Kathy Bates won Oscar for playing this character and during the speech she said "I would like to thanks Jimmy Caan and apologize publicly for the ankles..."
The hobbling scene had Dasha making sounds only her dog could hear.
looks like the dog thought s/he was being summoned
I love how your dog checked up on you to make sure you were okay. That's a good dog 🐕🐶
Kathy Bates: I'm also a nurse
Dasha: It's lucky
Me: yeah... right...
Dasha, what is wild about this is that years after King wrote this, something a little like it really happened to him. He was walking alongside a road when a truck hit him and he was hospitalized for a long time -- and the staff was told "Please don't make any 'Misery' jokes, no 'I'm your number one fan' or any of that."
Lol, I know a nurse who DEFINITELY would've walked in with a sledgehammer. 🤣
"That's not what you want to find in your stalker's home". Truer words have never been spoken
Fun facts: The movie was shot chronologically to build up the tension between Kathy Bates and James Caan. It obviously worked.
The director Rob Reiner has a cameo as the helicopter pilot.
That was one of the highest pitched screams I've ever heard during the hobbling scene! Well done Dasha!
I don’t think Hugo ever heard that squeak before. 😂
@@markhamstra1083 I literally thought "Damn, she hit dog-whistle pitch there", and then I saw the dog show up, rofl. Nailed it.
That was amazing, lol.
She never even blinked. Most female reactors and lot of male reactors turn their head and cover their eyes 👀 and never even see the scene. Dasha is a true professional, as a reactor it's your job to watch every scene and not rip us off and make us feel cheated.
Right? Somewhere outside, 14 bats crashed when their sonar got fried. Even the microphone couldn't catch it.
That's Lauren Bacall playing Paul's literary agent. Hollywood royalty.
You were actually right, the word FAN is a shortening of the word fanatic. It has softened from the meaning of the root word, but this movie made the phrase, "I'm your #1 fan!" kinda scary. In the book during the hobbling scene, she didn't use a hammer, she used an axe.
Lex Luthor, Darth Vader, Green Goblin, Hannibal Lecter... None of them were as scary as Annie. Her death was a welcomed relief in this movie.
Kathy Bates won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Annie Wilkes, and deservedly so. She really knocked it out of the park.
Lol your dog got worried after the hobbling 😂
I have to admit that I was chuckling with an evil laugh at the beginning when you said how lucky he was that SHE found him. Since she was a nurse she could take such good care of him. Annie really sucked you into her facade. Great reaction girl, I really enjoyed this one, sorry our fun comes at your expense.
Your reaction to the hobbling scene is one of the reasons I love watching Reaction Videos. Seeing someone's honest and pure reaction to such an incredible moment of cinema.
Dasha, as your no.1 Fan I have to say... great reaction to a very good movie !
Lol I was looking for a number 1 fan comment. Genius.
24:25 i've NEVER heard Dasha scream so loud it was a squeak!! 😆😆
Kind of makes you wish you held off on your compilation of the hobbling scene so you could have had this one in there, dosen't it?
@@tonyrossell832 Oh don't you know it!
Why not make a vol 2 with more reactors, including her?@@YoureMrLebowski
We LOVE YOUR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT DOG HUGO.😀😃
You're so engaged in every major moment of everything you watch. Very astute and observant. In the book, Annie cuts off his foot but actually I thought this was more traumatizing.
@@iamme25yagoYeah but hes walking at the end of the film, if his foot was cut off he couldn't walk, not to mention all the blood loss and infections a cut foot would cause!
What a great dog Hugo is.
5:26 "Ok, there's something fishy about her."
spidey sense activated
Paul trying to switch from Misery to a different type of novel, like he did with the book Annie burned, mirrors something Stephen King experienced. He had written horror books for a while and suddenly switched to fantasy and wrote a story called "Eyes of the Dragon" that his horror fans HATED. The negative feedback he got on that with terms like "just stick to horror like we love!" were part of the inspiration for some of Misery. So yes, good call by Dasha, this movie/novel are 100% a commentary by Stephen King on his own fans. Well, some of them. :D
interesting, I heard somewhere that the direct inspiration for Misery was Stephen King's substance abuse.
@@thegladve I think quite a few of his works are inspired by his substance abuse. Jack's alcohol abuse in the Shining for one is as direct as it gets.
@@EdAnsbro King HATED the film adaptation of the Shining. Think it was mostly due to the director though if I remember correctly.
@@edmunddantes7097 Yeah, from what I read he respected Kubrick as a film maker, but the changes he made to Jack, King wasn't much a fan of.
To be fair, Eyes of the Dragon was not King’s strongest work. It wasn’t just intolerant fans incapable of change that were critical, tho I’m sure that may have been a factor
Dasha should get an Oscar for her reactions. it is always enjoyable to watch a movie with her
(See's his wounded legs at the beginning) "That wasn't easy to look at!"
