Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
I saw this in a packed movie house and when Joan yells "Don't f--- with me, fellas!" the whole audience roared with laughter. It was the release everyone needed.
Forget the wire hangers. "Don't f*** with me, fellas" is the best line of the film. LOL.

My favorite lines 😂😂😂
Joan Crawford is considered one of the greatest movie stars of the golden age of hollywood! Her personal life was a wild ride it seems, but I will always love her work as a actress. Faye Dunaway did a fantastic job in this part.
She made some dreadful movies twds her decline...Strait-Jacket for one. She was on stage in every sense of the word, must have been exhausting for her.
@@glenn20081965 I actually like Strait-Jacket but I can see why people wouldn't. The mid 40s to early 50s was her peak of starring in good films.
The public reaction was this was camp and it was viewed as a comedy as it was so over the top and poorly acted. It is hysterical to watch.
@@glenn20081965 Many of the older actresses did the so-called "Horror Hag" movies. Bette Davis in The Nanny and Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte, Shelley Winters in Who Slew Aunyie Roo?, Winters and Debbie Reynolds in What's the Matter With Helen? and Tallulah Bankhead in Die! Die! My Darling. I kind of like them all, though some are better than others.
@@bengilbert7655 That's not the issue here. Hush Sweet Charlotte, The Nanny, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane and so forth were good movies with good scripts and writing. Joan was not that smart in choosing roles in later life, it was almost like a desperate attempt to remain relevant. Other actresses had a second career in later life.
"You know where to find the boys and the booze" - One of the best lines in film history!
I LOVE it!!!!
We have family friends who have adopted. They were honest about their son being adopted when their child was about five or so. They felt it was best to be honest rather than run into an issue down the road and possible face resentment. Their son was fine with it. He's around 11 or 12 now. He knows he's loved and that's enough for him. :)
You should watch the miniseries Feud: Bette and Joan, starring Susan Sarandon as Bette Davis and Jessica Lange as Joan Crawford. It’s fabulous. Talk about 2 narcissistic personalities!!
Well done. Perfect choice of actors. 🖤
Davis hated Miriam Hopkins long before she met Crawford, called her a scene stealer, she'd go to the back of the stage forcing Bette to turn her back on the audience or camera, "Her scene-stealing clearly a compulsion."
Being an actress during that period in Hollywood was beyond difficult the older you got. I can't remember who said it, a producer or director or somebody of high power, said "I would wouldn't pay a dime for those two washed up women" or something close to it. Then Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? came out and was a sleeper hit.
VERY good suggestion
I agree! But you must watch Whatever Happened to Baby Jane first since a good part of Feud is about that.
This movie is based on the book by Christina Crawford.
To answer your question about adoption. I was adopted and so was my sister. We knew from the time we were toddlers. It was normal, no big deal. I imagine that if that fact had been kept secret it might have been a traumatic experience if we discovered it later in life.
Thank you for sharing
As an Adoptee, born a fratenal Twin, separated from my Twin Brother through adoption, as well as all my other family & siblings, with a closed/sealed adoption, an altered identity, amended birth certificate, & both me & my Twin adopted separately into very abusive homes, (my adoptive Mother was a lot like Joan Crawford in this movie except not a movie star), & still fighting for our rights, & still looking for our birth father & his family at 53 years old, I think its morally wrong to keep it a secret, to lie, to hide from a child their origin.
What if you were to suddenly find out tomorrow that the family you thought was your family, was not your birth family of origin? No matter how much "love" was in the adopted family you knew as your family, you'd suddenly question that so called love, if they felt a need to hide things from you. Adoptees whether they are told about their origin or not, will often sense that there is something fundementally different or off about themselves compared to their adopted family. And they will question their "belonging" & their identity, especially if they find out late in life. They will not have anyone around them, (unless a biological sibling is adopted with them), that mirrors them in DNA. And even then it won't be a source of that DNA.
