Outlaw Josey Wales
You've always got My Vote of Support👍
Yes to more Eastwood! "Heartbreak Ridge"
Clint Eastwood has been in over 80 movies. Don't ask questions, just watch them all.
Absolutely more Eastwood!
Hey Jen, my name is Geoff Miclat and I've been Clint's casting director for the past 12 years and I've worked in his casting department for just over 20. This was one of my earliest films I worked on and I hope you enjoyed it. It was a difficult, but extremely gratifying film to cast. We asked Clint if he wanted to cast the Hmong roles with Hmong people and he said yes. In 2008, this was a monumental task. There were virtually no Hmong actors around. All the Hmong actors in the film (with the exception of "Spider") were people we found. We traveled to the largest Hmong population centers in the US and we scoured local Hmong markets and festivals as well as putting ads in Hmong newspapers and radio stations. It was a stressful time, but such a wonderful experience. I love watching people react to this film. It brings back so many happy memories. Best, Geoff
👏Welcome!
The girl who played Sue did a great job. I am surprised she didn't do a lot more movies.
@@warpig4942Sue was my favorite character in the movie.
This is an awesome movie.
@user-er8nq7wv7v 🤡
Fun fact, the white boy at the street corner where Sue was almost accosted, was Clint's son.
quite possibly the most lively and enduring scene from the entire movie, I think! Jen, for your next Clint Eastwood adventure, please try Pale Rider, just trust me that it's amazing, his second greatest after Unforgiven, and it was the highest grossing western of the entire '80s
*is. Scott Eastwood is still Clint's son.
You must be fun at parties. @@MrHartApart
I am, I am fun at parties.@@schadlarry
Yeah he looks like his dad
Not only was clint Eastwood singing the song at the end, he was playing the piano too.
I agree, don't force your emotions (as some other channels absolutely do). You be you and we're all here for exactly that. And, yes, Walt had a good death. No lingering in a hospital in pain with his family hanging around like vultures, being of service to people he cared about, and all without having to kill anyone.
The rifle Walt is using is an M1 Garand, it was standard issue in WW2 and Korea
I have my grandfathers M1 Garand that he carried in Korea. 80 years old and looks like it was blued yesterday.
@@earlbrown I should’ve never gotten rid of my ‘46 production Springfield M1. They’re such nice rifles
This movie was a rollercoaster of emotions. Clint did a phenomenal job not just with the acting but directing as well, and seeing Thao get the car in the end and drive off with daisy was the perfect ending.
Quote: " and seeing Thao get the car in the end and drive off with daisy was the perfect ending."
Why was that a perfect ending. I mean what made it "perfect" - is what I'm trying to get at ;)
yeah it's awesome
Great reaction Jen. The reason Walt didn’t bring a gun is because the thugs could have killed him and plead “self defense”; then they don’t go to jail. Walt knew his limitations. He’s an old man not a young action star who’s going to attack the gang and kill them all. He carefully thought of a plan that would accomplish all his goals.
Other Clint films to watch,, Kelly’s Heroes , and , Heartbreak Ridge.
Thanks
Well said. the neighborhood was living in fear. Nobody would talk. But everybody knew Walt and what he had done. And he set it up to where everybody and their grandmother literally saw what happened when they gunned an unarmed man, a war vet in cold blood on their front lawn. That's not gonna sit pretty with a jury, a judge and those reading the paper or seeing the news. The neighbors couldn't hide/turn away anymore the one person who stood up for them was killed in front of them. Only fair they spoke up on his behalf.
@@theeLonelyRedPanda He wasn't even on their lawn: he was standing on a public sidewalk, so they couldn't say he was trespassing.
The scene where he gives the dog away gets me every time
Lol the "Whiteboy" with her is Clint Eastwoods real son, Scott. Absolutely love this movie.
Jen i dont expect you to cry. Dont ever apologize. Just be you. These Canadian women are killing it. ❤ live long and prosper
The white kid trying to "fit in" with the black kids early in the movie is also one of Clint's sons.
yeah it was Scott
I love when he tells Tao "I'm proud to call you my friend".
I also enjoy imagining the disappointment of his granddaughter not inheriting the car
Another great reaction to a great movie
One of the saddest movies ever made.
Walt sacrificed everything to make sure that Thau would grow up and have a normal life, as well as toughen up for an ever changing world.
I have a lot of affection for this movie. It really struck a chord with me the way he bonded with Tao and the Hmong community .
The character arc for Walt is something else. Love Walt’s “true confession “ thru the metal screen in the basement.
