Almost Famouse Reaction: th-cam.com/video/C4ctJUFaXkI/w-d-xo.html
I think everyone cried the first time they saw this one.
@zzzroxyzzz
Nope, not everyone
I honestly hate that movie .. their relationship sucks .. her fiance is way better man than Noah, and she's a freakin cheater who didn't even feel remorse for cheating on her loyal, kind finace
Disgusting all around ... Love is not that rubbish for sure
😂😂
Yep. And I'm super stoic. But I'm also an empath. Great movie ❤
I'm an odd guy. I'm not especially macho. I literally cry at some Sarah McLachlan songs. And yet I pretty much never cry at movies. I just don't seem to suspend disbelief or get invested enough. On some level the characters just stay as characters for me I think.
Which almost made me wonder "Okay what if it were real, would I cry at say a documentary?" And the answer to that is "yes, sometimes." Or at least there was a documentary on the Rwandan genocide that just wrecked me. (Also on very rare occasions I have cried at fiction movies if the movie plays a song that tends to make me cry or if it really intensely evokes an actual trauma in my past.)
Try every time! 😭
Yes she did, they were meant to be together & were torn apart. This movie is special to me cause my mom had dementia & my dad stayed with her till he died of cancer.
I’ve seen this movie 100 times and I still cry. The actress playing the older woman Gena Rowlands, her son made this movie and now sadly she is living with this disease.
Loved her in what I deem an ‘underseen’ film: Once Around w Richard Dreyfus, Danny Aiello, and Holly Hunter🩷
Oh my gosh. I bawled my eyes out when I read this book, and I bawled my eyes out when I saw the movie.
It’s really nice and refreshing seeing a man appreciate this movie. Great reaction!
Do men usually not appreciate it?
I feel like this is one all Men should like. It didn't make the main man the bad guy and he gets the happy ending.
I think "romantic dramas" do tend to "code female" a bit. But not sure this one did. A man wrote it, the story is narrated by a man, and the guy gets the girl despite acting a tad mentally unstable IMO in his youth. So I didn't think it necessarily had the "women's picture" reputation.
There are some ''chick flicks'' that appeal to mean as well. Mean girls and Devil wears Prada are some of them.
@@dyldog That’s a good question, honestly I see a lot of men who judge movies like this without even having seen them. So maybe if they’re open minded enough to watch in the first place they’re more likely to appreciate it. ☺️
This version cut the ending. The original ending has the nurse coming in the morning to check and find them gone, together, holding each other. Yeah I sobbed my heart out.
I don't care if it's cheesy or cliché , this movie always gets me.. reminds me of my first true love. It's very sweet, and I am so happy to see you react to it! Always a pleasure to see you upload! :)
I'm going a different route and mention James Garner and Gena Rowlands as Noah and Ellie. Two legends of the Golden Age of Hollywood. James with many movies such as "Victor/Victoria"(1982), "Murphy's Romance"(1985) and "The Children's Hour"(1961), Gena with "Tony Rome"(1967) and "Gloria"(1980). I would also like to point out Gena's son, Nick Cassavetes was the Director to this movie "The Notebook" Love this movie, never get tired of it and always makes me cry. Thank u for this reaction. Always look forward to them!
James Garner was also legendary on the TV screen, with hit shows like Maverick, and The Rockford Files.
Also, let’s not forget Joan Allen, a quite accomplished actress in her own right, with a Best Actress Tony and three Oscar nominations, 1 for Best Actress and two for Supporting Actress.
@@tracithomas6543 I loved that too. I loved Rockford 👍🏼
Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams dated for several years in the mid-2000s after making this movie, although they had a hard time filming together (they weren't together then).
It’s very paint by numbers, and there are a few things to object to from a real world perspective…but it’s a guilty pleasure of mine. Love the movie.
Usually, if reactors are going to do a tear-jerker, they pick this movie or it wins a poll. Trust me, the movie, MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE (starring Kevin Costner & Robin Wight) I believe is the ultimate Romantic tear-jerker out there. It is my favorite movie of all time. James, you WILL need a box of tissues ready. Please react to it.
The part where Rachel Mcadams cried was where I cried the most. She cried so convincingly, she's a very great actress. Anyway, I think we focused so much on the ending and how sad it was. But we gotta remember, 50-60 years of happy marriage and being that inseparable even at that age. That's extremely rare in most marriages. Can't ask for more than that right? It's actually a happy ending movie come to think of it.
