I hope you all enjoyed the very first Tuesday reaction video!! Tuesday's are going to be mainly for continuing series that I've started (Jumanji, Jurassic Park, the Conjuring, etc.) and Level 5 reaction requests from Patreon! ALSO, side note: I think the craziest part of this reaction is how hard it was to edit down. This is almost as long as my edited down LORD OF THE RINGS reaction (the first one, EXTENDED, by the way) Though this does also contain my longest end discussion to date, which was almost 10 minutes of discussion. But yeah it was so hard to edit down because this movie is so DENSE SO much happened in this 2 hour 17 minute movie So much talking and detail While with Lord of the Rings, that was apparent as well, but SO much time was spent showing off scenery and battle scenes, and other conversations that just weren't as super important, ones that can be appreciated but omitted from the reaction video It's just crazy how two movies, one being almost half as long as the other, can be almost the same length in my edited down reaction versions! RANT OVER but yeah I just thought that was fun!

This was Roman Polanski's first film based on someone else's work, and he actually didn't realize he was allowed to make changes from the novel. He only found out when he called the author saying he was having trouble finding a particular magazine issue that was referenced, forcing the author to awkwardly explain he just made it up. The result is perhaps the most faithful film adaptation ever made, down to how all the rooms are described.

Hutch is the one who knowingly sacrificed himself to try to save Rosemary; he was familiar with the ways of occult as presented in the film, knew they took his glove, knew they would try to stop him from revealing this knowledge to Rosemary, and lost his life fighting out of a coma just to get the book to her. He’s the hero in the film. His comment “you look awful” was out of concern for her health, not to demean her, and Rosemary took it the way it was meant, everyone else around her had been lying to her telling her she looked fine, when she looked really sick and needed real medical assistance. Rosemary ultimately got the baby she’d been yearning for so she was placated, lost to the materialistic world these people thrive on.

We studied this movie in college and it honestly has so much to it. It preys on the very real and very female specific fear of being pregnant. The horror of being pregnant is that, in many ways, there's just this THING inside you and you are so clueless and helpless about what's going on with your body that you have to rely on other people to tell you what to do. What if the people you're supposed to trust (your doctor, husband, neighbors) didn't have your best interests at heart? Such real and terrifying stuff. This movie takes it to the extreme with Satan worshipping, but the base fear is real. I tell you what, I watched this movie in a class with 20 other girls, and it was WEIRD VIBES walking out of there.

Well you can take it back to nature in some cases. For male Lions they have to leave for new territory and gain new ground and mating is their whole life and that involves fighting to the death. Lionesses in those areas get pregnant and hunt and raise babies whose girls stay with their moms and aunts forever. Whether you are human or a lion or many other mammals males and females are very different creatures. I guess my point is male or female, being a human, being another mammal, being alive, can be very scary.

What's really irritating about this movie is it shows, accurately, how women were treated back in the 1960s. My mother confirmed to me that if you had a "women's issue" that couldn't be found via physical medical test at the time (like endometriosis for example), it was all in your "pretty little head". No doctor would take you seriously and you genuinely risked getting put on dangerous medicines or sent to a mental asylum for "women's hysteria". My mother and grandmother would ell me how awfully they were treated by medical "professionals" back in those days; even though it still happens to this day, at least women are taken seriously when we say something is wrong. This movie is a great example of showing how the mother's instincts are correct and nobody (even outside of the cult) is willing to listen to her.

The book's author Ira Levin actually wrote a sequel, Son of Rosemary, shortly before his death in 1997. It was universally hated and it's typically believed he did it just to stop the publisher from claiming the rights to the story upon his death and getting someone else to do a cheap cash-in sequel. Still, it's worth at least looking up the plot summary.

Later at the first dinner Roman says he's seen Guy's play and knows all about his acting career. So did Guy know from the beginning all about Roman and Minnie Castevets plan all along or did another actor tell Guy they could help him with his career ? little trivia: Maurice Evans who plays Rosemary's friend Hutch is also the same actor who played Dr.Zaius in the Planet of the Apes movies .

