A24 blocked this video worldwide and copyright claimed it (which is dumb because I'm only giving them promo) so that's why I had to trim about a minute out at 5:58. sorry about that guys. btw, it's still copyright claimed even though I trimmed that part out
I like your name bertie :)
It’s ok, the video is still great 👍
I love A24, but they took a huge L
A24 is a good company. Next time to email them first! they might give you written permission or you could have save yourself from a strike!
I think that the pizza guy wasn’t disgusted by him but felt bad that he was helping this man kill himself with his addiction. He knew that Charlie wasn’t doing well, and seeing his appearance confirmed that, and his pizza delivery job was actively helping him kill himself
you're so right😭
i think that’s actually a really amazing analysis
In Buddhism, it is recommended that a person does not engage in any job where you are paid to reward addiction (so, you wouldn't work in industries like alcohol, gambling, recreational drugs, sex work, or unhealthy food). I find it quite sad that a lot of our world is focused around these 'guilty pleasures' - they feel like a sticky web that it can be very hard to escape from. Please know, I'm not judging people who work in these industries - shaming people is pointless and only furthers the cycle of addiction.
Yeah, tbh i would've felt the same if I were in that pizza man shoes, knowing that you're contributing a man's addiction- but there really isn't anything you can do about other than to just encourage them to get help
That’s how I felt as well
This film really touched me, bc of my personal experience with my own father. He died right after my 14 birthday, due to being morbidly obese, the last time I saw him is when I was leaving to go back to my mom's house, my dad was laying in his bed, skin pale as snow, purple eye bags, screaming in pain everytime he had too move anywhere. He was such a kind and generous man, and I miss him more than anyone could ever imagine. Nobody ever realizes how much pain people with morbid obesity go through.
It’s ok.
We’re here for you. ❤️
Me too, I kept crying throughout the entirety of the movie. My dad doesn't have binge eating disorder but he has a chronic illness that has made him obese. He's been sick my entire 20 years of life. We're blessed he's still alive and kicking at 55 but we're anxiety ridden because he's a ticking time bomb. It really hit home for me. It beautifully captures the pain and hopelessness that I have seen in my dad. I can really see him in Brendan's role because he's always trying to be positive and is always seeing the best of us despite what we've done. He also desperately wants to connect with me and my siblings. Sadie Sink's role reflects my older sister and brother and somewhat me. So this has shaken me up in a good way to be kinder to my dad.
I dont have any of that experiences but i feel really bad for people like you with. It seems like a HORRIBLE experience.
Somebody that was my fathers friend had a wife, she became so obese that she got an infection and couldn’t even poop, the poop was going into her blood it sounded disgusting. Wild dude…
@@constellation3164 i am not trying to be rude, and obviously idk your or your father's situation outside of your comment, but there are very few diseases that can actually cause weight gain without caloric intake being the reason. i'm sure if you can improve your relationship with your dad, it might encourage him to make better choices with food since it sounds like he may be using it as a coping mechanism for his pain. good luck to him and you.
as someone who doesn’t get very emotional over movies or tv shows, this movie absolutely broke me. it gave me everything i could handle and it brought me into a sad mood the next day as well
Saw it a month ago and I have been hitting the gym everyday since I saw this movie. It didn't make me sad, it gave me strength and motivation to change my life around.
Exactly. I get watery eyes, and even shed a tear or two over good movies... but holy shit, I started running out of tears by the end of the movie. It was so heartbreaking
Another Leaving Las Vegas and 3mm. Except it is more human and realistic, yet as disturbing.
@@R_Aceves biggest fucking w I've seen all week
I'm usually easily moved tbh, but it's like a couple of tissues dabbing my eyes kind of moved.
This one was over a box and a half of tissues, the rest of that box was finished afterwards when I could let myself fully sob without missing anything. I could've paused, sure, but I was afraid I wouldn't unpause and I needed to see it through. I don't think I've experienced any piece if any form of art quite like that.
The saddest part of This movie is that you realize that this is reality
Unfortunately yes, for many people.
Yes Nikocado is eating himself to death, they say this movie is fictional but the thing they are wrong about is this is reality that is happening now.
Yup. I think people who’ve dealt with addiction or had someone in their life who has will really feel how real the movie was. The pain of knowing you can’t save someone who doesn’t want to be saved. Or seeing someone give up to their addiction. Heart-wrenching.
