This one was pretty tough for me-I talk about why in the outro but now feel embarrassed after the fact.

The thing is this is what’s amazing about movies and storytelling and how they will affect people so differently. Robin Williams and Robert De Niro were incredible.

Thomas Cooney

So happy to see you watched this. I’m sure you loved it. My wife and I love your reactions. You’ve been with us from NY to TX, dating to marriage, and now our 1 year old daughter. So we joke all the time - “should we see if Cassie wants to watch a movie with us tonight” :-) stay amazing!

Brian McGovern

I can imagine this would have been difficult for you, based on your previous discussion at the end of Rain Man. I assume it goes along the same line.

2-Can

Also, it was directed by Penny Marshal, who directed A League of Their Own- this one really showed her skill at storytelling.

Doc Larry/old geezer

This film offers a powerful, fictionalized portrayal inspired by the clinical work of Dr. Oliver Sacks an extraordinary physician whose insight into the human mind was nothing short of remarkable. I had the privilege of hearing him lecture once, and it left a lasting impression. I highly recommend reading his books; they are truly fascinating and deeply human. The performances elevate the entire experience—Robin Williams delivers with his usual brilliance, and Robert De Niro is absolutely at his best in this role. A moving film that blends medicine, humanity, and storytelling in a way that stays with you. wrote my earlier commentary before watching the film with you and hearing your heartfelt reflections at the end. The way it impacted you was truly moving—honest, vulnerable, and absolutely beautiful. As a healthcare professional, I know it’s easy at times to become a bit detached, but your story reminded me of the depth and humanity behind every experience. It genuinely resonated with me. My heart goes out to you and your family. I sincerely hope you find peace, strength, and continued healing. Please know that I wish there were something I could do to help, but I also respect that boundary—you have your trusted doctors and a close friend who is a health professional guiding you with care. You’re not alone in being supported and cared for, and I’m wishing you nothing but the very best.

a year or so after this, Robin Williams voiced the genie in Aladdin; at one point in that movie the genie does an impression of Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver, which supposedly was inspired by Williams' interactions with De Niro on the set of this movie

Johnny Bullis

No need to be embarrassed Cass.. this is a judge free zone. Its nice to see vulnerability from you.. I have always said you wear your heart on your sleeve and it shows. Thats one of the many reasons I love this channel. It feels like home. Afterall.. you are our mother of popcorn.

Milton Reduxed

I was going to get to bed at a reasonable hour but Cassie has foiled my plan! EDIT: Totally worth it

John Liebling

This is why I think the Fischer King will be a difficult watch for Cassie.

Dan M

This is such an amazing movie, with fantastic performances by Robert Dinero and Robin Williams. DeNiro’s performance in particular is so captivating because it’s a role unlike any that he’s done before (at least that I’m aware of). I knew this one would be tough on you. I can’t imagine what you would have to be embarrassed about in your outro. I guess I’ll find out later tonight. But if it was what you were feeling at the time, then it was real. No judgement here.

Dan M

A very beautiful comment, Doc Larry.

Michael West

This is a wonderfully beautiful, heart wrenching movie with stellar performances by both Robert DeNiro and Robin Williams. I thought this might be a difficult watch, given your previously shared experiences with your little sister. I have a grandson with special needs so these kinds of movies hit differently than they used to. Don't ever feel embarrassed. Your empathy and honest emotions are what set this channel apart from so many others.

Tyler Lathrop

My sister has cerebral palsy so seeing you're reaction at the end and you talking about what you go through was really moving and really hit me hard because i completely understand.

Mike Lemon

Off topic- When did they change the YouTube embedded player? The new layout it so bad.

Obie Brown

I caught this movie on tv randomly as a kid and I never forgot it, glad its getting some love.

Steve Mercier

"Mr. Lowe, are you at all aware of the unconscious hostiIity you're exhibiting toward us right now?" "How can l be aware if it's unconscious?"