(In fact, Gena Rowlands was working with Mia around the time he passed in "Another Woman"). Love Polanski, but I love Cassavetes just as much, and HIS movie of 1968, "Faces", was just as groundbreaking as "Rosemary's Baby". They had two completely directing styles, big deal. Cassavetes is PERFECT in that role, as he usually was when he acted, I couldn't imagine any other actor in that part.

If you listen she says "I told you we shouldn't have told her, I told you she wouldn't be open minded!" They told TerriI what they were doing and Terri committed suicide. I read the book twice and thought this observation of dream/hearing parrallel was fascinating.

I adore this film. Have always adored it since seeing it on VHS in 1991 at 14. One of my all time favorite films. The atmosphere and style, the incredible, (now) period piece NYC settings (it’s the Dakota, THE DAKOTA), the costumes and style, the music, the premise, the tension building, the ending (right from the novel, it’s not happy exactly, not exactly sad either, it’s just…RIGHT), Mia Farrow and Ruth Gordon’s incredible performances, expert direction and cinematography,the dialogue of a bygone era, the not-over-the top Devil worshippers😂because they’re grounded in realism, it makes the film much more believable. Just a brilliant, brilliant film. Polanski’s best IMO

To be fair, those of us who have survived raising a teen have at one point or another thought ‘Sure- it’s Satan’s spawn… but it’s MY Satan’s spawn.’🤷🏼♀️😂😩 I was far too young to see this 1st run/release, but can remember when we were able to- it creeped the bejeezuz out of me & everyone I knew. It’s STILL creepy lol Don’t know if you caught but her due date is June 28. The 6th mth of the yr, then 2-8= -6 and/or 2x8=16. Someone in the film is declared 66yo. Over & over again w the 6s😩 I also know Mia Farrow was an absolute trend setter/fashion icon w that Pixie haircut Guy gives her so much grief over, & it’s STILL a popular choice for women to this day🥰 You go Rosemary!😍 F U, Guy😜 One thing I love about the older films is they are psychological thrillers- they don’t need all the blood guts & gore to get in audiences’ heads. If you wanna see another fantastic example of this, reach even further back in yesteryear to Whatever Happened to Baby Jane with Bette Davis & Joan Crawford. Flippin’ fantastic!!! A couple of yrs ago Susan Sarandon & Jessica Lange did a mini series called Feud about the making of the film that was SO interesting, intriguing, & insightful about 2 of Hollywood’s last grand dames & tough old broads in all the right things ways. It could be a mini rabbit hole. A rabbit dent?🤔 A rabbit cave?😜 You get the picture. Always fun watching a flick w you!TY!! My husband: What are you laughing at??😆 Stay safe & love much💖

Oh, this is horror alright. Has a lot in common with movies like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, actually with the paranoia aspect to it. Just a different kind of paranoia. Its producer, William Castle is also a director of classics like 13 Ghosts (1960) and The House on Haunted Hill (1959), which I recommend checking out sometime. Roman Polanski is a pretty damn good director as well, though I don't recommend looking too deeply into his personal background unless you want certain unpleasant things taking up valuable head-space. Let's just say, "Forget it, Sam, it's Hollywood," and leave it there. Chinatown (1974) is great, btw.

Great reaction! My first time watching you. This is one of my top 10 movies ever. It’s so well done, great pacing, slow horror build-up, nothing gratuitous, and awesome music score. There’s nothing more frightening than our “normal” life turning out to be pure evil. The writer Shirley Jackson pulled that level of horror off in her short story The Lottery. Everyday life and neighbors turned deadly. Oh yeah, the general thought about Terry is that Roman told her what they wanted and rather than comply, Terry jumped. Which is why we heard Minnie reprimanding him later.

