Every once in a while you run across a story that touches your soul, this one that brought forth so many emotions sadness, love, friendship and the love of his mother was deeper than any ocean.

I didn't like her th1st movie I saw her in but soon ca too.e to appreciate her acting when i next watced her & Hugh Grant in a couple. I do agree that she is excellent indeed but I also think there are a few as good..really enjoy each as I watch them. 'The magic of ordinary days' was a movie I enjoyed a few days ago..not brilliant actresses/actors but did love them. I don't know how it rates compared to this as I've not watched yet..only reading the comments first. Still..I loved it even though not necessarily a polished one maybe to some. See what you think ?
She and Tom Hanks both bring a human element to the roles they play, that makes everything they play in touch you in some way. Its easy to mistakenly believe that some actors have a knack for picking great roles in great movies, when the truth is they MAKE them great.
@@waltersmith281to each its own; the movie is great acting. It deals with mental health struggles in a doomed relationship right from the get go.❤ One has to go thru it ti understand the movie theme... D' Onofrio is a great character actor, a great leading man in his younger days..❤🎉🎉🎉 cheers to you, too Oh! I Forgot to add that the film is a ladies's- romance- drama-movie, so yes, I can definitely understand the "kidding" perpective it might be for you..lol😂
My feelings changed as the story moved on. I went from thoroughly disliking Mr. Howard to feeling sorry for him, to having actual affection for him. From the moment that woman on the bus started talking, my heart started breaking and the tears started to flow. I was surprised by the fact that the girl didnt start writing until she was retired and that her story was about the time she shared with Bob and that this film is based on that story. It all went full circle and in all her life, she never forgot him .
@@yodservant I can't help but wonder how differently Howard's life would have turned out if she would have given him another chance, when he seemed to sincerely realize that he needed her and wanted to commit to being with her and expressed that to her.
This movie cut into my heart terribly;It is my son my only son's story;He is a kind and gentle soul that fantasizes about how life is in his mind;Beautiful yet the majority of people cant see it;Being close to going home and leaving him is really tearing me apart because I feel that will be the one thing he cannot push himself through and will end his journey too soon;Lord praying you stay close to him and this won't be the way your story ends
Just the fact that you notice your son is this way makes you an amazing mom! That love will help him through. You will be the voice in his head guiding him through life.
Trust Him to Jesus and you also must trust in Him..know Him as you Savior and Lord. Worry is fearing the worst..that's what devil wants forces.. to live in fear.
I've really only seen one good movie since 2010. A Star is Born with B. Cooper and Gaga was one of them. So sick of Star Wars, Marvel, bad horror movies and the like. Today's movies are made to stupify people. However...I REALLY am looking forward to the new DiCaprio flick, Killers of the Flower Moon. I am willing to go to a theater and sit through all three and a half hours of it.
Well, it's all planned out to control how and what people should think and feel. US is full of demonic killing and sex filled zombies....isn't that what Bob said..people want it!
Thought that myself recently; 90-2010 seemed to be the pinnacle. Now most movies are preachy and pushing a woke agenda instead of entertaining us with compelling characters/story lines.
We have been hitchhiking from womb to womb in various species for billions of years…very possible we have been living in that era as well….better to wake up from this waking dream life and exit this never endiig cycle of birth death rebirth…
I love Vincent D’Onofrio’s acting, he can pull off a variety of characters really well. I’ve also met him twice in person because his sister owned a restaurant here and she hosted his charity he does for cops exposed to drug houses. He was very gracious and nice. Got two pics with him and an autograph.
The only actors I've met were when I was a child. Kate Jackson, Barry Williams,And I can't remember the other ones name, but he played on Bonderosa David Carnary I think was his name. They were at the Telethon in Raleigh and we had gone around the neighborhood collecting money and got to speak with them because of it.
Thank you for posting this. It's nice to know he's a decent person and quietly supports a good charity. I've always enjoyed his range as an actor and when I first saw this movie years ago I thought he was great in it. So different from his more famous roles.
This movies d the actors really were amazing. Touched me to the heart and helped me understand we do not walk this walk alone. So many people are alone in this life’s walk, however, inside each one of us there is someone who needs to be loved and appreciated.
"...inside each one of us there is someone who needs to be loved and appreciated." How I "survive" that big empty place at 77 is that I remember the loves I have known in the past and try to remember the words they shared as I do remember their kind actions. And while I wish I had love in my life at this time I am grateful for the loves I have known, people who were kind and people who believed in me. I've been blessed and I do not forget it.

How about Daniel Day Lewis in "Gangs of New York" and "There Will Be Blood", that is top notch incredible acting. Also Javier Bardem in "No Country For Old Men". I guarantee you that those 3 movies will reveal to you the best acting you have ever seen in your entire life.
Both lead actors talents, along with the storyline made this one of the best films Iv'e ever seen. Vincent D'Onofrio is one of the most brilliant actors of his age. Many thanks for posting this amazing films.❤❤
One of my favorite movies of all time. So deep, so beautiful and so emotional. Grateful to whoever uploaded it to RUclips. A film with soul that touches the heart.
