yayyyy😊
Yay!!! Can't wait for your reaction to this film!!
Hey Nick just as a suggestion for future reactions, I would like to see you react to Cyberpunk Edgerunners and She-Ra and The Princesses of Power on Netflix.
I’m glad you caught up with the first enchanted movie last year I guess.

Leo really deserved an Oscar for this role.
The love to rob deserving people.
Johnny too

Agreed 100%
@@KrystalAnn0688 Johnny Depp is one of the very best actors we still have today and he has never won an Oscar.
He definitely did!!!
This movie made me sad and mad at the mom for expecting her other kids to raise Arnie. Gilbert had so much put on him, the stress got to him. Johnny Depp did an outstanding job. I love your reactions Nick you’re beautiful!
Gilbert sacrifices so much for his family..the frustrations of the family build on his shoulders. Gilbert can’t control himself when he hits Arnie because of that pressure. The girl, the cheating wife, the dead husband, the house, his mother, the cake, the bath. It’s crazy.
Like viona in shameless the older siblings step up and don't get the credit they deserve.
I would crack under all of that pressure if it was left on my shoulders. It'd be too much stress put on one person.
R.I.P. to Darlene Cates, who played Momma. She passed away just a few years ago. Everyone who knew her genuinely loved her and she was a great actress.
Yeah she was a great actress, I think this was her first film aswel.
@@Belladonna313 ya it was she did a tv show before
What’s sad though is that she dies in her sleep in the movie, and she died in her sleep in real life😭 so I get extra emotional when I watch this movie.
Never apologise for feeling empathy. We need more of that emotion now than ever. Excellent reaction again.
His brother Larry didn't die. "He got away" and it shows his graduation picture. He means he managed to leave town.
As a 14 year old I decided to give this movie a watch despite not liking adult dramas at all and it absolutely moved me
I was 13 and I found this the best movie I've seen.
They burned the home with the mom in it so she wasn't a spectacle by moving the body with a crane and the whole town watching.
I can relate to Gilbert for hitting Arnie. I am mostly a good person, but I'm not perfect. I have gotten so angry that I lost control and took my aggression out on people who didn't deserve it. I regret those mistakes immediately, but I get so scared of the consequences that the only thing I want to do is run away...hoping I never have to face them again. But I realize eventually I have to. And I have to live with a long list of mistakes I made, and people I hurt...and I only hope that whatever I do from now on might be able to make it up to them.
No hate intended but seriously get theraphy.
I had a father who behaved like you and that shit left me with PTSD and a whole host of other issues. No one is perfect but hitting people is pretty much never okay. It is also something you can learn to stop doing.
Please get yourself help.
Juliet Lewis ( the young girl) has literally worked with every actor/actress in Hollywood. I mean seriously just go and look at her IMDb. She has incredible acting ability.
@@mad6676 That's when I noticed how great she is. "WHOA" that little girl just stole a scene from Robert Niro (at the school).
Definitely! Have you seen blueberry renegade?
Natural born killers?
Her father was awesome too.
Geoffrey Bond Lewis (July 31, 1935 - April 7, 2015) was an American character actor. He appeared in more than 200 films and television shows, and was principally known for his film roles alongside Clint Eastwood and Robert Redford. He typically portrayed villains or quirky characters. He played a bodyguard in the Jean-Claude van Damme film Double Impact.
My favorite scene is when Becky and Gilbert's mother meet and she has that one great line that just let's her be seen and heard "well I haven't always been like this" such a beautiful character
Leonardo dicrapio acting in this movie is insanely good and the fact that he was 19 in this movie is crazy to me, he looks like he was 15 (not that huge of a difference but still very crazy to me)
He was 18.. it was filmed Dec 92
I think Gilbert letting the kid peek at his mom was just a little passive aggression on his part. He'd sacrificed so much in his young life because she was incapacitated by her weight. He loved her, and wanted to protect her. But sometimes keeping that open secret just got to be too much and he was acting out. He's an awesome guy, awesome brother, awesome son, but still human.
Darlene Cates who played the mama was a really great actress. She was also in this really weird movie that's sometimes called Wolf Girl and sometimes called BloodMoon. But it had Tim Curry and Grace Jones in it.
P.S. Unrelated to this, I just saw Disenchanted yesterday. You're gonna love it!
This movie is an emotional rollercoaster and touches my heart very much, I'm so happy you're reacting to it!
I loved how they burnt the house with their mother in it. They didn't want all the stares from the circus that would of been created from moving her.
3:17 I don’t think Larry died, he just moved away as soon as he could 👨🏽🎓🚘
It is a very emotional film. Just knowing that there are families out there like this and even worse off is so depressing... accolades all around for the actors and actresses, they each did a great job. Especially Leo. He portrayed the character so well.
