JOHN Q (2002) MOVIE REACTION * FIRST TIME WATCHING* HIS SON WAS ALL THAT MATTERED!! 

“Im not going to bury my son. My son is gonna bury me” chills every time

No matter how many times I've seen this film, and I've seen it countless times, it never ceases to make me cry. Extremely powerful, Denzel is one of the world's greatest actors of our time.

It's impossible NOT to cry watching John Q. It's a classic film.

Devin: "I'm not a crying ass dude" Those of us who been here for a while: "yeah bro, we ain't snitching"

Man On Fire is one of Denzel Washington's best performances in my opinion. It's a forgotten masterpiece of his talent.

This makes everybody cry. If you don’t cry then you are heartless. Very powerful movie

We all love that you aren't afraid to cry. Keep being 100% you brother. Thanks for sharing as always.

A real man has the confidence to shed a tear when something effects him greatly.

Saw this film as a kid. One of the eye opening films about how cruel the system is.

The joy in a little boy's eyes shines in his father's heart. A son is the clearest reflection of his father in the world. A son who is loved by his father becomes a father who loves his son. A father may only be a dad for a little while, but he is a son's hero forever.

That scene when John’s wife is at the ER door crying out it’s a miracle John they found a heart and John has the gun pointed at his head….. OMG the emotions just be rushing through and I always get choked up

This is how I feel about my kids, been raising them for the past 14 yrs on my own. Told their mom that I don't want child support from her. I would do anything for my kids.

The ending scene from this movie gets me every time. When his son stops him to say "thank you" as he is being sent off to prison. That gets be balling in tears to wear I literally need tissues to pull myself back together.

This movie is so underrated! It's such a beautiful story of family, and yet there's so few people now adays who know about it. Thanks for helping to share all that's good about this movie with the world, and let those tears fall! Real men aren't afraid to cry

I think that this movie is one of Denzel's greatest movies and it shows the reality of the medical industry...prob why it doesnt get the credit its due.

This is such a powerful movie!! Its insane how getting sick is instant debt for so many people.

John Q gives me the feels everytime. Hands down my favorite Denzel movie

Gosh I had to comment again When John is saying goodbye to his son and trying to compact a lifetime of lessons into one discussion. Makes me cry my eyes out 🙏🏻😢🥲

As a man, I’ not ashamed to say I cry every time I watch this movie. I have a little one myself and I couldn’t imagine going through something like this. I pray for those that have went through something like this or are currently going through it. Great reaction video! Thanks

John Q is a masterpiece and very emotional

You would have to be heartless to not be emotionally effected by this one. Denzel is AMAZING in this film.

Loving your reactions brother! Keep keeping it real and much prosperity to you!

I can totally see my Dad doing something like this for any one of my siblings and myself. He's a great hardworking man that is the gentlest soul I have ever known. But I have seen him mad once. And my mom told me that it wasn't even close to when she saw him enraged once. And when she says something scares her, it's extremely bad.

Yes man! Never be afraid of crying. Be a real human. Human cries.

finally someone reacted to this movie.. my most favourite from Denzel!

This is my favorite Denzel movie. His acting in this movie was amazing.

Man this movie was powerful!! It will make any grown person cry.

It's okay to cry. I do too through emotional movies and I'm also a vet like you. It just means we have a heart and empathy. Doesn't make us less of men at all.

Damn, D. You got me. I haven't watched this since before my kids were born. In September of last year my youngest (15 mos at the time) was hospitalized with that latest "tridemic" virus. He ended up getting pneumonia. At the same time the Pediatric ICU was flooded with children. To the point that they had to reroute cases to other hospitals. I saw little ones getting put on respirators. Heard families screaming because their kid didn't make it. It was the damn scariest thing I've ever been through. I would have easily given my life for him in that moment. I don't think there's a movie that better expresses that love than John Q. It pisses me off that Denzel won for Training Day, but not John Q.

Honestly, it's the people who can watch something like this and NOT feel some kinda way that I'm worried about...not a guy who's willing to show his emotions, nothing at all wrong with that. Keep up the good work

Watched this in theaters. When he was giving his son the speech, I was breathing in deep and slow trying to control my emotions, then I realized that same sound was coming from all over the theater

I cried my eyes out to this too, such an emotional roller coaster of a movie and with a phenomenal actor like Denzel who is probably one of my favourite all time actors. So very well done.

I think as we get older, the weight of experiences hit us harder which makes us more likely to show our emotions. Crying isn’t a bad thing, shows we have love in us.

I saw this movie when it first came out and the lengths this father went to in order to save his son's life is absolutely incredible and touched the very depths of my heart. I know this is a true story and don't think this father should've gotten any flack for doing what any loving parent would do. I cannot believe this childs parents would have to pay so much money coming up with 75,000 in order to put a child on a recipient list etc and He did the right thing. I'd walk across fire, glass and to the end of earth for my sons.

This film is the first time I saw my husband cry and that was even before we had kids

Keep reactions coming. Watch you more than I do tv...gotta react to " the fugitive, the revenant, and the departed.. if you haven't seen any of these. I'm telling you. All off the chain

As someone from the UK I think this film was the first time I realised that the US had a different health care system from us and that it was dependent on money and not health. Truly disgusting.