Emotions hit in different ways and at different times. Sometimes they're immediate and sometimes they're delayed. Anyone with genuine feelings should understand this.
🤗
This is one of my favorite Clint movies, he knew he was dying and took out the whole gang from his friends lives. Great reaction Jen, your emotions were present even without any tears. Loved your comments.
Well, I wasn't going to watch any of these bloody reactions on a Friday night, especially after Puxatony Phil failed to see his shadow, forecasting an early Spring. But, then you chose to do Gran Torino and Clint Eastwood. That is a must see every time someone chooses to watch this movie. Thank you.
Walt cried for Sue. He didn’t even cry at his wife’s funeral.
@@torchlight3173 crying at ur wife’s funeral is one of very few acceptable reasons for men to cry in public. Immediate family members death, dogs death, and your team winning the championship. So you’re wrong and most likely not a man or possibly Canadian
Quit judging, he can grieve as he wishes.
It's probably because his wife lived a full life without being subjected to horrors like He and Sue did. Her death was the end of a life well lived.
What does it have to do with candaians lol. Canda is far less toxic and shitty than murikkka. @@Gonzo94m
@@Gonzo94mMy grandfather didn't cry at my grandmother's funeral for the very reason stated above.
Clint Eastwood is such an amazing actor and this movie is just more proof of how great he is. Like you said, it's the smirk here and the growl at the perfect moment. His timing is perfect. I can't believe people give you a hard time for not being an excessive crier. I appreciate that about you because some reactors I've seen are just over the top emotional criers and just weep over the least little thing. Anyway, great job on this one and I can't wait for "Dirty Harry". I'm betting you enjoyed it and will want to watch the series.
You got a Masterclass in Oscar-winning 'Grampa wheezing' from Clint in this movie, Jen. 😃
Totally agree, no to a forced emotional response. To me, any genuine reaction is a good one.
There are a lot of great Clint Eastwood classics and I hope you react to more of them. Here is a very short list of some suggestions:
"Million Dollar Baby"
""Heartbreak Ridge"
"The Outlaw Josey Wales"
"High Plains Drifter"
18:17 Even the little girl calls him "Toad" 😂
LOLZ
Can’t put into words how beautiful the themes and messages in this movie are 🙏
100%
Another terrific reaction, Jen. Your emotions in your videos are so genuine, I can't understand anyone wanting more. I've seen some reactors I think of as "overreactors." Keep being yourself and I'll keep watching and enjoying. See ya Sunday!
Clint has done the music for a lot of his films. He’s a very accomplished jazz pianist. So is Jeff Goldblum actually. Funny how no one ever talks about Clint’s music. It’s understated usually, very very utilitarian in a lot of ways. Clint’s use of silence or the natural surroundings is really special. Others do it in films, but with him it feels like a very deliberate choice rather than the by product of no music playing. His films really are amazing. I didn’t appreciate his work until I got a little older. I guess you get a little older and you start to recognize some of the feelings underneath it all. He’s so freaking old also and still making movies, and brilliantly as well. I think he has an office on the Warner Brothers lot? Think I saw the back of him one day when we were recording a score for a film on the at the Warner brothers studio, which is named Eastwood Studio in fact. I look at todays talent and I wonder if there is anyone to at could step into the place Clint holds in the business when he leaves us, and I just can’t find the honesty, or the depth of heart or character in almost anyone’s work today. You see flashes, but rarely a command of those things. Alright, enough of me gushing over this guy. Walt would’ve called me a pussy and told me to go get him another beer by now. Haha
Another one of Clint's great movies is also a rollercoaster ride of emotions and that is "Million Dollar Baby"
Another great Clint Eastwood movie is Heartbreak Ridge. It's a military type movie.
9:52 love the conversation with ol’ glory waving in the back. Great shot!
1. Million Dollar Baby
2. In the Line of Fire
3. A Perfect World
A few of Eastwood movies I think you'll enjoy.
Another Clint Eastwood film similar to this one is, "The Mule".
Play Misty For Me
Tightrope
Thunderbolt And Lightfoot
Two Mules For Sister Sarah
Outlaw Josie Wales
The Beguiled
Love Play Misty for Me. One of my personal favorites and significant being an influence for Fatal Attraction as well as Eastwoods directorial debut
@@tomreichardt6044 similar to Gran Torino?
Torino, Vendetta? Some of my favourite movies from my favourite reactress! Great stuff Jen 💯
It's fine if you don't cry, Jen! You make it very obvious when you're touched. Keep it up! One of the films Eastwood directed, "Changeling" starring Angelina Jolie, would really impress you. It might not win any polls, because Eastwood isn't a star in it, but it's an unforgettable, mind-blowing story.
