That scene where Charlie finds out his brother was the rain man. wow
Both hearth breaking and heart warming
About time somebody did this classic.
Thanks for watching ☺️☺️
Came here to say the same!! Great movie
Yes, I've been waiting for this one too!
@@EveReacts When Charlie said to Raymond that K-Mart sucks , then you said that K-Mart is amazing , do you still have those stores in Australia ? I thought they have gone out of business . There are none left here in the USA .
@@EveReacts Dustin Hoffman won an Oscar for this performance
I wish I could give you a double "like" for choosing a film that MORE reaction channels should be featuring.
THANK YOU!! 😃
It's not like internet points means anything, anyway.
@@OriginalPuro but they right, that's why I'm here
quality of the film, or just the level of story they took on and deciding to react to it
@@OriginalPuro AND YET... HERE YOU ARE regardless and still boosting the algorithm right? LOL! 😂😂😂
Great reaction to a great film! We have a 19 year old autistic son. He's higher up on the spectrum than Raymond, but he's definitely not high functioning. Seeing Raymond get his chance to drive the car hit me because our son is obsessed with cars. We know that he would love to be able to drive one, but that would be too dangerous for him and everyone else. As an alternative, we got him a Playstation and he "drives" via car simulator games. It may not be the real thing, but it's worked out to be a pretty good alternative. Thanks for reacting to this one.
The "Hot Water Burn Baby"scene changes everything for Charlie. For his father, he sent Raymond away because his father didn't realize that he saved Charlie from being scalded, thinking he let him get burned because of his disability, but their father partially resented Charlie for having to send Raymond away. He chose Charlie over Raymond in that moment, and that was why the car Charlie took for a joyride was so important to him and why he refused to let him borrow it and called the cops on Charlie. It was the only thing the father and the eldest son had together.
Qantas Airlines used the scene of Raymond naming their safety record as the start of their safety video for years.
Dustin Hoffman improvised in the moment where he leans his head against Charlie's when Charlie is alone with him before he gets on the train.
Was surprised the part where Raymond spells out Charlie's name doesn't hit harder for you though!(Spelling out the name means that he truly loves the person and is saying "I love you" the only way he can.)
In the scene where Raymond leaned over and touched his head to Charlie's, that was not in the script. That was an ad lib by Hoffman. He won the Best Actor Oscar for this role.
I don't care what anyone says, Tom Cruise is a great actor. He arguably should have won an academy award for his performance in Magnolia, and he was brilliant in this film. I remember Michael Caine commenting on how Cruise didn't get his due on this film, and he didn't. I'm Generation X, and I'm glad I got to watch Cruise films as I came of age. Yeah he made a few clunkers, but all actors do. By in large he has done high quality work. Rain Man, Born on the 4th of July, Collateral, Magnolia, American Made, The Color Of Money. The list is long people. I don't think people will ever realize how good he's been until he's gone sadly. There are great actors who aren't movie stars, there are movie stars who aren't great actors. Cruise is BOTH, and that combination isn't as common as many might think.
Many people fail at differentiating craft and personal life, so they think "Tom Cruise and scientolobullshit, he's shit", when in fact he's one of the best and most successful actors in the world.
It's quite sad.
@@OriginalPuro They call him nuts for risking so much on stunts but give praise to Jackie Chan for the same thing. I say the same, he is nuts but that is why he is great.
100% agree when it comes to Tom Cruise and his performance in Magnolia, would like to see a reaction to that movie, so what'ya say Eve Reacts?
i think the issue is, its been so long since Tom Cruise has been in a movie where his acting skills mattered, arguably you'd have to go back 20 years at least.
c d
Tom Cruise really showed his range with this film. And cemented it with Collateral. Not the breezy character from so many of his earlier films. Whatever his foibles, the man has actual acting chops.
Haven't seen anyone else do this one yet... great react. Another like this to put on your list is 'Awakening'
Yes Awakning is great. Another one is Lorenzo Oil.
