- Title: Finestkind (2023)
Plot: Finestkind tells the story of two half-brothers (Ben Foster and Toby Wallace), raised in different worlds, who are reunited as adults over a fateful summer. Set against the backdrop of commercial fishing, the story takes on primal stakes when desperate circumstances force the brothers to strike a deal with a violent Boston crime gang. Along the way a young woman (Jenna Ortega) finds herself caught perilously in the middle. Sacrifices must be made and bonds between brothers, friends, lovers, and a father (Tommy Lee Jones) and his son are put to the ultimate test.

You can say that again.

@@johnkolinoff8591hey Johnny, don’t know if you know. Tommy Lee Jones is an absolute stone cold legend! ✌️
"Please?"
That wasn't him asking for his son's life, that was him asking to spare theirs.
Dam this is like the very real grounded version of equalizer
@@mattng4707 It is bro.
I got some No Country for Old Men vibes from this and not just because they both have Tommy Lee Jones.
@@FortyWink you will see when this world ends as we are near it, just keep talkin so the world can turn u bloody red, world war 3 is on its Way, we did part 1 n 2. God doesn't care about movies he cares about the real life events that must unfold like a movie but very Real. You wanna play games and think men won't put a bullet in you?? You really think that Avatar color is necessary cuz thats in mens future, darkness, then the resurrection, hell or heaven. Pick 1, cuz if you pick the wrong one in the Afterlife, your finished. I know u'll be shitting out your ass, really bad, but u won't be able to, u'll shake in front of God, a Giant mighty God. What will u and ur family say, no country for old men?? This ain't hollywood, but our life is a real movie the bible is the script. Jesus read our comment, he's using me to tell you, choose this day whom u will serve, don't worry about Tommy Lee for the Lord thy God shall erase these celebrities, they refuse to repent some of them want Christ but for others its too late they made blood sacrifices killed their families and rejected God, Jennifer Hudson killed her family and Nephew she had help. The wrong person's in prison. Satan controls this World 🌍 🌍God allowed it, he's letting him go so far that when God gets tired he will eventually kill him with the word of God, not with a real sword, but God's words which is a sword above any sword. Jennifer Hudson killed her family, listen to the 9 11 tapes she' d scting weird, she doesn't scream loud enough. But she will, in hell.
AMAZING
My dad was terminally ill at 85. He was telling me for the first time, and he started crying because he said he couldn't protect mom and me now. That was the first time I really felt what it was like to be grown up. I just hugged him and told him I would protect him and mom now. The man would have killed and/or died for my mom, my two brothers and myself. I miss him.
Sorry for your loss, I lost family members 2 aunts to cancer, lost my grandma and uncle to covid and my other uncle in a motorcycle accident, they lived in Mexico and its been many years that i have not traveled to Mexico to visit them and i always wanted to go visit them but never got the chance to see them again 💔. God bless you and your family. Your dad will always watch over you and your family every day, trust me. My family that i have lost has watched over me every day and saved my life in couple accidents I had.
Sorry for your loss. You should feel proud for having had such a father as it doesn't always happen. Mine couldn't protect us even from himself.
My dad was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last week he has never been sick always healthy never drank or smoked he started loosing weight and getting sick and we thought it was his gallbladder but it wasn’t I’m still numb from it he just turned 78 and I was thinking about all of the good things that we were going to do together and I’m still holding onto it but I’ve never seen him as sick as he is right now
may he rest in peace :)
Great story mate
When Tommy said Please, my heart broke for his character. There was so much feeling in that one word. He’s such a great actor!
As a father. I understand. Any good father would protect their boy. It is our purpose.
Would it have been awkward had his son came into the restaurant and said: "Daddy, what did you do? I already got the money! What the fudge?!"?
I intentionally used "fudge" instead of the "f word" because he doesn't use bad words when his daddy is around.
I agree. The father's explanation hit hard.
so true
He was pleading for a chance then insulted him and still threatened his son any father would do the same for their child.
I don't know the movie, just guessing... Perhaps, by killing a ruthless drug dealer (or several), he "protected" more "children" than just his son...?
I saw this movie while i was in drug treatment a few months ago. It was a great movie. It made me think about how my son is the most important thing in my life and how I should never choose drugs over my son. Im now 6 months clean, and my son has a good father again after 5 years of being massively addicted to drugs after being injured in the Army. 5 years were wasted, but I have the rest of my life to do better and be better. If anyone is struggling with addiction, just know you can do it. A clean and sober life is better than one where you are chasing a high for temporary relief. If anyone needs help... reply to this comment.