You might also know Rachel McAdams (the younger Allie) from her performance as Regina George in Mean Girls (for some reason, i thought you had done a reaction to THAT, if youve havent...you should)
If you didn’t cry I would have thought something is wrong with you. I don’t know anyone who can make it to the end and not cry. Still gets me all these years later 😭
Some other titles for the main actors:
*Ryan Gosling (Noah)* - La La Land (Oscar nomination for Best Actor); Half Nelson (Oscar nomination for Best Actor); Barbie (Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor); The Place Beyond the Pines; Remember the Titans; Lars and the Real Girl; The Big Short
*Rachel McAdams (Allie)* - Spotlight (Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress); Mean Girls; Game Night; A Most Wanted Man; Southpaw
*James Garner (Older Noah)* - Murphy's Romance (Oscar nomination for Best Actor); Space Cowboys; Grand Prix; Cash McCall
*Gena Rowlands (Older Allie)* - A Woman Under the Influence (Oscar nomination for Best Actress); Gloria (Oscar nomination for Best Actress); Faces; Hope Floats; The Mighty
I knew you would cry; one would have to be without a heart to not be moved to tears by the story of her Alzheimer's and him reading their love story to her to bring her back, however briefly.
As a movie, I think she made the right decision. If this was reality, it would be a "no." A super volatile relationship that even got physically abusive at times is clearly not a stable one. This works as a romance in a film but likely wouldn't have gone the distance in real life. Happily, though, movies let us suspend reality and enjoy some escapism, which this provides, along with a sweet, poignant story of the elderly couple coping with what so many have to as one of the spouses loses their memories and begins to drift away....
She and the fiance look like each other. Same cheekbones.
I cried my eyes out... again 😭
Nice reaction,james.Nicholas sparks writes beautiful but tragic stories.I like the notebook very much,but I wonder why they didn't pick "a walk to remmber"? That one tears my heart out.
Noah: Come to New York? What am I going to do in New York?
Also Noah: *moves to Atlanta to build skyscrapers* 😮
GUESS WHERE THERE ARE A TON OF SKYSCRAPERS?!?!?!
I think what's so unique about this movie is that Lon... wasn't a bad guy. He loved Allie, he was patient and understanding and tried to do right by her even after she didn't do the same for him. It would have been easy to make him a villain but instead they made him a good guy... which just made her choice harder. Very effective story-telling.
I really feel bad for that guy
They changed the town and states for the movie, but the author placed the book's story in my home town and his, New Bern. NC
Yes she made the right choice
I remember my aunt rented this when it came out when I was 12. Never expected it to become as popular as it is now but it's easy to see why. I always loved that it takes place in North Carolina, like many other Nicholas Sparks stories. 💕
A great tearjerker movie is What Dreams May Come with Robin Williams. It got watched a lot after he passed away. It became even more heart breaking knowing he was gone.
You've seen Steel Magnolias, correct? If so, you should have recognized his father as Dolly Parton's husband, Spud, from that movie. Sam Shephard was an amazing actor, playwright, director, screenwriter...
You possibly do know of one other actor in this. Allie’s mom was also the mom in Pleasantville, which I think you said you’ve seen, but haven’t edited for TH-cam yet. So you actually know two!
The guy who played the fiance is James Marsden if you've ever seen enchanted or X-Men.
A great tear jerker is A Walk to Remember. Another Nicholas Sparks novel.
Money is great, but it's not everything it cannot buy love, but love is forever if you've truly found it and it's not easy to love someone either, sometimes you're going to fight sometimes, but deep down there is still that spark that tells you that this person is your everyday life that you want to wake up beside you, when someone is there for you no matter what, that is worth more than anything else in the world then to have that special person there for you for good. I cried in the ending of it. The dying at the same time.
But that's my input on this commentary chat.
Hey James I think you would love the movie Night at the Museum
Added to my list, thanks for the suggestion.
I fell asleep watching it. But that could be attributed to the fact that I would watch four movies a day back then. I would come home for four days a month and made sure I watched all the movies that were coming out. And back then we had weekly countdowns of the top movies and there were plenty of good ones. So I'd hire those from the Video store, daily four and watch them. So I'd be sleepy too.
This was listed as Nicholas Sparks' great novels and made into a movie. And there was a rain scene with Ryan Gosling and the Mean girl. So it was a must watch. I used to think Sparks was a woman.
Yesss she did
One of my favorite movies. I've seen it so many times and I cry every time.
Is there any other love-story movie that is more touching than this one? I'd put their love up against Rose and Jack's relationship any day.
Oh my goodness. This is in my top 5 favorite movies. I cried most of the movie! If you think this was a tear jerker....please watch Bridges of Madison County. NO ONE has reacted to it. It has Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. PLEASE!!!❤
2 movies I guarantee will bring tears to your eyes: In America, and Hachi: A Dog's Tale.
