Never thought I’d hear Cassie say “I’ll kill you” 😂😂😂 Edit: I’m so glad Cassie could see the pain and shame in Dan’s monologue. It’s very simple, but very heavy, and I feel it’s a struggle many fathers go through
Aye. She had a very visceral reaction to Dan's murder and quite the attachment to his character. I thought she'd be moved by his honor but was not expecting that.
I very much appreciate how visceral and genuine Cassie’s (and Carly’s) reactions are. This was the first reaction channel I discovered, when the channel was only a few months old, and I have been introduced to so many new movies through it, and I’m a huge movie fan. It’s honestly been so awesome to see Cassie grow as a channel and as a movie fan 😌
Damn, Russell Crowe and Christian Bale are absolutely incredible together in this film. They play off each other so well. And Ben Foster is the cherry on top. Definitely my favorite modern western. And no one ever reacts to it, so thank you for watching it. What a treat!
Cassie actually said the words “I’ll kill you!” Y’all we’re corrupting our most innocent human with these movies 😂😂 That’s also a testament to Ben Foster’s acting. His performance was the best in this movie IMO. He was truly hateable from beginning to end.
Yeah, she's kind of been through it lately. Rumor has it that "No!" she let out during *that* part of The Departed has reached Jupiter, if not farther.
Your reaction to Dan's death was everything, don't think I've seen you promise death to a character before. So glad you enjoyed this film and were able to connect to the story, its a brilliant film.
Ben foster (Charlie Prince) is a fantastic actor. Not sure if you reacted to hell or high water but that deserves a mention. Robbed of an Oscar imo. He was also in lone survivor played axe and did a great job for that film as well
The scene where Dan tells his wife about being tired of his boys going hungry and the way they look at him and the way his wife doesn't. Him being standing on one leg for years hoping but God ain't listening. This scene will stick with me forever, somehow I see my father in him at that moment not in terms of the exact situation but in terms of how much he has sacrificed for my betterment, he used to sell vegetables on streets, he joined military and today he works in a bank. He has given me everything that he himself couldn't have ever dreamt of. I'll be forever grateful to my father. This scene clearly depicts a father's desperation.
Don't put it past a good person to do terrible things for those they care about. Cassie's big heart I think is often mistaken for weakness. I believe in a true crossroads of choice she would surprise most. Go get'm Cass! You're a beautiful prson inside and out and I have no doubt you have warrior traits inside you.
3:10 to Yuma is a remake of the 1957 classic version with Glenn Ford, but it's also an incredibly underrated film. A great cast, great musical score, James Mangold who directed the film has a fantastic filmography: "Cop Land" (1997), "Girl, Interrupted" (1999), "Kate & Leopold" (2001), "Identity" (2003), "Walk the Line" (2005), "Logan" (2017), "Ford v Ferrari" (2019). He's a very underrated director. Also, Ben Foster is one of the best modern character actors, in my opinion. Speaking of which, "Hell or High Water" (2016) would be great for this channel.
The relationship between Dan and Ben in this film is absolutely fascinating. Dan's son is right that Ben really isn't all bad. He's a rotten SOB. But that's due in large part to his bad start in life which put him on a path he feels he can no longer change as his hands already have so much blood on them. Ben finds himself surrounded by outlaws which are worse than him, hired guns (pinkerton) who only do the 'right thing' when paid a lot for it, and lawmen who will only enforce the law when it's relatively safe. This is why Dan fascinated him so much. Dan is truly a moral good man. He wants to do the right thing. Not just for the money but so his family can be proud of him for having the moral courage to do it. Dan is everything Ben wishes he could have been in another life.
Spot on, I also think that at the end he saw helping Dan get him on that train as more than just him showing he respected Dan, it felt almost as if ben saw helping dan as way of bringing himself some hope of being a better man, and when Charlie shot him that hope died for himself.
Yes, I love the end to this movie. If you pay attention, Ben Wade has zero respect for any man he has ever encountered throughout his life. From his own father, to his gang who he describes as a wild animals, Butterfield who values money over human lives, the Pinkerton who murdered countless Natives, and this list goes on. Dan is truly the only man he can't find fault in. Ben is not suddenly going to become a good guy, he still has every intention of escaping from Yuma again. But killing his own gang and getting on the train was the best way he could've helped Dan and his family. Dan's family will prosper because of Butterfield's promise, and Dan will be respected.
Dan also want to do it because he never did anything honorable or of mention during civil war and his big regrets in life is not being a hero figure to his son.
Ben doesn't kill his crew because he feels they're all monsters. He kills his crew, and especially Charlie, for their dishonerable act. Ben is a criminal, and a killer, but he's shown to have a code, and throug their journey Dan earns his respect which is why he agrees to board the Yuma train. But Charlie's dishonerable, cowardly act of shooting Dan (an honerable father and husband) in the back after they had already "lost" (Ben was on the train) triggers Ben's anger, so he guns them all down.
there was no way for Charlie's character to know anything about Dan. Wade just had it with Charlie and he knew that he had to kill everyone if he wanted to get rid of him. They even set this up when Wade kills one of his own guy in that carriage raid
@@alexferreira4235 I guess you missed Charlie's line (spoken immediately after he kills Dan), "for a one-legged rancher, he's one tough son of a b**ch." Charlie obviously wasn't close with Dan, but he knew who he was and what he was doing.
The fact that Ben kinda hates his guys is hinted at more than once. When he offers to slip down to Mexico with the woman at the bar (abandoning his guys even after saying he’d meet them later), and seems actually disappointed when she refuses, and then later describing them as “animals” who he “wouldn’t last five minutes” with unless he was rotten as hell. He was tired of them, they were useful because they were willing to be violent for him but he didn’t like them, and he liked and admired Dan. After they killed his new friend, it was game over.
I think Ben is also scared of his gang, and Charlie in particular. He forces himself to be worse than them just to not get killed himself. Charlie's obsession with him is also pretty terrifying. You almost feel like he feels just as trapped by his gang as the heroes.
@@MandoWookie I don't think Wade was scared of Charlie and the gang, I think he was weary of them like any outlaw or gangster leaders are of the people who follow them. Wade was a murderer and a sociopath, his actions showed that. He killed just to kill many times and it was not to try and prove to his men he was a killer, or felt he had to be worse then his men. they already knew je was worse tham them. I would not say Wade took pleasure in killing because he was a sociopath. A psychopath takes pleasure on killing and torturing, but a sociopath has no emotions at all about it. To them its just like stepping on a cockroach. No feelings about it what so ever.
This and Open Range are two of my favorite movies. I have a lot of health problems and your channel is good at taking my mind off of feeling bad. Thank you for that.
This film feels like it’s underseen, yet at the same time very popular. It's definitely, I would say, one of the best remakes made within the last twenty years.
@@bnaction I liked aspects of it but it definitely dragged at points. I know it dragged because it was trying to touch on deeper questions of what it means to be a "good person" and what it means to be "a man". At the same time that didn't totally work for me. Having said that it has a special place in my heart because it was one of the last movies I watched with my dad before he died and he really liked it.