HUA, brother. I have no greater respect for a person than one who chooses to make a change and does so for more than himself, and not because life demanded and forced him to. Greater than self happens seldom in life but when it does, there is nothing finer. From one vet to another, head up and heart strong brother.
best to you stay strong --- one day at a tme
i find it hard with my 2 boys same battle i want to be better for them.
Stay focused brother!!! VA center had me on so many medications, I was a walking zombie with severe mood swings, ready to snap!!! Working out, meditation & my 9 year old daughter is what saved me. Everyday I focus on being a better father for my daughter, keeps me focused!!! 3rd Ranger Battalion 1998-2001
God bless you sir
"I've got boys of my own. I hate to see them jammed like this."
What a great father figure.
Some dudes never progress beyond clan based mentality. Note down who they are while theres still semblance of law enforcement.
They'll grow up better without a father like this in their lives

The ultimate irony is that the bad guy's quote was *actually* a quote a good father would use, he just didn't realize the double meaning behind it.
Are they black African kids 😊🚬
From the first moment I looked into my sons eyes I told him I would always protect him and look out for him, thirty years later I'm still here now he protects me.
Amen brother Amen
A woman feels like a mother when she's pregnant. A man feels like a father when he actually sees the kid. This is well-known and somewhat weird, but true.
Cringe.
@@NotCharAznable Fatherless behavior
@@Vsm426 no he is right it's weird to go on the internet and tell us how much you love your son like like just tell him yourself
I have a six-month-old son, I never thought I would have kids, but it's true, I would give my life for him in the blink of an eye..😢
Exactly, because that's what fathers do for their kids no ifs, ands or buts.
@@mazimo1 Sadly that's not true for all of them, some of them are just filth
When I saw my son for the first time, I had my wife's hand in mine while she was having a C-section. They handed him to me and it was the first time I ever felt so conflicted about who I had to "protect" first, him or my wife. It was even strawberry having just met him. Absolutely understand the feeling. And he's right, you might "forget" it's there, but it never goes away. The moment they need you it comes right back.
@@markhavasi8193but the vast majority it is true. For cognitively normal people you’re evolutionarily predisposed to have that protective instinct over offspring
Its so cliche, but all so very true. Words can't describe the love you feel for your child.
There are two types of people that you don't want to mess with: those who have nothing to lose, and those who have everything to lose.
Excellent comment 👍
And those that are actors in a movie
@@glennbateman4483and those in the comments section who are beige
Never make the only exit through you.
@@glennbateman4483 You see real ones every once in a while, maybe more now that we are on our own.
First time I heard my son's heartbeat without hesitation I knew I would lay my life down for him and if needed to do whatever it takes to protect him
My parents abandoned me when I was ten days old. I never knew a father’s love and have paid for that loss every day of my life as I grew up. But they, too, lost. They would never know the devotion of a strong, healthy son who would love and protect them in their old age. It is sad when everyone loses.
Very thoughtful words. Depriving children of love is a terrible offence. It takes enormous effort to deal with it and still become a loving parent.
I never knew any grandparents. I miss that, but you had it worse I see. I never knew my real parents either but I had a nice adoptive family. They were kind good people but I had no relatives other than them and they are long gone as I am old.
"When my Father and Mother rebuke me, The Lord will care for me." Psalms
dont screw over your own kids now though and end up the same lmao
I understand what you're saying.
My son was murdered on July 5th 2020. The gang banger that pulled the trigger only served one year 2 months. Tommy Lee Jones character in this movie touches me.
So sorry for your loss, that must have been devastating. ❤

"Some day if you ever have a son. The first time you look him you get a feeling all at once, that you'd die for him. Little thing you never saw before and you would stone cold die for him. That feeling doesn't go away. You might forget, but it's always there. Always there."

My wife miscarried twice in the first few years after we were married. The doctors could never give us a reason why. Years went by and nothing. She started infertility treatment but it was taking too much of a toll on her mentally because it wasn't working. I remember praying before her last procedure. I didn't pray that she would get pregnant. I prayed for God to bless us with a child. I think I prayed harder than I did before my dad died. Once again, the procedure didn't take. About two months later we met our son. He was three weeks old when we brought him home. I knew the second my wife held him. His adoption was finalized a week before Christmas. He's now a twelve year old pain in the ass and I would gladly give my life for him without a second thought.
