I'm so glad you watched this film - one of my all time favorites. I'm not all the way through your reaction, so I don't know if you address the fact that we see here a young version of another legend - Ethan Hawke. Might I suggest that you dive into his filmography, perhaps Predestination or First Reformed. There's also Reality Bites, a kind of grunge coming of age from the 90s or Juliette, Naked a great romcom.
@@React2This thank you thank you. And that right there is exactly the goal I had when making my channel. that feeling of watching a favorite film with a good friend
This is so painfully true. There's like a few dozen or so people who could possibly be jesus returned and Robin was one of them. Your comment has me misty eyed 😢
@@FrankFreezy_ When the actor Christopher Reeve (Superman) was paralyzed in a horseback riding accident and eventually ran out of money for the kind of care he needed at home, his friend Robin Williams stepped up and made sure he had what he needed. Robin Williams was as kind as he was talented. I think this film is the one that shows his heart.
@@React2This god, everything i learn about this man makes my heart ache! he passed when i was 12 so I only knew him from the night at the museum series (and I LOVED HIM in it but i didn't know his impact from just that) I wish i had known how wonderful he was back then
My grandmother used to pay us kids $5 every time we memorized a poem. We kids thought of it as easy money, but as an adult I realized that the real reward was having all these poems in my mind. She was a poet (Clarine Coffin Grenfell) and an English teacher. 💗
Your grandmother sounds like a genius and also a sweet woman. And that's something I would love to do for my my kids someday🧡🧡 I just looked up her Wikipedia page. That is so awesome. Thanks for sharing
"his dad is going to hate himself forever" oh, we all wished. in the final cut we never even see neil's father ONCE after his death, but there was a deleted scene where he confronts keating at neil's funeral, and puts the entire blame on him. like his attitude, demeanour, literally nothing changed. like it was infuriating bc...hello your son just died and he's already out here tossing blame instead of mourning for him (in contrast to his mother). but thats also where i think it's a good authorial decision, some characters dont deserve a redemption arc and should be hated till the very end. if they made us feel any sort of sympathy for his dad, i think i would hate that even more than the no-change in character. such a wonderful movie and i loved your reaction and everything you said about it thoroughly!!
It took many times watching to catch onto this, but Todd (the quiet kid) found his voice, his yawp in Neil's death while out in the snow. It is his name that gave him his voice. Such a powerful movie.
I’ve seen this movie nearly twenty times, and the thing that really gets me the most about the relationship between Neil and his father is that Neil is willing to look at the situation through his father’s perspective, and can even understand where he’s coming from and why he does what he does, but Neil’s father refuses to truly engage with Neil’s perspective in good faith. Neil saying “I can see his point” as opposed to his father telling him to “forget all that ‘*acting*’ business” is so telling of their dynamic, if their scenes prior weren’t enough to establish it. Neil isn’t allowed to be anything outside of the mold his father has made for him, and attempts to speak up for himself or to take control of his own life and break out of said mold will be squashed, seen as insubordination, and even guilted out of him (as is seen by his father using his mother as a bargaining chip by saying “You know much [you being a doctor] means to your mother, don’t you?”). It also makes his decisions to forgo asking his father’s permission as well as lie to the school board, and Keating, about his father giving permission at all-which is ultimately the decision that undoes him-more understandable, while still stupid. He could have, and arguably *should have* asked for permission, but he was also doing all of the understanding in their relationship on multiple levels; He understood his dad so well that he knew better than anyone that nothing he had to say would change his mind. (And as a not so fun fact: In a deleted scene of Neil’s funeral, as he holds his crying wife in his arms, Neil’s father continues to pin ‘the blame’, if we’re going to pin blame at all for the tragedy that befalls them, on Keating-much like how he blamed Keating for making Neil ‘disobey’ them in the first place. He never learns, which only goes to show that Neil is ultimately right; not even his own son’s suicide as a result of his passion and final bit of autonomy and choice being ripped from him changes his mind.)
Oh my goodness this is so long, I’m so sorry 😭 I just have so much to say about this movie, and, if it weren’t incredibly obvious, it’s my favorite one LOL
My senior year of high school I brought this movie in to watch in English class towards the end of the school year (2011 for context), knowing my teacher would approve but having no idea if the class would enjoy it as much as I did. We had to split the movie up across three classes, and for the most part everyone was completely silent watching the movie so I assumed everyone hated it and would hate me even more for bringing in a movie everyone hated. I was completely wrong, and found out how emotionally invested everyone was when the bell rang in the middle of the s**cide scene. The entire class erupted in shouts because the teacher paused it right as Neil was reaching for the gun. Shoutout to Ms. Hicks for letting us watch this as a class.