I was thinking the same thing. I'm kind of surprised about that, actually.
@@totomomo18 last time I watched that was high school when it first came out. It was a beautiful movie . My drama teacher wrote a play about AIDS my senior year and used that music.... such beautiful music! Every time I hear it in other movies and tv shows takes me right back to it.
@@doobernow Nusic from which movie Awakning or Lorenzo Oil
@@totomomo18 Lorenzo's Oil. I've seen Awakenings a lot. One of my favorite Robin Williams movies
This was such a good video, you are the first reaction video I have seen do this movie and you had a wonderful reaction to it! I am really enjoying your videos!
Thank you so much ☺️☺️
Ahh. Eve the scene when Charlie finds out Raymond is the Rainman hits all of us like a ton of bricks. I am a grown man who has seen this movie at least 30 times and it breaks me every time. It's probably one of the top 50 written scenes in movie history. To me at least. It just touches your soul at the deepest levels.
I really appreciate you watching this movie; it is a tearjerker. I also appreciate your vulnerability. Please keep them coming.
One of the most heartbreaking moments of this was the moment where Charlie realizes the doctor is correct. Raymond can't differentiate between going back to Wallbrook and staying with his brother. Still, the road trip and the relationship built between Charlie and Raymond make this one of my favorite films.
It teaches a lot about love when you think about it, and how important love is.
Great movie. Everyone was praising Dustin Hoffman, but Tom Cruise was equally amazing. One of my top favorite movies of all time.
Another great Dustin Hoffman movie is “Straight Time.”
Thank you for your recommendation!
@@EveReacts I second that! "Straight Time" is an underrated masterpiece starring Dustin Hoffman.
Something to be aware of was the context of the times in which this movie was made. The general public had a vague awareness that autism existed, but there really had never been a legitimate attempt to present it in media as honestly and accurately as the writers and director did in Rain Man. For the many people who'd never been exposed to autism, this film, which absolutely exploded the year it was released, was kind of an eye-opening moment. In the early parts of the reaction, you were rightly very critical of Charlie's inability to understand or handle Raymond's autism...but 32 years ago, EVERYONE was Charlie. All of the public campaigns to educate the public on what autism is, and the tremendous research that has been devoted to it, much of that came AFTER Rain Man was released.
People often say, "This film could never have been made today," about films that are now considered culturally inappropriate. The same thing could be said of Rain Man, but not because of inappropriateness. The story of Ray and Charlie takes place in a time when all of these massive campaigns to raise awareness and understand of autism haven't happened. In 2021, Charlie Babbitt would have a much more nuanced, if still incomplete, understanding of autism when meeting Raymond, and all of the struggles through the first few days would likely not have happened...especially with the instantaneous ability to find information and guidance on the world wide web, which didn't exist in 1989 either. Still a beautiful story, though.
What's inappropriate about it?
@@orangewarm1 maybe the fact that if you say you're autistic people don't believe you because you're "not like Rain Man". There are as many different types of autism as the number of autistic people. Some autistics are galaxies apart.
@@laspilly I’m autistic (aspergers) aka high functioning autism and I do have people ask me if I’m like rain man
You wrote about the way Charlie treated Raymond in the first half of the film, "...32 years ago, EVERYONE was Charlie." Well that's a gross mischaracterization of the times. Just because there was limited understanding of autism in that era does not mean that all people were devoid of compassion when dealing with people like Raymond. The way Charlie treated Raymond was not unusual for the time, no doubt. But there were plenty of people, both in and out of healthcare, who treated those like Raymond with compassion, patience, and respect--even if they never heard the word "autism" in their life. Crikey, be more careful with your sweeping statements.
@@Cosmo-Kramer I mean I forgot the movie as it's been so long but wasn't Charlie not a very good person to begin with? Charlie going wtf somebody stealing my money, to I have a brother and loving him...
Dustin Hoffman won an Oscar for best supporting actor in Rain Man. Definitely Definitely won the oscar.
