Joe Rantz was my father in law. I married his first child Fred and our son and I were so glad to see this movie and how it got so much right with Joe’s story and the Boys in the Boat. We left the theatre with happy tears.
The book brought tears, more so Joe's struggle, but also the inspiration of the rag tag team and their victories. I'm glad the movie was made because everyone needs to hear this story.
I’m from puget sound area and been to many of the areas Joe grew up in. Read the book. Wish the movie would have added 30 minutes to go over more of his childhood. His story is a lot like my grandfather’s who boxed during the Great Depression to make money
Yes Joyce married Joe and they were married until separated by death. They lived in the same house in Lake Forest Park in Seattle all their lives together. She was wonderful, welcoming me and my two kids from a previous marriage when my husband Fred brought me to meet Joe and Joyce. They were wonderful to me always.
I love this movie and the story. The only thing missing is Joyce at the end - she should have been standing in the doorway smiling as Joe and his grandson walked back toward the house. This way the audience would have known that they ended up together.
The main thing Joe Rantz learns mostly from George Pocock is to finally trust the other boys in the boat! Everyone in Joes life up until that time had let him down. Growing up Joe had almost always been on his own, he had trouble trusting anyone!
My friend and I went to see the movie four days ago. We LOVED it! Now I need to read the book! I am enjoying these interviews so much. Thanks so much to everyone involved.
Fascinating story! It’s fun to hear the interviews. It’s great that so much research went into understanding The characters. I’m impressed and inspired by what Joe Ranz went through and overcame.
Well told story - of both the original events and the making of the movie. Watched this just hours after seeing the movie. I’m curious about the creative decision to quickly zoom in and out. Perhaps it had todo with the cinematographer’s comments on how to insert variety and visual interest into what could be repetitive shots. Couldn’t get into the theater Christmas Day last week here in Seattle! Thanks all for your care in telling this story.
The Boys in the Boat has become my favorite movie of all time. Heart-wrenching and victorious, it is a real story of overcoming those life-gutting experiences that could break you, and immersing yourself into the tough experiences that make you. This film changes you.
Read the book when it first came....will read it again soon.... brilliantly authored.... hopefully the movie will open here in New Zealand! The British team finished 4th in the final....such an awful number in any Olympic final....so close yet so far.....Hugh Laurie s (House) dad was on that team!
What a remarkable young man was Joe Rantz, as well as the rest of the rowing team. But again, a lot of those young men from the Great Depression era were of special breed. Those were the same WW2 soldiers and the Greatest Generation. I have a lot of respect for all of them.
Joe and Joyce had four kids and adopted a fifth. Three girls and two boys. Judy is the one who Joe lived with at the end of his life and she was a neighbor of Daniel James Brown who wrote The Boys in the Boat in 2013. She asked him to write the book about her father. Her father said he wanted the book to be about the boys and the boat.
A lot more male rowers in UK. It’s like baseball. So he probably cast the best actors who had enough prior experience so the learning curve wouldn’t be as steep. Have no idea. Loved book. Read it on the plane home after rowing in Henley Masters (2d place)
Loved the movie and the story so much!!!!! but actors who um um um are so annoying and discouraging - not the example I want my kids seeing - stop and think before you speak

Wonderful movie!
Was your mil Joyce?
Yes Joyce married Joe and they were married until separated by death. They lived in the same house in Lake Forest Park in Seattle all their lives together. She was wonderful, welcoming me and my two kids from a previous marriage when my husband Fred brought me to meet Joe and Joyce. They were wonderful to me always.

Callum is terrific as rantz he really caught the essence of him that I imagined from the book 😊
The main thing Joe Rantz learns mostly from George Pocock is to finally trust the other boys in the boat! Everyone in Joes life up until that time had let him down. Growing up Joe had almost always been on his own, he had trouble trusting anyone!
Outstanding movie. It stays on your mind for days after you see it.
I saw the movie today. I LOVED the book and the movie did a great job of telling the story. But read the book.
The cast interviews are very good - so much enthusiasm.
My friend and I went to see the movie four days ago. We LOVED it! Now I need to read the book! I am enjoying these interviews so much. Thanks so much to everyone involved.
I'm going to do the same! Just saw the movie. It has to be the best movie I've ever seen!

Thanks for watching.
Joe is the epitome of human courage. A mentor to life. God has Joe in His hands.

Bro I was actually expecting jack mulhern to be in this video 😭
A very enjoyable film very well cast - superb sporting movie.

Great book. Very good movie.
Excellent movie. Saw it yesterday
Very nice interviews although sometimes the editing made the transitions a little confusing as to who they were talking about at first.
Joe and Joyce had four kids and adopted a fifth. Three girls and two boys. Judy is the one who Joe lived with at the end of his life and she was a neighbor of Daniel James Brown who wrote The Boys in the Boat in 2013. She asked him to write the book about her father.

Love the book and movie and all the actors bought it all alive.
So proud of our Aussie actor he slays the character
What an extraordinary history and movie. Amazing actors.
Just saw the movie. Very impressed. I must read the book & probably see it again. Fabulous.
Love the interviews! Thank you! I can't wait to see the movie. ❤
It touched me so deeply
"The Boat in the Boys"
Wondering if Clooney could not find a totally American cast.
A lot more male rowers in UK. It’s like baseball. So he probably cast the best actors who had enough prior experience so the learning curve wouldn’t be as steep. Have no idea. Loved book. Read it on the plane home after rowing in Henley Masters (2d place)
Why?
Referring to the comment of finding an All American cast. A wee bit nationalistic aren' t we?
Because Hollywood is fake!!
What difference did it make? They all did a great job and made everything believable.
American story with British actors, WHY?????????????????????
Because they can just learn to speaks with an American accent...
Loved the movie and the story so much!!!!! but actors who um um um are so annoying and discouraging - not the example I want my kids seeing - stop and think before you speak
