_The Silence of the Lambs_ (1991) may be the best Crime/Thriller ever made. Nominated for seven Oscars it won the "big five": Best Picture; Best Actor - Anthony Hopkins; Best Actress - Jodie Foster; Best Director - Jonathan Demme; Best Adapted Screenplay. Only two other films have won all five: _It Happened One Night_ (1934) one of the greatest romantic comedies; and _One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest_ (1975) one of the greatest dramas. If you've never seen _The Silence of the Lambs_ you must. Anthony Hopkins' performance is especially brilliant and frighteningly memorable.
@@DawnMarieX Yeah, I can't believe it's not on your list. The Hannibal Lecter movie trilogy is pretty crazy. "Hannibal" is not so good, but "Red Dragon" is pretty good. It's a prequel to "Silence of the Lambs" and is actually a remake of an older film by the name of "Manhunter". But regardless, you should watch "Silence of the Lambs" first because the 'Hannibal Lecter' character is most haunting in that one.
My respect for Brad Pitt's acting went from pretty much unknown to crazy high in the space of two visits to the movies in less than a month around about December 1995.
It's a good job he didn't ask Amazon to deliver the parcel, or they'd still be stood in the desert at 9pm with a message saying the van was 3 stops away.
I can't wait to see this. Almost every single time she reacts, it is the most hilarious thing I've heard all day. I don't know how she does it, but the s#!+ she says is always unexpected. I love it.
yea Dawn seems to put things together faster than anyone I ve seen, Like when she said with confidence "He's the killer, wearing sunglasses". I'm posting this before the ending, so I wanna see if she guesses what's in the box lol
That's not even the funniest part; she just throws out these unexpected, sexual dingers that NO person in their right mind is going to respond to, LOL! So we just sit here and laugh out a$$ off. She's throwed off, dude...
I remember seeing this in theaters and trying to figure out what Wrath could possibly be. Was it just inflicting physical pain on someone else who inflicted physical pain? That didn't seem sufficient. The answer was really quite a remarkable piece of writing. How do you destroy someone filled with anger? You make his anger useless. John Doe picked out Mills on the stairs when he realized this was someone who was incapable of keeping his temper under control -- someone who, as Mills himself put it, feeds on his emotions. So to destroy him, and turn that sin back on him, he makes his anger completely impotent. He gains nothing whatsoever by it. It can save no one, and it can harm no one who doesn't already want to be harmed. The only person he "kills" by his uncontrolled aggression is himself. His career and future are ruined, his wife and child are dead, and the man he killed wanted him to kill him. All his rage and power were meaningless.
Firstly, great reaction. I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone laugh their way through Seven before. Secondly, elite detective skills. Especially at the end - "there's a head in the box" Thirdly, yes, Bluey is the best children's show ever. But also, something I never ever throught I'd see juxtaposed with David Fincher. Thank you! 😁
I saw this in the theater. The screams coming from the audience with every reveal. I saw 3 people walk out, and heard one person get sick. The audience reaction alone put this movie in my top 10 best films.
Dawn Marie you are so good at figuring out movie logic and progress! Thank you for this reaction. I think I like it better when I watch your comedy reactions, but it was so interesting to see you figure things out in this mystery horror.
I don't know about "figuring out movie logic and progress". I think she did research on the movie. If she would have gone in blind, impossible she would have known that the title referred to the seven deadly scenes BEFORE the first body was found.
I'm late so you probably won't see this, but you should put _Memento_ on your list. It has the same kind of feel to _Seven_ without being as graphically gory or anything else like it. It's a trip.
Freeman is brilliant in this. His character comes out as being so natural, as if Morgan is making very little effort, just being himself. Edit- typo correction.
You might of been thinking of Zodiac when you thought Jake Gyllenhal was in this film, which is also another film you should definitely see, especially since it is by the same director as Seven.
Hi Dawn. I applaud your decision to watch Seven, especially since you had no idea what the picture was about. I am also impressed with how you guessed the major plot points. You’re so interesting to watch and I look forward to seeing what you view next.
Fun fact: Denzel Washington turned down the role of Mills, which went to Brad Pitt. He has since deeply regretted it. Also, the studio wanted a different ending. Pitt & Freeman said “hell no,” and both threatened to walk if the studio changed it. 1995 was a huge year for crime thrillers. This stood out.