Brian McGovern

Let us not recommend Lorenzo's Oil then. That is a terrific movie but is likely to wreck Cassie even more than this or Rain Man ever did.

Mary Ann Morgan

I haven’t even started watching yet but I do love this movie. However, I don’t watch it often because I cry so much when his mom sees him for the first time, recovered. It is a tear jerking movie.

Joe R

I can't open Picture-in-Picture on this video, what's the trick?

MikeLL

Oh, dear Cassie, thank you for sharing that reaction and taking us on your journey with this movie. Your caring and empathy really shines through what was a very emotional experience for you. I think we have next year's Poppy's Best Drama winner right here. If not an entrant in the Popcorn in Bed Hall of Fame. A very special reaction.

kaiielle

I watched your outro before I re-watch the movie with your watchalong later on. There is nothing to be embarrassed about when explaining why a film resonates so deeply with you, or being so emotional that you can't get yourself together. (Do you remember how messy I was at the end of our Hook reaction? I did not feel like I could get myself together.) I can understand how you feel. I think we all have a movie or two that feels like it portrays an experience we've been through so accurately. Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) and Jersey Girl (2004) are those two movies for me. Hopefully we'll get reactions to them someday! In writing this, I just realized that I hadn't requested either movie on the PiB website, but I've now fixed that.

Johnny Bullis

One more thought.. its amazing the impact movies have on us. We all connect to them in different ways. Whether its a childhood memory or someone we saw the movie with or even just a movie we've watched over and over again. Movies truly are powerful and there are so many deep meanings we can find in them. Or like with my situation with my son.. seeing movies together was our thing. And now that he isnt talking to me.. its tough to watch them knowing he isnt with me to experience them. And I know I've said this before.. Im glad I found this channel Miss Cassie.. watching with you has made it easier to watch and love movies again. Heck, you've even gotten me to watch movies I never thought Id watch or would like. This channel means a lot to me Cassie. Thank you.

MikeLL

Clicking on the title of the post opens up a new page and then clicking on the YouTube symbol on bottom right of the video opens up the reaction on YouTube without all of Patreon's quirkiness plus the YouTube picture in picture feature.

Joe R

thanks

John Neiberger

I've seen Awakenings many times and I cry pretty hard at the end every time. But after a death in the family last week, I don't think I have enough in my emotional bank account to handle this. It's an amazing movie but I think I'll wait a few weeks and come back to it. De Niro and Williams were absolutely incredible in it. Superb movie!

Clay F

Sending positive signals to your son (and sister), as well as you and your family. My daughter has anxiety, so certain movies can affect me in view of that. As for this movie, after the group had taken the initial dose of medicine, when you said "I can't wait to meet them all," I was right there with you. This was my first watch. I didn't know what was going to happen. At the very end, I am glad Dr. Sayer asked Eleanor to go for coffee. Good acting by Robin Williams and especially De Niro. Tonight, I think I am going to rewatch Lion (2016) (true story) -- has complexity but works for me as a deep uplift every time.

Keith Jacobsen

Congratulations to your mom Cassie, 40 years of service is incredible. Where would we be without medical professionals?

Milton Reduxed

I hope for the best for your son's good health, I am sure you are doing everything humanly possible Keep believing in the gospel, in the healing miracles, and the spiritual words that give life to the flesh

Canadianant

This was new to me. What an acting masterclass! It's completely understandable why this was such a difficult watch for you, but I'm glad you did. Thank you for sharing what you did with us. There are certainly going to be movies that hit you hard, especially if you have personal experience with the subject matter. You had mentioned your sister before during Rain man, but I was unaware of the difficulties and struggles you're going through with your son. My heart goes out to you and your family . Your love for your family is an absolute cornerstone of everything you do and your son is in great hands. You have absolutely no reason to be embarrassed and in fact it's admirable.

Choof

Absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. Its that empathy, genuineness that sets you apart and makes you so special to all of us.

