@MissRockOn20 Faster internet speeds have led to high amounts of addiction rates in South Korea. Now the US is about to produce much faster internet speeds and I fear the same problem will arise here.
@MissRockOn20 Exactly so is not the internet both a curse and a blessing? A curse in that we are too dependent on it but a blessing in that it makes everyday life much more efficient.
I think its great that Smith has paid homage to Chameleon Street twice. If he gave credit to the original that would be cool but not exactly necessary. This ain't stealing, its sharing.
A Rubik's Cube aficionado recognizes that the starting pattern of the cube is easy to solve as it's not really scrambled very much, only enough to have a dot of color in the center of another color. It is very simple to unscramble such a cube! It was not fully scrambled, and does not represent any great intellectual feat for any job interviewee.
its not THAT similar...granite there are similarities that YOU pointed out specifically to a WHITE man of power and a STRUGGLING black man...but in this case Will Smith's charactor in his show, was not struggling. And in the Movie Will Smith had to add a cinimatic feel to the life of the gentleman he was playing...other wise it would have been a documentary...so im sure that the Rubik's Cube event wasn't the onyl thing that was fabricated in the movie...Sir but your video was midley intertaining
There is a suggestion in this film that Will Smith's character has never attempted to solve a rubik's cube prior to this moment. Anyone who has solved a rubik's cube knows that it would be impossible to complete it first time.
@lax4444 i have always wanted to know how to do it though. I mean I heard that mathematical minded people are really good at solving a rubiks cube puzzle, but I don't understand how. I know how a cube works, but how would you go about figuring out how to get all colors to one side each?
@SAOrules lol u dont to need to have a mathematical mind to learn how o solve a cube im horrible at math and i can solve one in almost under a minute the cubes use algorethems to solve the sides and u dont do it side my side u work from the bottom up or down lol so if u have any free time check out this guy danbrown thats were i learned its pretty easy once u get the hang of it and it looks really cool when u can do one lol
@SAOrules - You don't need to know anything about math at all, to be able to solve the rubik's cube. Once you learn, it's very easy. Then, it's all about getting faster.
Solving the rubik's cube as a way to establish a character's inteligence is hardly a new idea, and not limited to Will Smith. It is also used in Seinfeld and the Simpsons for example.
i primi 2 sono falsi xDD solo nell ultimo quello del film alla ricerca della felicità lo fadavvero il cubo..... comunque come si chiama la canzone??? nome's song??
@Tortak39 What method do you use to orient the last layer then? There are probably some alghoritms for it, but none as good as OLL, even if you 1-4 look it, stop the bullshit plxz ;P
@Tortak39 - You get 10 to 20 seconds without knowing any of the OLL's? You're full of shit. I know full OLL and PLL, and my best time after a year of solving is only 13 seconds.
And, no one who solves would actually say they don't know extended cross. That doesn't even matter. You've been watching videos and picking up terms from them. I'm going to check out your channel and see if you have any solve videos.
@coolfrog23 - He actually learned from some Chinese guy, how to solve it using the beginner's method, just for this movie. He was actually solving it, but he sucks.
WILL (power of self) SMITH (one who creates useful objects from basic materials) . The man is a perception wielder and using your freewill to do so. He is owned by whichever studio owns him, probably Paramount since they own the majority of scientology slaves. The Rubix cube is a programming item - this is why you are seeing the repetitive use of it. His "job" is to mold your perception and as you can see he is good at it. If he wasn't, you'd see some public controversy surrounding him.
the 3x3 cube is the most popular toy and /or puzzle of all times is strange how it haven't been used more often since look so cliche and is a scene that had already worked.
they needed to get the guy impressed some how and will brought the idea to the table,
keep in mind the guy said. noboby can solve it, which implies the movie is set back in at least the 80' when not many people knew how to.
there is no plot from no evil corporation or big studios interests behind this.
@97AcuraEL1 no the movie is called "The Pursuit of Happyness" with a Y if you see the movie you will know why at least if you are paying attention, but you are right the correct spelling would be Happiness.
i think in fresh prince and the first clip the cube is 'rigged' for an easy solve but as far as i can see in the pursuit of happiness he is using the petrus method and doing a legitimate solve.
@Angel8795 - He isn't using petrus, hahaha.... he learned the beginner's method from some Chinese guy just for the movie. Will Smith, otherwise, knows nothing about cubes.
hah, Will smitt can't do it under a minute, and neither can you. If you really know how to a R-cube which I do, then you would know that the cube was already half done.
People like you can only be described as laughable. Firstly, I was just trying to tell people that he did it in under a minute because it would probably be even more of a surprise to those that thought two minutes was an achievement for him. Secondly, it doesn't take the type of sad person that learns how to solve a Rubik's cube just so that he can try to casually boast about it on you tube, to see that the cube was completely muddled up when he started it.
The fact that people on the internet have a strong tendency to lie in an effort to sound better to others, doesn't help your claim that you can solve a Rubik's cube in under a minute. Finally,there is apsoloutly no point what so ever of argueing on the internet. The only reason that I said something was that I hadn't done any writing more that sentence long comments to my friends on facebook for a while.
People like you who try to act smart but fail miserably because you're extremely dumb. Am I supposed to feel offended when you say that I learned a Rubik's cube just to boast about it on Youtube? I learned how to do a Rubik's Cube because I wanted to. Secondly, who says he can do it under a minute to surprise people. That is the saddest and lamest escuse you can come up with? Pathetic
