HATE HANNAH IN THIS REACTION, SO TOXIC! TALKING IN THE MIDDLE OF DIALOGUES, ARGUING WITH ASH WHILE HE IS ENJOYING AND TRYING TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE MOVIE!
Such an amazing movie 🙌
This is the reaction that made me finally join the Patreon.
same here! been watching them for about a year now on youtube, but this was the deciding factor
watched the YouTube version and I had to subscribe, this is one of my favorite movies, as an artist im really hard on myself, constantly pushing to paint or draw something better than what I did before. JK Simmons reminds me of teachers I had back in the 90's and 2000's. They were just like this, zero tolerance for bullshit and laziness.
Ash mate, you talk all the time about how the movies that come out nowadays are so dead but take this film as an example, it's 8 years old absolutely sensational and you were completely unfamiliar with it. The 2010s were a phenomenal decade for film you are just looking in the wrong places My G.
Very true. Some of the best movies of all time came out between 2009 and 2016.
You should check out Split. It’s a thriller/horror movie. It’s a great movie.
Apocalypse Now
This is also one of my personal favourites as well. I would really appreciate if you guys reacted to older films, like those from the 80's, 70's and maybe even those before that. Also, you would really make my day if you reacted to some of the movies starring my favourite actor of all time, Al Pacino. My number one suggestion would be Dog Day Afternoon. Scent of a Woman would make for a great reaction as well. Thanks.
yooo ash what other movies are lined up.
not quite my tempo
This won the oscar for Best Sound Mixing, Best Film Editing and J.K. Simmons won for Best Supporting Actor. A masterpiece of a film and it was fantastic to watch it with yall
Please watch with Hannah the film BARDO, FALSE CHRONICLE OF A HANDFUL OF TRUTHS of the director Alejandro González Iñárritu on Netflix !!
Absolutely love this f**in movie !! Great video like always, I adore watching you two interact ahahah .. cheers from the south of France !
Loved rewatching that with you both. Its awesome to relive that first time feeling again haha, glad you both enjoyed it! looking forward to seeing more
Not surprised this and Sicario entered your top 10 two of my favorites. Million Dollar Baby is next to enter and my personal favorite
The reason you find this so emotional despite it just being about music is because you're witnessing psychological abuse. You're not seeing someone being pushed to be their best, you're watching someone be psychologically broken to disregard their own health and happiness for someone else's dream. And you admired a man who manipulates others to get his own way. Great movie, and a thought provoking ending that's questioning how far is too far to achieve success, and is it really success at all if you've sacrificed your own happiness, relationships and self worth just to please the person who's manipulating you.
Because it's the music teachers dream to be responsible for creating greatness. He explains it in the scene after Andrew sees him performing in the jazz club.
Ok so.... to clear things up.... no Ash this is just not inspirational. The look on Andrew's fathers face was not him being proud, it was horror. Yeah, Andrew got his big moment, and Fletcher helped because this was his opportunity to get his own Charlie Parker. The reason this worked was because both Fletcher and Nieman are obsessed with their goals. It's not passion. It's obsession, which is much more dangerous. Like, the world isn't run like a 60s military boot camp anymore, nor should it be. Psychologically abusing your students to literal suicide is not a sign of someone being discouraged. It's the same thing that will happen to Nieman. The director of the movie said it in an interview, "Andrew is gonna die drunk, full of heroin in his early 30s, just like Charlie Parker." The line is all the way before this. If you think you need to be abused like that to achieve greatness, then you gotta rethink life cause that's all wrong. You can push yourself hard without doing that. Besides, if you break yourself to achieve greatness, you're not even gonna enjoy it. It's a sign that sometimes it's not about the passion. It's the obsession with being great, being praised, having that moment of pure dopamine and feeling on top of the world, being remembered. Of course it's your choice to make if you want to do that to yourself, but you'll find yourself coming back to your humanity like Nieman did. We all crave belonging and connection. That's normal. Wanting greatness is a dangerous thing because if you throw away things in your life that are actually healthy for you, you're not gonna live your life happy. And that should be the ultimate goal, shouldn't it? But I do understand the desire for greatness. But this way of teaching is NOT the right way. You can be tough without literally driving someone to their own death. Gordon Ramsey is a great example. He is harsh, but not personal. You dont ever need to go there. But Fletcher is a bit of a sadistic psychopath and his greatness is living vicariously through his students. Thats fucked up. The end was Nieman falling into Fletchers cycle of abuse. Fletcher got his Charlie Parker. And now Niemans life is fucked because of it. Again, you can achieve greatness without subjecting yourself to that. That's just wrong, there's no way of excusing that. But my god this movie is still fantastic. It was only filmed in 14 days total, and J.K. Simmons won an Oscar for this. Well deserved 👏
Yes and no. Yeah you can see it however you want, but there's things that are definitely true about things to take away from pieces of media. Things that the creators are trying to tell. And it's been proven that this is not meant to be inspiring. It might feel that way, but as others here have said, that's how the manipulation of someone like Fletcher works. It's not just interpretation. It's literally what's healthy and what's not. Thinking this is an inspiring story alone without seeing the true side of it is definitely not the point of the film. Thats fairly obvious 😅
There are people who view the end of this film as positive and triumphant. These people confuse and terrify me in equal measure.
Exactly, it was not happiness. Andrew fell into the cycle of abuse Fletcher had indoctrinated him into. It wasn't him breaking free.
Will you be finishing squid game?
forgot about that haha
Let's goooo! 🙌 I'm so excited for this month.. starting out with a bang!
oh yes....havent seen this film in ages. Such a great movie