Shout out to you for sharing that story. Good job exposing your classmates to such a wonderful piece of art. It was risky but you did it. That was a wild Cliffhanger for the class to stop at tho lol I would have lost my mind. And yes shout out to Miss Hicks
When Neil passed was the first time his father referred to him as “my son” Never showed him any love smh As a creative I can understand how not being able to do what I love would be like a life sentence. Still can’t believe this came out the year I was born.
Same. It is trip when you grow up watching someone like Robin, he sort of becomes that cool uncle like Franklin was talking about. That dude you may only see at a family gathering every once in awhile but somehow stays in your mind and heart all the time. He had a lot of broadly comedic films but many of his roles had something profound to learn, especially at a young age. Losing Robin was a bit like losing someone you knew, even if we didn't really know him.
Lovely reaction to a beautiful film. I love that not everyone stood on their desk at the end: they all made their own choice for their own reason, and Keating would have understood that.
Omg, I still remember what a mess I was when I watched this in the cinema as a teenager! And I can't believe how much it still made me cry today. 😭 It's truly a masterpiece and noone could ever have played the role of Mr. Keating as perfectly as Robin Williams. He's such a passionate, extraordinarily talented actor who's sorely missed. RIP, oh Captain my Captain, you influenced more lives than you'll ever know. 😢❤
When I found out I was having a son at the age of 47 and watching this again it broke me. Unlike all the other times I've watched I made it a point to do better as a father in understanding him as he grows.
Fun fact: a few of the boys in this film (background characters) were actual students where this was filmed. They actually earned more for their few scenes than their teachers normally made.
I was one of those lucky people to have teachers that left a profound mark on my formative years. I'm forever grateful and indebted to them. Thank you Robin for leaving you soul into your films, thank you for letting us in, you are forever missed !
i keep staring at all the art behind you omgggg its so enchanting. i love how you stuck to a color scheme for the big blue painting! i always think its so impressive to be able to make a face look realistic, especially with how you're playing with color on her skin. idk how to explain it well enough its just awesome lol. also omg "make a guard rail for them not a brick wall" THATS EXACTLY IT! i couldn't have said it better.
Thank you so much for admiring that painting. I think technique wise and skill wise that is my most impressive painting. Also loved how you talked about the choices I took with her skin tone and keeping to a color scheme. One of my favorites for sure. It took a lot out of me. Glad you love it. Yes yes guardrail always💜💜
What a great reaction. Two things I took away from your thoughts. First, you mentioning that we all have that teacher in our life who was such an inspiration for us. I did have a teacher who inspired me to strive for what I'm passionate about, and I can only hope you and everyone out there was as fortunate to have such a teacher. Second, I loved your comment, "Build them a guardrail, not a brick wall". Such a great motto. Thanks for continuing to shine a positive light with your reactions. I look forward to seeing more.
Thank you thank you thank you. The impact that a good role model or positive adult figure can play in a young person's life is massive. Every young person needs that, just like we had. And yes, I don't have a kid of my own but whenever that day comes I will gently build some guardrails. Thank you for recognizing what these videos are intended for not for appreciating it. I'll see you on the next one🧡🧡
This movie was an inspiration for me to become a teacher. I love it, and even with all the tremendous roles Robin Williams played throughout his career, this my favorite. As a teacher through almost a decade now, I love that final scene. There are plenty of kids, for whom you are just going to be another teacher. Your successes should not be measured in the amount of As you hand out during exams, but those rare few students whose life you impacted for the better.
I'm so happy you did this movie. Most of Robbin Williams movies had a deeper meaning. He taught the boys to think for themselves and to live life. With all that is going on in our education system this is a good lesson to learn. Thais is why our society is in the state it's in today. Every one follows the masses, instead of thinking for themselves. Your words are well expressed. Thank you for the review. It's sad that Mr Williams ended his life. He was a brilliant actor and genius comedian. Most of his movies were so deep. His sorrow was very deep.😢 Another good movie of his was Awakenings, with Robert Denero. Based on a true story and took place in NY. Check it out when you get a chance. Oh and BTW your artwork is amazing. I love it. Looking forward to your future reviews. 🙋
I'm glad I watched this movie too. One of my favorites. He was so instrumental in their lives and yes very relevant for today's world. Thanks for the recommendation and thank you so much for watching
I've never felt more proud & weep so hard as when I saw this for the first time. I was a teenager myself, and this movie left a mark on me, too. Seeing this again as an adult is even more impressive - to see this from that perspective. One of my favorite movies ever.