"You're my knight in shimmering armour"
My favorite line in this movie. ❤️
Your emotional response when the mother dies was very moving. It brought me to tears as well. Watching them set the house on fire with their mother’s body still inside was heartbreaking. So relieved they ended the film on a happy note.
i think the older sister did the cooking, cleaning and all the things like that. and the younger sister was only fifteen and struggling with growing up without a dad etc and taking her frustration out on arnie. leos acting is so good that when i saw it when i was young i thought that he had special needs!
About Leo's acting, I read (or heard) that a lot of people thought he had special needs for real after seeing the movie and were shocked when they saw interviews etc and realized it was all acting. I'm not a big fan of him as an actor, but I think this is his best performance in this movie.
@Lily27636 this and titanic were two of his best performances imo
I watched this in English class in school. This was such a great film!
I saw this on Netflix.
Love this movie, it's really emotional but the story itself is so good!
Haven't seen this movie in years, excited to watch it again.
this movie is heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. leonardo did an amazing job, especially at such a young age! but imo johnny did an excellent job too and this is one of my fav roles of him, because it shows another side of his talent that has nothing to do with his most famous characters
Such an amazing movie (and cast) that so many haven't seen let alone heard of. Leonardo DiCaprio did a lot of research for his role and definitely deserved an Oscar for it.
They burned the house down because they didn't want their mom to be a joke by having to be taken out of the house. They did it out of respect for her.
Love your genuine reactions 💙
Leo should have gotten an Oscar for this. This movie is so amazing, so many feelings. It's odd to see both Johnny and Leo so young haha 😆
Sometimes I forget how incredible Pre Pirate Depp can be in films and Leo wow he’s always been great, thanks again and good to see you
Yes! U picked the right movie! One of my top 5 favorites
I love this movie! Classic!
The fact that they burned the house with her inside instead of making a spectacle of them removing her body always made me cry like a baby. Especially when you think of the beginning scene when Gilbert didn’t really care. My husband and I still say “where’s Arnie?!” all the time. Such a great movie.
One of Leonardo DiCaprio's first movies is This Boys Life. It's really disturbing as is his movie Basketball Diaries. A fun but another eclectic movie for Johnny Depp is Benny and Joon. It would be fun to see a reaction to it. I don't believe it's a movie that has been reacted to much if at all.
My reaction to this movie was the same as yours. This movie shows what mental health diseases can do to a person and their family members. I grew up in a home similar to this. My mom was a single mother of 5 children. Her 1st husband passed away, leaving her with 4 small children. Four years later she married my father but he turned out to be an abuser. She didn't marry again until I was around 28 but that didn't last because she struggled for years with major depression. He didn't understand it, so he left her. People didn't have an understanding of how devastating mental health diseases can be back then. I'm glad you watched this.
Sensational movie!! Absolutely loved your reaction & how raw you just are with your emotions! Leo did an absolute fantastic job & deserves an award still to this day for this character performance! Definitely check out more of his movies because he is an outstanding actor!!
I’ve watched this film probably a dozen times or more. It always takes me on an emotional roller coaster. Watching you react in the same way solidifies the depth of this movie. Such a beautifully acted and written story.
Its been a long time since I saw this one, but i loved it a lot. Thanks for another amazing reaction ❤️
I love your reaction to one of my favorite movies. Dont apologize for crying, it shows what a good heart you have.
Such lovely reactions. So glad I found your channel!
This is one of my favorite movies of all time, so glad you're watching it!!
Your reaction is so genuine, it's really beautiful to see your emotion
Your reactions are so raw. I'm completely hooked.
My all time favorite movie.
This was the first movie i got introduced to the gorgeous and talented mr depp🤗
Nick....EVERYONE is emotional with this movie, you do not have to feel apologetic at all! We understand, believe me! 🤣 You don't have to feel that way ever about ANY movie, but definitely not THIS one! I haven't seen this in years, it was really great revisiting it with you. PS: I'm with you: although I like him, I'm not always knocked out by Leo (I find him miscast in most of his Scorsese collabs) but I 'll be the first to say that he can be truly fantastic. Definitely his two Tarantino movies, definitely Revolutionary Road, and DEFINITELY these early movies, like "This Boy's Life" (amazing, with De Niro) and definitely THIS movie. He's incredible in this one. ("Marvin's Room", also, which came out in '96 and has an incredible cast).
I just saw this movie for the tenth time, and I looked up on RUclips: **reactions to this movie**
Omg I HAVEN’T EVEN WATCHED THE VIDEO yet but the fact that my fave RUclips reactor HAS REACTED TO THIS MOVIE!!