What a great film with superb acting by both Renee and Howard. I love watching a Texas gal play another Texas gal. We're so proud of you, Renee! You just get better with time!
His acting was amazing in this show I had never heard of before. Rene was perfect as she always has been. Amazing scenes between them, perfect chemistry.
I totally agree! Here’s a fun bit if trivia for you… he had a pretty great part as “Edgar”the farmer in the original “Men In Black” movie ! Thats the first role I remember seeing just how much of a talented actor he is! And his role on “Law and Order (for years!) made me a diehard fan for life! He is excellent!
Thank you RUclips for giving us this tender, beautifully acted tale of friendship and a special kind of love which if you are lucky, may occur in your lifetime between ywo souls connected and magically entangled.
I had no idea what this movie was about, just started watching. As I see it, it's a brilliant story of love, acceptance or no acceptance, conformity and non conformity and following your heart. The lady at the end was an angel sent by Bob for Novalyn. 100% recommend!
Two Gun Bob Howard is my all time favorite author. It's nice that a movie about him was made. Now if someone would make a Conan movie about the actual character he created that would be even better.
AT the end I realized why it felt so real. The characters were like real life people fleshed out and round. In fact, they were. It was an amazing film, it shows that life is the best story teller and real people are more exciting many times than fictional ones. Thank you. Kudos for both actors, it was amazing. Of course, from Renée Zellweger this is what one expects. Thank you. I was touched I was moved I was really absorbed in their life story.
Robert E. Howard was indeed a real person and a real writer, he is often compared to J. R. R. Tolkien as one of the fathers of modern fantasy. the Conan character who is mentioned several times throughout the film is the basis for the 1982 film Conan the Barberian, staring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
I saw this movie about 12 years ago and had a vague memory of it, all I recalled was the superb acting (Rene and Vincent) and I knew it was a magnificent story. I was so glad I found it tonight!! what a treat!!!!!!
Your comment has made me cry. Thank you for putting everything into order and I have the same predicament that when I'm gone what's going to happen to my son
D'Onofrio never disappoints when portraying psychologically complex characters. I first became interested in him when he played the part of the Criminal Intent detective Robert Goren. He has a certain je ne sais quoi that never fails.
Agree. Later, I realized i had seen in movies and didn’t make the connection. I watched those movies in awe of how he was so different. My hubby and I enjoyed his depiction of detective Goren a lot. ❤❤
Not to forget that he played that roach creature in Men In Black... But the first time I saw him was Adventures in Babysitting. The kids thought he was Thor 😂❤
6+18-23 I have wanted to see this movie for years, and I'm so glad I watched it tonight. What an incredible story! A beautiful story about a very complex young man who lived life on his own terms. In spite of his difficulties in life and his flaws, deep down he had a beautiful spirit. Novalyne is/ was (?) clearly an amazing person to have seen beyond the rough edges, and appreciate and love Bob for who he was. This movie really touched my heart, and I only wish Hollywood would produce more quality films like this. Many thanks to the person who posted this!
I've always have loved being mezmerizd by watching Vincent's acting but THIS was most brilliant and exceptional. Both leads are incredibly their best together. So glad I got to see this movie. Unforgettable!!!
One of my favorite movies. Love Vincent's chuckling laughter and accent throughout. Both actors are perfectly balanced against each other. Dialogue and his loud outbursts are priceless and funny at once. L❤
Good movie. I love intelligent dialog, there is so little of it these days. Renee is terrific and Vincent D’Onofrio is great. There was a moment he went a bit Private Pyle/Full Metal Jacket - he should have gotten a best supporting actor Oscar for that role.
I didn’t set out to watch this. The movie just came up on my YT page. Started up automatically, so I just let it run. Never heard of it either. Of course, I too cried at the end. You know sometimes love is so multi faceted, so complicated. The older I get, the more I just accept that love and loving just has its own compass. At least both Novalyn and Bob stayed true. Death comes to us all. Just as does love- however it manifests. I am so grateful for watching this movie performed by excellent actors. I am gonna look up her book. Writing it at 75 or 76? There’s still hope for me yet! 🙏🙏🙏
What an amazing movie! I didn't know it was based off a true story until the movie was over. I do wish it coulda been longer. I liked it so much that I went and did some online research to see pictures of the actual people. They were in love, but there lives and differences about each other didn't allow them to even dare to have or enjoy a dating relationship let alone get married. I give this movie two thumbs 👍👍 up! ❤ Thanks so much to the soul that did the hard work and uploaded it for us all too see.
Crystal, stay in school and pay particular attention in English classes. Your spelling, grammar and syntax need improvement. Things are “based on” reality, not based off it. Their and there sound alike, but have totally different meanings. Learn the difference between “to” and “too”. Again, homonyms, but with very different meanings and functions in a sentence.
