Wow... so I have looked forward to this movie for a while, since my brother said how good it was (he is a big fan of the book), but I simply wasn't prepared. I am not sure anyone can be. Please watch at your digression.

It is a brilliantly written, and performed movie. It was much more powerful than I expected it to be, and left me completely emotionally empty.

If you haven't seen this yet, be warned, it was some pretty graphic and upsetting scenes. But I am so glad I managed to check it out spoiler free.

I really hope you enjoy this reaction, and many more moments to come! ❤️

jeez veggie loving the movies, I never got a chance to see this but I saw it in all my theatre previews when I went for other movies it looked very Mr.beast challenges/squid games-esque. In a long car ride so gonna enjoy this

This has become my new favorite movie! I think you’re like the first person on the entire internet to post a reaction and I literally jumped out of my chair when I got the notification. So excited to watch!

Veggie bringing the heat. This is one of my favorite books by Stephen King. And even though they changed a little bit here and there and changed the ending, this movie was absolutely phenomenal. The life of Chuck is another one you should do. It’s a lot less intense.

I certainly wanna watch this one day, but from the little that I know about it (plus your warnings) I know I'll have to be in a very specific mindset to be able to. Like, I've heard so many good things about this movie (writing, acting, directing, editing...), but everytime they came with a warning, so I'm veeeeeeery cautious about this one!

VeggieGamer

I would definitely recommend being in the right mindset before watching this one. It is amazing, but is also pretty tough.

I have not heard of this film but it seems interesting, if a bit bleak. May give it a go and see how you get on with it Veggie over the weekend, once I finish The Penguin, which is brilliant so far!

Likes always appreciated! It’s how these posts grow! ~ but if you are not in the mood for a dark film right now, maybe check it out some other time! 🔅

This is one of my favourite books, and I was both excited for and dreading this film when it was announced. It's so incredibly bleak, but the bonds of friendship are such a shining juxtaposition. The character work in this film is really great - we're introduced to a lot of characters, but they're all memorable and it's always heartbreaking when they're killed. I was caught off-guard by the film's ending when I first watched it (not in a bad way), as it's a change from the book. Both endings are tragedies in their own way, and they work in their different mediums. I definitely think the ending is symbolic, in a sense that very closely aligns with the book; whether Peter is killed or not, he's stuck on the road now, still walking. An incredibly powerful film - it's one of the best King adaptations ever made in my opinion. Thanks for sharing your reaction Veggie, it was very visceral and raw, and well-appreciated ❤️

This and The Life of Chuck knocked it out of the park.

I haven't got around to watching that one yet - I'm a huge Flanagan fan, so I really need to check it out, I've heard all good things about it

I just watched this in the cinema yesterday and pretty much came out with the same exact reaction you did, Veggie. Such a well done movie in every aspect. Again, if theres any movies that particularly interest you, surprise reactions are always welcomed by me:)

I was not expecting this at all, but it was so awesome to watch this with you. I was a mess when I saw it in theaters, and it is so deeply moving and tragic. I had the same take on the ending as you, it was incredibly sad. The acting in this movie is phenomenal and even the cinematography is eerily beautiful in a way. This was definitely worth a rewatch because knowing the fate of each character just makes this movie more painful to watch (in the best way possible)

Ummmm, I've never heard anyone say we won the Vietnam War, including the government. It was unwinnable, though, for certain reasons that no one, especially people who support Hanoi Jane and the like, wants to talk about. Your condescending farmers and laborers jab is out of line. By the way, most of the men in Vietnam weren't career soldiers who were extremely well trained. They were also farmers and laborers.

Hanneli Norrgard

I was already hesitant to watch this knowing it's King and how little I support him. However, learning that it's more drivel about Vietnam just reinforces that. No, we did not win Vietnam, and there was no way we were going to win it. However, there was a reason we were involved, and losing it meant a terrible fate for many of the Vietnamese stuck there. Sorry, but I know far too many people who were directly affected by the evil North Vietnamese government to have any sympathy for that side. About 1/3 of my classmates growing up were children of people who fled the country and could not return due to that government. I wasn't going to comment, but the other side has to be heard about this issue because revisionists far too often try to make everything hunky dory.

Oh now that was a tough watch, but an amazing one at the same time. Powerful and engaging right to the end, so major props to the actors and writers, as you said it was literally just people walking and talking interspersed moments of brutality. I must now read the book to see how it compares!

Des Keesee

ugh i am so happy you reacted to this. what a wildly impactful movie. mcvries has got to be one of my favorite characters of all time, despite his differences in the book. but holy moly that character would have so believably been a guardian angel. thanks for the react ❤️
