Colette, my sympathies. My brothers and I took our dad to see this in the theater. We needed a break from taking care of mom. She had dementia and my sister took care of her that day. This movie was just so heartbreaking, as we saw mom in Charles. Mom passed away three years ago. We are now taking care of dad…
Dementia and Alzheimers are horrible, my Step Grandma passed earlier this year and towards the end she'd forget me and would say she only had real grandkids not any step Grandchildren, and she'd forget my Step Grandpa was dead and would ask to see him
Cried for iron man? That's insane, crying for a character that we knew would die to create a false sense of emotions. His death was more pointless than Pa Kent in Man of Steel but recieves zero backlash because it's the goofy comedic MCU. On the contrary this death although inevitable was handled masterfully by the script writers and director.
@@TonySoto-uz5veyou clearly don't know what you're talking about and nice try trying to blame humor for people's reaction towards his death that in of itself makes no sense
The adamantium poisoning him is a real thing from the comics. His healing factor has to fight off the poison regularly, and he actually heals faster without them.
“What’s her gift, eating? Pipe throwing?” Never fails to get a chuckle out of me 😂 Also in case anyone who doesn’t speak spanish is wondering, she basically says “why would I talk to you when all you do is yell at me, insult me, and try to leave me behind” when she’s yelling at him in the car after he asks her why she’s been quiet this whole time.
That line I think shows he still has the wolverine attitude, snarky and impertinent, the same way He was when He first met Xavier and the X-men years back. It reminds me of what Logan said to him "What do they call you, wheels?" lmao
The saddest part of the nice family dying is realizing its Charles' fault. Logan wanted to keep going from the moment they helped with the horses but Charles agrees for them to have dinner and then again says 'we can leave in the morning'....
Logan got mad when he read that business card because it said *Alkali* Transigen. If you recall from X2, Alkali Lake is where Stryker and the Weapon X program grafted the adamantium to his bones. So Logan knew immediately that it was the Weapon X program all over again but hiding under a different name, and his past had once again come back to haunt him.
This movie was dark and it was sad to see Logan and Charles like that. The girl that plays Laura was amazing and she endeared the character to the fans. With the sale of Fox they didnt follow through and make a movie with her as X-23. I have heard rumors she might come back and I hope she does, she was great.
She is the apprentice in star wars acolyte and prob the best thing about that show. And yes she is in deadpool and wolverine and has her comic book suit it looks amazing
Let me make it darker for you. The Logan in this film is the one that went to the past in Xmen days of future past to stop the future where mutants are eliminated by trask. So hes actually depressed an recluse in the first place, as despite everything he did to change that, everyone is still dead
I went to the theaters twice to watch this masterpiece, the first time with my ex girlfriend but I knew I had to take my father to watch with me. He's always been a fan of these kinds of movies and western vibes, but now that my father is gone I just feel closer to this movie. I was only able to rewatch it once, I had to introduce this movie to my wife.
@12:40 my mother (70) took care of her sister (80) when she developed dementia, her sister constantly abused her verbally and even lashed out physically at my mom, but mom stuck by her right up until her sister died the following year. At the funeral mom was very upset, 1) because her sister had just died, but 2) mom was upset at herself because she felt relief that her sister finally found peace and both of them did not have to go thru the suffering anymore. It was then i realized how hard it must have been for mom over the past year, and i made a solemn promise to myself to be there for her in the same way if she ever became a victim of dementia.... i just pray i am as strong as her.
In The Wolverine movie, the mutant who could see how people die said Logan would die covered in blood with his heart in his hand. He dies in this movie holding Laura’s hand😢
This is a beautiful example of a Western genre translated to a superhero film. And I love both film types so much. What a poetic and powerful film. Great reaction 👏🏾!
Two things. 1: the scene with the horses is heartbreaking to me because its a reminder of how powerful Charles' powers actually are. 2: the dinner table scene was mostly improved. Which is a testament to how natural play these characters is for Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart
My grandma has Alzheimer's. She frequently called my mom her little sister. It hurt for awhile until my mother realized that she was calling her by her favorite sister's name. It doesn't matter if they remember exactly who you are if they remember that they love you. Don't forget that you love them too.
Wolverine was alive for over 200 years. He’s seen more tragedy and suffering than anyone. For the first time he finally had someone and something to live and die for. He finally came full circle, & for as much of his life was consumed by rage, he died with and for love.
Earlier this year my dad died of a double whammy of dementia and stomach cancer. That first interaction between Charles and Logan was my life for a year.
Yukio in The Wolverine had already told him that he would die holding his heart and what is the heart of a dad? They are his children and Laura is holding Logan's hand.
Keep in mind when watching this movie Logan is not canon to the other Fox X-Men film continuity. This film takes place in an alternate timeline that was created after the events of Days of Future past. Iron Man Captain America both kill people. Spider-Man the only one who doesn't kill people but he has killed alien creatures. You should also know the adamantium does not run through Laura's entire body it only in her hands and feet. That's why Laura had to pull the bullet out with her teeth because the bullet got stuck in a bone in her arm. If you're wondering why Logan is going by James howlett that is his real name. If you don't remember in the wolverine movie his death was predicted. Logan would be lying down covered in blood holding his own heart in his hand.
Wolverine also has a more military view of situation just like Steve and Tony but Tony has a better capacity to kill through his technology. Steve can kill easier due to his self-righteous view of the world and his justification to kill when he deems it necessary which means Steve can kill easier than wolverine due to the fact that when wolverine kills one thought goes to his mind. Is his killing necessary because he's the best and what he do or is killing who Logan is because he's not very nice.
