I rewined it them. I watched them several times in a row and I was outside. When I did watch something, it was normally something that was sweet and innocent. And now you're watching it and untouchables with me. Yeah, and I'm not, I'm like, so I don't know. For me, I'm like, I feel like since I started, like, when I met Charra and Javi, things just

completely changed. The day they showed up to one of my premieres and we met and then they just, they're like, you know what, we got to corrupt this girl. We realized she doesn't know, jack shit. And how do you feel now? You know, I've been, I've been entered in a whole new world. I've been so educated. I understand what people are talking about now for a lot of different things, but I'm still like,

and sometimes I have nightmares, so whatever. Therapy. You do what you got at. $20 is $20. I'm enjoying the ride. I'm enjoying the ride. But this film was really great. I loved it.

I love more of like an old, like, what's the word I'm looking for? Like mobster movie? I love mobster movies, but I love like, I love older films in general. Era. Yeah, older eras. Like, period. Films. Sorry.

But just I like things that were made back. Yep. I don't know. I like the grain. I love like, I don't mind things being so crisp. But if I had to choose between the two, I do like, I like more of like that greeny, like old school vibe. It's more emotional.

But then again, I think it's because that's what I grew up on, too, with my grandfather. So I watched a shit ton of John Wayne films and Little House on the Prairie. That's what Miss Christine grew up on, okay? I don't know. I really enjoyed this. I did too. You all, let us know your thoughts in the comments, and I hope you enjoyed this as much as we did. It was heartbreaking, but I was heartbroken in this, but at the same time,

I'm like, let's go. Let's go. Amazing work. It was very well done. They did their homework. I loved it. You guys hit the subscribe button, bell icons, all notifications, and up about this video. I'm Kristen Seveno.