Indeed
This movie is so sad, seeing Brendan Fraser sad even has a fictional character it’s super sad
I love how Fraser has bounced back, he lost the weight, his career is going to probably jumpstart again, and he won an oscar for best actor. He deserves this streak of good luck, he was the one of the best actor in Hollywood during the 1990s and early 2000s. I think he'll be one of the best in the 2020s.
@@thirdanimator3347 Agreed. I saw someone call this the Brenaissance and I think that he'll live up to that and then some. He's an absolute gem and I'm so very glad he's back.
What I find so poetic and yet tragic is that Charlie even though he was dying he saw the good in others and gave them a chance. Except for himself, Charlie didn't gave himself the chance to get better to be better for his Alan and most of all for his daughter.
One of the things that came into my mind was the quote that Kratos told Atraeus and vice versa: "Do not be sorry be better." To that I see that trying to improve yourself is not just a way to show that you are sorry but you are there to improve for the well being of yourself and others.
I agree, the bits where instead of meeting his daughter's rage with any of his own, he loved her, he gave her the benefit of the doubt. I think that if I treated my parents like that I would feel extremely awful, and seeing how he was okay with it because she was at least there for him broke my heart. He really wanted the best for her because he believed in her even after all she said and did to him.
I needed to see this today. I'm having a horrible week, I'm so stressed out, and I just got a burger, onion rings, and a shake for lunch to make myself feel better. I'm, uh, NOT going to finish it now.
you're very much allowed to treat yourself every once in a while, just be careful
@ria true, but I recognized this as unhealthy coping and this video just sort of called me out for it! I still ate SOME, just not all.
@@angieemm i see what you mean, i know what it's like. i hope you enjoyed your food :)
@@angieemm i feel u keep fighting 💪🏽😔
@@tuxedo_ri thank you!
One of my favorite things about the end of this movie is how open to interpretation it is. It invokes conversation and thinking rather than just giving us all the answers. It gives us what is important without spoon-feeding what is obvious.
Did Charlie actually get up off the couch? Did he die when Ellie opened the door? Is the whole scene just symbolism? Is it meant to be positive? Is it a religious nod? I absolutely loved it. Like you said, it's depressing, but in a way that is intriguing, and thought provoking. Such an excellent movie.
This movie can easily be turned into a horror movie. Guess what? Charlie actually died before the movie started. His autopsy shows that the guy died a day before all the other characters saw him and talked to him. And the pizza that was delivered couldn't be found anywhere. And they found traces of it in his stomach.
I mean, that pretty much sums up any movie that isn’t directed by an idiot. All of the movies that deserve to be on a top 1000 list are successful in that area. This is overall a mediocre movie with a great performance by Fraser.
He fell over and killed his daughter
@@user-ov1ep5rf2l XD
saw it with my friends and had to try not to cry in front of the boys, powerful movie
Friend, it's okay to cry. Even in front of your boys.
If your boys make you feel bad or silly for crying, they're not your boys
don't cry in front of the homies. (cry with the homies)
if your boys make fun of you for crying in front of them, it's time to get new boys. homies help homies.
This movie destroyed me like no movie has in a long time. Like I wasn’t just tearing up but straight up crying. Beautiful, heartbreaking, devastating, yet hopeful story of redemption led brilliantly by Fraser. The rest of cast is stellar, especially Hong Chau and Sadie Sink. They all elevate one another. This movie was incredible.
Check out Lilja 4-Ever. Saddest movie of all time
when i watched the ending, i had my own interpretation of it.
ellie never read the essay, and instead, left him to die. the scene of him walking was a vision he wanted to have. to be able to stand face to face with his daughter, going back to the moments where he could feel his feet against the ocean. ellie never saw him as a good father, not even after he was gone. that was the last he saw of ellie, and he ended up dying on that couch alone.
that's tragic
…
that did hurt me, omg-
As someone dealing with bulimia and binge eating since I was fourteen the addiction towards food was so well portrayed in this film,almost better than any other portrayal of an eating disorder I’ve seen on screen.
