I cried like a baby watching this movie. I actually cried like 20 minutes after the movie ended just thinking about it lol. What a script. What a performance 👏
Right? I was folding laundry after watching it and started crying again thinking about it.
I'm one of those people that tries everything to not cry while watching a movie, including, making stupid noises, repeating the actors words in a stupid tone etc etc but none of that worked on this movie, just like you, I cried 20 minutes after I finished the movie.
21:59 this scene killed me.
I finished it about an hr ago and still feeling so emotional. He’s so deserving of the Oscar. What a movie.
I have yet to watch The Whale, but when I first watched "Hotel Rwanda" a few years back... I reacted in almost the same way.
So did I. As soon as the movie ended and I was left alone with my emotions, I broke down into tears for like 30 minutes. I even picked up the phone and called a friend to calm myself down
Brendan Fraser certainly earned his Oscar with this role. But Hong Chau and Sadie Sink were also exceptional. I watched this when it opened in theaters in December, and I want to watch it again, but I have to mentally prepare myself before jumping back into this deeply emotional film.
Sadie Sink was very good in the role even though I came to despise the character. I think the filmmakers should have toned down her awfulness.
@@davidsumner7604 I really appreciated the choice to not redeem her character instantaneously at the end of the movie; helped to make the characters more grounded and realistic
Honestly think that his co starts were snubbed. I wasn't a fan of "Everything Everywhere All At Once" And was kinda disappointed that it took most of the awards away from fantastic performances!
Too bad they couldn't cast an actual fat actor in the role. But ironically Hollywood mostly shuns that body type.
@@Blaze44_22 He is fat dude 😂 shame they didn’t hire short people for the Hobbits? Shame they didn’t hire deformed people for Wrong Turn? Think about it dude 😂
I’m so happy he won the Oscar. He so deserved it! I was emotional all day after I watched it😢
I love how the movie makes us feel as trapped as Charlie. We never leave the house, because he never does. As soon as he dies, we also stop seeing what's happening and we'll never know how Ellie or Liz or even Thomas went on with their lives, because HE will never know.
I know you weren’t able to fit it into the reaction, but the line that broke me in this movie was “Who would want me to be part of their life?” I’ve struggled with weight issues my entire life and that line is such a true line for someone who struggles with self esteem and weight issues.
🤡
This movie almost broke me
@@brennenbjorgan1867 🤡
That line killed me 😭
I used to weigh more than 650 pounds. I've endured public (as in "Cover of the NY Post") shaming and painful personal epiphanies. It's been difficult but I've lost 400+ pounds and the journey continues. Despite my love of this channel, I'm not going to watch the reaction until I've seen the movie. If it broke Natalie's heart, I think it might hit me a little too hard.
Much love to you. Continue your journey.
congrats on all your hard work! And of course, I always say no one should ever watch any movie with me for the first time ❤
I've suffered the pain you are talking about too. My brothers would humiliate me at school and home. My parents did the same. I lost 110 pounds and the humiliation stopped - for a while. They will always find something to torture you about. Love Brendan Fraser and loved his character Charlie. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with the world!!
@@elaineproffitt1032Lol
thats madly impressive wau ! congratulations !
This movie really got to me. The ending scene, when the light washes over Charlie as he's hearing Ellie's essay, from her own mouth, for the final time... I couldn't hold it together.
It's not actually implied he died in that moment though.
@@jsmithers. nah he definitely did. The floating up, the white light, and the last shot of him in his most treasured memory. At the beach.
@@Jane-ow7sr Could just be a hallucination or dream.
@@jsmithers. we get it you may still be in denial
@@Jane-ow7sr No. The director literally said it's up for interpretation if he died. That entire scene could have just been imagined.
Although Brendan Fraser has the best performance, Liz is probably the most interesting character to me. She clearly loves Charlie and wants to help, but she also recognizes that he doesn't want the help. And we see her enabling Charlie's eating habits, but then we learn it's because she had to struggle with seeing her brother starve himself.
