But let's go ahead and get into this.
Yes, let's do.
Let's not.
What's what's.
Yes.
Not be around the bush.
Basically, I'm already I'm already lost with all these notes I have.
Okay, so basically, the man who killed Hitler and then the big, that's the whole title.
Like that's 100% the whole God damn title of this movie.
And I'm like, man, you guys could have showed recorded a little bit or do you know what
I mean?
Yeah, they were like to the point on that's exactly what he did in the movie.
It did not let you guess or anything.
So in the movie, it's set in 1987.
You follow this guy named this old old man named Calvin Barr.
And he's just basically just living his life.
It's a real mundane, you know, go to the bar at night, go home, spend time with his dog,
you know, just the most mundane existence for a man whose history is so extraordinary.
And he's just living life like he's got this like restless sense to him where he's just
like, like there's like something that he's missing or didn't do or needs to do.
And he's getting older and he can't like he's made like he's like I related to that.
There's just like an energy in him that's still left and he just cannot figure out how
to implement it into the world.
So it wasn't like Sylvester Stallone and the Samaritan.
Where you just want to be left alone?
Yeah, you got him to be a guy.
No, he was like you felt like he he needed to accomplish something before he died, I
guess.
So it's it's him in the present and it would flash back to him in the past and how he came
about killing Hitler.
And basically, he just got sent to the fucking front line.
He infiltrated the the German controlled territory, somehow got himself the fucking most Nazi
of Nazis.
He was like black, the swastikas everywhere.
This man had a watch with the hands made for the swastika, right?
Because they're all curved, you can't tell what fucking time it is.
I'm like, what the hell?
What the hell is the point of this stupid watch?
It's that three but it's pointing to six.
It's like it's like the little it's like the actual Nazi symbol.
Yeah, the swastika.
So imagine that just going in circles.
How the fuck you can tell what time it is?
So as a younger man, he goes to he finds he finally finds Hitler in this hotel and he
goes up to the front desk.
There's a guy who tells him to they don't really speak any German, which is kind of
funny.
They're just like all kind of just like muttering to each other like like pantomiming.
And he has him you know, you put your stuff on the table.
Let's let my guard pat you down so you don't have any weapons like they're like really
nervous about what's going on.
It's Hitler after all.
They have to vet who comes in.
So they play TSA.
TSA basically.
Yeah, I just didn't show any fingers up his ass.
And he's supposed to deliver these.
He says you got to deliver this letter or he implement or he kind of like interpret it.
He has to never talk.
It was so weird.
And the whole time these planes going over the hotel and it's like rattling the whole
building.
He's like low flying planes and the guy on the deck, he's actually wearing white, which
it was an interesting contrast to bar the spy wearing black.
The Nazi front desk I was wearing all white.
He kept putting his hand over his drink every time the plane would rattle.
And I didn't I thought it was weird.
I didn't know why for like I wasn't paying attention early on what happened.
But a bar goes up the stairs to the top of the like the hallway of the rooms to meet
Hitler and he turns around and he salutes the guy.
He does the Nazi symbol thing.
The the Nazis salute and the guy has to, you know, automatically set up and do it too.
The bar did that.
So when the plane went over, all this dust fell from the fucking ceiling and landed in
his drink.
That was why he was covering the drink the whole time.
So he fucked up his drink, his little alcohol, just full of dust and whatever fucking asbestos
in the walls.
So bar goes, he's walking down the hallway to meet Hitler and he starts like putting
together like he has to leave his gun at the front desk, his little Nazi gun.
You know, what's that called that?
I should have looked.
I should have just type of Nazi gun.
It's that weird looking gun that all the Nazis had.
And it's like I know history.
All the Nazis had this one specific gun.
It was a standard issue.
I don't know if you know, it was like a common German weapon or a pistol.
He had to leave it there and he starts walking the hallway.
It's empty and he starts like taking shit out.
Like first he takes a clip off of his leash because he had a dog with him the whole time
and he sits the the handle to it.
He pulls out something from his his his hat, pulls out something from his boot and he just
and takes out a the guy left and keep he let him keep his lighter, his pen and a flask.
Well that was a bad idea because he started putting this shit together.
The fucking lighter was a gun magazine that he put for the three other three items.
He connected that.
The barrel was the pen and the silencer was the flask.
So now he had some weird ass fucking makeshift gun that he made down the hallway.
James Bond that shit.
He goes to the he meets Hitler, right?
Hitler for some reason had Hitler coughing like just old and just like he's dying or
some shit.
So he's in the hotel and Bard does the Nazi salute again.