One of my favorite Robin Williams films, despite the heartbreak ❤ I grew up with strict parents. So I definitely empathized with Neil, and made his death hit harder. On another note, this definitely shows how a strict childhood creates the best liars & teaches your children not to confide in you as the parent. The fact that his parents still couldn’t see their part in Neil’s death & instead blame Keating will always infuriate me. And yeah, Knox’s whole Nice Guy storyline does not work anymore, especially that party scene. Your mom sounds like a beautiful soul & an amazing mother.
That is rough. I'm sure a lot of people will see themselves in Neil. I love what you said. Creates the best Liars. And then parents are surprised when they're old and their kids wants nothing to do with them. I was too naive to think that Neil's dad would feel guilty about what happened. How can he when he doesn't even think he did anything wrong? Infuriating is the right word smh She really is. Thank you🧡🧡
When they were making this movie. Robin kept trying to make Ethan Hawke laugh to break character but he just wouldn't break so Robin kept trying harder and harder and getting funnier and funnier. Ethan has said in interviews that he thought Robin didn't like him because he kept trying to make him break character. But the truth was he was genuinely just trying to get the guy to laugh but Hawke wanted to be a serious actor. It wasn't until after filming was complete that Robin's agent called Ethan and said "Robin told me he thinks you gonna be a big star so I'm adding you as a client" Ethan still has the same agent
Thank you for watching this one. This movie is incredibly brilliant and it moved me to my core. Robin Williams was a great, great actor and an even better human being. You actually remind me a bit of him. ❤❤❤ If you loved this movie you might also love 'Mona Lisa smile'. Similar topic, Julia Roberts in the leading role, awesomely acted!
I can watch this movie a million times. I just have to be in the right headspace for it. The acting by everyone is just so good that I can’t get enough of it. But every time, it rips my guts out.
I'd would also recommend Good Morning, Vietnam, which (I think?) came out a couple years prior to Dead Poet's Society if talking of strong and impactful Robin Williams performances.
Happy Saturday...Amazing film. Absolutely, Seize the day, before its to late. No one is promised time and we never know when ours will end. There is nothing impossible to those who will try. Many lessons here...Enjoy the world with wonder, Think for ourselves, not be spoon fed thoughts of others, Try different prospectives, Strive to find our own voice, Stop trying to be perfect, and just...u guessed it, seize the day. U'll def have to ck out his amazing films "Patch Adams" and "What Dreams May Come". Thanx so much, take care, Peace
It sounds like you had wonderful parents which I think shows in the person you are. It’s amazing how much you can tell about a person from reaction videos.
Aww Thank you so much! It feels good to connect and share with people in these reactions. And it feels even better when the viewers appreciate it. Gracias💜
You are one of the best content creators I’ve seen in a while! Your reactions, production value, and how you reply to almost every comment, I see all that effort and you definitely earned a new supporter!
First time I watched this film was AP English, the end of my senior year of high school. It felt momentous and life changing, and it was the movie I was watching when I had my first kiss, two years later. This movie is so important to me, and I hope to contribute a verse.
When I was in junior high I had 3 teachers that apparently saw something in me that deserved nurturing. They nudged me without force and I was as crazy as any 15 year old. My chemistry teacher agreed to explore the anarchist's cookbook with me. My biology teacher taught me about plants off curriculum. My Swedish teacher loaned me books from her personal bookshelf. They watered the growing plant inside me. And I'm grateful.
18:30 i had parents who werent interested in my education and future, i understand you but youre lucky guy. i have never studied anything but always made art, it is a privilege to be able to work as an artist than as a rooom cleaner. peace from germany with my broken language.
Hoping you have Awakenings with Robin and Robert De Niro on your list. Another serious role which Robin emulates a real life individual. Another "right up your alley" type film.
great film.. and Ethan Hawke was just a boy! please check out Scent of a Woman, with Al Pacino.. he won his only Oscar for this (out of eight nominations for Best Actor in his whole career) it’s one of my all-time favourites - the tango scene is amazing 🎬😊
I havent't watched the reaction yet, but I just wanna say your art is AMAZING! you are so so so talented. I'm gonna definitely have to buy a couple of pieces when I get paid & hang them up at my job
Checked out your art's website. Lovely pieces! I was hoping to find a replica of the Andre 3000 piece you have behind you. Gonna put in an order for that "Kimono" one soon for me, but will you ever have the Andre 3000 portrait up for sale? My friend would absolutely love it. He's been a fan of Andre 3000/Outkast since forever.
