Kathy Bates was nominated for an Emmy for this role. This woman is incredible in everything she does
It was Oscar-worthy.
Misery was brilliant.
Love her!🫶
Everything she acts in is brillian!T
You got that right she's awesome
I can't tell you how good it feels to watch a show and not cringe through it with sex scenes and swearing. I can actually show my kids this.
You don't mention and it's sad because it would be on top of your list... Violence.
@@tia904 I think her comment ment 95% of movies these days are filled with sex, swearing and brutal violence.
This movie was about someone struggling stay afloat when life gets too comfortable. When you hit a certain age, things seem to be more important than some, but love, now that's something to watch, the raw emotions, the sincerity of it all, being allowed to try something new.
Kathy bates became her own person.
That feels wonderful.
We all know that being an emt isn't a glorious career, but think of the love they give to the ones they are trying to save.
I think that's the most important part of this movie.
Being who you want to be. Writing books and traveling or saving lives.
I choose saving lives.
Blessings and prayers to you and yours
💜✨️🙏🕊🙏✨️💜
Kathy Bated had an amazing role and well directed by her!
Heart felt touching on a wide range of topics and issues we all can relate to one way or another.
Kudos to all the actors❤️.
It was even more enjoyable as it did not need to cave into lust, violence or foul language to make it an absolute fantastic movie.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼++
@@stevenavarette9334 What area of health care or social work are you in to save lives? I mean, as a friend, and fellow citizen, I have helped a lot of people help themselves to avoid suiciding, get to hospital, etc., as most people would, but it sounds like you do this on a regular basis, so I assume it's profession -based for you. Unless you are saying that by attempting to convert vulnerable people to your belief system you are professing to save them. As I wrote in my previous comment, I hope you are actually providing practical support to the people who need it. Stating proudly in comments that you 'save lives' is a big claim. That's why I am harping on about it.
@@daniellamcgee4251 hello, I did not say I save lives, I said I choose saving lives.
Thank you for your comment.
Blessings and prayers to you
Kathy Bates is so talented, she should get an Oscar, just for opening her curtains each morning.
😂😂😂
TRUE!! ❤😁🔥🔥
Kathy is one of my FAVORITE's because she is very incredible in EVERY MOVIE! Seriously!!😁
I listened to this while gardening. And I knew I had watched this before. She is really underrated.
@@CurlyCrowie So true.
I could never be in a relationship with an alcoholic. Nothing she did suited him.
Good for her, making her new career.
Kathy Bates, a great performer.
What I thought, too. What a big baby, she does her own thing and he has a fit, and says the most denigrating things.
This is what marriage is supposed to be about. You learn, you love, you grow and you accept each other. Loved this movie.
I wish it had happened with me. 40 years and all over.
My biggest take-away from this wonderful movie was her final line, "Fear is like a hologram, full of substance; but when you go thru it, it was all just an illusion."
So glad you enjoyed the movie, Maureen!
Yes!! I so agree, I just turned 60 in April and I never thought I'd get to this age, but I'm so glad I did, I help people and their spirits, it does feel good to help others
Blessings and prayers to you and yours and Everyone
💜✨️🙏🕊🙏✨️💜
@@stevenavarette9334 God Bless you. I never thought I'd make it pass 30 yet here I am lol. Love is something you do.
@@thinkforyourselfjohn3167 think of yourself, my God, I never thought I'd make it to 60!!!! My God I'm here
@@stevenavarette9334Athiest here. I am pretty sure it's not possible to help other people's spirits. If you are religious, isn't that up to your God? There are plenty of people in need of practical support like food, housing, emotional support, etc. I hope you are able to make a practical difference to help people stay alive, and/or provide them with resources so they may be in a position to make choices, and find their own quality of life. People don't need lessons when they are at the bottom of a well, they need practical to find a way up, and out.
Kathy Bates is my most favourite actor. I love this woman !. As a retired Police Officer, you can never make provision for what life throws at you and I salute all the first responders that work tirelessly for their communities.
Kathy Bates can make any movie a great story.
Not this one.
@@judithrandall4690 put ur phone down then,kathy not th problem
@@prettylillything Shut up
I agree!
💕 Kathy
Loved this author’s book......I wrote to her and she wrote back ! She is something special.....
I related to this story. I Became an EMT at 40 for 6 years. One of the hardest things I ever did but I'm so glad I did it. You got to do what you feel you got to do. It's a hard job so be thankful for your EMTs out there.
GOOD FOR YOU❤
My brother was one in the Vietnam War and came back & stayed an EMT/LVN for the military even after war till he retired at 67. I miss him hope we have time together. xo
My grandson is one so proud of him!
