When Robin Williams passed, Twitter was full of people quoting lines from his movies, but by far the most common was this. "Oh Captain, my Captain." So heartbreaking.
to indeed be a god
The day I found out on the news. I stood on my chair pointed towards the t v and said "o Captain my Captain"
Originally Cameron was supposed to get up on his table as well but the kid playing him opposed it. He said it wasn't in his character, and that he had remained a conformist and loyal to the school system. The director agreed and Cameron stays in his seat.
I'm glad they went in that direction, it makes it seem more realistic! Thank you for watching :)
I've watched 2 or 3 acted versions of Midsummer's Night's Dream, and THIS version, which is just a few scenes for this movie, THIS the version I dearly wished had might have been an extra in the blueray disc, I would have LOVED that.
Perhaps then to me the fey might have some across as mischievous to me rather than mean spirited...
The kids standing on their desks at the end as their weaker-willed classmates remain seated with their head in their hands is one of the most powerful shots of the 1980's in cinema IMHO.
never ever apologize for crying at any well written script. if it doesn't make you cry it's not done well. I've seen this movie 10 plus times and I still cry. No apologies.
Thank you ❤️
I've seen this movie every year since 1989 and I still cry. Anyone who doesn't is dead inside. One of the most emotionally powerful movies ever.
Fortunately, Neil recovered from the gunshot wound and went on to combine his life's ambition with his father's wishes by playing a doctor on the TV series *House.*
This is a beautiful headcannon and I will choose to believe this as well 😀
Lol
I was so crushed by Neils death for so many years that watching House truly was therapeutic.
Still one of the strongest ending in movie history.
So powerful! It honestly gave me shivers 🙌🏽
Such a great payoff.
The whole scene leading to Neil’s death is just so brilliantly done with the cinematography and lighting. I remember watching this for the first time and I was shivering because I knew what was coming, and I didn’t want to believe it, but it was inevitable. Neal’s dream died as soon as his father showed up to witness the monologue that he performed for him.
The irony is that the play is called “A Midsummer’s Dream” and it’s performed during winter. The ending monologue tells the audience that the events that occurred are nothing but a dream and that it’s time to return to reality and carry on with our lives. This was Neal’s moment to tell his father what he truly felt. But instead, this is all that Mr. Perry saw. After that, it was over. It was pointless for Neil to tell him how he felt, in his office, where Mr. Perry asserts his dominance. Neil’s mind, body, and spirit are utterly shattered by the power that Mr. Perry presents. What’s even more heartbreaking is that Mrs. Perry didn’t even comfort his son, as if not even they connected or were able to communicate each other’s struggles. How she is unable to do anything about it. It’s such a hopeless and devastating moment.
The symbolism of his death is even more devastating. How he wears his costume, how he gets the last taste of the life he dreamed of. The life he has barely begun to live. Now gone forever, as he dies by the hands of his father’s gun. Symbolizing that his father killed him, and his hopes and dreams with it.
What’s even more heartbreaking is that Todd finally finds his Barbaric “Yawp”, as he screamed the name of his best friend. How he, unlike the others, was letting the cold hit him at full force.
@Mystic Mac if you don't like the movie why are you even watching a reaction of someone to it?
@Mystic Mac Aw, thats cute. Youre still a child.
For me it was when in the minute 4:19 , Keating is saying "all of us one day is going to stop breathing, turn cold and die" and the camera shows Neil. I even see the "turn cold" in the part where Neil opens the window and lets the cold breeze arrive to him
The parents reaction to finding Neil is so real, and visceral. Awakenings with Williams and Deniro is an emotional movie too. Based on a true story.
My thoughts exactly!! I completing lost it listening to them plead with grief 😢😭
I haven’t heard of Awakenings but I’ll add it to my list… I’ll bring the tissues this time!
And thank you for watching! 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Seconded. Awakenings is one of his best.
If ya want to see the dad again watch Robocop... (1987) version
@@jayeisenhardt1337 Or Total Recall (1990).
