Last night, I decided to watch Backdraft. One of my favorite movies from my youth.
The movie is no Citizen Kane, or the Brave Little Toaster, but I still like it…but I found myself asking questions during the movie. I hope you can answer these during your next viewing of the film.
29 Minutes: Baldwin saves a mannequin. This is stupid.
30:54 minutes: Scott Glen lights up a ciggarrete after putting a huge fire out!
31:09 Minutes: Another fireman is smoking in this house!
34:27 Minutes: Do firmen shower naked?
43:23 Minutes: I have never seen a violin player look happy while playing the violin.
44:53: I forgot Kurt Russel was in Escape from LA and Escape from New York. I think he just remembered this because he just punched a guy in the face.
48:12: Oh look a really stupid montage of firemen stopping fires.
48:53: Why the hell are fireman saving chickens!?
48:59: Why is one fireman stealing a chicken?
59:53: Is Donald Sutherland acting senile, or just senile Or just remembering the glory days?
1:04: A broadway in chicago theatre just burnt down. Take that musicals…get outttaaa here!
1:08:12: This young actor playing a doctor is so happy to be in a scene with Robert De Niro! He keeps smiling at him!
1:14:27: No woman has ever said “show me your firetruck.” No! This is not possible, and rather offensive. Really? do they say that? Women, answer me on this one. have you said “show me your firetruck?”
I thought not.
1:23:02: There was a fire in the loop and one of the guys got burnt. Apparently the nearest hospital is in Edgewater (60 blocks away)
1:31:27 Kurt Russel is a veteran fireman, a Lt at that, so why the hell is he letting his five year old son, cook food by himself near a stove (which causes a fire) as he walks away?