I think you would love What dreams May Come. It uses art in a very interesting, unique way. And there is actually some ethnic diversity in it. It also might interest you to know that dead poets society is kind of a queer classic. There is a lot of gay subtext in the film. It isn't as easy to pick up today. But there was a time when there were some big movies about being gay but you had to leave the gay part out😅. Basically, people feel that Neil actually killed himself because he was gay. And his father was terrified of the play specifically because it showcased his flamboyance to the world. When you think of it this way, his roommate's reaction is more in place, because they were together. There is a lot to this theory more than I could put here. But I thought it might interest you. Because I remember you talking about a friend of yours who had delt with something similar. I remember seeing this movie when i was 11 or 12, which was just after I realized that I'm gay. Back then, it felt so hopeless. I thought about ending it many times. This movie was one of those things that pulled me back. It was so life-affirming.
What Dreams May Come is a movie I will watch for sure. No surprise at all that this movie is a queer classic. Everything he went through with his father not letting him be, express and be his true self is so tragic and real to the queer experience and coming out. Definitely believe it's. I'm so glad you're still here and this movie was very light performing for you💙💙
Unsolicited plant care advice: your monstera looks like it would love a shower. Like literally put it in your shower, let it run and wash the leaves (like rain), then sit in the steam for a bit with the curtain closed. It’ll be so lush and shiny. Only saying cuz of the browning on the edges, droopiness and dustiness of the leaves. I enjoyed this reaction thoroughly, btw, I just noticed this at the end. Also you can replace the light bulb in that lamp with a plant bulb, but it still needs more light to thrive in that corner.
My man you are SIMPLY THE BEST at what you do // love going through the whole damn spectrum of emotions with you one movie after the other. I APPLAUD YOUR CHOICES!! // now im not sure you even consider taking requests or propositions anymore but man: AMÉLIE (jean-pierre jeunet) + AMADEUS (milos forman) Are 2 absolute masterpieces that are kinda made for you to react to!! Keep doing it m8 we love you👊🏻
Robin Williams was my childhood. I come back to him often. I first saw this as a teenager. It made me fall in love with him even more xx ❤ I'm here for more robin Williams films should you choose to react to others of his. Good reaction thank you.
Your reactions are always great my man. I appreciate that you pause the movie to go in depth on your points. Always look forward to your uploads. Your art is awesome as well. Funk and Moddle Child may have to come home with me soon.
Wow, I haven’t watched the video yet but I was wondering who painted the blue woman behind you when you said you were sponsoring the video. I can’t afford to buy anything and. I don’t have wall space for it but I wanted to let you know how beautiful the painting is.
The dad won't hate himself forever because for him to do so he would have to see into what happened with his son but in the movie the father would not be aware the role he played in his son's deat, He chose to go after the teacher instead. It was this hardness of heart that drove Neal to want to end his life.
If you want to keep going with Robin Williams' films, please please check out The Fisher King. It's my all time favorite of his and it doesn't get nearly enough attention.
this is my favorite movie to watch in the fall, the setting is so beautiful. (also, as a side note - i am so excited for your dances with wolves reaction. i was obsessed with that movie as a kid!)
oh also, i think you would really enjoy the holdovers! it’s a newer movie so it might not do well on the channel, but for your free time it’s such a good movie with very similar themes and setting!
You are a highly intelligent kid. You can tell by the way you speak and how quickly you pick up on certain things. I always wished I was like that. I truly enjoy your channel for the reactions and the humor and the insight. Peace and love kid, Nate from Plymouth Mass.
This movie came out when I was a teenager. Loved it! But I loved Neil, Todd and Know even more then :D Such babies! I always liked Robin Williams more in his dramatic roles, although they are gladly never without humor. I also recommend Awakenings with Williams and DeNiro and Good Morning Vietnam.
Would love to see you react to another Robin Williams Movie, Right down your alley with an Art element to it. “What dreams may come”, and another “Patch Adams”. Both fantastic, but “what dreams may come” is one of my all time favorites. 👍🏻
One of THE **Best** movies i have ever seen also one of the most **Sad** my gawd i cried my eyes out 1st time i saw it & it still just makes me waterfall every time i watch it **Genius** tho Thank YOU ever so! Luv hearing your insights & stories **PixieHugz&LuvzALL**
Sir please watch the movie "what dreams may come" with Robin Williams. The day Robin Williams died I was hoping that things will happen to him like in this movie. Please please sir watch this film. Best wishes from Germany...
