- Phenomenal film and performances all around. I had no idea what to expect from this and was blown away. 10/10
p.s. did NOT expect a Goblet of Fire reunion haha
In Bruges (2008) starring Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Ralph Fiennes, Clemence Poesy, Jordan Prentice and Thekla Reuten.
Directed by Martin McDonagh
For anyone curious, the dream sequence clip I used, it's from the film Living in Oblivion (1998), an old favourite of mine. If you like weird indie films, you'll love it! It stars Steve Buscemi, Catherine Keener, Dermott Mulroney and Peter Dinklage
Stay tuned next week for a Guy Ritchie favourite: RocknRolla 😎
It requires an especially dark sense of humor, but this is one of my favorite movies of all time.
Not gonna lie, when I was editing I actually had a moment where I was like, damn should I be laughing at this lol but then I remembered the people watching this probably share the same sense of humour 😎
@@chrissiereacts This movie was written and directed by famous playwright Martin McDonagh who has made several movies. This one is my favorite, but I would highly recommend Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri which he is probably most known for, it was nominated for a probably should have won Best Picture in the stupid shape of water year.
@@rextside Seven Psychopaths is my favourite McDonagh film. And his plays are fantastic.
15:30 "you're an inanimate f*cking object!" 😆
It shouldn't be funny, but it's just so real!
For years after seeing this movie my friends and I would occasionally just be like "I'm sorry I called you an inanimate object" out of nowhere and burst into fits of giggles.
I use this more than I should...
The 'Do I have to?' exchange never fails to crack me up.
Superb film, great writing with acting to match.
"It's Jesus' fookin blood isn't it? Of course you don't fookin HAFTA" 😂
lollypop man is essentially a crossing guard they carry poles with stop symbols on them that look like big lollypops so that became their name
Ha ! Lol, i literally pictured an Oompa Loompa in my head and thought that they didn't remember the name and yet understood each other perfectly, or maybe that they couldn't use the name for copy right reasons. Now i feel silly. Thanks for clearing that up for me :)
That actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks!!
I imagined some random candy shop owner.
If I'm being *completely* honest, I imagined the person pushing the trolley on the train to Hogwarts
Most are at the least, 2nd degree black belts in bottle karate. It's a requirement.
"The guard" from Brendan Gleeson is another great movie with the same humor.
Yes! It's on my Patreon but will make its way to youtube at some point :)
This movie has such an incredibly specific tone, like a dream sequence...on horse tranquilizers.
It makes me happy to see people watch it all these years later.
Alcoves?
You're the first person who managed to put into words exactly how I felt after watching this movie, bravo
Seven Psychopaths, The Guard and The Banshees of Inisherin should be watched.
The Guard and The Banshees of Inisherin are amazing!
But why not Three Billboards outside Ebbing Missouri as well? Frances McDormand is great, and it's another Martin McDonagh movie.
@@LethalWalou Kind of forgot about that one to be honest! But yes, another great film.
@@Jim-fd9jz Easily forgotten as it's a murican one instead of Irish, so no worries.
@@LethalWalou No, not at all! It's just that I have only seen it once when it came out.
One of my top 3 films. It’s the perfect blend of action, comedy, and tragedy wrapped up in exceptional performances by all involved.
And the, “You’re an inanimate fucking object!” still cracks me up more than it really should.
What, prey tell - are the other two??
@@dancarter482 Joe Versus the Volcano, probably the existential film in a digestible package ever made-definitely the most existential romantic comedy.
The Wizard, but that’s a purely sentimental reason. Not to mention, writing an analytical essay on how it dissects the modern nuclear family structure got me into NYU film school. I owe that film a lot, which is crazy considering it’s basically a 90 minute commercial for Nintendo. Lol
You need to watch better films lol 😂
I don't know for you, but for me that scene hits hard not cos of seeing the graphic death of the boy, but because of Colin Farrells performance. Seeing him see that knowing he is responsible he draws you into that horrifying moment much more than anything, to the point where the boy doesn't even need to be on screen for it to be just as effective.
The scene really sells the impact of ending a life via the contrast: the priest was dying for a reason, even if we didn't know why, it feels deserved, but the boy was just wrong place wrong time. And there's no taking it back even though it was just a stupid mistake
The tower scene when Ken sacrifices himself gets me choked up every time i watch it. Great reaction.
Absolute masterpiece of a film. One thing that people often miss is how the the scene in the museum, where they are looking at The Final Judgement painting, is referenced back to at the end, on the the film set with all the bizarre characters.