The sheer loss of control and anxiety you feel while stuffing your mouth with food until you feel numb and literally sick is something I’ve dealt with more times than i’d like to admit but I never thought that a piece of media could do such a perfect job at portraying just what it feels like to deal with a food addiction
That’s why I genuinely find it so revolting that some people have been saying this movie is fatphobic. i’m an eighteen year old female still in high school at a completely normal weight yet it’s astounding how much of myself I see in Charlie it may sound kind of weird I know but that just goes to show how much of a /person/ his character is rather than just a dehumanized caricature of a fat person
Also I don’t cry with movies
Specially if I’m watching it with someone else but as soon as the credits rolled I had to run to the bathroom to cry…that’s how close to home it hit me
good luck with your disorder. i have addictions and can relate to the feeling of going numb and feeling worthless at the same time. i can only imagine it is more difficult when your addiction is food and food is everywhere and necessary to eat. good luck again.
i think what broke me more is when he constantly apologises for everything
I was an ugly-sobbing mess at the end. It's such a beautifully depressing movie, and I haven't been affected by one in so long.
I'm so so so happy Brendan Fraser won the Oscar.
Ok
Seeing things like morbidly obese people killing themselves with their disorder absolutely gets to me. I cried watching this, I don't cry often. My dad is morbidly obese and my relationship with him hasn't been so good recently and it breaks me thinking he could die from this, he already has so much trouble walking and I can't imagine how depressing that would be. Mam told me he said he's very depressed but he hasn't told me that and it's so sad knowing he's keeping it from me to try to protect me. I wish he could walk with me like he used to, though he was always a slow walker cause he's been overweight all my life. God please save my dad
God cant do all the work, you need to save your dad.
@@sigsauer_firearms no, his dad needs to save himself
This movie fucked me up. I've used food all my life as a coping mechanism. Since I was SA'd at 4 to my dad dying at 6. I finally got my wieght under control in the 8th grade with football and therapy. And then I hit a bad depresive epsiode and it all went to shit. I stopped playing football, i ate and ate and ate. When I saw the movie I had given up, I was already suicidel and figured it was a matter of time. But this movie reminded me of the people I care about and care about me. I've started waking and eating better and have already lost 20 pounds. This is the first movie I can say actually saved my life.
Great video, this movie is absolutely devastating but somehow hopeful.
One small correction: Charlie’s boyfriend wasn’t killed by the church, he committed suicide by jumping off a bridge, Liz says at one point that she was the one who had to identify his body
I can’t tell if that’s more or less distressing
Maybe it’s just equally terrible either way
I believe they say he was killed by the church is because he was once part of the church bc his dad was the leader and basically forced them into going to the church.. alan then went to do missionary work and told liz he didn’t want to come back bc his dad would force him into marrying a women from the church… liz says that alan fell in love (when he fell in love with charlie) and his dad kicked him out the church (for being gay) alan must have get some kid of guild or sickness for being gay bc of how he was raised.. in alan’s bible the verse about living in the flesh and denying the spirit was highlighted meaning that alan resonated a lot with that verse bc alan felt as if he was living in the flesh and making him feel guilty(also it is why he starved himself bc he thought he was depriving or purging himself from the guilt for being gay. I believe he killed himself bc he felt couldn’t do it anymore.. and charlie telling him that he didn’t need god didn’t help at all..
@@moni-tt4ro Absolutely. The church was the reason why he died because it's what caused all of that pain.
Unrelated but I love your pfp…

@@Anonymous_Identity246 🤘
Maybe I'm just a wuss lol but seeing these clips alone made me cry like a baby, the raw emotion and storyline seems fantastic and I will for sure need to give this a watch p
no dude i think it just goes to show how powerful the movie is. definitely watch it if you have the opportunity, it’s honestly amazing
I'm a super sensitive person and I spent an extra 20+ minutes sobbing afterwards without a single regret. Honestly one of the best cries I've ever had, I needed it after a rough 2022. Just have boxes of tissues. Yes multiple.
if you haven’t already, you should watch everything everywhere all at once. it’s another a24 film and it won best picture at this years oscars. it’s a beautiful film that was honestly life changing for me
That movie is definitely on my list to see..
Wow I've never heard of this in my life i mean honestly it's not like I've been recommended this 5 billion times
sorry ik but really getting tired of hearing this
@@DOG_EATER_1887ur gonna hear abt it more by commenting 🤨🤷♀️
I didn't know about the movie before this comment and now I wanna watch it 🧐
It’s amazing, definitely go into the movie blind. Don’t see the trailers or anything. I saw it with no knowledge and saw it with some friends and man…it was the best time I had with my friends, so broken, beautiful and the fight scenes and message are so well done. Very glad it won an Oscar in the end
I'm chubby. My mom is overweight. Most of my mom's family is pretty heavy. So just a review... Just a review hits hard. I feel like crying. My arms feel so, so bad. It's heartbreaking, and I feel terrible for people who are suffering the same thing as I am or worse. Much, much, worse.
