Every time Fraser said "I'm sorry" it cut me a little more than before. The feeling of being a complete burden on those in your life was very well portrayed.
@@ShinbrigTV Doom patrol is amazing! it gave a 2nd chance to some actors and a 1st chance to others! It’s amazing that happened in a show about people who don’t fit in, looking for meaning, and a a chance to be normal
As a formerly obese person, it feels so good to have a movie with a serious, sympathetic look at what it’s like to be obese instead of just treating it like the butt of the joke. It’s a serious problem that a lot of people misunderstand and it deserves to be recognized in this light.
@@turmericyellow I think it’s dumb, I don’t really care. Performance should matter most. It would’ve probably been really hard to find an actor that size that could pull off as good of a performance as Brendan Fraser.
I think the way it portrays the type of pain that can lead to someone hating themselves so much and letting themselves go just makes you more sympathetic.
@@1dingerr I didn't really develop that sentiment, I felt great pity for Charlie but little, if any, empathy. Especially because he had abandoned his wife and young daughter for his romantic pursuit and seemed tocare more about the death of that pursuit than his kid until he felt he had nothing to lose.
I really don’t care much about the Oscars or the cache they bring. Brendan deserves one for this film. It’s not a stunt role, or an “oh look, he’s so brave for having a fat suit.” This is one of the best portrayals of a broken man I’ve ever seen, it transcends whatever baggage it may bring.
Less than a second. That's all it took. Less than a second into that little clip and I was already tearing up. His voice has so much pain in it. He did an amazing job.
I cried like a person cries when they loose a loved one. I wept. I was hyperventilating. Omg it just killed me. Being overweight and a father it really came home to me. Im not morbidly obese like his character but I have relatives and friends that are and most people have no idea the sort of misery and pain they suffer all their lives.
As the meaning is essentially a parallel to addiction in general, watching it twice killed me so much more, I would go as far as to say live changing as I've been stopping drinking as much ever since
@@Bloo_Bear I'm not familiar with that character but I would say that Brendan Fraser's action hero days are behind him. He would probably say the same thing too.
The actors, Brendan in particular, literally carry the whole movie. Between this and Doom Patrol (as well as a handfull of smaller roles since like 2013) his career is genuenly making a comeback and I couldn't be happier for it.
Spoilers...Dang, I connected to this movie so hard. I literally wept in theaters. This father daughter relationship hit me. My dad and my relationship went through something similar but different, but having that moment of pure pride directed right at the camera for his daughter just pulled on similar memories with my own father and I just lost it. I know there are people that this movie isn't speaking to, but I think it was moving and I think you leave it with a great message. Even though you can't save anyone especially not from themselves you can care and show up for them. Just a sensational movie!

We’re all rightfully talking about Brendan Fraser, but let’s not forget about Sadie Sink. She was one of the highlights in Stranger Things Season 4 and now she’s starting to work on films like this. This kid is talented and I hope she continues to build a successful career like her fellow cast members.
For someone who has been sitting on his ass, eating a gallon of ice cream a day and fried chicken most days for the last 4 years, this was the movie I needed to see. It was a mirror that I needed to see. It's an uncomfortable movie. It's a tough watch, but the acting (Viva La Brendan) is out of control good every second. It's not a great movie, but it's very powerful.
Depression will do that to a person man. I've overeaten from it as well, and have gone days without showering, or getting out of bed much. 🥺 So I understand. It's tough. Hang in there.
@@KabbalahSherry Thanks Sherry! I hope you're okay! Let's use this movie as a way to change, yeah? Let's fucking try. That was the point of the whole movie.
Something that brought tears to my eyes about Brendan Fraser IRL, is that he isn't a sellout. When asked if he would come to accept his award if he won the Golden globe for best actor, in spite of being molested by one of it's alums, he replied " No. My mother didn't raise a hypocrite" I mean how many actors kissed Harvey Weinstein's ass for decades in spite of what he did to them, simply because he was a big wig in Hollywood? Brendan is one hell of a class act.
It was fantastic! I've never seen a movie theater so quiet and filled with emotion when the movie was over. No one moved for a good five minutes. Not a dry eye in the house either. Brendan's performance was remarkable and moving. I really hope he gets his Oscar for it. After everything he's done and the momentum he's earning now for his career, he deserves it!
It's strange but great to see Brendan Fraser go from leading man heart throb action man, to this aging veteran actor doing more artistic films. Just a cool career, always loved the dude.
@5:54 great to hear that Hong Chau put on an Oscar worthy performance. I’m excited to see that she’s in this movie. Also can’t wait to see her in Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City.
