One of the most underrated movies of all time. This film hits on so many levels. Paddy's performance was amazing.
Great cast and acting throughout. The fear and impending doom was so palpable. Need to make a mention of Toby Kebbels (Anthony) performance which was excellent and got a little bit overshadowed by Paddy's.
Paddy before the Dragons! What an amazing actor. Such a hard film to watch and absorb!
Yeah, this is my 2nd favourite film of all time behind This Is England
@@SR1RecordsIts my best hes done. After i watched this i had to watch everything Meadows did. Le donk and Scorzayzee is a classic too
@@samirdaric2493He was also immense in Peaky Blinders. A fantastic actor.
One of the best British films ever made.
❤
People online will argue with anything but I don't see anyone ever arguing with that.
@@seldom_bucketI will. It's one of the best films ever made.
This is one of my favorite films, Paddy Considine is outstanding. Every time they say "It's Anthony's brother" it give me shivers.
I think this was my first time watching him! He was great...chilling. Have you seen a Room for Romeo Brass? I hear he's also really good in that.
Oh, PLEASE react to that. Meadows's 2nd best film, which was also his debut (if you don't count Small Time, which is pretty much a glorified short film).
@@chrissiereacts A Room For Romeo Brass is my favourite of Shane's films. I think it's on CZcams.
Rock n roller he was great in that
@@chrissiereacts He is great in Romeo Brass. Well worth a watch, not as bleak as some of Meadows' other work and in places very funny. But still poignant.
The "Yeah, it was me" scene is so badass
You're there mate.
"If I were you, I'd get back in that car and I'd f**k off"
He disarmed Sonny instantly with that. Complete intimidation fail. Was amusing seeing Sonny's character try to regain the upper hand and failing throughout the confrontation.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Edmund Burke... Bravo !!!
Wow that's so deep
It’s an Edmund Burke quote.
@@enemyfruitloop5858 I was taking the pee
The only way to beat the devil's work is to become the bigger devil, either that or show it, love, and kindness, and hopefully, it will change its ways
When Richard and Anthony (well, the memory of Anthony) talk about Richard coming to the school the dialogue is very revealing. Everyone held Richard's hand, but Anthony didn't. He 'didn't have to'. Richard was embarassed by Anthony and told him that he didn't have to, knowing that his borther was simple enough to accept this and that it would save him from having to publically take ownership of the fact that he's related to this 'spastic'. He ultimately considers himself to also be a monster, except that he chose to distance himself from Anthony instead of tormenting him. He doesn't just revenge against the small-town 'gangsters', but also his past self, who failed to be a big brother.
I've always seen it as a film about Richards search for Redemption as much as his Revenge
This is a great explanation and spot on
Richard's time in the army has also removed his sense of fear; and equipped him with the skills and disassociation required for that type of revenge.
The first time I saw the "I didn't" scene I wept... Alongside the "one shot" Deer Hunter scene with Walken and Deniro and the Dennis Hoper / Christopher Walken "Eggplant" scene in True Romance this is truly a piece of cinematography platinum... Score by Gavin Clark
Yes, he hates himself for not outwardly loving his brother - and it adds a great layer to the film as he seeks to redeem himself for his own sense of guilt..
This movie stays with you.
Yes it does
"God will forgive them, he'll forgive them and allow them into heaven. I cant live with that" I think about that a lot for some reason. Such a raw way to start a movie.
People talk about Karma and hippy dippy bullshit all the time. Truth is it doesn't exist. Evil people are the happiest amongst anyone I know. So yeah I get the statement, there are some things which are unforgivable, and should absolutely be avenged.
The threat sceene between Paddy & Gary is a great acting sceene
I remember picking this as a lads movie night completely at random.
We all sat in silence for about 5 mins as the credits scrolled.
Then my mate said, "Well, you're not f** picking the video next week!"
Next week my mate randomly selected "Old Boy".
🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 that's too funny
Cheyne Stokes breathing is a pattern of breathing seen in people who are dying, it happens shortly before death.
wow...... i've watched this flick about 10 times and my mind has always read that as ''chayne smoking'' . and i wondered why the f**K would he have written that. thanks for putting me straight
@@stuarthouse-w6o lol first time I saw the film 20 years ago I read it the same way as you. When you think about the meaning it’s a chilling way for Richard to tell the 3 of them that they’re all going to be dead very soon. Clever script.