Christopher Reeve was Robin Williams close friend and was possibly the "Keating" in Robin's life that inspired him. When the movie premiered Reeve snuck into some theatres with the writer of DPS (Schulman) and in one they just caught the end with the students getting up on their desks, and the audience was giving a standing ovation. Tom Schulman looked across and Christopher Reeve had tears streaming down his face, he was so happy for Robin in that moment.
So you're in good company with a movie that made Superman cry.
What a cool story!
Oh really?? Wow that is an awesome story. Makes my heart melt. Thank you for sharing!
@@EveReacts They were best friends since College when they were roommates. Godfather's to each others kids. Robin was the first person at Chris's bedside when he broke his neck. Chris said when he first woke up from his accident and realized he was paralyzed he got so depressed and didn't know what he was going to do. Then a guy came into his room dressed as in surgical gown, mask, hat, dancing around his bed, ranting in a crazy russian accent. Chris saw that it was Robin and started to laugh. Robin raised Chris spirits to the point that Chris said to himself, "I'm going to make this better and learn to walk again. Robin payed most of Chris's Hospital bills. Chris lived longer than anyone with his type of injury. In the end Chris started to move his fingers and toes, and could breath on his own for a few hours a day. I like to think if Chris was still here Robin might too.
a beautiful movie. not just the plot, the characters etc, but the aesthetic. the fact that not everybody stood up at the end it makes the movie look more realistic. I watched it months ago and I must admit I'm still not over it, I cried with you haha.
You’re absolutely right! It made it so much more believable. I haven’t cried like that in a long time, thanks for crying along with me 😢❤️
As much a Robin Williams was known for being a comedian, I never much related to his humor. But in roles like this, he was SO brilliant. He was absolutely amazing in Good Will Hunting too. I wish he had made so many more dramatic movies because he was an incredible talent.
This film in particular definitely made an impact on me when i was 13-14 years old.
It was more than just a story centered around poetry, friendship, etc. but for me, it was about self realization; realizing that I am unique in my own way, even though that in itself is still challenging to this day. Great film!
Absolutely! Thank you for sharing. Such an important message about being true to yourself 🙌🏽
Yes, me too. I went through puberty with this movie. It really influenced my way of viewing the world.
Same here, I was 13 and this film had a tremendous impact on me, its perhaps my favorite film ever. Neils death was so traumatic that seeming him years later on House was very therapeutic for my soul. I still felt his death 15 years later when I first saw House.
One of my all-time favorite movies. It breaks my heart however seeing Robin crying at Neil’s desk knowing what will happen to Robin later in life. Really sucks.
So we all agree that the movie finishes after the play right?!
Oh absolutely! 🥲😫
wonderful reaction - you made me cry along with you!! there's a deleted scene that shows todd helping neil practice his lines by the lake on the night before the play, which is why todd ran there when he heard of neil's death (it was the last time he spoke with him). i love that scene so much because it really shows how strong their friendship was and how passionate and happy neil was about acting. it just makes the ending so much more painful :(
Oh wow that’s even more heart breaking 💔
I have no words to describe Robin Williams, he was a genius and one of the best actors in history
When this came out, new in theaters, this was the movie my now wife and I went to see for a first date.
Did your first date end in tears? 🥺🥺
@@EveReacts a few for the movie. As for my wife and I, we are together 30 1/2 years. Robin Williams was a class act gone far too soon
@@steveg5933 WOW, congratulations!
You’re absolutely right, gone too soon 😢
You gotta give it up for Kurtwood Smith (Neil's dad), a great actor who convinces you that his character thinks acting is stupid.
Reading up a bit on the film, the writer was a guy named Tom Schulman who based it on his own experiences attending a prep school in Tennessee where he had an inspirational English teacher named Samuel Pickering.
I could be wrong but I feel like Todd, the character played by Ethan Hawke, represents Schulman. The last shot of the film is of Todd - and you could imagine he grows up, inspired by Mr. Keating, and becomes a writer and writes about his experiences growing up.
Wow, that is so interesting! I can definitely see him using that as a source of inspiration for the movie. Incredible writing 🙌🏽
This is true. I live in Tennessee. I went to the school the film was based on, Montgomery Bell Academy, an all boys school in Nashville. So this film has always had a special place in my heart.