It has nothing to do with the R-rating lol. She's not sad about the blood and violence, she's sad about Logan's DEATH. Even if it was PG-13 he still would've died 😅
I think it's just because it's so sad. It reminded her of her family.. Who are not doing the best.. And seeing Logan die is hard. Of course it's a good film. But it's a hard watch at times. Has nothing to do with blood or gore. She even said at one point "so much gore... Awesome!" Lol
I loved the film , but it got me feeling , and sometimes when I feel sad I don’t like it so I say things I don’t really mean 😢 I loved the film , I just got sad!
Daphne was beyond great in Logan, you really should see "His Dark Materials" where she plays the main character of Lyra in the HBO/BBC adaptation of Phillip Pullmans books "The Golden Compass" Season 1, "The Subtle Knife" Season 2 and finally "The Amber Spyglass" Season 3. Also stars James McAvoy, Ruth Wilson, Amir Wilson, Will Keen (Daphne's Father irl), Andrew Scott, James Cosmo, David Suchet and a huge cast. ABSOLUTELY EPIC series...
The film she quotes that they watched earlier is Shane (1953). In the film a world weary gunslinger trying to escape his past helps a widow and her young son defend their home from men who want to take her land. The story seems cliché today but Shane was one of the early films to introduce that trope. In the film the son idolizes Shane's life as a gunslinger while Shane tries to discourage the boy from a life of violence. Shane gives the speech Laura quotes, after the final fight, severely wounded he rides into the sunset while slumped over in his saddle. To this dat film scholar debate whether or not he dies as he ride off. So that scene she quotes has a much deeper relevance if you know the details of Shane.
If Disney had made this film, it wouldn’t have had nearly the same impact as this masterpiece. Yes it’s raw and heavy, but that’s what made it memorable and separates itself from the rest/other superhero movies.
I've watched this movie over a dozen times. The blu-ray copy actually has a black and white version of the film. Fitting, given some of the Western themes. But, now that I've seen it so many times, now I enjoy watching others react to this masterpiece of a film. New subscriber. Great video! Hope you're well.
my grandmother passed a few years ago now from alzheimer's, and it was a rough experience to go through. x-men has always been my favorite super heroes so seeing patrick stewart play that role so well made it feel real. i love how they showed that human side to charles and logan in this movie. they really did a fantastic job of making logan charles and caliban so relatable.
15 minutes in, wow, I didn't realize how accurate this depiction of dementia was, all those little details. I'm thinking the writers have personal experience with family who went through this.
A piece of information in the comics, Logan killed a bunch of x-men and heroes while being under a spell of mysterio … he was in a friendly base, instead of seeing friends he saw some villains and thought they had killed his friends so he went and attacked them one after the other… (but it was his friends x-men and hero’s) when he came back to himself he saw all the corpse of his friend that he just killed… he coudnt take it and tried to end is life… he pitted is head on a train rail and waited for the train to only survive it… as in the movie Charles killed many x-men and heures and people too due to is mental and physical illness … that’s what is supposed to come before the movie … (if I remember right they thought of doing it in the movie but it was a bit to heavy for a begening) that’s why Charles say Logan what have you done ! What have you done in the begening… and we learn it in the radio for Charles…
You can look at it however you want. For me Wolverine got to have a special moment with Lara feel what it’s like to have a family Love connection and now he is at peace.
Another thing. I barely show emotion to movies or tv shows. There are certain moments though that do get me. When Laura says “daddy” nah that shit got me teary eyed. This is honestly my favorite xmen movie, easily my top 5 super hero movie and in my top 15 movie of all time
I lost my dear mother to dimentia last summer, after she had succumb to the illness 6-7 years previous. From losing the ability to walk and talk, then saying less and less each passing month, in the last 2-3 years she just became more and more quiet. I sang to her on videochat for 3.5 years as I live in another country, and got to be there in her final days. Dimentia is tough on all family members.
I had tears rolling down my face at the end of this (yet again), and then: "Are the people who wrote that okay -- like, are you _doing_ okay? You need, like -- you need a rainbow, and some sunshine..." 🤣🤣🤣 I couldn't stop laughing!
No lie. At the theater this older gentleman had a panic attack or an heart attack. They had to stop the movie at the scene where Logan was burying professor x. The medical people came in and served the older man and then they were in the process of taking him. And he was yelling at the people saying “leave me! I am not leaving without finishing the movie god damn it” 🤣 he was trooper. After they got him out of the building, the restarted the movie for us and eventually the next few days the older man came back to finish the movie and the theater didn’t charge him lol.
These types of themes and stories are what keep a lot of people engaged with comic books in adulthood. Yes the superhero happy positive stuff still resonates but these kind of "dark", gritty themes are 100% grounded in the way the world actually works
It really hit deep when you were talking about the correlations between Charles and your grandma, it reminds me a lot of my grandpa😭my sympathies for you
This movie hurt so bad. I've watched family die to dementia. Professor X broke my heart. Him being buried on the side of the road all alone made me cry.
Logan broke everyones heart. Still does. Its the darkest and most heartbreaking superhero movie ever made. When Prof X is killed, the movie feels like a freaking nightmare. I still cant believe Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart werent nominated for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor. We will never see a better movie about Wolverine. And i dare say, we will never see a better X-Men movie than Days of Future Past
"Gotta be careful....language" - that reminds me of when I was watching "Rambo" from 2008 on TV years ago, they showed everything, including the gore splattering on the blast shield of the gun emplacement he mans, the soldiers getting their legs cut off by the same emplacement etc. but then the station censored the swearing, lol.