@@gregquinn7817 This is the first time I've EVER heard this movie referred to as a "cult classic." Lol good lord. Between everything being sO uNderRateD and now a cult classic, you people need to really pick up a dictionary.
When you were thinking of a western with Leonardo DiCaprio in it, I think you were confusing this one with "The Quick and the Dead". That one starred Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, and Russell Crowe, with Leo and quite a few other character actors you might recognize.
Wow, what a great reaction! 32:08 is why Cassie has so many subscribers. “I’ll kill you!” lol, that was great and you can see that emotional intensity was real.
Ending to this movie is allegory for the Penitent Thief. Dan represents the sacrifice of Christ, Ben the Penitent thief, and Charlie the thief who in death mocked Christ. Ben even looks at a Crucifix on the grip of his pistol before repenting having witnessed Dan's sacrifice and kills his gang.
"A Beautiful Mind" (2001) is the Russell Crowe movie that you and your sister need to watch. Oscar winner for Best Picture, the story is true and inspiring, the movie memorable and commendable.
A "Pinkerton" referred to the Pinkerton Detective Agency, which in the wild west days, became famous for chasing down stage coach / bank robbers and badmen of all kinds. It still exists today as Pinkerton Security and Investigations.
This is one of my favorite movies… I think its criminally underrated. It’s a showcase of acting by Christian Bale, who is one of the best actors of our generation
This remake does a fantastic job of representing the old western trope of the flawed hero who pushes towards his own end, but maintains his dignity, mostly strictly and honorably. Most remakes don't do such an amazing job of retaining that old emotional concept. This remake went above and beyond. The actors definitely brought thier A-game. Toward the end, your shouting emotionally, justly shows how invested you were. Congratulations partner.
I don't know how a hundred people can recommend westerns in these comments and barely mention "High Noon." Not just a great western, one of the greatest movies ever made, in any genre -- rated #33 on AFI's list of the 100 greatest movies ever made, the highest-ranked western and it's not even close (the next highest-rated western is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid at #54).
The reason Ben went along with Dan is because he knew he could escape the prison and he wanted Dan to get the credit and the money for getting him on the train. Ben saw the honor in Dan.
Maybe check out 'Silverado.' It's a fun Western that hits the classic notes: Saloons, bad guys/good guys, quick draw shootouts. Really great cast too! I think it may have also been the introduction of a very young Kevin Costner. He played a very different character than many of the roles he's mainly known for today.
Yep dude is correct..Silverado pretty good western with very good young cast. Young Scott Glenn and very youg Kevin Costner played brothers. Believe it was Costners first big time casting role but he did played a dead guy in some other famous movie before this one..can't remember the name.
Yes, Silverado is just what Cassie needs to lighten the heavy western mood she's had from Unforgiven and 3:10. A fun movie that doesn't break her heart in the end.
ROFL. When Cassie said, “I’ll kill you!” It was so jarring & out of character to hear her say that I actually shouted, “Cassie!” Like a parent disciplining a child. That was amazing!
You should definitely watch The miniseries Lonesome Dove. Perfect Allstar cast. One if not the best Westerns ever. The novel won The Pulitzer for Larry MCMurtry. The Film is very true to the book. Won an Emmy and 2 Golden Globes.
i love how the bad guy in white has so much love and loyalty for ben. Even if ben kills him in the end. There is nothing in this world like honoring brotherly devotion.
Awesome film, my favourite scene is before the final shoot out when Christian Bale is telling his son he has all of his best qualities “what few there are” Russel crow realises he is a really decent man Brilliant scene
Cassey, I think you are empathic. I have read the book, seen both movie several times. This was one of my father's favorites. I felt it more watching it with you here, Thank you.
Great reaction, Cassie. It breaks my heart when you get so upset watching a movie. A couple more Western movies to consider: Lonesome Dove and Broken Trail.
Ben Foster. An actor's actor and is among the finest of his generation. It doesn't matter if the film is good, bad or mediocre, his performance will be reliably strong each time. 'Leave No Trace' and 'Hell Or High Water' are two displays of his talent with meatier roles.
The "machine gun" is a Gatling gun. The earliest type of "machine gun"...it was hand cranked. The pinkletons were a private security force which often had close to police powers. Often hired by big corporations. They would do legitimate security things but also do things like break strikes using violence on striking workers.
@@markhamstra1083 a private security/detective agency. in the late 1800s they were known to be particularly brutal in service of their clients. the writer Dashiell Hammett worked for them and based a lot of his detective stories on his experiences from tht.
Open Range is really good also...The reason 3:10 To YUMA ( 2007 ) if you pay attention to the dialogue between Russel Crowe character ( Ben Wade) and Christian Bale dialogue ( Dan Evans ) it really builds at the end when he is speaking about his son played by Logan Lerman ( William Evans ) and the story ends up being about redemption.
"I'll Kill You" caught me off guard. I didn't take her for the vengeful type but there are a bunch of movies where it is objectively true that anybody who acts a certain way NEEDS TO DIE. Not should die or a dozen other things. They need to die because they are too dangerous to the rest of the human race to be allowed to continue living. Them being alive is the going to cause a significant decrease in the human population of the planet kinda murderer.
A couple of other fantastic modern westerns are Open Range starring Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall and Appaloosa starring Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen. Both come highly recommended!
If you liked Christine Bale in this, he has done another outstanding western called, "Hostiles" in 2017, along with Rosamund Pike and Ben Foster (Charlie Prince in this movie). It is a very good watch. Pretty sure you will enjoy it.
@@MI519 it's all subjective really. I used to not be able to watch dark, story driven, slow burn movies a long time ago...now they're one of my favorites to watch, away from all the MCU madness etc...People who call it boring don't have the attention capacity to sit through a movie like that, and I don't mean that as a bad thing to those people. Some people like action, suspense, romance, slow burn...it's all subjective.
Cassie; Mel Gibson was the original MAD MAX, also ROAD WARRIOR AND BEYOND THUNDERDOME AS MAX. Mel Gibson chick flick “WHAT WOMEN WANT” Kevin Costner “ THE POSTMAN” love story !
Great reaction! I love how Ben Wade helps Dan find some redemption and especially so in front of his son. He’s certainly a bad guy, but his willingness to risk it all for Daniel in the end is always one of my favorite parts of this film.
Realllllly excited to see you diving into Western movies. Like everyone else, I'm going to give you some of my recommendations (forgive me if you've seen some of them already). These are in no particular order, except for the first one. The first one on the list, in my opinion, is the greatest western ever put on screen: 1. Lonesome Dove (it's a 4 part mini series, it's incredible, the Godfather of Westerns) 2. Jeremiah Johnson (one of my favorite movies of all time, maybe more of a Frontier genre than Western) 3. Tombstone 4. Open Range 5. Outlaw Josey Wales (really almost all of Clint Eastwood's westerns are great) 6. Appaloosa 7. Wyatt Earp 8. Unforgiven 9. Django Unchained 10. Dances with Wolves 11. Bone Tomahawk 12. Pale Rider 13. Good Bad and the Ugly 14. Quigley Down Under 15. Silverado (this should be wayyyy higher on the list) 16. There Will Be Blood (not technically a Western) 17. The Revenant (Frontier genre)

Dear Cassie, you really do make the best reaction videos. For those of us who have seen all these old movies and felt the feels long ago, you can't know how powerful and beneficial your uploads are. Thank you so much for sharing.