❤😊
Isn't god responsible for miscarriages? If god is responsible for making your wife pregnant then God must be responsible for miscarriages
Bless you.
Bless you and your family. Most don't know the pain of miscarriages. Your son is very fortunate to have parents like you.
Powerful. I'm watching this at work and have to hide the tears that just flowed down my face. I'm a father of 2 sons and one grandson...and I would do the same. God help us all.
Get back to work, slacker.
Bullshit.
ok guys i found the stupidest boomer ever!!! lmao
You really care about your 2 sons--watching videos at work.
Life lesson....never run your mouth like you are untouchable. One day, you will run across someone a whole lot tougher than you, with nothing to lose. Carry yourself high...but be humble in life.
Edit: Some of you people have the iq of a potato, so let me clarify for you slow ones in the back. Movies tend to push messages and lessons within them. They don't have to be based in real life, nor do they have to be correct in their story. The message being shared in this scene, is very correct, and very obvious to see(see original comment). Not my fault you guys can't pull head from rear to see it for yourselves. Some people dont have an end game fear of loss...hence why prisons are over populated 👌
They dont have to even be tougher than you. Just more desperate.
@@An_Average_Idiot "You know what more dangerous than a man who has everything? A man who has nothing to lose".
Don’t overthink it it’s a movie.
Yeah we know that, captain fucking obvious @bob1519
Exactly 💯
I was worried when my son was born that I wouldn't feel anything, but when I saw him and held him I changed forever. My life was no longer about me and I knew I would have all the courage to protect him and love him till I die
When we become fathers we gain another level of emotions.
You were worried about being a sociopath?
No @anthonysmith8946. No point in explaining to you. Your comment says enough
@@anthonysmith8946Pretty common. I had the same worry as well.
Same worry here, though I’ve always been the mushy type. What surprised me was how I changed into what’s shown in the video… I’d never hurt anyone before my boys were born… but after? I can’t say what I’d do because I’ll get my account terminated. I’ll just leave it at that.
My biggest fear used to be dying before I had a son. Now that I have a son my biggest fear is that he might die before me.
Yep. Every parent's fear.
I've never feared death - ever...and I have not much to lose.... but I do fear losing those I love. If anything happened to any of them, because of someone else, that person [or people] would experience physical and emotional turmoil... i.e fate (interpret that as you may), that they couldn't even begin to imagine in their worst nightmares.... and it wouldn't end with them, along with them, all they love would be extinguished.
Amen
Yeah, my brother died at 18. My female cousin died at 16. My uncle died at 30. The worst thing that could happen to a parent.
I know. raised a son. my only child. Before you have a kid, your life is the most
valuable thing you have. Once you have a child, you would give your life up so
readily for them. They never tell you about the fear, though. The fear that the
world can take its toll on them and you cant do anything about it.
Decades ago, in west Texas, my grandparents got a knock at the door. A nice guy named introduced himself as Tom Jones, said he bought some property nearby and wanted to meet the neighbors and take them to lunch. My grandpa was a physician and I don't think they even had a television in the house. If he told them his occupation, they couldn't recall, but they saw him on a poster years later and told the story. A polite and well spoken young man from their recollection.
I had two sons, both were still born. Then I had a daughter but she died when she was only a few minutes old. I couldn’t take it anymore and wanted an end, 3 times I tried to take my own life, I was tired and wanted a way out. But then in 2016 I had a son, he’s 7 years old now and no matter how bad things get, no matter how much depression beats me down, I keep going for him, I live for him. He saved my life but he’ll never know that. He’s the reason I carry on every single day. This scene hits hard because there’s nothing I won’t do to give my son the best life I can. Now I’m all about positivity and moving forwards! ❤
No one should ever have to go through the amount of heartache that you just described. I am truly glad to read that you are in a better state of mind. Stay positive.
Damn sorry for your loss.
@@HyghrollerThank you for your kind words! ❤
You are a warrior... i wosh all the best for you and your child.
wow this comment made me cry and then I realised you and i are both Chester's.
Never..... Ever...... Threaten a son in front of a father who apparently has nothing to lose
OK. It's just a film dude.
@@jamesrowden303clearly you’re not a dad. If you were you’d understand why this scene is so moving.