Logan's death scene is the fulfillment of Yukio's prophecy about his death: "I saw you lying on your back, there's blood everywhere, and you're holding your heart in your hand." Before this movie, most people think it's literal heart that he's holding but in this movie it's clear that the heart is a metaphor for Laura, his daughter, as he's holding her hand when he dies.
If you consider Wolverine/Logan's past, much of his life, and if you've followed him in the comics, you see that he's a tragic character who has suffered enormous loss in his long life. He's also a flawed hero, a man with a tragic past, who makes mistakes, but wants to be better. These traits are what have made him such an interesting character and this film truly brings that out.
Lmao by the end of this reaction I was laughing and crying at the same time. Logan always makes me cry and the fact that Colette had no idea how depressing it was 🥲
What I like so much about the Western genre is how much it’s steeped in reality. They’re often tragic, painful and evil. But much like life, there are these small moments of beauty in between all the tragedies we experience day to day. And if we are lucky, we have an opportunity to be there for the ones we love and be their hero. Sometimes in small moments, sometimes in big moments. The beauty of a western isn’t always a happy ending but being able to do something GOOD… one last time. 😢
Brilliant commentary ! Saw "Logan" as a stand alone movie , and loved the performances . Have not seen many of the Super-Hero movies , but this totally affected me emotionally . Laura ( Dafne Keen ) was supposed to be in a sequel , but eventually she starred in the BBC production of " His Dark Materials " , which I really liked .
By far my fav marvel film. This one just makes the watcher feel so much more than all other marvel movies. The real emotion that it draws is perfection.
As a kid who first started reading comic books in the mid 80's, the X-Men was my favorite series, and Wolverine was one of my favorite characters. Only a handful of super hero movies have captured what comics books were in any meaningful way, and Logan is one of those finest efforts. First off, Wolverine was always an mature themed character, so having this movie be rated "R" was finally doing this character justice, and it did not go to waste. A movie like this was only possible because you had time over past movies to really know the characters and allow them to become family. This movie perfectly shows that most heroes rarely if ever have a happy ending, and it was all the better for showing that, and not holding anything back, this was a masterpiece.
I saw this in theaters and absolutely lost it when she changed the cross to an 'X'. I had to sit through the credits just to get my face dry and then took a long drive in a quiet car. Very few movies come anywhere close to hitting like that. Every scene gets the chance to breathe. Each character is given time to react and grow. Logan's apathy to Laura (and most everything else) is entirely believable. Just within the scope of this movie, Charles has hurt or killed hundreds of people and many of those close friends to both him and Logan. Logan must be furious, but can't channel that anywhere. Logan helps Charles because someone should and nobody else can. The very last thing anyone needs is a dangerous quest--even if it's to help children. The build up through this is spectacular. Like you, maybe, I can't quite saw that I enjoy this movie just because it's so heavy. However, I do hold this up as an objectively good movie. Well crafted story. Actors giving just amazing effort in their characters. A director trusting the audience to follow. It's an amazing production.
If it wasn't for the Adamantium on his ENTIRE skeleton, he may have been able to survive a few thousand years. His healing factor had to work 24/7 even when he wasn't physically injured, JUST to clean his blood, his liver must've been crapping out too. Laura's lucky, it's only on her claws, still not great for her long term
TransiGen probably thought that pulling a Jurassic Park and stopping Laura (X-23) from becoming male in the womb would make her easier to control relative to Logan. But mutants like her and Logan ( The Lupines) are all very cat like, (even though Lupine means wolf-Like) and the male lion might be in charge of the pride, but the females do a lot of the hunting, so she's a bit more relentless.
Not all movies have to be happy, some movies are just an experience of another life, even if I prefer them. I feel like these movies are better I can only watch them once or twice but I learn much more in watching them.
Dafe Keen really delivered an Oscar-worthy performance in this - her debut movie. Her facial expressions were so nuanced that even with only little speaking lines, she was able to show masterfully all the spectrum of emotions a raging, confused but ultimately innocent child - who just happened to be a god-level mutant. It's too bad she was not able to continue as X23 in follow up movies. Maybe Deadpool will change the minds of Disney executives..
Colette. Yes, it was dark, but perfect. The evil Wolverine was what Logan could have been and what they wanted him to be a no compassion killer. Logan was polar opposite. He had compassion and kindness. He was a dark and tortured soul, but he was a solider too. As a veteran I can see he experiences nightmare and has to deal with trauma of wars. To me this movie told us story through children. Who the children KNOW is a hero. Logan never felt he was a hero, but he was. They cut Logan's beard, they nurtured him back to health, the young boy holding the Wolverine toy. The looked up to him. Same with Charles to Logan...Charles was the father to Logan. Logan loved him like a father. He in turned wanted to do same for Laura, his daughter. Him telling her don't be what they made you was passing on his knowledge and not wanting her to experience same pain he did. Logan was thrown into fatherhood, but he did amazing. I know it isn't from this movie..but the line "you will die with your heart in your hand." Really hit home for me in this movie and having a daughter myself...she is my heart.
Imagine how much respect and love Logan has for Charles to stick with him. When they first met Logan would have just walked away. She is just like Logan, stubborn, reactive. This is a great movie. It is dark and a lot more serious. This was always supposed to be about Logan's last days.
That truck scene is incredible 😮.. the frustration on both sides is absolutely palpable.. that scene teared me up quite a bit.. not even exactly sure why other than i felt the frustration and emotion.