I like how they portrayed Liz as Charlie’s enabler. Enablers typically know what they’re doing but their love for or the exhaustion from fighting their addict keeps the cycle going. That’s why programs like Al-anon are so important. Addiction changes and destroys everyone involved
As someone who is queer, from a religious family that’s cut me off for it, has struggled with an eating disorder and depression, and has lived in Conservative states (including Idaho, where this is set) almost my entire life, the Whale struck every chord it could have struck with me. An incredible film. Masterpiece
You are loved, you are valued, and you are seen . I wish you nothing but happiness in your life from here on out. Take care of yourself and live well
Damn, I imagined this hit VERY hard! 💜
@@NatalieGoldReacts I’ve never sobbed harder in public than when I went to watch this for the first time
@@MotherofImps 💜
Great movie
This is a heavy movie, i hope Nat is okay and rehydrated well after this gut wrenching and at the same time phenomenal performance by both Brendan and Sadie
"Heavy" movie.
Lol!😂
@@markcreemore4915 blue whale heaviness...
She is still dehydrated.
Yeah i could feel the full weight of watching this movie...but serious what a great movie 10/10
@@Wildguns76 1/10
I'm so happy that Branden won the Oscar for this. He has earned this 10 fold, and this movie is incredible. I cried like a baby during this.
I wouldn't be surprised if Universal makes a 4th MUMMY movie to captalize on Brendan Fraser's comeback
My Ticket would already be bought🍿
Omg stop!! Lol I'd be the first to get my ticket, if all the cast could come back tho
Only if Rachal Weisz comes back. She's as important in my eyes
He will appear soon in the new Martin Scorsese movie THE KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.
It will be nostalgia bait and nothing else
This movie hit me very close to home. It was melancholically beautiful and gave me a hard core realization.
A hard on...? wtf
It’s really rewarding and satisfying to know that we’re living in a world where Brendan Fraser is an Academy Award Winner who’s recently fulfilled arguably the greatest comeback that we’ve ever seen for a celebrity of any kind. The Whale has become my new favorite movie of his since Encino Man, Airheads, and Crash plus his performances in a few episodes of Scrubs. As a truly proud member of the Brenaissance there was never a doubt in my mind that he’d win the Oscar for Best Actor. I sincerely hope that this will result in him getting back to form with lead roles in films regardless of whether they be comedic or dramatic in the near future. 🙌🏻👍🏻👏🏻🎬🎥🏆
This movie was devastating but beautiful. Fraser absolutely deserved that Oscar. Hong Chau and Sadie Sink also delivered great performances. I haven’t cried this much during a movie in a long time
This movie was about addiction for me, and it’s so powerful! Talking to other addicts like myself that have watched this and chose to take the steps to get better because like Liz says “you can’t save someone” they do have to want it for themselves. What I really appreciate is you acknowledging that he didn’t want to save himself, he wanted to save his daughter. So yes, this was a beautiful look into someone who has given up on themselves but not the people they love. I also have heard from others who felt like this movie helped them with grief of the passing of someone they loved that was an addict. It’s just really nice to see the impact and not feeling alone❤
How you were able to smile and laugh through most of the movie is really unbelievable. In the theater I was absolutely speechless and emotional, most of the time was in tears as I can relate to Charlie's depression on a personal level. Brendan Fraser delivered an outstanding performance
I truly feel for Liz. I’m an addict, and you really can’t help someone that doesn’t want to help themselves
In the end when the credits starts rolling, everyone in my theater were silent and no got up. We all had to process of how powerful that ending was and also wiping our tears away lol
There is a reason this movie beat out Elvis for best actor. This is such a different character and Brendan embodied him so well. Much more challenging I think because of how unique the character is. My feeling was that Liz (Hong Chau) has been giving up fighting with him in stages. She probably did fight him the food he ate, but then gave up fighting with him on that and tried to fight him on going to the hospital or some other aspect where she thought she could help him. Because in the end she sort of gives up fighting with him completely when she knows that he is going to die.
When you are a caregiver for someone, you do go through stages of enabling, fighting, and existing in their reality.
@@cassieoNah.
@@jsmithers. yah.