@@judeirwin2222 Only GOD can teach me. I need not your opinion of how This Kingdom Queen speaks or TyPes for That MatTer... Merry Christmas and HapPy kNew Year, sir/ma'am 🎈🎉☺️😃
What an amazing film! No nudity vulgarity or violence. Just a beautifullly acted and told story full of love kindness loyalty and emotion. Beautiful worth ever minute ❤
Vincent & Reenee did a great job. They always put themselves in the place of who they portray. Every emotion to be felt & shared is in this movie. It opens our heart & lifts our spirit & converges in our soul. I love this movie because it opens our minds to the way others sees things, we may not be able to see. Much less focus on. Vincent always does a great job regardless of who he plays. His depth of emotions stirs us so we may open our eyes, heart & mind to value what's before us. I felt every emotion one can feel when watching movies like this. It was directed & produced perfectly. Thank you for posting this amazing/reality style movie. It's sad he took his life & left this world w/out completing his writings & prose. Just because someone has a different outlook on life, & what they believe it should be, doesn't mean it isn't real. Life takes us on an amazing journey as different people come into our life no matter how long it is. I cried off & on throughout this movie. It touched my heart & made me thankful for who I am & how much being in love w/the right person makes a difference. I'm happier than I've ever been since a very special, amazing man came into my life. We're deeply in love. We have a spiritual connection a lot of couples do not have. I compose poetry & people love reading & receiving it. Have an amazing journey & a blessed day. Happy Mother's Day to all mothers. God blessed is w/the gift to give life. It is an honor to be able to bear children w/a man you love.
Very beautifully perceived and written comment. I can relate to finding the love of your life and like in this movie recognizing, accepting, and loving the unique differences and quirkiness in each other. I was in a very traumatic, loveless marriage for twenty five years and when it was over I was absolutely not looking for anyone and wanted to just finish raising my fifteen year old twin daughters. When out of nowhere this bigger than life West Texas rancher who looked and sounded exactly like John Wayne came into our lives and embraced us all with more love and protection than I had ever realized. He was a total alpha male who had been cattle ranching, riding, roping, building, fixing anything, hunting, a total man’s man that could do anything and yet has the most gentle, generous, sweet soul and loved literature, and is also a very good poet. He wrote and recited wonderful poetry. My whole family has been blessed with this incredible person and although I did not actually bear a child with him we raised one of my twin daughter’s baby girl when my daughter became pregnant at 16. My husband and my hero, even though I’m many years younger than he, has seen me through one advanced stage 4 cancer and never left my side and took incredible care of not only me but our three year old adopted granddaughter at the time, and now eight years later after being cured of the first cancer I am once again battling my second stage 4 cancer, this time I have to stay five hours away from my beloved husband because we live in a very remote area of west Texas and I’m undergoing more treatment and the separation is the hardest part of it all. Someday soon I dream of being able to go back home so we can once again be together again. Thank you for sharing your sensitive and very perceptive insights. Many blessings to you !
What a lovely and inciteful perception of this movie. I have seen it and and don’t remember it being so touching and I’m usually more in tune. Now I’m going to watch it again since reading your comment! Thanks.
What an absolute privilege to have seen this most beautiful film , everything about it was incredible, the acting , the locations, the direction everything just perfection . I’m so sorry Robert took his own life , so sorry for his lost chance of love with Novaylyn , He was different but so unique .. Absolutely overjoyed I found this .. Thank you for posting it .
A fine romantic drama. I didn't know until the end that this is based on a true story. A movie beautifully made and beautifully acted. Thank you for the upload!
As the movie was coming to a close, I wanted to know the ending before it played out on my screen. I think the movie followed the biography pretty well. Naturally one has to cram as much into a nearly 2 hour script as a writer can, but the screenwriter managed to succeed in telling the story of the relationship between Bob and Novalyne. I wish I could have met her. She's a person I would have enjoyed knowing. I've known many authors in my lifetime, but Robert E. Howard inspired my brothers as boys and still do to this day. But it's Novalyne who inspires me.
Renee Zellweger was able to impart so well the character of Novalyne…a strong willed sensitive woman who believed in her own worth …a relationship that brought so much joy and great sadness…a movie with many messages..mainly judgement of those who just don’t get it.
A profound film, about two wondrous Souls bound beyond earthly connection - excellent actors, both perfect in their own right. What an honour to catch a glimpse of the true story and feel a tiny bit of their stunning bond.
The best writers live their stories. This movie has inspired me to pick up writing again. I have much to write about. Thank you for bringing this story to the screen and youtube..my little screen on my computer desk.
This is one of the best movies I've seen since the notebook. I couldn't stop watching it for a second. Great acting and the greatest story with the best of the best actors. Stellar movie! ❤
At first, I thought it was boring but then it became one of my favorite stories. The ending made me cry a lot. I love how Howard shows honor and love for his mother. He may sound rude sometimes but if you delve in to the situation he's in, you'll gonna be amaze of his character.
