"I was right here the whole time, none of you could see me." breaks my heart every time.
That line has such deep meaning, especially in this episode. The viewing, as sad as it is, is supposed to be about Nellie. Sadly, the others let their arguments, personal drama, and pettiness overshadow the reasons they are there. Only when her coffin falls from the table are they snapped back to the moment of what has happened and where they are. Nellie, she just wanted them together as a family, but they couldn't even manage that. "I was right here the whole time, none of you could see me."
Episode 9s last line is also heart breaking
@@MISTERBABAD00K also means that in most cases of mental illness, family members overlooked the "signs" when one of them needed some help and don't "see" them. Just like Nell reaching out to them multiple times when she was still alive.
That's one of the saddest moment on screen. That and "No parent should have to bury their child."
The way Bent Neck Lady goes from terrifying to sad is one of the greatest executions of tone shift in modern film history. Flanagan is actually a master.
Mike Flanagan in each of his series usually has one big long take where they don't do any cuts and all of the actors prep for it. This is the episode for Hill House. Most of the funeral home scenes didn't have any cuts and were done in one take. The longest going for 17 minutes long. Outside of the cuts to the Hill House flashbacks, it was done in 5 long takes. It's pretty amazing film making and is a credit to how good his casts are in his shows. Netflix even did a little video about it you can find on YT.
I also remember there was an interview with Flanagan where he said he was worried about the child actors being able to remember all their lines for the long takes, and he said something like (and I'm paraphrasing) 'turns out, I didn't need to be worried at all, because all the children had their lines memorized better than the adults' lol
To be fair to Steve, he has a lot of anger and grief he hasn't dealt with and was unable to deal with because his dad never told him the full story of what had happened to his mum. (understandably so, but Steve doesnt know that). As far as he knows his mum was ill, and his dad who he had idolised hadn't got her help. As the eldest, he feels a responsibility to protect the others and that's what he's desperately trying to do, even if it comes over as coldness. I know most people find Steve to be their least liked of the siblings, but I can relate to him so much I just can't dislike him even if he does make poor choices
Very much agreed! In this particular episode!
Glad to know someone sees more than just annoyance! A lot of people attack him but you can really see the anger and grief, especially during the last episodes… I have to admit he was one of my favorite siblings because maybe, like you, I could relate to him
I also appreciate that others see Steve in a more compassionate light. He’s definitely not perfect but none of them are. They are all dealing with trauma and they all hurt each other along the way but ultimately love one another.
I started the show hating Steve, but by the end he was my favorite character. 🖤
He's the one I relate to most. Its easy to see why people might not like him however I think he's very flawed but realistic. He was just never able to come to peace with what happened to his mum and it festered and never healed
Being a big theatre fan, I love this episode. The sense of tragic family reunion is so intimate. As a viewer, you really feel like you’re there in moment with them.
Gotta admit, I figured the two of you would get so involved in the plot of this episode that you would miss Nellie in the background and the statue’s head moving. Delighted to be wrong.
Keep the reactions coming!
This episode in particular is a masterpiece. The choreography is insane. The longest one take scene is 17 minutes long. There are I think 4 cuts in the entire episode.
To be fair, the last several minutes drop the long takes entirely and are made up of multiple cuts like "normal".
"So the ep is 53:38. About 51:00 is comprised of 5 shots. Shot 1 length: 14:19; Shot 2: 7:25; Shot 3: 17:19; Shot 4: 6:13; Shot 5: 5:31" (Mike Flanagan)
Can I just say I really appreciate how emotionally invested you both are, and how you’re paying attention to the details, genuinely watching the show, many reactors talk over content and don’t really experience it.
I just LOVE the fact that they built the sets back to back, planning for one transition scene in this episode. That is how amazing Mike Flanagan is. Ugh, I just can’t get over not only this show but most of his work.
Great eyes in catching the statue moving positions. Ive watched a lot of reactions to this show and yall are one of the very fee to catch it
very fee
This is one of my favourite episodes of all Netflix-series shows. It works so well at this point in the story after we've gotten to know the family one by one. The single shot performance really adds to it too.