@@donkeydarko77 Nope.
@@jsmithers. Yope.
I was glad to finally see this movie! It was great to see Brendan Fraser finally come back out of nowhere and deliver such a strong performance. It's a tragedy the industry just kinda ditched him for so long. Seeing him and Kuy win at the Oscars was gratifying. Two actors finally getting the long overdue recognition they worked so hard for!
And Michelle Yeoh.
Well-Deserved Oscar🏆
in my mind; Charlie was already dead when her daughter say "Daddy, please". and I think her daughter actually left; those last moment where he stands up and walk was just his last vision that he see happens to himself; life flashes upon your eyes as death arriving and we all try to pictured a nice stuffs happen before we leave this world.
14:09 this really hit me hard because I’d had a cat that had been around since before I was born and as he got older he started getting really fat so my dad gave him less food for a while, but then he started getting really sick so he gave him back his unlimited food and we were going to put him down but he died in his sleep the night before. I know enabling stuff like this isn’t great but sometimes you just can’t help it you know? God I miss him so much. I’ve never known a life without him so it’s been a really hard adjustment to make so quickly.
Thomas is basically every religious person I've ever known. No matter how much you impact them, no matter how much of you they get to know, they still put their beliefs above your feelings and thoughts. The faith is always gonna matter more to them than any human life.
We are not all like that. I'm catholic and I don't push my beliefs on other people.
That final scene, specifically the part when the essay is revealed to be Ellie's, broke me. I haven't cried over a movie in quite a while, but the way Charlie just opens his heart completely to Ellie, telling her everything he absolutely needs her to know before he dies, was simply perfect and spoke to me in a way a didn't see coming. This was a great movie.
31:37 I didn't feel like The Whale was a slow film. I feel like every scene is succinct and deliberate, very efficient in its storytelling, in that each tells a specific aspect to complete the bigger story, and every dialog does that as well. It helped enormously by the acting and how each character present themselves. In the end I feel like it's a full story but I want more.
GREAT film to react too!! The ENTIRE CAST brought it here and under Darren's direction everyone hit just the right notes. I was heartbroken that Hong Chau couldn't win supporting actress for this film she was remarkable...
Brendan Fraser deserves the world, especially for his amazing performance in this.
Also, when watching this film for the first time, I didn't even notice that the entire thing was in one location, let along that it was an adaptation. Maybe I just didn't notice, but the plight of this poor man just absorbed me into the story instantaneously.
I just watched it a couple of hours ago. Brendan killed it. He was one of the favorite hero of my childhood..... Very happy to see him back.
This movie was good at showing what depression and grief can do to someone. Charlie mourned the loss of his partner and did so through emotionally eating and as he gained more weight he became more insecure and the more insecure he was the more he ate and went into a viscous cycle until he was told he was going to die.
He didn’t want to help himself, he wanted to help his daughter in which I think he could see was going down a bad path but could only see the beauty and intelligence in her and that she can be amazing if she applies herself.
This movie was heavy, dark and depressing but it was beautifully told and really is a work of art and Brendan deserves every single award he’s won bc of this movie and after finishing it this evening I now understand why it got a 6min standing ovation at the film festival. Because my reaction when it finished while ugly crying was to stand and clap. Because what a performance from the cast and what a script from the writers
@7:13 at this point he had won the oscar already! God it was Brendan's performance of a lifetime...hope he does more movies now! Again, how did Hollywood forgot about this terrific actor? Shame...
The ending of this movie broke me, I couldn’t stop crying. You really should watch “Blue Valentine” with Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, really wholesome movie 😉
I've always liked to think of Blue Valentine as a stealth sequel to Say Anything.
Oh I’ve seen that one! One of Tyler’s favorites ❤
I read it as "blue velvet" and what you said made absolutely no sense... XD
My respect for Natalie's bravery to react this drama, we understand that she is a very emotional girl and just the fact that she sees a film like this is to be admired.
I love the sincerity she conveys in her reactions, regardless of how many times she cries, I will always feel what she is feeling.