Thank you for your service 🙏 ❤️
My life was saved 27 years ago because embulence got me to the closest hospital on time when I involved serious car wreck! Though I passed out 7 days but I was life! 😂
I am thankful everyday for all of you Americans gave me a 2nd life! 💞
Much the same timing for me: joined at age 40, in for 7+ years as a firefighter-EMT (and company officer). Could never do it again, but am eternally grateful for the experience! And I always tell people Volunteer companies train at the same level as professionals, and commonly provide a year or two of experience before one applies for a paid position.
Wonderful story which shines a light on the teamwork, dedication, and hardships of those EMT volunteers who help the firefighters in responding to emergency calls. Kathy Bates as Jane is a terrific actress along with the directing of this movie. The message of overcoming our fears by helping others takes our mind off ourselves as we think of their needs is excellent.
I just love Kathy's personality. She could make a great best friend, and she's a wonderful actress.
Kathy Bates is a NATIONAL TREASURE. LOVE her!! ❤😂😁😱🔥🔥
Bates is an incredibly talented actor. She carries almost everything she's in. Really enjoyed the show
I loved her performance in the film Love Lisa.
Kathy Bates ❤ ever since I first put my eyes on this actress, she never disapointed once!
She lives her roles authentically. Now she also proves beeing brillant in directing a movie. Thank you for sharing ❤
Really good movie!!!! I read the other day that "everything you want in life is on the other side of fear". I wish I had known that a long time ago.
I'm getting older now Kathy Bates, has always been my gal, what a woman. Love you so much, you are beautiful inside and outside. Weather in the box or out. I have always loved you. Jeanie.
I laughed, I cried, I held my breath, I laughed some more- my heart was touched so many times- and I shed a happy tear at the end! GOOD MOVIE!
Kathy Bates has never looked prettier.. what a wonderful actress!!
I was just thinking not even 30 seconds ago how pretty she looks.
Pretty??! I don't think so, she is a little bit cute in a comforting sort of way and she's a brilliant actress.
@@julieoluna8887 Her face does look pretty.. 4 a lady over 60, she's looking better than she was when she was n Misery. That's the great thing about being average looking, sometimes a person looks better as they get older.
I almost passed this up till I saw that Kathy Bates is in it. That's all you need to make a movie good!!! This movie isn't one of my faves. But KB does a great job. This movie is cute and funny. Moved a little slow but I'm glad I watched it!!
I enjoyed this so much, I didn’t want it to end. All the actors were good. Kathy Bates never lets the audience down. I always enjoy her work. Great actress.
Thank you Kathy Bates for another wonderful movie. You are so incredibly talented!!💞
She should have won that Emmy as an actress and director! She's fabulous, she is a rare talent that I've not seen one thing she's been in and didn't like it. She casted this movie well.
She did win an Emmy award for this.
A big thanks to Kathy for her acting and directing these beautiful movies she shares with us.
Excellent movie. And refreshing to see a story of a couple who decided their relationship was worth fighting for. Worth saving instead of giving up when life became painful and *seemingly unfixable.
What a pleasant surprise! I was not surprised by the implosion of their marriage after he got sober and she found something new to do for herself. So often couples split after one gets sober, or if one joins Al-Anon. The shift in dynamics can be too great. This was really a gem.
love kathy bates!!!!!!!!!!!
I like all Kathy Bates' films, she is real actress 😍✨️
How have I never heard of this movie? I LOVE Kathy, and I have never heard of this movie!
The important thing is that you've heard of it now! So glad you found it, Gail. Hope you enjoyed it.
Such a beautiful movie , with Kathy Bates shining in her role as Jane. The struggling in the relationship feel so real and disturbing , it brings tears to my eyes. Great movie thank you.
You're welcome, gerda!
Liked this but it was a bit unrealistic. Seems that their marriage could have been enriched by a couple of kids so they weren’t fixated always on themselves . (Kids have a way of helping us forget about ourselves and not our careers) as an EMT, she starred as a strong woman, with fears. We all have them but we don’t all zero in on our own feelings and emotions…and let them rule us.
How cute you are, Kathy Bates... And amazing human being and actress. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH ❤❤❤
loved her in fried green tomatoes, titanic and a place of our own. she is right about fear sometimes we blow it up in our own minds (I have done this due to anxiety and depression) and if you face your fears to the extent you can it fades away as you realize the imagined harm was not real. but then you have to remember some fears are legit, so finding that balance is a challenge for sure.