Brendan Fraser gave an extraordinarily brilliant portrayal of a man coming to terms with what he considers to be his biggest challenge, biggest mistake & biggest heartbreak of his life. Definitely worth every minute of viewing. Fraser nailed it. The cinematography nailed it. The make-up artists nailed it. Talk about tearing at the heartstrings.
I am almost 30 Brandon Fraser is a childhood hero/ idol for my generation So many iconic films during the 90’s early 00’s Glad to see him having a comeback, he seams a genuine good person he deserves it
The beautiful thing is Brendan Fraser is one of those rare celebrity cases where no matter how hard you look, no one has anything bad to say about him. The reports from working with him are along the lines of “he’s so caring, he’s the nicest guy, he’s so easy to work with, he gives a shit about the cast as well as the role”. So he’s just genuinely a good person, from the sounds of it. It makes the hardships he’s recently been through much more gut wrenching to hear about since they happened to someone so undeserving of them. But it also makes his return to the big screen an absolute treasure and a spectacle. I’m not normally a fan of these types of movies, but I have to see this because of Brendan’s performance, and now Jeremy’s review 🤘🖤
@@Infamous1892 I wouldn't say that he's a clinical reviewer who try to quantify it as if his reviews are objective facts so I would say he actually is biased. The important thing is, he's biased in an open way rather than certain critics that pretend as if they don't bring their tastes into a review. It's why he is one of a select few CZcamsrs who even though I don't watch every video. I have kept coming back to him for over 13 years and will continue doing so until the day I die, or if by some slim chance he quits before I die. He's my generations Roger Ebert, we don't have the exact same taste and views on things. But that's a good thing, don't have an example of the top of my head but sometimes he's given something a bad review and I knew that meant that I would like it, and vice versa. The way I see it, the best reviewers you feel like you can trust you should agree with them 70% of the time maybe a little less. Enough to where you can go watch something on their recommendation alone, yet still have room for healthy disagreements based on personal differences.
I saw The Fountain when it first came out and thought it was a bit bloated and maybe too ambitious. I'd be willing to watch it again though just to see what time and distance will do to my opinion of it.
Watched your review before I went to the theater tonight. Oh my gosh. This movie was absolutely incredible. I'm also a huge Aronofsky fan, so I am sure I am a bit biased. However, from about 10-15 min in I was already getting emotional. About 30 min I was crying. From then onwards, I was crying on and off the whole movie. What an emotional experience! Aronofsky really knows how to get amazing performances out of actors. I think this may have actually squeezed it's way into my Top 5 films of the year; I need to sit on it a bit more though.
Black Swan is my go-to Aronofsky film. It resonates the most with me and I LOOOVE peeling those same layers, Jeremy. I can't wait to see this one soon.
Watched this the other day. Didn’t know much going In and was blown away. It’s been years since a movie brought me to tears and this one had me crying like a baby. Excellent performances all around, especially from Frazier.
This movie hit home for me because I can relate through my family. I’m a pretty cold person, and for me to cry during a movie is rare. Great job! Great performance!!!
I saw “The Whale” last night and was blown away. What performances! If Brendan Fraser doesn’t win an Oscar for this role, I’d be genuinely surprised. All of the supporting actors were stellar … even Dan, the pizza delivery guy, was nuanced. Let it be known that Brendan Fraser is the one to beat in this year’s Oscar race.
Thanks for the review. Looking forward to seeing the film. My favorite *Darren Aronofsky* film has to be *_The Fountain_* (2006). My fiancé had passed away 18 months prior to its release. That film _still_ hits me where I live. 🙇🏼♂️
Oh wow. 🥺 Yeah, that would definitely do it. I'm sorry for your loss. Seeing a film like that after a loss so hard, would be a struggle indeed. But what a movie it was. I hope that it helped to give you a sense of wonder & also closure, knowing that we all live again, and never really truly go anywhere... 😌🙏🏼 Peace to you.
I felt so touched by this movie, I am in that point of life where I just wanna die and end it all, I just wanna know that I did something right in life, thats why I am pushing forward, I want to see my friends succeed, I am transforming my home into a hostel to give my best friend a solid job that doesnt fire him randomly, and I just want to give my all to them because I dont matter anymore... This movie broke me so badly, this is just purest cinema and I am glad I got to see it..
