I saw a comment once from a Vietnamese immigrant who had a similar relationship with their old white veteran neighbor growing up. From a rough start then mentorship, they turned into best friends.
I definitely wish I could watch a few more movies with my pops (RIP) -- we didn't watch too many after I grew up, but when I was a kid we watched movies together all the time. I miss those days.
It wasn't until the end of his life that he found the family he cared about so much. The two "children" he is absolutely proud of, who don't want any money from him and who are absolutely worried when they notice the blood in the handkerchief. A different culture where he can finally leave his Korean War influence behind him. Now the ending and how it happens makes sense to him because it prevents the young criminal types from getting hold of the young man. He doesn't just lie in bed to wait for his death, but he can actively intervene to give the future lives of the two "children" a meaningful jump-start. The pride in both of them and the insights into their culture is once again an outstanding experience. The “new” Walt would have been a great father. A brilliant film with outstanding actors.
@@Kenny-ep2nf Yes, prevent all mistakes and omissions when raising and living with your own children. Many deficiencies in people arise from the “upbringing” of incompetent parents or parents.
I always appreciated this film when it came to Walt's confession because he refused to speak on the acts he committed during the war as he was convinced that they were unspeakable not worthy of forgiveness. It adds a whole layer to his character and who he is within the movie than a version who would confess their actions expecting salvation of any sort. He only confessed to acts he felt that could be forgiven from a place of remorse; not to say that he didn't clearly have remorse for his actions during the war but rather he wished he was a better man beyond and because of it. Walt's salvation from his acts in the war was sacrificing himself for Thao and his family to live in peace. Thank you both again for having the most interesting and worthwhile film reactions on UA-cam!
As Walt said, "it's awful to kill. You don't want that on your soul." He knew he didn't have long to live due to disease, but justice was needed. Plenty of witnesses, multiple gunmen go to prison, probably for life, and a menace to the neighborhood, especially Tau and Sue is eliminated. Great story, character arc and acting from mostly non-professional actors. Great all around.
your pa has turkish vibes. and i'm not talking about religion or things, the way he lays down and gets straight in some moments, cigarette in his hand all the time, and all the wise comments in unexpected situations. even though you are from north africa and us from western asia, it seems so familiar. cheers to both of you.
I think there are men like that in all countries of the world. Wise, experienced, family men who have seen a lot and have a lot of wisdom to share, and just want to relax and enjoy the finer things in life.
This is a special movie. I first saw it in 2010 and I cried my heart out. I've seen it dozens times and it still gives me chills. When your dad talked at the end he made me tear up. He's on the other side of the planet, yet we recognize the same exact points your dad is just like me in the way that he interprets the movie and the layers of deep meaning in the movie. Please don't interrupt your dad when he is speaking. Its disrespectful and I want to hear what he is saying.
This movie is stupendous storytelling. There's another movie by Mr Eastwood in November called "Juror #2." It looks thrilling. The teenage boy walking the neighbor girl home is Clint's son.
The Hmong grandmother who spits out a voluminous amount was chewing on leaves similar to tobacco. It's not tobacco but I forget the name but it produces a reddish brown color liquid when chewed.
As it relates to the statement "The girls go to college and the boys go to jail", there are plenty of areas like that throughout the US but I wouldn't classify it as normal. Like most places globally, it's in the poorest areas in the cities and a fair amount of the poor rural areas. School taxes are largely funded locally in a lot of places so the poorer areas that have lower tax revenue tend to have poorly funded schools, lower graduation rates, higher crime, and far fewer good economic and decent secondary school opportunities. About 37 out of 333 million americans are considered below the poverty line, or about 11% of the population. So it is significant, even if not typical. All this leads to more illegal activities to try to make quick money and time in and out of jail and on probation. People get caught in generational poverty cycles usually because of time in and out of the system that prevents them from ever really digging out of a hole.
Clint Eastwood’s oldest son Kyle is a jazz bassist and composer. I believe he’s composed on 9 of Clint’s films, and two or three others. Clint Eastwood is a jazz pianist, believed to have composed on at least 77 times in films. He’s also played Carnegie Hall as a pianist.
23:08 - They're not doing "all the work". They're showing gratitude and honor to him, why? He just challenged the gang to stop their non-sense in the "Get off my lawn" scene. That's the "work" that no one else in the neighborhood had the spine to do. Including Hmong neighbors.
You are the second channel I see reviewing the movie this year. I remember when I rented it, then I rented it again to watch with my dad. I need to buy the hardcopy.
Somebody highly recommended this movie to my Dad to watch as the person how recommended it said to my Dad Derek, Clint Eastwoods character in this film is 98% you I hadn't seen it until Dad recommended me to watch it and both him and I absolutely agree his character is my dad's spirit animal swear to god I can't unsee my dad whenever I watch the film now 😂. I don't think the line is in this reaction, but the line clint says about his sons wife going through your mother's jewellery hits hard with me personally as my dad's family did that exact same thing the moment his mother died 😢 till this day he hasn't spoken to them since as what a selfish thing to do
Good film and another good reaction another movie about a grumpy old man y'all should watch is "Fences" starring Denzel Washington. I'd love to see you both react to that as father and son.
Korean War: one aspect that was different than most other wars. Was when China sent reinforcements by the hundreds of thousands. With no weapons. A wall of meat. And the question was if the U.S. soldiers could keep up with ammunition vs. the bodies being thrown at them. A very disturbing situation. Korean War is still technically an active war. So much of its history is still under classified designation.
Good movie, good reaction. U 2 are great, I think your dad really liked the movie. More good reactions to good movies. At some point u gotta do Black Mirror, Sopranos, The Wire. But these are long format, tv shows.
The food is being eaten at a 'Wake" which is separate from the funeral ceremony/church. usually at the family home. This is the Catholic way. Not sure about Protestants
I just spent like 5 hours watching reactions to this movie a few days ago. Then this pops up and I quickly hit watch. Hope yall enjoyed it! EDIT: I enjoyed hearing you guys' perspective. And your dad lighting up smokes reminds me of how my dad used to be, lol. Subscribed
It is a good movie, the message is pure however, i think in reality that gang would have shot up his house instead of Taos house. The temptation would have been too much for their fragile egos to resist.
Great reaction! It is very interesting to see your joint detailed reaction to the film Robocop 1987. This is a cool classic movie 🦾🤖🔥 Do you have any plans to do it?