RZ chooses rich roles with depth of character. This movie masterfully demonstrates how to maintain challenging relationships with healthy boundaries and get the best out of them.
This movie was so good and I had never heard of it, although i love both actors. Very enjoyable yet food for thought regarding life situations. Then seeing that it is based on true story AND this woman was 76 when she wrote this?! Quite extraordinary 🌅
This movie tears at my heart, it’s so beautiful and so sad. I walked that path and 20 years after he took his own life, he is the love of my life and the worst pain I have endured.
This one hasn't left my top 10 movies list for a LONG while. Most romantic line in movie history - delivered with perfection. "You got it (a gun) with you?" "No, I don't have it with me." "Well, good. Because I'd hate to try to kiss you... and get shot."
Beautiful love story! What else can I say that was not said in the movie. One has to experience it in order to try and understand why did it have to end this way. Love is the treasure at the end of the rainbow that all of us seek and few ever find.
@@terryzolnik1204 I respect ur opinion... Try to look at the scene from another point of view... She accepted him for his true self... He let his guard down... For a brief moment they both shared a connection of unconditional ,look before you leap, pure love
I just had the pleasure of being entertained for "2" hours by two extraordinary and charismatic actors who brought magic, joy and sadness - and made me cry. A++
My first time seeing this movie but not the first time seeing Mr D’Ornofrio or Miss Renee Zellweger act and I have to say that they never disappoint. I really believed that they were the characters that they played until I learned that the story was not fiction but real. I like others who made comments found out at the end of this movie. Wow! So powerful and beautifully written. I was so moved to tears. This was for me by far an absolute masterpiece ❤
At the end of the movie, on the bus, for the first time a sunRISE is mentioned to Novalyne Price (Renée) , not all the sunSETS that many scenes had shown and words about them had been uttered. The storyline was so deep, so out of the ordinary that quite early during the movie I felt that A REAL WRITER must have been involved in pouring out all those emotions on us, the viewers. The end of the movie reveals the truth. I'm so glad to have seen it. It was the kind of a sad joy. / Superb acting, especially that of Mr. D'Onofrio.
This movie was so beautifully done! It also taught me who the originating author to the Conan stories were. I can even feel Bob’s essence in the Conan movie....
I watched this movie 4 times straight ; and I am going to watch it more., thank you miss price for sharing this incredible life story of a romance that failed ; but it was a success for us. thank you Bob Howard for your courage and love for people you really showed it, but you thought you hid it. you are truly a man of great substance and have outstanding qualifications .....you never knew just how great you really were . ! I am a fan of you both. Texas was blessed to have you two in the state at the same time. I believe GOD had his hands on their typewriters !
This is a very good movie, one that I don't forget even years later. The story itself is unforgettable. What a visionary writer gone too soon. I do believe if Price had not left he would have strength to live on. She promised to write once she settled in but she didn't. Two women he loved and were emotionally attached to were gone. He might have looked tough and barbarous but he was very insecure like a little child.
Only 20 minutes in but Wow! to D'Onofrio already! Had only seen him on L & O before this, had no idea of his talent! Cool! Already knew Renee was wonderful of course, always a delight ❤
First movie i believe ive ever watched that puts the viewer thru every human emotion possible. I believe Bob must have been bi polar manic depressive ,or suffered with some other mental illness. He def wasnt normal according to societys standards, but he def wasnt boring. Most great writers in the past were never considered normal anyway. Great tragedy/lovestory/comedy/drama and awesome cast.
I was thinking the same thing. There were so many emotions, so many obstacles, both internal, and external. Like you, I couldn’t help feeling that Bob was once called manic/depressive now called bi-polar. Many great thinkers, writers, poets, artists are very sensitive to the point of depression. A great true story made into a very interesting, deep, emotional movie!
Howard reminds me of North Carolina writer Thomas Wolfe in some ways re his behavior....manic and depressive, hyper and socially awkward/frustrated. Clearly both geniuses, and both died very young, Wolfe was just 37 from pneumonia I believe. Also Nathanael West who died in 1940 in a car accident in California near the Mexican border.... interestingly they all died around the same time. West is most famous for Day of the Locust and Miss Lonelyhearts.

This is the first time in a long time that a story brought tears to my eyes.😢 What a beautiful tribute Novalyne wrote for her amazing friend.

You should see his performance in Full Metal Jacket.

I'm also soo happy, he was my favorite on the detective series. Great actor..Renée is also terrific!! She takes her time and picks some good ones.❤❤❤
Love this picture!!!
One of my favorite movies of all time. So deep, so beautiful and so emotional. Grateful to whoever uploaded it to RUclips. A film with soul that touches the heart.
What a great film with superb acting by both Renee and Howard. I love watching a Texas gal play another Texas gal. We're so proud of you, Renee! You just get better with time!
A memorable film. D'Onofrio's performance was stellar.
Always!
@@gaylehudson7267indeed ❤ I love him 😍
What a beautiful film about beauty, friendship and innocent love which turnes life and death in immortal poetry.Thank You.