"It's always raining, where is this?" well it's a little know fact that this movie supposedly takes place in Torquay, England, home of Fawlty Towers you see, John Doe was once a guest at Basil's hotel, and it all spiralled downwards from there
- You're spooky-smart do ya know that? - It's pronounced Gyllenhaal. I know some people that pronounce it Gyllenhaal but that's a common mistake. Heck I once had a teacher pronounce it as Gyllenhaal which got a good laugh from the class that day. But yeah, it's Gyllenhaal. I think you might like Brad again in Fincher's Benjamin Button :)
It's sad that most people remember Kevin Spacey for the abrupt exit from "House of Cards" because of sexual allegations. The guy is a brilliant actor. His debut year was this and "The Usual Suspects". Holy Crap! 2 monster hits right out the gate. My other thought was, we all know John Doe is meticulous, careful, patient. How did he know a married detective would be assigned to his case? (for Envy and Wrath). Somerset is single. What if Mills did not transfer? John Doe started at least a year ago (Sloth). He does not seem the type to 'hope' a married detective would be part of the investigation. I'm sure he had a backup plan, but that point always jumps out.
There's a children's game you can buy, "What's in the Box?" where you have to reach inside a box and identify the contents. I like to think it's a tie-in to this movie.
David Fincher also did Fight Club and the Social Network. Both good films. As far as thriller/crime movies go, there's Silence of the lambs, kiss the girls, copycat and murder by numbers
it's amazing what a career Fincher went on to have considering that it almost ended before it began with the disaster of Alien 3. What saved Fincher was Sigourney Weaver staunchly defended Fincher in the press. This caught the attention of a producer on this movie who decided to take a shot on Fincher with this movie. the rest is history
Yes Dawn. This movie revealed our big secret. Whenever you see two guys go into the bathroom together we shave our chests. Sometimes we shave each other's chests...
I've seen this several times (seven?) but this is the first time I've laughed my way through it (that knife penis thing keeps going in my head) 🤣 I was also impressed by your seemingly psychic powers in guessing what was coming next.
It is a pretty shocking ending... makes a strong point. Such a great film, David Fincher has a unique quality. If you liked the style be sure and see his other films like Fight Club, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Zodiac, among others.
As usual great reaction 🙂 Terrific Thriller/Neo Noir. What a twisted masterpiece. The story and tension are so incredible and so well constructed that you just can't take your eyes of the screen. And really nice that you get it almost everything right. And what to say about John Doe ? Top 10 greatest villains of all time, no doubt about it. The ending of this film is just...They had huge balls when they made it, it is evil true, but it's so memorable for a reason. Top notch film
The director of Seven is David Fincher. In '95, this was released and automatically shot to the top as all timer serial killer movie. Then Zodiac came out in '07 and immediately got on that list. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo 2010 American remake is amazing genre filmmaking in that it's investigative pot boiler thriller the first two thirds through that suddenly shifts in its last third into full on serial killer horror. Instant classic. Especially the last third. Then a little movie called Gone, Girl came out in 2014 based on the smash best seller that has that greatest twist halfway through in all of cinema history. The second half after the plot flip is how will it end? All these are some of the finest who done it? crime thrillers of the last thirty years if not all time. And they're all directed by the same person: Mr. David Fincher. This list doesn't include his prestige tv work which also has the most influencial series on serial killers ever made. So, yeah. If true crime is your bag, then this is your guy. Turns out, he kinda got a knack for this sh*t.
What an absolutely unbelievably twisted Film this is and yet it is still one of the very best in its genre! I truly hope you thoroughly enjoyed it as much as I did! 😱🥶It was both terrifying yet held your attention no matter at whatever point you are! It is just absolutely awesome with the very best acting around!
A movie with Brad Pitt that many reacters seemed to have liked (I like it a lot) is Meet Joe Black. Another great one is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He has a small (but very funny) part in True Romance -- also quite a movie!
First if all, I'm definitely not the best judge of male beauty, but Brad Pitt is one of those guys that even I can see is handsome. If you go back and watch this movie again, you might be surprised at how little gore is actually shown. Most of it is implied and our imagination does the rest. It's brilliant.