Robert Sean Leonard had such an amazingly expressive face in this film. I don't think he has ever had another role that good.
Brilliant. You know what I like about you Eve? You don't 'react' to things, you watch them. It might seem like a small difference. I like it. It's like watching a film WITH someone.
This movie is one of my favorite things in this world.
The real Star of this movie is director Peter Weir, Australia's greatest director. Here are 3 of his best that are just as great as DPS. "The Year Of Living Dangerously"(1982)Starring Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver. "Witness"(1985) Starring Harrison Ford, his only Oscar nomination. "The Truman Show"(1998) Starring Jim Carrey, his first serious role.
After I saw this, I had hated Neil's father more than any other movie character ever. Next time that actor showed up in a different movie, I felt a wave of rage; I think it took about three seasons of "That 70's Show' before I could look at him as Red and not the selfish bully that he was in DPS. I know it was the role, not the actor, but it still took me a long time to get over it.
I just stumbled upon your channel and watching you react to this movie got me to sub. This is one of so many amazing Robin Williams performances. Like you, no matter how many times I watch this movie, I cry at the same scenes. It is such a fantastic movie with a powerful message. Not what most people expect from a Robin Williams movie. Thank you for sharing this and I look forward to seeing more of your content. Keep up the great work and stay safe.
Hi friend, thank you for the sub! I appreciate you watching ☺️ I agree such a powerful message and I just couldn’t hold it together at the end, it really touched me. Thank you, you stay safe too!
I was 16 when this movie came out in France and wrote a review in the school paper. People clapped at the end of the movie in the theatre. I almost embraced teaching as a career because of it.
There’s a hilarious Saturday Night Live sketch that spoofs the O Captain My Captain scene called Farewell Mr Bunting that I couldn’t possibly recommend more to watch and/or react to
I’ll have to check that out!
Yeah, it definitely works, maybe more than it really should!
I remember watching this in a movie theater as a teenager.. most of my teachers watched it too. The atmosphere during the final scene was very special. I remember the tears running down my cheeks 🙂
Shame you weren't there Eve.. but you were probably not yet born back then 😉
This movie wrecks me every single time. So heartbreaking and inspiring. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Favorite movie in the world. It's a poem itself, visually, metaphorically. Everything is placed perfectly and everything has a meaning and what I love is that that meaning can change depending on where you're at life everytime you watch it.
I can't forget the first time I saw it, it's just unforgettable.
Love your reaction!
Eve [during Midsummer Night's Dream]: "I have no idea what's going on here."
Me: I dated a high school English/theatre teacher for 3 years. Nobody knows what's going on during a high school Shakespeare production.
Also, the younger brother of one of my best high school friends shot himself when he was 16. It wasn't entirely dissimilar to Dead Poets; they were a military family, and he didn't want to serve. His brother, my friend, supported him, but his parents wouldn't hear of it.
This movie makes me cry everytime, is beautiful
Nice reaction. Love watching people finding out Dead Poets Society for the very first time. This film has the power to change lifes. Fact: When Mr. Keating get into the classroom at the end of the film, the empty desk is Charlie,s for refusing to sign against keating.
Great reaction (i was crying along with you lol)! You just got a new sub.
Thank you for the sub and for crying along with me 🥰❤️😢
An honor to be one of the first thousand subscribers of this channel. It’s gonna be huge! Great reaction!:)
Thank you so much for the sub and for your kind words!! 🥰
Henry David Thoreau's book Walden is a must read as well.
I can tell you that seeing this in the theater when it came out, the scene where all the boys are standing at the case and Keating is whispering 'Carpe Diem' as the black and white picture of the young men from a hundred years ago is shown was very impactful. It's one of those moments you can't escape because everyone knows it's true.
Hi, I just discovered your channel and watched your reaction to DPS which I would say is in my top 3 Favourite Movies of all time.
You don't need to apologise for being emotional at the way the story unfolds. I discovered the film about 30 years ago and it still affects me that way too. I have just had to wipe tears away just watching your genuine reaction.
