Your edit was really really good. Once again I’m a crying mess watching this. Incredibly emotional. Wish more people would react to this film. Great edit.
I promise as soon as I get a job again. Going through stuff. I had dinner with Joel Edgerton’s Dad because of a mandatory law license event. There were like 5 of us at the table and the guy got peppered. Total gentlemen. I wrote an essay about this movie on Medium. It is a top 5 for me.
"Legend"is another good tom hardy movie that isn't well known I recommend it,not as good as this movie but it shows toms ability to act very well👍🏾btw love the reaction Nd this movie hits hard I love it nick Nolte is amazing in this movie
Nick Nolte killed it with the drunk scene. That is the most spot on interpretation of a drunk older man I have ever seen on film. Exactly how my pop was when we were kids.
Damn, I'm sorry you had to see that. I have a friend who dealt with the same thing. The way she talked about it, having to care for him and what not, was in such a nonchalant way that it made me think she really did not want to think about how bad the situation was. I only listened, but it really felt like she was holding back such emotion when I was looking into her eyes.
Hits home because Tommy knew he pushed him too hard. Mocked him and his sobriety, that he fell of the wagon. At that point, even though he was a terrible father, Tommy acknowledged his dad was trying. And his dad was at his most vulnerable.
One of the most underrated movies there is. From the outside it may just look like a mma movie, but the fighting is just the vehicle to move along one of the most compelling stories of forgiveness I've ever seen. Also Nick Nolte's relapse scene where he's screaming at captain ahab to turn the boat around is world class.
In the final fight, Tommy didn’t tap till he heard his brother say “I love you”. He didn’t need to hear “I’m sorry” or anything else. He needed to hear his brother say I love you and feel it.
The man you keep on pointing out to be beautiful. He was an actual UFC fighter. His name is Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson, he sadly passed away in 2022, he was truly loved by the fighter community.
One of my favourite ever fighters. Loved the respectful and even gentle side he showed right up till the cage door closed and then "Rumble" showed up. Gone far too early 😢
@@lethalsnake666a true gentlemen that beat the shit out of women and loved to grope his grandmas ass. Yeah, a true gentleman. Simping for a dead man doesn’t make you a good person, it just makes you pathetic.
I'm a dude and I do MMA. I'm also a huge film buff. I can confidently say that I've never cried as much with a film as I did with the ending of this film.
You know shia Labeouf beat his ass apparently on the set of lawless. And in an interview tom said shia would absolutely beat him in a fight lol. Not saying tom isn't tough but just an interesting point to add.
@@zeeksy6276 Tom was sloshed on set 😂 but he said in an interview he's good at playing tough guy roles cause he just acts like the kinda people he's intimidated by.
The way Tommy recoils when he sees his father drunk you start to understand that his hostility towards his father isn't hate but fear. He turns into the same scared child he was when he left but as a grown man has found the courage to understand and appreciate the remorse and efforts Paddy has taken to be somewhat better.
Respectfully, I disagree. I think he just found the limit of his hate. He realized the magnitude of pushing his father off the wagon, saw the weakness that lay behind the alchoholism and couldn't hate him any more.
@@phoenixowl2010as someone who’s been in a bit of a similar situation to tomboy with the whole alcoholic father thing, you do somewhat go back to the person you were when you wanted them to be good once you reach the limit of that hate. It’s like your own hate fighting against itself in a way
@@phoenixowl2010 it’s just refreshing when a movie gets the little things about fucked up relationship dynamics right. Very much deserves all the kudos
1st, Warrior is one of my all time favorite movies. The ending scene never fails to make me cry. I truly enjoyed your reaction - you are genuine, you're not performative, and you let the important moments breathe.... I subscribed right afterwards 👍
Crazy how many people are unaware about this movie. Perhaps maybe even Hardy's best work? I think it gets to people because everyone on this planet has gone through some sort of trauma. Its not some fairytale where everyone wins
Joel Edgerton, too! I feel like he gets overlooked a lot because Nolte was such a scene stealer (in a good way) and Hardy is just so damn intense. But, he was so damn easy to root for and like in this movie. Truly great cast in a truly underrated movie. And, great soundtrack to boot.