Under the radar and amazing for that reason amongst many others
3:37 "what? on a job? here in bruges? here in bruges? on a job?" 😆
Possibly my favourite movie of all time. Everything about it is perfection. It's great watching someone watch it for the first time and their utter surprise and shock. Tears and laughter, often in the same scene.
The Banshees of Inisherin by the same director stars the same 2 actors & was highly praised. I personally *would not* go in blind just because it gets a little weird 😅 but it's beautifully shot & Colin Farrell's performance really moved me.
10:10 "a bottle!" 😮😆
This movie was so unexpectedly funny lol
I embarrassed my missus so much at the theatre when we saw this movie. I was a teensy weensy bit high, and when he calls the dwarf a " little fuckin c word" (see 7:03) I completely lost it and could not stop laughing 😂😂
My fav film and my new fav reactor, as a 32 yr old male i have no shame to say i sit and cry with you through these dark meaningful films. Youre a wonderful soul and Im a huge fan. Keep it up :)
😊 thank you!
I think the metaphorical "killing of the child" to be an adult is a theme revisited here by most of the characters. The innocence, honesty, loyalty and humour of a child lost to the hardness of adult life is its own death. The real murder is the murder of the child inside. I mean if you want an essay on this, it wouldn't be difficult to write.
Such a brilliant brilliant film! A roller-coaster.
Great reaction.
If you enjoyed this you'll love "The Guard", no Collin Farrell but it has Brendan Gleeson.
The guard is one of my favourite movies. Such a hidden gem though, whenever I'm near the sea I picture him coming out in his spedos
And Don Cheadle...
This young lady is a super hostess!!!
Such a relief from much of the nonsense a viewer experiences out there!
Bravo to your disciplined and reserved approach.
Also your obvious skill at observation makes watching with you a positive ride-along. 😎💯
Seven Psychopaths is incredible - it's the film In Bruges' writer-director did after this movie. I'd definitely recommend that one.
The number of times me and my friends have yelled "you're an inanimate f*cking object!" or “Alcoves, you have this word?” with zero context because of this film would be very, very high. A great blend of tragic and comic. If you liked this check out "The Guard" "The Killing of a sacred Deer" "The Lobster" and "The Banshees of Inisherin."
The McDonagh brothers just have a gift for writing. Brendan Gleason gives a phenomenal performance in Calvary which was written by John Michael.
I think the best performance I've seen of Colin Farrell was in Phone Booth which is another great movie (and almost a film in real time)
For a very different performance from Ralph Fiennes, I thought The Constant Gardener was an incredible film
there is very few movies that cover soul crushingly sad to ridiculously hilarious and even manage to jump between those feels like this masterpiece
Dark humor is my favorite humor, because it's kind of a 2-for-1 deal: You get a laugh wrapped in a dark, more serious context. "I shouldn't be laughing at this but, damn it, it's funny!"
Thanks for another very enjoyable reaction, pretty lady. 🤗
Same! Life is absurd so why not have a laugh at the absurdity 🙃
my first visit to your channel...........this is one of my top 10 favorites.........enjoyed your reaction. thanks for sharing.
Ralph Fiennes is mega as the gangster. Top movie.
You can't do far wrong with Martin McDonagh (Writer/Director) of this film.
His latest film Banshees of Inashiren has the same main actors.
But he has also worked with Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell separately (The Guard and Severn Psychopaths respectfully). But, I would recommend Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri highly. Oh and the afore mentioned The Guard is quite the companion piece for this film.
Absolutely agree on everything you said but it was his brother John Michael Mcdonagh who directed Brendan in the guard. And Calvary also.
Came to comments to see did anyone recommend Seven Psychopaths, great movie.
@donnchaodalaigh4031 Well I never. I didn't know it was his brother who directed The Guard. Hopefully you can see why I mixed up the two, they have a very similar quality and style to them. Both choc full of witty banter but with a dark heart.
@@icepee9252 no worries was just letting you know, for awhile I believed it was him too until he made Calvary
Colin Farrell channelling Father Dougal a lot of the time.
(not yelling)
SEXY BEAST- If you've seen Ghandi, this is Sir Ben portraying the Polar opposite of Ghandi
THE GUARD: Brendan Gleason and Don Cheadle are one of The Best comedy duos I've ever seen.
0:05 "and I do plan on doing it in the next couple weeks."
i'll be there man . 😎
Layer Cake is great too.
9:01 "what the f*ck is a lollipop man?" 🤔
I don't know, but I don't think I would want to be called a lollipop man.
Hahaha! It's giving white van no windows
Man, I had forgotten all about this movie! Forgot how really good it is 🙏🏼
Effing Bruges!