Finding our birth mother was a long awaited answered prayer, even though it turned out to be a very difficult situation. One thing that I cannot stress enough, was the delight & relief in seeing someone with my hands. I can not describe the relief to finally have that genetic mirroring from someone who was a source of it. We knew her for a year & a month, before she passed away. We tried to get her hospital records, but because we were "Adopted out of the family", someone who is still technically in the family has to get them. Utterly maddening.
Soon we will apply to get our names changed to their original names. We've already applied & been accepted into our Mother's & Maternal Grandfather's Native American tribe. We got DNA tests, but don't really know how to utilize the results in our search for our Father..
One thing I want to add - is that Adoptees are frequently denied an inheritance in either family. Which leaves them in a limbo nowhere state of consciousness. Not really belonging anywhere.
@@ScenecrlyK.S.O. - Thank you for asking - and being open to being educated on the subject.
That’s your story, not the story of the hundreds of millions of other adopted humans
@@judethaddeus9856 + Is your comment directed at the original commenter at the top of this thread?
in recent years they have speculated she had a mental illness. This is based on her daughters book. Also a kid I went to school with was adopted and her parents didn't tell her, she was about 7 when kids at school told her. She went through a very difficult period for a long time.
She reads like someone with BPD
I have seen this a hundred times and it is priceless seeing you react to it!
Guilty laughs in some of these scenes. Sometimes it dances right on the line of tragedy and comedy.
It’s absolutely beautiful the comparison between how Tina represented in her mothers stead when she was ill and how her mother represented her ViceVersa.
Thank you for this.. One of my favorite movies..definitely on my top 10....."NO WIRE HANGERS...EVERRRR!!! Best line ever.
I am adopted and my parents told me at a young age
I'm glad they did, I don't like being lied to, or deceived or having important information withheld for me
and when I think about all the times a doctor has asked me for my family medical history I am glad I was able to tell them I don't have that information, rather than telling them irrelevant information about a family I have no genetic link to
This movie is based the book Christina wrote called Mommy Dearest - it is a true story. This movie has becoe a Cult Classic in Art Houses people go dressed as Joan and Christina and participate in the movie lines because it is SO over the top LOL.
The movie add scenes that wasnt in the book
@@JamesJones-zq7pc Tons of them - showering with Greg - Pepsi board meeting - Vera walking in on Christina and whats-his-name making out in the hayloft.....🤣
I remember watching this in the 80s as I was growing up experiencing some, not all, of this type of treatment from my mother. We had all seen the movie as a family (apart from my Dad, as they divorced when I was 3) so everyone was familiar with the movie and it was weird watching it and having to not say anything when parts really hit home. One day I made the mistake of responding to my mother's request as , "Yes, Mommy Dearest..." Eh, let's just say that did NOT go over well with her. Incredible movie, it was hard to watch even now, some 30 years later.
I watched this movie over and over as a little girl and she terrified me every time. Those wild, raging eyes.😱
Me too because it was exactly like my mom
Joan's upbringing was horrible. She was a very unhappy person. However, she was a great actress. The movie "Mildred Pierce" is one of my favorite movies.
If you're planning to watch the Feud series (which you definitely should), watch 'Whatever Happened to Baby Jane' beforehand. I had a chance to attend a Q&A with Christina Crawford. She's made another movie about her life with Joan. It was quite interesting. The little girl who played Christina went to my ballet school. I remember being so freaked out by this movie as a kid. Your reaction is very insightful.
I knew I was adopted from the time I could speak. My mom would tell me a story about how she and my dad went to the hospital and picked me out of all the other babies. Eventually I learned what adoption was and it wasn’t shocking by that time my mom was my mom, it definitely was good that my mom was the best.
And I’m Mexican and my parents were white and that didn’t matter.
Thank you❤
The Notebook and Steel Magnolias are good tear jerkers too. Great reaction
"Terms of Endearment" as well
The constraints on Christopher, according to Christina, were to keep him from getting out of bed at night, in other words, not to protect him, but to control and basically imprison him.
This film caused quite a stir when it premiered in the early 1980s and is very difficult to watch. I’ve always wondered how much of it was true. Your reactions to it were the best.
