"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."--John 15:13. How many times did Walt call Tao his friend? Walt was a good Christian, but had no time for the trappings of the church.
Thank you! My dad fought in a war. He came home a changed man. He struggled a lot. I wish he was still here. ✌❤✌
Notice the screen at the confessional and the screen of the security door in Walt's home. He gave his true confessional to Tao, the person who needed to hear it most.
Gran Torino is one of Clint Eastwood's best films.
Oh my gosh that is so true and not something I registered at the time but you’re absolutely right!!
What a beautiful touch!
He also fell with his arms out making a cross shape when he was shot.
Reaching
Such a powerful movie...no greater love than for a man to lay down his life for others
Saw title, saw it's Joob.. .oh buddy, you are in for tears.
Let’s freaking goooo!!
Tear ducts at the ready 🙌
A great onion movie. Lots of onions. Onions, onions, onions.
What's onions mean?
10:00 The banter between Walt and the barber is just how men of their generation talked to each other. It's not uncommon, but it can take you by surprise if you're not aware they are already friends. Trash talking each other is pretty common - after a mutual respect and friendship is established.
Even now days I'm a Millennial and this is how me and my guy friends talk to each other just with updated modern insults/vocabulary.
@@Wrathlon Same.
Yea I'm 32 my friend group talk to each h other this way friends
In Australian vernacular, depending on the circumstances of course, even calling someone the C-bomb is often a sign of affection. It can of course be a grave insult, just depends on the tone and the relationship you have with the person. My father is slightly older than Clint Eastwood, war vet, still living independently, nice young Hmong lady neighbor keeps him well fed and looks out for him.Respectable and honorable people.
First up I would like to say that you are a very special person. This week has been a struggle with the death of my friend and you just made me think hard about life and death with your comments about funerals. Your reactions are always so thoughtful and pure. You always have such a wise option and always thought provoking. Thank you Jade for being so special
I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your friend! I hope you are being gentle to yourself in these difficult times!!
And thank you so much for your beautiful words!! ❤
Loved this. From 34:30 on when Jade does her summary it's as genuine as reactions get. This movie struck a nerve with so many people and Jade's reaction was inspired on so many levels. Thank you for sharing something raw and intimate.
Aww I’m so glad you enjoyed!! Thank you for your kind words!
Wow. Your reaction really touched me. Excellent film. Clint is a real man. All of his work is exceptional. Acting or directing. Thank you for your vulnerability.
Same her reaction was something else
Fun fact, the white “gangster” that gets ran off is actually Clint Eastwood’s son! 😂😂 Wasn’t until years after this movie got released I learned that.
Oh wow I didn’t know that either that’s such a funny cameo!!
I didn't know that until now
Same here. Although in my defense, Scott Eastwood was practically unknown at the time but damn, I should’ve known just by the face lol
anthonydelossantos7576 YES!!! Like father, like son!
Yes but he went by his mother's maiden name Reeves, he wanted to make it himself and not off of his father's name, it wasn't till about suicide squad he started using Eastwood, and damn this is such a good movie
This film can sneak up and gut you in the feels. I agree about the food looking so good, definitely got my stomach growling
Miss Joob , you have such a gentle heart ,glad to see you again..
Awww thank you so much!! 🥹
You’re so lovely and kind ❤
15:16 "Oh, *hot damn* I'm hungry"
The way you delivered that line was absolutely priceless 😂
Love you, Jade, keep up the awesome content! 🙂👍Also, happy birthday to your grandmum.
I would’ve gone to TOWN on that plate! 😅
Thank you so much!! ❤😊
One thing they never do mention in this movie is that the Hmong people have HUGE reverence and respect for the elderly. That culture does not tolerate disrespect of elders. That is one of the reasons that when Walt shows up, the only person who says anything about it is the grandmother. Nobody younger would dare.
I used to bring my grandmother to get her nails done, and the Hmong ladies at the salon would always fight over who got to do her nails, and half the time they tried to stop us from paying. They legit considered it a privilege.
Aww so beautiful!! Yes many Asian cultures have deep-rooted respect for elders and it's so sweet! I try to always give a warm smile to elderly people as I pass by to show that my generation isn't all poopy hahaha, it's not much but it's something 😊🥹
Girls: Fake compliments.
Guys: Fake insults.
It's real.