It's like we're in the room watching with her too
I loved this experience so much
You're the best 💛💙
I watched “The Whale” last night and it is a very thought provoking movie and I was tearful towards the end. I will definitely rewatch this movie.
Brendan Fraser performance was phenomenal and I am glad he won the best actor award this year at The Oscars 2023 and good to see him back acting after so many years battling his own demons and mental health issues in his real life.
I highly recommend watching this movie 😁😁
I saw the movie alone in a theater and broke my heart when he said: "I did one thing". Thank you for charring this vid.
I cried like a baby, and then that ending had me hysterical😭
I was trying not to cry, and I was doing really well, but as soon as he said: "I need to know that I've done one thing right with my life", I just bursted out crying like a 5 year old
He is right, from my studies in neurobiology even psychopaths care the problem is they care about all the wrong things because their neurology maps have been almost completely re-programmed and altered to disassociate from their inhuman actions
Brendan acted his ass off in this. So happy he won the oscar he deserved it.
When Sadie said "daddy" I just broke
A24 made a historic sweep at the Oscars, becoming the first studio in history to win all 4 acting categories and winning 7 out of the Top 8 categories (missing only Adapted Screenplay, which went to MGM Studios’ WOMEN TALKING).
I didn’t grow up with Brendan Fraser as a kid but after seeing this movie he’s one of my new favorite actors. His performance was heartbreaking and it was the first performance and film I’ve seen that made me full on weep at the end. From “I need to know I’ve done one thing right with my life” I was a wreck. Brendan deserved his Oscar
i saw this film when it was limitedly released last year, and it is truly one of the most beautifully devastating films I've seen by far. stellar cast with great performances by everyone in my opinion. glad you ended up checking it out, oscar"s" well deserved!
I got to see this in theaters an I’ve never cried harder watching a movie. Now it’s one of my favorites but I really can’t recommend if it for a casual movie night. This movie is so emotionally heavy you have to be in the right mind state to receive a good experience.
We actually have a New Life. My friend went there and I went with them once. They are indeed a culty Christian church. They're pretty good at what they do, too. The services are up beat instead of monotone and boring. They booked one of The Beatles' managers or something to speak. So some "old school rock music industry" dude came in and the service I went to was all Beatles songs with lyric changes.
They put on firework shows every year and had the money to put up a giant eye sore of a cross about two buses tall. So they clearly have wealthier patrons that they wring dry.
Strip away all the "fun" stuff and it's one of those hand in the air swaying back and forth Mob Psycho Happy Mask weirdo churches that remind me of Scientology. They use all the flash to try and get their hooks into you. Luckily, by the time I went with a friend, I had already figured out that it was basically Santa for adults, but with less "evidence". Wish they never built that hideous church, though. A park would've been nice. But that's just my experience with them.
"I need to know that I have done thing right with my life!" chokes me up every time.
Way to fuck up the line.
I don’t cry during movies. But this movie grabbed my heart. I just bursted into tears when Charlie said: “I need to know that I have done one thing right with my life!”
Love seeing Brendan Fraser getting all the love from this role. It’s awesome to see him back in the action world after everything that happened to him. ❤
Action world..?
I sobbed left right front back and center 😭😭😭✋
Wonderful just wonderful...
We drank together, we laughed together, we cried together, we fought together but ultimately, we healed together. Idgaf what banner of man you were raised under be it tough or sensitive it is NEVER unmanly to weep its always good to cry it cleanses the soul and let's w.e you believe in know flat out "I am here, I matter and I am worthy of love"
The whole movie and cast is phenomenal
Thank you for sharing your diagnoses regarding food consumption disorders. I wish you only the best going forward and hope that you've overcome said demons. I've been very depressed after my father and step-brother died recently so I think I understand your trials. Best regards, Eugene.
Yes please keep reacting to indie movies like this! You're one of the only reactors I've seen who are able to actually articulate the nuances of performances. I love your videos, keep it up!
Love your unbiased, genuine perspective on this movie! Thank you for sharing, it was so cosy and comforting rewatching this with your reactions ❤
I just can't not cry at the end when Ellie says "Daddy, please" 😢😢
Thanks for sharing your issues with binge eating, eating disorders are serious and can be a very easy thing to lean on when in pain. Hope your all the best now!