Milton Reduxed

Therapy-speak really is some of the most inhuman BS... Some experts who claim to have the greatest knowledge of psychology have the least understanding

Milton Reduxed

I can't access picture-in-picture anymore. I think it's maybe reserved for youtube premium

JRCortez

For me, it was a tough watch in theaters. I had a cousin who had severe cerebral palsy, and this movie reminded me so much about him. I am going to pass on this reaction…..

Brooke

I appreciate your openness and vulnerability when speaking about personal issues. This movie completely destroyed me the first time I watched it, which was at least 20 years ago. I love those kind of movies though.. I don’t know you from Adam, but I know you well enough to know you’re doing everything you can for as many people as you can so don’t be so hard on yourself. Blessings to your son and your whole family, and you guys will be just fine🥰

Brooke

Also, Life According to Garp is in my top three Robin Williams movies. Check it out!💕

Walter

World According to Garp - it's one of my favorites too! With Glenn Close and John Lithgow - great movie.

Steve Holton

Sorry for your loss John. Best wishes to your family during this difficult time.

K, Zachary

Many people here know that my gf is a ARNP in pediatric intensive unit. When she heard Cassie's story. Her eyes got big. Encephalitis is a inflammation of the brain can caused by variety of things again she doesn't want to invade anyone's privacy but she knew exactly what you were talking about. The full name spelled out using mnemonics is a type of bear. Or what we have hanging on our walls in our kitchen. She said more but again. She told me to write you an email rather than go through it here. She sees from time to time they usually diagnose it make sure it's that. Put them on a certain type of antibiotics and then send them to neurology. We were really touched by your story. It took courage to say what you did. Shouldn't feel embarrassed. She said that tears fall for a reason they're your strength not weakness. Great performances all around by Robin Williams and Robert Deniro. Great movie to watch. Now both of us have to be in the IC. So we need to hit the hay.

Ian A

My severely mentally disabled uncle passed a few months ago. Leonard and his mom is EXACTLY like him and my grandma. Visiting everyday and helping to take care of him, until the end, even though she is 98 yrs old and he was in his mid 60's. Mom and son always.

Dan M

I just finished watching your reaction to this movie…and I wish I could give you a hug.

Chris Thom

Hope you'll let us now if your family ever needs help with medical expenses. You have 500k plus followers on YouTube and lots here on Patreon. I know I and many others would be willing to pitch in if you ever need. So many conditions are more treatable than they've ever been, so there's plenty of hope to go around. But I know doctors are expensive as hell. Wish you all the best! Your sister is adorable. I'm sure she appreciates every moment she gets to spend with you and your parents and her siblings.

Chris Thom

I never knew it existed until fairly recently. Probably discovered it from this channel or somewhere on the reactoverse.

Chris Thom

Sorry for your loss. I know he was so lucky to have you and his mom.

Ian A

Thank you. Unfortunately he lived quite far away and I only really got to visit with him a handful of times when I was younger. Always remember he wanted hugs all the time and loved watching the 3 stooges TV specials.

Jacob Lunbeck

Some movies will hit some people harder than others. Nothing to be embarrassed about. For me it's military movies that focus on the family back home. Terribly sorry your son is having to deal with those issues but glad he has a family with love. Sending prayers his way.

Paul Ark

Just a quick call out for the deeply under appreciated Julie Kavner (Nurse Eleanor), best known as the voice for Marge Simpson, especially because you just watched Hank Azaria (voice of Apu, Moe, Chief Wiggums, and innumerable others) with Robin Williams in The Birdcage.

Old As Dirt Bert

I saw Awakenings when it was released. It reminded me of Charly, a 1968 film I also saw when released to which I had a reaction stronger than I expected. I think that '68 experience lessened the impact of Awakenings for me. I was more affected by Cassie's reaction, initially assuming it was all about her sister. Cassie, my family wishes the best for your family. You delight us with so many reactions, it's hard to imagine the challenges you noted. Perhaps your patrons could be a bit more sensitive about what we vote for in the future. I'd rather have you as you were after Philadelphia Story than upset by things too close to home.