Kate Siegal (Theo) is just so good. That fall at the couch wasn't planned, she just rolled with it in the moment for the scene.
a lot people dont like steve but maybe if we're in his situation.... we'll be that angry too. imagine your mom is a beautiful, gentle and caring woman and you love her so, so much she's your entire world. then she's suddenly change, looks like she's sick, she acts weird, which leads to her taking her own life. as a kid we dont understand things, so dad, the only parent you have left is the only person you can ask questions, he's supposed to answer it clearly (like how theo told shirly what to say to her kids if they're asking about nell's death). but hugh never answer, never give them the explanation they deserve, so THESE KIDS NEVER HAVE A CLOSURE. they keep wondering why, how, whats actually happen to mom? that must've been so hard and painful for them as kids, losing their beloved mother in that way and the only adult that they trust just stay silent.
so yeah, if i were steve, maybe i'd be that angry too.
One of the greatest episodes of television ever, and one of the best series. I cry at the end every single time.
when the father walks in and the camera pans around and through his eyes, the kids are all still little. And then he walks up the casket and it's Baby Nellie. Fucking kills me.
Perfect. People say that long takes in movies and television are showing off, and take viewers out of scenes to say "look at how cool we are". Sometimes it's like that, but not in this episode. You both felt everything this technique was there to accomplish - the building of an atmosphere, the ramping up of tension, the weight and thrill of actors performing together live - while never being distracted by the technique itself.
Two Storms is one of my favourite episodes of TV ever. The endless camera shot makes it feel like a play.
“None of you could see me…Nobody could see me”. The last look on adult Luke’s face, and the way the little Nell actress delivers that line…waterworks every time. 😭😭
The buttons on Nell's eyes are the same two buttons that represented Nell and Mom in Luke's button counting game, the one he played as a kid to keep the family safe.
I think most people who watch the show has that one sibling in the group that they connect the most to, feel the most for - for me, that's Nellie. Poor, sweet Nellie who just wanted good things for her family, and to be seen and believed. 💔
Honestly till this day the only ghost story/horror series that made me bawl
Not haunting of Bly manor or Midnight Mass? Both of those destroyed me. Mike Flanagan is a genius.
@@prescottperfection6354 oh I did cry on Bly Manor but not as much as Hill House. And I haven't finished Midnight Mass for Idk what reason
@@N_neviesomnie that’s fair. I won’t spoil midnight mass for you but it made me cry the most out of all his shows. Definitely recommend finishing it if you get the chance!
Fun fact, there's basically a ghost always in the background if u ever notice them
The buttons over Nell's eyes might refer to the custom of placing a coin over each eyelid of the deceased. The reasons for this can vary, but in Ancient Greece it was believed that the coins would be used to pay the toll demanded by Charon, the Ferryman of the river Styx, which separates the land of the living from the land of the dead.
A masterful episode, with fantastic long takes. Keep in mind that two of the actors were only six years old when this was shot! Just amazing - and it hits on an emotional level as well!
This episode captures such a powerful idea: that many ghost stories, at their core, are really just tragedies. Lives cut off unexpectedly, unfinished business, unresolved feelings. Heartbreak that can't be healed, because it's already too late to fix things.
Heartbreak remains no matter what, and the challenge is dealing with loss and regret and all that. It's never too late, even in the afterlife, nothing is ever too late. Just has to be lived with and made peace with.
Been loving your reactions. The Bent Neck Lady and Haunting was such a good show.
This show is so sad I can only rewatch it every couple of years. It just hurts too much.
The part where young Nellie is spinning around wandering into the creepy room with the statues directly mirrors her adult self dancing alone in the empty house before her death
You were right, the statue's head turned when it cut
watching this out in public was such a bad idea 😢 no matter times I see the ending of this ep it never fails to make me cry or at least tear up
It was KILING me how close you both got to noticing the single take so many times throughout the first half of the episode 😂😂😂 “it feels like…theatre” “the camera is spinning around” “its like the camera is following one person”. That’s why this is one of my favourite episodes ever cos that single shot feeling just creeps up on you the first time you watch it
Whole episode is like 6-8 long shots. Just amazing.
The work done of this episode is absolutely amazing and unforgettable.
Nell has got to be one of the most pure hearted tv character’s of all time , she was so kind and loving and she loved her family so much.
It kinda make’s sense why Hill house huanted her for so long and then eventually killed her cause she was the most pure one in her family , the house probably like’s to feed on the most innocent one’s soul’s.