Wow. Cried at the ending. Vincent Donofrio is an amazing actor.
I watched this movie over 10 years ago, and loved it. So glad i found it here. It brought tears...
His acting was amazing in this show I had never heard of before. Rene was perfect as she always has been. Amazing scenes between them, perfect chemistry.
Damn . . . Vincent D'Onofrio is one hell of an actor!!!!!!
I totally agree! Here’s a fun bit if trivia for you… he had a pretty great part as “Edgar”the farmer in the original “Men In Black” movie ! Thats the first role I remember seeing just how much of a talented actor he is! And his role on “Law and Order (for years!) made me a diehard fan for life! He is excellent!
Awesome 💯 movie
A beautiful story of a man full of life, beauty, and contradictions. D'Onofrios acting is superb!
Extraordinary, everything about it, the story, the actors, the filming..... just wonderful
Thank you RUclips for giving us this tender, beautifully acted tale of friendship and a special kind of love which if you are lucky, may occur in your lifetime between ywo souls connected and magically entangled.
Two of my favorite actors. So well respected. They played it well.❤. Such a sad ending.
I had no idea what this movie was about, just started watching. As I see it, it's a brilliant story of love, acceptance or no acceptance, conformity and non conformity and following your heart. The lady at the end was an angel sent by Bob for Novalyn. 100% recommend!
What a Movie! They still make movies like they used to, this one proves it these two have NEVER made a bad movie. Thank you so❤
Two Gun Bob Howard is my all time favorite author. It's nice that a movie about him was made. Now if someone would make a Conan movie about the actual character he created that would be even better.
Conan the Barbarian with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 80s.
@@DS-nv8bi great film! but it's basically about an original character, Howard's Conan was very different.
AT the end I realized why it felt so real. The characters were like real life people fleshed out and round. In fact, they were. It was an amazing film, it shows that life is the best story teller and real people are more exciting many times than fictional ones. Thank you. Kudos for both actors, it was amazing. Of course, from Renée Zellweger this is what one expects. Thank you. I was touched I was moved I was really absorbed in their life story.
Robert E. Howard was indeed a real person and a real writer, he is often compared to J. R. R. Tolkien as one of the fathers of modern fantasy. the Conan character who is mentioned several times throughout the film is the basis for the 1982 film Conan the Barberian, staring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
@@matthewsuchomski2593 Yes, I thought immediately to Schwarzenegger's Conan.
@@matthewsuchomski2593 !!! "Conan the Barbarian" !!! That is an amazing movie.... !!! That is such a deep deep movie... Wow... that is a must see!
This is a beautifully made movie. It rings of truth and that one should always remember and hold dear the loves we have had in our life.
I saw this movie about 12 years ago and had a vague memory of it, all I recalled was the superb acting (Rene and Vincent) and I knew it was a magnificent story. I was so glad I found it tonight!! what a treat!!!!!!
This movie came across my path for a reason. I have taken note of the message and thank God it's not too late.
Your comment has made me cry. Thank you for putting everything into order and I have the same predicament that when I'm gone what's going to happen to my son
D'Onofrio never disappoints when portraying psychologically complex characters. I first became interested in him when he played the part of the Criminal Intent detective Robert Goren. He has a certain je ne sais quoi that never fails.
Agree. Later, I realized i had seen in movies and didn’t make the connection. I watched those movies in awe of how he was so different. My hubby and I enjoyed his depiction of detective Goren a lot. ❤❤
And. He's awfully cute.😂
Have you seen his performance in Full Metal Jacket?
How right you are! I loved him as “Bobby”!
Not to forget that he played that roach creature in Men In Black... But the first time I saw him was Adventures in Babysitting. The kids thought he was Thor 😂❤
I was deeply impressed by the acting of Vincent D'Onofrio. And last but not least Renee Zellweger. Fantastic movie and acting. Deeply touched by this.
6+18-23
I have wanted to see this movie for years, and I'm so glad I watched it tonight. What an incredible story! A beautiful story about a very complex young man who lived life on his own terms. In spite of his difficulties in life and his flaws, deep down he had a beautiful spirit. Novalyne is/ was (?) clearly an amazing person to have seen beyond the rough edges, and appreciate and love Bob for who he was.
This movie really touched my heart, and I only wish Hollywood would produce more quality films like this. Many thanks to the person who posted this!
24 or...1 ?
I've always have loved being mezmerizd by watching Vincent's acting but THIS was most brilliant and exceptional. Both leads are incredibly their best together. So glad I got to see this movie. Unforgettable!!!
One of my favorite movies. Love Vincent's chuckling laughter and accent throughout. Both actors are perfectly balanced against each other. Dialogue and his loud outbursts are priceless and funny at once. L❤
Good movie. I love intelligent dialog, there is so little of it these days. Renee is terrific and Vincent D’Onofrio is great. There was a moment he went a bit Private Pyle/Full Metal Jacket - he should have gotten a best supporting actor Oscar for that role.
