American Sniper is my favorite movie of his, it’s a true story that he really put his heart into! They said he never once sat down while filming the movie. You have a wonderful week man🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Sean Penn's acting in the 'Is that my daughter in there' scene makes me tear up every time. He wasn't just emotional, he had the panic and anger I'd imagine in that situation aswell...just a superb performance.
The irony is that when Jimmy killed Ray Harris, Jimmy set up the dominoes for his daughter's murder. Because Ray Harris was killed, Silent Ray grew up without a father. Therefore, his brother Brendan became his father figure. So when Brendan planned on running away with Katie, Silent Ray's whole world was about to fall apart. That's why he felt the need to threaten Katie. It was to keep his brother. Perhaps if Silent Ray still had his father, he would not have been so dependent on his brother and would not have felt the need to threaten Katie. This movie does a great job of showing the ripple effects of violence.
This would be a good theory if the movie didn’t tell us that the kids don’t know why they killed her, you just wrote a better (and not to mention actual motivation) reason as to why, when the movie just chocks it up to “they don’t know”
Sir.. THANK YOU for acknowledging that both men and women can be predators. As an advocate to raise awareness on female abusers, you have no idea how difficult it is to get people to understand this.
i just can’t understand why as a woman you would advocate for female abusers (rare) over the hundreds of issues women and girls face all over the world… it’s giving pick me vibes 🤢
Both Sean Penn and Tim Robbins won academy awards for this! Also that old man at the bar was none other than the great Eli Wallach! Tuco from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly!
Emmy Rossum broke down crying when she was laying on the slab. She was so moved by Sean Penn's performance. My favorite scene is at the end when Kevin Bacon does the gun gesture and Sean Penn gives the hands up gesture. Kevin knew he did it but couldn't prove it. One of Clint Eastwood's best.
this movie is easily in my top 10 fav films of all time. every performance is phenomenal but Penn’s and Robbins’ performances are incredible, just masterpiece acting.
Sean Penn and Tim Robbins won an Oscar for their respective roles in Mystic River. Mystic River was also nominated for Best Picture, Best Director for Clint Eastwood, Best Supporting Actress for Marcia Gay Harden, and Best Adapted Screenplay for Brian Helgeland.
Years later him asking about his daughter still breaks my heart. And the twist in this movie still breaks my heart. That’s when you know it’s a good movie when it hits you hard anytime you watch it. Oscars well earned.
If I remember correctly, Sean suspects Jimmy of killing Dave, and the finger point is meant to say he knows what he did, and he'll be coming for him. Jimmy's shrug acknowledges he knows Sean is on to him.
I think Sean is saying "I'll be coming for you". Jimmy, a two time murderer (that we know of) with his Savage Brothers goons and the speech that he just got from his wife about being a "King", is so cocky now that he feels untouchable and gives Sean a "so what?" shrug like he's not scared of Sean or the rule of law. By the end of the film, Jimmy has crossed the line and lost much of his humanity.
I swear that was the scene that got Sean Penn the Oscar for this film. Less than 30 seconds on screen he pulled everyone into that scene like we were there with him. One of those scenes that leaves a gut punch impact to everyone who has seen it.
I found it interesting that you were suspicious of the Dave character and his involvement from the jump. I honestly never was and thought it was just remnants of trauma bubbling from the establishing scenes, and that it was way too early to find him suspicious.
This movie is so goddamn tragic, but I keep coming back to it because it is so well made. Music. Cast. Directing. Writing. Clint Eastwood does it again. If your continuing with Clint Eastwood, you gotta watch Changling. Another crime mystery but a true story with Angelina Jolie (in easily her best role) and John Malkovich set in 1920's LA.
After passing through the area many, many times, I found out about the chickencoop murders because of The Changeling... the location of the farm/ranch is on Wineville Rd in Mira Loma, just south of Limonite. Was and is creepy to think about any time I pass by now.
when Kevin Bacon points his fingers at Sean Penn in a shooting gesture in that last scene and Sean just opens his arms like "here I am", I always took that as Bacon's way of saying friendship aside, I'm coming for you for killing Dave and Sean just responding, you gotta do what you gotta do.
I haven't watched this movie in a long time. Because it's so emotional. But after watching your reaction and the movie. I am reminded this is why this one of the best movies to me.