Enjoyed your hilarious and spot on reaction! Rosemary's Baby was a highly controversial but big box office draw in 1968. It played for months and months in many larger cities. Some people were disappointed the baby was never shown with several even claiming that it was in fact shown. Roman Polanski clarified this in an interview stating that during production there was some talk of showing the infant at the end. At the time in 1968 they decided special effects had not advanced to the point where creating and showing an infant devil may not only be unrealistic looking but possibly even laughable. So the decision was made to leave it to the viewers imagination. At the climax when Rosemary says "it can't be!" and Minnie answers "look at his hands!" followed by Laura Louise "his feet!" Those two descriptions alone are enough for viewers to visualize the infant.

To really understand the vibe of this movie as audiences would have perceived it in the year it came out, watch a few episodes of Mad Men, even the earlier 1962/63 episodes (since 1968 here wasn't all uniformly hippies and psychedelic summer of love, but it was still 1963-ish in spots, such as Guy and Ro's proper young marriage, setting up housekeeping in an older building, the precise pronunciation and manners all around. I was a small child in that period, so didn't understand all the adult concepts at the time, only later through movies and such, but I remember the look and feel. These were the days when a woman would get a bad diagnosis from the doctor via her husband (if he could bring himself to tell her), since the doctor would often break it to him, not her. The attitudes toward women were like they were children, and those were the kinder, more nurturing attitudes. Audiences at the time would have gotten the idea that things were being kept from Rosemary, but only through the ominous messages being conveyed in the storytelling would they have thought it implied something sinister, as if keeping her in the dark was common, but keeping her in the dark so she could birth the devil's spawn would have shocked audiences. And on a messaging level, this was all being used as a device to wake up audiences to the notion that the garden variety usurpation of a woman's free agency was the real devilish business, and her 'un-feminine' short hair and 'immodest' hemlines, plus the nudity, even to the part about her thwarting her husband's will and going through outside parties to hold her own course, being the sympathetic protagonist while doing these progressive things, helped cast the actions themselves in a positive light in the audience's subconscious. So some social commentary as the times, they were a-changin'. But yeah, lots of creepiness here. The overall idea of being caught in a web by satanists, betrayed on every hand. The chanting, and boisterous open confessions at the end of faith in the devil. The weird eyes in her 'dream' while being ravaged ("his father's eyes"). _Rosemary's Baby_ became THE movie encapsulating that whole genre, and all others attempting even similar subject matter were compared to it.... Well, for 5 years anyway, when the screen adaptation of Bill Blatty's book about a tween hit the theaters.... Oh, and watching this in the daytime -- good choice, Sam! 😃

At least the child was reunited with his mother, so a happy ending. Reminded me of the end quote in Kill Bill: "The lioness has rejoined her cub and all is well in the jungle." ;) But seriously, this movie chocked people when it came. This and The Exorcist (5 years later) was something else. The only thing that comes close recently is Ari Aster's Hereditary (2018). But I don't think that will be remembered that much in 50 years...

Mia Farrow was newly married to much-older Frank Sinatra while making the movie and he was insisting she leave & return to him. Polanski convinced her to stay and Sinatra had divorce papers served on her during filming. The apartment house is The Dakota, a famous building in Manhattan (where many celebs live and John Lennon was murdered.) This film had many good actors: Ruth Gordon (Oscar winner) John Cassavetes, Maurice Evans, Ralph Bellamy and Charles Grodin (Dr Hill- 1st film).

The novel this movie is based on was actually pretty important... along with The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty which came out around the same time, Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin basically revitalized the horror genre in the late 60s and early 70s after it had gotten stale and unpopular in the 50s. It's one of the most influential horror novels ever written. Levin also wrote a bunch of other books and plays that got adapted into successful films, including The Stepford Wives, The Boys From Brazil, and Deathtrap.

You were right there, feeling every emotion, every note of the movie. Your post movie rap is great. And how about checking out a movie from 1968? The more "modern" style of American movies really kicked in 67-68, with "Bonnie And Clyde", "The Graduate", this movie, "2001: A Space Odyssey", "Midnight Cowboy", etc. So I hope you continue to dip into the 60s and 70s movies, they broke so much ground and feel way more current in style to today than, say, 1950s movies were in the 1970s!

Although all of those specific movies are great and classic and worth seeing, I just was responding to the remark you had made about this being the earliest movie you had reacted to.