I love this movie so much!! VERY EMOTIONAL but watching Denzel play this character is such a treat. If you haven’t seen “The Hurricane” it’s a really good underrated movie he’s in.

A father's love knows no bounds brother. As a father myself, there are no lengths I wouldn't go to for my son. The minute my son leaves this world before me, my purpose is over, but I will do anything to make sure that never happens, A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G.

One of my favorite Denzel Washington movies 🎥 they don’t talk about this one enough for me ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks Dear ❤️❤️❤️

Somebody else already mentioned Man on Fire, another awesome and underated Denzel performance. I would also recommend Inside Man if you haven't seen it, both are def some of his best!

I’ve watched this movie 9 times and I’ve cried 27 times…lol Denzel did a great job like always great movie..

This is so cool that you’re reacting to this movie. This movie is so underrated and virtually no one reacts to it. Way to be unique and give us this gift. Thank you! Denzel is magnificent in this 💯

One of my favorite films, don't watch it that often but every five years or so I give it a viewing, silent cry every damn time.

Real men cry, pally. You're good! Goddamn this movie gets me still... haven't seen it in like 15 years and forgot so much of it, thanks for the walk down memory lane! Where's my damn tissues now...

Horribly under appreciated film.

I love your reactions, they're honest and you show your feelings, and the fact that you choose movies that not all the other reactors are doing makes your channel a joy ! Keep searching out the less obvious movie gems, there's so many out there that no one reacts to

I feel where those medical execs are coming from. In my job working the finances for International patients at the largest hospital in the US sometimes it is my job to tell people no, they can't have that treatment because it's financially infeasible. As a person it kills me and I've found it's easier for me and honestly for the patient to just be matter of fact about it. Inside I just wish I had an option to get them what they wanted but we can't be everything for everybody. It's one of those 90/10 situations where 90% of my job it fine and I enjoy the interactions with people but man that 10% hits real hard.

I Just watch that movie last night for the second or third time, in my Life and now I was interested about the reaction of orhers. I also cried, ...I am someone who cant cry...but i honestly want to cry, to cry in a healing way, releasing pain..Love ❤️🙏✨

Bro, You are my favorite reactor on RU-vid. My lady says you and me sound so alike that when I'm watching one of your reactions, she thinks I'm downstairs watching a movie!

A movie barely talked about. Awesome luck here sir. This one touched the heart. Please watch Jerry Maguire 🙌🏼🙌🏼

This movie bro. I'm a 32 year old man and this is one of those movies that gets the tears flowin. Incredible acting performance by Denzel you felt for him so damn much. Much love!

I'm glad you loved John Q as well. It is one of my top two favorite Denzel Washington movies (the other one is Inside Man) Fun Fact: Denzel Washington was the first choice to play John Archibald, if he had said "no" they would have gone for Tom Hanks, but Denzel Washington loved the script, said, "yes" and the rest is history. Another Fun Fact: Kimberly Elise's (Denise Archibald) father is one of the jurors in court. As a Canadian I was surprised that the Americans did not adopt the same kind of healthcare system that my country has after this movie came out.

I saw this movie after I was in a very terrible motorcycle accident, I spent months in the hospital a underwent many surgeries. Then came years in a wheelchair and more years of therapy. The entire time I was fighting for my life and to a lesser extent worried about losing .y limbs ,I had to go through hell worrying about and fighting over the money the hospital was trying to squeeze out of me!!! I fortunately had an attorney that assured me we had an open and shut case. But the heartless hospital would not let the whole money situation go. I even assured them along with my attorney that the hospital bills would be the first bills paid. They still made my life a living hell for the entire time. So this movie really hit a nerve with me ,understanding exactly how heartless and money hungry hospitals can be....thank goodness the settlement was indeed open and shut in record time. And the hospital bills were indeed the first bills paid....I hope they were happy about that.

Thanks for this reaction amazing movie

Had to watch this movie in 11th grade English class. Probably one of the best movies I ever had to write an essay on. Such a great movie.

Man, dont feel bad. I love seeing you cry because it shows how much heart you have. I cry with you my friend. Keep showing your heart.

Im so happy for your reaction and so mad no other youtuber has attempted this!!! It really is one of the greatest.

The dr that’s “always a bad guy” was actually a pretty cool hero in a John Carpenter’s vampires. Hands down one of the dopest joints from the 90s

That's dope asf that you reacted to this movie. In my early 20s I worked with school age kids. I actually worked with Daniel Smith at a before and after school program when he was a kid filming this movie. Him and his mom had moved to LA for him to shoot the film and his father and brother still lived in Az. His brother continued going to the before and after school program and every once in a while Daniel and his mom would come back to visit. I've seen the real full script of this movie and had the picture of Daniel, Denzel and the woman who played his mom that's pinned to the wall during the scene where Denzel is sitting in his room.