Everyone should have a teacher like Mr Keating (or at least an influential adult) Someone who encourages you to think differently and follow the path that you want to follow. That way you will end up doing something that you love doing and we never forget the person who showed us that we could go that way. Neil in DPS would never have got the fulfilment from being a doctor that he would have got from acting, if only his parents had understood that.
Thanks again for sharing your reaction with us. Bless you. Xxx
Tom Schulman who wrote the screenplay based this on some of his school experience and Todd was the guy who represented him at that age. Kurtwood Smith who played the father was asked years later what he made of the film, he said that the father does love his son but it shows in the wrong way, he smothers and controls him. At the premiere Kurtwood Smith took along an old male friend of his whose relationship with his son was just like that he played in the film. The lights went down the film played and when the lights went up hie friend was sobbing, he'd seen himself in the film played out and from that day on he changed his relationship with his son. That's why I act Smith said, plays or movies can and do change lives. It's about as Keating says following your gut your instinct, even in the face of the conformity that tries to tie you down, you must find your voice and use it, even at a price at a cost, it will cause you pain and you will suffer but thats the price we pay for thinking for ourselves and not following the herd. And Robin was genius here, so too the director Peter Weir.
A man dominates his one son,
Insists his semester is done
Because he disobeys
By performing in plays
So the boy kills himself with dad's gun.
Ouch that hurt reading that! A poem about DPS ❤️
One of the greatest films ever made a true masterpiece Dead Poets Society directed by Peter Weir starring Robin WIlliams, Robert Sean Leonard, Ethan Hawke, Kurtwood Smith and music score by Maurice Jarre. The famous line in this film is "Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary". Thank you Eve Reacts great reaction very nice awesome😊😊😊
Carpe Diem really pulled on my heartstrings, such a powerful phrase. Thanks for watching along Pedro ☺️☺️☺️
@@EveReacts You're welcome😊🙏
Hook is one of my favorite Robin Williams films too! Along with this one, actually. RIP to the GOAT 😭
I actually graduated from the same all boys prep school in Nashville, Tennessee as the film’s writer. The school upon which the film was based. So it means more to me than most any film I can imagine. Will always have a special place in my heart.
I always love seeing the student that looked like he hardly cared stood up when the others did its speaks volume not only was he affected by the words his teacher told him throughout the year but the memories he has with those around him he never associated with
Great reaction. Nice to see genuine feeling. (this movie and these reactions still get tears from me 20 years later) Well done.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching :)
Such a beautiful reaction to one of my favorite films of all time! So heartfelt and genuine 💖
In my high school American Literature class, we watched this movie. The poetry book we bought for the class also had a terrible introduction. My teacher said we could rip it out like in Dead Poets Society. We stood on top of our desks when we read the poem “O Captain! My Captain!”.
My high school also had a club called the Living Poets Society, where we got together to write poetry. Sometimes we asked if students in the club wanted to submit their work to the literary magazine on campus.
Aww that's amazing could you tell me more?
NGL, always want to read poetry after watching this.
(And always cry after Neil and Oh captain, my captain)
Carpe diem indeed!
The joy for a watcher is to feel the thrill of sharing a great movie with a friend and watching them experience the greatness… thank you for the transparency.
Love it! I always use Nuwanda as my bowling screen name. Lol
Haha I love that!
Haha I love that!
Definitely a great movie, I actually saw this one in the theater, I was maybe a year to young to fully appreciate it, but my sister who was 2 years older was balling when we left.
If you want some recommendations for some good movies to react to, by top 5 movies are:
1. In the Name of the Father
2. Empire of the Sun
3. Almost famous
4. The Abyss (director's cut)
5. Big Trouble
I guarantee that with the first 2, you will definitely be crying at the end for each of those.