Those damn round clocks still get me too sometimes, no shame! But still utterly hilarious and infinitely endearing to see Cassie visually stutter over it, TWICE, and admit this weakness on video...!! 😂
Ben Wade was, in Dungeons & Dragons parlance, chaotic neutral. He had some semblance of a code of honor like a pirate... in his own strange way. That's why Dan's plight moved him, he killed the guy who burned down Dan's barn, and he saw that his men were indeed monsters worse than even him, and shot them dead. However, he was only going to honor the deal he made to Dan just enough, so that the Pinkertons thought Dan came through and paid out the money owed... and then he would make his escape to rob and loot again.
Very underrated film, IMHO. Really captures the gritty ideology at how cruel things can be in life. I can also suggest a few things to consider reacting to, although I entirely understand these requests are probably a dime a dozen for any channel watching movies. For that reason, I'm going to bring up obscure titles that don't get enough attention. Hide and Seek (2005) Only one person I'm aware of: ThatGuyWithTheMicrophone now known as Dyl and Jen REACTS covered this. Didn't get nearly enough attention it deserved. Very suspenseful while making full sense by the end, aka not hard to follow. Cast: Robert De Niro, Dakota Fanning, Dylan Baker, Famke Janssen, Elisabeth Shue, Amy Irving and Melissa Leo. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2011) Easily the most emotionally upsetting film I've seen in decades. I can't even bring myself to watch again. A must see. Out of everything that doesn't have a reaction here on RUclips, I couldn't be any more upset about not being covered. Cast: Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, Viola Davis, Thomas Horn, Max von Sydow, John Goodman and Jeffrey Wright. Same director as Billy Elliot, The Hours and The Reader. Identity (2003) Another sleeper hit that I'm not aware of anyone watching. Keeps you guessing while subverting initial expectations about its seemingly basic premise. Also makes rational sense by the ending. Cast: John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet, Pruitt Taylor Vince, John C. McGinley, John Hawkes, Clea DuVall and Jake Busey. Captain Phillips (2013) Also based off a true story, immensely complex in nature as well. Very emotional and tense. Cast: Tom Hanks, Catherine Keener, Corey Johnson and Barkhad Abdi. Same director as The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, Green Zone, Bloody Sunday and United 93? The Revenant (2015) Leo finally won his coveted gold statue for this, after five previous nominations. Insanely violent, realistically brutal. Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, Domhnall Gleason and Will Poulter. Same director as Babel and Birdman or the Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance. Public Enemies (2009) Biopic of John Dillinger. Very well paced, well acted, awesome action sequences. Cast: Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Marion Cotillard, Stephen Dorff and Stephen Lang. Same director as Heat, Collateral, Miami Vice, The Insider and Blackhat. These are probably long shots, although they're worth mentioning even as creating awareness for their existence. I don't envy your task with constantly having to evaluate what to focus on at any given point. As a gaming commentator here, even only at triple digit subs, I get requests a lot of the time. Anyone else reading this comment, feel free to chime in.
Yuma is in Arizona, there was a prison there that was one of the worst prison in the country at the time. The prison is shutdown now, and now it's a tourist attraction. That's supposed to extremely haunted.
33:35 -- RE: "He's not even going to say anything?"; He probably shouldn't. Wade seems to have chosen to go on a redemption arc, something you said you wanted at the beginning of the film or at least thought seemed possible. He's already done all he could to save Dan except order Charlie to not shoot him. He immediately kills his whole gang, because they deserve it, and because he cannot be free of them, either. As he says earlier, how could a good person ever be in control of people like them? Excellent ending, IMO.
Pinkertons were the private security force of the railroads when the Trans-Continental Railroad was being built. They acted with impunity to gain land rights for the railroads. Beatings, arson, and murder were their stock and trade. The James boys (Jesse and Frank) along with their cousins the Youngers started robbing trains after Pinkertons burned down a house with a boy who had obvious mental challenges in it. The Pinkertons were so popular in certain parts of the country that people willingly hid the James and Youngers. Frank James lived out his life in Kentucky after a Kentucky court acquitted him of all wrongdoing. My great-great grandfather rode in a parade with Frank James.
“It’s not good to wish death on someone.” No you personally said “I will kill you!”😂 The actor that plays Charlie also played Axelson in Lone Survivor which you saw as well as the kid with a face full of piercings in The Punisher. Quite the acting range.
One of my favorite movies ever, was pleasantly surprised to see someone reacting to it Another underrated movie I hope you can react to is the movie The Missing with Tommy Lee Jones
OH! I’m excited for this. This is my second favorite modern Western. My favorite is also a remake - True Grit. It is an absolute must watch with Matt Damon, Jeff Bridges, and Hailee Steinfeld, all of whom were nominated for Oscars for it. (It got a million nominations. It is one of the Coen Brothers’ best films.) My favorite Western of all time, and another one that is “a Western for people who don’t like Westerns” is *The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance* . It is nearly impossible not to love that film. Happy watching!
Elvis Presley was going to get the Glenn Campbell role for a while, but the Colonel killed the deal because he wanted top billing for Elvis. Can you imagine how that would have turned out with Elvis and John Wayne on screen together?
James Stewart is so passionate just arguing for doing the right thing in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. It's a very moving performance. Carly needs to join Cassie for True Grit.
I like John Wayne's Rooster better, but Haille Steinfeld makes the movie. Eons better than Kim Darby. I didn't care for Damon's odd voice. Sounded contrived and overdone. Sooo lol I'll take Wayne, Steinfeld, and Damon with a normal voice and you have yourself a top 5 western of all time
🤠 I always recommend the western *_Silverado_* (1985). A fun western with a very young _Kevin Costner, Scott Glenn, Danny Glover, John Cleese, Jeff Goldblum, Kevin Kline_ and more. Written and directed by *_Lawrence Kasdan.¹_* Another Western worth watching IMO is *The Quick and the Dead* (1995) starring _Leonardo DiCaprio, Sharon Stone_ and _Gene Hackman._ While not western related, I also recommend *The Mexican* (2001), starring *Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts* and *James Gandolfini.* My other usual recommendations being *_The Philadelphia Story._* It stars *Jimmy Stewart* along with *Cary Grant* and *Katharine Hepburn* in a brilliant rom-com from 1940. *Spy Game* (2001) with *Brad Pitt* and *Robert Redford.* *_The Fisher King_* (1991) Directed by _Terry Gilliam,_ with _Robin Williams_ & _Jeff Bridges._ *_Inside Man_* (2006) _Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster_ and _Clive Owen._ *_The Abyss_* (1989) Dir by _James Cameron._ With _Ed Harris, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio_ and _Michael Biehn_ (Reese from Terminator & Hicks from Aliens *EDIT:* And Johnny Ringo from Tombstone). Be well! 🙋🏼♂️ ··•●✺●•·· ¹ ─ Co-writer of the _Star Wars_ films _The Empire Strikes Back_ (1980), _Return of the Jedi_ (1983), and _The Force Awakens_ (2015).