That's it. Fried green tomatoes. Was stumped
Finding that balance is the key🤭
Not Misery? Or Dolores Clairbourn?
Yes a point so relevant to the present. Fear. One of the most prevalent mind control nuisances. So yes to tackle it head on and walk through it certainly most certainly makes it vanish and makes you grow. That was the best line for me there at the end.
Fried green tomatoes is in my top 10.
Kathy Bates was one of my Granny favorites she can play any role she's an excellent actress I love me some her 😊
It's a scary thing to change your life after years of comfort, of having the good life with one person, not taking any dangerous chances, to care for people at their worst..But it takes courage and strength to see it through and accomplish what you set out to do..and she did..❤
She's so cute in this role, rediscovering her Towanda side (Fried Green Tomatoes). All wide eyed and beaming joy. Bates really knows how to light up a room. Amazing actress.
KATHY IS SUCH A REAL PERSON
With Cathy Bates in it...oh YEAH! Don't miss this one. It's priceless!
I absolutely adore Kathy Bates! This movie was so touching, and I enjoyed it very much.
Kathy Bates can make everything watchable, she should charge more
Best hr and 27 mins ive spent all week..Kathy Bates never fails to deliver. Great story .❤️
Great Story with well done acting. Can't understand EMS or Firefighters being in a volunteer role - for all the professionalism required of them.
I know what you mean. BUT we do have volunteer soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen. Also volunteer policemen!
At least, here in the UK, we do. 🇬🇧
@@Woodman-Spare-that-tree My cousin talked of having volunteer firemen fighting their kitchen fire on New Year's eve. My uncle waited at the door to let them in, but they bashed it in on arrival. Slightly inebriated state.
I just Love Kathy Bates! She's an incredible actress and can play any role seamlessly.
She is one of my fav actress I've watched all her movies. From old to new
K Bates is such a relatable actress
Love Kathy Bates in any role she portrayed. This one made me laughed so hard that I have tears running down my cheeks
Hilarious 😂😊
Same😂
Me to Carmencita me too. So funny. God bless you, I love her too. Too funny, my fav.She's always worthy, she doesn't really care about getting told "how great thou are" she just does the movies she likes, & thinks she will be good at for her fans. We so love you our dear Kathy Bates. God bless you sweetheart.
@@jwilcox4726I wasn't keen on Kathy Bates celebrating her marijuana use, presumably to be 'down with the kids' , on Stephen Colbert's show a few years ago. But she has the intelligence (other than that occasion) and heart which makes her a great actor, and seemingly a lovely person. Personally, I don't believe God has anything to do with it, as I am an atheist, and I don't know if Kathy Bates is religious.
I love her, This move just pupped up and I'm gladly going to watch it ,,,,what is better than watching a good move laying down on my couch in the rainy day ,,,
I just cried and cried when Kathy sang "Trouble of the World" like Mahalia Jackson to the dying lady in the ambulence.
These actors and their characters were so solid! Love Kathy Bates, and the man who played her husband is great! The boss man, loved him, too! 🧡🙏🧡🙏🧡🙏🧡. Thanks to all who look out for us in life, all who serve!
Kathy Bates is my favorite actress. She can do anything!
Hysterical movie! "You're unconscious Stern" lol also a heartfelt story. I almost cried when she sang to the dying patient in the ambulance ❤
Yes, I realized that the patient was dying.
LOVE Kathy Bates!!
Yes!
Me too ! She is an amazing actress 👍
WOW!!! WHAT A GREAT MOVIE. Watch it you will be GLAD you did. We were happy to hear "NO" cussing in this movie, just a GREAT CLEAN MOVIE with a GREAT Message. Kathy Bates is an EXCELLENT ACTRESS SHE IS SOOO GREAT IN THIS MOVIE!! Watch it you WILL ENJOY IT!! Many Blessings for putting THIS GREAT Movie on You Tube.💙😇💙
Wonderful, insightful and amazing! Katy Bates did a beautiful job! The nomination was well deserved!. Her ability to become the “ character she is portraying is beyond words.She became Katy!” Thank You! ❤️🌹🎶😇
very good, love Kathy Bates. She's got spunk, funny and wonderful.
WOW kathy is just mesmerizing , she really is and the actor that played her husband was exceptional . Well cast , beautiful story , felt like a true story . Very realistic and believable . Great movie ;D Thank you
It was based on a memoir, by Jane stern
Great movie I can relate to this movie hits so close to home. I started in 1998 in a volunteer fire department has a new husband and father to a baby girl. 22 years later I'm retired fire chief of the same department no longer married . I can't put all blame on the fire department life but was part of the ending of my marriage. Some many couples one partner doesn't understand or can handle their partner passion for that line of work. It also applies to cops too .But I still have my baby girl which has given me so far three beautiful granddaughters to enjoy also has out did her dad by getting her LPN
Yes, the toll on marriages is certainly noteworthy. Mine and a number of others in our 60 member rural volunteer department seemed somehow... inevitable, sad to say.
