The symbolism is intense. When he says "home free" and at first chooses to let go of revenge, he's bathed in light. But he goes dark again when he chooses to go back. And it's his shadow that gives him away in the end. A shadow that only betrayed him because he was walking away from light and toward darkness.
It's not just visual symbolism at play. When Neil meets Edie the background music is as tense as it has been in the buildup of the movie, then it silences when he realies she's not a threat, then the music grows warmer as their night progresses.
@@journeymariereacts You seem very perceptive, understanding and more importantly FAIR.... Continue to cultivate those traits and they'll take you far.... Or at the very least keep you from making detrimental decisions/mistakes
That part I find really interesting because you can see he wants to just leave with Edey, but then the emotion on his face kind of suggests he wanted to avenge Trejo and his team group and he couldn't walk away from that. You can tell that he has inner turmoil and anger and sadness which causes him to go after Waingro. He wanted vengeance and perhaps the thought of mourning his dead friends without avenging them was what caused his decision.
@@journeymariereacts If you think Natalie Portman is a baby here, you should watch her in The Professional; an exceptional classic movie. Also, Heat to this day has the best shootout of any movie, EVER. It has a firefight with no dialogue that lasts for a good while. Val Kilmer's reloading sequence in the end was hailed by the US military (The marines or Navy Seals I can't remember which one).
Hands down, the best cops and robbers movie ever. An unbelievable cast, with 4 Oscar winners among them, directed by the masterful Michael Mann, with a HAUNTING musical score. DeNiro and Pacino's first scene together in a film. They were each in Godfather 2, but were in different timelines, and never 'met'. The gunfight is the greatest Ive ever seen. 95 was a superb year for films, including The Usual Suspects, which you should see next. Looking back now, Heat was probably the best movie that year. A year that had Braveheart win the Oscar over Apollo 13, Casino, Leaving Las Vegas, etc. This is an all time, capital G, great film.
I love how this movie perfectly depicts a firefight. Especially at the beginning of the fight when they exited the bank, Val Kilmer immediately engaged the feds. Didn't waste no time.
I always get emotional at the end, I had a soft spot for DeNiro’s character and that piece of music at the end is called God Moving Over the Face of the Waters by Moby. So beautiful! Great reaction! ❤
I remember seeing Heat and Casino in the same year when they came out..I was so hyped!! Marie, you got to check out Robert De Niro in "A Bronx Tale" and Al Pacino in "Carlito's Way"!!
You should watch Collateral. It's by the same director. Kinda a spiritual sequel to this movie. Crime drama, same city. Tom Cruise & Jamie Foxx. You'd like it.
@@thedudebryan98 I don't know about Miami Vice...didn't see it due to poor reviews. Public Enemies was a miss, IMO. Filming a period piece in high def was just a bonehead mistake.
With your lastest reactions you hittin on all 10s shorty. Heat is probably one of the greatest crime dramas in cinema history. Pacino and Deniro had great chemistry in this film its unmatched.
This is maybe my favorite film of all time, and the music at the end, when Vince is holding Neil's hand so he isn't alone while he dies, is my favorite piece of music. It's called "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters," the composer is Moby (who scored a few other tracks for this movie), and I think it perfectly captures Vince's feelings as he stands vigil over the one person who understood him most in this life so he doesn't have to die alone.
Also don’t forget with the 30 seconds line he couldn’t leave his friend either when he got shot in the neck. . So that shows you he did care for his friends and with the driver I’m sure the boss played a part but you know it’s hard for convicts to get jobs that help provide in the world so I think it was more so that.
You are one of the first reactors to this movie to Tear up at the very end when they hold each others hand, it use to anger me that nobody else got emotional at that moment cause I think it’s one of the most emotional moments of the entire movie because of what you said, it’s such a HUMAN moment between the 2 of them, yes they are adversaries but there was also a level of respect between them and deep down in another life they definitely would have been friends because of how similar they are just on different sides of the law…. Great reaction as always 👍🏼👍🏼
Beautiful movie, while i was watching the movie with you, i understand it in a diferent way, the profund themes of this movie, another appreciation to it. Thanks for the reaction.
Really beautiful reaction to a really painful movie. Great editing. I like this kind of composition in reactions, with just your room and the movie in the corner. I'm glad the YT algorithm recommended you! Keep up the good work!!