Brilliant! Just Brilliant how you guessed nearly everything in this movie and yet was still so invested. Wonderful as always!! From guessing the reason for the number to the very end. Just Brilliant and Wonderful!!!
This was uncanny. Knew right away it was the next victim and he had no hand. Knew right away it was the killer on the stairs. She was like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day watching Jeopardy in this one. That English accent and humor is the perfect love potion on top. But I digress...
@@MoMoMyPup10 Right? Ain't gonna lie. Seen others react, review and comment but bar none, hands down the BEST reaction to this movie ever!! Bottom line! Hell! To tell the truth, I dunno who had more fun watching it. Me or Dawn Marie. I can totally watch again. Lol!
Comedy movie recommendation: Bedazzled (2000), starring - an amazing - Brendan Fraser, and Liz Hurley. IMDB summary says "Hopeless dweeb Elliot Richards is granted seven wishes by the Devil to snare Allison, the girl of his dreams, in exchange for his soul." It might sound dark, but it really isn't. xD You'd get a kick out of it. ;)
@@DawnMarieX My favorite Brendan Fraser movie is "Blast From The Past". Fraser plays a young man who was spent 20 years living in a fall out shelter in Los Angeles with his Mom and Pop because his dad mistakenly thought the Russians had launched nuclear missles. It really makes use of his wholesome likeability and charm.
In the U.S. if a cop does an illegal search any evidence found is not admissible in court. Somerset knew this. And yes the twist at the end of this movie is one of the greatest from a screenwriter ever.
@DawnMarieX, your deductions during this movie were most impressive. What I love about this movie is how it is shot. It's so dark, which gives it a more ominous feel. Notice how when Mills & Somerset are discussing the killings in the precinct at how they are distanced from everyone else. It feels as if they are all alone, even though there are a lot of people in the same room. The imagery in John Doe's apartment is very eerie. The crucifix above the cot, the dangling photographs and the trophies of the victims. The writing and acting are both top notch. Freeman and Pitt are great in this as is Kevin Spacey. I always wonder as to who is more frightening in this film, John Doe or John Doe's lawyer? I can't stand Gwyneth Paltrow either. That makes me like you even more, Dawn.
Absolutely brilliant film...that I only needed to see once. It leaves the sensation of a led blanket on your soul, as if you're getting an X-Ray. "What's in the box???????" 👀
There’s an alternate ending on storyboard here on RUclips that was on the dvd I believe. That ending had Morgan freeman killing John Doe before brad Pitt does so John Doe doesn’t win.
I wholeheartedly applaud your decision to select movies that are not poll winners and Patreon picks. There are thousands of absolutely worthwhile movies going completely unnoticed, while a relative handful are reacted to again and again. Perhaps reactors, like yourself, (though none is really your like, nor nearly your equal), should not only look at a movie's popularity, but also the number of times it has already been reacted to, before deciding to review it. Average reactors just react, but you are so much better. You are a top tier reactor, and I find that I enjoy even my favorite movies MORE for having watched them with you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Shine on.
19:50 "My legs are tight, shut right now" Lust always gets everyone the worst. You are the only reactor that somehow made me laugh at this atrocious scene.
Brad Pitt had only a limited time to shoot this movie and then he was needed for another project. Whether all his scenes were finished or not, he would not be able to work on this movie after that date. Unwilling to gamble on the weather, director David Fincher decided that it would always be raining. That way, if it happened to be raining when they were shooting outdoors, no problem, and if it happened not to be raining, they could bring in the water hoses. Brad Pitt finished shooting on schedule and the film was finished.
Dawn, your reactions are adorable and hilarious! Good on you for guessing the cameraman and a head in the box! 👏👏 I'm gonna go with Brad as more handsome but Morgan's got the brains so... 🤷♀️ And if you haven't seen Brad in "Legends of the Fall" (and "Meet Joe Black"), you must! Anthony Hopkins stars in both as well.
What the heck you are so smart. When I watched it I had no clue what the hell was going on. Also, growing up in a non-religious family, I never even heard of the seven deadly sins concept and I only learned after watching this film.
Speaking of numbers, Morgan Freeman was The Count (who taught children about numbers) on The Electric Company on PBS in the 1970's. The first victim is a case of gluttony. "Sloth" is lazy, slow-moving; there's a slow-moving animal called a sloth.