I'm so sorry you feel so much pain. You do matter and you are loved ❤ From personal experience, I know I can be my own worst critic and judge because I literally live with myself all the time and I make mistakes, have regrets, and blame myself for other people's own issues... I'm learning to have compassion for others, but also just as important, for myself. We are human, we have the potential to do great things, but also make great mistakes...that's why I think its important to have love, compassion, forgiveness for ourselves just as much as we have it for others. Take care of yourself man
Just to let you know: don’t ever give up. If you are a human being you have a chance coming up to help someone else in a way that will lift you out of a dark place. AND aha! Moments that will lift you up. When you have dark thoughts that’s when you need to say, Out loud: NO! I will never let go of my precious life. I love myself unconditionally and will never harm myself knowingly. Life is mysterious and miracles happen every second. Say “Send me a miracle!” Out loud and keep saying it and miracles wil appear to save your life. Sometimes from the least expected situation. Those dark thoughts are not the “real” you. They are just thoughts probably put there by someone you told you you were not worth it. Don’t ever let the bastids get ya down!
@@cutzymccall7675 Thank you, but mentally I am already out... I already experience alcoholism, weed, cigarretes, a bunch of extra things, lost mom and dad, like I already lived my life, I just wanna get money so I can make sure my friend has a great future, because I know as soon as the hostel is kicking off, my body is gonna betray me... Its just the way that its gonna be, whenever you are at your highest, its the point where you are gonna fall..
My daughter and I went to see it, and it’s one of the only films I’ve seen where at the end when the credits roll, the audience pauses and has to collect themselves before leaving. Tears in everyone’s eyes. I agree though you will either find it remarkable and poignant, or terrible.
I truly enjoyed this movie and feel that an overall theme is honesty. I think that if the viewer is open to it, everyone who leaves that theater can walk away with something they related to in this film. I totally agree that is has many layers to it and is worth multiple watches.
Dealing with addiction in those around me throughout my life this is one of the most honest and grounded depictions of it i have ever seen, every character shocked me with their depth and humanity, no one was one thing, they all had their flaws. His ex wife was dramatically built up to be this irrseponsible alchoholic and her actual characterization in her main scene was that but it was also tender, loving, caring, and sentimantal. This movie is truly somthing special
Really excited for this one. I love Darren Aronofsky and my favorite film by him has always been The Fountain. It's also my absolute favorite soundtrack.
It was incredible. It’s a movie that hits you in 20 different ways. Makes you want to go home and hug a loved one. But like DA movies. It’s a movie you’re not gonna wanna watch over and over, you experience it. Then it sits with you.
Just got out of seeing it and i think that what's sticking with me is Hong Chau's character and her devastation at how Charlie let himself go after her brother's suicide because she knows it's that he blames himself for not loving him hard enough as he says later in the movie, which is just devastating. The family dynamics is what made this really a stand out for me., the one scene between him and the mom where she listens to his heart and he reminisces and there's that build up is just brilliantly set up.
The best scene for me was (SPOILERS AHEAD) the conversation he had with his wife about their troublesome parenting. It really puts their parental roles in perspective. The mother is clearly the angry parent and Charlie is the softer one who should have been there to cheer the kid up after the lecturing and tough love from her mom. Even by the end of the movie I wasn’t convinced that his daughter really cares about people, but no parent wants to believe that.
I’m expecting this to be dark. This is coming from the same filmmaker who made Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan and “Mother!”…at least Brendan Fraser’s been making a comeback with this and Doom Patrol.
Started watching Jeremy when I was 11 I’m 22 now I can’t imagine my movie experience without him and I hope he knows how much of celebrated and loved person he is in this era where you tubers mean more to us than any celebrity ever could, dark knight rises and him are synonymous in my head for some reason regardless thank you man !! Also from uk that paddy sentence caught of guard cool to know you follow the UFC 😂
Austin Butler will get the Oscar nomination, but the Oscar win will certainly go to Brendan Fraser and it's a lock for him. Also, Colin Farrell will also get an Oscar nomination for his terrific performance in The Banshees of Inisherin.
1:20 I have zero context for this clip from the film and I still feel like someone reached right inside my chest and tore my heart out. That's powerful.
And this is why i watch Jeremys reviews before i go see any movie, all are reviewed from the heart. He truly has a talent for picking great entertainment
I absolutely loved this movie and the entire cast, though Brendan Fraser showed us a side of his acting we had never seen before. So glad he is back and I hope we get more performances like this!
The trailer brings me to tears. I imagine I would cry for most of the film. I can’t wait to see it, I love Frasier. I want to support him. And I think this film has a great message.
I don't usually get very emotional while watching films but I legit cried /weeped at least 3 times during The Whale. I was a mess by the end. Truly an amazing performance by Fraser!