I don't have any children of my own, but I have 6 stepkids who are my world, and, I'm an old fart pushing 70. So yes, fuck around and find out is understandable here.
@@jamesrowden303 test the theory.
If you think it was about having "nothing to lose" you completely missed the point.
Wow!! What a powerful statement about the first time you look at your son!! The power of love. A man protecting someone he loves is fearless! Even a boy protecting one he loves.
My father left sick mother and my little sister and brother when i was 5 years old.I grew up teaching myself how to take care of my family and becoming a U.S. Army paratrooper at 17.I felt that I would give my life for my family and my country so they could live in the greatest country in the world.I'm 58 years old now and still wish i had a father like Tommy Lee Jones in this movie.One who gave a damn.
I salute you . God bless you ! Same for me but I didn't end up in the army . Very best wishes from Richard in the UK .
Me too, Thank you for your service
You deserved better and turned tragedy into nobility. Few are called upon as you were to find an inner courage to be kind, to be loving, to be good. A national treasure, Sir, a national treasure.
As a father, that is so true. There is not one single father in this world (a good father) who wouldn't lay down his life for his sons or daughters.
Of course it is better to live for them but if you have to you will.
Lol what a daft thing to say. There are plenty of fathers who wouldn't give a sh!t if their kids lived or died.
@@MoonshineSazerachence why he said “(a good father)” lol.
@@MoonshineSazeracyou come off sounding like these drug dealers in this scene that Pops just shot dead.
@@MoonshineSazerac hence "good father"
@@MoonshineSazeracthen they were not fathers. A father is someone who loves and lay down your life for you.
I have two daughters, now in their 30's with kids of their own. I would die for them in an instant, and I have felt that way from the moment I first laid eyes on them the day they were born. He is so right, a feeling just comes over you.
That feeling my friend is a blessing from God, if we didn’t have that we would t survive as a species
He was describing father son relationship, if his English was too heavy for you.
I have three and feel the same way. Feel the same way about my grandkids!!
Look up Within Heaven's Gates by Rebecca Springer. Page 64 😇
Love Tommy Lee Jones, great actor, he spoke for all good fathers in that scene. I have one beautiful daughter and I'd do anything for her
The best part here is all in the comments section r dads...reacting and sharing there stories..and very touching..as a child growing up we never felt affection to our father since he works abroad he seldom comes home send financial for our family but instead staying w/us every vacation he'd rather be w/his mistress and friends..upon seing ur comments and this movie clip i wish u are all my father...
God said call no one on earth "Father" because He is our only. Men will fail. He will not. Believe in Jesus and you will be fine. Our life here is so short that in 1 million years in paradise you will not even remember. Now, you can be the best dad to your sons/daughter you can be. Forgive your dad and fix the broken chain.
TLJ acting like forest gump
I am sorry to hear that man, I wish we’d all get to have good fathers. Mine was a complicated man to say the least. I spent most of my life resenting him for his failure to be there for me in the ways I wanted and needed, I could not have felt any other way. He loved us kids but his parents messed him up pretty good so despite his best efforts, he could never be fully free of that trauma and couldn’t help but pass some of it on to us. I often felt I was an inconvenience to him. In recent years though he changed somehow, surprising all of us. He became kinder, calmer, more loving and present. This went on long enough to know it was genuine, then he died suddenly and without warning right when things were getting good. It has made me ponder the nature of life, family, karma, fate and so many things I never considered about him, but above all, I am left with what was good, true and beautiful. All the resentment washed away the minute I found him, dead. We never really know what we have until it’s gone, sometimes that revelation will knock you on your ass with its clarity. If you have children, for the love of God, work as hard as you can on correcting your flaws and just do your best with them. We must do better than our fathers. Forgive me for dumping this story that may be scattered, I am still in the grief as of writing. Whoever you are, I feel you and I love you. This life thing is fucking crazy and painful but love shines through all. That’s what we remember best.
The world is a bitch…with incredibly useless people. Sorry you had a bad upbringing. The question now I ask is how do you treat your children if you’re trying to compare your life, I assume you’re a parent? If not, take notes of your life and decide if you are going to continue your emotional landslide.
TLJ needs to know that whether or not he ever receives another award that THIS is one of his FINEST performances. POWERFUL.
The comments remind me of the saying, 'Yes, you would die for your kid. But are you ready to live well for your kid?'. It was something that struck me deep. Dying requires one impulsive moment. Living well requires countless moments of delayed gratification.