So glad you mentioned Prisoners. That's one of my favorite movies of all time with some of the most intense acting ever. I don't watch a lot of reaction channels but I've been watching yours like crazy these last few weeks.
You need to check out "In the Line of Fire(1993),"A Perfect World"(1993) and "The Bridges of Madison County"(1995). These were a string of really good movies that Clint made right after his Oscar winning "Unforgiven"(1992)
Great reaction and film. In answer to one of your questions; bank accounts were still local at the time. National banks were less common and internet banking was virtually nonexistent. If you moved, you usually closed your bank account and started a new one at the place to which you moved. You're very young ;)
One of my favorite movies. Laura Linney was ice cold. Best line "it's in the shoulders". The gun pointing by Kevin means he knew Sean killed Tim. Yes, saying the real actors name lol
My mother grew up in Boston, Dorchester and my Father was born in Chelsea then moving to South Boston..My Father moved to Brockton Mass, home of Rocky Marciono and the great Marvin Hagler..I love this movie besides the accents..Clint Eastwood did a great job with this movie
Such an incredible film. I think I saw it 3-4 times in theaters when it first came out. The cameo by Eli Wallach as the liquor store owner is next level. Classic Clint.
I didn't realize (or I forgot) that Eli Wallach was in this (the old man in the liquor store that named 'Just Ray' Harris), star of 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly', 'The Magnificent Seven' and so much more, including 'The Godfather Part III'.
19:08 the man playing the character who owns the liquor store, actor Eli Wallach, knew Clint Eastwood for a long time….he played the character Tuco when they starred alongside each other in a little film from the 60’s called THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY, by Sergio Leone…Only one of the greatest westerns of all time, if not thee greatest…and the film that’s responsible for part of your opening theme song 😂. On the set of that film they became and remained friends (up until Eli’s death in 2014 at the age of 99), and many years later Clint would give him a speaking part in his film MYSTIC RIVER.
Amazing film Mystic River produced and directed by Clint Eastwood starring Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Kevin Bacon, Laurence Fishburne, Marcia Gay Harden and Laura Linney. This film was nominated for 6 Oscars and won 2 best actor for Sean Penn and best supporting actor for Tim Robbins. Thank you MellVerse great reaction just awesome😊👍👍
The only reason I think it didn't win best picture & director was because of Lord of the rings:Return of the king. The first 2 Lord of the rings movie were also nominated & some people thought should win but the academy wanted to wait til part 3 before they gave it not having buyers remorse. So when it was good they couldn't give it to mystic river even if they wanted to. Return of the King got it basically for all 3 movies. However it worked out for Eastwood the next year for Million dollar Baby winning his 2nd oscar
have you done Sleepers yet? Its an incredible movie, dont think its set up as a mystery, but is somewhat simmilar to this in minor ways, and is full of amazing performances by powerful actors. i might actually watch that now given i just thought of it, must be ten years since i watched it. Edit: much more than ten years, its 25 years old now, damn.
In the 1960's, psychotherapists were pretty much out of the question. It would have tarnished the family name. Things were a lot different back then. Also, odds were extremely high the children would never have spoken up, especially the victim. I was 44 before I said a peep to anyone over what happened to me when I was 4. It was a vastly different era: far superior in many ways; far inferior in others. The shift to the way we see and handle such things now didn't gain any real traction until the late 90's.
I am from Boston born and raised. Doing the accent isn't easy. Most actors do a great job. This accent is usually from South Boston or west of Boston, not the inner city
Oh yes! An absolute favorite of mine. Like someone else said another similar feeling film is Gone Baby Gone. The book was written by the same author who wrote Mystic River and Shutter Island- Dennis Lehane
Wow, kudos to you for doing this one. There's another 'sorta/similar' movie called "Sleepers" from 1996 that's just as gutting. Huge big name cast as well (also starring Kevin Bacon now that I remember). Also worth checking out. Eastwood would work with Laura Linney again (as his daughter) in Absolute Power, a pretty good flick as well.
I liked this film the first time I watched it, but the ending made me so freaking mad, I just refuse to ever watch it again. Dave didn't deserve what happened to him.