Cruise was a hell of a young actor, going toe-to-toe with living legends like Hoffman and Paul Newman and, in this case, not getting overshadowed by a "stunt performance" by Hoffman. Sadly for those who love good acting, Cruise decided to become an action star and more or less stay in that space. Nice react!
I agree with you about Tom Cruise. I just don't understand why he veered away from dramatic roles like Jerry Maguire or Vanilla Sky in favor of making countless Mission: Impossible movies.
It's anything but a "stunt performance"
Such a wonderful film. I choke up every time. Thank you for your honest, insightful and beautiful reaction.
Wonderful, wonderful movie. 'Been waiting for someone to get brave and be the first to watch this.
Good on you!
Dustin Hoffman is one of my favorite actors, my favorite of him is Tootsie, very funny and great music in it, and shows how great he is. And for Tom Cruise, check out All the Right Moves, with Lea Thompson his HS girlfriend, the mother in Back to the Future. Great movie.
This was back in the day when a lot of people had never heard of autism.
Such an iconic film! Loved your sincere and wonderful reaction!
Thank you 🥰
@@EveReacts You're most welcome! I eagerly look forward to seeing your next movie reaction! 😊
Forgot how beautiful this movie is.
Hey Eve. You're meant to hate Tom Cruise (Charlie) at the start of the movie so when he goes through his character arc and learns to take off his brother you feel the weight of the story.
Especially when Charlie finds out that Raymond is actually The Rain Man is the imaginary character from his childhood.
Such a heartfelt moment, it breaks my heart every time I see it.
I cry every time when I watch the scene Raymond/ Rain man and then even bigger crying occurs when Raymond freaks out because of hot water- Every freaking time.
What a wonderful and warm reaction to such a wonderful movie. Great acting from both Tom and Dustin. I hope to see more reactions from you.
The Rain Man/Raymond revelation always hits me hard too! I think it’s just realizing how confused and hurt they both must have been without each other, and no way to express it, Raymond because of his autism & Charlie because he was so young. And knowing that they still remembered each other in some way and still had a deep love for each other.
My nephew is just like Raymond’s autism. He never could learn to read. Tutor after tutor. School after school. Nothing. Finally, he learned. How? Watching movies. He loves movies and he learned by reading the subtitles. Amazing.
I saw this movie as a young kid. It really impacted me and still does to this day. I remember watching the Oscars when Dustin won best actor and it won best picture. Phenomenal film.
Its heartwarming to watch someone like you so in touch with your humanity/ feelings. Gives me hope in mankind.
Dustin Hoffman won the Oscar for Best Actor for this, and received a very long standing ovation at the ceremony.
Rain man was based off of a real man named Kim Peek, would recommend checking out the documentary on him on CZcams, sadly he passed in the last few years.
Man, Dustin Hoffman studied HARD for this role. He got everything right about Autism, but didn't limit it to a single set of traits, because his character basically covered everything. The headbanging, the special interests, the monotone voice, the vast knowledge of niche and random things a neurotypical generally wouldn't care for for the most part, the creative mind of a person with Autism, the ultra-sensitivity to loud noises and even the routines...he just absolutely nailed it.
One of the best movies i've seen.
Holy shit! Someone doing a reaction to Rain Man! I love this film. One of my all time favourite Tom Cruise performances.
1988 was a stunning year for film - _Rain Man_ , _Die Hard_ , _The Naked Gun_ and _A Fish Called Wanda_ - you should watch all of those. Their scripts are all rock solid, film class proof stuff.
Tom Cruise: Top Gun 86, Rain Man 88, Days of Thunder 90, Far and Away 92. I just listed some random ones off the top of my head funnily enough they were in order. Oh yeah on IMDB checking what I missed in between and noticing A Few Good Men 92 that should be on the end of my list. But that is Jack's famous, "You can't handle the truth!" I'd say watch Far and Away as I love that one.
