This movie and the Hank Palmer character is definitely a reflection of himself during his pre-Iron Man personal struggles. Whether he intended it to be that way or not.
Since his performance as Tony he is close to mine. It was like not seeing a performance but an actual person. The MCU is done for me 😢 I’ll probably still watch but it won’t be the same even with Strange, Hulk and Thor
The scene that got me the most was at the end as the judge said to his youngest son "Take care of your brothers". Definitely not the most epic or important moment but it just seemed so natural and well placed. It showed that the judge had emotions and could finally show them.
I grew up resenting my father. He was tough on me growing up, sometimes, maybe tougher then he had to be. As I’ve grown up I’ve realized he probably saved my life. This movie touched me.
there is something called tough discipline and trough abuse... kids nowadays dont care about the difference as long as they get an easy going... mine was the 1st and yes didnt like at the time... im hell loving my life now :D dont know what i would have done without this education
@@jakets9791 And there's the shithead fathers that fck off to another country, fck another woman, and leave you. Fathers are arseholes plain and simple
+RobsoN Balled like a baby, all by myself at home. Got so bad I had to call my Mom to calm me down. Great movie, great acting and hits so close to home. Bigger impact then I thought.
2:04 i love this because the whole place is so quiet even the judge is letting them have their moment as father and son and not as lawyer and accused ( if thats what u would call him?)
"I have memories. Of us. Then I don't. How come?" That quote remind my relationship with my mother. A picture of us, holding me when I was a baby, and now even we don't talk each other.
If she's still alive.... swallow ALL the pride you have, forget everything that divided you and go see her TODAY. Don't wait. Hug her and tell her you love her. WHILE you still can ! You'll both feel MUCH better. If not, when she passes, you'll be mad at yourself the rest of your life.
UNBELIEVABLE ACTING - ROBERT DUVALL, THIS LATE IN HIS CAREER, IS STILL DELIVERING SOME OF THE BEST WORK OF HE HAS EVER DONE. THIS SCENE SHOOK ME TO THE CORE - POWERFUL POWERFUL STUFF.
I see flashes of my father & grandfather in Robert Duvall. His acting is spellbinding. With the power, intelligence & grace in his performance I tend to forget that I'm actually watching a film & I develop emotions for both the character he portrays as well as the other cast members. He is truly one of the greatest of all time... I applaud him for maintaining his exceptionally high standards when so many of his fellow actors have taken to performing in mediocre roles in even more mediocre films.. Love this guy...
I'm sorry to be so self-indulgent. I've watched this movie several times, and watched this particular video more times than I can even count. Robert Duval's reaction at 1:45 literally KILLS me every time. Every time! My mom pretty much ran things in our small town growing up. Everyone knew her, and everyone knew she knew where every irregularity existed. She knew who was doing things right, and she sure knew who was doing things wrong - even if she couldn't do anything about it. She could balance a budget right down to the penny, and nobody ever questioned her for almost 50 years. The corrupt folks in town could pretty much be singled out by their unwillingness to stand face-to-face with my mom. She wasn't an aggressor, but she just KNEW, and they KNEW that she knew - and I mean EVERYONE, for a half-century. When she passed, people that she told me - and my siblings - to "stay away from" came to her funeral. It was a small town, but I haven't ever met a single person - and I'm old now - who didn't love and respect my mom. In the final years, it was difficult, because she didn't realize that she could no longer do the job she had done for over half of her life. Nobody wanted to get rid of her, even though everyone knew that needed to happen. When she left her position in the City, she had NO IDEA why she was being replaced. None, whatsoever. In the final months/weeks/days, she would often talk about what she needed to do today - until she lost her ability to speak. She remembered judges, and instances, even when she couldn't remember my name, or my dad's name, or my sibling's names. She would tell detailed stories about things that happened - in the 1950's, but couldn't remember whether my dad had been there to visit earlier in the day. When your own mother looks into your eyes and says "you look familiar", then you'll understand - and I hope that never happens - EVER! And I'm talking about something that happened 18 years ago - that's how impactful this stuff can be. May you only experience it through my reminiscent ramblings on RUclips.
Jason S. Yesh he means that he saw that if he was easy on him he would turn up to be bad too so he has to be tough on his son to avoid the same thing happening twice
@@EaglesPerspective I want to know if its common in reality I'm at the recipient end , like when they judge people related to them ( Potentially son) they'll go more aggressive than usual
This is the best scene for me as well there is also the scene in the kitchen but i prefer this one. RDJs tear was perfect no matter how many times i watch it, it still gets to me.
movie came out a month after my father passed away from brain cancer. not knowing what the movie was about I went to see it with some friends. too many similarities with the movie and my own relationship with my father. couldn't hold it together at all. one of my favorite movies because I can relate to it so much. watch it all the time. such a good movie in my own biased opinion. if i can give any advice from my experience is that don't hold grudges with your father. because you might not get the chance to say the things you want to before they go.