Yeah, I’m glad I watched it when I was older to really appreciate it. Well your sister and I have that in common 😢
Thank you for your recommendations! I haven’t watched any of those movies so I’ll pop them on my list. Thanks so much for watching 😊
Though you've seen a lot of Robin Williams here are some suggestions, "Good Morning, Vietnam", "The World According to Garp", "Jumani" and "The Birdcage". You would enjoy any of these you haven't seen. ✌️😎
You just made my day
That is so sweet, thank you ❤️
I've seen this movie about 10 times, and it hits me just as hard every time. I was right there with you. What a beautiful movie and message. Just discovered your channel and subscribed. If you haven't seen it I recommend What Dreams May Come, another one Robin Williams stars in, deep and beautiful.
I didn’t expect it to hit me the way it did, thank you for watching ☺️ I’ve added What Dreams May Come on my list, thanks for your recommendation!
What Dreams May Come is an absolutely gorgeous film. Visually, it's just on a whole other level. Narratively, though, I pretty much hated it. It's all subjective, of course, but I certainly wouldn't put it on a list of must-see Robin Williams films, myself.
"Look at me" she's says as she is still totally slaying it. Lol
The shot at 27:04 is so majestic and a thing of beauty. I have it on my computer as my background screen saver. The boys standing (the ones he got through to) in juxtaposition to the ones who remained seated. Still makes me so emotional. GREAT choice for your reaction! If I may be so bold as to recommend some other Robin Williams gems to react to:
The Fisher King (1991) and Awakenings (1990).
It was shot amazingly! Mr. Keating looking up at the boys and those boys standing up in solidarity, oh my heart couldn’t take it!
Thank you for watching and for your recommendations ☺️☺️
Fisher King…👍
@@EveReacts Goose Bump Alert: Notice how it shows Neil in the shot at 4:20 on the line "...stop breathing, turn cold and die."
I've seen this film numerous times and just now caught that. So subtle. The director of this film, Peter Weir, was always one of my favorites. He's a master painter except he uses film instead of paint.
26:20 Eve, your reaction made me cry so much for a film I have enjoyed all my life. Thanks for sharing. When you said "My heart" at 26:54 I felt specially connected with you.
I don’t have many fav films, but surely DPS is one of them. Thanks for your sincere reaction😊
For me, one of the best movies ever made. And Robin Williams...OMG, so so missed. RIP.
The actor who plays Mr. Nolan just passed away in may at the age of 106.
Such genuine reactions - you've got yourself a new subscriber. 🙂
A beautiful reaction, thanks for sharing it with us, you are a real sweetheart.
When I saw this in the movie theater, I loss my breath when he stood on that desk and couldn't breathe throughout that entire scene.
How do we come to experience such a rich palette of feelings that we do watching "Dead poets society" ? Well, It's honest and uncompromising. It shows us both the beauty and the horror, the extraordinary and the mundane. It is also realistic about what we do when we have to make the hard choices in life. Above all it is a heartfelt movie that shows us that there's poetry in those everyday struggles. Those that we don't perhaps notice in others, but which are so deeply embedded in ourselves.
Peter Weir is a masterful director. Here are some prominent examples of his brilliance: "Picnic at hanging rock", "Gallipoli", "The year of living dangerously", "Witness", "Fearless", "The Truman show" and " Master and commander."
Wow, that sums it up beautifully. Truly a magnificent film that touched my heart.
Oh, I didn't know Peter Weir directed The Truman Show, another movie that I absolutely love! I'll have to check out the rest.. thank you for your recommendations :)
I remember when I was in high school I bought a Henry David Thoreau book and I had not seen this movie. I was just a different breed.
High school English class I remember the teacher she made us read The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail. *wiki* "leading up to his night spent in a jail in Concord, Massachusetts. Thoreau was jailed for refusing to pay a poll tax on the grounds that the money might be used to pay for the Mexican-American War, which he opposed." and maybe a bit of Walden or something I don't remember. Henry seems like a off the grid guy, or like so many libertarians saying, "starve the government of taxes till they do what's right." I musta thought it was good cuz I know I got the print outs still of that jail play.
Forgot all about so many good scenes as it's been so long. This movie scene where everyone loves to march and sync up so naturally. Nobody realizes just how scary the kids clapping then getting in step really is. They are doing it themselves right now not even realizing. We used to protect people, now they get demonized just for disagreeing. Sayings like “I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake” have been coming up in the conversation and I haven't even seen that movie A Man for All Seasons. Sad that most people wont get the meaning or even listen to so many words that used to be a simple truth about this country.