I think the way this movie portrays the realistic approach of MMA and forgiveness , it wasn't too "Commercial" and the editing also was damn perfect , no extra scenes , no unnecessary slow mo closeups . Maybe that's why it didn't appeal to a LARGER audience.
I love this movie so much. Rewatched it so many times. Glad that you liked it. Nick Nolte killed it in this role with Tom. That scene in casino is sooo good.
One of my favorite movies of all time. I am 38 and my mom had another son with a different man when I was 18. She lost him to CPS when I was 21 and he was 3 back in 2008 and I never saw him again and still don’t know where he is, as he got taken away 3 days before I left for basic training for the Army. Last time I saw my father was 8/18/2008. I punched him in the face 6 times and left for basic training the next day and haven’t seen him since. My mother has been sober for 11 years (2013) and we now have a a beautiful relationship, but I haven’t spoken to my father because he is literally the antichrist, and 16 years later I still haven’t found my half brother. I turned to jiu jitsu for an outlet and am heavily involved in that community so I love the MMA aspect along with the story. The movie admittedly resonates with me more so than it probably does most, and I can’t watch the final scene without crying every single time. I thought everyone did a tremendous job acting in it and I thought they did a terrific job mixing in the stories so it wasn’t just another fight movie. Wish more people reacted to this, it’s a great movie! Edit: Tom Hardy is also a purple belt in jiu jitsu and competes fairly regularly and has won several competitions…and is one of the nicest humans imaginable.
I hate when people simply say, "This guy should've won" without having watched the other nominees. Christopher Plummer was amazing for "Beginners," and Nick Nolte was amazing too, but that's the thing with the Oscars: most of the time it's not going to be 100% objective because there's multiple actors that deserve the award; it isn't as simple as "He should've won.".
Someone mentioned Joel Edgerton is in Animal Kingdom and I'll be reacting to that one soon! As I mentioned Locke is high on my radar as well for more Tom Hardy 😁
Great choice; impossible not to cry :-) Also you might be surprised, but Joel Edgerton (Brandon) had significantly more mixed martial arts experience than Tom Hardy, which is one reason why they needed Tom Hardy's fights to be very short. They also had very limited time and money to shoot this movie, so lots of credit goes to its writer and director Gavin O'Connor, who played the rich guy putting up the prize money.
It's not just you, I never cry in movies but I've watched this movie so many times and teared up every time. Even teared up watching your video. It's a perfect movie
Manny was military brother who died in the friendly fire incident that he was the sole survivor of. He felt betrayed and decided to leave and went AWOL and stumbled across some fellow soldiers who were drowning in the "tank" and he rescued them and has been hiding. He promised Manny that he would take care of his family and is fighting solely for them. That's why they all still cheer. Because they can all understand the situation and why he did what he did. And still consider him a brother.
This movie makes grown ass men cry like little babies. When the music sets in, in the end and brendan looks at his father through the cage it's so heavy.
I'm a 53-year-old French man, and I love this movie. It hits close to home. I've watched it several times and each and every time I cry to those same scenes. The scene with Nick Nolte getting drunk in the hotel room is heart wrenching. He's such a great actor. And I can't hold back my tears when the music starts during that last fight. Absolutely love this movie, such a great story. Great reaction.
I first saw this movie back in 2011, just days before I was separating from the Navy. I just remember being scared because I had spent my whole adult life in the Navy. Needless to say, this movie inspired me. After two months, I stepped on the mats at an MMA gym. I still train today because this movie inspired me to keep moving forward no matter what life throws at you.
I really like your reaction because you don’t try to do too much. Subscribed. Also, having the full screen is way better than having a tiny little screen in the corner.
Maaan, I wanted to see it in the theatre. And with Never Back Down having been the only MMA related movie I’d seen at the time, for some reason, I didn’t think I’d like it. So time went on, and I eventually found it on a Walmart shelf and I was like “ehh, what the heck” and bought it. Never rented it or nothing. Got home, put it in the player, became one of my favorite movies of all time
I see Warrior, I click :) This movie hits waaaay close to home for me. I'm a middle child and my older brother is a Marine. My grandfather, father and brother are all previously or recovering alcoholics ... this movie gets me bawling every time by the end 🥺😢💔😭
Edgerton acts, write and directs whats probably my favorite movie ever: The Gift (2015)! Edgerton, Jason Bateman and Rebecca Hall (Who is FANTASTIC in this!) are incresible :)
Joel Edgerton is an Aussie and actually had some martial arts background. Its one of the reasons that Tom's fight scenes where shorter. This movie is what got him into martial arts. This is suchan amazing movie. Love it so much.