I was adopted at about 16 months old & my mother told me from the start. I didn't know what it meant until I watched a Popeye cartoon where children were in an orphanage. It clicked & I ran to my mother & said, " mom, I was an orphan". Never once did I not feel like part of the family within my family, my extended family was another story. So I'm glad she told me, otherwise I would have felt like an outcast for no good reason.
Mine are Asian. But I honestly forgot. But we discussed it all since they could talk-in a "cool "way...it was a GOOD thing!
My mother acted like this to me growing up. I haven spoken to her in 8 years
so sorry y ou went through that.
Saw this years ago- NEVER forgot the “no wire hangers!”-for sure! Great movie!💝✨
This movie takes place during what was known as the Golden Age of Hollywood. Movie stars were treated like royalty.
And they're not now? Lol
A responsible mother would rather not have their child than give them up knowing that a mother like this could adopt her
the ways thats you react and give opinions to the whole movie just flawless!! Keep up with the good works sis!!!
Love your review and comments on one of the best camp classic films of all time!
It is best to tell the child, there can be a sense of betrayal and trauma for some people if they are not told until they are older. You don’t want to make it the “focal point” of their childhood and you want to educate them about how families come in all shapes and sizes.
I was touched by your sensitivity and insight regarding the movie.
Loved you did this one!
The daughter IS in an Episode of Law & Order Criminal Intent called Esophoro.
I love the opening sequence of this film (the best thing about it), and Dunawaye turns in a ferocious performance. Too bad they didn't get the eyebrows right!
The ice facial she gives herself at the beginning was a well-known beauty treatment. You poured witch hazel over ice cubes and then doused your face with it. It was supposed to remove puffiness, but witch hazel is very drying to the skin, so I don't imagine it was good for you if you passed a certain age. It would have ended up making you look older. But, then again, they smoke and drank to excess in those days, hardly a good beauty regimen, so I suppose it was another thing that passed them by.
The truth is always best because it always comes to the light.
Therapists recommended you openly communicate about adoption with your child as early as possible, in a way the child is able to understand. That way it isnt sprung on them later down the road, and they dont feel lied to. The earlier you talk about it, the less they feel the sense of shock and betrayal.
She told christina about her adoption but she also told her that her mom was dead which was a lie her dad was living near her and she never knew
If you are planning to go on a cinematic journey of Joan Crawford, for a modern audience the logical next step would be "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane", co-starring Joan's arch nemesis Bette Davies. Flmed in 1962 when Joan was still head of Pepsi Corp. The backstage hijinx of "Jane" are almost as famous as the movie itself, with Joan upstaging best actress nominee (for Baby Jane) Bette Davis at the Oscars the next year. The filmmakers play on their rivalry for good effect. It was a solid hit, and is great and ghoulish fun!
This movie was nominated for 9 Golden Raspberry Awards in 1981. The accolades include being named worst picture of the year, worst actress for Faye Dunaway, worst supporting actor for Steve Forrest, worst supporting actress for Diana Scarwid, and worst screenplay. So camp and so fun to watch.
Just wow I can't even to put up with all of that and still love my mother and be there for her with a smile to not get nothing ooh na we gotta dig you up and get questions answered
I try to remembered if the book say Joan Crawford lose her temper find out the wire hangers because when Joan was a little girl, her mother had to work at a dry cleaner's, so that’s might lost her mind. I watched it many time. actresses did it very well.
Now Joan had adopted three other children besides Christina and Christopher. One of the kids was reclaimed by their birth mother. She adopted twin girls who flat out deny that Joan was abusive towards them.
I was adopted as a baby and they told me I was adopted when I was a toddler, so it was no big deal. I am loved and that's all that matters.
❤
Little Christina was played by Mara Hobel.....this was a great movie and a great reaction too.....love your channel
I love your flower and glasses so pretty. I had the same reaction about her closet when I was little.
I believe the straps were to prevent Christopher from sleepwalking and hurting himself.