Oh, poor sweet Dasha, just wait...
Besides The Exorcist, this is another movie that Hugo helped you through. He's a true friend.
Anyone who knows Dasha well was worried as I was about how she would react to the sledgehammer scene. And sure enough, she didn't "disappoint." That was SOME reaction, the most intense I've seen from her yet.
"Is she gonna cook him?" Couldn't stop laughing when she said that! lol That was hilarious and great video.
2:42 "This is his guardian angel or what?"
definitely "or what" 😆
I'm 41 now, saw this for the first time when I was about 14, and the hobbling scene is still burned into my memory from that time, so I completely understand you saying the same thing.
Yeah, I'm 41 and I remember building a model at a lil workspace I had in living room while my parents watched this on VHS. They probably thought i wasn't watching cuz I was 9 or 10, but I remembered that for years.
Two notable changes from the book. The old police couple was created for the film and was a fantastic choice. The hobling was done with an axe, not a sledge hammer. You can imagine that would have been more difficult to film.
Ah it was lovely how you dog came over to check on you after the hobbling scene! Obviously sensed your distress.
Stupid dog thinks he’s Tom Cruise
I love this movie. And Kathy Bates was phenomenal, IMO. And ANYTHING Stephen King is amazing. Thank you for sharing this with us all.
Dasha, your reaction to Misery was an absolute Joy to watch. You know ... I used to love the reactor part of Dasha, but now I know I love the rest of her too. 🤣🤣🤣
Simp
Aw bless.
👀
21:09 Dasha's response
@@eleventwelves lol
This is one of King’s best books. In it, Annie uses an ax to remove the feet, then torches the stumps. She also runs over a State Trooper with a lawnmower.
Very happy you have Hugo. You can tell he watches out for you. Great reaction !
I love how much you got into the movie. 😄 This movie is really a perfect study in tension.
Paul suffered misery throughout. Acting was great for them all. The sheriff looks a bit like my Dad. Nice to see the concern that your good dog showed for you. They really are a person’s best friend. ❤️
Props, Dasha, for not looking away in the hobbling scene; most _everyone_ does.
You squeaked, but that's 💯 fair.
The director of this movie is famous . He directed : Stand By Me - This Is Spinal Tap - When Harry Met Sally - The Princess Bride . And many more movies. It's nice to hear that you've read some of his books 👌. He did have somewhat of real thing that happened to him and turned into a book. That book was called " CUJO ".
5:00 When I was a kid there was nothing better to get called in for lunch and see a bowl of tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich made by my mom.
I am a pretty good cook, but my grilled cheese and tomato soup doesn't hold a candle to hers. I think it's missing a key ingredient: Mother's love.
Great, now I'm missing my mom.
1:20 long time since I've seen Hugo, nice to see him again. He seems to be such a well behaved dog ( the opposite of our dog, a hyberactiv dog. It's a Dansk-svensk gårdhund, which is a pincher / schnauzer type dog )
Cheers 😊
This is one of the best thrillers out there, like you can feel the race against time. Oh man Dasha during the sledgehammer part ive never heard you scream 😱 like that. Thats a new octave. Love the reaction 👍
So, here's something about the book: In the original novel, Annie Wilkes doesn't break his ankles. She chops off his foot with an ax, and cauterizes the wound with a blowtorch.
That scene was a big reason why screenwriter William Goldman wanted to write the movie - and when they changed the scene, he was *mad*. Eventually, however, he realized that they were right to do so - that (to paraphrase) "if they'd done what I wanted, it would have been too much," that the audience would have hated Annie "and, in time, hated us."
There are those who don't know what hobbling is, and there are those that have watched Misery. A true chilling horror scene and with no blood.
Its much worse on the book. She cuts a foot with an axe and uses a propane torch to cauterize the wound.
Great reaction Dasha 👍🏻
Kathy won an Oscar for her role. James Caan too is superb!!
In local news that evening, reporters tell of a group of dolphins that swam close to the shore and calling to their friend that had been trapped on land. Little do they know it was just Dasha watching a scary part of a movie.
I think Misery was the last novel King planned to write under the name Richard Bachman but the cat got out of the bag before publishing that King and Bachman were the same guy so they just released it under his real name.
@I am me • 25y ago ha that fact is less fun for George I’m sure. I actually just started reading asoiaf, that’s crazy.
I laughed when she says "Is this his guardian angle or what."
Dasha, great reaction, exactly my own reaction when I watched this movie for the first time! Annie Wilkes would probably be called a psychopath in the American psychology classification. A few years ago, on the Hulu platform, they did a Stephen King endorsed series called "Castle Rock". It ran for two seasons. The second season focused on a young Annie Wilkes. The actress they chose did a terrifyingly great job portraying her. If you can find it, you should watch it. If you want, of course.