So the brother opposite Tom Hardy is Joel Edgerton. A great Australian who played Uncle Lars (in Starwars, Luke Skywalker's uncle), the antagonist in The Great Gatsby , he's a stuntman and he and his brother make Aussie films. In fact you are watching a show his brother Nash Edgerton directed, Mr Inbetween. The Edgerton brothers are Australian legends that go under the radar but legendary none the less. ;)
You're not a girl for crying! you are a human with a big heart! I cried too. Keep up the good work your reactions are amazing. The world would be a better place with more heart felt emotion!
This movie hit me out of nowhere one day just watchin tv looking for something to watch n stumbled a ross this just starting, Whole thing is so incredibly well written and directed n Tom Hardy n Nick Nolte n rest just knocked it out of the park!!
@@chrissiereacts Also for Hardy look up ''The Drop'' (2014) he plays a autistic bartender who gets caught up with the MOB. Naomi Rapace is also in it (personally i think shes one of the most underrated female actresses) , and this also was one of James Gandolfini (Tony Soprano from The Sopranos) last few films before his sudden death. Great movie with a great twist at the end.
Brendan was played by Joel Edgerton, who is an Australian actor, who has also done some writing and directing in the past. His older brother is Nash Edgerton, who is the director of Mr. Inbetween, which is also being covered on this channel.
I’ve seen this many times as it’s one of my favorites of all time. I have also watched many reactions of it. I have never not at least teared up at it, and I’m a 35 year old man lol
Crying right alongside you. This is one I watch whenever it's on tv, from the start, from the middle, from near the end - doesn't matter. The Martian with Matt Damon is another one
Kurt Angle was awesome in this. Everything he does reminds you he was/is indeed a legitimate wrestler and athlete. Also the sounds the actors make during the fights are really well done, the grunt and such, like the Bmrbm from Brendan in the last fight.
That gorgeous man you are referring to that was Joel Edgerton's character's first opponent was called Anthony "Rumble" Johnson, sadly he passed away on November 13 2022 from a rare auto-immune disease that he battled with for years, he was a true sportsman and gentleman of the UFC and challenged the UFC Light Heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier twice before retiring. He was known for his exciting fighting style and terrifying knockout punching power and was a controversial fighter for regularly missing weight limits over 3 different weight classes.
This is NOT an MMA movie. Providing a little extra drama, MMA is only the back-drop. This is a film about a severely damaged family. Three brilliant actors, giving three stunning performances, in one amazing film. This is THE best movie you haven't seen.
This film is incredible. I always recommend it to folk because everyone should see it. I like to think of the brothers as contrasting responses to trauma within the same person. The anger, the cerebral- one of them becomes feral and the other slowly drowns while it tries to maintain a sense of normality. In their confrontation and unity, they manage to cope.
I think the reconnecting of the brothers in the end really gutted me. My best friend who I basically considered a brother had a falling out with me. It was probably ten years of avoiding each other until I reached out to squash the beef. We went out for a beer together a few times. We're not the best of friends anymore but we still remain in contact. Life is such a ripple effect. It takes one small thing to change your life.
It’s a great movie you cry baby 😅 ok I’m an ex fighter and I confess I shed a tear, or 3. A beautiful raw, brutal emotional roller coaster of a movie. Loved sharing it again with you 👍
Nick Nolte made my heart and soul bleed with his perfomance. The casino scene where Tom Hardy's character tells him to f off, he's not wanted, and you can literally see the man crumble before your eyes, and the following scene where Nick Nolte's character is blindly drunk, listening to a voice book of Moby Dick, begging and screaming at the captain (Ahab) to turn the ship and not pursue the whale ... and then the son stops him, gets him into bed and nestles him. It's just so beautiful.