But when he does the salute, you can see behind him, he got his fingers crossed, which was
something that Steven Spielberg told the actors to do in one of his movies.
I think it was a movie he made about the Holocaust or something.
I can't remember.
But he told all the actors that if you cross your fingers with your other hand, when you
do the Nazi salute, it makes it an old and void, which is a very go.
So anytime he did a Nazi salute, he wasn't really doing the Nazi salute.
So he gives the letter to Hitler.
Hitler opens it up.
It's like, what's this?
He doesn't say they never say anything.
I guess no one spoke German on this fucking movie production.
Yeah.
You know what, though, better to be quiet and not let everybody know that you can't
speak German than to start babbling off.
Just screaming.
He opens up the letter, pulls it out, and it's one of those God damn posters for Uncle
Sam.
I want you for the army.
And Hitler's like, oh, no.
He looks up and the guy fucking puts two.
One in his chest, one that has a thread in his fucking head.
And then boom and boom, Hitler's dead.
So that's basically the move.
That's basically like 34 minutes into the movie.
Hitler dead.
So then, as I said, he was having like a restless time in his life.
He eventually goes to meet his brother and he has a great monologue about what he did
in the war, which I guess he only killed one person in the war was Hitler.
But it's the most important one.
That's what he thought.
So he has a great monologue that he talks to his brother's a barber, but his bald.
He's a barber.
I know one of those in real life.
I can't have hair, so let me fix yours.
The bar says he's like, he's like, no, shot someone during the war.
Never wanted that to kill a man, even if he had it coming.
And he did.
I was like, man, that's deep for such a horrendous movie.
It was boring.
It was like, it was like a little too much.
The big foot part made there too much.
That's one monologue.
OK, so then it's such a weird fucking movie.
So now he's an old man, right?
He's been doing all these flashbacks.
It wasn't all like one shot of McKinley Hitler.
It was separate flashbacks.
And then finally led to the flashback of him killing Hitler.
And so the government, these two government guys show up after him killing Hitler, which
I guess led up to Act Two.
And he's like, they're like, Mr. Barr, we need you for a mission.
He's like, I'm like 97 years old or some shit.
He just doesn't want to.
They have, I guess they have a good reason.
So God, the reason they need to kill Bigfoot is because he carries something called the
nightmare play, which is apparently that play like that everybody fears that it's that one
play that is like an instinct killer.
Not that like, oh, you get sick and you know, you get quarantined or whatever.
This is worse than the black death.
Like, yeah, like this is it.
Like you're going to die if you if you get affected by this play.
And it's just killing all the animals except for Bigfoot.
So they somehow were able to isolate Bigfoot to a 50 foot, no 50 square mile radius called
the dead zone.
And they put a ring of fire around it, a controlled burn so he can't get out or nothing.
He didn't nothing get out.
The only they're only they say that they're lucky that the birds weren't infected too.
Because if they had flown out of there, it would have been a wrap for everybody.
Yeah.
So everybody's freaked out and they say that out of all the people that they've they have
bars blood on record, apparently.
So what you want with my blood?
It's like it's just it's on record.
And out of the three people, he's the only one available.
The other one's dead.
The other one's like a child or something.
He's it.
So he's like, like, man.
So basically he has to now save the world from the nightmare play.
So such a weird movie to segue from the Nazi Germany.
Yeah.
OK.
So one of the one of the government guys, the ones from Canada, like French Canadian
accent, the other one's American.
And he has this weird like like my grandfather told me stories about you.
Some I I didn't even believe.
Say he was going to see now just saying government secrets, making stuff up.
And then the bars like those stories, they're all true.
And then they start talking about the big foot again.
But then like, let me go back to my grandfather.
I cannot let go of this like his business grandpa drove him crazy or something.
Just constantly rattling on.
I guess like he's like, he's bothered me now.
I'm going to bother you.
So he's like that was one that sort of that he always brought up constantly.
And then bars like, yeah, it's true.
And it's the killing Hitler.
And bar is pissed because he said that killing Hitler had no effect whatsoever on the war.
This was his words from another monologue he had.
After he killed Hitler, he says the Germans covered it up and so did we.
And history marched on just like you read about.
I can't even fucking that was terrible.
Let me do it again.
The Germans covered it up and so did we.
History marched on just like you read about.
By the time it got to that miserable man, his words had gone beyond him and his ideas
continue to do all the damage that they possibly could do without him.
That day I just killed a man.
But he stood for was unstoppable.
Just because you kill a person doesn't mean you can kill the idea.
And here's the weird thing.