I HATE the ending. Jimmy gets off clean even though he straight up MURDERED and innocent man (Well, innocent of the crime Jimmy thought it was--and, honestly, the crime Dave did commit was forgivable...) all because Dave is weird... I guess the moral of the story is, don't be a victim or you will be a victim again and no one will really care... ugh. f#@! that bull@*!#...
Certainly Dave didn't deserve any of what happened to him. From the moment he got into that car to ending up dead in the Mystic River, he was haunted by deep trauma. Dave was was just trying to get past his tragedy and live a normal life with a wife & kid, but the world wouldn't let him. Jimmy (the "King" so tough that he brings his two goons along so that Dave will be outnumbered) has pretty much lost his humanity by the time he pulls the trigger. Jimmy is now the kind of scumbag that he (falsely) accuses Dave of being. Jimmy's wife is encouraging his thug-like behavior with her speech about being the "King" & brave he is because he'll do anything to protect his family. How did killing an innocent man who'd already been a victim of kidnappers and pedophiles protect Jimmy's family? (Her speech comes AFTER she knows Dave was innocent of killing their daughter.). By the end of the movie, Jimmy is a criminal pile of garbage. Sean, on the other hand has become a better person and sees Jimmy for what he's become. I don't think that the ending is meant to say that Jimmy gets away with it. When Sean does the gun motion with his hand I think he's clearly saying "I know you did it & I'll be coming to get you". Jimmy shrugging it off as if to say "try it", that the kind of cocky thug he's become. Though not tied-up with a definitive ending where you see Jimmy getting taken away in a cop car, I think the image of Sean doing the gun gesture indicates that he's not going to give up and let him get away with it.
@@visualizeprog2874 100% agree. My sympathy for Jimmy was all over right after he killed Dave. I was so shocked that his wife was totally unfaced with what he did and even tried to justify his actions. I always had a feeling that Sean doing the gun motion with his hand was him implicating that he knew what Jimmy did and were gonna hunt him down for it. Jimmy's shrug, for me, was him implicating that he didn't care, and was probably okay with it, like he knows he has it coming to him. But like I said, this movie was brilliant, but I simply can't rewatch it again knowing it ain't gonna end well for anyone. The film didn't make me happy that I saw it. It just made me feel empty and cheated.
Hey man, just wanted to say I appreciate your channel and I like seeing your love for film grow with every reaction. It's good to see someone that recognizes good filmmaking and appreciates the art and craftsmanship involved. I would highly recommend anything by the visionary director Darren Aronofsky. His films are always unique and visually arresting.
The ending when Sean pointed the fake gun at him can be interpreted many ways. Some say it means he will get him for Dave. Others think it's Sean telling him he relates to him as knowing all that he does but will not go after him because of their past. It's up for interpretation
With all the movies going around the reaction circuit recently I was wondering why I didn’t see this one popping up. And here it is! One of my favorites
Excellent movie, excellent acting and directing. As the mother of a murdered son, I can tell you personally the acting was a perfect portrayal of what a parent really goes through emotionally on first learning their child was killed. A Perfect World is another excellent Clint Eastwood directed (and acted) movie starring Kevin Costner. It will leave you with the feels for sure.
I really love your channel! You have such a beautiful personality man🙏🏼 your reactions are very meaningful. I know you got a long list but It’d mean a lot to see you react to “American Sniper” another Eastwood film
As a former construction worker of 4 years. Yes it’s illegal you’re vandalizing either public or private property and depending on the owner they can press charges. Writing or drawing on property is basically under the category or graffiti.. I’ve done it when I was a teen. It’s cool looking back 13 years later and it’s still there tho
The Wanderers (1979) is a great film that seems to have been forgotten by time unfortunately. It’s, in a way, similar to The Warriors - would love for you to give that ago in the future !
This movie is brutal, so good. It's my personal favorite of Eastwood, though I haven't seen them all. He's actually got a new movie common out, that looks pretty slick, called Macho or something like that. I don't think I'd love the man (he's like a dinosaur) , but damn if he can't make the shit out of a movie. I'll see his new one, and any more he makes. Guy's beyond talented, as a filmmaker.