Seems obvious but so often overlooked, profound.
I lived by example unlike my father who was the example of how not to be a man. I started my own business. I built our house with my own two hands. I've been married to the same woman for 25 years. Living for your family is much harder
A beautiful performance. True unconditional love.
Just that one scene warrants an Oscar nomination for Mr Jones.
There is no bigger responsibility on the planet than being a good father and doing everything you can to raise your kids right. And yes, you need to do this while also working and doing everything else. It’s a 24/7 commitment. And, we need more fathers like this in the world when all else fails.
I know what he is talking about. From the first time I knew my wife was pregnant with all 3 of our kids, I knew that I would die a thousand times for them. Today they are grown men and women and I am 60 years old and that feeling has never left, never diminished one bit.
I worked with Mr. Jones years ago on the movie Coal Miners Daughter. I was a lighting guy/electrician. I saw him as a young rowdy character. Who knew he'd turn out to be such a wonderful talented superstar! He was always nice, polite, and respectful of everyone on the set! Great memory.
My father walked out on us when I was born. My son is now 14 Tyler. The day Tyler was born, it hit me harder because I would walk through hell smiling to protect my son. All of my love and Respect to good fathers who would do anything for their families.
At least your father left. Mine stayed and beat me and abused me mentally. He tried to kill me a few times. In the end I became the exact opposite of my father. I became the family protector and provider. When I found out I was going to be a father I cut all ties and moved my family far away from my parents. Now the father to 5 kids (3 girls 2 boys) I can't even imagine abusing them the way I was
@hellhound1389 I'm sorry you had to go through that. My mother's boyfriends beat me,locked me in closts for hours. So I get it. God bless you and your family!!!!
Idk why but I actually cried because of what he said the first time you look at your son you would die for him. If you are a dad you would understand that feeling. Being a father is a great life experience.
*I loved my Dad so much, still love him and miss him. I never truly understood his love until my daughter was born and now that my son is coming soon, my understanding grows. I know his joy, his excitement, his sacrifice, his stress, his pain and his worry. I wish he could meet his granddaughter and his grandson - he'd be so proud. I hope I see him again in time.*
count on it,GOD DOES NOT WASTE LIVES,HE LIVES THROUGH THEM,WE ARE HIS,CREATED IN HIS OWN IMAGE,THAT'S IMPORTANT
I never understood mine either, but it was always there.
Sadly many people didn't have a father's love.
Trust me, your Father is watching over you and your children!! I'm a Truck Driver and a few years ago I was driving in a Blizzard, another Semi had just passed me and lost control of his truck and trailer and wrecked in front of me, I got stopped just before I hit him and as I set there I swear I could feel my Father's
presence in the passenger seat next to me!!!
Mine walked out on three fine boys, one of which he adopted. He walked out on 6 amazing grandchildren that he never bothered to meet.
I'll never understand it.
He told a parent...to pick out a coffin for his child because he would kill him. I dont even have children. I dont know of this compulsion his talking about. But by God i can empathize. And this man would die as sure as the sky is blue and the grass is green.
Triggered pulled the second he thought he could say my son would be gone before me
Haven't got to watch the movie yet. But as a full time dad and having to bury my first son...this scene is so powerful to me ...a dad's love for his child runs deep....I was blessed with a second opportunity at being a dad and this speaks volumes
It’s good that you actually put the title of the movie, not many channels do. Can’t wait to see the whole thing!
I can't believe they used the "can you believe this fucking guy?" Line. Every time a bad guy says that you know their capped.
Yeah man...like, it's 2024. Actors know how to act in a realistic way now. I can excuse this shit if it were the 80's but in the modern day, there's no excuse for this anymore. Scriptwriters keep making actors do these unrealistic, over-the-top, campy ass performances with these cliche lines and it just completely takes me out of the immersion of the movie.
Saw a vid here on CZcams that had a compilation of lines like that taken from dozens of movies. The one that got me was the “you don’t get it,” followed by an explanation of the plot so far. This was a good scene, but it could have been a great scene with better writing and directing. This almost has the South Park Aspen ski bully vibe about it.
All these Directors , screenwriters and actors probably saw Gary Oldman's Drexl in True Romance and thought they'd have a go and end up showing what a bubble they live in.
Yeah, could have come up with a little more original line there.