I don't know for sure but I imagine the truth is always best.
Would love to see you react to “Terms of Endearment” great movie! With wide range of emotions. Funny, sad. You’ll love it
YESSSS!!!
Now that you mention it, I have this idea of Faye Dunaway and Diana Scarwid in a remake of Terms of Endearment😄 When Garrett Breedlove moves in next door, it's a Chinatown reunion. My sister-my mother-my sister-my mother-my.....
This is based off of Christina’s book, but as you can see the twins weren’t included in the film. Joan had twin daughters younger than Christina, and they had a very different relationship with Joan. Watch Feud, it sheds some light on there relationship.
Youre sweet!!! Love your analysis of this movie.
You really learn about the real Joan Crawford. Christina denounced this movie. She said the movie wasn’t what she wanted or even close to book. Christina is still alive. Mother daughter matching outfits were common. The wire hangers part was only page in the book out of 250+ pages.
Your mom is right.
As usual, she has the last word.
Does she?
Does she?
The daughter is like HELL NOOOOOOOOOOOOO- Ima write a book!!!!!!!!!!!!
She and Christopher also sued Joan's estate while the book was being written and released. They subsequently won $55,000 each.
@@systemshocker2875 but that's so little to what she had
8:30 It depends on the situation/ timing, but sooner is usually better IMO 💁🏾♂️⏱
10:28 Very observant! Joan (at least from the POV of this film) seems narcissistic & poor Christina catches hell 😅😭
31:34 She is INSANELY funny in this movie 😂 So many memorable one-liners!
React to Mildred Pierce with Joan Crawford.
I was a foster child, if i had of been adopted i would've wanted to know.
Wildflower with reese witherspoon. An abused and partially deaf girl is helped back into society by two resourceful children 1991
30:35 - Was she lying about the money? YEPPERS!
Can you believe that there are people who laugh at this movie? This movie terrifies me!
I think laughing is how some people deal with it.
People aren't laughing at the subject matter but certain aspects of the movie itself.
Regarding the adoption question just watch the 1979 movie "The Jerk" starring Steve Martin as a not-too-bright guy trying to make his way in the world. It starts out with him narrating, "I was born a poor black child," because he was adopted by a black family and never told he was adopted. It's played for laughs, you'll like it.
Now that's a classic!
" I wouldn't even give you a job , because of your eyes "
Love it 😅
I feel like I would want to know because it shows transparency, and your child would never feel like you hid things or lied to them about anything. Also to know that I was specifically chosen by you when you could've chosen to birth your own kids, would make me feel special and maybe help us to have a bigger bond because of that. Most adopted kids that I know who's parents hid the fact that they were adopted from were upset when they found out because they felt like if you hid this from me, how many more things are you hiding or lying to me about? So yea it's definitely a trust barrier there amongst adopted kids. So you definitely want to be as upfront as possible with them because you don't want to grow up having trust issues because of you.
My mom had untreated BPD. This movie scared me when I was little because it was too much like my waking nightmare in real life. The outburst where she tries to kill Tina is almost decidedly a sign of BPD. Also, spending/over spending/financial risk taking... Also BPD
Bipolar or borderline?
Have to watch "what happens to baby jane"
This movie has been parodied and hailed so much as a camp classic over the years, that it's great seeing you as a first-timer taking it totally seriously with a sincere emotional reaction. You are right about it being over the top and over-dramatic - the film is exploitative and difficult to watch if taken seriously. Dunaway's performance is overblown and almost comic in some of its "serious" moments, which also may be faulted to bad direction. It is definitely memorable, though and the movie is a guilty pleasure for many.
I think this is a lot more about Dunaway than it is Crawford. I rarely watch reality TV shows but there was one called "Starlet" with Dunaway as a judge (Vivica Fox was another) and they judged 10 aspiring actresses in different acting scenes. Dunaway was harsh, very much like her caricature here.