I can't get enough to watch how you react to movies - so heartwarming...thank you
Aww thank you so much I’m so glad you enjoyed!! 🙌
Clint's character is a great example of humanity. We are like any other animal that fears those different from us because at one point different meant death. Someone who looked different might have been an invading force trying to slaughter your tribe and take your lands, and still sometimes does though it isn't that simple anymore. We all get stereotypes and generalizations we believe about others even if we try not to. Once Walt gets to know Sue he starts seeing her as a person not as a caricature. This opens him to seeing other people outside of himself and the small circle of people he tolerates.
32:58 - Him on the ground with his body in the shape of a cross was an intentional directing choice by Clint Eastwood. Obviously to parallel Jesus dying on the cross to save us from our sins from self sacrifice.
The world needs more people like you. Kind caring and compassionate. Great review.
Aww this is so incredibly kind thank you so much 🥹❤️
Yeah I love her reactions
He wasnt racist... he said things that people find offensive and label as racist... but this is a masterclass in things people consider racist and actually BEING a racist.
Nicely put. The vast majority of young reactors label Walt a racist and miss the whole point of the film. Words themselves don't mean anything which is why cancelling people is sick. It's the feeling or sentiment behind the words that tell you who the man is. There is no hatred in Walt.
exactly
He absolutely was a racist. The entire point of the film is to show the story arc of a racist realising that his racism is wrong.
@@aradia1379 Then why did his obituary say the things it did genius? It unintentionally highlights how morons seeking victimhood have hijacked the word racist/ism and stripped it of the most important element.... CONTEXT. You don't understand what racism is but it isn't your fault. You have been brainwashed into it. Tricked into seeing it everywhere. You were taught that if a person were to use the same words, terms, or phrases that a legitimate racist individual uses, then that person is also a racist. That is not the case. It is a classic "Everyone that is racist says XXX, therefore everyone who says XXX is a racist. That is false. "Everyone that is racist says XXX" might be true, but "Everyone who says XXX is not a racist" is true at the same time. Similar to a mob of deplorable subhuman dbags loading up in a truck and jumping out on the first black person the see with bats screaming "Fk u Nxxxer!" is not the same as a white kid in college singing the words "Fk u Nxxxa!" along with a King Von song are not the same.
Eastwood's son plays the guy who tries to sound like a home-boy and gets told off by Eastwood rescues his neighbour from the three black dudes
The music is done by Eastwood too
When Walt has "Toad" working on homes around the neighborhood, not only is Walt helping to make the neighborhood better (and Tao earning Walt's respect), but also, Walt is earning the respect of those in the neighborhood by being "selfless". Yes, Tao is obligated to "work" for Walt, and everyone likely knows that, but none of the tasks Walt is having Tao do benefit himself directly.
Say what you want about Walt's character (in the movie, I mean).... yes, he IS abrasive and "bigoted", but if you consider the generation he was raised in, that's not surprising. However, he still cares about others in his own way. Once you get passed that abrasiveness (like Sue did, and later, Tao) and can ignore the bigoted terminology he uses, you'll find that Walt is actually a pretty decent person, albeit with lots of demons and more than a few flaws. But overall, he's still a "decent person".
THAT, I think, is what has been lost over the last few decades. The ability to look passed a person's flaws and see the decency underneath. And no, I'm not saying that it's a problem with "the youth of today". If anything, it's pervasive among every generation living right now. The youth of today are no different, mindset wise, than my generation was at that age. It's just that, as people get older, they tend to forget what it was like to be that age. I count myself lucky in that I haven't forgotten that. Older people need to be reminded that we were all "young and dumb" once, but also, young people need to realize that older people "have been there, and *might* have some advice worth considering".
21:45 - Heh, did you notice how Walt smiled when Tao told him that? Look at it again, because he definitely smiled.
23:30 - It's more complicated than that..... what Walt is trying to get Tao to understand is that, once men have a rapport with one another, they toss friendly insults at one another as a way to show friendship. The key word there is "friendly". Which.... Tao is about to learn (the hard way) (in this scene). I have some friends (male, of course) that I can call the worst names in the book, and they know it is a way for me to show affection to them. They can (and usually do) return even worse "insults", because it's expected. But let someone who isn't a friends try that... and they'll have both of us to deal with. But the main thing is to first, build up that rapport, that friendship, that trust... because men may have "strange ways of displaying affection to one another", but once that bond has been built, you're no longer a friend, you're FAMILY.