It is what people commonly refer to as 'death rattle'
@@beardedloon77 Cheyne Stokes is the pattern of breathing rather than the noise. I know what you’re referring to when you say death rattle but that’s not Cheyne Stokes. Both are however common signs that a person is nearing the end as the brain and body are shutting down.
@@thecornedbeefcouncil9792 if you watch it with commentary Shane says he didn’t like how neat the graffiti was 😂
Quite simply one of the greatest British films ever made to me. Absolute masterpiece. I call it a horror film personally, it’s got that sense of building dread that pushes you further and further out of your comfort zone that makes it feel like a horror.
It's definitely a horror film,it's creepy as ****
Masterpiece indeed.
Absolutely agree! Northern gritty suspenseful grim violent love revenge story! Paddy is of course amazing in this role but also the supporting cast are excellent! Neil Bell, he plays the character Soz who gets 'shut off' He along with all the cast are incredible.
psychological thriller imo
It also has a lot of the Western about it
Paddy Considine is amazing in this and a Room for Romeo Brass. Shane Meadows and Paddy wrote this about various real life experiences where people in their area got away with bullying and abusing vulnerable people.
One of my favourite films. A great mix of realism, documentary style filming, humour, violence, grit and character dimension. I think it was Toby's first film and what a performance from him.
Music by Clayhill... the late Gavin Clark... ex - Sunhouse 100% CLASS
Paddy Considine deserves an Oscar
Shane Meadows deserves an Oscar
And to be recognised in the world of acting and directing
And to be honest all the actors and teams in all their films are Great
A beautiful movie. The reveal that Anthony is dead hit me so hard the first time I watched it. I love how the movie is very dark but also funny and extremely moving.
Your reaction to the twist gave me goosebumps. Great film, fantastic reaction!
This is one of the best movies that most people haven’t seen, awesome that someone is reacting to it
If no'one's recommended them yet, you should watch This is England 86, 88 and 90.
They're a continuation of the film set a few years later.
Love ya stuff 😊
Thank you!!
This is England 86,88,90 is unforgettable. Characters who stay with you. Excellent writing, excellent acting. Nothing really like it tbh.
A brilliant film. The quality of the script and the acting shows why you don't need a huge budget to make a quality film.
It makes me eternally warm knowing the last 13 releases from Disney have all failed.
Something that always 'gets' me in this movie, is the hidden journey that Richard takes in his relationship with his brother. It's _also_ part of the twist.
At the start we see Richard & Anthony engaged in simple reminiscences, where we learn how much Anthony loved and was proud of his big brother. OK - Anthony's a lovely kid - we get it.
However, at the end we learn 1) that Richard hated him. He hated his 'spastic brother' who was a 'fur-king embarrassment to me' and more importantly, 2) that Anthony _died_ quite a while before. What?? Suddenly the penny drops.
All those cozy reminiscences between R & A, were actually Richard coming to love his (deceased) disabled brother. He realises what a lovely kid he was, and how much Anthony adored him.
Richard gives away a twinge of shame during the 'When you came to my school' reminiscence. Maybe Anthony's school mates were ALL disabled. They marveled at Richard who was brilliant at running and football, and they all held his hand - which Richard obviously didn't mind, and probably enjoyed - the adulation.
However, Anthony _didn't_ hold Richard's hand. Why not? My guess is that at that time, Richard viewed Anthony as a 'fur-king embarrassment'. There was a slight awkwardness during the reminiscence when that fact was remembered.
Anyway, on his journey, Richard learns to love Anthony, and exclaims that right at the end, in the cupboard where Anthony hanged himself. Richard proclaimed himself a monster, because HE didn't stop Anthony being bullied. Richard washed his hands, joined the Army and effed off away, leaving Anthony vulnerable to those despicable pigs. I think that's why Richard couldn't kill that last guy, because he'd done nothing worse than Richard - just stood to one side and let it happen.
A tremendous story from Paddy Considine. An incredibly moving horror story. How does that even work?
Thank you for this comment Ian I admittedly do miss small details like that a lot in film and I always wondered about that bit where he said he was an embarrassment and why he never held his hand. This is a fantastic insight which shows in even more detail how incredible this film is.
An exerpt from an article about the film: The actor then noted that the idea for Dead Man’s Shoes came from a time when he and Meadows were talking about the kind of malevolent occurrences that had gone on in their Midlands hometowns. “They were kind of atrocities, but they’d gone unnoticed and unrecognised,” he said. “Horrible things had happened, but they’d been done in the name of leisure almost.”