@@jayeisenhardt1337
If we’re talking amazing Tom Cruise performances none of those would be on my list. After _Rain Man_ I would plump for : _Born on the Fourth of July_ , _Magnolia_ , _Collateral_ and _The Last Samurai_ .
@@PurushaDesa
If you like "Magnolia",
you'll LOVE Robert Altman's
1993 film "Short Cuts",
which PTA credits with inspiring him.
Some of the same actors, even
(though not Cruise).
@@laustcawz2089
Thanks. I’ve watched very few Altman films actually. I’ve seen _Gosford Park_ but remember almost nothing about it other than the angelic Kelly Macdonald. And I’ve also seen _The Long Goodbye_ which I found slightly inscrutable because it was a neo-noir update of a detective I’d seen very little of in the first place.
This channel is off to strong start. Love the content.
Hey Eve, this was one of the first big-budget movies to cover and explain in depth the condition of Autism.
After this movie parents who didn't understand their children's disability finally had an answer to their dilemma.
They could reach out to the correct professionals to get them help.
What an amazing and groundbreaking story that the Rain Man covers.
Finally, someone is reacting to Rainman! :D
Raymond's character is based off from Kim Peek who is a real-life savant. When he reads a book, his left eye reads the left page and his right eye reads the right at the same time. So he can ready books ridiculously fast and has in fact read a huge library room full of books and remembers just about everything word for word from them.
I’ve lived with autism my whole life, I am nearing my 30th birthday in February, I’m an actor and I’ve got an amazing family. I love the movie Rain Man and I loved this reaction. Such an amazing film and story. Great reaction too.
EVe. Stop crying. You're making me cry, girl. Scenes in the movie I never cried to before now. I welling up with tears. DON"T DO THAT TO ME GIRL.
Such a great reaction. You've got a new Sub for life.
The white-haired doctor near the end of the movie is its director, Barry Levinson.
@17:59 Tom Cruise: "Did you fart, Raymond?"
@18:04 Eve: "Their performances! I'm honestly just blown away"
Hahaha 😅
Great reaction. I haven't seen many people react to this one. One of my all time favs.
I made up a comedy routine at the time in which Raymond worked at Burger King. The punchline was "Uh-oh, fifteen minutes to Whoppers. Uh-oh."
I'm happy to see that you reacted at the moments of the film that really are the most emotionally impactful. Films like this which are heavily reliant on the story, the acting, direction, and music to bring the impact of the story are a rare breed in a world where we have super hero movies dominating the stories being told today. I also feel like the pacing in this film is something that isn't prevalent today either, it's all fast pace editing and cool visuals. Hans Zimmer's score is also gorgeous and definitely tugs on the heart strings for sure. Apparently when Dustin Hoffman rests his head on Tom Cruise's forehead, that was improvised. I also think that Tom Cruise was robbed of an Oscar win for this performance because he really showed his acting chops in this movie. He wasn't even nominated!
Thank you 🥰
I want to mention that her full reaction to this is on her patreon, and that is really awesome to watch! I recommend her patreon to anyone who isn't already signed up.
"so much for the Nasa idea" had me in stitches even though i know its ot funny but fist time i saw this it tickeled me
When we got the autism diagnosis for our son, my thoughts came straight to this movie. I cried and cried. My son is about to be 7 and doing great. 💙
So glad he’s doing great 💙
Thank you for watching and for your comment
My son has Fragile X Syndrome which has many similarities to Autism. He's now 38, living at home and things are good. He will live with us for as long as we can take care of him.
@@danielfortier2629💙
Magnolia (1999) is another great movie with an ensemble cast of Tom Cruise, Philip Seymour Hoffman, William H. Macy,... :)
Brand new subscriber. Truly enjoyed your reaction to this, one of my favorite films. It’s one of those where you can’t hold back the tears at times. Or the laughter. I love that you know when to insert comments, and when to just observe. And that your comments are interesting. You have a wonderful, charming screen presence as well. Coming from here in the US, I wish you, and all our Australian brothers and sisters the very best.