24:30 - Walt is 100% right with "You can tell a lot about a man by his handshake." The last thing you want to do, if you want a man to respect you, is give a "limp fish" kind of handshake. A firm grip (but not "too firm") will show that you're confident in yourself, but not "arrogant" (the "limp fish" grip) or (worse) "insecure" (weak grip). There's also the "I want to show dominance by trying to break your hand" grip, which displays both arrogance AND insecurity. If you look for these in movies when handshakes are shown, you'll see exactly what I mean, and will be able to tell them apart pretty easily.
26:10 - Notice how Walt didn't say "If you need (insert tool here), I'll get it for you.", he said, "You go in my garage and get (it)." Walt completely trusts Tao now.
27:10 - Think back to what Walt said to the priest..... "We didn't call the police." So, while Walt isn't in a war, he IS in a war zone (to a point). The second violence came to where he was, he didn't panic, he acted. He grabbed his own weapon and went to investigate. The punks drove off, and Walt immediately (without concern for his own safety, mind you) went to see if Tao and his family were injured. This is what the priest didn't understand about Walt. When "bad things happen", Walt reacted. He didn't "freeze", or "hide", or "run away".... he went to help. In many cases, it's people who have been traumatized the worst that are able to react the quickest to a dangerous situation. Of course, that depends greatly on the individual. But consider, what would the priest have done in that situation? Run away? Dive for cover and only phone for help once the danger had passed? He certainly wouldn't have done what Walt did, of that I have no doubt.
31:45 - The worst part about this is that while HE knows he'll never see Daisy again, Daisy has no idea what's about to happen, nor that she'll never see him again. She'll think he left her, abandoned her, and she'll never understand why.
33:00 - Walt had seen his medical reports. He tried to call his sons about it, but they didn't have time to hear it. Walt knew he was dying, and given all of the horrible things he had done (in the war, mostly, but also in being alienated from his own sons due to being unable to communicate with them), he wanted his death to have meaning. What better way (in Walt's mind) than to sacrifice himself for his "new family" (Tao and Sue), so that those who had hurt them would be sent to prison and no longer be a threat to them. Walt literally gave his life to save the only two people he felt truly loved and understood him (after his wife had died).
A wonderful analysis and a great read. Thank you for this!
@@damon6126 Thank you, both for the compliment, and for taking the time to read that miniature novel. ;)
I’ve seen this movie several times.
Yet you had me tearing watching your reaction.
It’s a great film from the iconic Clint Eastwood. Thx
Walt was dying, gave his confession and sacrificed himself for Tao and Sue.
This is a movie that hits hard on me, bc it makes me think of my grandpa.
I mean, unlike Walt, he was really serious about everything and very respectful to everyone, but he also was this kind of man who's hard on the outside and really sweet when ready to open up a little.
I remember myself crying at the movies but after that I think I kind of repressed my memories about its existence, but every time I randomly find it on the TV or Netflix or whatever, I remember the bittersweet and heartwarming feeling I had the first time and can't help but to watch it.
To be offended is a choice. Sue chooses to not be offended, and a beautiful friendship developes.
Depends on the situation honestly.
FR
Some things just get lost in translation when they are recorded and posted to the internet. I grew up in the 80s and 90s. I'm a blue eyed, blonde haired white dude and my best friend was black and his family would make hilariously racist jokes at me all the time. It was all in good fun. They also brought me to the Black Picnic in Salem a few times and it was a blast.
Being treated like an equal is something people should take pride in. Being treated with pity, is the worst insult there is.
When he reaches for his lighter, he's saying the prayer "Hail Mary", (very important to Roman Catholics) so he finally really did pray.
If you'll notice, when the little girl comes over and asks about getting the wasp nest removed from underneath their porch she calls him "Toad," just like Walt has been calling him (Tao).
I remember watching this movie as a 9 year old when it came out. The scene with Sue walking through the front door was like a horror movie to me and I ran out of the room. Walt knew that he wasn't doing well, and he made the ultimate sacrifice for his new friends Thao and Sue. His family was absolutely horrible and selfish.
I have to say that this is one of my favorite films, it's raw and in your face but has soft emotional undertones. Basically it is like real life, there's what is on the surface but there's undercurrents that you can't see that make the responses to how people move through life.