I have to say. He is no "desperate black man" in the fresh prince. If anything, the princeton guy is the desperate one... with the whole "cool" thing, this has really been taken out of context. As for pursuit of happyness... it puts it into a social and time context, because the rubik's cube had just come out and was a large part of "corporate time wasting".
I'm sorry but it just seems like the person narrating in the video is just jealous that Will Smith can solve the Rubik's cube, i mean enough with the hating man!
if an idea works once then do it again..thats how hollywood works but i think this is something too small to be worried about. lets consider all the huge things stolen like almost complete stories in general. smith is a magnificant actor who got an idea from a movie he enjoys and made it better (twice)
I know about the interview with chris gardener and how he said the rubiks cube thing never actually happened, but I've read some stories online that point towards it actually happening although I could be mistaken
Wait wait wait, let me get this straight you're blaming Will Smith for the fact that this has happened? I just want to clarify that Will Smith isnt the writer or the producer to The Fresh Prince and that The Pursuit of Happiness is based on a true story so the rubiks cube scene in that movie actually happened. The fact that Will Smith played both rolls is coincidental
I dont get the point of this video, is the narrator trying to say Will copies Chameleon Street too much? To me it just looks like Will likes to pay tribute
this was the 80s though, when they were the new toys around. it would be like seeing a sudoku or something (even though that is quite unlikely too) ha
the narrator got it wrong when he said the parallels of a young black man trying to impress a white man. i saw this episode of fresh prince. Will was being himself and didn't care to impress the dean. and he got accepted for being so unique.
Your statement is fundamentally correct, in that the "Fresh Prince" character could care less about getting admitted, which is also perhaps a tragic situation in itself.
But "unique at Princeton" do you mean black? That's for darn sure. Princeton has only a 9% black student population.
When I saw the pursuit of happyness I remembered have seen this scene in fresh prince. Surprised that this was from a movie even before that. I think the point of the scene is that it can be very difficult as an intelligent under privledged black man to convey your brilliance and the rubiks cube is like a window into the man's inate intellect since it requires raw intelligence to solve. (I mean it doesn't really, most people learn a sequence of moves to solve it but that's the idea anyway.)
The problem with the second example is that it was based on a true story, and it actually happened. So in essence, couldn't Wendell B. Harris Jr. have heard of this miraculous story and copied it for his own fame? Considering this film came out after the events portrayed in The Pursuit of Happiness.
No, as I state in the video, the Rubik's scene NEVER happened in the real life events "Pursuit of Happiness" this is pure Hollywood. Chris Gardner, in an interview, denied it ever happened.
He probably did use the concept from the Chameleon St. movie, what's your point? Or did you stop to think that Will Smith is actually really good at Rubiks Cubes, so he decided to use it in the movies. Even if that is not the case, who cares if he copied the other movie? It's not like he took the movie and called it his own, hes a great actor.
@flintmi you actually never made a piont you need to draw a conclusion here. what are you tryin to say with this video? im nottrying to be offensive in the least im tryign to understand where you are coming from.
Well, doing it in a minute is not impressive to people who practice solving them, but to the average person who doesn't solve them, solving it at all is impressive.
If you say will smith I don't automatically think of the rubix cube. He may have used it twice, the big and small screen repestively. Big deal. Not too many people saw chamelon street, maybe because, the movie sucked. Will smith has mastered Movies, TV and rapping. He has made millions and its definately not for doing a rubic cube scene.
It's a good plot device for the film medium. It's a quick scene, has action, doesn't need much dialogue, nobody has to change positions, no fancy props, everyone knows and identifies with the cube, etc. It probably can't be used again w/o jumping the shark, but Smith got it in just before then.
wow. The fix in the first clip is completly fake. You could telll by the way it was messed up.. If u notice it was already it the T shape. lol. I can fix the Rubiks cube easily. lol
When Will Smith rap I did not see a rubic cube. The Pursuit of happiness is a true story. Mr Gardner has spoke about his r cube exploits. Will used the cube once in his tv show. Intresting video wrong thesis
errrr. you made this video and went through all this trouble just to say Will Smith copied off of that chameleon street show? thats not event he point because it doesnt matter where he got the idea to do that in a show or movie because that chameleon guy probably didnt solve it himself. Will Smith knows how to solve a Rubik's cube so dont hate
Um, no they aren't. That's just melodramaticism. There are countless attributes that are able to define us for good or bad, originality is just one of them.
but theyre not YOURE ideas and the ideas of the people he stole it from arent really that bent out of shape about it or else we would have heard about it.
Agreed. And that's the big metaphor here. I don't know why you're being commented down. That's the point, to get a job that black folks don't normally have (due to racism) movies like this show what lengths people have to go through to prove themselves. That's the brilliance of Chameleon Street. He fooled everyone over and over and was smarter than people who had 10x his education.
he doesn actually solve it in any of them. it doesnt matter how scrambled it is, but he seems to think it does in 'the persuit of happiness'. thats kind of gay how he uses the same idea in two features but doesnt actually even know how to do it.
Will Smith DOES know how to solve a Rubik's cube and he does actually solve it in the movie "The Pursuit of Happiness" but in this clip most of the scene is cut out. In the movie you can tell he is actually solving it
your saying these things because you believe solving a rubix cube is hard to do...its not..if 6 year olds are doing it in less than a minute it should tell you something.
plus the darn things come with instructions nowadays
I can do them to I've seen 3 yr olds do them. I didn't know they came with instructions now when I got mine I just threw everything else away it may have come with a stand idk lol
He got the idea from another film, and...?