Most people have some childhood trauma or other that has greatly helped to shape their personalities...sadly. Even worse , most did not encounter a wise and understanding mentor who could help then break the vicious cycle...before it really sets in. That poor boy's father was in a vicious cycle of his own and he could only relate to his son in the one way that he knew. With failure staring him in the face, dad could not even take responsibility. I appreciate your insight on the topic. 🙌🙌 2 movies that are brilliant and well worth the watch and discussions: "FINDING FORRESTER" 2000 / "THE LONGSHOTS" 2008. ✨✨✨✨🔥🔥🔥🔥✨✨✨✨🔥🔥🔥🔥✨✨✨✨🔥🔥🔥🔥✨✨🔥
If you like Robert Sean Leonard also like I do , please please consider reviewing the movie Swing Kids, what a performance in and wonderful movie I really recommend. Robin Williams was one of a kind ❤

Thank you thank you thank you. The impact that a good role model or positive adult figure can play in a young person's life is massive. Every young person needs that, just like we had. And yes, I don't have a kid of my own but whenever that day comes I will gently build some guardrails. Thank you for recognizing what these videos are intended for not for appreciating it. I'll see you on the next one🧡🧡
This movie was an inspiration for me to become a teacher. I love it, and even with all the tremendous roles Robin Williams played throughout his career, this my favorite.
As a teacher through almost a decade now, I love that final scene. There are plenty of kids, for whom you are just going to be another teacher. Your successes should not be measured in the amount of As you hand out during exams, but those rare few students whose life you impacted for the better.
I'm so happy you did this movie. Most of Robbin Williams movies had a deeper meaning. He taught the boys to think for themselves and to live life. With all that is going on in our education system this is a good lesson to learn. Thais is why our society is in the state it's in today. Every one follows the masses, instead of thinking for themselves. Your words are well expressed. Thank you for the review. It's sad that Mr Williams ended his life. He was a brilliant actor and genius comedian. Most of his movies were so deep. His sorrow was very deep.😢 Another good movie of his was Awakenings, with Robert Denero. Based on a true story and took place in NY. Check it out when you get a chance. Oh and BTW your artwork is amazing. I love it. Looking forward to your future reviews. 🙋
I'm glad I watched this movie too. One of my favorites. He was so instrumental in their lives and yes very relevant for today's world. Thanks for the recommendation and thank you so much for watching
I've never felt more proud & weep so hard as when I saw this for the first time. I was a teenager myself, and this movie left a mark on me, too. Seeing this again as an adult is even more impressive - to see this from that perspective. One of my favorite movies ever.
One of my favorite Robin Williams films, despite the heartbreak ❤
I grew up with strict parents. So I definitely empathized with Neil, and made his death hit harder. On another note, this definitely shows how a strict childhood creates the best liars & teaches your children not to confide in you as the parent.
The fact that his parents still couldn’t see their part in Neil’s death & instead blame Keating will always infuriate me.
And yeah, Knox’s whole Nice Guy storyline does not work anymore, especially that party scene.
Your mom sounds like a beautiful soul & an amazing mother.
That is rough. I'm sure a lot of people will see themselves in Neil. I love what you said. Creates the best Liars. And then parents are surprised when they're old and their kids wants nothing to do with them. I was too naive to think that Neil's dad would feel guilty about what happened. How can he when he doesn't even think he did anything wrong? Infuriating is the right word smh
She really is. Thank you🧡🧡
When they were making this movie. Robin kept trying to make Ethan Hawke laugh to break character but he just wouldn't break so Robin kept trying harder and harder and getting funnier and funnier. Ethan has said in interviews that he thought Robin didn't like him because he kept trying to make him break character. But the truth was he was genuinely just trying to get the guy to laugh but Hawke wanted to be a serious actor. It wasn't until after filming was complete that Robin's agent called Ethan and said "Robin told me he thinks you gonna be a big star so I'm adding you as a client" Ethan still has the same agent
Thank you for watching this one.
This movie is incredibly brilliant and it moved me to my core.
Robin Williams was a great, great actor and an even better human being.
You actually remind me a bit of him.
❤❤❤
If you loved this movie you might also love 'Mona Lisa smile'.
Similar topic, Julia Roberts in the leading role, awesomely acted!
You're so kind. It makes me happy to hear that he was so loved 🧡🧡
Thanks for watching and thanks for the recommendation. It's now on my radar
I love this movie. It has similar themes, but additionally looks at challenges for women during a similar time period.
I can watch this movie a million times. I just have to be in the right headspace for it. The acting by everyone is just so good that I can’t get enough of it. But every time, it rips my guts out.
One of my favourite Robin Williams Film
I can see why. What a great film
WHAT DREAMS MAY COME! It might as well have been Robin saying goodbye from the afterlife.
I’m excited to watch that one
Yes, yes, yes. Double D Anniversary gets me everytime. I can't wait for that reaction.
The book is also excellent, and I can only see and hear Robin Williams when I read it. Chris was him. His daughter even said so. ❤
Oh, you got this movie. Love your comparison with Fight Club on following your inner genie. Great reaction!