Damn
The only reason people get fat is because they put something in their mouth that didn’t belong there
@@Graymenn youre basically saying food doesnt belong in the mouth of a human. are we all supposed to starve or what?
@@Graymenn btw, there are a lot more factors that make people get overweight/obese/chubby besides just eating. (illnesses, etc.)
@@bloodygvtzz it is physically impossible to get fat without a caloric surplus..... simply put... eat less.... I am hardly saying you should starve....
The only reason an illness might make you fat is because you are not burning as many calories and you are presumably eating the same, or often more calories...
It is a simple math equation... it isnt exactly the same for everyone but everyone who is fat had more input into their math equation.
Please don't try to insert emotions into this. It is science. I realize a lot of people are sensitive about their weight, but they will never change that unless they accept reality.
I cried watching this review/video essay. I don't think i can actually watch the full movie from the summary you provided
Do it.
same here
Watching this film was so real. It made me ugly cry at the end because it felt too personal to me. The real pain of watching someone you love slowly die, is so gut wrenching. I have a family member who is currently around 500 pounds. I’m his closest family member, as no one else will really talk to him, as the pain of seeing him do this to himself is too much. He’s always been larger since I was a kid, but he’s currently at his absolute heaviest and in poor health. We’ve tried absolutely everything and begged him to get help and help him lose the weight. But he’s okay with just “letting it happen now.” He’s constantly asking me to buy him fast food or get him sweets, since he is now too big to fit in his car and it breaks me. I have to tell him no. And I know I shouldn’t feel bad about it, yet I do. Because I love him. But I can’t bring myself to contribute to this. Watching this movie was so hard for me because it felt like I was watching him. It felt so surreal and painful. The ending cut so deep because I think about that possibility almost nightly, that he could go at any time. As hard as it was, I appreciate the beauty of how raw this movie is. It’s one of the few movies that has deeply affected me.
I have NEVER cried so hard and so much over a movie. Not even 30 minutes into the movie, I had cried about 3-4 different times. I went into it expecting the best, and I got the best. Something that made me tear up that you didn't mention in the video, is that while Charlie was showing himself to the class, half the kids are laughing/smiling at him, and one even pulled out a phone. I felt so fucking sad and angry. This whole movie was a mindfuck for me, and I applaud Fraser for his amazing role. I'm so happy he won best actor.
Oh my god, I thought it was just me! I cried so much into this movie. Not even in the middle of it. I cried a little in the beginning, middle, and end. I didn't think a movie could make me cry SO MUCH!
Although I don't know anyone who is morbidly obese nor am I obese myself, I just related a lot to the self-loathing he felt, the optimism and love for others he has that he can't give himself, the beauty he sees in the world that he thinks he doesn't deserve.. It's so heartbreaking and infuriating that there are people who think of him as disgusting like his own daughter, and don't understand him/try to change him like Thomas.
I mean hell, even after Thomas finally admits he thinks he is disgusting for being obese and gay, he still wishes Thomas to have a happy life and go back to his family. Even after his daughter telling him she doesn't care if she dies NOW, he still loves her, so, so much. And yet despite all that he thinks he deserves to be punched down on because he made mistakes in the past.
Movie was indeed depressing. But also beautiful, powerful, and perfectly executed. Everything about this movie was perfect. Brendan Frazier definitely deserved the best actor win.
I got depressed when I lost someone I love I too, i too started just eating a lot, spending all my savings on food, it was during the pandemic too so there was nothing better to do I had lost so much even my job and through it all I still went on a binge, I too stayed in doors… i never became overweight yet I still see so much of what I went through in this character and I am just beginning to connect the dots and realize I ate so much to cope with not having that person to spend time with since we used to always go out dining every chance we got… it’s sad when you lose someone it’s like a part of you missing and we do anything to feel like they’re with us
I’m really sorry to hear all of that, are you doing better now?