“We started talking about incidents and thought, ‘Well, nobody ever really paid for that. Those guys are still going around today,'” Considine added. “[There’s] the idea of the brother coming back after ten years and kind of making the basic bones of it as a revenge movie.”
i think from an outside perspective, outside of the UK people don't perceive that the quiet towns and villages in England could have this kind of thing happen (obviously i know it's not a true story) but yeah, these type of things did happen, i think every working class area in the North and Midlands will have had those people like Anthony in their community who everyone bullied and took advantage of and that there's a lot of shit holes with shitty people living in them, the "hard men" and drug dealers etc are well know and looked upto in these areas even though they're shitty people. There was a deaf kid on my estate and he got bullied badly one time even got tied up with chains and left in a shed, someone heard him screaming. Other things happened like people giving him joints that were made with allsorts laced in them and see what they did to him. This film hits hard. Toby Kebbel lived in the same town as me.
Fantastic real reaction! The twist gets you every time💔
Aye 😢
Yess!! So glad you did this. KILL LIST is another banger.
@@DreSttarr-yi7lz Definitely
Kill list is one of the very few movies that has stayed with me for almost a decade after watching it, Masterpiece in cult wicker man type of horror, Neil maskells latest movie "Bull" which was on Netflix quite recently is good and has similar vibes to dead man's shoes
@@ironcrusader728 i havnt seen kill list nor bull so thanks guys
The reaction to finding out about Anthony was amazing. Such a powerful twist.
Fantastic
The gang leader is Gary Stretch., a world class boxer in his day
Stretch vs Eubank is a great watch.... he was giving Eubank the best spanking he'd ever tasted until in went wrong...
Let's just say he was a boxer
And a lot of reports of being very similar to Sonny in real life... Came back to haunt him though.... Got sparked out 😂
Such a great film, seen it hundreds of times but the "reveal" still brings me to tears
yeah up until the reveal i was guessing the guys had gang raped Anthony.... that would've worked as a plot line too though.
I love your reactions. The most pure, and honest I've ever seen. Keep up the great work. My favourite movie from Shane Meadows, glad you enjoyed it.
These early Shane Meadows films were so raw and authentic and so evocative of emotion and tension and atmosphere, they are both classic films that will stand the test of time. The foreboding medieval music goes so well with many scenes in Dead Mans Shies.
Brilliant film. "A room for Romeo Brass " shows you his real acting qualities. 👍🏻
Time for the this is england series who agrees
Just a masterpiece in movie making in my opinion ,raw,real and human, nothing flashy just storytelling and fine acting ,i was one of many comments to recommend this film,thankyou for reacting to it 👌
The two little lad's mum is Shaun's mum from This is England.
She's an old mate of mine, buzzing for Jo!
I only clicked when watching Chrissy reaction. The emotion on her face when Mark's telling her feels so real. Amazingly powerful scene
@@octaviussludberry9016 she looks well different without a perm ;)
Its paddys real life wife and kids.
@@craiggoodfellow1248 Great acting.
The best depiction of an acid trip I’ve ever seen, kind of gave me flashbacks, though not under the same circumstances lol
In case no one else mentions it, Toby Kebbell who plays Anthony doesn’t even have learning difficulties, but I think he plays the part so well and so respectfully it’s a fantastic performance.
Hi, just found you, Chrissie. This is one of those films that stayed with me for a helluva long time. I laughed, sobbed, yipped and screamed! It's a masterclass in acting by all involved, especially Paddy, Toby and (funnily enough) Gary. I've watched it 4 times over the years, and have been meaning to watch it again recently, I think tonight.
Thank you for your very real reaction to a very special and criminally underrated film.
Fun film fact: Both the brothers actors (Paddy Considine and Toby Kebbel) BOTH played the role of a real life person called Rob Gretton in two different films. 24 hour Party people and Control. Both illustrating the life of Joy Division (the band).
Another example of good violence. Ray Shoesmith would be proud.
Hahaha 💯
Chyene-Stoking is a pattern of shallow breathing usually before death.
I've been waiting for this!
Such an amazing powerful movie. Always makes me cry at the end. Feels like I've been punched in the stomach.
The graffiti on the wall basically means death rattle. The type of breathing usually before someone dies.