As long as we're doing Robin Williams, have you seen Good Will Hunting? It gets a little precious in places but it's a fine film overall with a VERY affecting performance from Mr. Williams.
I have scene this movie and I thought it was great! Robin Williams was stellar in it 🙌🏽
Ugh. I just watched it for the first time because it popped up for free on CZcams. When I was done sobbing over the movie, I got recommended this video by the algorithm. And so I sobbed again ...right along with you. Neil. Poor Neil. Great video, O Captain! My Captain!
I thought Good Will Hunting was Robin Williams' best movie. But now that I've seen this, GWH takes second. DPS is his best movie hands down.
😢😢 sorry for making you cry again! Thanks for watching 🙌🏽
@@EveReacts Don't apologize. Hehe. It's a great thing to feel something that deeply. Why be afraid of admitting it? On the contrary. I am an aspiring writer myself - not of poetry - but fiction in general. If I can ever write something that makes people feel emotions that deeply, I'll have "ascended to the heights of the Gods", as they say in the movie.
Wonderful film with excellent performances by cast and production I team as well. Loved the reaction. Peace!
Your reaction was incredible! Just subscribed because of it.
Thanks so much Ethan, I’m glad you enjoyed it ☺️❤️
uh, you mean GORGEOUS cry...and that's never pulled off by anyone! Keep reacting, your early vids are starting really well!
Ohh thank you, that’s very kind of you to say!
Two comments. First, Jim Valvano in his famous final speech (for sports enthusiasts) when dying of cancer says it is important each and every day to do three things: laugh, think, and have your emotions moved to tears. Well, DPS does all three. Second, I am a retired college professor and several times students have said my teaching style reminded them of the Mr. Keating character from DPS. It is one of the most endearing compliments I have ever received. Thanks for your reaction.
"I've got to tell you what I feel!" ... "nothing..."
That wasn't just him backing out. That was the truth, too.
Thank you for sharing. It is clear simply in your facial expression that you get the point in this film. What is poetry, or life for that matter, without the ability to truly empathize with the experiences of others. To do one's best to understand someone else's vision of the world, to understand their pain as well as joy. It is not an easy thing to do, but well worth the effort. Opening our minds and hearts may feel like the greatest risk we can take, and yet, when we do, the rewards can be miraculous.
27:20 There''s no need to talk. This moment speaks for itself. Also makes me cry every time. ^^
oh and a little side note a majority of Robin Williams lines were improvised. not in the script. when they started shooting Robin Williams followed the script and the director didn't feel it was working so he said improvise, so Robin Williams improvised. which is why the tractor said after the movie would not have been the movie it was without Robbins improvisation. I true genius
Wow that makes it even more impressive. I’ve heard that he improvises a lot which I understand for comedy but the fact he also did it for this movie is mind blowing. A true talent 🙏🏽
theres a deleted scene of neil and todd practicing lines for neils play on the dock and i really wish they would have kept it in because it not only builds their relationship but also explains why todd ran to the dock in the first place
I've never seen someone cry so hard with no tears. That's a very unique talent 😆
Loved your reaction. Please react to Good Will Hunting one of my favorite not only Robin Williams film but all time favorite films.
Hello! Thank you so much ☺️ I have watched Good Will Hunting, so I’m happy to do a commentary on it, but it would be my second time watching! It was a great film!
One of the sweetest reaction videos I’ve ever seen.
This movie still breaks me to this day. Every time. It's the combination of the mother's repeated shreaking "He's alright!" and then Todd finally finding and letting out his own true barbaric yawp, and it's Neil's name. Like can somebody hand me a box of tissues please? and maybe a blanket and a candy bar too? However, as a firm literature and poetry lover, this movie stil fulfills me at the same time. In a weird way, this movie is one of the reason why I fell in love with lit/poetry. I first saw it when I was in middle school. It made me see books and words in a new light, and from that point on I have been proud to love lit/poetry. I now work in an independent bookstore, and my specialty is lit/poetry. If I had become an english teacher which a lot of pople told me I should have been, I would be a Mr. Keating.