Jeremy I’m a huge fan since day 1 and i just wanted to say you are my favorite person on CZcams and even though these years have been rough I think you’re positivity has helped me and a lot of people hold on you’re awesome man i can’t wait to see what you do next year merry Christmas 🎄
Darren Aronofsky is one of those directors that I will support no matter what the project is about, because I believe in his work so much. Hell, even with the movie "Noah" pulled a stellar performance out of Russel Crowe in that movie. It was incredible, and it's honestly an underrated gem. 😏💎 Doesn't get enough credit. Never seen a biblical movie like that. "Mother!" was hella good too, and for the same reasons. Dude is just a directing genius tbh. Edit: I encourage ALL of you to watch "The Fountain" if you haven't already. It's AMAZING movie. 🤩🏆🎬
I was gonna tell my friends my thoughts on this movie. But I’ll just send em this. Saves me time while still perfectly capturing how I felt. Great review!
I really love your reviews. Admittedly, I only watch them after I've watched the movies, but you add so much insight. I didn't realize who the director was, and the works under his belt. Oddly, though, I came away from this one thinking about Requiem for a Dream. It was that powerful. This movie is incredible. I love the honesty of the entire thing. It has been a long time since I cried like that.
There's a clinical psychiatric term for that- Flying Monkeys. Congratulations, you just got your wings from Malignant Covert Narcissist Brendan Fraser.
My favorite movie of 2022 to date, and I would be stunned if anything I see this weekend or next week tops this. I knew it would make me a emotional wreck. But I sure did not expect this to cover so many real life problems and hit home for me like this.
This movie was heartbreaking even though at the same time beautiful as far as the message over all. Even if you don’t relate to Charlie’s condition, his depression and the losses he’s faced in his life I totally related too and it emotionally recked me to see it played out. But that also makes it that much more significant because I feel like most people would be identify with at least one of the characters and the issues they deal with.
I grew up concerning all my friends with how much I enjoyed Requiem. There is something about a truly tragic story that just hits differently than any other type of film. Years later, I finally sat down and watched The Wrestler and my god - that movie is now by far and away my favorite Aronofsky film (which is hard, because they're all fantastic). The idea of being a screwup, knowing you're a screwup, trying your best to change, and - well, screwing it up, just hits some deep part of being human. Super excited for The Whale, although I'll have to be in the right mindset to leap in.
Great review Jeremy and I agree with you about this being a very intimate film! Just wanted to mention that you’re one of my main inspirations for starting my channel. I have a long way to go but appreciate all your consistency over the years! Hope you have a great Christmas and Holiday! 🙏🏼🐐
I'm pretty excited about this one. I've had a blast watching Brendan Fraser in Doom Patrol and really want him to knock it out of the park with this performance.
Favorite Aronofsky: The Fountain I'm not trying to be edgy when i say this. I genuinely mean it. Love the concept, the execution, and the performances. It is the best film score i think I've ever heard start to finish. I really enjoy and mostly love every Aronofsky film. Always want Clint Mansell to score, so that might be ny only down note. Very excited to see The Whale!
Saw the movie and had to look for your review! This movie was very dark but intimate. So happy Brendan is getting the recognition he deserves. I was in tears at the end.
I loves Brendan since Encino Man and have been a fan of his ever since…he can make me laugh and cry with his movies. Outside of his more comedy based films..School Ties was the first time I got to see the other serious side of Brendan’s performance…I love that movie so much and other one that was just amazing was Gods & Monsters…so damn good! I didn’t see this as yet but I know he put his all into this movie. I’m so glad he’s back doing what he loves.. it’s good to have him back
That line Brendan makes when you talk about Oscar win. I saw it in a trailer and I cried When I saw it again in the movie, I cried even harder. Holy bejesus. That line was delivered amazingly!
I’m madly in love with The Fountain. It’s definitely not one of the most popular, but i love everything about it. Story, music, colours, iconography, concept. A true masterpiece for me. I also like the others.

Yeah I feel like Fraser always shine in subtler films like Encino Man and especially The Quiet American.
Waste of money! Bring a pillow so you’ll be comfortable when you fall asleep!
@papatonyward2615 no you were just expecting a different movie the movie is great it just wasn't for u
It's strange but great to see Brendan Fraser go from leading man heart throb action man, to this aging veteran actor doing more artistic films. Just a cool career, always loved the dude.
@5:54 great to hear that Hong Chau put on an Oscar worthy performance. I’m excited to see that she’s in this movie. Also can’t wait to see her in Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City.
Brendan Fraser gave an extraordinarily brilliant portrayal of a man coming to terms with what he considers to be his biggest challenge, biggest mistake & biggest heartbreak of his life. Definitely worth every minute of viewing. Fraser nailed it. The cinematography nailed it. The make-up artists nailed it. Talk about tearing at the heartstrings.