That’s my theory why the twins experienced more things overall, youngest children purest souls, and the older kids didn’t believe
One of my favorite reactors said the authors of this "Are never seeing Heaven."
This whole episode was about six or seven takes. The whole thing.
There are many, many secrets to be revealed and questions to be answered.
This episode (especially coming off of 5) is pure perfection. But get ready bc 8, 9, and 10 are a wild ride.
Makes sense why kiss is so dramatic...she's the younger one
And I love her for it. I've never been very emotive so there's something vicarious there that I can appreciate in the way she responds to things.
When you've gotten through the whole show, you NEED to watch a compilation video of all the ghosts and background shenanigans. Some of it is so obvious that you won't believe you missed it. I didn't know I was supposed to be checking the background the first time I watched it and somehow missed every single ghost and moving statue.
idk if you noticed but the first 20 minutes is a one shot scene . First cut is when stevie talks to luke in the hills house then it cuts to the funeral. Its pretty impressive. like when the dad comes in the funeral home and sees the child, the grown ups were probly hidden behind the couches. This episode is just perfect.
Probably my favourite episode of any TV show.
This is such a wild episode, so well done. Your reactions are so good, you two are so fun and entertaining. Loving everything you are uploading! :)
8:17 That was the Bent-Neck Lady, aka Nell.
Awesome reaction ladies! I've been really enjoying these. It's a shame this show isn't getting as many views as your others since I think this show is a masterpiece and you're both the perfect reactors for it.
This show and this episode in particular should have won all the awards. Just brilliant film making. Seeing the BTS of how much effort and technical skill went into this episode is the reason I started watching the series.
Really enjoying you both watching this!
Man this episode is just brilliant. The camera work is incredible when it circles the whole family arguing with glimpses of Nell's casket in the background. It keeps you on edge because the tension is rising and you wonder if something's going to happen. Then that last few mins of the ep just BROKE me.
I hope you guys continue with The Haunting of Bly Manor. Same cast, all new set of characters they play, another great well written character driven horror-thriller 🙌🏾
This is probably the best and most heartbreaking episode 😢❤
last scene is may favorite scene. it went thriller to sadness
This reaction dropping made my day. Such a good episode!
I recommend you capture this terrifying sound and sell it to the creators of this drama series so they can use it in the future. 17:44
This episode was actual genius! The way for the first like twenty minutes it was just one shot and all the while managing to build the emotional states. I mean, like you said, it feels real. Like a real ebb and flow of a fight in the family. Oh and the comment of getting the whole family together and she didn't have to try this hard. I mean apparently she did! 'I was screaming and nobody even looked!' That line hits so hard every time.
That's such a fantastic piece of drama.
even though i don't like scary films, rewatched this film multiple times because it's so deep and well-written. your theories at the end was very interesting as well! can't wait to see your reaction to ep 8.
I was right here... but none of you could see me. 😭😭😭
17:29 - "KARISSA!!" Let her scream, this series was creepy af 😂
If this series doesn't make someone cry at least once, I'm actually a little worried about them. Some parts of this are too much like life
best episode of the series period :)
5-10 are all so solid. 6 is the best as far as direction. Thats endless track shots. Just so well done.
Awesome reaction.
You two are the best.
Consider reacting to the tv series Fringe, 5 seasons, great show
I was right here...
You are really smarticles, Haylo. lol
one thing that i find soo funny.. most women get mad with steve lol.. i honestly duno why.. every1 else gets a pass with all their MUCH BIGGER mistakes and flaws lol
i wonder if it is, in fact, because ppl usually dont know how a more skeptical person lives through all that nad for that reason they dont connect with that character quite as much. curious.
I think its because he feels the most combative to the family. I personally love his character but hes the one who goes against his family the most.
Shirelys is combative but mostly just to steve so some people arent as bothered about that. Theo is a mess and kind of rude but shes cool and also doesnt really argue with family. Nell for obvious reasons is hard to dislike and is selfless especially when it comes to family. And luke really hurt his family members but we feel for him so much in his episode that it is hard to dislike him (also the only time they actually show him hurting people is the scene with Nell)
The skeptical thing comes in too. Viewers who believe in the supernatural in real life struggle to connect with steve as hes the most outwardly abrasive to the idea of the supernatural
Please consider doing a series reaction to Blue Eye Samurai
Do the haunting of bly manor next!!!
