In Italy the film has been distributed with the title "Come un Tuono", that is in English "Like a Thunder", taken from this sentence. Generally, the original title of a movie is always better, but in this case I prefer the Italian one. I think it's more representative.
The ending made me cry my eyes out, how I grew up with no dad, and because of it had alot of anger issues and at 20 ended up in prison. This movie just made me think how if I had a better father figure in my life, maybe my life would of turned out differently. And also how getting to know my dad now at 30, how his flawed characteristics back then somehow still found a way into my own downfalls when i went to prison, drugs, crime, fast life style. This movie will always impact my life in a positive light and I can't wait to show it to my son when he's old enough
Luke’s life is a series of bad decisions... he’s not a bad person, he just doesn’t know how to make the good choices. And all of this had bad consequences on him and his entire family. Such a tragic story. But such a masterpiece movie 💚
Yeah and we know he has no education and maybe no good parents around hence he is a drifter. His life could have been different otherwise. AJ and Jason have a better home environment so they are more protected at least
Kira Hi ! First of all I’m not american, I don’t live in America and I don’t support Trump 😅 that is a lot of judgement just reading a simple comment on RU-vid haha. What I have said in my comment is the fact that you can see he’s kind and wants to do his best for his family. Of course bank robbery and punching someone in the face is not a good behaviour. This is just a messed up man, trying to do the good things but taking bad decisions. Now take a deep breath and calm down 😉
@Kira i mean there characters that are forced criminals, which luke kinda is, that doesn't excuse the fact he is a bank robber, but reluctant villains are better (until his last robbery)
He held his son and knew in that instant he would give his life up for him. He wasn't a bad man, just a man who loved his son more than he loved himself 😔
@@hyhy7478 yes they do , this movie of am extreme example. But parents usually give up their dreams for their children's dream , my mother gave her life up completely to raise me. If it ever happens to me I'd have to go back to where I made the most money instead of this simple delivering chinese on a night
In case you haven't seen them... James Gray has great movies about fathers and sons in his filmography. You can start in order with "Little Odessa" from 1994, Tim Roth and Edward Furlong are great in it.
first time i saw this scene i felt like nostalgic or something, I almost cried, like if you are just trying to do well in life but life is just trying to drown you down
It's also where this song comes in. Looked for the song just because of this scene. Been nearly a year apart from my boyfriend 9000miles away because of covid, I ride with him, and this song in that moment hit really hard how alone I am without him. I messaged to tell him.
In this story, he is always getting the short end of every situation,and all he wants is a chance to take care of what he loves, and he keeps getting shot down. He loves hard, and he's such a genuine person, most people wouldn't do what he does in this just out of love,he doesn't think about the consequences,all that matters is that he's son will be taken care of,and he just wanted a role in doing that. It was really heart breaking 💔 and this track is so sad and beautiful, it fits the way he mustve been feeling.
Feel absolutely the same and in a Kind of way I'm in the same situation......but for real and unfortunately my life is no movie.......thanks for your comment, appreciate that someone feels the same in this scene like i Do......greetings from germany
This movie is so unknown but so incredible. I've had the pleasure of introducing it to a few people and they all agreed it's fantastic, but had never even heard of it.
This will go down as one of the best movies i've ever seen , they had too much balls to kill luke in halfway through but the story was 10/10 must watch.
I also cry before God, I also have a difficult fate! I am an adult, I’m soon 30, but before God I cry like a little child! My plans, dreams seem very far away, I haven’t accomplished anything in my life. I believe that tomorrow or today my prayer will be heard.😔😔😔😔
do you know that moment when you can't take control of your body or emotions, and you suddenly start smiling and feel that heat inside of you from happiness, that's exactly what I felt in the course of watching this piece of art 23 times now. To describe it more openly, to me this movie is hands down one of the best. Thank you Derek Cianfrance.
My favorite movie of all times. I only cry once per year, and most of the times is because some family member perished. This movie had an effect on me that I can't describe, and now I have cried twice this entire year. Glad to be alive in the same tiny frame of time of this movie.