Your channel came up on my screen and I saw JAWS so I checked out your reaction. I took a look at what you react to and I saw you did THE GODFATHER so I will watch that next. Just subscribed and, if I may, I'd like to make a suggestion. I know reactors dont usually take youtube watchers suggestions (they only listen to their patreon) but i think you'll like these movies. 1) FATAL ATTRACTION (1987) starring Michael Douglas and Glenn Close. It was huge hit and where JAWS made everyone afraid of the water, FATAL ATTRACTION made men afraid to cheat. Great Thriller! 2) Joy Ride (2001) starring Paul Walker and Steve Zahn. Another great Thriller!!! Thanks😊 PS I see you just watched HEAT. I haven't seen that one but I've seen pretty much all other Pacino movies. I would recommend Pacino in SCENT OF A WOMAN. Great movie!
"What is this, therapy?" 🤣🤣🤣 Yo, I enjoy your reactions, been enjoying your channel in general, but this!!! If you had said nothing else through the whole movie but that one quote, it would've been worth it. That was gold!!! 😂
Michael Mann makes beautiful films. Even if you don't do them for your channel, definitely watch his two previous works Thief and Manhunter. They both feed into this masterpiece with the themes of the psychology of the ex-con and the trauma of law enforcement work. Also, the movie Bullitt (classic Steve McQueen) inspires some of the themes and the actual scenes in Heat. The line "It ain't for you, Baby" from Bullitt could just as easily be spoken by Hanna to his wife.
Another fantastic reaction. Another movie that I only watch certain reactions of, and this was possibly my favorite. in fact, you made me like the movie more than I already did!!! As far as Pacino: "Dog Day Afternoon" and "Donnie Brasco" are two of his absolute top performances (Dog Day Afternoon is a true crime story and Donnie Brasco is a true mob story!). And De Niro: "The King Of Comedy"! And "Midnight Run"! There are lots of De Niro to recommend, but those two are ones I definitely think you'll like. THANKS, JOURNEY MARIE!!!!! (I managed to write a short comment this time! Woo-hoo!! :D)
Yea de Niro was lonely and while dying felt Pacino was the only person he connected with since they were opposite sides of the same coin I know everyone gives out tons of random movie suggestions but point break is a great adrenaline filled bank robbery movie with Keanu and swayze
kudos to you Marie on understanding that DeNiro (Neal) SAVED Eady by running away from her at the end. You were spot on in your assessment. I've seen several people react to this film and it seems like most of them think he abandoned her, when in reality he saved her life because he cared for her so much. She would have been an accessory (and possibly also killed) had he tried to get out with her once the police and Pacino spotted him with her. I saw this when it was out in the theater and I was actually living in L.A. as well. It was surreal because I knew where many of the filming locations were. I've actually eaten at the restaurant/deli that Neal (DeNiro) first meets Eady at. Heat is a great film. Since you liked this I would suggest checking out Thief (1981). Michael Mann also directed it, and it's sort of a precursor (as far as the plot line goes) to Heat (which incidentally is is a remake of Mann's TV Movie L.A. Takedown). Thief isn't quite as strong as Heat, but its a very good film in its own right. It stars James Caan, and without giving too much away (again) the plot line is similar to Heat. I always felt that because Thief (1981) didn't do very well at the box office that Mann decided to try it again (type of plot line) with the TV Movie L.A. Takedown, and then finally one last time with Heat (the remake of L.A. Takedown) with big name actors and a huge budget. If you watch Thief (1981) I think you'll understand why I have this theory. And "L.A. Takedown used to be on RUclips, though it may have been taken down. If so you might be able to find it on Tubi. Spoiler Alert: in L.A. Takedown the character of Eady doesn't go with Neal at the end like she does in Heat. Mann changed this part for Heat.
Great movie all the way through, but the coffee shop scene and the holding hand scene at the end of the movie really raised it up a few levels - absolute masterpiece
If i remember correctly the military uses the bank heist scene as an example how to fight as a pair? Im not from the US but i "heard" it was teached in some branch of the military.. someone will surely correct me :) In the finnish army we start training with pairs then squads then platons etc and that scene is very realistic.
Johnny Depp was also considered for the role, but he priced himself out. Don Johnson & Tony Danza were also considered for Cherrito after Michael Madsen turned it down, which later went to his longtime friend, Tom Sizemore (RIP).
I have seen a few of your other reactions and I commend you for the very keen observations and comments you make. Vincent was right when he said "I'm not what you want, Justine". I've been there before.By the way, I just became a new subscriber 🤠
Did you know a year after the release of The Godfather II in 1974, Al Pacino and Fredo (John Cazale) were in another movie together called Dog Day Afternoon. It is about three friends robbing a bank in Brooklyn when everything goes wrong. Another good Pacino movie that not many talks about is The Devil's Advocate (1997) and you could say the same for Robert DeNiro in the hidden gem Midnight Run (1988) where DeNiro plays a former Chicago cop turned bounty hunter after he refuses to get involved with the Mob.