Nick, you’re such a king. Love ya
By the way, Nick, you should check out The Outsiders. It’s a very good movie, with a couple sad parts of course.
You weren't going to get much out of Gilbert because he found it hard to get into a relationship as far as the love story goes. He found himself with the married woman because his family kept him from having real relationships. He gave his life for his family. And flipped his lid a few times. He deserved a beautiful soul like Becky. He burned the house to save his mother's dignity. The sisters were old enough tp go it alone together l, they all decided. I love your reaction. This is my favorite movie. How could you not cry lol, it was heartbreakingly beautiful! Imperfect people, life.... awesome.
It's hard raising a special needs kid. The high level of patience you have to acquire to raise the child who is not like any other children is hard. You know they can't help themselves when they act the way they do and everyone has their breaking point. My husband is autistic and while he's high functioning, his parents had a hard time raising him when he would have his moments.
Love this movie, so glad you reacted to it. Really enjoyed it!
The Grape children were parentified to the max. It's such a sad movie.
I'll always remember the small conversation me and my mom had when i first watched this movie 6 years ago with her. She told me about how she truly believed Leonardo Dicaprio had autism when this movie first came out. And when finding out he doesn't, she knew right then and there that he was gonna be an amazing actor in the long run.
The ending is very bittersweet considering they burned down the house where their dead mother laid so that she wouldn't be a joke of the town if they were to have a crane get her out. This movie is truly underrated. ❤️
Oh I'm so excited this is a great film and has 3 of my actor crushes, Leo, Crispin Glover and of course, my man since 2003, Johnny Depp 💟💟💟 I love him so much and he's so young here! Such a versatile and talented actor as well as a sweet, strange man. I saw this in middle school during the height of my post-Titanic Leo obsession and would watch it with my family kow and then. After seeing the 1st Pirates film I got it back out cuz of Johnny. Thanks for doing a reaction to this very special, highly underrated film 💜 The book is good as well.
as the price of the cake reference : this movie takes place in the early 90s, not in 1968, and the cake was likely a rush order, it was fairly large, so yeah that was near the ranges of what a rushed order bakery cake would cost.
41:33 Oft times when morbidly obese people die in their homes, it has happened in the past that walls are removed, picture windows are removed and cranes used as their weight exceeds limits of normal and safe capacity of either medical equipment or human strength. The officer on the radio that mentioned calling in the National Guard wasn't being rude, it was just poor timing that the family heard it. The National Guard would have a crane or equipment that would be better suited for the removal of the body more than some podunk country town that's got nothing but a handful of cops and no heavy equipment. Doing these things isn't to shame or embarrass the deceased or the family but is merely a matter of physics.
That is why Gilbert and his sisters burned the house down. Their mother was still in the house upstairs in the bed. Rather than their final moment with her be a spectacle for the neighbors to watch while they extricate her from the house for everyone and maybe even the News to see, they chose to burn it down as a funeral pyre and spare themselves and their mother's memory the embarrassment.
This^ ^ He seemed to totally not get the ending tbh.
Sidenote: Imo it was actually a good thing the family heard what was said on the radio. Otherwise they may not have realized what a shit show 3 ring circus moving her body was going to be until it was too late. At least knowing in advance gave them the opportunity to take care of their Momma on their own terms.
I've seen this a few times growing up. So depressing because stories like this happens all the time in small towns going under like mine. If you're open to any suggestions for another movie like this, I would recommend either Mask with Cher or Fried Green Tomatoes with Kathy Bates.
I second Fried Green Tomatoes, I love that movie!
Omg nick stop that is my favorite movie ever because it’s my favorite movie yayyyy I just saw Tim react to that movie so good luck nick
I love this movie it's very incredible and fantastic and epic. Amazing reaction Nick.
This movie is so amazing, some of the best acting I’ve ever seen and my favorite Decaprio role.
You don't have to apologize for crying. I've seen this at least ten times and it still makes me cry. This is a beautiful, intelligent, honest, GREAT movie.
Leonardo's acting in this really got me appreciating him. Heck, everyone in this movie did a great job, and the story is like a snapshot of a time long ago. I can't really say why, but it's a really special movie. Possibly my favorite Johnny Depp movie ever!
the ''other brother'' got away because he graduated and left, as insinuated from the picture.
I was waiting for Leo to win an Oscar ever since this movie came out. It took a long time. Johnny still doesn't have one.
True classic movie. One of my favorites with Stand by me, Milk and Dead poet society.
Leonardo DiCaprio is not my favorite actor, but I think he was brilliant in this part and I think it's the best acting he's ever done.
He studied for this role by spending a lot of time with people with disabilities like severe autism, taking note of their mannerisms and speech patterns and replicating them very effectively. They also had him wear a mouthpiece to change his appearance/talking. The transformation is really amazing, I forget who got the Oscar instead but Leo was definitely more deserving.