Can u please review/watch....PERFUME "STORY OF A MURDERER ".... IT'S AMAZING....🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Oh, and the sidewalk cement symbolized (I think) Dave’s childhood being interrupted and he never got to finish forming as a person.
Wow, deep and tragic.

In the early 2000's Clint Eastwood was droping great movies like no other director
Gone Baby Gone is another great Boston mystery/thriller film. Directed by Ben Affleck and starring little brother Casey
The actor who played the boyfriend and kicked the kid in the face did the best acting in this movie imo.
Was just passing through these neighborhoods yesterday. Good timing
Another Clint Eastwood film. Eastwood is Hollywood royalty.

With all the movies going around the reaction circuit recently I was wondering why I didn’t see this one popping up. And here it is! One of my favorites
19:07 the legend himself Eli Wallach or Tuco from The Good The Bad and The Ugly
Excellent movie, excellent acting and directing. As the mother of a murdered son, I can tell you personally the acting was a perfect portrayal of what a parent really goes through emotionally on first learning their child was killed.
A Perfect World is another excellent Clint Eastwood directed (and acted) movie starring Kevin Costner. It will leave you with the feels for sure.
Yes! Been waiting for this.
wow you're the only one who reacted to this. underrated movie
Liquor store owner...was Tuco from The Good the Bad and the Ugly.
Another great film , this and Sleepers were always a tough watch ..great Direction and Acting.
The Liquor Store owner is Eli Wallach - the Ugly in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
This movie's a masterpiece but it's nothing but harsh truths. Many thanks for being one of the first channels on TH-cam I've seen react to it!
The most powerful scene in movie history right there Sean.
Until you watch JoJo Rabbit and see that movie wipe this crotch fire clean out of the water
From England ... love this film watched it many times
No one has reacted to Mystic River yet so thank you for doing it. It's a great movie
Hahaha I love you behind the door of the house at 2:19! Good job with that!
I really love your channel! You have such a beautiful personality man🙏🏼 your reactions are very meaningful. I know you got a long list but It’d mean a lot to see you react to “American Sniper” another Eastwood film
I’m thinking Sean penn was thinking about his brother who died of a drug overdose in real life. This was good movie.💜🖤💜🖤
Gone Baby Gone!!! Do that soon please.
Awesome movie and great reaction as always. Clint Eastwood is the greatest american director for me.
Lovely Bones is a good one and sad too. With Mark Wahlberg
Man, I cried like a baby when I saw this.
Brilliant, brilliant movie
Hands down one of my favorite films! Cook to see a TH-camr react to it not enough people have seen it. You a real one 👌🏽
This movie was what started the conversation with my younger daughter’s father about naming her Nora 12 years ago.
Watch bad boys with Sean penn. You'll love it
As a former construction worker of 4 years. Yes it’s illegal you’re vandalizing either public or private property and depending on the owner they can press charges. Writing or drawing on property is basically under the category or graffiti.. I’ve done it when I was a teen. It’s cool looking back 13 years later and it’s still there tho
Guilty pleasure of mine, the movie Posse 1993. I love these black outlaws with one crazy white guy. Action scenes on point! With Western Anime tones.
This film broke my heart when I watched it. Dave's story was so sad.
Eastwood is a Master.
This movie is incredible.
As a parent, I cannot watch Sean Penn's character finding out about his daughter without losing it. Every time.
This is a damn good movie that I haven't seen in awhile.
The Wanderers (1979) is a great film that seems to have been forgotten by time unfortunately. It’s, in a way, similar to The Warriors - would love for you to give that ago in the future !
You should watch:
Butterfly effect
Sicario
Saw
The Game ( 1997 )
And ofcourse - Intouchables ( french movie, one of the greatest )
If u like this....got to see "Primal Fear"
As soon as the ball went into the sewer, I thought of IT.
This movie is brutal, so good. It's my personal favorite of Eastwood, though I haven't seen them all. He's actually got a new movie common out, that looks pretty slick, called Macho or something like that. I don't think I'd love the man (he's like a dinosaur) , but damn if he can't make the shit out of a movie. I'll see his new one, and any more he makes. Guy's beyond talented, as a filmmaker.
Arlington Road - Tim Robbins/Jeff Bridges, Blown Away- Jeff Bridges/Tommy Lee Jones. Two great movies you will enjoy.