Love your reaction to this great movie. it's one of my favorite films.
It was absolutely beautiful I loved it!!
I can totally see why this would be an all time fave 🙌
This movie is truly great. It is a wonderful redemption story. The world needs more movies like this.
This is a tough one for some people to watch, but it is a beautiful story, tragic but in the end full of hope. Connecting with people is such an important part of life. I enjoyed rewatching this one with you, MJ. Thanks for sharing it. 🙂
Awww you cried as much as I did, this film always touches me sooo deeply in my heart
Loved this reaction and your sweet and thoughtful concluding comments. You bring such a positive and incredibly kind energy to all your reactions and it’s very special. Thank you!
I love the scene of Walt teaching the kid how men talk to one another because it's so true.
A real man would never call someone with a mental disability a 'ray-tard', they would only ever call their friend that.
Insults are how guys can comfortably express friendship without the worry of it sounding gay.
Beautiful reaction Jade! Love your emotional reactions!😍 You're a beautiful person!
Aww thank you so much!! 🥹
He most powerful clint n sometimes sadly overlooked ...always brings a tear
I love your reaction. You are by far my favorite reactor on TH-cam. I love your heart :)
Awww thank you so very much!! 🥹❤️
The "side part" was pure gold:)
I wanted to encourage you. You have been gifted with a lovely voice and you could probably be quite successful doing voiceover work, narration, reading books. You also have such a lovely personality and a beautiful smile.
Love your reactions. You seem like a very sweet young lady. Jesus loves you! Take care!
I can always rely on you to review just the right movies to get the emotions going. Your comment about your Grandma really resonated with me as it made me think about my Papa who just the love of his life (my Grandma) a couple of months ago. Definitely will be reaching out to him soon!
Another lovely reaction. I really enjoy your commentary and insights. This is a powerful film. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so very much!! 🥹
CE was my (late) wife's very favorite and really loved all of his pix. My Auntie (also late) was a film/TV actress from the early-50s to the mid-60s and worked w/ Eastwood a couple of times on the "Rawhide" western television series. (It's possible that she may have given him his first on-screen kiss; that can't be too bad.)
Loved your reaction. Best wishes from an old retired Army vet in Oregon, USA.
Thank you for watching!! All my love to you, you old retired Army Vet! ❤️
You really should watch the same grumpy old man Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman in Million Dollar Baby 😢😢😢
I Would look into that film
Thank you for the great suggestion!! 🙌
@oDv. Absolutely just have tissues close by.
I wholeheartedly second this!
Great reaction to a wonderful movie with so much depth, love and learning. It shows we can all change/adjust our thoughts. Very good insight, it takes some a while to figure out he went there to die and get that gang arrested and away from his friends. Your true emotions were great young lady.
Awsome reaction always. And Happy Birthday to your grandmother this year✌️
Thank you so much and yes! This June 🎉
I totally Identify with Walt's character..My kids avoid me because I've been so tough on them for messing up thier lives after I worked so hard to make it good for them. Just like Walt's kids, they only call when they want something, And I tounge-lash 'em for that, too. Plus I live in a small town where we all talk to each other like he and the barber do. It's so cool how thr Hmongs became a 2nd family. The lessons Thao learned from him will stick for life..Along with the Gran Torino. One in that condition-- about $70,000 at an auction. They were fast, agile, great-looking cars-- So comfortable you could drive across the state with no road fatigue!
I absolutely loved your reactions. Keep it up. Thank you.
Gave this a like before even watching. I can't wait to see your reaction!
A very powerful movie ... One of my favorable Clint Eastwood roles
After enjoying his movies since the 1970's, what really struck me is how old he is today
....reminds me of how old I am... 😮
Hey Joob, it’s been while. I’ve missed your honest empathetic reactions. You picked a good one here to bring out the feels.
Aww thank you so very much ❤
The term 'racist' is thrown around so much now, that young people don't even know what a racist is. They now believe that using slang language is 'racism'. If you notice, Walt uses that same slang with the barber and the construction supervisor who are friends of his. Walt is skeptical of people he doesn't know, including the priest. Walt judged people on their actions, not their race. A racist judges people on their race.
Great reaction! You caught it earlier than most other reactors that he was saying his goodbyes before he went to the gang.
Till the next one (with waterproof mascara) and all the best from the Netherlands!