@10:07 _It's the next victim's fingerprints.... & When you find him he's maybe not going to have a hand._ Wow, it dawned on you & it was quick. Some might ask: "How does she do it?" but I won't. That's a *beautiful & well developed intuition at work.*
@@JGibson7913 idk if its just that. Buddy of mine married a woman from Argentina and she's the same. Like, loves watching the worst most disgusting l and over the top violent horror movies 😂🤣😂
I thought to myself no way she will be laughing and giggling as usual through this but was proven wrong. She killed the blonde sigma when she guessed the killer. Maybe she is on to something with not taking anything to seriously and keep on laughing. Cheers and chapeau to you young lady. Maybe she should watch the exorcist
Great pick and Great reaction. Also some pretty solid predictions. Nicely done, Dawn. Now you know the answer if you ever hear people asking "WHAT'S IN THE BOX?!"
You actually _are_ a movie-watching genius. I'm not even kidding. I've never seen or known of anyone who guesses three major aspects of this film, especially so early in the story: you were guessing the seven deadly sins in the opening titles, you knew that the photographer on the steps was our perpetrator and that Mills would see a photo of himself, and you guessed the head in the box at the earliest possible time. And yes, I agree with others: try _The Silence of the Lambs_ , for sure.
I remember reading somewhere that Brad Pitt was a good example of the "ladies' man" archetype, so women tended to like him but men tended to dislike him. (This was as opposed to George Clooney, a "man's man," who typically appeals to both.)
Well, I hope you’ll consider reacting to _The Sixth Sense_ and _The Usual Suspects_ in the future to see how fast you can figure out the plot twists. I must admit you found the culprit on this one rather quickly. Congrats!
The rain, shadows and dark ambience are all elements of film noir...a style from early days of Hollywood. Many people think that The Maltese Falcon was the first film noir. It would be worth watching.
Some other interesting films that may keep ya guessing: Momento, The Usual Suspects, Chinatown, Knives Out, Clue The Movie, Murder On The Orient Express and No Country for Old Men.
Dawn, I didn't have the post notification bell on when I found you. I wasn't even a subscriber! But once I did discover you, I clicked on both immediately 😆
The last 30 minutes of Se7en is a masterpiece in tension building
_The Silence of the Lambs_ (1991) may be the best Crime/Thriller ever made. Nominated for seven Oscars it won the "big five": Best Picture; Best Actor - Anthony Hopkins; Best Actress - Jodie Foster; Best Director - Jonathan Demme; Best Adapted Screenplay. Only two other films have won all five: _It Happened One Night_ (1934) one of the greatest romantic comedies; and _One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest_ (1975) one of the greatest dramas.
If you've never seen _The Silence of the Lambs_ you must. Anthony Hopkins' performance is especially brilliant and frighteningly memorable.
Nope! Haven’t seen it and I don’t think it’s on the list either so I’ll get it added 😁
Yes, absolutly want to have Dawn's reaction on Hannibal Lecter!
@@DawnMarieX If you want a good thriller thats not gory, but by the same director try Gone Girl.
@@wobaguk "Gone Girl" has one of the goriest and most shocking scenes ever...
@@DawnMarieX Yeah, I can't believe it's not on your list. The Hannibal Lecter movie trilogy is pretty crazy. "Hannibal" is not so good, but "Red Dragon" is pretty good.

One of the best calls in movie reactions, hes the killer, his face was hidden and he had lines - perfect instincts :D
My respect for Brad Pitt's acting went from pretty much unknown to crazy high in the space of two visits to the movies in less than a month around about December 1995.
Brad Pitt is a great actor when he is allowed to play ugly.
*Kalifornia.*
And great acting by Brad Pitt in 12 Monkeys
12 monkeys and 7 were the ones that made me respect him. Prior to that, he was just some pretty boy on posters in girls rooms.
@@kidwajagstang Confirming yep, I am also talking about 12 Monkeys and Seven.

Dawn sees Gwyneth Paltrow: "Oh, I don't like her."
Me: "You're gonna love this movie."
I thought at first you meant that Gwyneth would win her over with her superior acting. Then it hit me what you really meant. Lol.
Lol, same!