AS ALWAYS, KATHY BATES MAKES EVERY SHOW FANTASTIC! ❤🎉 ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS OF 2023 EVEN THOUGH IT WAS MADE DECADES AGO...QUALITY NEVER GOES OUT OF STYLE! THANK YOU KATHY FOR BEING SUCH A WONDERFUL LADY
She's been my fav for over 60 sixty years. Posieden adventure was a fav. for years. xo💕💟❣🥰😍😘♥💙💜
Great movie. Fear is a hologram.
DONT NOT WRITE IN CAPS. HOW IS IT THAT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS ? IT'S LIKE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO CALL FIRST BEFORE DROPPING IN ON SOMEONE'S HOME.
@@jwilcox4726 that wasn't Kathy Bates in that movie, that was Shelley Winters. Kathy Bates wasn't even an actress yet in the 70s .. you do realize 60 years ago would put you In the 60s right ? I was a child when the movie Posidien adventure came put in the 70s & Shelley Winters was In it .. not Kathy Bates, she wasn't even around yet.
@@plutoplatters
I WRITE IN CAPS BECAUSE MY EYE SIGHT IS NOT SO YOUNG ANYMORE. AND AS FOR NOT DROPPING BY WITHOUT CALLING FIRST, MY PEOPLE (AMISH AND MENNONITES), THAT IS OUR WAY TO JUST DROP BY. SO INSTEAD OF SCOLDING WHY NOT JUST KNOW THERE ARE OTHER REASONS FOR DOING THINGS YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH.
Good movie I love Kathy Bates. She is such a good actress...
We agree. Kathy is the best!
This is one of the best movies I have seen this century!!!
That is high praise indeed. Thanks for the nice comments, Kat!
❤ agree
Wish this for me and anyone with genuine heart.
That One day I find someone who looks at me fights for forever with me. By God's grace, Amen
THANK YOU for creating such a multi-level beautiful love story, especially an ending worthy of the story and the actors! ❤️
Oh what a blessing a Cathy Bates movie I love love her , she is the best
Really enjoyed this movie. I've had fears in the past too, and she's right. Once you get past them, you've conquered them. Kathy deserves the Emmy she got for this role! And I loved the happy ending!!!
I found myself, bursting out laughing so many times!!😂😂 this is what life , marriage is , endurance, selfishness, unconditional love and serving❤
Neighbors may be wondering about me today! Windows open & laughter bursting out! 👍Excellent movie!
I did, too.
So nice to hear you all enjoyed this so much!
I laughed. I cried. And in the end rejoiced with them with tears flowing like a river. Excellent movie!
Kathy is so good. She brings All the other Actors up with her. A mark of a true Actor.. Never upstages
Are you kidding me a free Kathy Bates movie.
The best kind characters, the best crazy villain character, the best mother roles and even better creepy person characters KATHY BATES I HOPE YOU READ THESE COMMENTS. We love your talent 😊
Great movie. Couples complement each other, and at times, they can be too close and need to be themselves. Love is like that.
Omgosh kathy bates is soooo darn funny
Heartfelt story of life challenges and the love, patience, and perseverance that hold people together. Kathy Bates is exceptional as always and the chemistry of the leads is really good ! You'll enjoy it !
That's the kind of review we love to hear. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
I think they both realized they needed each other more than they thought. And no marriage is perfect. It takes give and take from both people. This was a sweet story.
Her husband was a great actor!
I was am EMT years ago and almost dropped my side of the stretcher. I started lifting weights and working out to get stronger and got strong and in the best shape of my life.
Absolutely love the movie. Hilarious, serious, sad, joyful, inspirational, with a truth and wisdom beneath all of this. Thank you Kathy and all of you wonderful characters alike. This was a must see. I am an AA member and enjoyed the view from a husband and a wife's perspective of living life on life's terms.
Wish they would make more movies with more real couples like this one ❤
If Kathy Bates is in the movie it’s gonna be awesome!!!!!
Love anything Kathy is in. Sich a great actress. This movie was so true to life. Sharing the ups and downs, trials of life and marriage. Thanks for this great movie.
You're welcome. So glad you enjoyed it.