Hahaha my mascara went out of control o dear 😂😂
And thank you so much!! I thought it was such a clever choice and I liked that that is how it went!!
Clint is like good wine, the more he gets old the more he gets good. Beautiful movie 😎
I have a lot of love for this movie. I think it gets better with every viewing.
I loved it so much more than I expected to! What a beautiful film that will always stand the test of time!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, it's a beautiful movie, i hope you had a great conversation with your grandma!!! 👍😊💖
It was such an incredible film I’m so glad to have watched it!!
And yes it was good, we organised getting lunch together this week ❤
@@MovieJoob That's fantastic, I know you mentioned she's getting on so it's best to spend some good time with her, grandparents are full of wonderful lessons!!!!?!!
@@MovieJoob Yeah I'm glad you did too, I know you had a hard time with the racism and I think that the film shows that older more experienced people may generalize and say harsh things, but it also depicts how that ultimately that isn't the sum of their parts, there's a lot more in there and there's reasons and goodness and genuinely decent hearts when it gets down to it!!! I've seen it myself from extended family in the hills of Kentucky at a gas station where the attendant wasn't being very nice to a black guy and his family and my uncle who is from the hills of Kentucky, but served in Vietnam with some black guys and was good friends with them, decided to nearly dismantle this guy's station if he didn't show this black family some manners, and Frank was about as hillbilly as they come, but he was a Marine sniper in Nam with black friends and he lost some of them and he was not gonna put up with that racist hillbilly bullshit in his town!!! I was a kid and I'll never forget that as long as I live!!! Oh did you know the white kid walking down the street with Sue was Clint's son Scott Eastwood???
Love your reaction jade. You're so empathetic. This is a really good movie. I'm glad you finally watched it.
Awww thank you so very much!! ❤
That "you shut the FUCK up" at the end was personal
Thank you for a beautiful reaction to a great film. All my best to you and your wonderful grandma.
Thank you so very much!! I had lunch with her this week and it was lovely!
And we've got her party all booked in for her 90th in June 🥳
@@MovieJoobHow wonderful! I know she'll love the time spent with everyone. 😊
Fantastic review…well said and understood.
Thank you so very much!!
As both an actor and director, I think this is Clint Eastwood's masterwork.
His other best movies (best first):
- "Absolute Power" (1997)
- "A Perfect World" (1993)
- "Where Eagles Dare" (1968) WW2 espionage action, from a book by Alister MacLean
- "Kelly's Heroes" (1970) WW2 action comedy
- "The Eiger Sanction" (1975) espionage action
- "The Outlaw Josey Wales" (1976) western
- the "Dirty Harry" series (5 movies starting 1971)
- "Pale Rider" (1985) western
- "Heartbreak Ridge" (1986) military drama
- "Blood Work" (2002) detective mystery/thriller
As a director only:
- "American Sniper" (2014) you already watched
- "Flags of Our Fathers" (2006) WW2 true story, good choice for Memorial Day (last weekend in May)
- "Letters from Iwo Jima" (2006) companion to "Flags of Our Fathers" from the Japanese perspective. Japanese with English subtitles
- "Sully" (2016) true story w/ Tom Hanks
You forgot probably the best "modern" Western.... "Unforgiven."
@@mikeeckel2807 You beat me to it :)
Great reaction like always, love this movie, Love watching people reaction to this movie. They hate Walt from the start at the end they're crying. You’ll notice that Walt insulted everyone. The barber, the construction guy, the 3 black guys, the guy with Sue, (which was actually his son, Scott Eastwood.) Walt gives a half-hearted confession to the priest, to honor his wife’s request that he do so, but he give his REAL confession to Thao. It’s even framed with them talking through a screen, just like a confessional. There are some fun-facts about this movie. Walt's dog, Daisy, is Clint Eastwood's beloved family retriever in real life. Clint Eastwood's character's name, Walt Kowalski, is the real name of legendary wrestler Walter 'Killer' Kowalski. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for another lovely reaction. This movie continues to find new audiences.
I’m so glad I experienced this movie!! I hope it continues to find new audiences all throughout time!
It has such a poignant message ❤
Movies like this are worth watching over and over again, as they always have lessons to be learned that we are so easy to forget. ❤
Lessons and messages like this one is so timeless and wonderful and is such an important watch!