Great reaction. This movie is a true classic. Dustin Hoffman performance was amazing,, he won an Oscar for best actor.
Keep up the great reactions. Hope to see you react to more movies and shows. 😄
Great reaction!
If I could recommend…” Mr. Holland’s Opus” starring Richard Dreyfus is a GREAT movie that nobody ( that I know of) has reacted to.
Love you 💕
Thanks Ralph 😃🥰
IT WON THE ACADEMY AWARD FOR BEST PICTURE OF 88 EVE, NO SURPRISE HUH GIRL? :) TEAR JERKER AT PARTS, RAYMOND IS AUTISTIC SO, GREAT MOVIE TOP NOTCH :) GOOD JOB
22:34: Yeah, The Hangover was pretty much referencing this film.
You are such a a compassionate person! Rain Man is one of my favorite movies. I've laughed and cried through it so many times but I've never seen someone else do it. When Charlie finds out that Raymond is "Rain Man" and you lost it 19:00 I lost it too! I couldn't stop crying.
I believe it is one of those movies where every time you see it, you see something new and watching your reaction was special. Thank you
I remember watching this as a kid (maybe 12yo?) with my mum and stepdad and just thinking Dustin Hoffman was absolutely incredible. I have watched this movie MANY times since, and Dustin never fails to blow me away. One the most incredible performances ever put on film IMHO.
I love this movie so much. Dustin Hoffman absolutely nailed this role. A well deserved Oscar.
Random, but you have really beautiful teeth haha
This movie is so perfect, because it describes the difference between narcissism (Charlie) and Autism (Raymond) so well. I wish more people would watch this masterpiece to understand that those two things are not the same, and it would also teach them to be kinder and more understanding to their fellow man. :)
My parents took me to see Rain Man in a theatre when it came out; I was 7. The "hot water burn baby" scene made a big impact on me then, even though I didn't understand it. I still can't see it without remembering when I was 7, which adds another, personal layer to the emotional impact.
One of my fave films of all time. Beautifully realized from direction to the amazing acting - yes Hoffman justifiably got a Best Actor Oscar (Cruise wasn't even nominated!) Barry Morrow - who wrote the screenplay w/Ron Bass - also wrote a TV film BILL with Mickey Rooney as a mentally challenged elderly man who was institutionalized nearly his whole life and is worht seeking.
I loved your DPS video so much I thought I'd check out some other videos of yours. This is another one of my favorites. Dustin Hoffman is just absolutely incredible in this movie. And the end gets me every time. I can't help it. It hits ya right in the feels. Another great reaction video. I'm subscribed. :)
Great Reaction !!!, Hopefully this will start a trend for the other Reactors on CZcams to follow and react to this classic movie.
And Hans Zimmer in the music, in his first work in Hollywood, and the film that made his music known and for which he was later summoned by many directors in Hollywood.
Enjoyed your reaction! Dustin Hoffman won an Oscar for this part. The movie also won for best direction and best movie.
Wow nobody react to this great movie Bravo :) . You should see other great Hoffman movies like Marathon Man 1976 and Hero 1992 . Outbreak , Lenny , The Grudate. Tom Cruze need no introduction he has many great movies like A Few Good Man, Vanoila Sky, Cocktail, The Firm, Jack Reacher, Edge of Tommrow
Thanks for this beautiful rare reaction to this movie. This has been a favorite for me since I am 8-9 years old. Of course, at the time I didn't get all the emotional bits but it still captivated me for some reason. Then, when I grew up it only got better. I loved how you've reacted to the Raymond = Rain Man reveal scene. You crying almost made me crying in such short piece you could include. Please keep classic movies that are similarly rarely reacted in your reaction schedule now and then between the popular ones.