You’re smart, you caught on to all the nuances in this film, didn’t miss a beat. You had some good insights about the characters as well. This is definitely one of the best crime drama ever made, just absolutely exceptional.
And really, to get a better understanding of Michael Mann and how he directs and his movies, u have to go all the way back to Thief with James Caan, then jump back to what started all the CSI type shows, Manhunter. That movie is the second of the Hannibal lecktor movies, but in this one he plays a part. The first tiny mention of Lector in a movie is, Dressed to Kill, by Brian DePalma. But in Manhunter, he plays a vital part, and that and Thief, will get u to Michael Mann, and Heat. Hank azaria is the blonde chick side guy. He does most voices on,The Simpsons and was great in The Bird Cage. Natalie's first role was in, the professional! Van zant actor is a guy that's been in so many movies! The Dark Knight, Blackhawk Down and the cult classic, Go! The cop who gets killed during the bank job, was the killer in Silence of the Lambs.😮😮. DeNiros long haired info guy is John voight. Terrific long time actor, in midnight cowboy, Catch 22, Enemy of the State, and first Mission Impossible! And dad of Anjolina Jolie!
Best reaction to HEAT i have seen. You picked up on the human elements of the story, and saw from all characters unique point of view. Not black and white but everybody is grey like in real life. Except for Waingro of course; zero redeeming qualities.
Going after Waingro was Neil’s downfall. On any other day, he never woulda gone after him, as it was spontaneous. It went against the discipline structure he set up for himself
@Techno Pirate he caught feelings for Eady, in which, once again, went against his rigid structure of not having any attachments. Obviously he was close with Michael and Chris (even more with Chris; he convinced Chris’ wife to give him another shot, even though it was also to get his head right or he woulda been useless for the heist), but the fact that Chris was the only one to make it out alive and not look back (remember when Neil said “don’t go home. Don’t go back. Nothing. In 30 seconds flat, we go our separate ways) demonstrated to me that both were ready to detached from each other at the drop of a hat. While Waingro is responsible for the heist going wrong (Brandon and Michael ended up dead in the gunfight, along with Trejo put out of his misery by Neil after Waingro shot him up), I believe that the crew knew that this was gonna be it for them, as far as them being a unit after the heist.
Not a true story but the Pacino and DeNiro characters were based on real detective and criminal. They really did have the coffee shop conversation and I believe the cop ended up shooting him. Great flick, and I believe Michael Mann has recently confirmed a sequel.
Check out Taxi Driver starring Robert DeNiro if you haven't. Also The Deer Hunter with him. Especially Taxi Driver though. I just subscribed too btw. You're crankin out some great reactions!
I like this movie so much that I bought a DVD of it just to keep. Also I read that the Robert Deniro & Al Pacino characters were based on a real criminal & cop.
27:29 He knew. He even imagined Alpa in bed instead of her. "F' Alpa..." he musta thought to himself. Then he turns on the man's television. 😁 I know he doesn't look like the type, but...
I felt same way about the two main characters at the end, I just couldn't decide for either side and simply enjoyed the acting performance, regardless of the outcome of duel. "Heat" is undoubtedly a masterpiece, it's just a shame not all of the supporting actors were recognized for their performance. Natalie Portman made it, of course, but just take Kim Staunton, the actress who played Donald's wife and who - when she heard about his death on TV - you couldn't tell she was acting, but saw in her eyes the full conviction her husband had died, that was simply a breathtaking performance. Unfortunately, as far as I know, this didn't lead to much bigger roles, at least I saw her later only once in series like "Law & Order" and "This is Us", also in the movie "Changing Lanes" (2002), but unfortunately that was it and probably there just shouldn't be more in it. Btw, Al Pacino had another important role in the movie "Devil's Advocate" (1997) with Keanu Reeves & Charlize Theron, which I can only recommend at this point. Back in the 90's there were countless discussions about who played the devil better, Pacino or Nicholson, who also gave a terrific performance in "The Witches of Eastwick" (1987), which I would award "second place" to.
This bank robbery scene was epic when this movie came out. I can’t remember if this inspired or was inspired by the North Hollywood bank heist. DeNiro’s character was inspired by an actual bank robber and the scene where they just walked from a job because of a noise really happened.
One of the best movies of all time, the conversation between De Niro and Pacino is legendary.