JPDotCom23

I was fortunate enough to have seen this in theatres when it first came out. DeNiro, as always, was phenomenal, as was the late great Robin Williams. You want to see more great piece of acting by Williams, check out 'The Fisher King', for DeNiro, perhaps his greatest performance of all; 'Raging Bull'.

Shehab Dawoud

Nothing to be embarrassed about. Thank you for sharing, and hope everything turns out well with your son. Maybe this outtake from the film will cheer you up. I think Robin Williams might be the only person who could make a serious method actor like De Niro break character and laugh hysterically https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UBtEPQKyRE

Rick Rodriguez

Awakenings is one of my favorites and I was greatly looking forward to Cassie watching it. I feel a little ashamed that I was excited for her reaction when it turned out to be a much more personal viewing for her. Like others have stated, she has nothing to be embarrassed about, and her openness, love, and the courage of her son are beyond. Thank you, Cassie.

Mark White

+1 for Lorenzo’s Oil. Very good, emotional movie.

marc five

'Lorenzo's Oil' also came up for me as well.

Mark White

Oh Cassie, I’m with Dan, just want to give you a hug. These reactions are both amazing and tough to watch. I just hope your Son gets well soon. There is nothing to be embarrassed about, your emotions are what makes you who you are and is a privilege for us Patreons to watch. You are a wonderful person Cassie❤️

Clarence Newman

I'll wait for the YT edit on this one, but it's a really good film. DeNiro and Williams are superb and Julie Kavner is a delight. I haven't listened to Cassie's outro yet, but I know already that she doesn't need to be embarrassed. Rain Man and Cinderella Man hit her the same way, making her outros on both very emotional. It's the truth of how she feels when subject matter touches close to home, and it's a privilege when she shares. We're never going to judge her for it, that's for sure.

Above Average Dave

Interesting fact that recently came to light: the lat Oliver Sacks (i.e., not Hollywood) dramatically sanitized the history of Leonard Lowe, the character played by Robert De Niro. Apparently far from the model, intellectually curious and "normal" man he was supposed to be before the onset of his condition. Instead, he was a predator of the worst sort. Why Sacks would do this in his supposed case study of the patient is open to conjecture, but it has draw into question the accuracy of many of his other writings now, several of which have been found to have similar "alterations." Specifically, many of the key details in "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" regarding the cases titled "Rebecca" and "The Twins" were significantly altered not just for sympathetic or dramatic effect, but he changed important case details that other research was subsequently built on.

Clay F

First watch. There were uplifting aspects, but I wasn't expecting a sad movie (esp. a true story) and terrifying in sense of being brought out of that state to only go back in. "How kind is it to give life and then take it away?" I guess maybe better than nothing. But what a dreadful tease. I am glad I watched the movie b/c of the De Niro awesome acting -- but even then, no real relief, e.g., not a person but "a collection of ticks." I liked the kindness of Dr. Sayer. I like how the staff gave checks ($) for the initial dose for the group. I like how maybe the staff treated the group even better in the long run after interacting with the group when they were out of that state.

Paul Cox

I'd never heard anything about this, so I spent about 20 minutes searching for unsavory information online about Leonard Lowe every which way I could think of and came up with absolutely nothing. If you're gonna swing around accusations like this one, you'd better come with references.

Above Average Dave

I remember reading this a while back, but found some references for your pretty quickly, Paul: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/12/15/oliver-sacks-put-himself-into-his-case-studies-what-was-the-cost https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15388461/British-scientist-Oliver-Sacks-fabricated-details-books-patients.html https://johnhorgan.org/cross-check/oliver-sacks-fudged-facts-does-that-bother-me Paraphrased from The New Yorker article: Sacks described some accounts as “pure fabrications,” “fairy tales,” or a form of “symbolic ‘exo-graphy’” / “autobiography” in which he projected his own experiences onto patients, giving them “powers (starting with powers of speech) which they do not have.” He expressed “severe, long-lasting, self-recrimination” and a sense of “hideous criminality” over these changes, especially in Awakenings, and greater guilt after The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat.