Dasha: "Call the backup cops for Kathy Bates!" LOL I love you, and you are not wrong. Great reaction. TY!
you are, by far, the best reactor on RUclips. you are the best
How do you judge?
The Mist
24:24 Those squeaks! 🤣
"This is his guardian angel or what" That was so funny. Love your reactions Dasha. Please keep em coming. I'm your #1 fan. 🤣🤣🤣
LMAO "his guardian angel"! I almost choked on my food! lol
Your pooch coming to make sure you were ok during the hobbling scene. A different reaction from you... that intensity really got you going ha ha. Thanks again Dasha :)
@28:52 I remember the entire movie theater audience cheering loudly at this scene.. "eat it you sick, twisted B".
This movie ranked at #12 in 100 scariest movie moments on Bravo, cool reaction as always Dasha, you have a nice day sweetie 🥰❤️
Great reaction. You genuinely felt the pain and fear of the protagonist. Nice one.
Kathy Bates is incredible. Great performance. Stephen King wrote the story when he ran into fans who were a "bit crazy" about being a fan of his books.
A bit of trivia I did not see in a quick browse of the comments. Paul's agent is played by Lauren Becall, a literal QUEEN of the 1940's and film noir. She was the real life wife of Humphrey Bogart, and they met when he was in his 40's and she was 19. They got married and remained married until his death in 1957.
This movie really re-defined what a horror movie was for me. Up until watching this I always thought horror was just cheap ghost movies and slasher movies. I never imagined they could be this dramatic or well acted before. 👏👏👏 Btw, I love how you get so emotionally invested in these movies! 😂👍
One of the few, and well deserved, movies I've seen the audience cheer & applaud when Annie gets hit with the pig, she was *that* hated
I really get a kick out of your reactions. It never ceases to amaze me how astute you are, especially since English is not your native language. Thank you!
24:47 good boy Hugo.
Good boy, Hugo, for checking to see that your Mama was OK during the hobbling scene!! Dasha's scream was so high pitched the glass of water next to my bed exploded! 😄
No matter how great a movie is you make it ten times better.
Oh, poor Hugo. 🥺
I love that he checks on you. 🥹👍
Dom Perignon used to be under Moet & Chandon; the label on the champagne bottle reflected that. Both are now owned by LVMH.
Strike anywhere matches used to be more common, but a number of manufacturers stopped making them for safety reasons (fire and chemical).
Fan is short for fanatic. Annie Wilkes definitely took it to a fanatic level. Maybe a bit beyond that.
Kathy Bates truly earned the Oscar for her performance in Misery.
One thing I remember the difference between the book version and the movie version of Misery. In the book she didn't use a sledgehammer she used to ax on Paul's feet. But it's mostly focusing on what are you going to expect if you meet an abscess die-hard fan.
24:25 Damn that was high piercing AF! I didn't know Dasha could do that.😂🔊
In the novel, she doesn't break both his ankles. She only does one foot, but she uses an ax instead of a sledgehammer.
Hugo was like " what the hell was THAT!!" 😮 lol
The movie was filmed in Genoa, Nevada which doubles for the location of Silver Creek, Colorado which is a mining ghost town. Nice reactions to this tense thriller, Dasha!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
26:22 "When I was praying, God told me to get ready."
"Get ready for what?"
"To be his replacement."
Ah. Well right there, that shows that she's _not_ really a fan. She's something else.
I mean, let's be honest about this. There's the act of _reading_ a given author's work, the act of honing one's skill for emulating their _style,_ and the act of _replacing_ them. The last of these is not _possible._ _Every_ author's style is utterly _unique._ _Every_ author is, as a result, _irreplaceable._
Buster the sheriff is played by Richard Farnsworth. He had a very successful career as a character actor, and he also got great reviews for his starring role in 1982's "The Grey Fox." He plays a gentlemanly stagecoach robber who, after 33 years in prison, finds that the world has changed (stagecoaches are a thing of the past), so he decides to becomes a train robber in Canada. It's a charming and surprisingly romantic movie that you would probably love.
I’m so happy you watched this!😬
It’s a crazy one I’m surprised you hadn’t seen it on your channel sooner, I can never keep track of which reactors have seen what movies. But this is a classic thriller, everyone should watch it at least once in their lives..
Hugo is such a good pup checking in on you to make sure you are okay..
The movie is set somewhere in New England (Northeast part of the country, right below Canada). Back away from the big cities on the coast like Boston. Steven King has lived out in the country in Maine most of his life, the setting is definitely not a coincidence.