In this world, that get up that Hitler had, the mustache, the weird hair, the suits that
allowed the Germans to impose imposters to say that Hitler was still alive.
There's a project called Project Valkyrie that it was a real operation in World War
II.
A group of Nazis within the Third Reich tried to overthrow Hitler, but they failed.
In this world, they say he did succeed.
They killed number two.
So he killed the real Hitler.
If Valkyrie killed Hitler too, there was three or four.
The very last one was the one in the bunker that killed him.
The one that killed himself?
Yeah, that's the one that everyone knows about.
That's the last Hitler.
So that's basically what he's so mad about.
He didn't want to ever kill anybody, but he thought if he had to, it would be the worst
human being in history that we know so far.
And so it's made, it's ruined his life, I guess.
Because before he got to Hitler, he needed to get across the border to get to that Nazi
controlled territory.
So he met a group of Russians or gypsies or something, and they were going to get him
across.
So he goes to this tent in the middle of the night and talks to this Russian and have the
weirdest conversation.
I don't even remember a single word about it other than like, what the fuck are you talking
about?
What is happening?
It just keeps snowballing, right?
And then the Russians like, well, I guess, can I give you a shave?
I want to give you a shave.
And because Bar has this huge beard that he's got now, because he hasn't had time to shave
while he was trying to get to Nazi Germany, I guess.
And he's like, but this won't be just any shave.
This is a special shave.
We're going to invoke the spirits or something.
And here's how it goes.
Here's what he does.
He's like, I'm going to give you the special shave.
If this shave is perfect, then, okay, so if this shave is perfect, then you will fail.
This mission will not succeed.
But if this shave is not perfect, you will succeed.
This mission will be successful.
But I can't attempt to fail.
I have to be as steady as I possibly can.
I will try to make this shave perfect as I can.
But I can't make it that perfect because only God is perfect.
He said something like, around those lines, he just started throwing words out.
So he shaves them, right?
Right.
After he spoke the special shave, and it's a perfect shave.
No nicks, no cuts.
He's like, well, fuck.
Looks like this plan is going to fail.
But then he takes the knife.
All right.
He said if he attempts to cut them on purpose, they'll both be cursed for life.
So he has to do it unintentionally.
But after he realized that the shave was fine, he nicks the back of Bar's left ear with the
knife.
He's like, your plan will succeed.
But now we're both cursed.
So they were cursed.
The plan did fail.
Him killing Hitler had no effect at all.
So they actually they are cursed.
And Bar was cursed because when he got home, all he wanted to do, because they kept doing
this goofy ass romance plot line that I hate, was he wanted to propose to his girlfriend.
And when he got back, she ended up dying young.
So now he just lived the rest of his life alone with a dog.
I'm like, well, God dang.
Trying to play Captain America stuff.
Basically, he was just so sad.
Like, I'm so he couldn't go back in time, though.
Back to boiling all his food and no Google.
So he knows he has to go kill Bigfoot because, I mean, it's carrying a plane.
It's going to get his brother.
But it's like, his brother was older than he does, and he's supposed to be the older
brother, which is weird.
So he's like, all right, I'll kill Bigfoot for you.
And because they had sent out like dozens of teams and they never came back.
I guess Bigfoot's just that guy.
Bigfoot's got those hands?
Basically.
And Bar's supposed to be some like super soldier, like not like superpowers or like, you know,
soldier serum or anything.
He's just, you know, just that good of a soldier.
So like an impeccable, flawless military record.
Which I mean, like if you only kill one guy and it's 100%, you're just flawless.
Pretty much.
You killed Hitler.
And he's like the only hope for humanity left.
And if they were just going to nuke the little Canadian countryside, the 50 square miles.
Just blow the shit up.
Yeah, if he failed.
It's like, well, if you don't make it, we got to blow it to hell.
I'm like, I started thinking like, why don't you set fire to the whole fucking thing all
the way through?
Like just make the circle, you know, keep making the circle smaller and smaller with
the fire.
Yeah.
But I guess, I guess they didn't console me.
And also one inconsistency is, okay, you set up a fire line, but it's not going to stay
there forever.
Well, they keep to control fire.
So they keep raising, keeping the flames going.
Oh, so they keep.
Yeah.
Which I'm saying, like they can just keep adding more.
Like they make the circle like, like closing in little by little.
You would have burned them out or it made the fucking thing like 50 feet.
Like there he is.
They just blow him to hell.
But whatever, whatever you need.
You need Calvin.
What's his name?
Calvin Barr.
He's got to go.
He's got to do it.
So he goes in there.
They check, they check his vitals and everything.