Love this movie and will love this reaction i’m sure 😊
Absolutely love that you watched this! Such an under rated gem…and Bruges is definitely not a “sh*thole”…and I thought you’d appreciate the “I heet the Canadian?!” bit 😊
True Romance.
Glad I stumbled across this channel. You got me hooked straight away, binge time! :D
This was directed by Martin McDonagh. The 2 actors are reunited in McDonaghs The Banshees of Inisherin. Also did 3 Billboards, with a similar mix of comedy and drama.
His brother John McDonagh directed Gleeson in The Guard. The most financially successful independent Irish film of all time. A personal fav of mine.
You need to watch Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Martin McDonagh is an absolute genius.
So glad you loved the movie. Great reaction as always. I must have watched this black comedy 20 times. Beautifully shot, wonderfully scripted and beautifully acted!
This film in my top 5 of all time!
Fantastic reaction to a crafted movie - such emotion when the kid got shot - think I was upset first time, but less so.
You might enjoy Brendan Gleason in - The Guard.
Or - the greatest Brit flick ever
- Withnail and I.
I’ll have to subscribe to see. 😎👍
I absolutely love this film. It's easily in my top ten. What a fantastic script with great performances.
This movie is one of those genuine hidden gems.
Nobody goes into it knowing what to expect at all, and it's just so good.
So well written and darkly funny.
I love every second of the film. It's just sad so many people don't know of it.
I recommend other stuff from this director, its pretty good, every film.
My sister went to Europe on a holiday years ago and when we watched this movie together afterwards, she was sitting there keenly watching for ... "OOh, I went there! And I went there. And I saw that!"
She loved the place, and I don't blame her.
It's like a fucking fairy tale. ;)
Loving your reactions and really looking forward to Rocknrolla probably my favourite Guy Ritchie movie
Nice!! I'm really excited now, so many people expressed their love for it.
one of all time fav movie. glad more people are discovering it. so underrated
LOVE this film.
_Layer Cake_ is an ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE! The BEST film of the genre followed closely by _Get Carter._
Well, given your name... ☺️
Unrelated, just looking at your pfp -do you sail? I'm taking my boat out of hibernation in a few weeks!
@@chrissiereacts It's Nigels original draft of the GB78
ruclips.net/video/bHjBgvbePms/видео.html
Great reaction ! Layer Cake is a fab film you would enjoy it.
Colin gives a great performance in Phone booth 👍
One of my favourite films 🎥 defo
My favorite comedy of all time
it's always nice to see a channel in the comments.
I actually went to Bruges just because of this movie. They had great beer.
Lovin your work 🙏🏻
This movie just hits you with combinations of emotions in a beatiful way
Another British dark comedy to watch is Four Lions.
7:08 - Me whenever my crush ignores me 😂
My first vid of yours i have watched as i was looking for reactions to one of my favourite films and i am really impressed, you are a pleasure to watch. Glad you enjoyed it, i will be checking out some of your previous stuff for sure.
Thank you! 😊
Great reaction to a wonderful film. Subscribed! You should do all of the McDonagh brother films! The Guard is maybe my next favourite. Seven Psychopaths is quite a ride too.
Went to Bruges a while back and i highly reccomend it if you ever get to Belgeium.... It's like a fookin' fairytale
Yes! Friends went last year and raved about it too. On my list! :)
Great choice. I didn't know what to expect on first viewing but I really liked it. Second viewing I liked it more and third viewing I Loved it!
Hi Chrissie, my first tome watching you. Glad you r doing this movie, I love it. Not a big Collin Farrell guy but I love Brendan Gleason. That being said Farrell is great in this movie. I agree with some of your other viewers - “The Guard” is a really good Brendan Gleason movie. Kind of like “In Bruges” you will laugh and certain scenes will make you cry. I saw the “Banshees of Inisherin” I was not impressed. Not the same chemistry you see here. “Calvary” is another great Brendan Gleason movie - like “In Bruges” and “The Guard” it is another dark comedy. The last one I would recommend is “Snatch”. All star cast, great story, very enjoyable film.
I'm still quite new, so welcome! :D
Before starting the channel, I had never seen any Colin Farrell... I didn't get the appeal. The 2 performances I've seen of him have been amazing, so I guess I've been converted!
A few people have recommended The Guard, so I'm definitely adding it to my list! And I agree, Snatch was fantastic 👏
Another Brendan Gleeson film with a similar humour is The Guard, you should watch that.
Yes! It's on my Patreon but will eventually make its way to RUclips :) I liked it!!
One of my absolute favorite movies ❤
Kojak was a lollipop man.