This movie is so extremely hard to watch because the creators and actors perfectly accomplished what they set out to do. Laura found family and she will forever remember all that Logan did for her and that he was a good man. Logan finally found peace in the end. Dafne's performance blew me away. She was amazing! In the future I will watch any movie if she is in it. Hugh, as usual did a fantastic job too. I hope to see Dafne in her own movie and story as Logan's daughter.
56:14 I know this movie seems kinda dark, but this is how the comic books really were, like the movies are really watered down for kids and families, but it was made for like teens and young adults who thrive on violence and trauma, i mean drama (do I?)
The best part about the movie after the awesome acting and making sure it had the R rating so it could be way more real instead of a fluff movie is that X-23 was already a well established character.
I know how you feel Colette. I took an a grandmas boy raised by my grandma. She also had dementia and I was the only grandchild she remembered because of all the time I spent with her.
Dafne Keen aka Laura aka X23 was asked if she is going to be in the Deadpool and Wolverine movie. She said no but it wouldn't be the first time an actor lied about being in a movie. It would be cool if she joined the Young Avengers. She's been in a few movies and shows. Most recently The Acolyte.
I 😞❤️🌹I lost My Grandmother to Dialysis but She Developed Dementia also her Final 2 Years..She had an Easy passing but still…Bless you Madame…Best thing is to be there
I absolutely love that this movie caught you off guard! Hahah. This one is the last one in the timeline, I think? And there are several other movies between X-2, which I think is what you last watched, and this. But having said this, loved the reaction!!! Again, it was kind of cool that you weren't expecting this sort of film. Amongst the ones you haven't watched yet are Wolverine: Origins and The Wolverine, which are more like anyone would expect a wolverine superhero movie to be. Great palate cleanser for the sadness probably! Objectively worse movies than Logan though, what a trip.
I absolutely love this movie. This is honestly the kind of movie that fans have really been wanting. They’ve been wanting more of a realistic brutal portrayal of the character of wolverine. Because it’s like the fun games are over now it’s time to get into the nitty-gritty of this franchise and these characters. And yeah, the movie is dark and depressing but yeah that’s the fucking point. Because realistically that’s how a character like wolverine would be and this is how his life would turn out after everything he seen and after everything he’s been through. This movie is based off of the old man Logan comics which are fantastic. I think you should check out those graphic novels. It’s just this movie. It’s just so good in terms of storytelling acting and the action and also the dark harsh realities of the superhero life and how it’s just not what it’s all cracked up to be because it’s like what Logan said in that one scene in the real world people die. Because yeah, it mirrors what happens in real life yeah people do die when it comes to trying to save the world and also when wars get fought, yeah people die. And yeah, I love that this movie did not hold back on the violence because honestly that’s what it would be like if Logan really existed and that’s what it would really be like when he’s hacking people up there would be a lot of blood and guts and body parts all over the place yeah that’s what it would be like. And I give credit to James Mangold for not being afraid to not hold back on anything in this movie and give us a kick in the ass with this movie. Honestly, we need more marvel films like this Marvel needs to be more like this movie. I’m just saying because I am so sick and tired of the kind of marvel films that we get today like I’m getting so sick and tired of this childish bullshit that we get from marvel. I want more dark depressing gritty edgy stuff because I live for that shit Marvel films need to be more like Quentin Tarantino films. They need to be raw dark edgy and thought-provoking with clever writing, great storytelling, and great action scenes and yeah, a lot of blood and guts and a little bit of shock value And great acting great actors and great cinematography just all in all marvel needs to be more like this movie. I want more fucking rated R Marvel movies like I said I’m just so sick and tired of the childish bullshit. You wanna know what I would love to see. I would love to see them make a rated R incredible Hulk movie like I would love to see a rated R Hulk movie because I wonder what it would be like to hear Bruce Banner cuss, and just tear people, limb from limb when he’s the Hulk just the bad guys.
First time viewer. A couple of observations. 1) you rewind and rewatch segments. It not something a lot of reactors do, it means your analyzing the scene, not from a cinematic student point of view deconstructing the scene, but more appreciating the depth of a scene. I like it. 2) you stop on text and read articles to further the depth of the scene or plot. Its impressive the amount of curiosity you have for something so small, most if not all other reactors would simply skip over it and move on. Well done young lady. I will subscribe and enjoy your content further, but if you havent already, you need to react to Firefly.
X-men, X2 and then logan? Thats not the right way to watch.. You need to watch X-men last stand, wolverine origin, first class, the wolverine, days of future past, apocalypse
Hugh Jackman took a pay cut just so the film could be rated R. He wanted this to be the real Wolverine and his swan song for the character.
Balancing the pros and cons - best Libra trait. Just look at the Libras succeeding in Hollywood : Glenn Powell and Jenna Ortega
Yup he knew from The Wolverine that this would benefit.

Man, it makes a big difference when a reaction person is clued-in to the movie. This is really an excellent video.
Agreed and she’s actually also VERY observant. She sees the art, the mood, the connections, the emotions, the filmmaking… I really like her reactions.
“What’s her gift, eating? Pipe throwing?” Never fails to get a chuckle out of me 😂
Also in case anyone who doesn’t speak spanish is wondering, she basically says “why would I talk to you when all you do is yell at me, insult me, and try to leave me behind” when she’s yelling at him in the car after he asks her why she’s been quiet this whole time.

With the sale of Fox they didnt follow through and make a movie with her as X-23. I have heard rumors she might come back and I hope she does, she was great.