Thank you thank you. I feel like that comparison was worth making 😊😊Thanks for watching
Please Please PLEASE do What Dreams May Come.
It is a VERY emotional movie with Robin Williams and Cuba Gooding Jr.
I surely will. It is on my list.
@@FrankFreezy_ ❤️❤️❤️
I'd would also recommend Good Morning, Vietnam, which (I think?) came out a couple years prior to Dead Poet's Society if talking of strong and impactful Robin Williams performances.
Great reaction to a wonderful movie. My favorite Williams role is in The Fisher King - everything about it is top notch.
Thank you thank you. And I appreciate you putting that movie on my radar
Make a guardrail not a brick wall, exactly 😊
💚😊
I clicked on this so fast… Thanks for reacting to this
Haha
Happy Saturday...Amazing film. Absolutely, Seize the day, before its to late. No one is promised time and we never know when ours will end. There is nothing impossible to those who will try. Many lessons here...Enjoy the world with wonder, Think for ourselves, not be spoon fed thoughts of others, Try different prospectives, Strive to find our own voice, Stop trying to be perfect, and just...u guessed it, seize the day. U'll def have to ck out his amazing films "Patch Adams" and "What Dreams May Come". Thanx so much, take care, Peace
Beautifully said. All these are motos to live by. Thanks for bringing up those movies again. They're on my list. Thanks for watching
This might be the most insightful, thoughtful and lovely reaction to this beautiful film I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for being here for it
I love your thoughtful commentary and can't wait to see what you watch next.
Much love. Thanks
Neil’s parents wanted him to become a doctor. Coincidentally actor Robert Sean Leonard went on to play one of the doctors on the tv drama House.
It sounds like you had wonderful parents which I think shows in the person you are. It’s amazing how much you can tell about a person from reaction videos.
Aww Thank you so much! It feels good to connect and share with people in these reactions. And it feels even better when the viewers appreciate it. Gracias💜
Knowing that Robin Williams would eventually end his own life makes Neil’s death hit even harder.
😔😔
I can only imagine how he was suffering😢
It’s a devastating disease and he chose to leave on his own terms.
@@KC-bv9kf I don’t think it’s what he would have chosen as a way out.
I 've seen this a zillion times. I loved your insights. You noticed things that I haven't after all these years! You've got a new sub! :) Keep it up!
I appreciate that. That is a beautiful thing about re-watching movies you love, so many fun new stuff
You are one of the best content creators I’ve seen in a while! Your reactions, production value, and how you reply to almost every comment, I see all that effort and you definitely earned a new supporter!
I appreciate that for real. I really care about what I do and hearing something appreciate it to this level means everything 💜🫡🙏🏾
I've never heard Fight Club compared to Dead Poet's Society. 16:47 I like the way your mind works.
I appreciate that. I had to make that comparison cuz it was just so relevant in my mind at the time.
First time I watched this film was AP English, the end of my senior year of high school. It felt momentous and life changing, and it was the movie I was watching when I had my first kiss, two years later. This movie is so important to me, and I hope to contribute a verse.
Loved this reaction, it's one of my all time favorite films.
Gracias. Thanks for watching ❤️
Man your videos are so great. Love your reactions and commentaries.
Yay Glad you enjoy it!
Having watched several of your videos Franky, I just want to be sure you know that you have definitely contributed a verse ❤
Ah🥹 thanks for saying that. Means a lot❤️🧡
I also recommend watching
patch adams and awakenings . These movies also have Robin Williams in them.
When I was in junior high I had 3 teachers that apparently saw something in me that deserved nurturing. They nudged me without force and I was as crazy as any 15 year old. My chemistry teacher agreed to explore the anarchist's cookbook with me. My biology teacher taught me about plants off curriculum. My Swedish teacher loaned me books from her personal bookshelf. They watered the growing plant inside me. And I'm grateful.
YOUR ART LOOKS MAGNIFICENT AND YOUR REACTION WAS EQUALLY SPECIAL.
What Dreams May Come should be the next Robin movie. For me it's the trilogy... Dead Poet, Good Will and What Dreams
That will be the next Robin Williams movie I watch
18:30 i had parents who werent interested in my education and future, i understand you but youre lucky guy. i have never studied anything but always made art, it is a privilege to be able to work as an artist than as a rooom cleaner. peace from germany with my broken language.
In high school I remember my teachers debating whether or not Mr. Keating was responsible for Neal's death.
Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
Gracias. So good😁
Hoping you have Awakenings with Robin and Robert De Niro on your list. Another serious role which Robin emulates a real life individual. Another "right up your alley" type film.