Some rarely reacted must-watch movie suggestions if you haven't seen:
- Awakenings (Drama which has somewhat similar vibes to this) (with R. De Niro and Robin Williams)
- Vertigo (Hitchcock thriller) (with James Stewart and Kim Novak)
- David Lynch movies like Lost Highway, Mulholland Dr. (if you're into weird, complicated, a little disturbing and mysterious stuff)
- Chinatown (neo-noir with a cleverly scripted detective story) (with J. Nicholson)
- Taxi Driver (Scorcese classic crime drama/thriller) (with De Niro and a very young Jodi Foster)
- The Full Monty (classic British comedy with real heart in it)
- Being John Malkovich (weird comedy/drama with John Cusack, Cameron Diaz and surely John Malkovich)
- Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (a late Sidney Lumet crime/drama with great script) (with P.S.Hoffman and E.Hawke)
- Room (one of the best psychological dramas of 2010s with Brie Larson)
- Million Dollar Baby (perfectly crafted C.Eastwood sports drama with himself, H.Swank and M.Freeman)
- A Perfect World (another perfectly crafted C.Eastwood crime drama with himself, C.Eastwood and Laura Dern)
- Contact (an underrated sci-fi classic with Jodie Foster,
M.McConaughey)
- The Game (David Fincher mystery/thriller with M.Douglas, D.K.Unger and S.Penn)
I’m glad you enjoyed it, excited to watch some more movies.
Wow awesome list of movies here, thanks so much for sharing!
I also love this list because I haven’t seen most of these movies, so thank you!!
Awakenings, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Born on the Fourth of July.
Great reaction...when I saw this in the theater I was 18 yrs old....first time a movie had moved me to tears. Looking forward to more of your reactions and subbing.
Thanks so much for the sub!!
hey Eve. Rainman (1988) was nominated for 8 academy awards in 1989. It took home 4 of them.
Best Picture, BEst Actor (Dustin Hoffman), BEst Director - BArrry Levinson, and Best Original Screenplay.
The movie was mind-blowing and the toast of the town.
That’s pretty funny she actually knew the airline since she’s from Australia. I had never heard of it. I’m surprised there even is an airline that hasn’t had a crash.
Awe thank you for your reaction I’d forgotten about this movie somehow. What performances.
You’re welcome! 😃
If you want more Cruise and Hoffman...
Cruise: Valkyrie, Risky Business, Born on The Forth of July
Hoffman: Midnight Cowboy, All The President's Men, Tootsie, The Graduate, Marathon Man, Papillon, Little Big Man, Wag The Dog.
Awesome, thank you!
Cruise: Magnolia (and as an added bonus an amazing cast of others like William H. Macy, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, John C. Reilly etc... omg the scenes with John C. Reilly & Melora Walters interacting - SO good)
@@ericschmidt5510 thank you!! Magnolia has been recommended a few times now so I feel like it’s a must 🙌🏽
an Aussie reviewer we love
Just watched this on 11/30/23. Your reaction was just like mine when I first saw it. Just beautiful. I can't wait to check out your archives now. SUBSCRIBED!!!!
The "Who's on First" routine that Ray keeps reciting, is a famous 50's comedy sketch from Abbott and Costello. You can find it on YT.
I love that bit. Funny guys.
Earlier than the 50's ;-)

Great movie choice, great reaction. You're fun to watch. If you keep reacting to great movies, I'll keep coming back.
Thank you Brandon ☺️
I just had to subscribe to you just because I have not seen anyone reacted to one of my favorite movies Rain Man! Thank you!
Thank you 🙏🏽
Dustin Hoffman could write the book on Master-Class Acting :) Great Reaction to a good movie!
Wonderful, heartfelt and touching reaction to this unforgettable film! Thanks for sharing.
finally someone takes the time to watch this movie..ive been looking....such a great movie.
It’s not illegal to count cards using your mind only (if you use another person or other external device, that is indeed illegal), but the casino will “blacklist” someone they think has that mental ability and they share that info with other casinos.
Uh oh! ...definitely, definitely gonna watch this reaction, definitely! Uh oh!!!