Paul Cox

Ok thanks. That's awful to learn!

Above Average Dave

I was kind of shocked-but-not-shocked. I worked at a few elite universities over the years, and have known or known of some pretty esteemed people who lied about research or worse. I also wrote a best seller in the late 1990s and can tell you there are some pretty unscrupulous editors out there who are more than OK with pushing fabrications on authors (or, not doing any fact-checking in "non-fiction" if they think it will sell large amounts of books— see "A Million Little Pieces," which may be the most famous example of this. The author got rich and then revealed he made up the most compelling parts, which called into question the parts he said were "all or mostly true."). One of my friends who is also a published author is pretty sure Sacks would not gotten his initial book deal without the significant fabrications making his cases go from interesting but not unusual clinical findings in his field to "amazing cases with amazing outcomes." Kind of sad. Does not discount that this was a great movie. Just sad about Sacks mixing fraudulence with actual compelling science.

Milton Reduxed

The world needs legends, myths & heroes I suppose. We want to believe You may have mentioned it before but what is your author name?

Eddie Perkins

I believe Robin Williams reflected deeply on this film near the end of his life, struggling with fear and depression as he lost control over his body and mind. I've heard of this movie before, but I've never watched it. It exceeded my expectations and was much sadder. Seeing Cassie get upset more than usual over a sad movie made me realize it was hitting close to home somehow, which made it even more emotional. This movie reminded me a bit of The Elephant Man and another Robin Williams film called Patch Adams. Both are great.

keoma songs

I never expected the Hollywood version to be close to an objective reality. At best it could represent some real patients in troubled shape who had a real reaction to a new drug treatment, and that was enough for me. The potential broad takeaway about not ignoring patients or a continued goal of treatment isn't changed by the details, real or imagined. And that is the important heart of the movie for me. It's a fictionalized movie, not a documentary, and documentaries frequently have their own problem with narratives and how they shape 'truth'. Even the revelations about the real Leonard I hesitate to take at face value, they are no less impervious to scrutiny than Sacks should be. There's seems to be writing from first hand observers, though from later, that would cast doubt on anyone being of a sound enough mind to write anything coherently. The patients ability to be self aware about their desires as recalled by Sacks is dubious with his using his own previous lines as their words ("my blood is champagne"). Was it really the words of Leonard, or was it via transcription or worse, something similar to the debunked phenomena of "facilitated communication", which the movie more or less replicates with the ouija board? Just as a long comatose patient would be unlikely to quote the same obscure poetry his doctor had in previous letters, I would have the same skepticism that someone described as previously normal by his family would truthfully and gleefully report on violent attacks of a certain nature. I was going to research it more, but the author of the New Yorker article somehow manages to quote it without naming it or listing it as a reference anywhere. Maybe it's in the print version as a footnote. But I have to say that an article detailing how an author embellished, fabricated, misrepresented, or otherwise fabulized their work ... For that article to not explicitly make that information known in the body of the article is very sad to me. It wouldn't have been hard to just write, "The real life Leonard wrote his autobiography under the name _____, titled XYZ". How can an audience know this to be true? Isn't it just as easy for a writer for The New Yorker to fabricate quotes from a real or unreal book to shape a narrative? Anyways, I compare Sacks to someone like Stephen Ambrose who wrote Band of Brothers, which was apparently riddled with inaccuracies and invented parts despite having all the documentation or interviews with participants at the ready, for some reason the fraud parts made it. Why writers can't stick to the easy facts is a mystery.