Great reaction and great cut of the movie. I think that you left all the best parts and dialogue in the reaction. For me, this is one of the best westerns along with unforgiven. The outlaw josey wales was also a great clint eastwood western.
Pinkerton is a private security guard and detective agency established around 1850 in the United States by Scottish-born American cooper Allan Pinkerton and Chicago attorney Edward Rucker (copy pasted for Ease lol)
If you want another great Christian Bale “cowboy” movie then you should definitely watch Hostiles. That film was so good from the opening right until the credits rolled. The opening itself is… mindblowing
Thanks Cassie for watching this movie, your reaction was predictably great. Awesome performances from a stellar cast. I love it when modern westerns live up to or exceed the past versions. Please consider the modern version of “True Grit”. It’s also superb.
One of my favorite modern remakes...thanks for the reaction. If you haven't yet, try "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", a John Wayne classic... A B/W film, more story driven than by the on screen action, but a great western regardless...
When i saw this film for the first time, i was really invested in Christian Bale's Dan character and hope he succeeds, when Dan got shot, i had the same reaction like Cassie here but Cassie's reaction is more emotional than me haha, shows how good this movie really is. Love this film!
Back then skinny women weren't considered desirable. They were thought to be susceptible to illness and also not likely to make it through pregnancy. This sentiment lasted all the way up through the 1950s. That's why pictures you see of most women back then they were fairly full figured. Also, another great Christian Bale western is Hostiles. Very impactful story.
Love this flick. So glad you reacted to it, even though it took second place. P.S. Cassie… the barmaid you recognized early in the film was the teenage girl from Hocus Pocus.
I've never heard you threaten to kill anyone before lol. That was kinda cute, adorable, and badass all at the same time. Luv you mutch, keep doing what you do.
Never thought I’d hear Cassie say “I’ll kill you” 😂😂😂
Edit: I’m so glad Cassie could see the pain and shame in Dan’s monologue. It’s very simple, but very heavy, and I feel it’s a struggle many fathers go through
Cassie really got into this movie.
"I'll kill you....
FOR LICKING MY FACE!!!"
Aye. She had a very visceral reaction to Dan's murder and quite the attachment to his character. I thought she'd be moved by his honor but was not expecting that.
Yeah that had me rolling
I very much appreciate how visceral and genuine Cassie’s (and Carly’s) reactions are. This was the first reaction channel I discovered, when the channel was only a few months old, and I have been introduced to so many new movies through it, and I’m a huge movie fan. It’s honestly been so awesome to see Cassie grow as a channel and as a movie fan 😌
Ben Foster is fantastic in every role he plays.
Agree!! So underrated, every time I see him in a movie I’m always pumped!
It’s more interesting since Ben Foster also played Axe in her reaction to the movie Lone Survivor
Pandorum FTW!
@@alemander_01 I really like that movie too!
Very underrated
Damn, Russell Crowe and Christian Bale are absolutely incredible together in this film. They play off each other so well. And Ben Foster is the cherry on top. Definitely my favorite modern western. And no one ever reacts to it, so thank you for watching it. What a treat!
Ben Foster kills every role.
100% they nailed this casting.
Original is better
My sentiments exactly 👏
@@orangewarm1 Not even close. This is one of those remakes that actually was better.
Cassie actually said the words “I’ll kill you!”
Y’all we’re corrupting our most innocent human with these movies 😂😂
That’s also a testament to Ben Foster’s acting. His performance was the best in this movie IMO. He was truly hateable from beginning to end.
@@LtDan-rk4si Lt. Dan. You've got legs!
And yet even his character's loyalty to Wade was a somewhat redeemable quality. So many shades of gray in this movie.
Yeah, she's kind of been through it lately. Rumor has it that "No!" she let out during *that* part of The Departed has reached Jupiter, if not farther.
#Good
@@tehdesp I feel like Leo's death in The Departed really pushed her over, lol. This is the power of films. Good and bad.
Your reaction to Dan's death was everything, don't think I've seen you promise death to a character before. So glad you enjoyed this film and were able to connect to the story, its a brilliant film.
Ben foster (Charlie Prince) is a fantastic actor. Not sure if you reacted to hell or high water but that deserves a mention. Robbed of an Oscar imo. He was also in lone survivor played axe and did a great job for that film as well
Hell or High Warwe a great movie. Jeff Bridges, Chris Pine and Ben Foster. A modern Western.
Hell or High Water is so good!!
Don't forget Pandorum.
Alpha Dog
He was great in Hostage too!
The scene where Dan tells his wife about being tired of his boys going hungry and the way they look at him and the way his wife doesn't. Him being standing on one leg for years hoping but God ain't listening.
This scene will stick with me forever, somehow I see my father in him at that moment not in terms of the exact situation but in terms of how much he has sacrificed for my betterment, he used to sell vegetables on streets, he joined military and today he works in a bank. He has given me everything that he himself couldn't have ever dreamt of. I'll be forever grateful to my father. This scene clearly depicts a father's desperation.
“I’ll kill you!” Cassie flipped from Canadian to Texan in a heartbeat 😆
That was hilarious
Don't put it past a good person to do terrible things for those they care about. Cassie's big heart I think is often mistaken for weakness. I believe in a true crossroads of choice she would surprise most. Go get'm Cass! You're a beautiful prson inside and out and I have no doubt you have warrior traits inside you.
Didn’t know that she’s a Canadian. Ha!
Let’s not get it twisted, she does live in the country that sparked the Geneva Convention 😂
3:10 to Yuma is a remake of the 1957 classic version with Glenn Ford, but it's also an incredibly underrated film. A great cast, great musical score, James Mangold who directed the film has a fantastic filmography: "Cop Land" (1997), "Girl, Interrupted" (1999), "Kate & Leopold" (2001), "Identity" (2003), "Walk the Line" (2005), "Logan" (2017), "Ford v Ferrari" (2019). He's a very underrated director.
Also, Ben Foster is one of the best modern character actors, in my opinion. Speaking of which, "Hell or High Water" (2016) would be great for this channel.
He is also directing the new Indiana Jones movie that comes out this year.
Underrated? I think he's pretty well rated haha
Wish Cop Land got more love. I think it's been criminally overlooked.
Identity is great.
It's actually not a remake, both movies were adaptations of the same short story by Elmore Leonard.