Yes a real lack today of any. Intelligent or meaningful conversation.
I didn’t set out to watch this. The movie just came up on my YT page. Started up automatically, so I just let it run. Never heard of it either. Of course, I too cried at the end. You know sometimes love is so multi faceted, so complicated. The older I get, the more I just accept that love and loving just has its own compass. At least both Novalyn and Bob stayed true. Death comes to us all. Just as does love- however it manifests. I am so grateful for watching this movie performed by excellent actors. I am gonna look up her book. Writing it at 75 or 76? There’s still hope for me yet! 🙏🙏🙏
"Of course, I too cried at the end." 😂🤣
What an amazing movie! I didn't know it was based off a true story until the movie was over. I do wish it coulda been longer. I liked it so much that I went and did some online research to see pictures of the actual people.
They were in love, but there lives and differences about each other didn't allow them to even dare to have or enjoy a dating relationship let alone get married. I give this movie two thumbs 👍👍 up! ❤
Thanks so much to the soul that did the hard work and uploaded it for us all too see.
I KNEW THE FIRST 12 mins that it was a true story.
I guessed by their names even I never heard of them, I knew they were not fakes names
Crystal, stay in school and pay particular attention in English classes. Your spelling, grammar and syntax need improvement. Things are “based on” reality, not based off it. Their and there sound alike, but have totally different meanings. Learn the difference between “to” and “too”. Again, homonyms, but with very different meanings and functions in a sentence.
@@judeirwin2222 Only GOD can teach me. I need not your opinion of how This Kingdom Queen speaks or TyPes for That MatTer... Merry Christmas and HapPy kNew Year, sir/ma'am 🎈🎉☺️😃
you can find them doing a google search...the casting was great judging by the photos!
What an amazing film! No nudity vulgarity or violence. Just a beautifullly acted and told story full of love kindness loyalty and emotion. Beautiful worth ever minute ❤
Vincent & Reenee did a great job. They always put themselves in the place of who they portray. Every emotion to be felt & shared is in this movie. It opens our heart & lifts our spirit & converges in our soul. I love this movie because it opens our minds to the way others sees things, we may not be able to see. Much less focus on. Vincent always does a great job regardless of who he plays. His depth of emotions stirs us so we may open our eyes, heart & mind to value what's before us. I felt every emotion one can feel when watching movies like this. It was directed & produced perfectly. Thank you for posting this amazing/reality style movie. It's sad he took his life & left this world w/out completing his writings & prose.
Just because someone has a different outlook on life, & what they believe it should be, doesn't mean it isn't real. Life takes us on an amazing journey as different people come into our life no matter how long it is. I cried off & on throughout this movie. It touched my heart & made me thankful for who I am & how much being in love w/the right person makes a difference. I'm happier than I've ever been since a very special, amazing man came into my life. We're deeply in love. We have a spiritual connection a lot of couples do not have. I compose poetry & people love reading & receiving it. Have an amazing journey & a blessed day. Happy Mother's Day to all mothers. God blessed is w/the gift to give life. It is an honor to be able to bear children w/a man you love.
So amazing and well said every word you wrote!
How incredible it is when a person views the world with Love instead of Cynicism ❤
Lovely, It made a grown man of 60, cry.
Very beautifully perceived and written comment. I can relate to finding the love of your life and like in this movie recognizing, accepting, and loving the unique differences and quirkiness in each other. I was in a very traumatic, loveless marriage for twenty five years and when it was over I was absolutely not looking for anyone and wanted to just finish raising my fifteen year old twin daughters. When out of nowhere this bigger than life West Texas rancher who looked and sounded exactly like John Wayne came into our lives and embraced us all with more love and protection than I had ever realized. He was a total alpha male who had been cattle ranching, riding, roping, building, fixing anything, hunting, a total man’s man that could do anything and yet has the most gentle, generous, sweet soul and loved literature, and is also a very good poet. He wrote and recited wonderful poetry. My whole family has been blessed with this incredible person and although I did not actually bear a child with him we raised one of my twin daughter’s baby girl when my daughter became pregnant at 16. My husband and my hero, even though I’m many years younger than he, has seen me through one advanced stage 4 cancer and never left my side and took incredible care of not only me but our three year old adopted granddaughter at the time, and now eight years later after being cured of the first cancer I am once again battling my second stage 4 cancer, this time I have to stay five hours away from my beloved husband because we live in a very remote area of west Texas and I’m undergoing more treatment and the separation is the hardest part of it all. Someday soon I dream of being able to go back home so we can once again be together again. Thank you for sharing your sensitive and very perceptive insights. Many blessings to you !
Beautifully written. ❤
What a lovely and inciteful perception of this movie. I have seen it and and don’t remember it being so touching and I’m usually more in tune. Now I’m going to watch it again since reading your comment! Thanks.
This may be the greatest movie ever made. Can't get better. Vincent D'Onofrio, Mr. Cimmerian.