Above Average Dave

This is EXACTLY why I wrote Amistad as historical fiction, even though I did all the research to do a non-fiction book (I actually uncovered some new facts from source material that researchers were interested in). The premier historian on the event, Howard Jones, gave me great credit for sticking to the facts and even wrote a blurb for the book, but there were parts that were just incomplete, and I needed dialogue to bring such a complex event to non-historian audiences (like me 😁). So, instead of trying to pass off stuff as research—and, in retrospect, I could've gotten almost any fabrication passed the editors if I wanted—I decided to do a faithful historical fiction treatment. Apparently a lot of the NYorker article is based directly on Sacks' diaries and notes, which were accessed after he died. A shame, but the movie is still inspiring and entertaining.

Brett Richey

You've said everything I needed to say about this reaction.

Brett Richey

I can't find the proper words to express my feelings about this reaction. I've seen it about a dozen times over the years. But, watching it with Cassie - the first time I've watched it with someone else, and who was so affected by it in such a way... broke my heart the most. I've always had empathy while watching on previous occasions (obviously, I'm not a robot)... but this was something much more painful. That outro is nothing to be embarrassed about, Cassie. I'm lucky to not have anything like that in my real life... as of yet... fingers crossed. Love to you, your sister, your son, and your mum... the nurse who's helped thousands of people be well again. You have a wonderful family. Things might not be perfect, but you're all perfectly wonderful. X

Chris Thom

Yeah I didn't know it would hit that close to home. Feel a bit ignorant for suggesting it. It's a fascinating story though. And amazing performances.

Chris Thom

Probably a top five of the most emotional reactions she's ever done.

Terry Yelmene

I simply didn't think any movie was going to personally hurt our Cassie as much as Rain Man did. But this one... this one absolutely wrecked her... wrecked her... (me too), Yet somehow, Cassie respectfully experienced this one in the warmest and most endearing way imaginable. Best of all... Cassie's quick little quip; "He had to see about a girl" made the whole reaction... the best! Awakenings is easily one of the best PiB reactions I've seen over the last 4 years. Can't wait for 'Fried Green Tomatos' for Cassie.

Stephen Dias

This is a great movie with great performances. I don't want to make light of it, or what Cassie is going through, but as I was watching it, I couldn't help but think of one of the funniest stand-up routines I've ever seen, Billy Connolly's "Pale Blue Scottish Person." He has something to say about this movie, especially about the drug, L-Dopa.

CarSVernon .

I really recommend Insomnia for Bad guy Williams (I think the other movie he's a villain in, One Hour Photo, is just an uncomfortable unfun watch). Another RW movie I really really recommend is Moscow on the Hudson, it is very unknown and underrated but easily one of his best performances.

CarSVernon .

Also has Cassie watched A League of their own? Another great Penny Marshall movie

Chris Thom

She's already seen it. Gets requested a ton.

CarSVernon .

I think he was also prescribed a similar drug when they misdiagnosed his illness as parkinsons

T J

My heart aches. I knew about your sister, but not your son. Just want you to know that there are many of us you'll never meet that care for and love you. Thank you for sharing your situation with us. You don't have to carry this burden alone. I offer my thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

Mojo One Thousand

Cassie, there is nothing you should be embarrassed about reacting you way you do. If a movie is not moving one in some way, particularly this type of movie, then it probably isn't doing its job properly. Having some personal perspective, as you do, can heighten that resonance. I know I would have had a different reaction if I had seen this as a younger person I knew about this movie, but had never seen it. Hope all is going well with your little fella and tour sister. Also liked that a young Bradley Whitford got a "Josh" call out. Funnily, I just saw a bunch of him in a rewatch of the Sorkin follow-up "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip", which I finished the day before watching this reaction.

Clarence Newman

The only one I would add (and strangely not something that hit her on a personal level - purely due to character engagement) is Ford v Ferrari. That one wrecked her.