its not called stealing its called a "quote"
stud2851 3 years ago 3
Quoting once is fine. Twice is pushing. Quoting twice by same actor for the same purpose is...

@flintmi will smith can actually do it in under a minute so its not like he is just pretending as a joke

@flintmi
Neither scene is "quoting". No credit was given to the original film. It's a direct ripoff, twice.

He probably did use the concept from the Chameleon St. movie, what's your point? Or did you stop to think that Will Smith is actually really good at Rubiks Cubes, so he decided to use it in the movies. Even if that is not the case, who cares if he copied the other movie? It's not like he took the movie and called it his own, hes a great actor.

@H3164 Will smith sucks cock at rubik's cubes, if you knew anything about cubes, you would know this.

Well, doing it in a minute is not impressive to people who practice solving them, but to the average person who doesn't solve them, solving it at all is impressive.

If you say will smith I don't automatically think of the rubix cube. He may have used it twice, the big and small screen repestively. Big deal. Not too many people saw chamelon street, maybe because, the movie sucked. Will smith has mastered Movies, TV and rapping. He has made millions and its definately not for doing a rubic cube scene.
bondboy67 3 years ago
wow, how is that even considered a concept? Im pretty sure that has appeared in countless shows...
and rubiks arent hard when someone tells you the alogrithms... someone who can solve them without knowing those is made of fucking win.

larssonk22 3 years ago
Just solving a cube on camera. No big thing. Solving the cube to get ahead with your boss. That's a plot device.
Smith apparently stole it. TWICE.
flintmi 3 years ago
It's a good plot device for the film medium. It's a quick scene, has action, doesn't need much dialogue, nobody has to change positions, no fancy props, everyone knows and identifies with the cube, etc. It probably can't be used again w/o jumping the shark, but Smith got it in just before then.

When Will Smith rap I did not see a rubic cube. The Pursuit of happiness is a true story. Mr Gardner has spoke about his r cube exploits. Will used the cube once in his tv show. Intresting video wrong thesis

Please send us a link to where Mr. Gardner spoke about how he used a Rubik's cube to further advance his career.
flintmi 3 years ago
errrr. you made this video and went through all this trouble just to say Will Smith copied off of that chameleon street show? thats not event he point because it doesnt matter where he got the idea to do that in a show or movie because that chameleon guy probably didnt solve it himself. Will Smith knows how to solve a Rubik's cube so dont hate

"The Pursuit of Happyness" is a true story though so it wouldnt be based off "Chameleon Street".

luno44 3 years ago 2
Agreed. And that's the big metaphor here. I don't know why you're being commented down. That's the point, to get a job that black folks don't normally have (due to racism) movies like this show what lengths people have to go through to prove themselves. That's the brilliance of Chameleon Street. He fooled everyone over and over and was smarter than people who had 10x his education.
flintmi 3 years ago
he doesn actually solve it in any of them. it doesnt matter how scrambled it is, but he seems to think it does in 'the persuit of happiness'. thats kind of gay how he uses the same idea in two features but doesnt actually even know how to do it.
Chocaholic76 3 years ago
Will Smith actually learned to solve it for Pursuit of Happyness!
He solved it LBL, but a LOT of its cut out in the movie.
maddmatt361 3 years ago
Will Smith DOES know how to solve a Rubik's cube and he does actually solve it in the movie "The Pursuit of Happiness" but in this clip most of the scene is cut out. In the movie you can tell he is actually solving it

your saying these things because you believe solving a rubix cube is hard to do...its not..if 6 year olds are doing it in less than a minute it should tell you something.
plus the darn things come with instructions nowadays
tommybrown2068 3 years ago
i dont believe solving a rubix cube is hard to do, i actually can solve a rubix cube mate so dont jump to conclusions so easily.
Chocaholic76 3 years ago
I can do them to I've seen 3 yr olds do them. I didn't know they came with instructions now when I got mine I just threw everything else away it may have come with a stand idk lol