5 Stars says it all!!!!! Kathy Bates always gets my heart! Good story too!
Loved this movie!! So AWESOME! Love all movies Kathy Bates stars in! She’s an AMAZING actress!❤️🍿⭐️👏
Reminds us all how age does not prohibit us from new careers, adventures and still having lots of valuable life skills to learn. It was an inspiring movie.
The very best film I saw Kathy in was Dolores Claiborne - fantastic film.
Misery was pretty good as well 👍👍✔✔💯💯
I love anything that Cathy Bates is in .thanks for the movie 😊
Excellent movie. Tear jerker at the end. Kathy Bates has always been in movies which you learn something from. The movie was kinda slow but the comedy made up for it.
Absolutely adored this movie!! Didn’t even know this movie existed!! I love Kathy Bates & the gentleman who played her husband, Michael, and their wonderful friend, who had the stroke!! And the fire, chief and the woman who was an EMT with her!! Etc.! Lots of wonderful characters and actors in this movie!! Especially love the marriage and relationship between Kathy, not remembering, her character’s name, and her husband, Michael!!!! oh, and I loved it when she was in the ambulance for that thirtyish, young woman
who is dying… And Kathy sang an old spiritual I guess it was to her! ❤️🤘👍🤗✋🙏😁😇✝️😘😜
Beautiful comforting moment between them, as the hospice patient was ready to go "home".✝️
@@janel697 Amen
This couple of actors look terrific together. It is nice to see how they workout their relationship. Not easy to understand our own feelings and changes in the aging process. I enjoy the movie, thanks for sharing.
I always love Kathy Bates' Movies. This one had me laughing and crying. The end, fear is just an illusion, is a very good lesson for these times.
This was a GREAT story and addressed a mental phobia illness. Using humor, serious lift and death drama to show how the married couple dealt with their story. I loved the realness of this life-in-the-making situation. I would have never guessed it could happen. It made my situations look like minor problems in comparison. So glad I found this movie. Thanks CZcams!
Sweet & realistic. They both portrayed authentically the ins & outs of relationships, emotional issues, personhood, & sobriety. Well done. Kathy is beautiful! LOVE is why we are here on earth. To love & care for one another.❤
isn't it something though, when one changes themselves they want to be single again! weight loss, sobriety, financial gain, lottery win also, on and on!
Wonderful delightful story of two married people in love that still find they need to accomplish personal growth. Thank you.
Bonjour vous tous qui regarde ce petit bijou . Moi j'ai adore6 ce film car CATHY BATES est une excellente comédienne et dans ce film elle est pleine l'enthousiasme, pleine de charme et elle souhaite évoluer dans sa carrière . Tout en travaillant elle suis ses études bien qu',elle est la moyenne d'âge. C'EST UNE BATTANTE , ELLE NOUS DONNE À RÉFLÉCHIR. C'EST UN TRÈS BON FILM .....EVA
Also the people in a relationship can change (the husband quit drinking) (Wife had to get over her fears) but they still love and need to stay together in the end.
You're welcome, Lois! Thanks for watching.
Such a positive movie Kathy Bates is wonderful, as always. She always is so down-to-earth and real in her parts, as a heroine or a villain. Robin Thomas is really good here, also. I have seen him so often over the years in supporting roles.
My God. This is a great movie. God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love and sound mind -2 Tim 1:7. This movie. Ugh. So great. Thank you for posting it.
This movie is hilarious. Kathy Bates was phenomenal in this.
When isn't she, right? We're privileged to have a Kathy Bates movie on our channel and so glad you enjoyed it.
@@ChickenSoupForTheSoulTV Absolutely! 👍🏼
I really like this show Kathy Bates is awesome
My boys and I LOVE her movies.
I love this couple. So real to life. Husband is so cute, but not unrealistically so. Very enjoyable & relatable movie!! Kathy Bates is always so believable. Love how both partners in this couple are challenging themselves to grow and succeeding!
Loved her roll in the movie Fried Green Tomatoes
Loved this movie & actors !!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
Once again, Kathy Bates ❤
Love, love this movie! had me laughing, crying and coming to terms with stepping out of your comfort zone. Great job Ms Bates and the gentleman that played the part of her husband. Also, kudos for being one of the producers/directors.
This is one of my all time favorites!! I have it on DVD but, when it popped up in my feed I couldn't resist!! Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome!
The only reason I watched this movie is because I seen Kathy Bates starred in it. I figured she would make it work. And she did ;)
Love this movie 🎥 Kathy is such a beautiful woman and actress 😊the whole cast of the movie is amazing 😊❤