This video is so awesome! I saw this movie years ago and it is so moving at times. New subscriber here. Have a wonderful day. 🤠👍
Thanks for the sub! Appreciate you watching ☺️☺️
I don't usually comment much, but I'm so happy to see someone reacting to this movie! I want to help the algo pick up on this fact and point other reactors to this film so I decided to comment for that purpose.
You made me cry, damnit.
Sorry for making you cry 😢 thank you for watching 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Fantastic movie, Cruise was superb in that you could see the full journey he went on, lot of truth in it
If you want another one that yanks tears out of you (for me anyway- and it is one of my favorites), "Playing By Heart" is a not so well known flick that has an amazing cast.
Another great Dustin Hoffman movie, but without the tears, "Tootsie"
Hoffman won the Oscar
Rain Man was such a good movie, both dustin hoffman and tom cruise were great, especially dustin hoffman, this was his best movie :)
The doctor in the glasses towards the end is the films director Barry Levinson.
Dustin and Tom were both nominated for an Oscar…Dustin won best actor
It's been a long time since I've seen this, can't wait to see someone else's impression 👍 Yeah, Tom Cruise is crazy but he's a great actor
This film is absolutely amazing. 1 of my favourite ever!
My son is a severely affected Fragile X Syndrome man. Fragile X has MANY similarities with Autism, so I can totally relate to Raymond. I remember when this movie came out, sitting in the theatre and the audience laughing at the things Raymond did that my son did too, it REALLY hurt! I felt like they were laughing at my son, something no one has ever did in real life.
I love this movie because so many things Raymond does or says that my son does and says too; the shoe placement, the table in front of the TV, etc. Unfortunately my son's development is much more limited than the way Raymond is portrayed.
My son is now 38 years old, still living at home and he is a very happy person. Everyone loves him. If it wouldn't be for his fits that come when we least expect them, life would be great with him!
What saddens me about watching this movie today is I too have another son who refuses to communicate with me. It's been 14 so far! Sad!!!
Thank you for sharing ❤️
My son is autistic and he presses his head against mine to show affection….Every time I see “Raymond” do that to “Charlie” it makes me cry…
One of the greatest movies ever made.
Eve when you Cried i Cried i loved your reaction i will check out more of your videos ♥
I can sum up your reaction...
*Anger, Sad Arrow, Crying, Smile, Laughter, Crying*
Commentary
Thanx for sharing
That pretty much sums it up!! Thanks for watching
Really distinctive and discerning picks for your first few movies. Most people go for the big popular blockbusters to bring in eyeballs and grow the channel fast, hoping a core audience will emerge. Your way builds a sympathetic audience from the ground up, choosing movies that might seem esoteric to some, but interest you for whatever reason.
I love films with content, so if that's where you're headed, I'm with you. I keep trying to get people interested in, The Fisher King, but I can't get takers anywhere in reactionland. I can at least stick to my guns and boost it here, too, though. Regardless, I'm interested to see where you take things, whatever you choose.
Thank you for your recommendation! I’m really enjoying selecting movies to react to that people in the comments have recommended because I want to be able to share in that experience! Appreciate you watching along ☺️☺️
Really enjoyed the ride, thanks Eve :). This film won 4 Oscars btw... best film, best main actor, best script, best director...
In case ur interested in an even younger Tom Cruise get "Taps" from 1981. It might have been his 1st film, i believe. Or "The Graduate" of a very young Dustin Hoffman from 1967, if it interests u.
U'd love "Mask" w/ Cher, Sam Elliot, & Eric Stoltz-DEEP true story CLASSIC! Only seen 1 other reaction 4. And of course, if haven't seen "Forrest Gump", it gets 1,000's of views, & 1 of GOAT! This was a great choice & 1st reaction I've seen. Dustin Hoffman, Bill Murray "Tootsie" was HUGE n 80's, & Cruise's 1st, "Risky Business" was just as big, & BOTH must sees!!!! ✌ ❤ 🚬
Mask is also a great movie.
Legend! Thanks for the recommendations ❤️🥰