Yes, it was the dad from “That 70’s Show” Kurtwood Smith, he played Red Forman.
Another great robin williams film is good will hunting.
Great movie. I like college movies like this . You should see other similar movies like The Emperor Club and School Ties. A great Steven Hawk you should see is Gattaca. Also other great Robin Williams you should see are Patch Adams and Awakning
Thanks for the recommendations! ☺️☺️
You can see how Charlie was Neil best mate, he is the one who tells Todd He is dead and when they are praying Charlie can’t even sing he just stares blank. He is also expelled at the end which reaffirms again his personality and how he left as Niel left. In some deleted scenes it can be seen how the dead’s poet society carry Neil’s coffin. Neil was the leader and the one who moved all of the guys, he put a smile on everyone
Not to say is in my top 3 favorite movies and all the hidden but not so hidden messages about the pleasures of life and how they are related to words, feelings and poetry. It is only said once in the movie but “Carpe diem” is basically what it is, to grow older and don’t regret not doing things.
Great reaction. This is one of my favorite movies. Incredible ending.
I would like to recomrnd School Ties from 1992. It's also about a prep school in the 50s. It has an amazing young cast I know you will like it.
you are so kind!!! I love you, beautiful soul!
Little Trivia - the actor who portrays Gerard Pitts (James Waterston) is the the son of the actor Sam Waterston (Capricorn One, The Killing Fields, Law and Order, Newsroom and so on)
I hope you do more movies because you're really good at it!!!😀😀😀
Wow, you made me cry watching YOU cry lol. That was a wonderful reaction to a beautiful movie. Robin Williams is great and often makes me emotional ( Try watching him in PATCH ADAMS! ). When you started crying, I wanted to give you a big hug omg!! So glad you liked the movie. Keep smiling 🤘 🙂
Great reaction...you've got a great soul :)
Wonderful reaction Eve. When this movie came out every graduation cap had carpe diem written on it. This is my favorite Robin movie and it's motivated me to work with kids and young adults to make even a small impact. Only sad part is that we knew what was coming for Robin. RIP Captain my Captain.
This is in my top 5 movies of all time. Considering I also went to the same college prep school as Ethan Hawke, (this school looks kinda similar to our school and campus) it certainly hits home. So many powerful scenes and great acting across the board with a simple message of finding your voice and using different forms of self-expression whether it be art, music, etc.
I just finished the book and I'm dying
for real...this film took me out to see the world better! And i found myself and who i am!
Eve, I've watched hundreds of reactions of sad songs and sad movies since the pandemic began, and you are the very first reactor to shed real tears. So many pretend to cry, and the act they put on is as transparent as it is pathetic. Thank you for being authentic, and thank you for being vulnerable in front of us. :) ps~Your "cry face" is not ugly, but rather, another pretty side of you.
I honestly didn’t even realise that this movie would have hit me so hard! Glad I could share a genuine reaction with everyone, that’s what it’s all about. Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏽🥰
@@EveReacts The pleasure is mine, Eve. If I may recommend an extraordinary film that you probably haven't seen, I'd love to see your reaction to, "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest", starring Jack Nicholson. The 1975 film won 3 of the 4 big Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Actress. it's got a small amount of profanity in it, but it's so infrequent you can easily edit it out. It combines dark comedy with searing drama, and is almost universally considered by film critics to be one of the finest films ever made. Please don't research it, as spoilers abound. Trust me, you'll love the film.
@@Cosmo-Kramer admittedly I have watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, however it was ages ago when I was young so I don’t really remember it! I’d be happy to watch it again however it wouldn’t technically be my first time watching. I do love Jack Nicholson though, so it could be a great one to watch again nonetheless! Thank you again and please let me know if you have any other suggestions 😃
@@EveReacts Eve, the most important thing a Reactor can do is be honest with her viewers regarding her familiarity with whatever movie, song, TV show she's reacting to. So I'm sure that as long as you tell us in the beginning of the reaction video that you have seen the film before but don't really remember it, people will still enthusiastically watch your reaction. Besides, you NEED to see this film as an adult, so I think you should do a reaction video of it. :) But, if you'd rather not, then yes, I do have other suggestions. Have you seen the 1955 Alfred Hitchcock thriller, "Rear Window", starring Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly? It ranks among my Top 10 films of all time! Film critics love it, as well.