No. It wasn't good. Midnight mass is best
@@nikelmaharjan6755 actually it was good not the best but was good
Whole episode had Like 4 cuts in total
This episode has only five uninterrupted shots. Each one about 17 minutes each.
I hope you two watch a reveal after the season to see how many ghosts you missed seeing during the show! THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!
No one could see me 😢
nobody could see me
You seem to have finally understood it when you say that Nelly's appearance makes you sad rather than scared. Congratulations, that's the point. And as you have correctly remembered what the Mother says, the ghosts are not there to hurt them.
If you've been paying attention, you'll have noticed that every time her family argues, Nelly intervenes or tries to intervene. She's trying to make herself noticed. She turns off the light and the coffin falls down as well. But as she had been all her life, she was not taken seriously or overlooked. And "nobody can see me"
Furthermore, you seems to have forgotten that Theo is a lesbian. So you can assume that it wasn't what it looked like with Shirley's husband. And she was drunk.
I was reading this and going, yeah I know all this over time, then that last part about Theo, man, just....hold on, it never occurred to me until now, here! It's like so much was going on, that it might've been, and I not once thought, oh wait, she's into girls, not guys. Just never dawned on me until now...
The inversion of “traditional” familial roles is a good dramatic turn. Of the kids, the youngest - and a recovering addict to boot - comes off as the most level-headed, and Theo is at least drunkenly honest and direct (and honest about her drunkenness), while the oldest siblings are just trash fires of self-righteousness. Dad’s still dad’ing, though, to the point of self-effacement.
What the show does well, tho, is making you feel bad for all of them - just, y’know, some of them make it harder at times.
And good on Kevin to admit to taking the money. One of the others (cough Steve cough) probably would have said it if Kevin hadn’t, so not a lot of choice, but at least he came clean
i was your 666th comment
Plz watch Alice in borderland, A killer paradox👌👌👌👍👍👍
One more y’all and we get the best scare on a screen.
I’d also be remised to not mention the epic 1 shot
They have seen on patreon thankfully and not been spoiled, so kudos l!
who cares about the long shot that opens the show? Big deal.
I feel like this is the most... I don't know, I guess disconnected episode. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad and it belongs here, but it very much feels more realistic in a way that breaks the immersion from the other episodes. Like, you're sucked into the story in the other episodes and then this one pulls you out a bit and makes you feel very much like you're observing the events rather than living them. There are very large portions of the episode that are done in one shot, there's not a lot of music playing, all of that gives it a sort of jarring feel compared to the rest of the episodes. Because of this, I feel like this is my least favorite episode (but keep in mind, least favorite out of a bucket of nothing but amazing is still amazing).
Isn't that what it would be like for so many, that they're there but not really there because it's almost unfathomable that one would be gone or taken away so suddenly? That's my takeaway. It's a funeral, a human event. It's almost kinda visceral but interior kind of visceral. It couldn't have been "nicely" filmed.
@@genghisgalahad8465 oh yeah, don't get me wrong, it's definitely done correctly, but it's still my least favorite because of it XD
@PeterDB90 I dunno. I don't have a "least" favorite episode (just so I can be different) when it's overall one continuing story. It's a funeral. I don't know one that isn't a pause in life or in stories. Everything stops at a funeral, no matter what story it's in. Looking back is often done at funerals. Nobody's thinking so much of their plans the next day or whatnot. Only looking back. It's my best episode. I mean, real life funerals put people together who regularly wouldn't be normally. It's even stated later on in the next. You get your "back to action" after the wake, which this was. I realized it was the wake before the funeral. And in that regard, they're the things people want to do the "least" if at all. And nobody normally wants to as human beings. And yet the story is being told of what happened. It's kinda like the common criticism of a Walking Dead "slow" "filler" character focused episode. It's that kinda vibe, your comment. You're pretty clear about it, so there's no getting you wrong. You know? Who wants a wake? Not many people, if any.
@@genghisgalahad8465
Then I fall into that "majority" category of people who find it uncomfortable so they have a desire to avoid it, even in fictional stories - this is why it's my least favorite, not because it doesn't have enough progression or action, but because the episode just makes me feel uncomfortable. Even the acting changes to feeling almost improvisational (no doubt in part the result of long camera takes), so there's something almost uncanny about this episode that transcends the usual "horror" that you see in the show.
You guys are so close to getting 100k congrats
