Charlie’s friend enables him because of the trauma of watching her brother slowly starve himself. She would beg Alan to eat something, anything at all. Through Charlie, she’s feeding Alan, finally. It’s a weird, confusing thing, but it’s so, unbelievably real.
🐋Brendan Frasier brilliantly embodies a man hopeful of others but tired of himself. To be sure "The Whale" can be a difficult watch as is the case with Aronofsky's "Requiem for a dream" and "Black Swan." but to me it never came across as uncaring or exploitative. I feel this tremendous affection for Charlie and great sadness for him. If he truly believes people are capable of great generosity of heart , if he means what he says when he tells the hatefull Ellie she's an amazing person, why doesn't he want to stick around to see Ellie flourish? Why does he seem so resigned to his fate and so unwilling to do anything about it? I think Charlie's believe is that he has reached the point of no return and all he wants to do is hear a certain essay about "Moby Dick" that was written long ago and carries great meaning to him, maybe to achieve some last sort of resolution with Ellie and to make her see that beneath her cruelty, that she truly is amazing and that he simply wasn't equipped to be her father all those years ago. It's been said that literature and drama and poetry hold up a mirror to humanity, and movies certainly do that.🎭 I gotta say i'm very surprised you picked this one Maureen. The only other movie that made me cry as much as this one was Clint Eastwood's "Million Dollar Baby"... and that is a great film. 💔🌿
This isn;t an enjoyable movie, but it is beautiful in its own way. And Brendan Frasier(and the lead actress too) delivered an unbelievable performance.
Part of me really wants you to watch this director’s magnum opus (Requiem for a Dream) because you feel the empathy I did, but the other part feels evil because it’s so heartbreaking
Watched this the first time by myself, in my room. I was so glad the door was closed because aside from Passion of the Christ, I audibly bawled my eyes out during this. That's the second movie to make me do that. Still makes me tear up to this day.
Damn this movie… Made me cry so damn hard, absolutely beautiful. Quick interesting fact about the original script: Ellie actually killed the bird with the plate…
If you loved this one with Brendan Fraser I’d love to see you react to George Of The Jungle it’s a real fun light hearted film, keep up the great work!

Tears aplenty. I was emotionally exhausted at the end, but I didnt mind: it was beautiful, touching and honest.
Awww Me too! I was so fresh at the beginning but by the end!! 🥲

I was so emotionally drained after watching; yes too many different ways their lives could have gone! Thanks for watching with me! 😊
@@ScreenMaureen Thank you Maureen, I could tell you needed a break.🫂
I loved this movie so much
This isn;t an enjoyable movie, but it is beautiful in its own way. And Brendan Frasier(and the lead actress too) delivered an unbelievable performance.
There's at least a couple of moments in this movie that make me stream tears every time without fail.
For me too and more! 🥲

A lot of people don't realize, but at the end when he lifts off the floor was supposed to be symbolize that he died right there in front of her.
I am yet to see someone who didn't understand that :|
I thought it meant that he got abducted by aliens.
I'm pretty sure everyone with 2-3 brain cells knew exactly what that meant.
And here I thought he was doing pull-ups
He didn’t actually walk to her at the end he died on the couch but that’s what he thought in his head as he was dying