Although the movie or film was a parody, but by looking at Joan Crawford interviews in the 1950's and 1960's, she was indeed over the top individual. So lets not get it twisted, I think Faye Dunaway did a good job immitating aspects of her persona. You can watch her interviews all through youtube, and Dunaways immitated her perfectly.
It doesn't seem that over-the-top if you've experienced something like it. The comments on a video from the Take are filled with people sharing their trauma and how real this was and that the video didn't take it seriously.
In the wire hanger scene, Christina mentioned her mother would go on these "night rages" And the Christmas scene, it seemed so scripted, so much that if either of the kids faltered...who knew if she go completely bonkers..
you should watch Valley of the Dolls (the original from the 60s)!
Big time famous back in the day. supposedly born in 1904 but she declared 1908. liar liar pants on fire.
My mom showed me this movie as a kid to let me know I was lucky she wasnt like Joan Crawford
This is a fantastic movie yet also hurt so badly for her children she adopted. Some people want children to either fit in, see other women with children etc yet are not made to be mother's, which she clearly was not.
Fun Fact: Joan Crawford adopted twin girls after Christina & Christopher moved out the house. The twins dismiss & disregard the abuse claims that Christina & Christopher experience because they didn't experience it while living with Joan. Mind you Joan was in her late 50s - early 60s when raising the twins. However some of Joan's co-stars & associates were aware the abuse but stayed silent
Back then, abuse was considered "a family matter." 🙄
@@cfinley81 yep until someone left or someone mysteriously died
Christina Crawford herself was dissatisfied with what they did adapting her book (which is told from the perspective of the child, a daughter) as it was more about Joan's struggles and became Joan's story. Dunaway (who claims to regret doing the film, though it is one of her most legendary performances) had wanted to portray the relationship from both sides. Christina said in interviews that the only true real thing about the film was the makeup and clothes, all incidents are heightened for dramatic effect. Joan Crawford grew up poor, abused (physically and sexually) and neglected and had to fend for herself to get out, so when she reached stardom, she could never shake the insecurities and fear of it all disappearing, so that had a lot to do with her fierce determination, work ethic, competitiveness, and rigid expectations. Joan likely thought she was doing her children good with tough love than raise them with entitlement. Joan was about herself when it came to her wealth and stardom, but in many ways, who could blame her for being a fighting spirit. As a saying I heard before goes from a parent to a child...My job is to make sure you get to into heaven, not into Harvard, that's your job. LOL
Sad you didn't know who Joan Crawford was, or get the reaction when Fay Dunaway turned around in the chair to see the amazing transformation...Love how you got so into this... Hard movie to watch... Good job, :)
I would like to see you watch Richard Pryor's Jo Jo dancer your life is calling movie.
New subscriber! I adore you!!
One day ten-year-old Jimmy's mom and dad sat little Jimmy at the dinner table.
"Son," started the mother "As you know, we are a pro-life family. As such we have taught you the importance of adoption. Well, you're adopted."
Showing maturity beyond his years, little Jimmy took the news very well.
"I kinda suspected. The way raised me to be accepting of adoption and I never had siblings-"
"No, you don't understand." Interrupted little Jimmy's father. "You're being adopted RIGHT NOW. Go pack your things, they're picking you up in a hour."
Hi, another great reaction. I was adopted and was told from a very early age. I’m glad I was adopted because. I believe things happen for a reason, if I hadn’t been adopted I wouldn’t have my amazing friends and I wouldn’t have found my soul mate.I recently found my birth mother and we have a great relationship.xx
That is awesome! THANK YOU FOR SHARING
Psychologically, children should always be told they are adopted as they are growing up. Keeping it secret makes it painful because it can be seen as "bad".
I was adopted by my birth mothers brother at 6th months.Every time we went to visit those relatives, they constantly reminded me and it was traumatic for me. My adopted extended family never mentioned it. BTW Joan Crawford was a very famous actress from the 40s. This was a true story.
You should always let an adopted child know they're adopted. What age you should tell them is unique to the child but being adopted is not the kind of secret you keep. If they find out on their own and you didn't tell them, that would be extremely traumatic.