Hmong. They are Hmong. I grew up with them in Wisconsin
@@efjefe Hmong were not the only refugees to flee Vietnam. I'm only using the description they personally used.
Amazing
One of the best character development movies ever.🤩
Always dig watching you and pops doing this together. Cherish it brother
Lol, just said the same

Yep more than his own kids

Plus, Walt's outstretched arms is a clear symbolic reference to Christ's death on the cross. Catholic symbolism in sacrificial act for others.

Btw the silly white boy who acted like he was black is actually Clint's Eastwood son irl so cheers for the dad to put his own son in such a silly role
U ever considered the same way it’s demeaning to call black guys “boy”, it’s also demeaning to call a white man “boy”.
@@HarryTheMick Lol are you being serious??
Glad you are making your reaction videos last longer. I like watching them with you guys.
Yes. I noticed that, too.

I think pops is gonna love that movie. Eastwood killed this role

Love your Dad’s reactions. We think alike.
i adore this movie. it's not what i thought it was gonna be, but it's precisely what i needed when i saw it
Pops is awesome, cherish him dude, respect
Great reaction guys and I enjoy your conservations!.
Love you guys' relationship.
Egyptian Dad for President! Love you guys.
A very good movie with Clint Eastwood is Heartbreak Ridge from 1986
2nd best actor.
Mel Gibsons emotions and facial expressions are unbeatable.
Soldier movie aye
I would like to recommend a Korean movie (Gift from Room 7)
Thanks for reacting to this masterpiece guys

Thats how men talk, notice your dad didnt say it was dumb

Betal nut. 🌰
betel nut
@@WakeMeSoon Yes! Thank you!!!
My brain was drawing a blank. 😆
14:20 That's Clint Eastwoods real life son. 😂
And his real life dog😊
"Don't put a big gay. If you can refrain from doing so." Such a lovely edit lol
Eastwood is the greatest American actor/director of all time
I agree
Eh, that's debatable.
Holy crap you pops is like every Arab man family member at Thanksgiving. So many memories of childhood. Except they all loved Chicago Bears. Packers!
Great reaction Guys
Great reaction to a great move guys👍

Sorry guys but when Walt took the dog in the porch. I cried like a man.
Great movie
many parallels with what migration is doing to europe nowadays

Hi guys
Old schoolers are just honest and young Generations can't take it they're too soft
No,he's older. He fought in the Korean War.
It is a good movie, the message is pure however, i think in reality that gang would have shot up his house instead of Taos house. The temptation would have been too much for their fragile egos to resist.
Editing is too choppy. Let them at least finish a sentence.
Could you please consider mic'ing your dad. It is difficult to hear him
I hear him perfectly and I watch via phone, no headphones.
@@formatique_arschloch I also am watching on a phone without headphones.
And nobody asked YOU.
@@philmakris8507 Wow, you must be a very liked person.
I really wanted to watch this but the audio stopped me.
What are you talking about Vietnam he was in the Korean War completely different countries
what does ur dad smoke? looks good
the son talks too much without saying anything useful.
Good movie. Movie needs to be a little bigger on screen, you guys smaller.
Great reaction! It is very interesting to see your joint detailed reaction to the film Robocop 1987. This is a cool classic movie 🦾🤖🔥
Do you have any plans to do it?
Support this suggestion🔥🔥🔥Robocop is an amazing movie. I would really like to see your reaction to this film. The Great Classics!