I’m so glad I experienced it! ❤
I been binge watching your reactions there great , have u seen once were warriors its a nz film older film but still well known
@MovieJoob The reason we fall for him is the same reason Archie Bunker changed TV, we see the heart and we believe tho twisted he can be redeemed, and he does...... agree so few reactors understand the priest does an amazing job. Continue to seek out the films that move you emotionally young Miss, they are the only films that change us and we remember.
Aww that is so lovely of you to say thank you so much!!
More to come absolutely 🙌
Hey sweetheart. Haven’t seen you in a months!
Glad you are back
Everyone is like an onion. we all have layers that make us who we are. what layer you show some vs others is up to you. stay blessed everyone. loved this reaction. check out an older movie called The Wraith. it actually has someone in it as a starring role you might recognize. Charlie Sheen. it is a very good movie for its time.
What a fantastic, heartfelt reaction to this film!
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed!!
Funny thing about this movie, I cried at the end because it was like watching the REAL Clint Eastwood retire from the movie business. But 15 years later and he’s still working and even took another acting role so now I feel like an idiot 😂
Great Reaction, you’re going like Million Dollar Baby also with Clint Eastwood
Excellent and emotional reaction. I think Clint’s later movies really focus on reflection, and handle darker themes more than his earlier films. If you liked this film, I’d really recommend Million Dollar Baby (with a large supply of tissues) and Unforgiven (Clint’s masterpiece of a western) 🖤
Thank you so much for the great suggestion!! 🙌
And thank you for your very kind words 😊
I have a good friend who is hmong. His dad helped the US during the Vietnam war. He's always good company.
The white boy on the sidewalk, his son, and now looks just like him, Scott Eastwood! Was also in, Fury!
I love your reactions. Your face is so expressive when watching. This is one of my favorite movies. Your reaction was the best I've ever seen. You totally understood that there is more to Walt than the things he says. What appears to be racism or prejudice is often simply fear or lack of understanding. And the words that are said don't always communicate the deeper contents of the heart. You beautifully gave room for Walt to grow. The mascara streaks on your face at the end beautifully exemplify the power of this movie. I also cry every time I watch the movie or a reaction. I have always loved your reactions. But this one made me realize that I need to support you at the highest level. Thank you for giving the movies you watch a whole new life. 😎
Awww this is such a beautiful comment thank you so incredibly much!! ❤
Walt is a lovely human despite any flaws/biases which we ALL have as humans just different faults to each other! I’m proud of him for not letting fear dictate his life and prevent him from friendships though!!
Clint and Meryl streep also starred in Clint's "The Bridges of Maddison county" a movie for grown ups and you will need some hankies.
Walt is rude? Yeah. Bur, he is a MAN that gets things done. Perfect role model
Such an emotional movie
Clint Eastwood has made so many great movies but this is his finest. Thanks Jade for your great reaction ❤❤
Clint Eastwood's best movie. The acting was not good, but the movie was great. I saw it twice in the theater, and there was a standing ovation at the end both times. In many ways, Walt reminded me of my grandfather, my Papa. I'm happy that you called your grandma. Please keep in touch; it is very rough when they are gone.
He wasn't racist, he just didn't care what people thought about what he said and didn't care if anyone got offended, but he didn't respect anyone until they could take him how he was and give it back to him. The truck ride conversation with Sue, she fired back at him as much as he did to her, and he started respecting her for that. "Toad" took all the name calling and even stood up to him about the freezer, that earned respect. Guys can MUCH more easily insult each other than they can actually express what they really want or need to say to each other, it's how we show other guys we do care about them, by insulting them.
Great reaction! Thank you!
I’m very glad you enjoyed! Thank you for watching 😊
Beautiful reaction! Bravo!!!! =8-D
Aww thank you so very much!!
Great reaction, señorita. Keep on keeping on and Gritos from Tejas.
Muchos Gracias!! More to come for sure!
❤ thank you 😊 for your reaction. Fun fact. Many of my friends compare me to Walt. ( CLINT EASTWOOD) in this movie. 😆 I don't see it. Lol okay maybe I am a little like Walt 😊
Sue is like how everyone should be she doesn’t get offended by anything.
What a great film, deep down its about overcoming loneliness and isolation
Love the part we Clint puts down his own son ( the white kid walking with the girl)
Your Grandma is lucky to have you ...