And especially that amazing ending. One of the greatest films for sure.
The conversation is by a script writer. And how many films are "one of the best of all time"?
The symbolism is intense. When he says "home free" and at first chooses to let go of revenge, he's bathed in light. But he goes dark again when he chooses to go back. And it's his shadow that gives him away in the end. A shadow that only betrayed him because he was walking away from light and toward darkness.
Wow thanks for breaking that down🙏🏼
It's not just visual symbolism at play. When Neil meets Edie the background music is as tense as it has been in the buildup of the movie, then it silences when he realies she's not a threat, then the music grows warmer as their night progresses.

Another Al Pacino movie that you should react to, is Carlito's Way
Don't forget Donnie Brasco another mob classic
Yes. Please do a reaction to Carlito's Way! After that watch the B movie prequel Carlito's Way: Rise to Power which may be the better movie.
Amazing film indeed.
I love how this movie perfectly depicts a firefight. Especially at the beginning of the fight when they exited the bank, Val Kilmer immediately engaged the feds. Didn't waste no time.
The Batman
I always get emotional at the end, I had a soft spot for DeNiro’s character and that piece of music at the end is called God Moving Over the Face of the Waters by Moby. So beautiful! Great reaction! ❤

I loveeee a bronx tale!! & that’s on my list👌🏻
17:36 - Never let the audience know what you'll do next ~ Marlon Brando
... and De Niro was so damn good at that.
The end of this film makes everyone emotional. I have seen HEAT dozens of times and I still tear up at the end of the movie.
I've always loved this movie. That conversation over coffee in the diner and the end scene are both just so great.
You should watch Collateral. It's by the same director. Kinda a spiritual sequel to this movie. Crime drama, same city. Tom Cruise & Jamie Foxx. You'd like it.
It’s trash compared to HeAt🤷♂️
@@thaistomp Not as good as Heat, but is NOT trash at all. The cinematography and atmosphere alone makes it worth watching.
@Jimmy j I loved that style of filming from micheal mann. Like Miami vice (tho that one is very disliked)and public enemies.

@@journeymariereacts agreed! One of the movie scores ever.
Al Pacino won an Oscar for best actor in Scent of a Woman (1992). it's a drama, no guns. 🙂

GREAT reaction
I agree. The ending is one of the best in movie history. Great movie!
Scent of a Woman is a must watch the only Oscar win for Pacino when ofc I’ll argue he should have multiple
the perfect song for the end- Moby "God moving over the face of the water"
I've seen so many film films, but I hadn't seen this one yet, my uncle showed it to me. I love your reaction! 🤍

Did you know a year after the release of The Godfather II in 1974, Al Pacino and Fredo (John Cazale) were in another movie together called Dog Day Afternoon. It is about three friends robbing a bank in Brooklyn when everything goes wrong. Another good Pacino movie that not many talks about is The Devil's Advocate (1997) and you could say the same for Robert DeNiro in the hidden gem Midnight Run (1988) where DeNiro plays a former Chicago cop turned bounty hunter after he refuses to get involved with the Mob.
perfect reaction btw u really smart u saw everything coming lol
Thank you!!
This film was written around the first time Pacino and DeNiro are together in a film.
Michael Mann is such an amazing director.
Glad u along with other reactors watching this film ...great movie! Also check out crimson tide with denzel Washington and gene hackman

And really, to get a better understanding of Michael Mann and how he directs and his movies, u have to go all the way back to Thief with James Caan, then jump back to what started all the CSI type shows, Manhunter. That movie is the second of the Hannibal lecktor movies, but in this one he plays a part. The first tiny mention of Lector in a movie is, Dressed to Kill, by Brian DePalma. But in Manhunter, he plays a vital part, and that and Thief, will get u to Michael Mann, and Heat. Hank azaria is the blonde chick side guy. He does most voices on,The Simpsons and was great in The Bird Cage. Natalie's first role was in, the professional! Van zant actor is a guy that's been in so many movies! The Dark Knight, Blackhawk Down and the cult classic, Go! The cop who gets killed during the bank job, was the killer in Silence of the Lambs.😮😮. DeNiros long haired info guy is John voight. Terrific long time actor, in midnight cowboy, Catch 22, Enemy of the State, and first Mission Impossible! And dad of Anjolina Jolie!
Best reaction to HEAT i have seen. You picked up on the human elements of the story, and saw from all characters unique point of view. Not black and white but everybody is grey like in real life. Except for Waingro of course; zero redeeming qualities.