Maybe a bit long to watch, but Tom's portrayal of Alfie Solomons in Peaky Blinders seasons 2-5 is nothing short of brilliant. And can't talk up Legend enough either. Can't wait for Animal Kingdom reaction... Joel with Ben Mendelsohn, Jackie Weaver and Guy Pearce (who also stars with Tom in Lawless). Lastly, Dark Matter with Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connolly has been an awesome series.
Brenden's fighting style seems to be patterned after Sakuraba, the greatest submission specialist and p4p goat. Koba is basically Fedor the hw goat. Tommy is possibly a mix of Wanderlei Silva and Rampage Jackson. If you're interested in the sport at all you should look up a Sakuraba tribute video. He was the most entertaining fighter ever, who constantly face opponents 20-60lbs heavier and was a threat to all of them. Brenden is played by Joel Edgerton, he's in tons of great movies. Heck of an actor.
I will never forget the first time I saw this film. I was busy remodeling a house to convert it to a museum. I was taking up the very old linoleum, tar paper and roofing nails from some hardware floors and hadn't eaten all day. I ordered pizza, a lot of pizza, put on this film, watched it three times in a row and basically finished that entire floor well after midnight. It was a great night though because of this film and the determination of the characters.
I cried watching this film , First time since watching an old film called . The Champ . Some times that shield has to come down . Tom Hardy is an outstanding actor and can play anyone .
So glad I found your channel! Love your reactions and your emotions! As a fellow movie lover it's great to see someone appreciate them so much! Warrior did well at the box office! Locke is a great movie completely set inside a moving car! Harding is in a lot more of great stuff so if Joel! Hardy is also in The Dark Knight Rises as Bane and he's really big size wise in it! I'd love for you to watch my favorite movie "Rocky" the first one! Cheers from Canada!
this just popped in my feed!... Respect!... Indeed excelent choice to watch and great heartfelt reaction for an excelent movie that not many chose to react!... Choices, trauma and past lack of affections makes everyone from the characters to the audience, go into an emotional journey with this unforgettable extraordinary movie!
This was the movie that made me want to train MMA and i loved every min of it gotta get back at it. Tommy is the bull that unstoppable force that just runs through his opponents, Brenden is the technical fighter that uses his ground techniques loved how they gave each brother there own fighting style
Former active duty Marine here. When someone goes AWOL or Absent Without Leave and then caught (depending on how long they were AWOL) it can be anywhere from non judicial punishment which can lead to loss of rank, confinement to the barracks and loss of rank, or,and based on circumstances or it can lead to a Court Martial which could lead to confinement and dishonorable discharge.
This movie is so underrated, sad family drama with some fight scenes in between and it takes you on an emotional rollercoaster! Don’t lie everyone tears up in this movie! Nick Noltes best film
this story hits home for me and my brother, and our father who punished us everyday by giving us hidings and spared my sisters, I ran away from home and my big brother got addicted to crack, he ain't got long to go because his drug habits have caughten up on him and I just graduated with a degree in creative arts from University. I watched this film and it took me 20 years to forgive my dad, unfortunately my brother cannot! I hope my bro and my father can make their peace before there time is up.
If you enjoy Tom Hardy you should check out "Lawless" if you haven't already seen it. It has Tom Hardy and Shia LaBeouf in it. It's another one of Tom Hardy's great performances and an overall really entertaining movie. I think most people would consider Lawless one of his biggest/most memorable roles.
I thought it was such a nice touch with how the brothers picked up on their fathers mannerisms even though they rejected his very existence. The "tsk" the father does with his upper lip was mirrored by Brendan on the beach.
Reacting to one of my favourite movies... yeah that is an automatic subscribe. This movie always brings a tear to my eye, it is one of the most underrated movies made in the last 20+ years.
I almost cried at the end of your reaction to This is England because of how much you cried - I’m guessing it’ll happen again here 😭. I make an ugly cry / trying not to cry face when I watch this one lol
Heard another reviewer say "thats a long way to go to get your brother back" and damn... its absolutely true. He was fighting to get tommy back into his life. And tommy never tapped until he said "i love you tommy".
Tom Hardy's movie LEGEND, which is based on a true story about London Gangsters twin brothers, famously known as the KRAY TWINS, is an absolute treat to watch, Tom's done loads of shades from being funny, to goofy, and absolutely eccentric,... Tom Hardy, chefs kiss,...