Scott Macaulay

These types of movies exist to educate people that don't have these experiences. People that have tragedy and trauma feel these feelings for real and don't need to be reminded of how they feel. For me I can't watch a movie that involves dementia or Parkinson's as I lived both those experiences with my mom and dad. God bless.

Phillip Bates

Cassie, It was obvious that this was a hard watch for you but your reaction and the things you talked about in your outro were coming from a real place and that means something, which is why this was so special. I agree... each film touches people differently, depending on your personal experiences and situation. And this one hit close for you. Like you said, if nothing else, it provided a glimpse that there are those out there fighting for those who can't fight for themselves. And that is comforting and heroic. And your comment about nurses hit close, as well, and it's 100% true. They are the unsung heros. I loved this movie and the performances by Robert De Niro and Robin Williams were both outstanding, although very different. To hear you say that you had received such positivity and empathy from your community was heartwarming and it makes me proud to be a part of that. All the best to you and your family.

MacGuffinStuff

Just first off I have to say I'm so sorry for the troubles you and your family are experiencing Cassie, wishing and praying all the best for all of you. Awakenings, I had held off watching this for a couple of days because I've seen it and knew it was a great movie, very sweet and endearing, a Penny Marshall movie, but also kind of tragic, I saw it as a kid and I remember I was sad, then glad, then even sadder, but I got the point, I'd rather have a day in the sun even knowing I'd probably never see it again. And I think this movie, much as it made my eyes, they were like sweaty, it's been pretty warm lately in Southern California, De Niro was amazing, there is no way, he may look the same, have the same accent, no way that's the same guy... He was in Awakenings and Goodfellas the same year, 1990. Casino and Heat, both 1995. Can't do accents, has the same smile, but otherwise he's better at fooling the viewer than Clark Kent.

Chris Thom

I didn't discover the United 93 reaction on the channel until fairly recently, but that one definitely hit hard for her. I always forget about that movie.

MacGuffinStuff

Oh I just read that on the post, please don't feel embarrassed Cassie. You're being real and I can relate, personally I was thinking of my Uncle Al (Alberto), he was a great man, didn't seem fair what happened to him. Your honest reaction and your mom, a nurse (as a vet I thank HER for her 40 years of service), and the nurses and other staff pitched in, paychecks (?), and they still don't get paid as they should for what they do for us.

jreagan56

So sorry for your pain and worry. Just know there are a lot of us out here in your corner..

Rick Williams

Cassie never feel embarrassed or bad for getting emotional. This movie brought out strong feelings in you because you could relate it to things in your own life. It brought out your emotions and fears. This was a powerful movie. But, for you it was even more powerful because you could relate it to real people in your life. You don't need to try and hold back or suppress your feelings while reacting. You are a sweet and wonderful person. I am so sorry you are having to go through these painful things. God bless you, Cassie.

Taspens

Anyone know why the embedded YT full reactions just arent working? Says I need to sign in. Tried everything, cant seem to watch and full reactions. RIP

Clay F

Seems like Clarence had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago. The YT full reaction (link below) works fine for me. Does not say I need to sign in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1Rt3v48A4U I hate that you are dealing with this. I know must be frustrating. Maybe will resolve itself in time.

Mike Lemon

Because YouTube sucks. General trouble shooting- -If you are using a VPN, try turning it off. (YouTube occasionally hates VPNs for some reason, but it usually clears up in a week or so) -If you are on mobile, try using a regular computer. (I don't know why, but YouTube gives me that stupid message on mobile sometimes.) -Next step if neither of those worked is try turning off any adblockers. (YouTube HATES ad blockers, and sometimes "blocks" the site if you are using one. Make sure auto updates are on to keep everything working.) -If nothing else works, delete all YouTube cookies, restart device (not needed but good practice), sign into YouTube, and try again.

Mike Smith

Cassie. You are beloved. NEVER, ever feel embarrassed.

Alexis Vorian

I hadn't cried like this in a long time. Cassie you're a treasure and deserve all the best.