I keep nominating Hachi on patreon, and it never gets any votes. So frustrating
@@frednich9603 Weird. A great movie.
Perks of Being A Wallflower should make your “Watch later” list if you haven’t seen it.
If you have a brother and you want one that will bring manly tears to you I highly recommend warrior
Makes me cry- every single time.
Part of the struggle is Lon ISN’T a bad guy!! One feels torn- perhaps not similarly btwn them, but perhaps similarly in knowing the wanted outcome will suck for a Not Bad Dude🫤
My fav line: If you’re a bird… I’m a bird.😭😭
And the argument scene- ‘Well that’s what we do; we fight! And it’s gonna be hard, but that’s what I wanna do.’ absolutely, 💯 me and my hubby of nearly 30yrs. (Yes- I confess… I can be a pain in the arse w a record rebound time😂).
I could have sworn you’d done MeanGirls🤔 I will FOREVER have trouble reconciling Allie with Regina George😬😂
As always- wonderful reaction. Never wasted time catching a flick w you☺️
Stay safe & love big💖
Hi James.. This is one of the best .. I hope you enjoyed the show.
It looks like you're going out after this movie reaction with your nice shirt cool 👍
35:41 She did say she wanted time away. 🧠
Hi james, how are you doing? Good to see you. Love your shirt. I like the Iowa gear and the t shirts and all, but it's great that you are leveling up you style. You look really nice! Hows your mom's treatments going? How ie she doing?
Dangit this movie gets me everytime. 😭
I cried watching you cry😂
Omg you just keep watching the tear jerkers. lol
I used to ask all the girls gushing over this on Yahoo Answers if they would lie in the intersection and watch the traffic lights at night.
They'd reply no way, that was a sure way to get run over by a truck.
Yahoo Answers was a fun thing back then.
I have a recommendation for the list - (The Indian In The Cupboard 1995)
I say actors too. Don’t mean any harm, but it’s just that’s what I do. 😊
In the book she majors in art and is told she has a huge future, however Lon doesn't understand or like her art so she stops painting. He doesn't make her. Noah understood from the beginning. Lon is a lawyer and wants to go into politics and she is bored out of her mind. , When Noah goes back to work on the house he has one friend an older black man. Martha is in the book, but she has 3 kids and a very run down house and Noah fixes her house, but doesn't have a relationship with her.
Oh boy... This is my wife's favorite movie of all time. I'm not sure if I'm going to make it through this one in its entirety. lol
James Marsden made a mini-career playing men who loved women who loved someone else.
You should react to all Nicholas Sparks Movies
Sweet ❤.....
Have you seen The Fall Guy, or Barbie. What is weirder him hanging on the Ferris Wheel and him her being worried, but then pulling his pants down making it much more difficult to get down. Ryan and Rachel didn't get along on the set at all.
Omg i remember that movie
Movie reaction request: Venom (2005)
Ending was a bit different than I remember.
he either skipped or missed the important part at the end
@@tapoemt3995 I just realized the some versions of this on streaming removed the death scene! th-cam.com/video/0j2aAf-oLOg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=SYHuWspYH9I5YzFk
I must of been hit with the Mandela effect because, I thought you reacted to THE WIZARD OF OZ, would love to see it here, movies with you are so much better.
i've seen it
@AwesomeUSMovies Yeah i thought so, just couldn't find it here sir. Thanks for your videos.
@@THEMOECOOPERSHOWTM He might have seen it before the channel even. I think he said he'd seen very few movies before the channel but I didn't think it was literally zero. Like I believe he saw "Field of Dreams" before the channel because he's from Iowa.
Don’t care what anyone says, I love this film ❤
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 0:19
No I did not.
I understand the message, but I don't like the love story here.
I don't like that movie .. never did
I don't like their relationship.. it's very unhealthy and immature
Her fiance is way better than Noah (is that Ryan Gosling's name)
And she's a cheater who didn't even feel remorse for cheating on her kind and loyal fiance
That is not romantic, nor is it what love is or what love should be like
I call that bad representation of passion and love
Also, for the old couple, I don't like their acting .. and that is also not how Alzheimer works
Reading the synopsis alone, before watching your reaction, made me throw up a little. It is interesting how much we glorify cheating and portray the cheated male wanting her back as some sort of virtue at the same time that the opposite case is rare if not nonexistent. I could never find a movie with a similar plot but with the gender roles reversed.
You are so sweet cheers from argentina
If you wanted a cry poll. CLICK Starring Adam Sandler definitely could have won, and you'd hug your kids so hard after seeing it probably.
Click was on the poll, and it lost
@frednich9603 then choices should be made from a loser poll, because you lost the opportunity to see one of Sandler's finest.