Ladies have had tear jerkers like "Terms of Endearment" and "Steel Magnolias" for a while (GREAT movies)... But it's movies like "Warrior" and "The Champ" that men need sometimes. I cry every time I watch this, and I cried with you watching your response video. Thank you for seeing what a beautiful movie this is (my personal top 10 of all time).
You have to continue doing reactions to good movies! The way you related to this movies was really understanding I feel the same with so many movies I have to watch alone. I subscribed and good reaction! Do more! I just became a big fan!
I was loudly sobbing leaving this movie in theaters and I still cry at the ending every time I see it, even right now watching your video I'm a mess as soon as that music starts in the last round and it goes over the edge at the end before they walk out.
Hey fun fact I’m a purple belt in jiu jitsu in a well known affiliation in England and I got to spar Tom hardy one day when he turned up to a training one day such a nice and down to earth guy couldn’t believe it
20:44 That guy is Anthony 'rumble' Johnson. He died from non-Hodgkins lymphoma on november 13th, 2022. He was just 38 years old. I really liked this reaction. Haven't seen this film since I watched it in theaters but it left a lasting impression. Went for the MMA, but this is so much more.

Isn't it because Nick had a lot of alcohol problems?

@@evilpopcans3735 way to mansplain someone else's trauma

When that music kicks in at the end, me and my brother were both sniffling.
No, not really.
@@samuelfogle4030 Damn you have a cold heart. Cold as ice, Ice Man.
They supported him because they don't see him as a traitor who left out of cowardice. He left because he felt betrayed. Falling under friendly fire.
Typical “justice,” him being exposed for heroism gets him arrested. 🤦🏻♀️ (Not blaming those who praised him, I’m blaming the system.)
Saving Marines from drowning brought all the others to the fight to support him

Not enough people react to this movie. It's amazing!!!
Someone mentioned Joel Edgerton is in Animal Kingdom and I'll be reacting to that one soon! As I mentioned Locke is high on my radar as well for more Tom Hardy 😁
Another great Joel Edgerton film is Thirteen Lives. It also stars Viggo Mortensen and Colin Farrell, and is directed by Ron Howard. Highly recommend.
Animal Kingdom is incredible... Ben Mendlesohn is subtly terrifying and criminally underrated. A performance worth witnessing
Great choice; impossible not to cry :-)

I'm a 53-year-old French man, and I love this movie. It hits close to home. I've watched it several times and each and every time I cry to those same scenes. The scene with Nick Nolte getting drunk in the hotel room is heart wrenching. He's such a great actor. And I can't hold back my tears when the music starts during that last fight.
Absolutely love this movie, such a great story.
Great reaction.
Tom hardy nailed this role. What a badass
It’s always great seeing someone watch WARRIOR for the 1st time.
My favorite film ever.
I first saw this movie back in 2011, just days before I was separating from the Navy. I just remember being scared because I had spent my whole adult life in the Navy. Needless to say, this movie inspired me. After two months, I stepped on the mats at an MMA gym. I still train today because this movie inspired me to keep moving forward no matter what life throws at you.
Out of all the reaction videos I've watched, this is one of my favourites. So happy you picked this film. Glad you enjoyed it so much :)
What a great compliment, thank you! 😊
I really like your reaction because you don’t try to do too much. Subscribed.
Also, having the full screen is way better than having a tiny little screen in the corner.
I was lucky enough to see this in theaters. Badass flick for sure.
Maaan, I wanted to see it in the theatre. And with Never Back Down having been the only MMA related movie I’d seen at the time, for some reason, I didn’t think I’d like it. So time went on, and I eventually found it on a Walmart shelf and I was like “ehh, what the heck” and bought it. Never rented it or nothing. Got home, put it in the player, became one of my favorite movies of all time
Warrior, what a movie man. It is criminal the fact that this movie flopped. We truly had great movies up until 2015-2016.
I see Warrior, I click :)
This movie hits waaaay close to home for me. I'm a middle child and my older brother is a Marine. My grandfather, father and brother are all previously or recovering alcoholics ... this movie gets me bawling every time by the end 🥺😢💔😭
Koba is played by WWE Superstar and Team USA Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle! 💪😎💪
The music is its own character in this 💔😭😭😭😭😭😭💗💘🥰
Edgerton acts, write and directs whats probably my favorite movie ever: The Gift (2015)!