I've heard there's a chance she'll make an appearance as X-23 in Deadpool and Wolverine 🤞
She is the apprentice in star wars acolyte and prob the best thing about that show. And yes she is in deadpool and wolverine and has her comic book suit it looks amazing

The Logan in this film is the one that went to the past in Xmen days of future past to stop the future where mutants are eliminated by trask. So hes actually depressed an recluse in the first place, as despite everything he did to change that, everyone is still dead

"Beware the light" is one of my favorite scenes of this movie.
In The Wolverine movie, the mutant who could see how people die said Logan would die covered in blood with his heart in his hand. He dies in this movie holding Laura’s hand😢
Logan really is the saddest X-Men life like he’ll pretty much outlive all the X-men & still have no peace
This is a beautiful example of a Western genre translated to a superhero film. And I love both film types so much. What a poetic and powerful film. Great reaction 👏🏾!
The old western film Laura and Xavier were watching is called "Shane".
James Howlett aka Wolverine was born in 1832 Canada. In the the movie it's 2029.
Two things. 1: the scene with the horses is heartbreaking to me because its a reminder of how powerful Charles' powers actually are. 2: the dinner table scene was mostly improved. Which is a testament to how natural play these characters is for Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart

Wolverine was alive for over 200 years. He’s seen more tragedy and suffering than anyone. For the first time he finally had someone and something to live and die for. He finally came full circle, & for as much of his life was consumed by rage, he died with and for love.
197 years. He was born in 1832.
Earlier this year my dad died of a double whammy of dementia and stomach cancer. That first interaction between Charles and Logan was my life for a year.
The medicine is wearing off because he's taking A LOT of injuries and damage. This movie is an absolute classic.
I always thought of it as a kind of adrenaline shot for enhancing mutant abilities. A nice burst of power, but doesn't last long.
@kaojinn
I also saw it as being an adrenaline shot just a nice quick boost to get them going
Yukio in The Wolverine had already told him that he would die holding his heart and what is the heart of a dad? They are his children and Laura is holding Logan's hand.
Gabriela , Caliban, Charles & Logan gave their lives for mutantkind to live on. X-Men Forever! 🖤🙅🏽♂️
Keep in mind when watching this movie Logan is not canon to the other Fox X-Men film continuity. This film takes place in an alternate timeline that was created after the events of Days of Future past. Iron Man Captain America both kill people. Spider-Man the only one who doesn't kill people but he has killed alien creatures. You should also know the adamantium does not run through Laura's entire body it only in her hands and feet. That's why Laura had to pull the bullet out with her teeth because the bullet got stuck in a bone in her arm. If you're wondering why Logan is going by James howlett that is his real name. If you don't remember in the wolverine movie his death was predicted. Logan would be lying down covered in blood holding his own heart in his hand.
Wolverine also has a more military view of situation just like Steve and Tony but Tony has a better capacity to kill through his technology. Steve can kill easier due to his self-righteous view of the world and his justification to kill when he deems it necessary which means Steve can kill easier than wolverine due to the fact that when wolverine kills one thought goes to his mind. Is his killing necessary because he's the best and what he do or is killing who Logan is because he's not very nice.
Spider man won't kill people but he'll hurl manhole covers at people 💀
You wish you never saw this movie??? What did you expect from an R rated Wolverine movie… this film is a masterpiece!
It has nothing to do with the R-rating lol. She's not sad about the blood and violence, she's sad about Logan's DEATH. Even if it was PG-13 he still would've died 😅
I think it's just because it's so sad. It reminded her of her family.. Who are not doing the best.. And seeing Logan die is hard. Of course it's a good film. But it's a hard watch at times. Has nothing to do with blood or gore. She even said at one point "so much gore... Awesome!" Lol
1:13:50. This should clear it up for you.
I loved the film , but it got me feeling , and sometimes when I feel sad I don’t like it so I say things I don’t really mean 😢 I loved the film , I just got sad!
It does hit hard. Did you listen to the very tough Johnny Cash song in the credits?
They were thinking “Old Man Logan” when they made this movie. It’s not an MCU “Marvel” movie.
The story was from the comics, that means its a Marvel movie idiot...
Daphne was beyond great in Logan, you really should see "His Dark Materials" where she plays the main character of Lyra in the HBO/BBC adaptation of Phillip Pullmans books "The Golden Compass" Season 1, "The Subtle Knife" Season 2 and finally "The Amber Spyglass" Season 3. Also stars James McAvoy, Ruth Wilson, Amir Wilson, Will Keen (Daphne's Father irl), Andrew Scott, James Cosmo, David Suchet and a huge cast.
ABSOLUTELY EPIC series...
Great reaction, you're very perceptive on picking up major themes & motifs, as well as being incredibly compassionate. Logan is a masterpiece.
The film she quotes that they watched earlier is Shane (1953). In the film a world weary gunslinger trying to escape his past helps a widow and her young son defend their home from men who want to take her land. The story seems cliché today but Shane was one of the early films to introduce that trope. In the film the son idolizes Shane's life as a gunslinger while Shane tries to discourage the boy from a life of violence. Shane gives the speech Laura quotes, after the final fight, severely wounded he rides into the sunset while slumped over in his saddle. To this dat film scholar debate whether or not he dies as he ride off. So that scene she quotes has a much deeper relevance if you know the details of Shane.
If Disney had made this film, it wouldn’t have had nearly the same impact as this masterpiece. Yes it’s raw and heavy, but that’s what made it memorable and separates itself from the rest/other superhero movies.