I’m sure there are much better grandkids out there and I wish I spent more time with her, I am so busy trying to work hard enough to live where I do (a big city in Aus) so that I can build a future that it makes time go by so far. But when I do see her I like to tell her how beautiful she is because she has 2 sons who aren’t expressive and her husband died when I was 3 so she doesn’t get to hear those kinds of compliments enough and just listen to her and tell her how much I love her and am grateful for her but I definitely wish I did more for her! ❤
No matter how hard of an exterior you have special people can break down those walls
Oooh yes I love this! I agree! Some people have the right angles to pierce through the tough shell and get right into your heart!!
You need a lot of hug, Felicia. 💜💜😭😭
Virtual huuggg!! 🤗🐈⬛
Yeah its hard for a lot of younger people to understand the differences in how people thought and behaved back in the day, the world was a very different place which doesn't justify it or make it ok but it definitely makes it something that should be viewed in context.
No I totally understand, especially living in Australia many of the older generations are very closed off when talking about emotions or being genuine they prefer to hide sincerity behind humour and banter which I also understand and fully respect due to how they lived life but I am the most grotesquely emotional ass person that even if I was born in the 40s I would be just as much of a gooey, open, emotional, heart on my sleeve person as I am today. And I’m just lucky to fit in alright it todays more open to feelings environment hahaha (well not growing up but now that I’m an adult yes) 😊
Best reaction ever.
Miss Doctor J.M. Joob watches one of my top 3 movies of all time!!! Ö_Ö
I'm really excited for this reaction!
It was a very unique experience for me back then, we didn't really know what this movie was about when we went to see it and in the end a lot of people in the cinema were crying, mostly men.
Thats something you don't forget.
This film surprised me so much!! I loved it!
That would’ve been a very special experience!!
@@MovieJoob I think that was one of its strongest aspects. Especially at the time it came out.
We had so many "old man goes on a revenge trip to clean up his city"-type movies and the promo for this looked a bit like it would be just another one!
And it "fooled" you at the start of the climax aswell!
At the same time this was at the peak of Eastwoods directing time, so I had my doubts that it would be such a flat story.
Its a flawlessly written and acted movie, picking up on so many topics straightforward, bold and without excuse for being "not pretty". From the casual racism of older generations, guilt and trauma, the widowhood effect, which is something that males suffer from a lot, but is rarely talked about. All the divides that seem unsolveable when you don't know how to talk about them, consequences for all of your actions and so on.
Hey i enjoyed watching ur reaction to this movie and would like to see u reaction to ghostship or 13 ghosts when u get time.
I have seen every movie Clint Eastwood was in and I have to say this is by far my favourite. It has so much heart and its so genuine, it never fails to make me tear up. It's really fun to watch how uncomfortable people are at the beginning becasue just like the rest of the movie its very honest, he is racist no question about it but obviosuly the war made him that way. It's easy to talk from a high horse and play the rightous but those of us who never been to war have no idea how terrible it is. It turns out not every Korean is a monster and Walt realized that as well, he wasnt too proud or stubborn to admit that to himself. I absolutely love this movie, its really simple but so good. Wrecked me the first time lol
Really recommend the movie called the Mule. Another great one from Clint Eastwood, he stars and also directed it just like this one. It's a really good one.
As good as it gets. Clint Eastwood movies are all, to be watched!
When you realize the confession in church was to fulfil the promise the wife made with the priest, and the real confession was to Tao when he locked him in the basement
Clint is such a great filmmaker. Have you seen Unforgiven? Million Dollar Baby? Mystic River? Bridges of Madison County?
Haven't seen you in a while. Don't know if that is TH-cam being slack, me being metaphorically blind or you taking a break. Either way good to see you reacting again, and to such a great film at that.
Thank you so much for the great suggestions, no I haven’t seen any of those unfortunately!! Hope to change that!
And oh no I haven’t been taking a break at all, I’ve been posting Breaking Bad reaction content for a while so maybe that hasn’t been suggested to you on TH-cam but I’m up to season 3 🤗
@@MovieJoob Might explain it. Breaking Bad is somehow one of those things I haven't properly watched yet and I do skip reactions to things I haven't seen. I've always been more about the movies than the shows too. Great cinema is just... the best.
2 movie suggestions jade. Big Fish and Second hand Lions. If you haven't already seen them. Both really good