Edgerton, Jason Bateman and Rebecca Hall (Who is FANTASTIC in this!) are incresible :)
Great reaction!!👍 I'm a 34 year old guy and i cry every time I watch this, it's an incredibly emotional movie.
Joel Edgerton is an Aussie and actually had some martial arts background. Its one of the reasons that Tom's fight scenes where shorter. This movie is what got him into martial arts. This is suchan amazing movie. Love it so much.
It’s great watching an intelligent young lady react to movies like this
Tom Hardy is the best
So the brother opposite Tom Hardy is Joel Edgerton. A great Australian who played Uncle Lars (in Starwars, Luke Skywalker's uncle), the antagonist in The Great Gatsby , he's a stuntman and he and his brother make Aussie films. In fact you are watching a show his brother Nash Edgerton directed, Mr Inbetween. The Edgerton brothers are Australian legends that go under the radar but legendary none the less. ;)
You're not a girl for crying! you are a human with a big heart! I cried too. Keep up the good work your reactions are amazing. The world would be a better place with more heart felt emotion!
This is my favourite movie. Top of my list of favourites. I'm a guy and this has me welling up every time.
20:45 the guy u ask, "woah, who's that guy?" That Brendan was fighting. That's former UFC fighter Anthony Johnson. Sadly, he passed away 2yrs ago
This movie hit me out of nowhere one day just watchin tv looking for something to watch n stumbled a ross this just starting, Whole thing is so incredibly well written and directed n Tom Hardy n Nick Nolte n rest just knocked it out of the park!!
This stands as one of the greatest movies i ever seen, the music choices in it are amazing
Oh! almost forgot. Since you are on a Tom Hardy kick, don't forget LEGEND. He plays Twins! SOOOO GOOD! You won't regret it.
Yes! Keep hearing about about this one. Will definitely check it out
@@chrissiereacts Also for Hardy look up ''The Drop'' (2014) he plays a autistic bartender who gets caught up with the MOB. Naomi Rapace is also in it (personally i think shes one of the most underrated female actresses) , and this also was one of James Gandolfini (Tony Soprano from The Sopranos) last few films before his sudden death. Great movie with a great twist at the end.
Brendan was played by Joel Edgerton, who is an Australian actor, who has also done some writing and directing in the past. His older brother is Nash Edgerton, who is the director of Mr. Inbetween, which is also being covered on this channel.
THANK YOU for your emotions and reaction to the video!
I'm a guy, but I cried too 🫡 at the end
I’ve seen this many times as it’s one of my favorites of all time. I have also watched many reactions of it. I have never not at least teared up at it, and I’m a 35 year old man lol
Crying right alongside you. This is one I watch whenever it's on tv, from the start, from the middle, from near the end - doesn't matter. The Martian with Matt Damon is another one
Kurt Angle was awesome in this. Everything he does reminds you he was/is indeed a legitimate wrestler and athlete. Also the sounds the actors make during the fights are really well done, the grunt and such, like the Bmrbm from Brendan in the last fight.
That gorgeous man you are referring to that was Joel Edgerton's character's first opponent was called Anthony "Rumble" Johnson, sadly he passed away on November 13 2022 from a rare auto-immune disease that he battled with for years, he was a true sportsman and gentleman of the UFC and challenged the UFC Light Heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier twice before retiring. He was known for his exciting fighting style and terrifying knockout punching power and was a controversial fighter for regularly missing weight limits over 3 different weight classes.
I went into labour on April 15th 2012 watching this. I wouldn’t leave until the end tho 😂 still one of my fave films to this day
Hahahaha amazing 😅
This is NOT an MMA movie. Providing a little extra drama, MMA is only the back-drop. This is a film about a severely damaged family. Three brilliant actors, giving three stunning performances, in one amazing film. This is THE best movie you haven't seen.
"You owe me 200 bucks," is one of the best lines, ever.
Such an excellent friggin movie. One of the best fight dramas ever made.
This film is incredible. I always recommend it to folk because everyone should see it.