@@Anonymous_Identity246 much better thx 4 asking… some could argue I’m doing better, in regards to my employment I’m getting paid more than I ever had, I have a great group of friends, great equipment for my hobbies, I’m not completely where I was before the pandemic but I’m better than my lowest and like I said it can be argued that I made it through stronger
@@almightyswizz well that’s great to hear ☺️
I had a friend who sadly ended up succumbing to his addictions (cancer induced by alcohol abuse). I had begged him to stop, I tried everything I could; "Just one meal without a drink?" (got the silent treatment for that one, from him and his enabler).
"Why do you do this?" He said: "I know the consequences. I don't want to live my life in a cage of rules about what makes me good or bad." When he received his terminal diagnosis, he was stone cold sober for his last 3 weeks on this earth (he didn't last long; his chemo papers came through the day he died). He wrote his own eulogy and spent a lot of time staring at the wall...it was hard to watch and be with him in his pain. I loved him a lot and I miss him every day. I wish he was still here, but maybe that's selfish of me. Maybe I only loved him because I needed him somehow...this film made me think about this a lot. I hope I wasn't selfish in wanting him to stay. I can't really think of the right response to the "don't put me in a cage" argument. I wasn't trying to force him to stop, but I didn't want him to die young...He was a brilliant guy. It was like watching an ever encroaching, slow, painful suicide. I don't think that pain will ever go away until I can solve that argument in my head.
nah it’s totally not selfish at all to miss someone. i’ve heard that you don’t ever rlly get over the death of someone, you just learn to live with it, just like any trauma. i don’t think that there rlly is an answer for the cage thing, it’s just something unfortunate for everyone. it not your fault either, because you literally can’t do anything to help if the person doesn’t want help. and you probably feel guilty bc you couldn’t do anything abt it too. but what you are feeling is very much normal and expected, but i am sorry that you have to feel it anyway. i haven’t lost someone before, all i know is that it isn’t easy. i would recommend looking into a therapist if you can afford it. if not, there are many online free resources that can help educate and give advice on how to handle it. i personally recommend journaling to everyone too, as there are just too many benefits to count. i hope you can work through this.
First time I’ve cried in the cinema in so long. Whenever there was a slightly light moment or Charlie was happy something bad happened. Definitely the saddest film I’ve ever seen.
spoilers ahead obviously lol. the movie is available on RUclips, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Redbox and Vudu.
Guess what I feel depressed do you have any advice to get yourself out of a dark place?
Also shibby shibby Shoo shaw.
@@Weird_al_lover_62 solution, go outside, look at animals, look for crows, befriend them for long enough that they talk back to you, tell them to say "I'm gay" and feed them unsalted peanuts when they say that to other people, after that, watch the fun unravel (note: this isn't a good solution and is just a temporary one but its still funny)
@@nofatherfigure69420 okay I'll update you.
@bertie Not Beautifully Depressing, but Violently Sad.
Honestly, this film brought tears to me in ways no media ever has or will. The truth of it all is that this is surprisingly realistic. Most sad movies choose outlandish topics that couldn’t happen or aren’t common occurrences. Obesity isn’t rare, and deadly obesity isn’t either. Seeing Charlie lose himself was hard to watch, and yet, I couldn’t get enough of the film. I’m so glad he won the Oscar
The Whale was the best movie I’ve seen in a long time. But man, at the end I was bawling like a baby. It’s been a very long time since a movie made me cry.
Brendan’s performance was well deserving of best actor. So glad he did this movie, and I hope this brings a resurgence in his career.
Damn I haven't even watched the movie but just hearing you explain the ending of it made me emotional. Plus knowing all that Brendan Fraser's been through and that he won the Oscar for it. Yep, I'm crying.
Look,
Most videos don't make me angry, or emotional, scared, whatever. But this, this seriously almost made me cry. It made me feel sick to my stomach, it made my eyes feel heavy, it made my body just tremble, I probably won't even be able to sleep tonight. I myself would break down just attempting to watch it, so I won't. I actually had to skip the majority of when he read the essay due to me not even being able to watch the film as he spoke. Truly a powerful & touching movie.
The binge eating scene hit me the hardest
Usually never get emotional before movies, but this one got me in tears. Beautifully sad, loved everything about Brendan Fraser’s performance, depressing, yet magnificent.