"Who loves ya baby?" :-))
Tony Savalas could pull off the lollipop look look no other.
If you liked this movie, try "the Guard" with Brendan Gleeson
great movie
look forward to a few more, i have a few random ones
Martin MacDonagh (writer and director of this film) is a playwrite first, and movie director second.
He is also the master of mixing utter bleakness and sadness with pure hilarity.
I would recommend his latest fim, 'The Banshees of Inisheerin'
It also stars Bredan Gleeson & Colin Farrell - along with Barry Keoghan and Kerry Condon.
It's on my channel :)
@@chrissiereacts well then, I know the next reaction I'm checking out 🤣🤣👍
This film is easily in my top 10. An almost unheard of, under appreciated masterclass of film and story telling.
'Calvary' from 2014 is another great movie with a towering performance from Brendon Gleeson.
One thing you have to give to Harry. He certainly stuck to his principles.
5.10 soon as he said Herve l thought of " De plane De plane " lol Fantasy lsland
This is just such a remarkable movie, fucking hell.
Also, you should watch The Banshees Of Inisherin, same 2 lead actors, same director, just as brilliant as this one.
You should watch two more Brendan Gleeson films. Calvary and The Guard. Same dark humour. Great films
I think you'd really enjoy Seven Psychopaths, The Banshees of Inisherin & The Lobster 💜 have a lovely film journey
London Boulevard next
P.S. Living In Oblivion! Saw it in the theater when it came out! Haven't seen it in YEARS!! Thanks for reminding me about it! I may have to do an In Bruges/Living In Oblivion double feature!
I used to own the VHS - I love it!
Try Seven Psychopath’s.
0:28 "... if I'm totally honest."
I insist on total honesty from a reactor , so thank you. 🙂
😄 always 😁
That expression burrowed itself into my vocabulary one random day. Like a squatter I can't get rid of.
Colin Farrel is hilarious in "horrible bosses"
Ooh I'll have to check that out!
My favorite British or Irish crime/drama movies I would recommend are ''Get Carter'' (1971), ''Scum'' (1979), ''The Long Good Friday'' (1980), ''In the Name of the Father'' (1993), ''The Boxer'' (1997), ''A Room for Romeo Brass'' (1999), ''Sexy Beast'' (2000), ''Dirty Pretty Things'' (2002), ''Sweet Sixteen'' (2002), ''Dead Man's Shoes'' (2004), ''Red Road'' (2006), ''This is England'' (2006), ''Fish Tank'' (2009), ''Harry Brown'' (2009), ''Tyrannosaur'' (2011), ''Kill List'' (2011), ''Ill Manors'' (2012), ''Hyena'' (2014), ''Bull'' (2021). There are of course more.....
One of my fav movies! I am so glad to find your channel Chrissie! Watch next ''Manchester by the Sea'' please
Great suggestion!
"Seven Psychopaths" and "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri" are also great movies by this director
8:02 "😢😢😢"
really changes the tone of the movie.
@16:29. I had to google it. It really isn't that far, about an hour on the plane. Indirect and "economy" flights take much longer but I imagine the boss of a crime syndicate would likely splurge for a direct flight, maybe even go first class. 😆
Gotta do THE GUARD next
it's losing on the poll!
@@chrissiereacts nooooo
@@chrissiereacts banshees is great too but I'd go with the guard first
Seconded. Cracking Film.
Ralph Fiennes..awesome
luke kelly raglan road ❤
❤
First time on the channel, glad you liked the movie, absolute classic for me. I love the tight script and smart foreshadowing for pretty much all plot points and the overall message, however bleak, is really well executed imo.
Just wanted to commend the smart editing with resizing the camera portion of the screen to cover up things that YT might flag and all that, very well done !
If you enjoy dry and dark humor, i would recommend "The Voices" with Ryan Reynolds and Anna Kendrick, certainly not a viewer magnet, but well worth a watch imo.
Hope you got your beer eventually :)
Thank you!! I still got flagged lol they are so strict but at least the video can still stay up :)
Also, beer tonight for sure haha
@@chrissiereacts Oh, that's a bummer, still a good effort !
one of the best movies ever
I did like Colin in Total Recall.
Living in oblivion reference. Instant subscribe
One of my favourites
4:54 That's mean. I lost a bet because I was positive that it was Peter Dinklage that was in In Bruges.
That school uniform reminded me of Gryffindor with its colors.
After LotR probably my favorite music in a movie as well
Bruges, Rounders, Bad Santa and Succession?! I think you are my soulmate.
I was wondering when you'd show up!