Eastwood also directed a film called Absolute Power. Great film that also stars Ed Harris, Laura Linney, Gene Hackman, Scott Glenn, & Dennis Haysbert. Its a thriller, and is definitely worth checking out.
Awesome reaction Miss Jen. Don't ever feel pressure to cry because the best reactions are natural ones.
Thunderbolt and Lightfoot is a must see.
Epic! I had to check some beehives today to make sure they're all doing fine this winter. One I get home my wife and I are going to sit down for dinner and watch this Jen reaction together.
This movie reminds me of my father after my mother passed away. He had his routine and his buddies and hangouts, and when my mother passed he had to adjust to several things in the modern world. It wasn't like he was frozen in time - he just had limited exposure to the modern world since my mother did the shopping and handled the bills. My mother would visit with the pastor of our church in her final year, and when she passed our pastor would stop by and visit with my father. The main difference is my father didn't carry the heavy psychological burden Walt carried. He liked visiting with the pastor.
Big fan of Jen's movie reactions from afar. I like how she brings emotional intelligence into the conversation. I may become a new member after this one. By the way Jen, if you are at all in love with Clint Eastwood as an actor and director, watch him in "Million Dollar Baby", the female version of "Rocky". Pure, simple, deep and true. 🥊💥❤🔥...you will love the man after that.
I've seen MANY, MANY Clint flicks. This is by far my favorite.
me too, have you seen The Mule?
No, probably one of the few I missed
@@patmurray9730 don't worry, you could watch it sometime soon. You'll definitely enjoy it.
Another modern day masterpiece! Clint Eastwood at his finest. Excellent choice Jen 😊...Eric
"Well it's Groundhog Day...Again!" (LOL)👋Hey Eric, Hope You're feeling better today and Hope You had Fun last night, with David & Toni.👍They do a Premiere-Reaction every Thursday night👌sometimes an extra one on Sunday or Monday too, but those vary...
@@tomhoffman4330 Thanks again for the channel advice 👍 watched Mr Hollands Opus. You might have to give me some heads up, I don't know if I'll get their posts?
@@e.d.2096 "No Worries, Mate!"🤠I'll work on it...👌
I was soo waiting for her to react to it
Hey Jen just want to say I love this movie I'm 50 now so Clint was my dad's guy and we watched Clint movies together I'm lucky my dad is still with us but this is totally his generation and this movie gets me every time. The first time I watched it I was stunned for hours and couldn't speak now i tear up every time I watch it. Most reactors don't quite get it but you nailed it. Thank you
*Edited as it put realtors not reactors lol*
He also directed Letters from Iwo Jima, Flags of Our Fathers, and American Sniper, to name just a few.
The Beguiled (1971) is a very interesting Clint Eastwood movie that even git a remake in 2017. It's a slow burn, and it not a mass market crowd pleaser that everybody feels the same way about. Hearing the different way different people feel about it makes it very interesting to me.
It's crazy how often family members eye up possessions. In the far distant future I hope my pride and joy goes somewhere special.
Clint was great in this, it feels authentic. Glad Jen got to see it with us, great reaction as always!!!
They don't want someone else to ask for it first. I think anyone who asks for something should receive nothing.
Love this movie.
Emotionally moving.
Walt definitely had some issues/rough edges but his actions showed he was a man with a good heart. Walts toughness and his garage full of tools reminds me so much of my grandfather. He and my dad taught me how to work on cars and fix/build things.
I miss him deeply, but he lived to 100.
Walts family really is horrible/selfish A-holes. I'm so happy Walt let the 72 Ford Grand Torino to Thao.
Walt is my "spirit animal" :D
Every time I see a reaction to this movie I appreciate it more, along with the different perspectives from the reacting people.
Thank you for the reaction!
34:59 I cried because you didn't cry. Everyway but Loose is a Clint Eastwood comedy I'm sure you'll like. And I don't expect you to cry, but laugh. Peace
Awesome reaction Jen! I really enjoy your non-verbal reactions. You mentioned his dog Daisy numerous times but did you notice that she's the only one in the movie who Walt loves from start to finish? They are true bffs.
Rest in Peace Carl Weathers
As I anxiously await "Rocky Balboa" coming to RUclips....
OMG, I literally just found out that He's gone...😭💔
I've been excited to see your reaction to this one since you announced it last week. I went into this not knowing a thing about it. Largely ignored it when it released. One of my friends put it on casually the one day while we were toking. It completely blind sided me.