I watch the news, get depressed/angry/afraid, then watch a Dawn Marie reaction, new or old, and get on with my day :-)
If there was an award for “most beloved actor,” Freeman would win every year 🎉
Yep, and Tom Hanks.
Firstly, great reaction. I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone laugh their way through Seven before.

@@DawnMarieX Brendan Fraser is a gem. You must see him in Airheads, with Adam Sandler, and Encino Man, with Sean Astin (Sam from Lord of the Rings).
Fraser is amazing in Gods and Monsters (1998).
Sloth means 'Laziness'! Think of how the animal, the Sloth moves, very slow and deliberate! I love this film hun, it's soo very good. Xxx
That's me and my buddies - "Hey! Guys! Let's shave our chests!"
In the U.S. if a cop does an illegal search any evidence found is not admissible in court. Somerset knew this. And yes the twist at the end of this movie is one of the greatest from a screenwriter ever.
@DawnMarieX, your deductions during this movie were most impressive.
What I love about this movie is how it is shot. It's so dark, which gives it a more ominous feel. Notice how when Mills & Somerset are discussing the killings in the precinct at how they are distanced from everyone else. It feels as if they are all alone, even though there are a lot of people in the same room.
The imagery in John Doe's apartment is very eerie. The crucifix above the cot, the dangling photographs and the trophies of the victims.
The writing and acting are both top notch. Freeman and Pitt are great in this as is Kevin Spacey.
I always wonder as to who is more frightening in this film, John Doe or John Doe's lawyer?
I can't stand Gwyneth Paltrow either. That makes me like you even more, Dawn.
Absolutely brilliant film...that I only needed to see once. It leaves the sensation of a led blanket on your soul, as if you're getting an X-Ray. "What's in the box???????" 👀
There’s an alternate ending on storyboard here on RUclips that was on the dvd I believe. That ending had Morgan freeman killing John Doe before brad Pitt does so John Doe doesn’t win.
I wholeheartedly applaud your decision to select movies that are not poll winners and Patreon picks. There are thousands of absolutely worthwhile movies going completely unnoticed, while a relative handful are reacted to again and again. Perhaps reactors, like yourself, (though none is really your like, nor nearly your equal), should not only look at a movie's popularity, but also the number of times it has already been reacted to, before deciding to review it. Average reactors just react, but you are so much better. You are a top tier reactor, and I find that I enjoy even my favorite movies MORE for having watched them with you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Shine on.
I'm glad the ending finally dawned on her!
🤣😂🤣 I love you " is this normal for you guys, two men shaving there chest together"😂🤣😂🤣
19:50 "My legs are tight, shut right now" Lust always gets everyone the worst. You are the only reactor that somehow made me laugh at this atrocious scene.
It takes place in Dublin, that's why it's raining all the time.
Brad Pitt had only a limited time to shoot this movie and then he was needed for another project. Whether all his scenes were finished or not, he would not be able to work on this movie after that date. Unwilling to gamble on the weather, director David Fincher decided that it would always be raining. That way, if it happened to be raining when they were shooting outdoors, no problem, and if it happened not to be raining, they could bring in the water hoses. Brad Pitt finished shooting on schedule and the film was finished.
12:27...Sloth means hanging upside-down from a tree branch whilst moving verrrrry verrrrry slowly 🦥🦥🦥
Dawn, your reactions are adorable and hilarious! Good on you for guessing the cameraman and a head in the box! 👏👏
I'm gonna go with Brad as more handsome but Morgan's got the brains so... 🤷♀️
And if you haven't seen Brad in "Legends of the Fall" (and "Meet Joe Black"), you must! Anthony Hopkins stars in both as well.
What the heck you are so smart. When I watched it I had no clue what the hell was going on. Also, growing up in a non-religious family, I never even heard of the seven deadly sins concept and I only learned after watching this film.
The Usual Suspects is another great one with a twist.
Absolute masterpiece of a movie.
Speaking of numbers, Morgan Freeman was The Count (who taught children about numbers) on The Electric Company on PBS in the 1970's.
The first victim is a case of gluttony.
"Sloth" is lazy, slow-moving; there's a slow-moving animal called a sloth.
Next should be ‘The Usual Suspects’, another great crime drama
Fun fact…the police captain (F. Lee Ermey) was the drill instructor in “Full Metal Jacket”…😊
my favorite line: "I didn't do that."