The relationship between Dan and Ben in this film is absolutely fascinating. Dan's son is right that Ben really isn't all bad. He's a rotten SOB. But that's due in large part to his bad start in life which put him on a path he feels he can no longer change as his hands already have so much blood on them. Ben finds himself surrounded by outlaws which are worse than him, hired guns (pinkerton) who only do the 'right thing' when paid a lot for it, and lawmen who will only enforce the law when it's relatively safe.
This is why Dan fascinated him so much. Dan is truly a moral good man. He wants to do the right thing. Not just for the money but so his family can be proud of him for having the moral courage to do it. Dan is everything Ben wishes he could have been in another life.
Spot on, I also think that at the end he saw helping Dan get him on that train as more than just him showing he respected Dan, it felt almost as if ben saw helping dan as way of bringing himself some hope of being a better man, and when Charlie shot him that hope died for himself.
Yes, I love the end to this movie. If you pay attention, Ben Wade has zero respect for any man he has ever encountered throughout his life. From his own father, to his gang who he describes as a wild animals, Butterfield who values money over human lives, the Pinkerton who murdered countless Natives, and this list goes on. Dan is truly the only man he can't find fault in.
Ben is not suddenly going to become a good guy, he still has every intention of escaping from Yuma again. But killing his own gang and getting on the train was the best way he could've helped Dan and his family. Dan's family will prosper because of Butterfield's promise, and Dan will be respected.
Dan also want to do it because he never did anything honorable or of mention during civil war and his big regrets in life is not being a hero figure to his son.
Couldn’t have said it better if I tried. And all of that comes through in the film because of the incredible acting from Crowe and Bale.
I'm glad to see someone look beneath the surface-level of this movie and "gets it". Man, this movie seems to go over many, many heads.
"I'll kill you" - bad ass Cassie 😆
Probably the angriest I ever saw her lol!
"Three ten to yo' momma!"
Ben doesn't kill his crew because he feels they're all monsters. He kills his crew, and especially Charlie, for their dishonerable act. Ben is a criminal, and a killer, but he's shown to have a code, and throug their journey Dan earns his respect which is why he agrees to board the Yuma train. But Charlie's dishonerable, cowardly act of shooting Dan (an honerable father and husband) in the back after they had already "lost" (Ben was on the train) triggers Ben's anger, so he guns them all down.
there was no way for Charlie's character to know anything about Dan. Wade just had it with Charlie and he knew that he had to kill everyone if he wanted to get rid of him. They even set this up when Wade kills one of his own guy in that carriage raid
@@alexferreira4235 I guess you missed Charlie's line (spoken immediately after he kills Dan), "for a one-legged rancher, he's one tough son of a b**ch." Charlie obviously wasn't close with Dan, but he knew who he was and what he was doing.
The fact that Ben kinda hates his guys is hinted at more than once. When he offers to slip down to Mexico with the woman at the bar (abandoning his guys even after saying he’d meet them later), and seems actually disappointed when she refuses, and then later describing them as “animals” who he “wouldn’t last five minutes” with unless he was rotten as hell. He was tired of them, they were useful because they were willing to be violent for him but he didn’t like them, and he liked and admired Dan. After they killed his new friend, it was game over.
I think Ben is also scared of his gang, and Charlie in particular. He forces himself to be worse than them just to not get killed himself.
Charlie's obsession with him is also pretty terrifying. You almost feel like he feels just as trapped by his gang as the heroes.
@@MandoWookie I don't think Wade was scared of Charlie and the gang, I think he was weary of them like any outlaw or gangster leaders are of the people who follow them.
Wade was a murderer and a sociopath, his actions showed that. He killed just to kill many times and it was not to try and prove to his men he was a killer, or felt he had to be worse then his men. they already knew je was worse tham them. I would not say Wade took pleasure in killing because he was a sociopath. A psychopath takes pleasure on killing and torturing, but a sociopath has no emotions at all about it. To them its just like stepping on a cockroach. No feelings about it what so ever.
"Even bad men love their mamas..." It's a great line.
My FAVOURITE Line.
nah, that's bullshit. A lot of people, me included, had really shitty mamas, which do not deserve to be loved.
The mama that abandoned him?
"the town already looks very robbed" 🤣🤣🤣😂 I love Cassie 😂
Yeah. I got a good laugh out of that too. Cassie is unintentionally funny all the time
She’s so pure that’s why we ❤ her
That was the best unintentional own I've ever heard 😂
I’ve been to that town. It’s definitely been robbed.
Used to live about 3 miles away.
This and Open Range are two of my favorite movies. I have a lot of health problems and your channel is good at taking my mind off of feeling bad. Thank you for that.
P.s the western movie with Leonardo DiCaprio is the quick and the dead starting Sharon Stone Gene Hackman along with Leonardo DiCaprio
This film feels like it’s underseen, yet at the same time very popular. It's definitely, I would say, one of the best remakes made within the last twenty years.
Basically a cult classic.
@@bnaction I liked aspects of it but it definitely dragged at points. I know it dragged because it was trying to touch on deeper questions of what it means to be a "good person" and what it means to be "a man". At the same time that didn't totally work for me.
Having said that it has a special place in my heart because it was one of the last movies I watched with my dad before he died and he really liked it.
@@gregquinn7817 This is the first time I've EVER heard this movie referred to as a "cult classic." Lol good lord. Between everything being sO uNderRateD and now a cult classic, you people need to really pick up a dictionary.
This and True Grit are a couple of remakes that are actually better than the originals 😊
@@michaelriddick7116 The True Grit remake is on a whole other level.
When you were thinking of a western with Leonardo DiCaprio in it, I think you were confusing this one with "The Quick and the Dead". That one starred Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, and Russell Crowe, with Leo and quite a few other character actors you might recognize.
Wow, what a great reaction! 32:08 is why Cassie has so many subscribers. “I’ll kill you!” lol, that was great and you can see that emotional intensity was real.
Ending to this movie is allegory for the Penitent Thief. Dan represents the sacrifice of Christ, Ben the Penitent thief, and Charlie the thief who in death mocked Christ. Ben even looks at a Crucifix on the grip of his pistol before repenting having witnessed Dan's sacrifice and kills his gang.
Interesting theory. It definitely gives all the religious imagery in the movie a deeper meaning.
"A Beautiful Mind" (2001) is the Russell Crowe movie that you and your sister need to watch. Oscar winner for Best Picture, the story is true and inspiring, the movie memorable and commendable.
A "Pinkerton" referred to the Pinkerton Detective Agency, which in the wild west days, became famous for chasing down stage coach / bank robbers and badmen of all kinds. It still exists today as Pinkerton Security and Investigations.
I just realize two of Cassie’s most emotional reactions involved Christian Bale dying in front of his son
And Russell Crowe movies. This one and Cinderella Man.
You have to watch one of the Best Westerns of 2000s TRUE GRIT (2010) by the Cohen brothers
"You're that little Maddie girl. ... What are you doing out HERE!??"