I just got back from this movie and I swear it was the most relatable and real movie i've seen in an incredibly long time. I ugly cried for like 75% percent of this film. 10/10 from me. If you're struggling with addiction seek help.
This movie was a heavy watch. i definitely teared up a lot. the acting was just insanely good
I love that you reacted to this film. I love you, Natalie. You rock.
What a performance with Sadie sink and all the characters
I lost my grandmother about a month before I watched this movie. And I couldn’t stop crying after watching the end of this movie! It all became so real all at once! 😢😭
I loved him in ´The Mummy´ and when he disappeared I was always sad I never saw him again... I never knew why.
This movie was SO simple yet SO human, SO much impact! The script, direction and acting by everyone, especially by THE MAN HIMSELF!
I watched it alone but by the end I was clapping, almost in tears! Bravo!
I first off want to say it was big of you to talk about your own struggles in this reaction.
As someone who didn’t know it was adapted from a stage play, it really did feel like it to me with the entrances, exits, the film being in a single space etc.
The violin at the ending got me so many times 😢
The ending freaking wrecked me man! I've never ugly cried harder in my life. It was insane. Had to calm myself down to not start crying loud
I can't really watch this movie myself cause I used to suffer from binge eating disorder a few years back so it's kinda (hate saying the word) triggering for me so thank you Natalie for always taking one for the team and watching these emotional provoking movies that deal with hard topics like BED
Thank you for sharing, Natalie ❤
It was very odd for me watching this movie in the cinema. I also struggled with binge eating disorder but now I'm a medical student and it was like being in a consultation with palliative patients. I can't really describe it but you feel deep sadness for what they're going through, but you are also disconnected because you have to be. I can't break down every time I'm in a difficult situation seeing people who have hours or minutes left and I felt exactly the same watching The Whale. It has its problems as a film but I found it very effecting and realistic in its portrayal of health, addiction, and grief.
I just watched this Friday night for the first time and cried so much at the ending, especially that one particular line from Charlie. Just broke me.
Man, I could NOT stop sobbing in the theater when I saw this movie. Like full body-shaking, please-nobody-look-at-me-right-now, ugly crying.
Charlie’s story and Brendan’s performance hit me like a bus. I legitimately thought about walking out of the theater at one point because I didn’t think I could handle it but I’m glad I stayed and watched the whole thing. I could relate to a lot of the things Charlie was struggling with so it was a very therapeutic experience for me.
I knew immediately that Brendan would win an Oscar for this and I’m so happy for him that he was deservedly recognized.
Loved every minute of it! Watched it about a week ago in cinema just the night before Brendad got the Oscar for his role! I sobbed during the movie and also during the walk home. It hit so deep!
Congratulations to Brendan Fraser for his extraordinary Oscar-winning performance. This film broke me.😢
Thank you for the honest reaction and for sharing personal experiences with us.
I'm a bad one for crying at film and TV but this had me properly sobbing at the end. The line "daddy please" broke me.
The most powerful performance of the year.
Just had to say what a fantastic job you did with your overall review of this film. Your analysis and just general thoughts of the film were top notch. I watch a lot of other reaction video related channels but currently I think your the best. You don't shy away from showing your feelings which to me is a breath of fresh air. Keep up the good work. Sending love from the UK. 🫡
thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable. You are a beautiful person inside and out...plus! you give me serious curl envy!!
This whole movie triggered me..
June 15,2022 I was admitted into a hospital. I weighed 564 lbs and was experiencing congenital heart failure. I was dying and had no idea until they finally told me. All of these sounds and feelings remind me of a life I once experienced.. it took so much work and effort from the medical staff but they somehow managed to bring me back. I stayed in the hospital for 3 more weeks and some how managed to leave the hospital alive. I’ve lost 197 lbs since that day. I hope this movie resonates with people.
My emotions…..my emotions!
Fear Street Trilogy .. Sadie Sink stars in the second film. LOVED it!!!