Great movie. Vincent and Renee have the chemistry needed to. Are this film come alive. Bravo!
Extremely well written and captivating movie. Great acting and heartfelt story, it a shame there isn’t more movies like this. ❤❤❤❤
One of the best movies I had the chance to enjoy!!!! Superb acting by both!!! ❤❤❤❤
What a lovely, lovely, bittersweet movie, and then finding it was real made it exponentially better… ♥️
What an absolute privilege to have seen this most beautiful film , everything about it was incredible, the acting , the locations, the direction everything just perfection . I’m so sorry Robert took his own life , so sorry for his lost chance of love with Novaylyn , He was different but so unique .. Absolutely overjoyed I found this .. Thank you for posting it .
A fine romantic drama. I didn't know until the end that this is based on a true story. A movie beautifully made and beautifully acted. Thank you for the upload!
Wonderful movie. And how inspiring she was in her 70s when she wrote her story. I really enjoyed this. Thank you for making available.
Love this amazing movie😢, we can’t change people, we just have to change the way we react, accept and see.
It is simply astonishing how prolific a writer REH was with only living to 30 years of age 😢 I’ve read all the yarns that he spun !
She was the opposite of the real woman who had grace and humility.
@@catherinemagee-l3x You knew Novalyne?
Fantastic movie with such a sad end. The acting was terrific and beautiful, thank you all for this wonderful story.
I will watch anything with Rene Z in it, I thought that I saw them all until this morning!
Belinda I am in agreement with you on the subject of Rene Z…
Brenda, I'm happy that you feel the same. Renee is just too cute, and I love her acting!
@@brendabrown7130 She never disappoints!
As the movie was coming to a close, I wanted to know the ending before it played out on my screen. I think the movie followed the biography pretty well. Naturally one has to cram as much into a nearly 2 hour script as a writer can, but the screenwriter managed to succeed in telling the story of the relationship between Bob and Novalyne. I wish I could have met her. She's a person I would have enjoyed knowing. I've known many authors in my lifetime, but Robert E. Howard inspired my brothers as boys and still do to this day. But it's Novalyne who inspires me.
Bob, born in 1906, never lived passed 30.
Renee Zellweger was able to impart so well the character of Novalyne…a strong willed sensitive woman who believed in her own worth …a relationship that brought so much joy and great sadness…a movie with many messages..mainly judgement of those who just don’t get it.
A profound film, about two wondrous Souls bound beyond earthly connection - excellent actors, both perfect in their own right. What an honour to catch a glimpse of the true story and feel a tiny bit of their stunning bond.
The best writers live their stories. This movie has inspired me to pick up writing again. I have much to write about. Thank you for bringing this story to the screen and youtube..my little screen on my computer desk.
Lovely miss zellweigar! Great actress and singer,, pure talent and fortunate beauty. I always appreciate her talent.
This is one of the best movies I've seen since the notebook. I couldn't stop watching it for a second. Great acting and the greatest story with the best of the best actors. Stellar movie! ❤
You might like Genius... starring Colin Firth & Jude Law. I enjoyed it, like this very poignant & moving to the soul.
At first, I thought it was boring but then it became one of my favorite stories. The ending made me cry a lot. I love how Howard shows honor and love for his mother. He may sound rude sometimes but if you delve in to the situation he's in, you'll gonna be amaze of his character.
🌷 One of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time… I love the ones that are ‘true stories’. This was well written and very well acted. 👍
I had no idea there was a movie about the author of the Conan the barbarian books. Thanks for posting this!
A deep love story, which has an abiding nature to it. It has been said that love is patient, and kind. And so it is.
A cinematic success….always love Renee and Vincent. The story was a sad and happy one.
RZ chooses rich roles with depth of character. This movie masterfully demonstrates how to maintain challenging relationships with healthy boundaries and get the best out of them.
This movie was so good and I had never heard of it, although i love both actors. Very enjoyable yet food for thought regarding life situations. Then seeing that it is based on true story AND this woman was 76 when she wrote this?! Quite extraordinary 🌅
miss potter, quite extraordinary
This movie tears at my heart, it’s so beautiful and so sad. I walked that path and 20 years after he took his own life, he is the love of my life and the worst pain I have endured.
This one hasn't left my top 10 movies list for a LONG while.
Most romantic line in movie history - delivered with perfection.
"You got it (a gun) with you?" "No, I don't have it with me." "Well, good. Because I'd hate to try to kiss you... and get shot."
Beautiful love story! What else can I say that was not said in the movie. One has to experience it in order to try and understand why did it have to end this way. Love is the treasure at the end of the rainbow that all of us seek and few ever find.
Greatest kiss in cinema history❤❤❤
ohhhhh so true. I have to stop and replay it!!!!!
@@queen_ofall2360 me too
NOT ! He is mentally ill like his mother-both entirely narcissistic and unlikable, impotent father. Renee is a great actress.