And then they give him this whole selection of weapons on the wall, just like knives,
guns, all kinds.
Right.
He fucking walks up to it.
That gun, that scope, this knife, that's it.
I'm like, okay, that was pretty good.
So he goes into the ring of fire.
The Canadian, the French guy is like, good luck, Mr. Barr.
God have God be with you, your only hope.
That's how you know it was not in the United States.
Like where it didn't take place in the U.S.
You can tell that it took place in Canada because it feels the U.S.
They just sort of bombed automatically and got it over with.
Probably.
Yeah.
Wasting time.
Canadians are nice.
So right off the bat, the minute like it's him and the French guy standing in front of
the ring of fire, the very next scene, boom, immediately fucking big for get shot in the
face.
That's all you see.
But he hits him in the head.
But I guess Bigfoot's just built bulky because he chugs it off and runs.
But you don't get a clear view of him.
You just see like the sudden movement of him getting shot.
And Barr's like, damn, I had a shot.
Didn't put him down.
So he starts following Bigfoot.
He sees blood all over the trees.
He's following his bloody trail.
He finds a poultice.
I guess it's those little medicinal stuff you can make.
So I guess the Bigfoot can make poultice, little medicine pouches or little medicine
like just mixing together fucking medicinal herbs.
Then he finds Bigfoot's shit.
He's like, I'm a vegetarian.
What the fuck is going on?
So he's like, well, if I was Bigfoot, where would I go?
And he notices a big ass mountain.
Not a big, it's a mountain, but it's not like fucking massive.
In the distance in between those 50 square miles.
So he's like, he'd probably go up there.
So he climbs up the mountain and he finds Bigfoot just laying there dying.
He's like, damn.
And Bigfoot like, by the way, at this part, when you see Bigfoot, that mask looks fucking
horrendous.
It's like, like it was like a low budget $50 movie.
The way they made him look, I think they did it on purpose.
Because I'll tell you why in a second.
But it looked, that outfit and everything that he looked like, you look just like dude
in a mask.
Like, man, that is fucking horrible.
So he starts, he wants to like Bigfoot dies and he puts all these branches together, make
a pyre for him.
Say, oh, don't you worry.
The government won't get your body.
And what the fuck does it matter?
So they just, he puts it up, he lights it up and that just fucking galvanizes Bigfoot.
Like he just fucking wakes up and he just fucking attacks Barr.
They fucking tumble down into like the fucking woods again.
They start having a fucking fistfight of fistfights.
So Bigfoot, now it's an 80 year old man.
So now Bigfoot, this mask of him looks actually really fucking realistic.
I'm like, they did that on purpose because it looks way better now.
They start fighting.
Bigfoot breaks his left arm and drops him to the ground and starts fucking doing those
hammer fists and Barr's getting his ass beat.
He's like, Oh God, I'm gonna die.
And he somehow gets his knife bow and just starts fucking stabbing him in the stomach
on the side.
Right.
And then he just throws up on his face twice.
I think the second time was inscripted that way because he spit right down his mouth and
the actor, either the actor is a really good actor.
He was like, God dang it bro.
He was so mad.
He looked pissed.
Just fucking pea soup in his mouth or whatever they used.
So the Bigfoot hits him one more time and fucking rips his left ear off.
Fucking rips Barr's left ear off.
His cursed ear.
And just his whole fucking ear missing.
And Bigfoot's all stabbed up.
So he runs back to where he was lying the first time when he got up the mountain.
Right.
So he ran back up there.
Yeah.
So he's gonna go die up there twice.
I guess it's a healing stone up there for him.
So Barr comes up, right?
He's like, I never wanted this and fucking shoots him in the face.
And then he lies there like he's like he died too.
I'm like, Ah, he's fine.
The next scene they're burying his son at a funeral.
So it's his funeral.
His brother's burying his coffin.
He's a good brother.
He didn't talk a lot.
He told me he killed Hitler.
He just started rambling on.
They bury Barr and his brother goes fishing with Barr's dog because he took care of his
dog while he went on the mission.
Take care of my dog for me.
I appreciate it.
I made you hot cocoa with marshmallows.
I got legit saying stuff in the movie.
And the brother looks out the shoreline and lo and behold his fucking bar.
Oh, fuck.
I mean the arm and the sling and his fucking ears gone.
But he's he's like happy now.
Yeah.
The curse is gone.
When he lost his ear, apparently the curse dissipated.
And then when he killed Bigfoot, he realized that he did something to actually save the
world.
It meant like this killing mattered.
It actually meant something.
So he's like you can see it like he's like he's just like, man, he's in peace.