I’m glad you enjoyed my reaction😁& yea he was too far gone😒
Another excellent movie from director Michael Mann is "Collateral" with Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx.
I recommend Miami Vice. From Michael Mann too, same style, underrated, you should love it.
" The devils advocate" Al pacino Keanu Reeves, dont watch the trailer , great movie 🎥 very philosophical, spiritual, religious, movie 🎥 got everything
you always do smart analysis and show sincere emotions. Sincere, honest and smart. Three words that came in my mind watching you.
Wow I really appreciate the kinds words, thank you🙏🏼🥲
Love your shirt 🙌🏽💜
This movie makes me feel like I was born 20 years to late..cant get away with 'nothin anymore.
The ending always makes me emotional too.👍👍👍👍
Going after Waingro was Neil’s downfall. On any other day, he never woulda gone after him, as it was spontaneous. It went against the discipline structure he set up for himself
@Techno Pirate he caught feelings for Eady, in which, once again, went against his rigid structure of not having any attachments. Obviously he was close with Michael and Chris (even more with Chris; he convinced Chris’ wife to give him another shot, even though it was also to get his head right or he woulda been useless for the heist), but the fact that Chris was the only one to make it out alive and not look back (remember when Neil said “don’t go home. Don’t go back. Nothing. In 30 seconds flat, we go our separate ways) demonstrated to me that both were ready to detached from each other at the drop of a hat. While Waingro is responsible for the heist going wrong (Brandon and Michael ended up dead in the gunfight, along with Trejo put out of his misery by Neil after Waingro shot him up), I believe that the crew knew that this was gonna be it for them, as far as them being a unit after the heist.
Legit reaction. 💯
Not a true story but the Pacino and DeNiro characters were based on real detective and criminal. They really did have the coffee shop conversation and I believe the cop ended up shooting him. Great flick, and I believe Michael Mann has recently confirmed a sequel.
Check out Taxi Driver starring Robert DeNiro if you haven't. Also The Deer Hunter with him. Especially Taxi Driver though. I just subscribed too btw. You're crankin out some great reactions!
Thanks for the sub!! I’ll add that to the list👌🏻
Thanks, JMR!!! Great flick!!!!
This movie is perfect
Endlessly rewatchable
I like this movie so much that I bought a DVD of it just to keep. Also I read that the Robert Deniro & Al Pacino characters were based on a real criminal & cop.
27:29 He knew. He even imagined Alpa in bed instead of her. "F' Alpa..." he musta thought to himself. Then he turns on the man's television. 😁 I know he doesn't look like the type, but...
I felt same way about the two main characters at the end, I just couldn't decide for either side and simply enjoyed the acting performance, regardless of the outcome of duel.
"Heat" is undoubtedly a masterpiece, it's just a shame not all of the supporting actors were recognized for their performance. Natalie Portman made it, of course, but just take Kim Staunton, the actress who played Donald's wife and who - when she heard about his death on TV - you couldn't tell she was acting, but saw in her eyes the full conviction her husband had died, that was simply a breathtaking performance. Unfortunately, as far as I know, this didn't lead to much bigger roles, at least I saw her later only once in series like "Law & Order" and "This is Us", also in the movie "Changing Lanes" (2002), but unfortunately that was it and probably there just shouldn't be more in it.
Btw, Al Pacino had another important role in the movie "Devil's Advocate" (1997) with Keanu Reeves & Charlize Theron, which I can only recommend at this point. Back in the 90's there were countless discussions about who played the devil better, Pacino or Nicholson, who also gave a terrific performance in "The Witches of Eastwick" (1987), which I would award "second place" to.
Takes me way back does this movie 🍿
There's a biography of Al Pacino on youtube. He grew up street.
See "Donnie Brasco," one of Al Pacino's best, and with the amazing Johnny Depp.
All time classic Heat the thing is he would have got away but he had to go back for Waingro 🤷🏿♂️🤣
This bank robbery scene was epic when this movie came out. I can’t remember if this inspired or was inspired by the North Hollywood bank heist. DeNiro’s character was inspired by an actual bank robber and the scene where they just walked from a job because of a noise really happened.
The NH heist was inspired by Heat
Yup HEAT was inspired by the N Hollywood heist
If you like this you might like the 2004 movie Collateral.
Al Pacino is also great in Scent of a Woman (1992) and The Devil's Advocate (1997). Please react to these movies they are definitely worth watching.
Al Pacino movies you must watch.
Donnie Brasco with Johnny Depp (Mafia movie) True story.

Carlitos Way.
Love your reaction.