Charlie wasn’t necessarily okay with dying, but he was learning to accept that it was his fate
5:30 Just hearing you talk about Ellie and Charlie's last interaction brought tears to my eyes, and connecting it to how he would recite it or ask for it to be read when he thought he was dying, that's the final blow :(
I dont often get emotional because of movies, but just these clips made me hurt. This movie made me think about my father who too has health problems, I love my father with all my heart. This movie is truly amazing.
i loved this movie. something that was said stuck with me and it's so simple too. "people are amazing."
this movie obliterated me emotionally, i wasnt crying but sobbing at the end. i knew i wasnt ready for it but i still watched it and i cried the hardest i ever have at a movie lol
I’m glad you talked about this movie tuv, you should do more videos like this about movies with serious topics
Wtf burnie, your voice it’s just so good, I almost never cry to video or movies or anything but hearing your voice describe this movie and watching the clips and thinking that, that could be my life if I don’t change, it made me cry, this video is now 1 of 3 things on the internet that have made me cry, thanks Bernie/tuv, I needed this
i haven’t watched it but my boyfriend was telling me about it a couple of days and showed me a video about it on tiktok and it sounded interesting but also really sad! now that you’ve made a video about im definitely gonna give it a watch! :)
it was such a beautiful film. It really hit me close to home, and made me tear up. I can’t even remember the last time i cried to a movie
Holy shit. I'm going, to be honest, I haven't cried in months. I won't explain why, but it has been months since I have shed a tear. Just watching the clips from this movie was enough to push me to the edge of crying. My dad is obese and has multiple health issues and those clips hit HARD for me.
Hahahahaha YOU CRIED OVER A MOVIE AS A GUY HAHAHAHA wtf is wrong with you. Ur not a girl wtf
I had a bunch of emotions built up from last year that the movie got out of me, it's honestly one of the best cries of my life. And it's because of how personal it is to me.
I was raised by my grandparents, both of whom have been obese my entire life and are somehow over 75 now. My grandmother spent half of last year relearning how to walk after a bone infection and there were several times where things got worse and I thought she was going. I was literally spoon feeding her at one point because she didn't have an appetite and she was wasting away.
She's okay now, less mobile and her memory is less there after all that stress (physical and mental) but alright enough to handle herself (my brother and I check in often, of course). I know I can't have her forever but I am not ready to lose her. I know we never are but I really don't know how I'd get through it.
tldr; when you're ready to get that cry out, it's so worth it. take care of yourself 💕
@@steezgawdextraswa6906 ??
I watched the movie a few days ago, and saying it made me cry is an understatement. I cried a few times during the movie, but I completely broke down into tears at the end. It was so raw and grounded that you could easily forget they were just characters in a movie. The whale is definitely one of the best movies I've seen in a long time
I don't even think the pizza guy was curious as to what Charlie looked like, I think it was just that the rain was so strong he took some extra time to leave, and when Charlie opened the door he turned to face it, making for a big reveal.
Yes, you could say he was trying to piece together some information, with him asking if Charlie was okay or needed some help. But also, on that one delivery we can see that by the time Charlie goes out for the pizza, the delivery guy was already leaving on the car.
I just feel like it was the perfect storm, because after that, well...
This movie is a masterpiece, after watching it I was just wander around in my city for a good hour, I was just thinking about that movie over and over again, but also about my life/diet/my loved one. This movie is really something I love it so much
it made me feel so sad I cried again watching this video, such a beautiful yet depressing movie...
i loveee a24 films.. i also have a very low attention span but somehow i'm able to sit through all of that build up just to see the beautiful payoff. everything everything all at once was amazing, i think you should watch that next ;-)
Not planning on warching it. What you showed of the end of the movie got my crying......Im way less fat that he is but i can fucking relate for the earing your emotions..........
I had a friend who was obese 300 lbs. other health issues but there were scenes in this movie that were just so real for me!! Sadly he passed away so this movie was a hard watch
It was a beautiful film. One of the best I had seen all year. It was very deserving of all the nominations and wins it recieved.
And I never want to see it again.
This is the most realistic depiction of an eating disorder I have seen on television. I don't suffer from BED (Binge eating disorder) but I do suffer from anorexia and I see so much of myself in Charlie. The shame when you eat but not being able to stop. Not wanting anyone to see your body because you feel disgusting, and driving away the ones you love because they are literally watching you die.
As someone with a binge eating disorder, this hit hard
i literally watched this yesterday and it is probably the most depressing movie I have ever seen.