Symbolically, the soldier him died when they buried his coffin because they buried his
uniform.
So he's symbolically that he's finally dead and he can finally rest in peace.
Yeah.
And I was like, man, for such a terrible movie, it's pretty good.
Part of the plot sucked.
And then part of it's like, OK, it's not bad.
The monologues were good.
The acting was good.
I guess the premise was a little much for me.
I have a little under budget.
No, it was decent.
It wasn't like I mean, you're not looking at CGI, you know, of end game, but it's not
like it's not a fifty dollar Blair Witch.
Yeah.
So two things at the end of the movie.
Well, two things, two last things was throughout the beginning of the movie, Barr kept having
this problem with his right shoe and he would take it off.
He would be looking for like a stone or something that's messing with his foot because he keeps
feeling something and he can never find it.
And then at the end of the movie, now that he's, you know, at peace with everything is
happening again, he takes his shoe off, does this, he turns it over and shakes it out and
the fucking stone comes down.
He's like, well, look at that.
Damn boy.
Him and his dog are like, damn boy, it's going to be a good life now.
Put the shoe back on.
So he has this box that he keeps like, we never know what's in the box, which makes
me fucking furious.
At the beginning, you see the box three times because they love doing that rule of three
in movies and comedy and whatnot.
The first time he picks it up on the bed, it's underneath his bed.
He sits on the bed, he picks it up from underneath, looks at it next time and he puts it back
down.
The second time he grabs it.
It's like a separate time throughout the movie, not in like one sequence.
Yeah.
He puts it on the table the second time and he lifts up the little metal clasp that they
put on some of these things, like a briefcases.
He's like, no, and he closes it back up.
The third time, well, the third time he has to fucking unbury it from the coffin because
that's where his brother left it.
He's like, where's my box at?
Oh, it's in the coffin.
Oh, fuck.
Son of a bitch.
A 95 year old man digging a big ass hole.
He opens his coffin, gets the box right and sits on the edge of where he dug the hole
opens the box.
I'm like, yeah, there it is.
And he closes it back up and he's like, oh, let's go home, boy.
And it's just like, that's it.
That's the whole movie.
So you still never figured out what the hell was in the box?
No, because they never tell you.
They don't even make any, you can't even make an assumption.
I know that bothers the detective side of you.
Yeah.
I'm like, what the what's in the box?
What's in the box?
But I can, I can assume it could be the ashes of his ex girlfriend that he never married.
That could be the only thing I can think of.
Could be.
Which one would you put in a box?
You know, weirdo.
Put it up there.
Burn.
That would be weird.
It could be a ring.
The ring that he had for his wife, his girlfriend.
Yeah, it could be that.
It could be.
I don't know.
I mean, they left it up to everybody to basically their own determination on it.
It could be fucking Hitler's eyeballs for all we know.
Good.
You never know.
It could be that mustache ripped off and ripped his mustache off.
He needed confirmation for the government brass.
I hear it as his mustache.
You just stop blubbering.
But that's a good movie.
Well worth it.
No.
But I watch anything, honestly.
I watch some drivel, some true horrendous, but I watch it.
Rating.
Yeah, bad.
Bad.
No.
Yeah.
It's like it's I don't like acting one to 10.
Act it was the main character was a 10.
Everybody else.
Now they're solid actors.
Most of them are well known plot.
Yeah, that's that's a weird one.
It's like, OK, so he just he killed not he killed Hitler and then a nine and a big foot.
So the plot was unique.
At least it was interesting.
It's just it didn't.
I wasn't well.
Yeah, it just wasn't well executed.
Yeah.
Budget.
It was solid enough, I guess.
I mean, it wasn't like they weren't like, you know, they weren't that bad.
I guess that was a fake out for the big foot costume the first time.
This shit looks like dog shit.
Yeah.
The second time when they had to fit the fist fight a little much better.
So it's about a six, seven.
Yeah.
Somewhere around there.
Definitely recommend recommend everything.
Watch everything.
I know you recommend everything.
I'm just saying like, yeah, I'll watch it all at least once.
Except for two girls, one cup or the song movies.
I'll never watch hostile again.
And you'll be saying this after you watch that that new Naruto or not Naruto one piece
series coming out.
I might as well give it a try until you call me crying.
But like eight episodes of dog shit.
All right.
Anything else to add before we go?
No.
All right.
I was going to say like witty, but I've done my brains.
All right.
We'll see.
Come on, boy.
Let's go home.
I'll kill the big foot.
No shit.
No lie.
All right.
We'll see you guys next time.
Magnificent mustache you had, by the way.