Good movie, good story. Big ol' lump in my throat at the ending. You do cry in quite a few reactions I can recall, I don't know what people are on about. Thanks for being genuine, regardless of the complaints.
That's why we love you Jen, you're not fake and your reactions are genuine, Great movie, the scene when Sue walks into the house after being missing guts me every time.
Walt doesn't stop with the insults because that's how men communicate with each other.
Such a great movie. It makes you think and it makes you feel. Those new friendships were beautiful, weren't they? Thanks for sharing this one with us, Jen. 🙂 I enjoyed rewatching it with you!
I always thought Clint Eastwood's "In The Line of Fire" was an underrated suspense thriller that he starred in in the latter part of his career. 🕵️🕵️🕵️
Have you seen Play Misty for me?
I 100% agree that that is exactly how Walt wanted to go out, especially with how torn up he was about the stuff he did during the war. He didn't want to die slowly of cancer, and he didn't want to have to kill more people just because, even though he maybe could have. This was the only way for him to have a quick death and give the neighborhood, Sue, and Tao any sort of peace. We also know how they truly felt, because the whole neighborhood came out as witnesses instead of clamming up and protecting their own. So in that sense they were sticking up for Walt as one of their own against the gang, and he did it without a gun so that they couldn't claim self defense.
The will reading is also just awesome. The rat bastard family gets nothing, and the only person who gets anything is the one person who never expected anything. It's also just satisfying to hear him publicly acknowledge Tao as his friend, especially with the earlier reference just after he locked him in the basement.
Nice reaction, as always, very touching movie. I like how you were caught off guard or mildly surprised by Clint singing the closing song, he has sang in other movies like Paint Your Wagon.
Yeah he has such a good voice
The Rifle he used is a M1 Garand, it was developed for WW2 and used partly in Korea.....
Yeah it's one old one
I always see this film as the spiritual sequel to Heart Break Ridge.
Another nice movie again Jen.. One of his beggining movies directing was the western "The outlaw Josey Wales" and it is a very nice western movie. The other 2 great movies he got the Oscar also were "Mystic River" and " Changeling"..both were very deep..I mean very deep and unsettling .. he also released 2 war movies at same time can you believe it?..they were called "Flags of Our Feathers" and "Letters from Ivo Jima" showing the Americans and Japanese perpective.. but the list of movies he directed is huge and one lady on tv said once "..everything Clint Eastwood touches, turns gold..".. I truly believe so, because he puts so much love on whatever he touches.. he himself is a masterpiece of a person...great reaction Jen..looking charming as usual Jen..
I've seen many reactors gloss over the will towards the end. "I'd like to leave my house to the Church because Dorothy would've liked it". The HOUSE, what his son was after. Everyone is hanging onto the car segment, but him giving away his house is a huge thing many don't acknowledge and actually pretty hilarious of Walt.
When Walt locked Thao up, the steel screen on the door was reminiscent of the church confessional. Walt gave Father Janovich his confession about relatively minor things, but confessed to Thao about his real regrets in life.
Walt reminds so much of my late grandfather. He hand a heart of gold which he protected by his hateful exterior.
I'm so surprised that Jen didn't cry at this lol but it's OK I didn't initially but I did dirjg the funeral when I saw the family shocked at how many hmong people were sat in full dress robes for Walt this movie was stunning
I was initially shocked at how he went out until I remembered that he was dying soon anyway
Wonderful movie. I think that a lot of Clint's fans were shocked and moved to tears because this is only the second time we've ever seen him die on film (1971's "The Beguiled" was the first). Such a rare thing, very unexpected, but totally the right solution in this film. His death (which was inevitable anyway) served a purpose and gave his life meaning.
I am glad you enjoyed this film so much. I also love this film. I grew up with men like Walt and the Barber, and the construction Foreman. My grandfather was something like Walt. To see such a bigoted man soften up and become endeared to an Asian family like that, after really disliking them, and even grow close to a couple of them, is incredible. This is incredibly heartfelt. I ALWAYS cry at the end, and I'm a guy. This is one of my favorite films.
I don't care if you cry just glad you did a reaction to one of the greats...
I love the part when the gang rolls up on Toad in the ally and the kid throws his tape measure on the ground. As if its not made of metal and designed to take way more abuse than that, but it's suggested that his tools were broke. No chance they broke a single one of those things with just their bare hands.
I'm with you, Jen. I never react to a first viewing. Once I know the story and watch it again, the emotions start flowing.
It's one of the reasons why I could never do a reaction channel. I'm too stoic.
An honest reaction is all we ask for, thank you...this is why I enjoy your channel.