Requiem for a Dream is by far my favorite movie. The soundtrack accompanying the movie is just breathtaking & the tense build ups are soo satisfying!
I am almost 30
Brandon Fraser is a childhood hero/ idol for my generation
So many iconic films during the 90’s early 00’s
Glad to see him having a comeback, he seams a genuine good person he deserves it
The beautiful thing is Brendan Fraser is one of those rare celebrity cases where no matter how hard you look, no one has anything bad to say about him. The reports from working with him are along the lines of “he’s so caring, he’s the nicest guy, he’s so easy to work with, he gives a shit about the cast as well as the role”. So he’s just genuinely a good person, from the sounds of it. It makes the hardships he’s recently been through much more gut wrenching to hear about since they happened to someone so undeserving of them. But it also makes his return to the big screen an absolute treasure and a spectacle. I’m not normally a fan of these types of movies, but I have to see this because of Brendan’s performance, and now Jeremy’s review 🤘🖤
The Wrestler gave us a powerhouse performance and Black Swan was intense and gave Natalie her Oscar. The Whale looks like one of those kind of films.
A great comeback performance by Mickey Rourke
I cried so loudly someone shushed me
Very annoying dont do that
I had to like both comments 😂😂😂
@@Rob21ization fr
I consider Aronosky one of the most creative film makers of all time. Requim, Swan, and Wrestler are truly masterful.
good to see you reaching close to two million subscribers...been watching you for a long time. its well deserved
I wonder if Universal is gonna greenlit THE MUMMY 4 just to captalize on Brendan Fraser's comeback
This is the guy I'd take stock tips from.
@@15thobserver Same, lol.
Probably
I so it with Aztec mummies.
Only if Rachel Weisz will be there too. Mummy 3 was just meh.
I trust Jeremy’s judgment with movies and he’s never let me down. I’m happy to see he enjoyed the movie and Brendan did his thing 🥹
Yea he's very non bias in his reviews.
@@Infamous1892 I wouldn't say that he's a clinical reviewer who try to quantify it as if his reviews are objective facts so I would say he actually is biased. The important thing is, he's biased in an open way rather than certain critics that pretend as if they don't bring their tastes into a review. It's why he is one of a select few CZcamsrs who even though I don't watch every video. I have kept coming back to him for over 13 years and will continue doing so until the day I die, or if by some slim chance he quits before I die. He's my generations Roger Ebert, we don't have the exact same taste and views on things. But that's a good thing, don't have an example of the top of my head but sometimes he's given something a bad review and I knew that meant that I would like it, and vice versa. The way I see it, the best reviewers you feel like you can trust you should agree with them 70% of the time maybe a little less. Enough to where you can go watch something on their recommendation alone, yet still have room for healthy disagreements based on personal differences.

The Fountain isn't just my favourite Darren Aronofsky film, it's one of my all time favourite movies ever🤯
A truly beautiful masterpiece
Me too omg
Requiem was 10 times better
I saw The Fountain when it first came out and thought it was a bit bloated and maybe too ambitious. I'd be willing to watch it again though just to see what time and distance will do to my opinion of it.
My god, words cannot describe how happy I am to see Brenden Fraser back! I REALLY hope this is his major comeback!
Watched your review before I went to the theater tonight. Oh my gosh. This movie was absolutely incredible. I'm also a huge Aronofsky fan, so I am sure I am a bit biased. However, from about 10-15 min in I was already getting emotional. About 30 min I was crying. From then onwards, I was crying on and off the whole movie. What an emotional experience! Aronofsky really knows how to get amazing performances out of actors. I think this may have actually squeezed it's way into my Top 5 films of the year; I need to sit on it a bit more though.
My thoughts exactly
Black Swan is my go-to Aronofsky film. It resonates the most with me and I LOOOVE peeling those same layers, Jeremy. I can't wait to see this one soon.
Watched this the other day. Didn’t know much going In and was blown away. It’s been years since a movie brought me to tears and this one had me crying like a baby. Excellent performances all around, especially from Frazier.
This movie hit home for me because I can relate through my family. I’m a pretty cold person, and for me to cry during a movie is rare. Great job! Great performance!!!
Hong Chau was amazing. She did so great complimenting Fraser's character.
I saw “The Whale” last night and was blown away. What performances! If Brendan Fraser doesn’t win an Oscar for this role, I’d be genuinely surprised. All of the supporting actors were stellar … even Dan, the pizza delivery guy, was nuanced. Let it be known that Brendan Fraser is the one to beat in this year’s Oscar race.
