    They are so aware of your emotional state at all times.
    Even if it's just a sad movie instead of real life circumstance, they stop to check in with you.
    You're a lucky guy.

    Another fantastic Clint Eastwood film, and one that broke hearts. Won Hilary Swank a Best Actress Oscar, and Morgan Freeman his long overdue only Oscar win. Clint Eastwood is nothing short of a legend, especially if you hear his incredible survival story back in his enlisted days.

    One of the hardest movies i've ever seen. One of the more beautiful.
    Franky seemed pretty much dead when we first met him. Running on routines and regrets. She breathed life into him. Helped him to care again. To love. Enough that he was willing to face damnation to take away her pain. This movie lives in some very deep chambers of the heart. It's one of the best films i've ever seen.

    "It wasn't fault. I was wrong to say that."
    "You damn right. I found you a fighter. You made her the best fighter she could be."
    "I killed her."
    "Don't say that. Maggie walked through that door with nothing buts guts. No chance in the world of being what she needed to be. It was because of you that she was fighting the championship of the world. You did that. People die everyday, Frankie - mopping floors, washing dishes and you know what their last thought is? I never got my shot. Because of you Maggie got her shot. If she dies today you know what her last thought would be? I think I did all right."
    Fun Fact: Boxing and kickboxing champion Lucia Rijker, who also played the part of Billie "The Blue Bear" in this movie, was Hilary Swank's boxing coach.
    Basic Training Fact: Hilary Swank underwent a serious training schedule to prepare for this movie. She gained nearly twenty pounds of muscle due to the workouts.
    Music Enthusiast Fact: The song played on the bagpipes at the beginning of the final fight is The Rising Of The Moon (1866) and is an Irish rally song about the underdog Irish Army as they rebelled against the British in 1798.
    Authentic Battle Damage Fact: Hilary Swank contracted a bacterial infection from a blister she developed on her foot during training for her role. The infection was so serious that she almost had to be hospitalized for three weeks. Catching the infection in the nick of time, she instead chose to take a week off for medicated rest and didn't tell Clint Eastwood or the other producers of this movie about the injury, because she didn't believe it was in character.

    It said she’s from Theodosia, Missouri. I actually grew up near Theodosia, Missouri. I, too, felt like trash. Parent’s credit so bad they started using us kids’ social security numbers cuz they couldn’t even have a light bill in their name. Electricity always shut off. Surrounded by a lot of other people living the same way. Trailers with moldy carpet and uneven floors, with the neighbor cookin meth. Just sad. Some of these small towns, man. They’re just full of tragic tales and people who almost never had a prayer from the very beginning. And that shit just becomes generational. I’m not just talking about folks living paycheck to paycheck or having struggles. That’s normal. I’m talking about parents who are a mess and take it out on their kids. Be good to your kids, folks. They’re gonna remember every time they had to suffer because of your bad choices. Just sayin.

    This is my first time watching this film and reacting to it as well, and all I can say is 😢. Every perspective of this film except the boxing brought up the level of toxic environment that I grew up in my family. My brother passed away 3 years ago and he was a Navy Veteran. He endured similar circumstances and the hospital scenes were extremely difficult to watch. My father is just like the mother, greedy and abusive. Sadly there are some people you can and cannot trust even in your family. Thank you so much again for your genuine reaction 🫶🏼

    To be honest with you I was so furious with this movie when I first saw it because it seemed deliberately designed to break my heart and it felt sadistic, but having experienced some devastating personal tragedies since then I've come to realize the very intimate truth the story tells. And as far as the film itself goes, Hilary Swank gives an Oscar winning performance and I've adored her ever since her Oscar winning performance in my friend Kimberly Peirce's film BOYS DON'T CRY.

I think my favorite movies of hers is, Freedom Writers, based on a true story.

It is a powerful movie and the best work Sean Penn, Tim Robbins and Kevin Bacon have ever done. I cried watching this with you and I thank you for that. I haven’t cried since my mom died. Your sweet and human reaction to this movie is exactly what I needed so thank you. I had a very long and good cry and I feel like a weight has been lifted from me. I apologize for going on for so long. I just wanted you to understand that your humanity and humor helps a lot of us out here. Now, please do a horror movie or a comedy next! Lol I recommend The Gentlemen. It has a stacked cast and is full of action and comedy. Thank you!

Love the reaction. This is the thing some of us love about movies, it’s a reminder of how fragile life can really be and to always live life to its fullest. You’re a good dude, take care of yourself.

    Ohh honey! I'm so glad you picked one of the movies off that freaking tremendous list I'd sent you. I know you're going to enjoy this as much as i did. I've watched it multiple times due to the basic boxing history and mine. Just so you are aware~her opponent whose ring moniker is "The Blue Bear". THAT IS who trained her for this role AND over her career she has held many boxing belts. She is now retired for several years. SHE IS a true legend among the women's boxing circle. SHE IS one of the women in the boxing world that I always did and do to this day look up to. After watching this, look her up and check out her record.

    You know, when I watch other reaction channels I feel like I'm just watching somebody else watch a movie, when I watch you I feel like I'm watching a movie with you.... Weird I know but as a single dude it's kinda nice...