This movie can make me cry
Without question, one of Eastwood’s best movies ever. I’ve been a fan of his work since the Seventies.
But these days he’s just as great at directing as he is acting. I’ve loved many of his pictures, however Grand Torino is special. It’s definitely one to watch more than once.
16:54 i cannot believe google lists this as a "thriller/western" movie. Ive always seen this is a comedic drama more than anything.
R.I.P. Carl Weathers (1948-2024)
Great reaction, I feel like you GOT this movie all the way through, fabulous, thank you Jen 😊
Jen, if anybody is complaining and/or getting upset that you didn't cry at a specific scene in a movie, then there's no way they are real fans of yours, and you should just pay them no mind! More than likely they clicked on your video because you happen to be reacting to one of their favorite movies, and they're the type of people who can't handle somebody not having the same reaction as they do...
You are awesome, and your reactions are genuine and entertaining as "frig", so keep doing what you're doing, and don't give any more energy to the crybaby snowflakes in your comment section! Lol
Sue is my favourite part of this film.She's what we should all strive to be.She see's underneath the shell.Its a shame the actress hasn't been in more movies.
This movie is one of his best. he has done some comedy films in the late 70's, Every Which Way But Loose and Any Which Way You Can, they're good for a laugh.
As a 60 year old ex Marine, I still cry every time I watch this movie, one of the best ever!
If you don't cry, you don't cry. 🤷♂️👍
I recommend "Hereafter", it's a hidden gem. Not only did Clint Eastwood directed the film, he also wrote and performed the music for it.
The movie flopped in the US - not because it's bad but because 1/3 of the film is in French and Americans disliked movies with subtitle.
If people watching your reactions expect you to react a certain way and you don't, and they get upset about it, don't listen to them and they should start their own reaction channels. You do you the way you feel. This is your channel and I'm here to see you. Not them. Thank you for your reaction. I look forward to seeing you Sunday morning.
I think that this is one of those movies where it brings men to tears as much as, if not more than women. There's something about a man sacrificing himself for someone else that I think just hits a man's heart a little harder than it does a woman's. Plus, the character growth of a hardened man like this is something that is great to see. Nice reaction, and there's never a reason to apologize for crying, or not crying. Everyone gets emotional in different ways and at different times.
We bought one of those phones for my father-in-law after he complained about the buttons and numbers being too small. After watching this movie, I thought maybe we made a mistake.
That's the great thing about Clint Eastwood movies. He's always the best part.
Great movie cant wait! Luv Eastwood as actor and director. "The Mule" is another good watch!
32:17 Yes, that’s Clint singing!
10:14 This is Scott Eastwood, one of Clint’s sons, and a successful actor in his own right. This is one of the only films he’s made with his father.
Not one of My Favorite Movies, but I'll never forget how Powerful Eastwood's Performance was in this Intense Drama!👍
Hope You Enjoyed this one (Jen) and Thank You for making it another Fun-&-Friendly Premiere💝I'm always up for those!
Won't say who but someone in "Fast & Furious" drives that exact same Car...👌
GO!GO!GO!GO!GO! 💥💥💥
As someone planning on being a major Ahole when i'm old this movie is an huge inspiration.
I saw this movie in the theater the 2nd weekend it was out. It was nearly sold out and most of the audience gave it a standing ovation at the end. Despite the poor acting of the Hmong actors, this was easily my second most favorite film of his after Unforgiven.
My grandfather was a WW2 veteran, and Clint's character reminds me of a lot of my grandfather, the best man I've ever known.
The Ford Gran Torino was also the car (red with white stripes) in the 1975-1979 TV show Starsky & Hutch.
No shade for not crying, not everyone reacts the same way 🙂
Eastwood's acting has certainly come a long way from his early western days. Director Sergio Leone once joked that at the time, Eastwood only had two facial expressions: with the hat and without the hat. 😄
Kyle Eastwood along with Michael Stevens also did the scores for Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, Letters from Iwo Jima, and Invictus.
Jen reaching legendary status now ❤ ... also mention to tara 😊
8:56 Very defining moment in the movie. People are giving him gifts and he opens the door with a rifle ready to go.
Yeah, I think he was still dealing with ptsd until his neighbors helped him out of it
Check out the same grumpy old man Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman in Million Dollar Baby
Won't be there but have a wonderful time guys and don't forget to smash that like button 👌
Thanks Jen for another great reactions. I forgot how this ended. Hello from Pa USA 🇺🇸 ❤❤❤😊
If you want to see Clint do something a bit more fun . Check out "Heartbreak Ridge". Tom "Gunny" Highway is an iconic character.