In my eyes, Brendan won a well deserved Oscar 🏆 for this movie. He truly broke my heart with this movie.
I was in the theatre bawling my eyes out after learning she wrote the essay then she called him daddy.....then he stood up...I wanted him to live so bad but the film is very blatant that he will not....ahh....I was sitting in the theater for minutes after the screen went back trying to collect myself before leaving ...so many tears.. I want to share this film with everyone. I didn't watch the oscars but I woke up cheering reading the notification Brendan Fraser won best actor
Saaaaame
The lighting when she opens the door after every dark scene (both literal and figurative) was definitely an ah-ha! Moment for me.
Certainly a tragic tale but not necessary sad. Everything sad that happened, came before. He was already at his low point from the beginning. It just took the rest of the movie for the rest of us to catch up.
Also eating disorders are something I’m acutely familiar with and I’m glad that you were able to come through it ok.
when he said "you're perfect!" I was already bawling
crying again with this masterpiece of cinema
Another great reaction, Nat. Have a great week!
this is one of the most beautifully human films I have ever seen
This movie broke me. Reminded me so much of my mom and it hurt. But brilliant acting and writing.
Literally paused to type this, but you talking about having an eating disorder and separating yourself yet still being an extrovert hit so hard. It's been a constant struggle in life to fight the urge to eat when I'm alone, cause that feeling of being full is at least feeling something. Doesn't matter that I know that I'm destroying my body because who cares about me anyway. That short term satisfaction of the food you love filling that terrible void of emptiness is so real. It's funny how mental health affects the psyche in such interesting ways and pulls you in directions of self destruction that you're completely aware of but can't stop yourself from doing in the moment. It's been a hard struggle that ebbs and weaves throughout my weekly life. Gaining and losing 15lbs literally weeks apart from one another. But I'm working on it and haven't allowed it to take over or let myself lose control. Anyway, much appreciation
As someone with weight issues and self-esteem issues and general binge eaten issues, parts of this film hit me hard. I love how they even humanized the mother and expressed why she felt so resentful. I had my doubts at first, but one bored night I gave the film a chance and im glad i did
He also does an amazing Job with Joe Pesci in With Honors early 90’s flick. Underrated for sure. Both Brendan and Pesci bring an awesome performance
The only movie i remember crying more throughout and afterwards was schindlers list. It’s an exercise in misery and Brendan really deserved that Oscar.
As someone who has a binge eating disorder. As someone who like charlie shut myself away from everything and everyone i felt so koved by this film. My heart hurt so badly for him. I wept in the theatre.
All the actors just killed it. So glad Brendan won the Oscar! I loved this film, it felt like it lived in realism. Most stories about addiction feel so fabricated by Hollywood, as you mentioned it being a play, maybe that medium helped ground it in realism. I agree with what you said about the ending, I just assumed that was all in how Charlie felt at that moment, I doubt it actually occurred that way.
The tragedy of this story is that everyone wants to help and they may have good intentions, but no one actually is and are actually making things worse.
Liz take care of Charlie but enable him and because of her own issues, end up closing Charlie off from people.
Thomas wants to help, but only through his own journey for enlightenment, a journey that has hurt Charlie in the past.
Mary shut Charlie from his own daughter. At first, it was for an understandable reason, but it ended up hurting both Ellie and Charlie.
And Charlie ended up hurting his own daughter. He is obsessed with giving Ellie this huge amount of money in order to at least do one thing right by her, but forget the one thing that she needed the most.
Maybe he found peace when he finally stood up and went to Ellie, something that he should’ve been doing.
The one thing I don’t get is Charlie’s obsession with honesty. I don’t think it’s something that he was deprived of. Maybe it’s about people having ulterior motives in helping him or maybe it’s something that got lost in the conversion to a movie.
Deserved oscar.
My dad was very obese, and the stress his heart was enduring trying to cope with it killed him at 59. This movie hit me like a truck.
This movie broke me; I was sobbing for over 30 minutes after it ended.
Incredible film, beautifully acted.
The fact that this wasn't nominated for the best picture Oscar is a crime.