Thank you for introducing me to this movie. I sobbed when I got to the last 30 minutes. I havent cried this much to a movie in a while. 😢
Even just watching this mini documentary made me bawl. Usually no videos or documentaries do this to me. 🐀 Definitely gonna watch this movie later
This movie fucking broke me down bc of my personal experience with my uncle struggling with his weight and I don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t want to think about him and his health not cause I’m ashamed but because I don’t know how much longer I have with him and I don’t know what to do. It’s so scary and frustrating cause I only want the best for him.
Brendan Fraser Deserves all the praise he gets, He genuinely is one of the best actors there is.
I'm one of those people that cry at almost every single movie they watch but It's always just a little tear or two. With this movie, OH THIS MOVIE, had me crying my eyes out. I haven't cried this hard watching a movie for a long time, it totally broke me.
I don't have any problems with obesity nor does my family, but I could feel Charlie's pain and felt so bad for him. One topic I did relate to was Ellie hating her father bc he left his family while she was a child, don't get me wrong, she's my least favorite out of the characters but I can definitely understand how she feels although I wouldn't have ever done what she does on the film obviously lol but the pain in her eyes and her cry for her father at the end was truly something. I loved this movie and Brendan deserves that Oscar, I'm glad he's back
Tuv watching that whole video almost made me want to cry so much i cant imagine myself being in that state that charlies in the obesity taking you over obsessions with food and all other things that makes me almost depressed ive never wanted to be depressed because of what happened to the covid days but i almost became depressed when seeing this whole video the movie is a piece of gold thats been sent by the gods to let us all know to pls be happy and be strong dont go fat go strong because suicide isnt the answer only life is the answer and that life is gods wish
Yo i literally cried while you where explaining the end(this was amazing)
I needed this today
There is so little films that has taught me something, and this one is like a turning point in my life, I'm not exaggerating. Minutes after watching it I found out how I'm pushing people away from me, something I would swear I never do.
I'm freaking sobbing and I didn't even see the whole movie, the way you described it was enough to send me to tears😭 I'm supposed to wake up early tomorrow and I'm laying here trying to stifle my sobs with my blanket ☠️ great video I'll be definitely watching this movie
amazing movie,, the last few min are just so strong, i have no idea why they did not nominate this masterpiece for best picture.
Bro this movie made me cry so hard my parents had to give me like twenty hugs so I could feel better and it also made me realize to appreciate what I have since others don't have much and suffer alot. I really loved this movie .
I don't think I've seen 100% of the movie, but I think I've seen most of it. I was watching it while having dinner with my family, and I forgot the movie existed before I saw it. When he died, I didn't cry, but I think I felt like I was gonna cry, but not a single tear was shed. I truly thought the movie was beautiful and the ending was sad because Charlie died. I think Brendan Fraser and all the other ones that were in the movie did extremely well. I think The Whale is one of the best movies/films ever made.
this was such a hard watch. Just watching Charlie basically slowly k*ll himself in front of you is so depressing, and the connection you make with his character makes it so much harder.
Great stuff man, thanks for the recommendation
Was genuinely surprised how much of myself I saw in this film. I went in simply because I had been a fan of Darren Aronofsky’s past films and because I knew this was Brendan Fraser’s big comeback. I went in simply expecting to either like it or hate it but I really loved it. Sitting back to reflect on it I see more and more how realistic this actually is which is why it’s so depressing that at times you want to laugh. Not because it’s funny but because there are moments when you’re suffering and you do something “cringey” to express that pain. It’s a surreal moment where you realize how bad it’s gotten that you sometimes just laugh at yourself. I probably didn’t explain it too well but I saw those moments on screen and my god I’m glad Aronofksy didn’t hold back. Truly a gem of a film
I literally cried watching this video thank u tuv for making this awesome content that brings raw emotions to life ❤️
i adore this movie and brendan fraser, i feel for people intensely though and could not stop crying the entirety of the movie
i watched this movie with my mom and i think everyone should read this comment bc of how it affected her. my mom grew up without a dad, her dad was gay ( like charlie) and left my mom ,uncle, and grandma for him ( and also because he was dying). like charlie, my moms dads bf died for some of the same reasons. now with my grandma she was severely obese ( like charlie) and had some of the same problems. she described it as if both her mom and dad were the same person. both of my grandparents died but i also never got to meet my moms dad bc he died when my mom was 16. my grandmother kinda reminds me if charlie, from how kind and generous he was. at the end when charlie is dying and complementing ellie saying she’s perfect, my mom broke out into tears. she explained it’s like her dad coming back and telling her that she’s perfect. her dad never really complemented her that much and wasn’t her first choice so she felt like this movie was showing her how her dad really felt about her. this movie was so important and heartfelt to us.