I didnt understand this scene the first time I saw it. After watching it here by itself the 2nd time now, I finally get it. The Judge sentenced the guy leniently because that guy reminded him of his middle son (Robert Downey) and he wanted to help him just like how he wants someone to help his son. But the guy ended up becoming a murderer because of the lenient sentence and so The Judge did not want to make the same mistake again hence he became extra tough on his middle son who reminded him of his mistake. This is really deep when you think about it. But my favourite scene for me was actually the one where they were watching the family movie in the Basement.
yeah, me too. now I understand the timeline between those two cases. especially when Hank said, "I have memories, of us, you and me, and I don't. how come? why?". Hank's case was the second one, and he didn't get the same leniency his father gave Mark Blackwell because his father didn't want to repeat the same mistake. Hank didn't understand why his father was so tough on him back then, that's why he estranged himself from his family. yeah, it's deep and a touching scene. but the one that affects me the most is the last scene when they go fishing and his father acknowledges him being a great lawyer, then he dies.
Love this man as Iron Man, don’t get me wrong, but I continuously fall in love with him as a thespian when I watch scenes like this. THIS is our craft! And the fact that his production company put this together?! *chefs kiss*
I actually think this is probably the closest an American movie has gotten to Shawshank Redemption since that movie came out. In terms of its universal appeal and IDK warm, homely feeling. Just like Shawshank, the casting of even small or bit parts is perfect, the cinematography is beautiful, the music too and the movie just pulls at your heartstrings. I've seen it 5 times at least now and I always enjoy it, it's familiar, but it just never bores. I like the characters, the family, they all feel like real people, Downey, Duvall and d'Onofrio really look like family. And Robert Duvall just kills it. People overlook it because of how old he is, but he is flawless, just a spectacular performance. He really sells the character, every little emotion. JK Simmons was amazing in Whiplash too, but IMO Duvall was just one little bit better. IMO he deserved an Oscar for this. IDK why this movie isn't appreciated more. It's pretty much flawless in terms of story, acting, the overall emotional impact, etc. And it's so so American through and through. One of the best American movies of the past 25 years and it seems like no one is aware of it.
"I looked at him, and saw you." You can tell that Hank was not expecting this reply. It made him stagger for a moment. All his life, he'd thought that his father was this uncaring, egotistical self-centered man who would even throw his sons under the bus. And suddenly, Joseph Palmer was explaining why he'd let a juvenile kid get off with only 30 days in juvie. He'd never stopped loving his sons - it was that same love and empathy that had caused him to think of another kid as his own son. But it was this lapse of judgement that soured his ability to forgive, even with his own son.
I was not a hardcore fan of RDJ. Saw all his Iron man stuff, like him but didn't quite get why people are so crazy about him. Until 2-3 days ago when I saw this. What amazes me is how he is able to Express the emotion with a plain face. Here is just looking at his father and nothing, just his eyes. That's all. The eyes though not moving dramatically but did the work just amazing enough.
So...Hank paid for his father's lapse in judgment. Even the presiding judge over this case grasped the tragedy of that. Joseph punished Hank because he didn't want the same kind of fate to befall his son family by showing leniency in his son. That's a lot of professionalism on Hanks part to not lose it in court.
@@vmsballer he regretted giving a lenient punishment to Blackwell so he gave an extra tougher punishment to hank? He could have just given the normal appropriate punishment Neither too lenient nor too tough
Here, for the first time, he expressed everything - how much he loved Hank Jr that he was able to empathize with a crying kid he'd never met before, how regretful, guilt-ridden and conflicted he was from his first judgement that, wanting to avoid the same for his son, he sentenced Hank Jr to juvie for an unintended accident. Here is Robert Duvall's acting at its finest - he's both furious, ashamed, amused by his situation, grieving at his mistakes and the decisions that he made. As he confessed his reason and logic, you can see Hank Sr unbottling all the emotions he has kept contained within himself over the years for the sake of his job and his family. He never apologized to his son, never told Hank Jr how proud he was, out of shame for what he had made his son go through. It was a moment where the old man implictly expressed his sorrow, and implicitly asked for his son's forgiveness.
He absolutely kills it in the film. People overlook it because they see an old grumpy man, but there's so much acting going on in his performance, so many details and small things. Really, he should have won awards for this.