Place “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence” on your western list, beloved John Ford classic sure to rise to the top. 👌
"That's my steak, Liberty".❤
Bale, Crowe , Foster, Tudyk, Roberts, Fonda, Mol, Shaw.. SHUT THE FRONT DOOR, This is a brilliant casting dream!!
This is one of my favorite movies… I think its criminally underrated. It’s a showcase of acting by Christian Bale, who is one of the best actors of our generation
This remake does a fantastic job of representing the old western trope of the flawed hero who pushes towards his own end, but maintains his dignity, mostly strictly and honorably. Most remakes don't do such an amazing job of retaining that old emotional concept. This remake went above and beyond. The actors definitely brought thier A-game.
Toward the end, your shouting emotionally, justly shows how invested you were.
Congratulations partner.
I don't know how a hundred people can recommend westerns in these comments and barely mention "High Noon." Not just a great western, one of the greatest movies ever made, in any genre -- rated #33 on AFI's list of the 100 greatest movies ever made, the highest-ranked western and it's not even close (the next highest-rated western is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid at #54).
exactly
Hostiles is another great, yet underrated Christian Bale performance
Crow & Bail are top of game but Ben foster is so underrated, this movie is in my top 5 westerns OAT
Quigley Down Under could be a fun next western! ESPECIALLY because Alan Rickman is in it whom Cassie loved as Snape and Hans Gruber in Die Hard!
Poor Cassie, this was quite emotional and watching your reaction made me extra emotional, what a great movie!
The reason Ben went along with Dan is because he knew he could escape the prison and he wanted Dan to get the credit and the money for getting him on the train. Ben saw the honor in Dan.
Maybe check out 'Silverado.' It's a fun Western that hits the classic notes: Saloons, bad guys/good guys, quick draw shootouts. Really great cast too! I think it may have also been the introduction of a very young Kevin Costner. He played a very different character than many of the roles he's mainly known for today.
it's a glam western
Yep dude is correct..Silverado pretty good western with very good young cast. Young Scott Glenn and very youg Kevin Costner played brothers. Believe it was Costners first big time casting role but he did played a dead guy in some other famous movie before this one..can't remember the name.
Yes, Silverado is just what Cassie needs to lighten the heavy western mood she's had from Unforgiven and 3:10. A fun movie that doesn't break her heart in the end.
@@muchachonextdoor5608 She needs a good romcom then. Westerns aren't meant to be "fun"
It's a fun movie, but boy was Costner awful in it.
ROFL. When Cassie said, “I’ll kill you!” It was so jarring & out of character to hear her say that I actually shouted, “Cassie!” Like a parent disciplining a child. That was amazing!
"Every time I hear that title I think 3:10 to your mom."
As someone who grew up in Yuma I find this very hilarious 😂
The older guy that was shot during the stage coach robbery is Peter Fonda.
He was Captain America in the movie Easy Rider.
Hostiles is another underrated gem of a western also starring Christian bale
I personally liked this movie (and other good cowboy movies) and the original. Also recommend True Grit (remake >> original)
You should definitely watch The miniseries Lonesome Dove. Perfect Allstar cast. One if not the best Westerns ever. The novel won The Pulitzer for Larry MCMurtry. The Film is very true to the book. Won an Emmy and 2 Golden Globes.
i love how the bad guy in white has so much love and loyalty for ben. Even if ben kills him in the end. There is nothing in this world like honoring brotherly devotion.
I don't think I've ever sighed harder and said, "Oh, honey..." than after seeing Cassie not understand how a clock works, haha
Awesome film, my favourite scene is before the final shoot out when Christian Bale is telling his son he has all of his best qualities “what few there are”
Russel crow realises he is a really decent man
Brilliant scene
One of my favourite westerns. The Quick and the Dead is great too.
The Quick & the Dead most definitely needs to hit the reaction circuit.
It's such a goofily over the top, but also surprisingly heartfelt movie.
Sam Raimi's Quick and the Dead or Sam Elliott's Quick and the Dead?
@@leefischer5814 Raimi's.
@@leefischer5814 Oh, yes, most definitely Raimi's.
"I hate you so much!" is probably the greatest compliment you could give to Ben Foster for nailing his role as the bad guy.
He drew 3 things in this movie that he found interesting or beautiful...a bird...his lady and Dan
Cassey, I think you are empathic. I have read the book, seen both movie several times. This was one of my father's favorites. I felt it more watching it with you here, Thank you.
Great reaction, Cassie. It breaks my heart when you get so upset watching a movie. A couple more Western movies to consider: Lonesome Dove and Broken Trail.
Ben Foster. An actor's actor and is among the finest of his generation. It doesn't matter if the film is good, bad or mediocre, his performance will be reliably strong each time. 'Leave No Trace' and 'Hell Or High Water' are two displays of his talent with meatier roles.
I first saw him in "40 Days of Night."
The "machine gun" is a Gatling gun. The earliest type of "machine gun"...it was hand cranked.
The pinkletons were a private security force which often had close to police powers.
Often hired by big corporations. They would do legitimate security things but also do things like break strikes using violence on striking workers.
Pinkerton agency still exists
@@ctmdarkonestm Who are those guys?
@@markhamstra1083 a private security/detective agency. in the late 1800s they were known to be particularly brutal in service of their clients. the writer Dashiell Hammett worked for them and based a lot of his detective stories on his experiences from tht.
@@ctmdarkonestm good catch. You are right. Apparently they got away from the strike breaking after the 1930a but now they are back to it.
Open Range is really good also...The reason 3:10 To YUMA ( 2007 ) if you pay attention to the dialogue between Russel Crowe character ( Ben Wade) and Christian Bale dialogue ( Dan Evans ) it really builds at the end when he is speaking about his son played by Logan Lerman ( William Evans ) and the story ends up being about redemption.
Open Range, heck ya!!!
Open Range is amazing
Open Range, Appaloosa, Silverado, the Quick and the Dead
@@evolutionizer15 Damn, I totally forgot about watching Appaloosa. That's with Viggo and Harris right? Think I might have to rewatch that.
@@slayerje1884 ya the plot is pretty mid but the acting by viggo and Jeremy irons and the decent script make it a great watch.
Cassies two best lines “how dare you” “are those babies crying”……your priceless.
"I'll Kill You" caught me off guard. I didn't take her for the vengeful type but there are a bunch of movies where it is objectively true that anybody who acts a certain way NEEDS TO DIE. Not should die or a dozen other things. They need to die because they are too dangerous to the rest of the human race to be allowed to continue living. Them being alive is the going to cause a significant decrease in the human population of the planet kinda murderer.
you're*
@@AdoreYouInAshXI Your smart.
@@mynock250 too late to save face, bro.
A couple of other fantastic modern westerns are Open Range starring Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall and Appaloosa starring Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen. Both come highly recommended!
Appaloosa is so underrated.
Adore this 2007 version so much, I think it was the right choice above the original (sorry OG fans!)
If you liked Christine Bale in this, he has done another outstanding western called, "Hostiles" in 2017, along with Rosamund Pike and Ben Foster (Charlie Prince in this movie). It is a very good watch. Pretty sure you will enjoy it.