just watched it. So sad yet amazingly done
Words honestly don’t describe this movie. It’s the hardest experience I’ve had watching a movie. I’m 17 years old and I admit I eat a little too much sometimes but make sure to balance it out. Seeing this movie broke me, people like Charlie are real. They’re are people like him out there who are doing this to themselves and die. It’s a harsh reality but the truth. I saw it with my family and absolutely let everything out at the end. I cried so hard and it was well deserved. This isn’t a movie. It’s a harsh, depressing, and sad masterpiece
Oo woah, I felt emotional just hearing you talking about it, I’ll definitely check this movie out
A Video Essay!? Let’s go
Love all the vids tuv keep grinding !
I loved this movie but it was basically a 2 hour emotional punishment. I cried all the way through pretty much.
i came into this video knowing absolutely nothing about this movie. I had no idea it was about an obese man who was slowly killing himself with his addiction. this movie hurt me on a personal level and it literally has me shaking. My dad is morbidly obese and everytime I go and see him I watch him basically killing himself. I'm so scared he's going to die. I've been looking at other videos about this movie and everyone in the comment section is praising the acting, which don't get me wrong it's amazing, but I see no one else who actually related to this on a personal level. I don't know what do do, my dad is going to die and I feel so alone.
He is in excruciating pain all of the time. People don't realize that people who struggle with obesity are in constant pain. His muscles can hardly hold him up anymore. I just want to see him enjoying his life again, that's all i want
I'm sorry I didn't mean to comment something so sad I just don't know where else to put this
I cried, good movie. Period.
Same.
you honestly earned a subscriber on this account, ilysm tuv
Watching this video made me cry and I don’t cry during movies and you only showed us like 5 minutes if the 2 hours I can’t imagine how much I will cry
I have not watched this movie yet I am too scared to know it's gonna hurt to watch and I feel depressed for so long after, but I can tell it is so good and I really want to watch it... Maybe one day when I am in better head space.
Well done on the overview, you did a great job. For me, it wasnt depressing it was uplifting and liberating. IMO the side story is about Charlie or his condition. The main story is about his relationships. The message: 1. We are the ones who love us, 2. Life is fleeting. 3 Truth and honesty matter. 4. Our children are our future, our immortality. 5. People are incapable of not caring (though some try really hard). 6. We are all going where Charlie goes. The last words in the essay don't need to be said, she looks at her dad, and she smiles.
The Whale seems a bit like a reboot of Whale Music in 1994, I'm not sure if it actually is but its very similar, except Desmond is a singer/song writer rather than an English professor, both movies are utterly beautiful and have a great ideology behind them.
I’m not sure if they’re connected, but the movie was adapted from a play of the same name by Samuel D. Hunter.
@@ghoularty2030 Oh good to know :)
"The whale is beautifully depressing" True.
This movie made me cry since never thought about having a loved one pass away and other things about that topic but I just can't even describe but W vid
My father has been morbidly obese nearly my whole life (he has always been very distant even before the divorce) but this movie gives me this terrible gut feeling and it makes me feel ill
My father recently was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, so eek idk if i could watch this movie with anyone else. Id have to watch this alone and cry
Anyway this movie sounds good i like movies about uncomfortable topics and this hits close
i just saw this and i have a mixture of emotions like sympathy confusion and sadness
Dude after watch the movie it made me want to cherish every moment I spent with my dad cause I never know when he might go.
dang, this essay was enough to make me cry
what a fantastic video, thank you
Haven’t seen the movie, but Tuv’s recant of Charlie’s daughter’s essay made me cry
Here is how close im to breaking into tears: 😪😮💨😵
I cried just by watching this short video. I have to watch this soon
Just got done watching this movie last night this was the most depressing and frustrating and yet beautiful movie I’ve seen in awhile. darren aronofsky really put his stamp on this film and showed you why he’s a great director from the score and acting in this film is just amazing. and Brandon Fraser puts on a performance of a life time this movie deserves the hype and even more.
tuv you should watch everything everywhere all at once, its such a great movie