I've watched this movie over a dozen times. The blu-ray copy actually has a black and white version of the film. Fitting, given some of the Western themes. But, now that I've seen it so many times, now I enjoy watching others react to this masterpiece of a film. New subscriber. Great video! Hope you're well.
There is something between Logan and farmers. In his origin, the old couple who sheltered him after the experiment were killed as well
my grandmother passed a few years ago now from alzheimer's, and it was a rough experience to go through. x-men has always been my favorite super heroes so seeing patrick stewart play that role so well made it feel real. i love how they showed that human side to charles and logan in this movie. they really did a fantastic job of making logan charles and caliban so relatable.
15 minutes in, wow, I didn't realize how accurate this depiction of dementia was, all those little details. I'm thinking the writers have personal experience with family who went through this.
A piece of information in the comics, Logan killed a bunch of x-men and heroes while being under a spell of mysterio … he was in a friendly base, instead of seeing friends he saw some villains and thought they had killed his friends so he went and attacked them one after the other… (but it was his friends x-men and hero’s) when he came back to himself he saw all the corpse of his friend that he just killed… he coudnt take it and tried to end is life… he pitted is head on a train rail and waited for the train to only survive it… as in the movie Charles killed many x-men and heures and people too due to is mental and physical illness … that’s what is supposed to come before the movie … (if I remember right they thought of doing it in the movie but it was a bit to heavy for a begening) that’s why Charles say Logan what have you done ! What have you done in the begening… and we learn it in the radio for Charles…
i wonder with an adamantium neck, did he derail the train?
You can look at it however you want. For me Wolverine got to have a special moment with Lara feel what it’s like to have a family Love connection and now he is at peace.
Another thing. I barely show emotion to movies or tv shows. There are certain moments though that do get me. When Laura says “daddy” nah that shit got me teary eyed.
This is honestly my favorite xmen movie, easily my top 5 super hero movie and in my top 15 movie of all time
I lost my dear mother to dimentia last summer, after she had succumb to the illness 6-7 years previous. From losing the ability to walk and talk, then saying less and less each passing month, in the last 2-3 years she just became more and more quiet. I sang to her on videochat for 3.5 years as I live in another country, and got to be there in her final days. Dimentia is tough on all family members.
Logan's main concern was keeping Xavier safe. Through Laura you have a glimpse of what a young Logan would have been like.
I had tears rolling down my face at the end of this (yet again), and then: "Are the people who wrote that okay -- like, are you _doing_ okay? You need, like -- you need a rainbow, and some sunshine..." 🤣🤣🤣 I couldn't stop laughing!
No lie. At the theater this older gentleman had a panic attack or an heart attack. They had to stop the movie at the scene where Logan was burying professor x. The medical people came in and served the older man and then they were in the process of taking him. And he was yelling at the people saying “leave me! I am not leaving without finishing the movie god damn it” 🤣 he was trooper. After they got him out of the building, the restarted the movie for us and eventually the next few days the older man came back to finish the movie and the theater didn’t charge him lol.
A great example of adapting the comics. And also how to end a character's story.
These types of themes and stories are what keep a lot of people engaged with comic books in adulthood. Yes the superhero happy positive stuff still resonates but these kind of "dark", gritty themes are 100% grounded in the way the world actually works
Fun fact. Hugh spent long nights drinking and staying up all night to prepare for this move. The haggard look is real.
It really hit deep when you were talking about the correlations between Charles and your grandma, it reminds me a lot of my grandpa😭my sympathies for you
This movie hurt so bad. I've watched family die to dementia. Professor X broke my heart. Him being buried on the side of the road all alone made me cry.
At least we get to see Jackman again as Wolverine in the next Deadpool movie. Should be a lot of fun again but this movie was amazing top to bottom.
The “don’t leave me with that fu**ing albino” part killed me and what you said aftr😂
Logan broke everyones heart. Still does. Its the darkest and most heartbreaking superhero movie ever made.
When Prof X is killed, the movie feels like a freaking nightmare. I still cant believe Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart werent nominated for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor.
We will never see a better movie about Wolverine. And i dare say, we will never see a better X-Men movie than Days of Future Past
I'd say the best Marvel movie ever made.
I'd say Logan is a better movie than The Dark Knight
"Gotta be careful....language" - that reminds me of when I was watching "Rambo" from 2008 on TV years ago, they showed everything, including the gore splattering on the blast shield of the gun emplacement he mans, the soldiers getting their legs cut off by the same emplacement etc. but then the station censored the swearing, lol.
Logan's death scene is the fulfillment of Yukio's prophecy about his death: "I saw you lying on your back, there's blood everywhere, and you're holding your heart in your hand." Before this movie, most people think it's literal heart that he's holding but in this movie it's clear that the heart is a metaphor for Laura, his daughter, as he's holding her hand when he dies.
In the wolverine yuriko says: "you will die with your heart at hand", the heart was laura.
If you consider Wolverine/Logan's past, much of his life, and if you've followed him in the comics, you see that he's a tragic character who has suffered enormous loss in his long life. He's also a flawed hero, a man with a tragic past, who makes mistakes, but wants to be better. These traits are what have made him such an interesting character and this film truly brings that out.