Thanks for that, i thought it was a kind of pepper. :)
What Anthony was experiencing when he was hanging
I only got around to seeing this last year. Perfectly captures the depressing nature of some small towns. But that ending was just mental. Really wasn't expecting it. Top top movie
One of my top 3. Was lucky enough to be at the premier. Still gives me shivers...what a movie - paddy and tobys performances are insane.
The way Richard (Considine) is dressed, is near enough exactly like John Rambo in First Blood. Combat boots, jeans (albeit flared in this case), M-65 field jacket (the army jacket choice of nutters) and his kit bag.
One of thr greatest and most underrated British film ever made
I love revenge movies, but this one was pretty tough to watch. Chrissie, thanks for getting yourself in the best possible "head space" first before doing this - it is much appreciated. 🙂
I’ve never seen your channel or your reactions before, but as you’re reacting to one of the greatest British films made, il drop a sub!!! Great vid 🫡
I'll take it! 😄
@@chrissiereacts hahaha great r reaction 🫡
Neil Bell, the tall drug dealer man with the big ears (Soz) is also in Dune 1 as the Sardukar Bashar talking to David Dastmalchian in the rain. 🙃
HOLY SHIT
Masterpiece 👌🏻... love this film
Similar vein but more feel good is Wild Bill. The English one. Directed by Dexter Fletcher.
ive been looking forward to this
How can you not cry to this it's heart wrenching
amazing film, love your honest reaction and emotion too it, you weren't the only person who shed a tear watching
Thankyou for sharing this film ,it was humorous at times but definitely surrounded by a very dark undertone.I must say that your reaction was touching.
Cheyne Stoking is an irregular breathing pattern that some people experience before they die .
''cheyne stoking' is a breathing pattern people have before they die. The guy who plays the main bad guy was an ex champion british boxer! (ps i love how at 16:03 he's so high he think she's still holding a cross bow and tries to shoot richard lol)
I work around all the film locations , one of my favourite films, a Shane meadows masterpiece.
Your reactions to this made this watch a thousand times better. It’s a proper roller coaster of emotions and you don’t know where you’re at laughing or heartbroken. Just subscribed, love a good watch reaction ❤😊
Thank you! :)
Absolutely brilliant film, excellent performance by Paddy Considine
I seen this movie when it was released and living in England I can tell you this is film is super accurate with the times and settings, I've seen this happen In real life and Shane meadows captures everything perfectly 10/10
I live near Matlock & close to Nottingham, this is a monster ghost story played with top class cast.
I’m only round the corner. Warp made an absolutely masterpiece, that just happens to be shot up the road!
You seem to be on a run of watching my favourite stuff. Really enjoying it. Keep on keeping on.
When Richard spray paints, the words Cheyne-Stoking is a reference to Cheyne-Stokes breathing is an abnormal pattern of breathing commonly seen as patients approach death. It is named for the physician's John Cheyne and William Stokes, who first described the pattern in the early 1800s.
Patients who experience Cheyne-Stokes breathing will take several breaths followed by a long pause before regular breathing resumes. These cycles of breathing will become increasingly deeper and can be difficult for family members as they wait for the final breath to come. So in a way, it's a sinister physiological message to them that they are now on borrowed time, though I would hazard a guess that they do not know what it means. Really subtle and clever too, and the first really clear indication of Richards's intent too.
I just found your channel earlier and I absolutely love your reactions, I watched Dead Man’s Shoes recently so I guess you got suggested. Love your emotion
Thank you!! ☺️
Well, you have my subscription. It was really refreshing to see you analysing and not doing fake exaggerated reactions. I liked how you connected this film back to TIE and how Meadows uses stock footage for context. Cool!
Thank you! 😊
@@chrissiereacts my pleasure 👍
Love this film. The switch between humour and drama is so well handled.
Well there it is! Well worth the wait! And might I also suggest Sightseers again. A very dark British comedy about a caravan holiday!
Oh blimey yes! Forgot about that. A proper ‘no wtf’ ending 😂🙄
Why is he so hellbent on treating Anthony that way?
I remember Paddy saying in an interview at the time something about people in deprived areas with nothing to do committing atrocities as a form of entertainment.
I grew up on a council estate in the UK, and the things done to Anthony in this film are absolutely a true reflection of everyday reality.
Meadows is one of a small few of British filmmakers who shows the reality of life in the UK; it's grim, it's depressing, but it's true, for what that's worth.