To be fair, it's probably exactly what the bad guy would say in that situation. What should the line have been instead?
This happened when they handed me my daughter. It scared the crap out of me. It was like an instant update. You just instantly love and would do anything for this lil stranger.

Now I'm crying at work, thinking about my dad.
My mum & Dad are both gone now, my mum just last month, i feel the same EVERY day ❤
Well he asked nicely. He even said "please".
Almost 15 years ago now I had my first Son at the age of 37. Once I looked at him... I knew that was it. I was prepared to do anything that needed to be done and nothing else mattered.
What did u do
As a Father of 2 ,And I thank God for them everyday!
This is a Very True Fact , our wife’s risk their own Life’s To Give Life and when you First see and Hold your child,
A Lion is awaken in us God fearing Men.
I agree with what he said at the end.. I have a son, he's one year and three months old soon. The moment he came to this world, I knew my life is not important anymore, only his is. His wellbeing is the most important thing in the universe for me. I would sacrifice my life in a blink of an eye for him.
That love is not comparable to anything.. I love him more than anything in the entire universe.
making a sacrifice for your child can give them perspective, make them understand, have them grow. Beautiful.
Fully understand. My only child my Son, was born while I was a young Marine in Vietnam. My last night in country our small blip on the tac map was hit by VC and NVA. Half overrun we (and a small contingent of Army 101st Fighting Eagles - 101st Airborne) beat them back and out of our compound.
Being spared that early morning I was duty and Love bound to protect, provide full care to the raising of my Son.
First time I held him and looked into his trusting eyes, I knew. Felt his skin against my skin after I bathed him, the bond and promise was made.
Anyone who stood in my Son's way to safety, comfortable life, upbringing and chance for success later on in life was standing in harm's way. Let there be no doubt.
Some men got hurt, but they earned their "reward." My Son is now a very successful young man, happily married on a professional position.
I fully understand the father character in tnis scene.
Big respect to you, my father was a Kurdish guerilla, he fought against Iran, Turkey, Syria, Iraq and been living in the mountains with only purpose of killing and sabotaging. He met my mother in a political camp and they decided to get married. When he was drunk one day, he told me that the only reason he didn't die in those mountains is because I was born and he had a bigger call in life than freedom. He took us to Europe for our future, left the PKK behind, he was called a traitor by some, our family elders disowned him and he had no support from Kurds in Europe since he was considered a "deserter." That did not stop him, he started over in Europe and raised us to be better. Now I got myself a solid career, a beautiful wife and we have a baby on the way. Sadly my father passed away in 2017, he went back to Syria when ISIS emerged to fight once more, as local population needed experienced guerillas to teach and mobilize the civilians against ISIS & Turkey. We told him not to, well I guess once a soldier always a soldier, that's what he wanted and I am sure he died without doubts or any regret. I just realized that my father was born to fight in those mountains, that's what he wanted to do and that's what he was born for, but once I born, his priorities suddenly changed, he became an outcast among Kurds and was pushed away by everyone in his life just so he can raise me. RIP Father, I love you to death, till we meet again.
Thank you for your service. I'm glad you returned. The Peace of Christ be with you and your family.
@wowsocool3318 My profound respect and prayers for a restful sleep for your Father. I believe you will be reunited in time with him. Be assured he is proud and very pleased with you and what you have achieved with your life. May the Almighty continue to smile and bestow the sacred gifts of grand health and prosperity upon his descendants.
Your father was a savage bro (in a good way). May he rest in peace. Thanks for your history.@@wowsocool3318
101st? That's a decorated battalion.
Thanks for adding this to my watch list.
Thanks Sir !!!
When my son took his first breath into this world, when he was handed to his mother, I spoke to him calling out to him and he lifted his head with all his strength and looked up at me and smiled.. I knew at that moment, he knew me and recognized my voice and I would forever remember that feeling. I’ll do anything to protect my family. 💙
Awwww
In a time when a lack of strong fathers is prevalent in society, a strong and loving father is one of its most undervalued and unsung heroes. My dad is still my Superman and I know I'm such for my own children - quite the responsibility, but an honor.
"Be tender and gentle toward your children. Be fierce and dangerous for your children."
One of the most underrated actors, Tommy Lee is!!
Ben Foster had one of those Tombstone movie moments when Doc Holiday goes to confront Ringo before his good friend Wyatt Earp gets himself killed!