@@terryzolnik1204 I respect ur opinion... Try to look at the scene from another point of view... She accepted him for his true self... He let his guard down... For a brief moment they both shared a connection of unconditional ,look before you leap, pure love
🤮 I thought he was gonna swallow her
What a wonderful movie, such good acting, touched my heart!
I just had the pleasure of being entertained for "2" hours by two extraordinary and charismatic actors who brought magic, joy and sadness - and made me cry. A++
Rene is one of our most gifted actresses ❤
She is a treasure for her many wonderful films !! They express life so profoundly ❤
My first time seeing this movie but not the first time seeing Mr D’Ornofrio or Miss Renee Zellweger act and I have to say that they never disappoint. I really believed that they were the characters that they played until I learned that the story was not fiction but real. I like others who made comments found out at the end of this movie. Wow! So powerful and beautifully written. I was so moved to tears. This was for me by far an absolute masterpiece ❤
A very sad story….
Beautiful soundtrack…
Excellent stars ✨
We miss so much in this life and we love the wrong people…❤
beautiful beautiful movie and that last few seconds with stranger old lady summed up everything so heartbreakingly poetic...
Wow, so so good!! I wish they made more movies with this quality!
I really loved this movie
Who ever matched up Rene and Vincent was brilliant
Bravo❤
I love movies of this time period. And the story is beautiful.
Thank you for uploading it.
What a very moving story, I am happy that I ran across it. Excellent acting from everyone involved. Truly sorrowful ending.
At the end of the movie, on the bus, for the first time a sunRISE is mentioned to Novalyne Price (Renée) , not all the sunSETS that many scenes had shown and words about them had been uttered. The storyline was so deep, so out of the ordinary that quite early during the movie I felt that A REAL WRITER must have been involved in pouring out all those emotions on us, the viewers. The end of the movie reveals the truth. I'm so glad to have seen it. It was the kind of a sad joy. / Superb acting, especially that of Mr. D'Onofrio.
Thank you for sharing this fantastic movie.
The actors are so wonderful. Xx
This movie was so beautifully done! It also taught me who the originating author to the Conan stories were. I can even feel Bob’s essence in the Conan movie....
I watched this movie 4 times straight ; and I am going to watch it more., thank you miss price for sharing this incredible life story of a romance that failed ; but it was a success for us. thank you Bob Howard for your courage and love for people you really showed it, but you thought you hid it. you are truly a man of great substance and have outstanding qualifications .....you never knew just how great you really were . ! I am a fan of you both. Texas was blessed to have you two in the state at the same time. I believe GOD had his hands on their typewriters !
This is a very good movie, one that I don't forget even years later. The story itself is unforgettable. What a visionary writer gone too soon. I do believe if Price had not left he would have strength to live on. She promised to write once she settled in but she didn't. Two women he loved and were emotionally attached to were gone. He might have looked tough and barbarous but he was very insecure like a little child.
true
Only 20 minutes in but Wow! to D'Onofrio already! Had only seen him on L & O before this, had no idea of his talent! Cool! Already knew Renee was wonderful of course, always a delight ❤
He was also in a movie where Julia Roberts took care of a rich young man with cancer. A definite role change for him.😅😅🎉❤
A beautiful heart and soul touching film. The best I've seen in a long while. Many thanks.
I'd never heard of this film but its well worth watching, beautifully acted and just a lovely story, in tears at the end.
A touching story, of a true love unfullfilled.
I really couldn't control my tears after watching.... Mind blowing
So fake…
me too
First movie i believe ive ever watched that puts the viewer thru every human emotion possible. I believe Bob must have been bi polar manic depressive ,or suffered with some other mental illness. He def wasnt normal according to societys standards, but he def wasnt boring. Most great writers in the past were never considered normal anyway. Great tragedy/lovestory/comedy/drama and awesome cast.
I agreed.
I was thinking the same thing. There were so many emotions, so many obstacles, both internal, and external. Like you, I couldn’t help feeling that Bob was once called manic/depressive now called bi-polar. Many great thinkers, writers, poets, artists are very sensitive to the point of depression.
A great true story made into a very interesting, deep, emotional movie!
Howard reminds me of North Carolina writer Thomas Wolfe in some ways re his behavior....manic and depressive, hyper and socially awkward/frustrated. Clearly both geniuses, and both died very young, Wolfe was just 37 from pneumonia I believe. Also Nathanael West who died in 1940 in a car accident in California near the Mexican border.... interestingly they all died around the same time. West is most famous for Day of the Locust and Miss Lonelyhearts.
Yes, i was speculating as to whether he may have been autistic or just an odd potato.
Reminds me of Hemingway.
Renee never disappoints/always delivers. Talented, charming, unique and beautiful.
and always a certified script. (::)
Yes she was amazing in JFK
Wow, I loved this movie! But, darn, I have the saddest feeling. I must go and just think about this movie. How intricate and deeply emotional.
What an incredible movie. What an incredible time and story. ❤
Simply put, this is a thoroughbred film.