He's the best
I remember watching this movie on Netflix months ago and I actually enjoyed it.
Leo is amazing in this.
I can’t believe people used to react this way to someone of her size. Nowadays it’s yep, we all see ppl like this on tv and irl. Just shows where we are health wise...
Please watch I Am Sam one day. It’s such an emotional story. Young Dakota Fanning and Sean Penn give such amazing performances, everyone in that movie are phenomenal. I cried from beginning to end
Love your channel. You should watch "Mask" (1989 with Cher). This is based on a true story.
I discovered this movie at a time when I wasn't really mature enough to grasp just how emotionally heavy it truly was, but hopefully I can revisit it sometime
For now I can enjoy it with one of my favorite reactors
This movie falls in the category of, "ya know, I haven't seen ___________ in a while. I should watch it!" insert crying uncontrollably "oh yea, that's why".
I was hoping you expressed what you thought of Leo’s acting in this movie at the end, but you seemed to enjoy the movie pretty well. I enjoyed your reaction as well.
@NickFlix your tears are justified. This movie is beautiful & heartbreaking 💔
Leo was incredible, I think they did show the sisters dynamic well.... the older one was like Johnny Dep, she had to cook all the food and take care of the mom, the younger one, was self centered, and disconnected. The older kids must have been with Mom when she was still somewhat of a parent, the two younger ones were raised by the two older kids.......
This is the first movie ever to make me shed tears. The ending with the mom, too much.😢
I did not expect this video to happen. Also, I’m writing this right before I start watching the video. I hope it goes well, and it does just got to get a feel of emotions from this video, and I’m just going to say Leo is the best part of this film, including Depp movies are just emotional. That’s all I can say about it, so I can’t wait to see what you think about it and hope everything goes well.
Read the book! There is so much more to the story. One of my favorite films. Leo was 18, only got paid 75,000 for this part and didn't win the Oscar he so deserved. He is brilliant. To study for the film, he spent weeks with special needs children so he really could nail the part. Also, Johnny had to say many times in the movie how fat his mother was and that she was a whale and every time they would cut the scene he would go and apologize to her and tell her that he was so sorry that he had to say that. Such a sweet film.
BTW- Johnny had to say many times in the movie how fat his mother was and that she was a whale and every time they would cut the scene he would go and apologize to her and tell her that he was so sorry that he had to say that.
BTW- the oldest sister Amy got a job in De Moines, Iowa, and she took Ellen with her. ❤
While I haven’t seen the fugitive and I do love Tommy lee jones, DiCaprio DEFINITELY deserved the Oscar for this role.
Leo was nominated for both a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for his role in this movie. Some of the first of many nominations and awards he'd get.
i saw this a couple years after it came out, i loved it , still a great movie. when did you watch the full movie ?
you should do the basketball diaries. remarkable film. you might need to edit that hell out of that one though. best leo movie ever
Wait a minute even American dad somehow American dad referencing that
In the episode where it’s about the squirrels we’re the parody of those characters and say the same lines from that movie where mom dies and when guy said we can go anywhere
He’s burning the house out of respect for his mom. They don’t want to make a spectacle out of it when they try to get her out of the house with machinery
I watched this as a teen and enjoyed it, I'm 43 now and have 2 autistic teens. Hits different now. I can say Leo acting is SPOT ON! He must have spent a lot of time, with kids with autism.
This actually hits hard because there was a women on the street I live on who had to be cut outta the house to get to the hospital
i will die on the hill that leo deserved that oscar win. seriously this was a crime that he didn't get it
This movie is so underrated. Real movie😊
One of my favorite movies and always make me cry. I kinda feel I'm a Gilbert grape
Honestly I never cared about Leo’s acting until I saw this and then also him in Catch Me If You Can
Such an emotional movie but I love it so much
I remember when I saw this movie for the first time. I was sad when the mom died.
Amazing reaction to a beautiful film! Please react to Benny and Joon! You’ll love it!
Such a Good Movie!
You might like The Man In The Iron Mask. Leonardo DiCaprio is great in it. Other well known actors. (Not spoiler) Has the Musketeers in it.
Disenchanted YES😃😃😃😃😃😃
I enjoyed watching the sequel yesterday.
41:34 i think actually its a matter of collecting the insurance money, because they don't have enough income on just Gilbert's salary
this movie always makes me sob bro😭
This film has so much depth.
30:52 The story doesn't take place in 1968 (?), it takes place around 1990..... The death date on the dad's gravestone was 1978.
Leo was amazing in this .
Dewey Cox was so good in this film.
I have my tissues ready 🤧