Watching 2 times in 2019 after Watching Endgame and now in 2020 I'm back again to See this movie just to figuring out this movie is brilliant it was simple story about dad and his son but the storytelling it makes me cry. What an Amazing movie
To a generation raised on comics and MCU, Downey 's fame as Iron Man is their only reference to his acting skills. He had a rocky road of ups and downs prior to his Stark days, though. Duvall and Downey are excellent actors. This is a good movie.
You forgot about Sherlock.I still don't get his appeal in all the movies he played in (except ironman which isn't saying too much)his co stars out shined him.I would have cut him some slack due to his drug abuse but let's be honest he would not have been such a success if it wasn't for his dad also doing a movie where he fucks his daughter and then another movie where he fucks his neice doesn't help in changing my opinion
“For want of a nail…” The tragedy that all that could have been avoided if the father would have just talked to his son. Dropped the pride for a minute and simply explained this to him.
That Tear Drop From RDJ, At The Exact Moment When He Realised Why The Judge Preferred To Keep Him Away From His Sight. It All Made Sense To Him At That Exact Moment, Why His Father Was Never Around. It Just Breaks Your Heart. That Tear Drop Adds So Much More To This Scene. 💔
I think there shoulda been a shot on Mark Blackwell’s mother when judge Palmer was talking about how he wanted someone to help her son & all that, so we could see her reaction
A great scene. But I thank God my father was (and still is) anything like that......that kind of wall was never there for us. And he was a career Army NCO for 32 years.,,if any of you have ever been born into a military family you could imagine what he COULD have been like.
This was a very powerful movie all together. The humor it has was dark and sometimes crude (the bar scene comes to mind with the delinquents 😂) but this scene was amazing. Thank you for posting it, first time searching for this scene and found it right away cause I knew one titled this would be what I was LF. Robert Duvall and RDJ are amazing in this movie and shows you blood's thicker than water. Very real movie, more drama than anything, but still very good. If you want to just laugh though, another really good slapstick/straight guy one is the planes, trains and automobiles remake "Due date" These both share a special place in my heart 👍
this movie is sooo underrated
This movie was over CLiche'd Shit
no it isnt, undertale is underrated!!!!!
One of my favorites.
723lion garbage score though
Agreed!!!
You could tell this project was very close to RDJ's heart.
Ikr I'm so late
Because he was in court too from his past and father
This movie and the Hank Palmer character is definitely a reflection of himself during his pre-Iron Man personal struggles. Whether he intended it to be that way or not.
Since his performance as Tony he is close to mine. It was like not seeing a performance but an actual person. The MCU is done for me 😢
I’ll probably still watch but it won’t be the same even with Strange, Hulk and Thor
If i remember correctly. Throughout his MCU career, he barely did any movies outside of Marvel, so yeah this had to be a close project to him.
How Robert didn’t win an Oscar for this role baffles me! Brilliant performance! Definitely one of his best if not the best! He is Iron man!
Duvall or Downey jr!? Both were great! 😁
Which Robert? haha
@@hugocastillo8855 it says iron man so he means downey xD
Best was chaplin
and still.. Robert hasn"t won an oscar, yet..
2:35 the tear drop..amazing acting
I agree! That tear drop was a great actor
Don't really think that it was acting..
@@mrs.mxlfoy3485 a choked voice was missing.
The best scene? Well I beg to differ. A very good scene. Yes. One of many. BUT my favorite is that kitchen scene in the storm. It was breathtaking.
The scene that got me the most was at the end as the judge said to his youngest son "Take care of your brothers". Definitely not the most epic or important moment but it just seemed so natural and well placed. It showed that the judge had emotions and could finally show them.
100% right
Really i felt it too! ❤❤❤The intensity in RDJ eyes🌌
For me the best scene that Hank lose the case an cry after the Judge go to the Jail
Reminded me of myself
02:36 that tear. That is the acting .
I lost it at that one tear drop...
Catarina Prata "teardrop on my harmonica"
I lost it when I saw your picture
I grew up resenting my father. He was tough on me growing up, sometimes, maybe tougher then he had to be. As I’ve grown up I’ve realized he probably saved my life. This movie touched me.
A child must both love and fear their parents. Love alone will spoil them, and fear alone will damage them.

Was that a bad thing?
Jason S. Yeah but it’s just emotional altogether as a statement
2:04 i love this because the whole place is so quiet even the judge is letting them have their moment as father and son and not as lawyer and accused ( if thats what u would call him?)
Also the accused is a veteran judge and will be given due respect. Heck they could talk for a week and not get interrupted
ahahaha xD
you would call him a defendant
The son is the defense lawyer.
his eyes are so expressive

My own father died a few months after this movie came out. I have often felt The Judge is an excellent depiction of someone in their twilight years.
Why is it when a Father and son have a heart to heart full on open and vulnerable moment it just opens the flood gate of emotions. Deep.