I grew up without a father and with an abusive mother. I truly pray that if and when I have children, I can be that man they need me to be like Ray.
You will. I have no doubt in my mind that you will. You'll be the best father and parent you can be, and you'll do it out of spite for your own upbringing. And that's as good a reason as any.
How do I know this???
Because that's what I did.
Stay strong, brother. Much love you ya.
It's silly, but despite not being a father. I know the feeling he describes because I felt it once in a dream. In the dream I was at a hospital and I'm handed a newborn boy, my son. And something clicked. I knew I'd do anything for that boy. I'm not married irl or anything, so it really came out of left field. That being said, I'm sure you'll feel the same if you have a child.
You will have the opportunity to break the cycle. By being present and loving your kid(s) the way you should have been, you will give them the most important gift possible.
I have faith you can and will.
I hope you do. I did. I grew up without a father (mine was a drug-addicted, alchoholic who tried to kill me), and my mother was/is abusive to this day. I have two sons, and though I can't raise them like I was raised (because that would be very wrong), what I do is remember what I didn't like, what hurt me, and I don't do those things. Give your children what you didn't get - a good, loving home, and be the father that you wanted to have. This will mean making sacrifices, and some will be brutally difficult. I work 80+ hours a week to afford a nice, stable home, and spend what time I have with my boys and my wife. I go willingly into the grindstone for them, day, after day, week for week, month for month, year for year, because that's what it takes. Many talk about love, about what they would do. Be what you say. When teachers say things about your child, take time off and go sit in class, for as long as you need to see if they are telling the truth. Know your children. Be there for them, and love them.
I bet you won't cause you're a coward.
There never more truthful word spoken what a dad wouldn't do to protect his family 👍🏼❤
Oh I gotta watch this. This clip made me cry. I got a 14 year old boy and… yeah when he was born that feeling definitely washed over me. This child now means more to me than myself.
I have a son,I saw him come into this world,at that very moment I felt exactly the same way ,it's an incredible thing
Nothing like it. Nothing comes close. It’s also overwhelming a lot of the time. Especially when you take a look at the world.
Tommy Lee Jones needs an Oscar for this
Come on - he had a deadpan face the whole time - I could have "acted" this scene
@@user-xh2so8ef3oYou've clearly never acted. Harder to do than it seems.
Also -- he was speaking as well. You have to deliver the lines. The phrasing.
Needs something better than the old clichéd Oscar. He's molded himself over decades into a Super artist, a talent Unrecognizable from his old made-for-tv crap of the '70s. He's become a genius playing the weary but deadly whip-smart & sarcastic characters he specializes in.
@@user-xh2so8ef3othen prove it if you're so confident
They caught lead poisoning , Dad . You were never here
How he describes loving this little thing that you’ve never seen before and would die for it. A thousand times over for all my kids ❤
Tommy Lee is the GOAT.
Looks like one too. ( appologies to all goats for the insult )
Tommy Lee Jones.
Incredible actor one of my favorites
Tommy Lee Jones never disappoints. He always gives a master's class in acting.
All these comments making me realize id be a terrible dad, never having kids
Did this make anyone else tear up because this hurt bad listening to this... Cold hard truth in any situation a true father will do anything for his child...
"You might forget....but....it's always there"! powerful words!
Mr jones still knocking it out the park. 🔥
I never had kids, I feared I'd be a bad father because of how I was raised. I wished I was able to chose my father, I would have chosen differently.
Some of the best acting I've ever seen. Tommy Lee Jones has done some iconic performances but this scene is amazing.
Clayne Crawford chewing every piece of scenery he can find while Tommy Lee slow plays the character to maximum effect.
No way he owed 450,000 dollars. They were asking for it
welp... that why you don't borrow money from people like that
on that note the son did not borrow money from them
he help that guy with a drug deal i guess is the context
and it got stolen
Missed a zero bro. 4.5 MIL
Yeah its 4.5 million. Basically money that he had no chance of getting for him.
MATH
I think you meant 4,500,000.
"Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose."
Good movie
Tommy is just an amazing actor.
This hit me. He put what I feel as a father into perfect words.❤
I love how all of her performances are so
Love you Tommy. Never felt this from my own parents but I had a grandmother who made me feel such.
I'm a mother and I can say this is true also. There is no way anyone would hurt my kids. Let alone live to talk about it.
Except you, of course.