This movie is based on the life of a famous actor called Joan Crawford. The actor who plays Joan ( Faye Dunaway ) portrayed her and looks just like her.
Brilliant film 🎥
"Why is the woman so dramatic with her face?" 🤣
You nailed it perfectly. "Everything in Joan's life is like a stage play. Something for the screen." Love when you said that cause it's true. Imagine how exhausting that would be. For her and those poor kids. Every move so forced and sometimes phony. Like that Christmas interview. Ugh. But this was a great reaction video.
Reminds me of the Bright Lights documentary featuring Debbie Reynolds and her children. Debbie being an old school Hollywood actress always seemed to be on and ready. It had been conditioned into her.
Ms. Davis calls Faye Dunaway the most unprofessional person she has ever worked with. Faye Dunaway portrays Joan Crawford, who was Davis nemesis, back in the day. The two women could not get along. Ms. Davis most famous quote about Joan "I wouldn't pee on her if she was on fire!"😂
I actually learnt why you shouldn't use wire hangers. they rust and because the rust they can stain your clothes also they lack friction so they can tangel and warp your clothes over time and those look expensive. Im not condoning how she acted
Greetings from Massachusetts! Towards the beginning of the video you asked whether adopted children would prefer knowing about their adoption from a young age or not. In my experience, my parents told me from the moment I could understand the concept of family that even though my mom did not physically give birth to me, that I was no less a part of them and our family. I have always been grateful for their gentle honesty when it came to this because I’ve always felt that if they had hidden the truth from me until later that I would be resentful of their secrecy.
I know my situation is not the same as every other adopted person’s but I have spoken to many other adoptees, some with experiences similar to mine and others whose parents kept the truth from them until later, and the majority I’ve interacted with have the same perspective as I do; honesty is the best policy.
Thank you for making such enjoyable content and for your insight. Keep on keepin’ on, sis. ✌️💚
This movie is so bad that its good. So over the top, I love it. And so many great lines. Dont fuck with me fellas. Tinaaaa bring me the axe. Barbara please! so good 😂
I think youd love the miniseries Feud, its really good.
With all that screaming, I'm surprised Crawford didn't die of throat cancer😆
The further you go back in time, a lot of mad parents. Most of them would be in jail today.
It is best to be honest..xx
Faye Dunaway actually hates this role and doesn't want to talk about it. She was actually friends with Joan Crawford and viewed her as a bit of a mentor so she felt a bit guilty about portraying her like this. She also thought she was going to get an Oscar for this performance but the critics crushed it for being too over the top. Still became a cult classic anyway
I never used a wire hanger again.....
I guess I never saw a lot of the camp during the abuse scenes because I’ve been in these things for real a few times and it’s terrifying. Someone tearing apart your house and your home shrieking like a banshee and hurling every object she can at you. I never saw Faye Dunaway as going anywhere “unrealistic” during the freak out scenes. It’s a lot of her other dialogue that comes off as campy to me.
Joan Crawford’s dad abandoned her, she grew up in poverty, and slept with her stepfather at 11. This is how she was shaped as a beautiful adolescent going into Hollywood. She actually had four kids but not shown in this film just Christina and Christopher. Faye Dunaway won an Oscar for the film Network and beat out Sissy Spacek in Carrie. Her other top roles are Chinatown, Bonnie and Clyde, and Three Days of the Condor. The Joan Crawford Oscar winning film Mildred Pierce is excellent and was remade as a HBO series which won awards too for Kate Winslett. Sadly this was before kids could call to report child abuse or talk to teachers. The drink scene where Christina makes alcohol is like Auntie Mame with Rosiland Russell which I HIGHLY recommend a REACT which is based on a true story. The line: Does she have the last word? No since she wrote a tell all book and a film came out which made millions for Christina. Plus she was close to Christopher.
The younger two say they had a great experience with Crawford as a mother.
This movie is so crazy 😧 I've actually seen it more than once
21:04 This scene actually had music before its dvd release. Heres the scene as it was originally shown
