1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,600
screen unseen this week and something surprising.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:10,280
Yeah, so I saw the movie, it turned out to be movie Better Man.

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:15,560
For those of you not quite sure what movie that is, that's the movie featuring a singing

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:23,400
chimp and is like his backstory of becoming a like a pop star.

5
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:28,680
It's also the true story of singer Robbie Williams who like me you probably never heard

6
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:34,120
of unless you were into early 90 UK boy bands.

7
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:39,320
But Robbie Williams has evidently sold over 80 million records worldwide and once I looked

8
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:47,480
him up I did realize I didn't know one of his songs titled Angels which goes you know

9
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:55,040
I know that life won't break me when I come to call she won't forsake me I'm loving Angels

10
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,600
instead we all know it I don't need to sing it.

11
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:58,600
It says scene.

12
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,480
Well and I don't I don't want the copyright strike from YouTube or Twitch so no we're

13
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,280
not why we're not playing the song.

14
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,600
I don't need copyright strikes.

15
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,600
Yeah.

16
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:11,600
Um.

17
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:20,200
But yeah it was actually a surprising I actually kind of enjoyed it it was interesting.

18
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,560
It's not a movie that I probably would have went and saw to be completely honest it just

19
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:29,080
wasn't didn't look like my thing.

20
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,600
So yeah I thought it was a pretty good movie.

21
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,840
Again that's that's one of the nice things about A-list and screen unseen is you will

22
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,720
dump into stuff that you wouldn't normally see and I think that that's great.

23
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,440
So here's what I want to know how do they connect the story of because I've seen the

24
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,240
posters for Better Man at my local AMC.

25
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:55,120
How do they connect this is a story about a chimp to this is the true story of singer

26
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,600
Robbie Williams.

27
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:03,920
So can you break that down because that like I've seen the posters for Better Man and nowhere

28
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,080
in there would I be like oh this is the true story of how Robbie Williams became a pop

29
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,560
star.

30
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,560
Dude.

31
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,400
Okay I guess like first question back at you do you know who Robbie Williams is.

32
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:24,160
I do I do because I am a weird person who is sadly overly connected to pop culture for

33
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,160
which I blame my mother.

34
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,280
That's something to unpack for another time.

35
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,600
Yeah fair enough.

36
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:38,600
Yeah we will not culture shame anyone but to answer your question I think he kind of

37
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:45,000
says like you know this is like my story of like and how like I view myself and he views

38
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,840
himself as this kind of like kind of chimp.

39
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:54,080
They don't really get into it a whole lot like in the beginning I didn't even know this

40
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,000
was like a real person like I thought I was just a chimp and then at the very end of the

41
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,600
movie like during the credits they took some of the scenes from the movie where there was

42
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:10,040
a chimp and showed real pictures of Robbie Williams obviously not as a chimp and then

43
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:17,440
I was like wait what is this a real person.

44
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:23,120
My wife was like yeah Robbie Williams and I'm like who the hell is Robbie Williams and

45
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,400
then like of course like she goes to the restroom after the after the movie and I'm like typing

46
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,640
like Robbie Robbie Williams who the hell is this.

47
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:36,440
Yeah so they don't like really explain that I think it's kind of like a artistic kind of

48
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,000
touch you could probably get into psychology a little bit there.

49
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:49,280
Robbie Williams does struggle or he did struggle a lot like most young entertainers with like

50
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:57,440
for instance like who he is really why does he do the things that he does suicide stuff

51
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:04,040
like that because he started at the age of 15 he started at the age of 15 and according

52
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:11,120
to the movie they the group that he was a part of I forgot what it's called take that

53
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:18,600
or something anyways the little boy band that he started off with they were playing at gay

54
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,960
sex clubs when he was 15.

55
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:33,200
Wow yeah and he he was so desperate to try to be someone else be someone better like

56
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:39,680
he wanted to become a star because he kind of thought like his life kind of sucked so

57
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:46,040
he was willing to be whoever people needed him to be which obviously led down a very

58
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:56,360
sad story of drug abuse suicide things they get into like his marriage the the baby that

59
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,760
they had blah blah blah all that kind of stuff.

60
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:06,880
I don't want to spoil the entire thing but also it's a it's a biopic so I don't know

61
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:14,680
um yeah it was it was it was a very interesting movie is very shocking it was it was way better

62
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,840
than I thought it was going to be.

63
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:23,240
All right so there you go folks go check out better man again I've seen the posters but

64
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:32,360
had no context to what the hell it was supposed to be so none of them it must have just come

65
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,360
out let's take a look.

66
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:42,520
See how it's doing in the box office so far.

67
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:48,200
Made a couple of bucks.

68
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:55,120
So it yeah it just came out um obviously the place that is doing the best is the United

69
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:02,440
Kingdom which if Robbie Williams is a big British pop star you know for them I mean

70
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:12,600
that makes the most sense um it hasn't done phenomenal but oh wow it's only made a hundred

71
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,160
thousand in the US.

72
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:20,680
Well I think I think it's a little weird because I think they've like opened it to very small

73
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:27,560
locations um because I'm showing that it's supposed to open up everywhere according to

74
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:35,640
IMDB it looks like January 17.

75
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:42,200
So I wonder if those are just previews and stuff weird yeah I don't know again I'm I've

76
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:47,280
seen the posters had no idea what it was about if I get some time I might go might go take

77
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:56,280
a look at it um because that's pretty interesting um yeah so there you go folks have you seen

78
00:06:56,280 --> 00:07:00,120
better man based on what we're telling you are you thinking that might be fun to watch

79
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:12,680
now let us know down in the comments below.