@@Cosmo-Kramer I’d have to be honest, I couldn’t fake it! Okay done, I’ll put it on my list. I feel like movies hit differently when you’re an adult rewatching them. Thank you so much for your recommendations!! I haven’t watched a lot of old movies so I’d love to react to them for something different ☺️☺️
A couple suggestions if you haven't seen them for more of Robin Williams...
Good Will Hunting
The Fisher King
...and a smaller film where he is in a supporting (but memorable) role, House Of D
(with an appearance from his daughter, Zelda)
Thank you for reacting to this film.
I cry everytime.
So, you already knew what Barney said, (how I met your mother) but you didn't listen to him?
"The end? Tears!" and he is making a motion with his hands like there are rivers of tears.
You should have listened to Barney.
I thought it was just a figure of speech haha! I didn’t realise if he blubbering by the end of it 😭😭😭😅
Hi Eve, I loved your reaction to "Dead Poet's Society", which is one of my favourites. You can also see the depth of talent in Robin Williams if you watch "What Dreams May Come" which I loved and "Good Will Hunting" an amazing film. Then there is "Dances with Wolves" of course, "The Mission", also quite beautiful and the truly wonderful "Immortal Beloved". There are so many great movies out there. Enjoy!
Hey Frank, thank you for your suggestions and I appreciate you watching along ☺️☺️
@@EveReacts Hi Eve, no worries as they say in Australia. Here are some more: "Born Free", "A Ring of Bright Water", "Forest Gump", "Gladiator", "Roman Holiday", "Dr Zhivago" (old 60's version), "A Beautiful Mind", "Rear Window", "Last of the Mohicans", "The Thin Red Line", "Monsignor Quixote", "Clara", "Amadeus", "To Kill a Mocking Bird", "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", "Dirty Dancing" (with Patrick Swayze), "The Colour Purple", "Terms of Endearment", "The Time Traveler's Wife", "Out of Africa".
Oh I forgot "Somewhere in Time" and "Legends of the Fall", "The English Patient".
@@frankb3551 wow wow wow! Thanks for taking the time to write out some more recommendations! I have seen some of the ones you’ve mentioned (such as Forrest Gump, one of my favourite films). But I’ll definitely put the other on my recommendations list! Thanks so much Frank 😃
@@EveReacts Of the ones I mentioned I would say that "The English Patient" (Ralph Fiennes, Kristin Scott Thomas) is an absolute must. It is a deep film, very beautiful and full of the kind of love that everyone dreams of in life. The same is true of "Somewhere in Time" (Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour) and of course "Dr Zhivago" (Omar Sheriff, Julie Christie) which is sublime, the music alone is beyond imagining. My father said that when it came out people said that it more Russian than Russian. These are films full of love and loss. It seems that older films are better in this regard although "The Time Traveler's Wife" (Rachel McAdams, Eric Bana) is more recent and also truly beautiful.
Then there are others like the delightful "Monsignor Quixote" (Alec Guiness, Leo McKern) with Alec Guiness an old priest of a small Spanish village and Leo McKern the communist mayor. Then there's the beautiful "Out of Africa" (Robert Redford, Meryl Streep) with the divine score by John Barry who also did "Somewhere in Time". In "What Dreams May Come" you get to see what a man will do for love. In "The Mission" (Robert de Niro, Jeremy Irons), this time for the love of God. In "Immortal Beloved" you will hear the incredible music of Beethoven which delves deeply into the soul, especially in his 9th Symphony and his Piano Concertos 4th and 5th especially. My sister and I saw it together in the cinema, we cried almost the whole film.
All the others are also amazing films with "Clara" the most recent, you can see it on amazon prime. It has a real married couple playing the two main roles. Have fun watching them but be prepared for a deep emotional response.
Love this :), the director's Australian too xx