My favorite movie of all time, just pure emotion. Robin brought magic more than other excellent actors
I only had maybe 3 teachers in my whole life that I actually liked going to their class. 😅
Haha I feel that. Those are the ones we’ll remember forever
Another great Robin Williams movie to check out is Good Morning Vietnam. There's his humor, and it's also dramatic.
watched this movie many many times and the last "o captain my captain" part still gets me every time... RIP Robin Williams, great actor.
great film.. and Ethan Hawke was just a boy!
please check out Scent of a Woman, with Al Pacino.. he won his only Oscar for this (out of eight nominations for Best Actor in his whole career)
it’s one of my all-time favourites - the tango scene is amazing 🎬😊
Thanks for the donation. Very much appreciate it. Thanks for putting that movie on my radar.
@@FrankFreezy_ you’re very welcome.. you have a warm and kind way about you, and i enjoy watching your reactions🎬😊
youre a very talented artist !!! i love your paintings and art style
Much love to you
This movie broke my heart so bad, I honestly did not see this ending coming 🥺 we will never have another Robin Williams..❤
I havent't watched the reaction yet, but I just wanna say your art is AMAZING! you are so so so talented. I'm gonna definitely have to buy a couple of pieces when I get paid & hang them up at my job
Checked out your art's website. Lovely pieces! I was hoping to find a replica of the Andre 3000 piece you have behind you. Gonna put in an order for that "Kimono" one soon for me, but will you ever have the Andre 3000 portrait up for sale? My friend would absolutely love it. He's been a fan of Andre 3000/Outkast since forever.
Just wanted to let you know this movie came out in 1989, not 1983. Thanks for reacting!
Appreciate that. Just a typo
I think you would love What dreams May Come. It uses art in a very interesting, unique way. And there is actually some ethnic diversity in it.
It also might interest you to know that dead poets society is kind of a queer classic. There is a lot of gay subtext in the film. It isn't as easy to pick up today. But there was a time when there were some big movies about being gay but you had to leave the gay part out😅. Basically, people feel that Neil actually killed himself because he was gay. And his father was terrified of the play specifically because it showcased his flamboyance to the world. When you think of it this way, his roommate's reaction is more in place, because they were together. There is a lot to this theory more than I could put here. But I thought it might interest you. Because I remember you talking about a friend of yours who had delt with something similar.
I remember seeing this movie when i was 11 or 12, which was just after I realized that I'm gay. Back then, it felt so hopeless. I thought about ending it many times. This movie was one of those things that pulled me back. It was so life-affirming.
What Dreams May Come is a movie I will watch for sure.
No surprise at all that this movie is a queer classic. Everything he went through with his father not letting him be, express and be his true self is so tragic and real to the queer experience and coming out. Definitely believe it's.
I'm so glad you're still here and this movie was very light performing for you💙💙
Unsolicited plant care advice: your monstera looks like it would love a shower. Like literally put it in your shower, let it run and wash the leaves (like rain), then sit in the steam for a bit with the curtain closed. It’ll be so lush and shiny. Only saying cuz of the browning on the edges, droopiness and dustiness of the leaves. I enjoyed this reaction thoroughly, btw, I just noticed this at the end. Also you can replace the light bulb in that lamp with a plant bulb, but it still needs more light to thrive in that corner.
Appreciate you for it. Yes my baby needs some love. I will give it a shower today❤❤💚💚
My man you are SIMPLY THE BEST at what you do // love going through the whole damn spectrum of emotions with you one movie after the other. I APPLAUD YOUR CHOICES!!
// now im not sure you even consider taking requests or propositions anymore but man:
AMÉLIE (jean-pierre jeunet)
+
AMADEUS (milos forman)
Are 2 absolute masterpieces that are kinda made for you to react to!!
Keep doing it m8 we love you👊🏻
You need to do "Good morning Vietnam". Great Robin Williams movie! He was nominatef for an oscar for that ad well, and played a real person in it!
So ready to watch ❤❤❤
Yay🕺🏾
Robin Williams was my childhood. I come back to him often. I first saw this as a teenager. It made me fall in love with him even more xx ❤
I'm here for more robin Williams films should you choose to react to others of his. Good reaction thank you.
Your reactions are always great my man. I appreciate that you pause the movie to go in depth on your points. Always look forward to your uploads. Your art is awesome as well. Funk and Moddle Child may have to come home with me soon.
Many thanks my friend. If I don't pause to go in depth into those points I may just lose my mind lol. Appreciate you for appreciating the art
Your plant is called peikonlehti in finnish. My mother always had those plants.
Peikko means a gremlin or a troll. Lehti means a leaf. So peikonlehti means a gremlin's leaf.