24:54 "Hugo is my moral support. 😄"
😏 Hugo is a good dog.
Hugo is the boss. "I know what she's gonna do"... Hugo" what's up mom?". Mariah Carey scream!!!! Hugo" I'm here you're safe. Now let me and calm down."
24:33 aw , good doggo came to make sure you were alright
Great reaction video. It’s was awesome to see your dog come check on you!
Dasha, do you remember Rick from Casablanca? The woman playing the literary agent here was the wife of the actor that played Rick. Here is a short clip of them together in a movie: ruclips.net/video/i9Ay727EYzw/видео.html
My brother named his daughter after her.
We have a lot of snowfall in many parts of the United States. Our country has all climates. ❤ And yes, it's incredible how her character could change at the drop of a hat, and apparently a lot of serial killers have a strange code of morality like refusing to swear, but being willing to kill babies like in her case. Sir Anthony Hopkins said in an interview when talking about his role as Hannibal Lecter that the best portrayal of a mad person he'd ever seen was from Kathy Bates as Annie Wilkes in Misery.
I love ya, girl. But I can't watch this movie again. I'm not squeamish but the damn tension from knowing what's coming is too much. I was reading it in my classes after I finished my final exams before graduation since we couldn't leave until the bell rang. My teachers could tell from their desks that the book was getting to me. 😄
When King originally conceived the idea of MISERY, he thought it would be a short story: A writer is trapped in the house of his Number One Fan, Annie, and "Annie would demand that Paul write another novel about his plucky continuing character, Misery Chastain, one just for her. After first demurring, Paul would of course agree (a psychotic nurse, I thought, could be very persuasive.) Annie would tell him she intended to sacrifice her beloved pig, Misery, to this project. MISERY'S RETURN would, she'd say, consist of but one copy: a holographic manuscript bound in pigskin!
"Here we'd fade out, I thought, and return to Annie's remote Colorado retreat six or eight months later for the surprise ending.
"Paul is gone, his sickroom turned into a shrine to Misery Chastain, but Misery the pig is still very much in evidence, grunting serenely away in her sty beside the barn. On the walls of the 'Misery Room' are book covers, stills from the Misery movies, pictures of Paul Sheldon, perhaps a newspaper headline reading 'FAMED ROMANCE NOVELIST STILL MISSING'. In the center of the room, carefully spotlighted, is a single book on a small table [...] It is the Annie Wilkes edition of MISERY'S RETURN. The binding is beautiful, and it should be: it is the skin of Paul Sheldon. And Paul himself? His bones might have been buried behind the barn, but I thought it likely that the pig would have eaten the tasty parts."
However, once he started writing it, he found that "Paul Sheldon turned out to be a good deal more resourceful than I initially thought, and his efforts to play Scheherazade and save his life gave me a chance to say some things about the redemptive power of writing that I had long felt but never articulated." He also felt that "Anne turned out to be more complex than I'd first imagined her," was "great fun to write about", and that "[i]n the end, I felt that Annie was almost as much to be pitied as to be feared."
That wasn't easy to look at!! So that wasn't easy to look at when his legs were badly bruised at the beginning!!
Wonder what Dasha will be doing when the hobbling scene happens???
Dasha thanks for noticing how it’s born easy to pick a lock, especially with a hair pin. I’m a locksmith & show up to lockouts & people think it takes two seconds because of movies!
2:42 Yeah... Leaning away from 'Angel' and more towards his 'what'
Love the reaction Dasha! Always enjoyed your channel. I'm your number one fan! 😁
Is there anyway you could stay reacting all day ? I would watch all day
Fantastic as always little Dasha from Russia you amazing pure perfection. 😇🐈🙃🙂💐🦋
Years before this movie came out I read the book and believe me the book is much more gruesome. He's called the KING of horror for a reason........On a side note, I've been watching your (Dasha) channel for awhile now and I can't help but notice how much your English has improved. Far better than my Spanish! :)
Great reaction, Dasha! Love you!
“Is she a guardian angel or what?”
“What.”
24:41 good dog
Her dog is like "ok, that's enough. Turn it off."
Fun fact many of Stephen King's novels are based on nightmares that he's had. Being a writer himself I have to think that this must be one of them.
Another great reaction! I love your remarks and personality as a reactor Dasha, you seem so sweet and nice! Looking forward to more videos!!!
Another claustrophobic thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat and where the protagonist is confined inside a room is WAIT UNTIL DARK. With the lovely Audrey Hepburn. You’ll feel her helplessness, her being trapped.
Through a series of events in the prologue, a doll ends up in a blind woman’s basement apartment. It is stuffed with heroin and three crooks want it. What starts as a hustle gradually evolved into a nail biting battle of wits. And there is a jump scare in the climax; makes your heart leap out of your chest like Misery.