I like to think of the brothers as contrasting responses to trauma within the same person. The anger, the cerebral- one of them becomes feral and the other slowly drowns while it tries to maintain a sense of normality. In their confrontation and unity, they manage to cope.
Man, once that song hits at the end…….. it’s over emotionally.
Great reaction.
I think the reconnecting of the brothers in the end really gutted me. My best friend who I basically considered a brother had a falling out with me. It was probably ten years of avoiding each other until I reached out to squash the beef. We went out for a beer together a few times. We're not the best of friends anymore but we still remain in contact. Life is such a ripple effect. It takes one small thing to change your life.
That's some powerful acting. Writing and filming, top notch. Nice reaction.
It’s a great movie you cry baby 😅 ok I’m an ex fighter and I confess I shed a tear, or 3. A beautiful raw, brutal emotional roller coaster of a movie. Loved sharing it again with you 👍
I am always asking reaction channels to react to this movie,a true hidden gem and what a performance by Nick Nolte
Joel Edgerton plays some great roles & his brother directs Mr In-between 👍🏾
Easily in my top 10 favourite movies of all time!!! Just an emotional roller coaster with so many layers of emotion.. brilliant reaction 👏🏾
Tom Hardy played this role perfectly. the true heart of a Marine. winning this fight was his mission. he will give everything to complete his mission.
Nick Nolte made my heart and soul bleed with his perfomance. The casino scene where Tom Hardy's character tells him to f off, he's not wanted, and you can literally see the man crumble before your eyes, and the following scene where Nick Nolte's character is blindly drunk, listening to a voice book of Moby Dick, begging and screaming at the captain (Ahab) to turn the ship and not pursue the whale ... and then the son stops him, gets him into bed and nestles him. It's just so beautiful.
Such a great film 👏 and as an Aussie it's cool to see Joel Edgerton in this one 🇦🇺
Maybe a bit long to watch, but Tom's portrayal of Alfie Solomons in Peaky Blinders seasons 2-5 is nothing short of brilliant. And can't talk up Legend enough either. Can't wait for Animal Kingdom reaction... Joel with Ben Mendelsohn, Jackie Weaver and Guy Pearce (who also stars with Tom in Lawless). Lastly, Dark Matter with Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connolly has been an awesome series.
Brenden's fighting style seems to be patterned after Sakuraba, the greatest submission specialist and p4p goat. Koba is basically Fedor the hw goat. Tommy is possibly a mix of Wanderlei Silva and Rampage Jackson.
If you're interested in the sport at all you should look up a Sakuraba tribute video. He was the most entertaining fighter ever, who constantly face opponents 20-60lbs heavier and was a threat to all of them.
Brenden is played by Joel Edgerton, he's in tons of great movies. Heck of an actor.
I will never forget the first time I saw this film. I was busy remodeling a house to convert it to a museum. I was taking up the very old linoleum, tar paper and roofing nails from some hardware floors and hadn't eaten all day. I ordered pizza, a lot of pizza, put on this film, watched it three times in a row and basically finished that entire floor well after midnight. It was a great night though because of this film and the determination of the characters.
In my humble opinion, the single greatest artwork in the history of cinema.
One of the best movies I’ve ever watched and one of the only ones so far I’ve ever bought on a phone alone
I need everyone to react to this
I cried watching this film , First time since watching an old film called . The Champ . Some times that shield has to come down . Tom Hardy is an outstanding actor and can play anyone .
Best reaction to this movie ive seen. She understood all side. The father, tommy and whoever the guy who won was👀😂😂
So glad I found your channel! Love your reactions and your emotions! As a fellow movie lover it's great to see someone appreciate them so much! Warrior did well at the box office! Locke is a great movie completely set inside a moving car! Harding is in a lot more of great stuff so if Joel! Hardy is also in The Dark Knight Rises as Bane and he's really big size wise in it! I'd love for you to watch my favorite movie "Rocky" the first one! Cheers from Canada!
this just popped in my feed!... Respect!... Indeed excelent choice to watch and great heartfelt reaction for an excelent movie that not many chose to react!... Choices, trauma and past lack of affections makes everyone from the characters to the audience, go into an emotional journey with this unforgettable extraordinary movie!