Kudos for identifying the photographer as the killer... look at the big brain on you!
Oh my. Yeah. This is good stuff. Enjoy!! You will recognize R. Lee Ermey (the police captain) in another film soon. 😁
I didn’t!! But I know now 🤭
i remember walking out of the theater and my dad - visibly shaken - said "i fucking hate movies." lol
Dang girl you're intuitive!
"Maybe it has something to do with the lucky number 7?"
Unfortunately not 😬
But Morgan Freeman is in Lucky Number Slevin... *hint hint
I can't see Brad Pitt without thinking "What's in the box?"
The first murder we seen in the beginning of the film was not part of the 7, it was just a way to introduce Sommerset’s character.
@10:07 _It's the next victim's fingerprints.... & When you find him he's maybe not going to have a hand._
Wow, it dawned on you & it was quick. Some might ask: "How does she do it?" but I won't. That's a *beautiful & well developed intuition at work.*
@11::58 _He's the killer._
@14:50 _It's him._
& there & here :). The attention paid off too.
@17:39 _He's gonna see te picture of himself._
No comment needed :)
@25:00 _It's gonna be a head._
@25:51 _Omg.. His wife._
Wow, again. Do I need to repeat about attention & sound intuition? My hat off :)
Miss Dawn, You did done good again, We need more like this..
Another good Brad Pitt Movie is
Legends of the fall ❤
I love Dawn's reactions to violent movies because she doesn't respond like other women. She's amused by the violence and intrigued by the horror
Cause she's Scottish 🏴
@@JGibson7913 idk if its just that. Buddy of mine married a woman from Argentina and she's the same.
Like, loves watching the worst most disgusting l and over the top violent horror movies 😂🤣😂
I know of a few others who do that. They have an appreciation for the spectacle of it all and the behind-the-scenes work.
I know a lot of women who love horror movies; my mother, my sister, my best friend. What a weird generalization.
@@lifelikelisa we were trying to be funny 😂🏴
Did he say, Head this way??? 😂🤣🤪😘😍🥰❤️
Holy hell you knew the photographer was the killer immediately. That's nuts.
Also sloth is like laziness.
I thought to myself no way she will be laughing and giggling as usual through this but was proven wrong. She killed the blonde sigma when she guessed the killer. Maybe she is on to something with not taking anything to seriously and keep on laughing. Cheers and chapeau to you young lady. Maybe she should watch the exorcist
Great pick and Great reaction. Also some pretty solid predictions. Nicely done, Dawn. Now you know the answer if you ever hear people asking "WHAT'S IN THE BOX?!"
Jake Gyllenhaal was in the movie “zodiac” pretty similar to this one tbh, great watch! I’d love a reaction to that one.
You actually _are_ a movie-watching genius. I'm not even kidding. I've never seen or known of anyone who guesses three major aspects of this film, especially so early in the story: you were guessing the seven deadly sins in the opening titles, you knew that the photographer on the steps was our perpetrator and that Mills would see a photo of himself, and you guessed the head in the box at the earliest possible time.
And yes, I agree with others: try _The Silence of the Lambs_ , for sure.
I remember reading somewhere that Brad Pitt was a good example of the "ladies' man" archetype, so women tended to like him but men tended to dislike him. (This was as opposed to George Clooney, a "man's man," who typically appeals to both.)
Well, I hope you’ll consider reacting to _The Sixth Sense_ and _The Usual Suspects_ in the future to see how fast you can figure out the plot twists. I must admit you found the culprit on this one rather quickly. Congrats!
The rain, shadows and dark ambience are all elements of film noir...a style from early days of Hollywood. Many people think that The Maltese Falcon was the first film noir. It would be worth watching.
Some other interesting films that may keep ya guessing: Momento, The Usual Suspects, Chinatown, Knives Out, Clue The Movie, Murder On The Orient Express and No Country for Old Men.
Dawn, I didn't have the post notification bell on when I found you. I wasn't even a subscriber! But once I did discover you, I clicked on both immediately 😆
i bet the first season of true detective would be right up your alley 😉
Genius? A genius would have known he' shaves or slices his fingertips based on the opening credits. Not burned. Ah. Who cares? Love your channel!
Long story short. My mercy prevails over my wrath.