FINALLY 😎 I’ve been looking for someone to react to this movie

Denzel is such a good actor! He really makes you feel every emotion that his character feels deeply, and it never seems like he is faking any of it. I love watching him play a conflicted character

It's just shocking that 20 years later, this still could very easily happen.

Howdy from north Texas again!!! Well done brother!!! Keep up the great work!

The fact that you are human and you aren't afraid to cry just got you another subscriber. You are right. It's worth it. Don't lose that kind heart. I love you all the more for those tears.

I absolutely love this story! This made my day man, as you often do! I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. It’s been great watching your channel grow! You’re a damn good man G🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

One of Denzel's best films! ✌️

Devin, you're a good man. God bless you.

Game changer!!! You were one of the inspirations to start my channel bro! Keep going! 💪🏾💪🏾

Love your videos, keep em coming

You continue to surprise me with your choices Devin! Another good, emotional kind of film that's kind of overlooked, I think. Denzel was excellent as always in this, as was the rest of the cast, a lot of legendary actors like James Woods and Robert Duvall. It's crazy to me that it received mostly negative reviews from most critics when it came out, yet did fairly well at the box office. I guess the critics weren't able to put themselves in John's shoes and think about what they may have done in this situation. Another crazy thing is that it was at least partly inspired by a true event, something very similar happened in Toronto a few years before this came out, a man held an ER hostage when they wouldn't give his infant son immediate care on New Years Eve. When he exited the ER he was shot and killed by police only to be found to have been carrying a simple pellet gun that wasn't even loaded. Tragic. Regardless, enjoyed your reaction, and I still have my fingers crossed that you may react to Lord of War(2005) with Nicholas Cage one of these days, just gonna keep on asking til you do. Until then, peace out, my dude!😁

You kiddin! I always cry at this movie no matter how many times I’ve seen it! Nothing wrong with that either

This movie brings every emotion out of me. Love you Dev🥰

Bro. Your subscribers are comin in hot! Congrats bro! Road to 100k! Let’s go.

I saw you cry at the end of Gran Torino as well. Nice to see dudes able to express emotion like that with movies like this.

16:10) i believe that line about being a vampire is actually a joke towards a movie that James Woods (the doctor) was the lead role, which was "(John Carpenter's) Vampires" (1999). This movie was 2002.

Brother, no one thinks anything bad about u cryin, I’m a single dad of daughters thst are my life , I was crying too . It’s awesome you let your emotions flow brother! It’s human! Right there with ya! Oh brotha I love this movie! Forgot about this! As a dad ❤️THIS would be me for my girls. Love your content still brotha!!!

I definitely need to rewatch this film. Thanks for the reaction bro!

This movie always makes me cry too gets me everytime

Man great reaction!!! And great movie.... keep up the god work.... love your videos....

I had tears in my eye just watching you.

You really picked a good one this time, I’ve seen this movie more times than I can count. Very good movie

"I'm human I'm not afraid to cry." Thank you brother, we need more of that!

There's a reason people recommend these movies, they're very well done and very touching and connect with people on a lot of levels. Not every movie connects with every person, but when you're watching so many good ones that handle so many subjects you come across some that just resonate. It's part of what's great about reaction content is seeing what touches which person, a movie you might cry at another person won't feel anything and a movie that didn't touch you at all could have someone else in tears. You always are able to empathize with movies that show love and sacrifice and loss and that tells us about who you are, what you've been through, what you value, and how you see the world.

Good analysis man!

Bro your reactions are the best plain and simple. Been enjoying your channel for a minute

I love this movie, Brother. Thank you for reacting on this emotional and moving movie. What John Q had to do for his young son "WHO WOULDN'T". 😢🙏🏽✝️💖💯

This film is near and dear to me. I watched my son die to leukemia. I'm a 20 year veteran cop. If you could tell me I could have Jake here, doing the same thing. I'd do the time. With a smile on my face.

This movie is so hard for me to watch. The frustration I have here in the states with our healthcare system will always hit home for me.

I absolutely love watching your reactions❤ i appreciate your honest emotions

I'm right there with you I'm 6 ft not as big as u but I'm a bit muscular & have tattoos & as many times as I've seen this i never not cried. Even when watching reactions I mean when he says I'm not gonna bury my son my son is gonna bury me even just now typing it im starting to tear up. I'm damn proud of it too I'm glad I got the empathy to cry even when its just a movie. That just shows how good the acting, writing & directing is in a film.

I am so glad you watched this ❤️

This movie right here is why I love Denzel Washington

It's ok...everyone cries on this movie

Best reaction ever. I cried with you ❤️

Always hoped you would watch this movie. Great reaction as always!

That's a great movie. A father's love is amazing !!

This channel has the most genuine reactions i love it.

Imo this is one of Denzel's most underrated films I never really hear ppl talk about John Q when they speak about his best performances its always films like Man on Fire, Training Day, Equalizer 1 & 2 etc... & don't get me wrong those are amazing films but this is right up there with them

I've seen this movie several times and I've never cried during it, but this is the first time I've thought about it since I had kids (a 2 and a 4 year old) and even these few scenes you have here had me crying at least 3 times.
