Interesting and very good video. Keep up the good work. I have also watched a few reaction videos before, yet at the same time I found them to be a very lazy content style and at times rather cringe. I did however find myself looking to see if people felt the same emotions as me when watching a certain scene from a movie. Two movies that I've watched reactions are 'Last of the Mohicans' and 'American History X'. Both films with quite highly charged emotional scenes. For example in 'American History X', before Derek (Edward Norton's character) leaves prison, he has a small chat with his friend, who will remain in prison and that to for a far lesser crime and they fist bump each other . Derek's friend also helped him alot. This scene made me feel quite sad. Ultimately, I watched a few reactions and 3 out of 9 had a similar reaction to me. For some reason, made me like the person giving the same reaction as me. Anyway I felt like writing this message. Keep up the good work and I'm intrigued to see which type of films you review later on. Stay healthy!
@@1975sabu Thank you for this comment and stopping by I'm glad you enjoyed it too. I know what you mean, how some films are almost a barometer for our wider taste. So with your American History X example, how someone reacts to certain scenes in that can tell you a lot about the person reacting.
Agreed, there is alot of ingenious channels out there, i am remember a you-tuber that thinks Ozu’s Late Spring is the greatest film ever, but did a review of Police academy 3 and called it great!
@@heartofcinema3454 They both make my top ten! 😆 just kidding, I haven't seen Police Academy 3 ha. I guess it depends on what their reasons were for liking them I suppose. I think there's a world where you can like both though!
@@reel_reflections true, but when they like everything they watch equally, it tells you something. Btw, saw "Starve Acre" today, have you checked it out, it kept me engaged throughout.
Great video lad and such an interesting topic to bring up. I am definitely in the boat of content creators who don't look to fondly on reactors as it it the laziest form of content. I could never believe the reactors that say first time reaction because when you watch their video they catch a lot of thing that you wouldn't catch on the first watch. They seem to remember everything on the first time watch. Also, i never could comprehend how all these people who saw 5 films in their lives want to react to hundreds of them all of a sudden. Of course the reason is for views and I don't begrudge that. I get it. A lot of these reactors don't make much from UA-cam due to monetisation issues and on top of that they have the looming threats of copyright strikes. They make most of their money from patreon or similar sites where people essentially pay to suggest films and access full length reactions or show up on the end screen or get their name read out. This is how reactors make most of their money. The big ones have thousands of patrons. Also these videos are just reactions and no end thoughts most of the time. That really bugs as they have a chance to add some input from their own brain but don't. It's really just lazy content. Another problem is that surely if you cared about seeing these films for the first time and enjoying them, you'd do so comfortably and not while being recorded, knowing you have to talk and react. I don't know about you but if I'm watching alone i don't say a single word and i don't want to miss things. So I'm expected to believe that a reactor watching for the first time while talking over somehow keeps up with the plot and knows enough about it to comment. That's hard to believe. Who knows what the future of reaction channels are. I don't think UA-cam likes them very much as they're hard to monetize and make their revenue mostly off UA-cam. These are my rambling thoughts. Awesome video reel.
I forgot to say that I've noticed once these reactions channels have watched the majority of popular films that enough people care to watch reactions to, they move onto tv shows which is good for them as they're longer content that they can stretch more videos out. It's only a matter of time before reaction channels eventually can't maintain their patterns because of reacting to everything that gets views. They may eventually die out.
Also, the fact that most reaction channels only react to horror in October proves your point on reactors being chained to reacting to trendy and popular films. This is why they do recent releases as soon as they can. Finally, since reactors show the film in the corner of their videos, are we expected to believe they all buy the film and get that footage ethically. I think not.
@@DOUBLEA1 cheers for the comments and insight DoubleA, yeah you make some good points I forgot to mention. How reactors watch other reactors I imagine, it must mean they stumble upon stuff and see it before they react to it? There's plenty of areas to suspect the sincerity of such channels.
Great video champ. Very informative. your a very good speaker and interesting to listen too. Erm .... I must say im not a big fan of reaction channels in all honesty, sure I've seen my fair share of viewing reactions, of films and music, mostly music though, but like you say they just sit there and ... Do nothing 😂😐. Also ive notice the same film thing ...i mean ... Its as if all reaction channels are watching everyone else to pick up what there watching to see if it will get traction, which im boy a fan of.... Ive seen films reactors where say .... The film.... "Taken" which is great, say someone reacts to that today, and they had a lot of views, ill guarantee withing a month there would be numerous channels reactiong the that film. Ive also seen "fake" reactors, where there reacting comes across very forced and just fake, also when they say "first time watch" and let's say .... There watching a comedy thats funny and a funny acene is about to come up, some are almost about to laugh before that funny part and im thinking "i thought you hadnt seen it" "so how did you know there was going to be a funny part?" Even when the funny scene hasnt been built up. And some reactors when there's a funny scene some make a fake laugh, i know everyone finds different things funny which is cool, but .... Theres many who do forced laughter ... Theres a guy in america who reacts to british tv comedies "us british telly comedy is the best though i say so myself 😂" but he laughs like every 5seconds, exrremely loudly and forced, and i cant watch them. But when they say "first time watch" for a film . Or "first time listen" to a song i dont always believe them, which can be easy to spot by there expressions. I dont really watch reaction channels now, and i never watch them a lot but i have seen my fair share, and occasionally i like to see the odd reaction of some music i like as my music taste would be clast as " old fashioned " 😂 i prefer to call it "good taste" 😂 and to see how others react to the "older" music. Great video again though champ.
Thank you for the compliments mate, means a lot! Yeah exactly, it is hard to determine what is genuine or not at at times. I think that is what bothers a lot of people. And like I say in the vid most reactors seem to like everything through fear of losing their audience I suspect.
@@stuartgeorge2324 Hi Stuart! Glad to see you're doing so well with the channel, keep it up! 🙂 Yeah ultimately I think they do more 'harm' than good say, and I've tried to objectively explain their appeal but I think it's because they appeal to emotions more. The reality TV of UA-cam content perhaps..
@@stuartgeorge2324 I find it more boggling how people have the passion to watch loads of movies in their spare time (or for a living) but hasn't yet seen any of the popular ones!
@@reel_reflections they have seem um mate they ain't kidding me , but I haven't seen everything on the planet , buts it's normally films like jaws SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION pulp fiction etc