Oh God Hostiles was so boring. I got up and left on the middle of the movies it was so boring.
@natalie St Clair Not entertaining?
I wouldn't say you have to watch Hostiles for Bale, I find Wes Studi is the reason to watch in my opinion.
I don’t know. I thought the movie was quite good and entertaining.
You are right, Wes Studi also gave a great performance.
@@MI519 it's all subjective really. I used to not be able to watch dark, story driven, slow burn movies a long time ago...now they're one of my favorites to watch, away from all the MCU madness etc...People who call it boring don't have the attention capacity to sit through a movie like that, and I don't mean that as a bad thing to those people. Some people like action, suspense, romance, slow burn...it's all subjective.
Cassie; Mel Gibson was the original MAD MAX, also ROAD WARRIOR AND BEYOND THUNDERDOME AS MAX. Mel Gibson chick flick “WHAT WOMEN WANT” Kevin Costner “ THE POSTMAN” love story !
Great reaction! I love how Ben Wade helps Dan find some redemption and especially so in front of his son. He’s certainly a bad guy, but his willingness to risk it all for Daniel in the end is always one of my favorite parts of this film.
Cassie's "I'LL KILL YOU!" outburst startled me as much as Bilbo's crazy-faced lunge for the ring when he sees it on Frodo at Rivendell
Realllllly excited to see you diving into Western movies. Like everyone else, I'm going to give you some of my recommendations (forgive me if you've seen some of them already). These are in no particular order, except for the first one. The first one on the list, in my opinion, is the greatest western ever put on screen:
1. Lonesome Dove (it's a 4 part mini series, it's incredible, the Godfather of Westerns)
2. Jeremiah Johnson (one of my favorite movies of all time, maybe more of a Frontier genre than Western)
3. Tombstone
4. Open Range
5. Outlaw Josey Wales (really almost all of Clint Eastwood's westerns are great)
6. Appaloosa
7. Wyatt Earp
8. Unforgiven
9. Django Unchained
10. Dances with Wolves
11. Bone Tomahawk
12. Pale Rider
13. Good Bad and the Ugly
14. Quigley Down Under
15. Silverado (this should be wayyyy higher on the list)
16. There Will Be Blood (not technically a Western)
17. The Revenant (Frontier genre)
This film was one of the better modern westerns. Another great western is "Hostiles" with Christian Bale. It is amazing.
I don't know how a hundred people can recommend westerns in these comments and barely mention "High Noon." Not just a great western, one of the greatest movies ever made, in any genre -- rated #33 on AFI's list of the 100 greatest movies ever made, the highest-ranked western and it's not even close (the next highest-rated western is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid at #54).
Dear Cassie, you really do make the best reaction videos. For those of us who have seen all these old movies and felt the feels long ago, you can't know how powerful and beneficial your uploads are. Thank you so much for sharing.
"I'm tired of way everyone looks at me, and the way you don't" that line is a gut punch
Those damn round clocks still get me too sometimes, no shame! But still utterly hilarious and infinitely endearing to see Cassie visually stutter over it, TWICE, and admit this weakness on video...!! 😂
It says 2 -15!
Ben Wade was, in Dungeons & Dragons parlance, chaotic neutral. He had some semblance of a code of honor like a pirate... in his own strange way. That's why Dan's plight moved him, he killed the guy who burned down Dan's barn, and he saw that his men were indeed monsters worse than even him, and shot them dead.
However, he was only going to honor the deal he made to Dan just enough, so that the Pinkertons thought Dan came through and paid out the money owed... and then he would make his escape to rob and loot again.
Very underrated film, IMHO. Really captures the gritty ideology at how cruel things can be in life. I can also suggest a few things to consider reacting to, although I entirely understand these requests are probably a dime a dozen for any channel watching movies. For that reason, I'm going to bring up obscure titles that don't get enough attention.
Hide and Seek (2005) Only one person I'm aware of: ThatGuyWithTheMicrophone now known as Dyl and Jen REACTS covered this. Didn't get nearly enough attention it deserved. Very suspenseful while making full sense by the end, aka not hard to follow. Cast: Robert De Niro, Dakota Fanning, Dylan Baker, Famke Janssen, Elisabeth Shue, Amy Irving and Melissa Leo.
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2011) Easily the most emotionally upsetting film I've seen in decades. I can't even bring myself to watch again. A must see. Out of everything that doesn't have a reaction here on RUclips, I couldn't be any more upset about not being covered. Cast: Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, Viola Davis, Thomas Horn, Max von Sydow, John Goodman and Jeffrey Wright. Same director as Billy Elliot, The Hours and The Reader.
Identity (2003) Another sleeper hit that I'm not aware of anyone watching. Keeps you guessing while subverting initial expectations about its seemingly basic premise. Also makes rational sense by the ending. Cast: John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet, Pruitt Taylor Vince, John C. McGinley, John Hawkes, Clea DuVall and Jake Busey.
Captain Phillips (2013) Also based off a true story, immensely complex in nature as well. Very emotional and tense. Cast: Tom Hanks, Catherine Keener, Corey Johnson and Barkhad Abdi. Same director as The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, Green Zone, Bloody Sunday and United 93?
The Revenant (2015) Leo finally won his coveted gold statue for this, after five previous nominations. Insanely violent, realistically brutal. Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, Domhnall Gleason and Will Poulter. Same director as Babel and Birdman or the Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance.
Public Enemies (2009) Biopic of John Dillinger. Very well paced, well acted, awesome action sequences. Cast: Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Marion Cotillard, Stephen Dorff and Stephen Lang. Same director as Heat, Collateral, Miami Vice, The Insider and Blackhat.
These are probably long shots, although they're worth mentioning even as creating awareness for their existence. I don't envy your task with constantly having to evaluate what to focus on at any given point. As a gaming commentator here, even only at triple digit subs, I get requests a lot of the time. Anyone else reading this comment, feel free to chime in.
Yuma is in Arizona, there was a prison there that was one of the worst prison in the country at the time. The prison is shutdown now, and now it's a tourist attraction. That's supposed to extremely haunted.
Out of nowhere! Didn't expect this reaction. Hope you watch some movies you want to watch.
CASSIE confused 3:10 TO YUMA with *THE QUICK AND THE DEAD* , that's the western starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe. 😂
This is probably the best Western since Unforgiven and Tombstone! Such a good cast and story.
33:35 -- RE: "He's not even going to say anything?"; He probably shouldn't. Wade seems to have chosen to go on a redemption arc, something you said you wanted at the beginning of the film or at least thought seemed possible. He's already done all he could to save Dan except order Charlie to not shoot him. He immediately kills his whole gang, because they deserve it, and because he cannot be free of them, either. As he says earlier, how could a good person ever be in control of people like them? Excellent ending, IMO.
May I recommend "Jeremiah Johnson" (Robert Redford), "Quigley Down Under" (Tom Selleck), or "Silverado" (Kevin Costner) as your next Western reaction?