I loved this when I first saw it. And I cried a lot. It’s just a wonderful film. They are both fighting their demons. As is their father.
This was the movie that made me want to train MMA and i loved every min of it gotta get back at it. Tommy is the bull that unstoppable force that just runs through his opponents, Brenden is the technical fighter that uses his ground techniques loved how they gave each brother there own fighting style
This was such an underrated movie. Great reaction!!!
Former active duty Marine here. When someone goes AWOL or Absent Without Leave and then caught (depending on how long they were AWOL) it can be anywhere from non judicial punishment which can lead to loss of rank, confinement to the barracks and loss of rank, or,and based on circumstances or it can lead to a Court Martial which could lead to confinement and dishonorable discharge.
Another good film with hardy id recommend legend. He played twin mobsters with two completely different personalities!
This movie is so underrated, sad family drama with some fight scenes in between and it takes you on an emotional rollercoaster! Don’t lie everyone tears up in this movie! Nick Noltes best film
this story hits home for me and my brother, and our father who punished us everyday by giving us hidings and spared my sisters, I ran away from home and my big brother got addicted to crack, he ain't got long to go because his drug habits have caughten up on him and I just graduated with a degree in creative arts from University. I watched this film and it took me 20 years to forgive my dad, unfortunately my brother cannot! I hope my bro and my father can make their peace before there time is up.
If you enjoy Tom Hardy you should check out "Lawless" if you haven't already seen it. It has Tom Hardy and Shia LaBeouf in it. It's another one of Tom Hardy's great performances and an overall really entertaining movie. I think most people would consider Lawless one of his biggest/most memorable roles.
I thought it was such a nice touch with how the brothers picked up on their fathers mannerisms even though they rejected his very existence. The "tsk" the father does with his upper lip was mirrored by Brendan on the beach.
Reacting to one of my favourite movies... yeah that is an automatic subscribe.
This movie always brings a tear to my eye, it is one of the most underrated movies made in the last 20+ years.
Massively underrated movie. Doesn't get the love it should. Great reaction!
Great underrated movie.. noone get out unscathed from getting in touch with their emotions watching this one
Fantastic reaction Christine! Please never apologize for being real. Keep it up and be your genuine self.
I almost cried at the end of your reaction to This is England because of how much you cried - I’m guessing it’ll happen again here 😭. I make an ugly cry / trying not to cry face when I watch this one lol
Heard another reviewer say "thats a long way to go to get your brother back" and damn... its absolutely true. He was fighting to get tommy back into his life. And tommy never tapped until he said "i love you tommy".
Tom Hardy's movie LEGEND, which is based on a true story about London Gangsters twin brothers, famously known as the KRAY TWINS, is an absolute treat to watch, Tom's done loads of shades from being funny, to goofy, and absolutely eccentric,... Tom Hardy, chefs kiss,...
👩🍳 💋
Ladies have had tear jerkers like "Terms of Endearment" and "Steel Magnolias" for a while
(GREAT movies)...
But it's movies like "Warrior" and "The Champ" that men need sometimes.
I cry every time I watch this, and I cried with you watching your response video.
Thank you for seeing what a beautiful movie this is (my personal top 10 of all time).
We need these types of movies sometimes! A good cry can be good for the soul :)
15:34 I could tell from the first teary moment you’d be done for when his dad relapsed. That’s when I came apart having been that son
You have to continue doing reactions to good movies! The way you related to this movies was really understanding I feel the same with so many movies I have to watch alone. I subscribed and good reaction! Do more! I just became a big fan!
I was loudly sobbing leaving this movie in theaters and I still cry at the ending every time I see it, even right now watching your video I'm a mess as soon as that music starts in the last round and it goes over the edge at the end before they walk out.
Hey fun fact I’m a purple belt in jiu jitsu in a well known affiliation in England and I got to spar Tom hardy one day when he turned up to a training one day such a nice and down to earth guy couldn’t believe it
Amazing!!
20:44 That guy is Anthony 'rumble' Johnson. He died from non-Hodgkins lymphoma on november 13th, 2022. He was just 38 years old.
I really liked this reaction. Haven't seen this film since I watched it in theaters but it left a lasting impression. Went for the MMA, but this is so much more.