I’am going to see it just because of Brendan Fraser! I hope he wins that Oscar! Great review!
Thanks for the review. Looking forward to seeing the film. My favorite *Darren Aronofsky* film has to be *_The Fountain_* (2006). My fiancé had passed away 18 months prior to its release. That film _still_ hits me where I live. 🙇🏼♂️
Oh wow. 🥺 Yeah, that would definitely do it. I'm sorry for your loss. Seeing a film like that after a loss so hard, would be a struggle indeed. But what a movie it was. I hope that it helped to give you a sense of wonder & also closure, knowing that we all live again, and never really truly go anywhere... 😌🙏🏼 Peace to you.
The Fountain is horribly underrated, and wildly misunderstood, imo.
My condolences.
Love that film and also was great acting
The Fountain is also my favorite. It's been years since I've seen it and I still think about it!
There’s a couple scenes that traumatized me, and I loved it
What the daughter finally says at the end killed me
@@kovy4win that and when he says something about wanting to know that he did one thing right in his life, holy moly 😂
@@Dill_Pickle5760 that almost got me but when Ellie says daddy please....I unleashed the dam
The scene where Fraser is introduced on camera?
I felt so touched by this movie, I am in that point of life where I just wanna die and end it all, I just wanna know that I did something right in life, thats why I am pushing forward, I want to see my friends succeed, I am transforming my home into a hostel to give my best friend a solid job that doesnt fire him randomly, and I just want to give my all to them because I dont matter anymore... This movie broke me so badly, this is just purest cinema and I am glad I got to see it..
Thats great. Remember you are loved! You might feel like you made people upset but you have such a big future ahead of you.
I'm so sorry you feel so much pain. You do matter and you are loved ❤ From personal experience, I know I can be my own worst critic and judge because I literally live with myself all the time and I make mistakes, have regrets, and blame myself for other people's own issues... I'm learning to have compassion for others, but also just as important, for myself. We are human, we have the potential to do great things, but also make great mistakes...that's why I think its important to have love, compassion, forgiveness for ourselves just as much as we have it for others. Take care of yourself man
@@Eserr7856 Thank you for your comment and its true we are human and we learn by mistakes, thank you, hope you take care of yourself too
Just to let you know: don’t ever give up. If you are a human being you have a chance coming up to help someone else in a way that will lift you out of a dark place. AND aha! Moments that will lift you up. When you have dark thoughts that’s when you need to say, Out loud: NO! I will never let go of my precious life. I love myself unconditionally and will never harm myself knowingly. Life is mysterious and miracles happen every second. Say “Send me a miracle!” Out loud and keep saying it and miracles wil appear to save your life. Sometimes from the least expected situation. Those dark thoughts are not the “real” you. They are just thoughts probably put there by someone you told you you were not worth it. Don’t ever let the bastids get ya down!
@@cutzymccall7675 Thank you, but mentally I am already out... I already experience alcoholism, weed, cigarretes, a bunch of extra things, lost mom and dad, like I already lived my life, I just wanna get money so I can make sure my friend has a great future, because I know as soon as the hostel is kicking off, my body is gonna betray me... Its just the way that its gonna be, whenever you are at your highest, its the point where you are gonna fall..
My daughter and I went to see it, and it’s one of the only films I’ve seen where at the end when the credits roll, the audience pauses and has to collect themselves before leaving. Tears in everyone’s eyes. I agree though you will either find it remarkable and poignant, or terrible.
This movie is disgusting.
@@garyzod8818 you’re extremely shallow minded
I have the same observation in regards to audience in cinema.
This ending had stuck with me. I was so emotional as I grew up around "bigger" people, and man what a performance holy shit
The example presenting Brendan 's acting in this film sent shivers down my spine. That voice truly convey pain and suffering.
I truly enjoyed this movie and feel that an overall theme is honesty. I think that if the viewer is open to it, everyone who leaves that theater can walk away with something they related to in this film. I totally agree that is has many layers to it and is worth multiple watches.
Dealing with addiction in those around me throughout my life this is one of the most honest and grounded depictions of it i have ever seen, every character shocked me with their depth and humanity, no one was one thing, they all had their flaws. His ex wife was dramatically built up to be this irrseponsible alchoholic and her actual characterization in her main scene was that but it was also tender, loving, caring, and sentimantal. This movie is truly somthing special
Really excited for this one. I love Darren Aronofsky and my favorite film by him has always been The Fountain. It's also my absolute favorite soundtrack.
He dies in the end.
That flick blew my mind to pieces
My first Darren Aronofsky film and my favorite. It blew my 7th grade mind!