I really liked a Robin Williams movie most people seem to have forgotten about: *The Night Listener* (2006).
Wow, I haven’t watched the video yet but I was wondering who painted the blue woman behind you when you said you were sponsoring the video. I can’t afford to buy anything and. I don’t have wall space for it but I wanted to let you know how beautiful the painting is.
Not every support has to be financial. You watching this video and you appreciating my artwork is enough support and I appreciate it💜✌🏾😁
The dad won't hate himself forever because for him to do so he would have to see into what happened with his son but in the movie the father would not be aware the role he played in his son's deat,
He chose to go after the teacher instead. It was this hardness of heart that drove Neal to want to end his life.
You are picking all my fav.movies :) it‘s a pleasure watching you enjoying them ❤
Yayyy i’ve been having a blast with these movies for real. I’m happy you’re enjoying the reactions🌟
And watching your reaction to this video, you were actually very wise
"Make a guard rail for them, not a brick wall.."
I really like that 😊
Painfully ironic considering the final fate of Robin Williams.😢
Honestly. So sad💔💔
Thank you, boys. Thank you ❤
Hearing him say that with the smile on his face was perfect🧡
Not robes...just their school uniform coats ;-)
If you want to keep going with Robin Williams' films, please please check out The Fisher King. It's my all time favorite of his and it doesn't get nearly enough attention.
44:21 no sounds, yet you know. very powerful
this is my favorite movie to watch in the fall, the setting is so beautiful. (also, as a side note - i am so excited for your dances with wolves reaction. i was obsessed with that movie as a kid!)
oh also, i think you would really enjoy the holdovers! it’s a newer movie so it might not do well on the channel, but for your free time it’s such a good movie with very similar themes and setting!
You are a highly intelligent kid. You can tell by the way you speak and how quickly you pick up on certain things. I always wished I was like that. I truly enjoy your channel for the reactions and the humor and the insight. Peace and love kid, Nate from Plymouth Mass.
This movie came out when I was a teenager. Loved it! But I loved Neil, Todd and Know even more then :D Such babies! I always liked Robin Williams more in his dramatic roles, although they are gladly never without humor. I also recommend Awakenings with Williams and DeNiro and Good Morning Vietnam.
I loved your comment about making guard rails and not brick walls.
Would love to see you react to another Robin Williams Movie, Right down your alley with an Art element to it. “What dreams may come”, and another “Patch Adams”. Both fantastic, but “what dreams may come” is one of my all time favorites. 👍🏻
Great suggestions. Those movies are on my list✨
Amazing movie!! Always makes me cry. I loved seeing the reunion of Ethan Hawke & James Charles in Taylor Swift’s video.
One of the best of seen for sure
Beautiful movie❤
Absolutely🧡🧡
Love this movie. I watched Flubber recently, so much better than I remember as a kid.
That is what 'change' is made of and it only exists if we let it arrive and put it in action.
One of THE **Best** movies i have ever seen also one of the most **Sad** my gawd i cried my eyes out 1st time i saw it & it still just makes me waterfall every time i watch it **Genius** tho Thank YOU ever so! Luv hearing your insights & stories **PixieHugz&LuvzALL**
I told you when you did a recent poll that this was more the movie for you as an artist
This is true, and I agree. Thank you.
Sir please watch the movie "what dreams may come" with Robin Williams.
The day Robin Williams died I was hoping that things will happen to him like in this movie. Please please sir watch this film.
Best wishes from Germany...
I absolutely will. It is very high on my list. Thanks for bringing it up
As a theater kid, with a slightly overbearing father, this one hit home. Carpe!!!
I miss Robin Williams so much😢
Most people have some childhood trauma or other that has greatly helped to shape their personalities...sadly.
Even worse , most did not encounter a wise and understanding mentor who could help then break the vicious cycle...before it really sets in.
That poor boy's father was in a vicious cycle of his own and he could only relate to his son in the one way that he knew. With failure staring him in the face, dad could not even take responsibility.
I appreciate your insight on the topic. 🙌🙌
2 movies that are brilliant and well worth the watch and discussions: "FINDING FORRESTER" 2000 / "THE LONGSHOTS" 2008.
✨✨✨✨🔥🔥🔥🔥✨✨✨✨🔥🔥🔥🔥✨✨✨✨🔥🔥🔥🔥✨✨🔥
Why does everyone sleep on Patch Adams? Another fantastic Robin Williams movie.
If you like Robert Sean Leonard also like I do , please please consider reviewing the movie Swing Kids, what a performance in and wonderful movie I really recommend. Robin Williams was one of a kind ❤
Please watch "Smoke Signals" and "Thunderheart"