Almost every scene is perfect.
The shouting matches, the tension, the court scenes, Glen being Glen. The spinning chair.

Excellent movie. The emotions were so raw and real, the sadness lingers on. Superb cast.
0:58 - I looked at him and saw you.... Same willful disobedience... same recklessness. I looked at him and saw my middle son...
Here, for the first time, he expressed everything - how much he loved
Hank Jr that he was able to empathize with a crying kid he'd never met
before, how regretful, guilt-ridden and conflicted he was from his first
judgement that, wanting to avoid the same for his son, he sentenced
Hank Jr to juvie for an unintended accident. Here is Robert Duvall's
acting at its finest - he's both furious, ashamed, amused by his
situation, grieving at his mistakes and the decisions that he made. As
he confessed his reason and logic, you can see Hank Sr unbottling all
the emotions he has kept contained within himself over the years for the
sake of his job and his family. He never apologized to his son, never
told Hank Jr how proud he was, out of shame for what he had made his son
go through. It was a moment where the old man implictly expressed his
sorrow, and implicitly asked for his son's forgiveness.

One of my favorite movies! They need to make more like it!
You were not mistaken that was indeed an epic scene
This secne made me cry 😭

excellent movie well worth watching
The judge was just like :(
Robert Duvall deserve 100% the Oscar for this incredible performance 🎉❤
He shown so much passion for this movie ,maybe because he has issues with his father ,or maybe he is just too good at it .
I cry, every time
I weep like a little boy every time is see this. Once you become a Father you know what loving a Son means.
You mean beating them into a pulp until they develop masochistic tendencies? Count me in
Watching 2 times in 2019 after Watching Endgame and now in 2020 I'm back again to See this movie just to figuring out this movie is brilliant it was simple story about dad and his son but the storytelling it makes me cry. What an Amazing movie
AS A MIDDLE SON AMONG THREE SONS THIS SCENE HAUNTS ME
Awesome scene. Amazing acting throughout the movie
Great movie. Two amazing actors.
Robert Duval and RDJ what a duo without one the other is nothing in this movie
To a generation raised on comics and MCU, Downey 's fame as Iron Man is their only reference to his acting skills. He had a rocky road of ups and downs prior to his Stark days, though. Duvall and Downey are excellent actors. This is a good movie.
You forgot about Sherlock.I still don't get his appeal in all the movies he played in (except ironman which isn't saying too much)his co stars out shined him.I would have cut him some slack due to his drug abuse but let's be honest he would not have been such a success if it wasn't for his dad also doing a movie where he fucks his daughter and then another movie where he fucks his neice doesn't help in changing my opinion
“For want of a nail…”
The tragedy that all that could have been avoided if the father would have just talked to his son. Dropped the pride for a minute and simply explained this to him.
One of Robert Downey Jr. top scenes
god that single tear killed me inside ;(
I never cried to any movie but this GOD this was good
This movie pulls on my emotional strings
That Tear Drop From RDJ, At The Exact Moment When He Realised Why The Judge Preferred To Keep Him Away From His Sight. It All Made Sense To Him At That Exact Moment, Why His Father Was Never Around. It Just Breaks Your Heart. That Tear Drop Adds So Much More To This Scene. 💔
I love Robert Tony.. My best actor in world.....
Favorite movie scene. I cried 😢
my heart dropped when he said i looked at you i saw him 😥
What an utterly fantastic movie.
this was my favorite movie for a long time
Entire Film was waited for this scene.
AMAZING movie 🎥 with a deeper meaning..!
One of the best films ive ever seen
That tear, amazing actor!
I think there shoulda been a shot on Mark Blackwell’s mother when judge Palmer was talking about how he wanted someone to help her son & all that, so we could see her reaction
Robert Duvall was outstanding in this movie
A great scene. But I thank God my father was (and still is) anything like that......that kind of wall was never there for us. And he was a career Army NCO for 32 years.,,if any of you have ever been born into a military family you could imagine what he COULD have been like.
2021
Still my favorite movie.
This was a very powerful movie all together. The humor it has was dark and sometimes crude (the bar scene comes to mind with the delinquents 😂) but this scene was amazing.
Thank you for posting it, first time searching for this scene and found it right away cause I knew one titled this would be what I was LF.
Robert Duvall and RDJ are amazing in this movie and shows you blood's thicker than water.
Very real movie, more drama than anything, but still very good.
If you want to just laugh though, another really good slapstick/straight guy one is the planes, trains and automobiles remake "Due date"
These both share a special place in my heart 👍
Things change when you have children of your own.
Only people with children will understand that
nothing you can do ..! just close your eyes and cry deep heart