YES, THE FOUNTAIN IS EVERYTHING 😍❤️
Is the fountain underrated? Because I love it and I dont hear enough people say they love it.
It was incredible. It’s a movie that hits you in 20 different ways. Makes you want to go home and hug a loved one.
But like DA movies. It’s a movie you’re not gonna wanna watch over and over, you experience it. Then it sits with you.
Just got out of seeing it and i think that what's sticking with me is Hong Chau's character and her devastation at how Charlie let himself go after her brother's suicide because she knows it's that he blames himself for not loving him hard enough as he says later in the movie, which is just devastating. The family dynamics is what made this really a stand out for me., the one scene between him and the mom where she listens to his heart and he reminisces and there's that build up is just brilliantly set up.
The best scene for me was (SPOILERS AHEAD) the conversation he had with his wife about their troublesome parenting. It really puts their parental roles in perspective. The mother is clearly the angry parent and Charlie is the softer one who should have been there to cheer the kid up after the lecturing and tough love from her mom.
Even by the end of the movie I wasn’t convinced that his daughter really cares about people, but no parent wants to believe that.
I haven’t seen The Whale yet, but my favourite Aronofsky movie is The Fountain. I think it’s beautiful.
SAME 🥰❤️🎬
I’m expecting this to be dark. This is coming from the same filmmaker who made Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan and “Mother!”…at least Brendan Fraser’s been making a comeback with this and Doom Patrol.
Mother starring the first ever female action star.
@@anubusx ROtFL she didn't even time-travel in the X-Men prequel ~ time travel (because Logan did everything, apparently).
Brenden won best actor baby! LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!
Started watching Jeremy when I was 11 I’m 22 now I can’t imagine my movie experience without him and I hope he knows how much of celebrated and loved person he is in this era where you tubers mean more to us than any celebrity ever could, dark knight rises and him are synonymous in my head for some reason regardless thank you man !!
Also from uk that paddy sentence caught of guard cool to know you follow the UFC 😂
Darren is genius. I think it is either Fraser or Austin Butler
Austin Butler will get the Oscar nomination, but the Oscar win will certainly go to Brendan Fraser and it's a lock for him.
Also, Colin Farrell will also get an Oscar nomination for his terrific performance in The Banshees of Inisherin.
The academy loves comebacks and tearjerker performances. It's a lock for Fraser.
that paddy the baddy reference 😭😭yea that was a terrible decision by the judges
1:20
I have zero context for this clip from the film and I still feel like someone reached right inside my chest and tore my heart out.
That's powerful.
I've loved Fraser since 1992, Encino Man. He deserves an Oscar 💯. Such a great guy, he deserves all the best.
School Ties and With Honors also two brilliant films
And this is why i watch Jeremys reviews before i go see any movie, all are reviewed from the heart. He truly has a talent for picking great entertainment
I absolutely loved this movie and the entire cast, though Brendan Fraser showed us a side of his acting we had never seen before. So glad he is back and I hope we get more performances like this!
He's showed it before.
The trailer brings me to tears. I imagine I would cry for most of the film. I can’t wait to see it, I love Frasier. I want to support him. And I think this film has a great message.
I don't usually get very emotional while watching films but I legit cried /weeped at least 3 times during The Whale. I was a mess by the end. Truly an amazing performance by Fraser!
Glad to see you reviewed this. What a stellar performance from Fraser
Damn, Jeremy, you got it right with Best Actor and Best Makeup at the Oscars. Well done. Ama take your bet next tome
Jeremy I’m a huge fan since day 1 and i just wanted to say you are my favorite person on CZcams and even though these years have been rough I think you’re positivity has helped me and a lot of people hold on you’re awesome man i can’t wait to see what you do next year merry Christmas 🎄
Hope you’re doing good my man
Darren Aronofsky is one of those directors that I will support no matter what the project is about, because I believe in his work so much. Hell, even with the movie "Noah" pulled a stellar performance out of Russel Crowe in that movie. It was incredible, and it's honestly an underrated gem. 😏💎 Doesn't get enough credit. Never seen a biblical movie like that. "Mother!" was hella good too, and for the same reasons. Dude is just a directing genius tbh.
Edit: I encourage ALL of you to watch "The Fountain" if you haven't already. It's AMAZING movie. 🤩🏆🎬
The one clip you showed of the movie almost made me cry. So powerful. Great acting.
Love the Paddy reference since I'm a big movie and MMA fan, lol. Can't wait to see this movie and thanks for your opinions as always
Oath. Him brining up the Paddy vs Gordan fight caught me off guard.