Lmao by the end of this reaction I was laughing and crying at the same time. Logan always makes me cry and the fact that Colette had no idea how depressing it was 🥲
What I like so much about the Western genre is how much it’s steeped in reality. They’re often tragic, painful and evil. But much like life, there are these small moments of beauty in between all the tragedies we experience day to day. And if we are lucky, we have an opportunity to be there for the ones we love and be their hero. Sometimes in small moments, sometimes in big moments. The beauty of a western isn’t always a happy ending but being able to do something GOOD… one last time. 😢
Brilliant commentary ! Saw "Logan" as a stand alone movie , and loved the performances . Have not seen many of the Super-Hero movies , but this totally affected me emotionally . Laura ( Dafne Keen ) was supposed to be in a sequel , but eventually she starred in the BBC production of " His Dark Materials " , which I really liked .
Did you watch the previous 6 films off camera or something?
By far my fav marvel film. This one just makes the watcher feel so much more than all other marvel movies. The real emotion that it draws is perfection.
As a kid who first started reading comic books in the mid 80's, the X-Men was my favorite series, and Wolverine was one of my favorite characters. Only a handful of super hero movies have captured what comics books were in any meaningful way, and Logan is one of those finest efforts. First off, Wolverine was always an mature themed character, so having this movie be rated "R" was finally doing this character justice, and it did not go to waste. A movie like this was only possible because you had time over past movies to really know the characters and allow them to become family. This movie perfectly shows that most heroes rarely if ever have a happy ending, and it was all the better for showing that, and not holding anything back, this was a masterpiece.
Never noticed the water speech reminded him of the boat. Nice spotting.
I saw this in theaters and absolutely lost it when she changed the cross to an 'X'. I had to sit through the credits just to get my face dry and then took a long drive in a quiet car. Very few movies come anywhere close to hitting like that. Every scene gets the chance to breathe. Each character is given time to react and grow. Logan's apathy to Laura (and most everything else) is entirely believable. Just within the scope of this movie, Charles has hurt or killed hundreds of people and many of those close friends to both him and Logan. Logan must be furious, but can't channel that anywhere. Logan helps Charles because someone should and nobody else can. The very last thing anyone needs is a dangerous quest--even if it's to help children. The build up through this is spectacular. Like you, maybe, I can't quite saw that I enjoy this movie just because it's so heavy. However, I do hold this up as an objectively good movie. Well crafted story. Actors giving just amazing effort in their characters. A director trusting the audience to follow. It's an amazing production.
"I saw your death Logan, you were holding you heart in your hand." -The Wolverine: who's had was he holding Colette...who's had?
I think we all cried with this movie...
If it wasn't for the Adamantium on his ENTIRE skeleton, he may have been able to survive a few thousand years. His healing factor had to work 24/7 even when he wasn't physically injured, JUST to clean his blood, his liver must've been crapping out too. Laura's lucky, it's only on her claws, still not great for her long term
TransiGen probably thought that pulling a Jurassic Park and stopping Laura (X-23) from becoming male in the womb would make her easier to control relative to Logan. But mutants like her and Logan ( The Lupines) are all very cat like, (even though Lupine means wolf-Like) and the male lion might be in charge of the pride, but the females do a lot of the hunting, so she's a bit more relentless.
Not all movies have to be happy, some movies are just an experience of another life, even if I prefer them. I feel like these movies are better I can only watch them once or twice but I learn much more in watching them.
So sorry to hear about your grandma 😞
Dafe Keen really delivered an Oscar-worthy performance in this - her debut movie. Her facial expressions were so nuanced that even with only little speaking lines, she was able to show masterfully all the spectrum of emotions a raging, confused but ultimately innocent child - who just happened to be a god-level mutant.
It's too bad she was not able to continue as X23 in follow up movies. Maybe Deadpool will change the minds of Disney executives..
Colette. Yes, it was dark, but perfect. The evil Wolverine was what Logan could have been and what they wanted him to be a no compassion killer. Logan was polar opposite. He had compassion and kindness. He was a dark and tortured soul, but he was a solider too. As a veteran I can see he experiences nightmare and has to deal with trauma of wars. To me this movie told us story through children. Who the children KNOW is a hero. Logan never felt he was a hero, but he was. They cut Logan's beard, they nurtured him back to health, the young boy holding the Wolverine toy. The looked up to him. Same with Charles to Logan...Charles was the father to Logan. Logan loved him like a father. He in turned wanted to do same for Laura, his daughter. Him telling her don't be what they made you was passing on his knowledge and not wanting her to experience same pain he did. Logan was thrown into fatherhood, but he did amazing. I know it isn't from this movie..but the line "you will die with your heart in your hand." Really hit home for me in this movie and having a daughter myself...she is my heart.
Imagine how much respect and love Logan has for Charles to stick with him. When they first met Logan would have just walked away. She is just like Logan, stubborn, reactive. This is a great movie. It is dark and a lot more serious. This was always supposed to be about Logan's last days.
Back in the Wolverine Yukio tells Logan that he'll die with his heart in his hand, then he dies holding Laura hand..😢
Many ppl forgot that Logan still died suits Yukio's prophecy "He died with his heart on his hand"
And that heart is Laura
Colette, Logan wasn't the next X-Men movie for you to watch, Last Stand was suppose to be the next one!
It’s honestly probably better she skipped that one
@@DeeDeeDeeeee She doesn't know that and probably doesn't believe that.
She watched all of them it’s on her patreon
That truck scene is incredible 😮.. the frustration on both sides is absolutely palpable.. that scene teared me up quite a bit.. not even exactly sure why other than i felt the frustration and emotion.