A great reaction. Really enjoyed watching an American enjoying such a British film. I love that it made you cry and all the emotional beats hit. I think one of the things that makes it great is he doesn't demonise the villains. They're never cartoon bad guys. He really understands those relationships.
A room for romeo brass is another Shane meadow film came out around the same time as this, paddy Constantine is in it.
I dont know how you are picking what to watch but Kudos. This is not that well known even in England where I live and its set there. This is an amazingly realistic portrayal of small town England. Paddy Considine is god level in this. I cried like a baby the first time I saw this.
The end really makes you understand his rage towards these men. Great movie
The drug scene makes me flashback and sets off a panic attack in me, thats how good shane is at creating that moment
Superb film. Somehow manages to capture how close brotherhood can be.
An unbeatable masterpiece. Thank you I really loved watching your reactions. ❤
"You're fuckin there mate! Now get in your car and fuck off!" Absolute bad ass!
This is one of my all time favourite films !
Your reaction to that scene with Anthony was exactly like my own when i first seen this movie. Complete shock and heartbeat at the same time. I love movies, but this one is probably the most powerfully emotional movies I've ever seen. Even watching this reaction video filled me tears again. Absolutely heartbreaking stuff.
First of all thank you for reacting to this❤ ... hardly no one has ...even though I've asked over 30+ .... fantastic film ...your reaction was amazing
I wish more people would react to this movie, it's amazing!
This is up there with one of my all time fav films great reaction
Cheyne stoking is the breathing pattern of somebody who is dying. Richard is ex special forces.
Yay, glad you liked it. Was always one of my favourite films by Meadows.
Paddy Consadine , who plays Richard is rated as a top class actor over here in the UK and if its something that we do well over here is turn out top quality actors n he's one of the best..
Great that you are watching such dark films. Here are 3 films which are harrowing but are amazing.1. Romper Stomper. 2. Bone Tomahawk. 3. Come and See.
I don't know if I want to watch someone go through watching Come and See. Truly excellent film, it's something I'm not sure I want to watch again.
Come and see is the best film I will only ever see once but one everyone should see at least once
@@MrPboys1 Same I own it on VHS and have watched 1.5 times. It's a masterpiece. There will never be anything like it.
Class movie, I remember seeing this for the first time and fell in love with it.
The holding the hand part hits real hard. He told his brother he didn't need to because he was ashamed of him. Such a fantastic film.
Brutal but understandable. Nice watching with you on this one
An outstanding film......and reaction!
Btw did you know the movie was shot in 18 days and 2 weeks before filming started it was going to be a comedy but someone pulled out so Shane and Paddy re wrote it .I'm glad they did .
I lovw how raw you've kept this, Shane Meadows does this so well. A wild rollercoaster emotional overload. It reminds me of the bullies I grew up with, and for some reason I would idolise these kids.
Getting forced to do psychedelic drugs is seriously damaging
It is just an epic horror film, extremely well executed. Fun fact, you don't see any dealers being driven around in a spam tin car, but the story of the 2CV was that where Shane grew up, there was a gang that did exactly that so he included it in the film.
It’s funny because this was just Britain for a lot of us.
One of Shane Meadows' best filums.
filums?! is yas fram nowcasal?!
behold my best Geordie accent!
Definitely one of my all time favourites! Great to see someone's first hand impression!
It's one of those films you can watch again and again great film outstanding performances
I've watched this reaction twice now. Good film. Good person.
This film was made in 18 days. Was originally going to be a comedy and lost the lead actor weeks before filming started, Not Paddy. In those 18 days they filmed alternate scenes with Richard and Anthony. They would film the same scene with them both in and then with just one of them in the scene.
Great reaction. Your choices of films are top drawer !
Thank you! ☺️
I've watched this movie lots,but actually never shedded a tear till watching your reaction video
I saw this when it came out. Now, for whatever reason...it made me bawl my eyes out watching it again with my son. I always thought this was a great film. But it's even better than I remembered. The little boy in my photo is nearly 15 now...I should update my profile pic!
It took me 3 attempts to finish this, I came across guys like that when I was young. A very real scary movie!
The main bad guy in charge was a boxer in real life called Gary Stretch who fought Chris Eubank for a world title.
Never forget seeing this the first time, I was about 16 and had finsihed a shift at work I was smoking at the time had a big one and this came on.
It was mental.