I was gonna tell my friends my thoughts on this movie. But I’ll just send em this. Saves me time while still perfectly capturing how I felt. Great review!
I really love your reviews. Admittedly, I only watch them after I've watched the movies, but you add so much insight.
I didn't realize who the director was, and the works under his belt. Oddly, though, I came away from this one thinking about Requiem for a Dream. It was that powerful.
This movie is incredible. I love the honesty of the entire thing. It has been a long time since I cried like that.
How can a man be as lovable as Brendan, everyone loves him. he’s like the main character and we are the side characters in life that root for him lol
There's a clinical psychiatric term for that- Flying Monkeys. Congratulations, you just got your wings from Malignant Covert Narcissist Brendan Fraser.
@@equissage9701 soooo… what exactly did he do to you?
@@arturs8463 Enough. There's a group of us, each with our own reasons for wanting Brendan to get his comeuppance.
@@equissage9701 sure.. like one example
@@arturs8463 I bet you'd enjoy one of the gay ones.
My favorite movie of 2022 to date, and I would be stunned if anything I see this weekend or next week tops this. I knew it would make me a emotional wreck. But I sure did not expect this to cover so many real life problems and hit home for me like this.
This movie was heartbreaking even though at the same time beautiful as far as the message over all. Even if you don’t relate to Charlie’s condition, his depression and the losses he’s faced in his life I totally related too and it emotionally recked me to see it played out. But that also makes it that much more significant because I feel like most people would be identify with at least one of the characters and the issues they deal with.
So glad to see you are still around! Merry Christmas!
I grew up concerning all my friends with how much I enjoyed Requiem. There is something about a truly tragic story that just hits differently than any other type of film. Years later, I finally sat down and watched The Wrestler and my god - that movie is now by far and away my favorite Aronofsky film (which is hard, because they're all fantastic). The idea of being a screwup, knowing you're a screwup, trying your best to change, and - well, screwing it up, just hits some deep part of being human. Super excited for The Whale, although I'll have to be in the right mindset to leap in.
Brendan Fraser is gonna win an Oscar for The Whale, that's for sure. What a phenomenal performance of him.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great review Jeremy and I agree with you about this being a very intimate film! Just wanted to mention that you’re one of my main inspirations for starting my channel. I have a long way to go but appreciate all your consistency over the years! Hope you have a great Christmas and Holiday! 🙏🏼🐐
I just saw this movie today, I don't cry in movie theaters but this one got me. I just couldn't hold it together anymore.
I'm pretty excited about this one. I've had a blast watching Brendan Fraser in Doom Patrol and really want him to knock it out of the park with this performance.
Awesome 👌🏼 can't wait to see it.
My favorite Aranofsky film would be The Fountain.
Oscars or not, it's always a treat to see such depth in a film and (especially for me) Brendon's innate compassion and quirkiness - he radiates.
Favorite Aronofsky: The Fountain
I'm not trying to be edgy when i say this. I genuinely mean it. Love the concept, the execution, and the performances. It is the best film score i think I've ever heard start to finish. I really enjoy and mostly love every Aronofsky film. Always want Clint Mansell to score, so that might be ny only down note.
Very excited to see The Whale!
I miss the days of Jeremey dropping random UFC & Boxing videos. Would have loved to hear his thoughts on the last fights.
We need a 4K disc of The Fountain. Well..of all of his stuff actually. I can’t think of one that I haven’t enjoyed (to variable degrees of course)
I always enjoy revisiting that film.. very underrated.
Saw the movie and had to look for your review! This movie was very dark but intimate. So happy Brendan is getting the recognition he deserves. I was in tears at the end.
I loves Brendan since Encino Man and have been a fan of his ever since…he can make me laugh and cry with his movies. Outside of his more comedy based films..School Ties was the first time I got to see the other serious side of Brendan’s performance…I love that movie so much and other one that was just amazing was Gods & Monsters…so damn good!
I didn’t see this as yet but I know he put his all into this movie. I’m so glad he’s back doing what he loves.. it’s good to have him back
i felt so much emotion on just one clip you played. i have always loved Brendan Fraser. he has so much more to give
That line Brendan makes when you talk about Oscar win. I saw it in a trailer and I cried When I saw it again in the movie, I cried even harder. Holy bejesus. That line was delivered amazingly!
I’m madly in love with The Fountain. It’s definitely not one of the most popular, but i love everything about it. Story, music, colours, iconography, concept. A true masterpiece for me. I also like the others.
Coming back to the review after Brandon's Oscar win. So happy for him
This was so painful yet beautiful. What an amazing performance
