Will Smith Becomes a Men in Black | Men in Black

"A person is smart, people are not" Thus is the blight of social media.

I’m a little worried J doesn’t know he can just use half of the pencil to write.

“You sure you don’t want some coffee?” Love that bit. So subtle yet so effective. Kay didn’t need to prove anything. Jay just needed to see for himself that Kay was telling the truth.

“Your exactly what we have come to expect from government training” Oh I’m picking up some subtle messaging there.

I watch this scene a lot. I like how he critically thinks while everyone else sort of just reacts. K had already made his decision that he wanted J long before he even showed up for the tryout. This was more of a formality and the other guys were just there to sort of take up space while they analyzed J.

"Awww, you gave the tall man some flowers" got me rolling 😅🤣

I love that subtle dig Zed gives the other applicants when he says, "You're everything we've come to expect from years of government training". Unlike Jay, those guys are a bunch of unthinking yes men who will shoot first and ask questions later.

That last part is so important. "Is it worth it?" "Oh yeah. If you are strong enough." Probably the best answer he could have got.

In the novelization of the film, Agent K confirmed that everything James Edwards said about the alien firing range was true.

This movie is just one of those gems... no matter how many times you see it, after a few years, that glimmer of brilliance shines still.

Wonder how much that front door agent gets paid.

That 1500, 500, 15 minutes ago line is fabulous screenwriting.

I love how every aspect of this test is to gauge how aware you are of suspicious things that are uncanny and don't seem quite right yet have many excuses to be explained as normal or just something no one really thought through. Likewise the only reasonable options that present themselves to you are things that make you seem unusual, awkward, or dumb. You're taught from the very beginning to see things for what they really are and take the most obvious route that leads to a solution even if it makes you look strange.

I’ve always loved this scene, will smiths character doesn’t see past the aliens , they were just sneezing etc, showing no prejudice, but brings up the white girl.

Tommy Lee Jones looks so young-old here.

8:19 - One of the most profound lines of all time in one of the silliest movies ever made.

🎶 "Here come the Men in Black. Galaxy defenders!"🎶

I'd either be the one who writes on my knee, pulls the table closer, or goes and sits on the floor next to the table. 🤣

Little by little you discover K's backstory. He was some youngster going to give flowers to his date (the woman he spies on thru satellite). By dumb luck he discovers the alien and MiB and makes the decision to drop his whole life and join.

It's not until you see the ending of MIB 3, do you really understand why he was choose..