The best thing FOX has done with Wolverine is making it very faithful to the comics, this movie is the best in the world
This movie is so extremely hard to watch because the creators and actors perfectly accomplished what they set out to do. Laura found family and she will forever remember all that Logan did for her and that he was a good man. Logan finally found peace in the end. Dafne's performance blew me away. She was amazing! In the future I will watch any movie if she is in it. Hugh, as usual did a fantastic job too. I hope to see Dafne in her own movie and story as Logan's daughter.
The point of this movie is that Hugh Jackman won't live forever but he will always be Wolverine, so they ended his life in the series.
56:14 I know this movie seems kinda dark, but this is how the comic books really were, like the movies are really watered down for kids and families, but it was made for like teens and young adults who thrive on violence and trauma, i mean drama (do I?)
The people that wrote the plot for this movie AND the people that watched it when it first came out, we are still not okay..... EVERY SINGLE TIME.
The best part about the movie after the awesome acting and making sure it had the R rating so it could be way more real instead of a fluff movie is that X-23 was already a well established character.
I know how you feel Colette. I took an a grandmas boy raised by my grandma. She also had dementia and I was the only grandchild she remembered because of all the time I spent with her.
'OMG, gory ... I love it!' 😂
Sometimes it takes a death to better appreciate life.
Dafne Keen aka Laura aka X23 was asked if she is going to be in the Deadpool and Wolverine movie. She said no but it wouldn't be the first time an actor lied about being in a movie. It would be cool if she joined the Young Avengers. She's been in a few movies and shows. Most recently The Acolyte.
She was in the final trailer 🎉
I 😞❤️🌹I lost My Grandmother to Dialysis but She Developed Dementia also her Final 2 Years..She had an Easy passing but still…Bless you Madame…Best thing is to be there
When Logan said so this is what it feels like. He isn't talking about death he's talking about love
It's open to interpretation
Actually, he's referring to mortal people dying before their children.
James Mangold actually did an interview saying it was both meanings. Contributing it to his co-writer Scott Frank.
I absolutely love that this movie caught you off guard! Hahah. This one is the last one in the timeline, I think? And there are several other movies between X-2, which I think is what you last watched, and this. But having said this, loved the reaction!!! Again, it was kind of cool that you weren't expecting this sort of film. Amongst the ones you haven't watched yet are Wolverine: Origins and The Wolverine, which are more like anyone would expect a wolverine superhero movie to be. Great palate cleanser for the sadness probably! Objectively worse movies than Logan though, what a trip.
I absolutely love this movie. This is honestly the kind of movie that fans have really been wanting. They’ve been wanting more of a realistic brutal portrayal of the character of wolverine. Because it’s like the fun games are over now it’s time to get into the nitty-gritty of this franchise and these characters. And yeah, the movie is dark and depressing but yeah that’s the fucking point. Because realistically that’s how a character like wolverine would be and this is how his life would turn out after everything he seen and after everything he’s been through. This movie is based off of the old man Logan comics which are fantastic. I think you should check out those graphic novels. It’s just this movie. It’s just so good in terms of storytelling acting and the action and also the dark harsh realities of the superhero life and how it’s just not what it’s all cracked up to be because it’s like what Logan said in that one scene in the real world people die. Because yeah, it mirrors what happens in real life yeah people do die when it comes to trying to save the world and also when wars get fought, yeah people die. And yeah, I love that this movie did not hold back on the violence because honestly that’s what it would be like if Logan really existed and that’s what it would really be like when he’s hacking people up there would be a lot of blood and guts and body parts all over the place yeah that’s what it would be like. And I give credit to James Mangold for not being afraid to not hold back on anything in this movie and give us a kick in the ass with this movie. Honestly, we need more marvel films like this Marvel needs to be more like this movie. I’m just saying because I am so sick and tired of the kind of marvel films that we get today like I’m getting so sick and tired of this childish bullshit that we get from marvel. I want more dark depressing gritty edgy stuff because I live for that shit Marvel films need to be more like Quentin Tarantino films. They need to be raw dark edgy and thought-provoking with clever writing, great storytelling, and great action scenes and yeah, a lot of blood and guts and a little bit of shock value And great acting great actors and great cinematography just all in all marvel needs to be more like this movie. I want more fucking rated R Marvel movies like I said I’m just so sick and tired of the childish bullshit. You wanna know what I would love to see. I would love to see them make a rated R incredible Hulk movie like I would love to see a rated R Hulk movie because I wonder what it would be like to hear Bruce Banner cuss, and just tear people, limb from limb when he’s the Hulk just the bad guys.
First time viewer. A couple of observations. 1) you rewind and rewatch segments. It not something a lot of reactors do, it means your analyzing the scene, not from a cinematic student point of view deconstructing the scene, but more appreciating the depth of a scene. I like it. 2) you stop on text and read articles to further the depth of the scene or plot. Its impressive the amount of curiosity you have for something so small, most if not all other reactors would simply skip over it and move on. Well done young lady. I will subscribe and enjoy your content further, but if you havent already, you need to react to Firefly.
X-men, X2 and then logan? Thats not the right way to watch.. You need to watch X-men last stand, wolverine origin, first class, the wolverine, days of future past, apocalypse
They're probably up on her Patreon and went up here in a weird order.
You can literally skip X3, Orgins, First Class, The Wolverine, days of future paste, apocalypse and dark phoenix. They all sucked.
Colette you skipped over a bunch of X-men movies and went straight to the last Wolverine movie, time to fire your recommenders.
You struggle a lot with the darkness of this movie, but that is why you will never forget it. Nor will I.
i watched this film with my dad. first and only time i saw him cry in 21 years