@@leobigelow7021 so rude and hateful
@@leobigelow7021 nope, on the Contrary. Our Kids hurt us. Many Times, unintended as 100% on Point with distinct Reasons alike. And what? Still our Kids. Try to intimidate Hers or Mine Upbrining and you will find out what Happens then. Its up to us, our Duty by Choice to lead Them into this World, and to protect Them. There are sure Parents that let you comment like This, agreed. Then sorry for You, but Hers and mine dont lack this Fortune.
very realistic drug dealer portrayal. everyone knows the drug dealers are east coast working class accent white guys.
That final statement is true. I felt it when my first son was born; it was that knowledge that I would be willing to do ANYTHING for him, even to die for him. I never expected to hear that sentiment in a movie.
Clayne Crawford is criminally underrated.
Yeah when they kicked him off Lethal Weapon the series went downhill.
I thought he was annoying as hell
Really? This is complete over acting but sO uNdeRraTeD lol
@@LumpyAdams they just said they like the actor you dont need to start crying
No truer words have been spoken about a REAL father’s love and his will to protect his children at any cost.
Tommy always chooses important roles. “In the Electric Mist,” “In the Valley of Eli,” and “The Three Buriels of Melquiades Estrada” to name just 3 essential masterpieces.
That was a lovely speech at the end. I'm one of the many kids whos father didn't feel that way, but i understand the sentiment.
I am getting old now and don't fear death like I used to, not so hard to imagine laying down my life for my kids and their children.
I know Sir, I literally am dying. Heart disease. It's sad and liberating. People who know me are scared and sad. My children know this and try to shield me from making someone famous!😂😂😂
that ending monologue was the most powerful thing ive ever heard.
One of the best short films I have ever seen.
Best scene ever. Best writing ever. What did you do pop?
No decent jury would convict him. I can even see a DA stating there was no public interest in him facing trial. Justice has already been served.
That is not the way the justice system works.
Maybe it should, but it doesn't.
@@DH-rj2kvit can work that way. And has before even recently. Would really just depend on the jury, and if any defense would be taken up by the state
@@DH-rj2kv maybe depends on where it happen. Back in the 80's a dad shot his son's kidnapper in the head as he was being escorted by the police through an airport. I believe it was in Louisiana and basically he got a slap on the wrist.
@@john20239
But that was in fact after the crime, not a preemptive strike. And he did not also kill some other people at the scene. (Pretty lucky actually, he could easily have injured or killed the police officer walking next to the man he shot).
Don't get me wrong, I would do just as in the video, but I have no illusions about the legality or consequences of it.
@@DH-rj2kv Ray has a terminal illness so he’s a goner anyways. So he probably wouldn’t make it to trial or he be unfit to stand trial.
One of the worst things a person can deal with is a person who feels they ain't got nothing to lose. The father felt that way if his boy was gonna be killed. Never mess with a person who has nothing to lose, because you will!
What hurts is when you are growing up and you are looking up to your father and he never looks down and sees you. I am the middle child. One older brother and one younger sister. I had a birth defect and had to have open heart surgery when I was 6 years old. My mom had to threaten him to get him to come to the hospital on the day I was operated on. He went out drinking the night before the surgery. I wish I had a father like this. He died of cancer. He asked my mom why I wasn't coming around more to see him. She said why should he. I don't think he understood. I cried for about a minute at the funeral home. And I think the reason I did was because I would never have a father like this one.
You are not alone.our parents put all of us in boarding school.
Wow, what a cast, what a scene!! Phenomenal work!
This scene reminds me of my late Father. I love you dad! Jesus Oracio Garza (11/29/52-10/26/23)
There’s no bigger love than the love of a child. I love my parents and i’ve known them for more than 3 decades. I love my wife too and i’ve known her for more than 1 decade. But the love that I feel towards my son it’s just on another level. I guess it’s a natural thing. I will never forget when my mother said “I love your father but what I feel for you, my son, it’s another thing”.
My Dad took a different approach. He told me that he loves me more than almost anything, but that he loves my Mom just a little bit more, so don't ever try to break them down or turn them against each other, because they will always be a team and a unified front. He put me in my place, and I was totally cool with it. I thought he was right to say it at the time (I was about 5 years old), and I still agree with his stance.
They say fear the man with nothing to lose but never underestimate a man with everything to lose
Great line at the end…powerful writing!
Beautful scene. Brought tears. 👍👍👍
This trope has been done so many times it just feels like comedy now