I've requested Quigley for quite some time now, all I can say is " Good Luck " I will say that I love ALL your suggestions!
Quigley Down Under--big yes. Jeremiah Johnson--no.
Pinkertons were the private security force of the railroads when the Trans-Continental Railroad was being built. They acted with impunity to gain land rights for the railroads. Beatings, arson, and murder were their stock and trade. The James boys (Jesse and Frank) along with their cousins the Youngers started robbing trains after Pinkertons burned down a house with a boy who had obvious mental challenges in it. The Pinkertons were so popular in certain parts of the country that people willingly hid the James and Youngers. Frank James lived out his life in Kentucky after a Kentucky court acquitted him of all wrongdoing. My great-great grandfather rode in a parade with Frank James.
“It’s not good to wish death on someone.” No you personally said “I will kill you!”😂 The actor that plays Charlie also played Axelson in Lone Survivor which you saw as well as the kid with a face full of piercings in The Punisher. Quite the acting range.
Check out High Noon, High Plains Drifter, True Grit (both versions)
Pale Rider would be a good one to review.
That and High Plains Drifter are so overlooked compared to the dollar films. High Plains Drifter is my favorite after Unforgiven of Eastwood westerns.
One of my favorite movies ever, was pleasantly surprised to see someone reacting to it
Another underrated movie I hope you can react to is the movie The Missing with Tommy Lee Jones
OH! I’m excited for this. This is my second favorite modern Western. My favorite is also a remake - True Grit. It is an absolute must watch with Matt Damon, Jeff Bridges, and Hailee Steinfeld, all of whom were nominated for Oscars for it. (It got a million nominations. It is one of the Coen Brothers’ best films.)
My favorite Western of all time, and another one that is “a Western for people who don’t like Westerns” is *The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance* . It is nearly impossible not to love that film. Happy watching!
True grit is a banger. I lose it at the ending every time
Elvis Presley was going to get the Glenn Campbell role for a while, but the Colonel killed the deal because he wanted top billing for Elvis. Can you imagine how that would have turned out with Elvis and John Wayne on screen together?
James Stewart is so passionate just arguing for doing the right thing in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. It's a very moving performance.
Carly needs to join Cassie for True Grit.
I like John Wayne's Rooster better, but Haille Steinfeld makes the movie. Eons better than Kim Darby. I didn't care for Damon's odd voice. Sounded contrived and overdone. Sooo lol I'll take Wayne, Steinfeld, and Damon with a normal voice and you have yourself a top 5 western of all time
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is great.
Another great Christian Bale western is “Hostiles”
Very dark but still worth the watch
🤠 I always recommend the western *_Silverado_* (1985). A fun western with a very young _Kevin Costner, Scott Glenn, Danny Glover, John Cleese, Jeff Goldblum, Kevin Kline_ and more. Written and directed by *_Lawrence Kasdan.¹_*
Another Western worth watching IMO is *The Quick and the Dead* (1995) starring _Leonardo DiCaprio, Sharon Stone_ and _Gene Hackman._
While not western related, I also recommend *The Mexican* (2001), starring *Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts* and *James Gandolfini.*
My other usual recommendations being *_The Philadelphia Story._* It stars *Jimmy Stewart* along with *Cary Grant* and *Katharine Hepburn* in a brilliant rom-com from 1940.
*Spy Game* (2001) with *Brad Pitt* and *Robert Redford.*
*_The Fisher King_* (1991) Directed by _Terry Gilliam,_ with _Robin Williams_ & _Jeff Bridges._
*_Inside Man_* (2006) _Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster_ and _Clive Owen._
*_The Abyss_* (1989) Dir by _James Cameron._ With _Ed Harris, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio_ and _Michael Biehn_ (Reese from Terminator & Hicks from Aliens *EDIT:* And Johnny Ringo from Tombstone).
Be well! 🙋🏼♂️

You should watch the original. It's a real classic and much better film. 1957 stars Glenn Ford and Van Heflin.
Great reaction and great cut of the movie. I think that you left all the best parts and dialogue in the reaction. For me, this is one of the best westerns along with unforgiven. The outlaw josey wales was also a great clint eastwood western.
Pinkerton is a private security guard and detective agency established around 1850 in the United States by Scottish-born American cooper Allan Pinkerton and Chicago attorney Edward Rucker (copy pasted for Ease lol)
If you want another great Christian Bale “cowboy” movie then you should definitely watch Hostiles. That film was so good from the opening right until the credits rolled. The opening itself is… mindblowing
I love Hostiles, but man is it depressing. Cassie would hate it.
@@alswearengen6427 it’s depressing but at the same time it’s got a weirdly hopeful feeling to it too
So close to an F bomb 😂 we'll see it someday, haha. "I'll kill you!" 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Ahh, you psyched me out girl… I thought you were doing the original version with Glenn Ford and Van Heflin 😂
Yuma, Bisbee and Tombstone are located southern Arizona
"there's a part of my brain missing, that knows how to read analog clocks." Oh my - I almost choked as that was pure Cassie! 🙂
In the original 3:10 to Yuma, made in 1957, Christian Bale's character, portrayed by Van Heflin, did not die.
A good modern Western that I think you would enjoy is called The quick and the dead. It has a cast full of stars including young Leonado Dicaprio
You should really watch Hostiles. Also a western with Christian Bale and Ben Foster (Charlie Prince). It’s one of my favorite westerns.
Thanks Cassie for watching this movie, your reaction was predictably great. Awesome performances from a stellar cast. I love it when modern westerns live up to or exceed the past versions. Please consider the modern version of “True Grit”. It’s also superb.
Christian Bales makes a good cowboy. I recommend his western “Hostiles”.
Also, I recommend the Tom Selleck western “Quigley Down Under”.
One of my favorite modern remakes...thanks for the reaction.
If you haven't yet, try "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", a John Wayne classic...
A B/W film, more story driven than by the on screen action, but a great western regardless...
When i saw this film for the first time, i was really invested in Christian Bale's Dan character and hope he succeeds, when Dan got shot, i had the same reaction like Cassie here but Cassie's reaction is more emotional than me haha, shows how good this movie really is. Love this film!
Back then skinny women weren't considered desirable. They were thought to be susceptible to illness and also not likely to make it through pregnancy. This sentiment lasted all the way up through the 1950s. That's why pictures you see of most women back then they were fairly full figured.
Also, another great Christian Bale western is Hostiles. Very impactful story.
Love this flick. So glad you reacted to it, even though it took second place.
P.S. Cassie… the barmaid you recognized early in the film was the teenage girl from Hocus Pocus.
This is a great movie,and yes you do love westerns
I've never heard you threaten to kill anyone before lol. That was kinda cute, adorable, and badass all at the same time. Luv you mutch, keep doing what you do.
I know cassie hates him which makes sense for her. But I always felt bad for Charlie prince killed by a man he was nothing but loyalty too.
Yeah, that's not exactly the best takeaway from that scene.