Everytime he says "you're calling him back!" and this song drops I absolutely lose it. Never cried so hard at a film before. Father's, mother's, sons and life choices. How you're molded by your parents even if you've never met them.
@@Ulowwxrld Ah when Ryan Goslings son puts on his old glasses at the mechanics trailer, his friend says "you're calling him back", meaning he looks like his father wearing the glasses.
Ive never cried harder either.. i watched this and it really made me think about my father. I havent seen him in since i was 10. Im almost 26 now its really started to all come up. He was raised around motorcycles and so was I, but by my step dad. I actually owned the same bike he has in this movie a drz400e and mine was white too. I miss my father.
Dam hits me hard I ride my dirt bike around my town and every time I ride I always hear this song playing through my head and it gets me every time sometimes you think you have it bad but in reality some people don’t even have a dad
I sold my bike a while ago but when I used to ride it was the exact same thing dude. Anytime I felt free just cruising I'd feel this rush and feel like I could hear this song
Not since Hall and Oates has there been such a team...probably the best quote I have ever heard in a movie. Gosling has that magic appeal onscreen and the ability to say everything with just a stare.
Fucking Mike Patton made the score for this movie? I had no idea!! I did not think it was possible to admire him anymore than I already do. What a fucking masterpiece!
I was 16 when i watch this movie, and i got so many health problems ,my mom and dad were in another town and i lived with my grandmom, so yea it remainds me of that. It was a sad time for me ,but i will always like this movie and that melody and also the song "Please stay" from the movie .
As soon as I heard this part of the soundtrack I was crying... I knew that I was watching the *Movie*!! even though Ryan has a small Physical presence he had a huge Narrative Presence.
This movie is so relatable in so many ways without even having to have very similar lives with any of the characters, crazy how invested I got only sharing a few similarities.
Ещё раз убеждаюсь насколько же важна музыка в фильмах. Для передачи эмоции, атмосферы... Под такую музыку как в этом фильме и "картины" Невского бы сошли за кино. Композитору большой респект конечно.
Finally watched this movie -11/2020 & like a lot of the comments here it affected me in many ways; words are hard to describe the feelings. I relate to the characters in numerous ways & I think that’s one of the reasons it’s had a toll on me. Wonderful movie.
This movie describes the feeling of what’s not there in our lives, it perfectly depicts what happens to someone who makes the wrong choices based on their environment not their own morale. Luke gives the dullness of life and it’s apparent emptiness a visual here. That what makes it special to me.
I watched this movie around 10 years ago when I was just a teenager and it stuck with me for some reason specially the scene when luke is enjoying ice cream with his family, Now I am married and have a 1 year old son, I watched this movie tonight and after that I held my son in my arms and started crying..
I finally just watched this and omg it’s a masterpiece everything about it really had me feeling so many emotions I just wished I had experienced it sooner
this movie reminds me my teenage all i has was 250cc tricker, problems, no friend to rely on, heading where the wind blows god i miss and hate those days, those were the only time i can called myself freeman
the part where he is watching another man at the alter holding his son at his christening....breaks my heart! That moment sparks fire in his heart and his paternal instinct to provide for his son was bourne, leading to a path of bad decisions.
after watching this movie i wanted a motorbike sooo bad...the same one he was riding...Suzuki DRZ400 modified.....ive ridden bikes before multiple times but never owned one.......this girl i liked took me out to this new place she was living at with her friend...i live sorta near the city her place was about hour and a half maybe 2 hours away. right near the cliffs and beaches a place called Cape Patterson in Victoria Australia...as we were driving there i could just picture myself riding a bike through there....through intertwining roads and trees that led in to farmland quickly turning into cliffs and beaches with nothing but greenery....fresh air.....she hates me now ..yeh......doesn't want me anywhere near there....but the thought of riding there with her on my back squeezing tightly around my chest and her head rested on my back kept me going....i really loved that girl....she got me out of the bad stuff i was doing...the jobs i was working....i quit them for her....now nothing.....just a stranger whos not wanted to her....
@@datitsdapussy4283 its been months and i still think about her. theres this new girl im seeing, shes real great and all and makes me happy but idk i haven't felt that "spark" with her. ive been on quite the journey since the last girl. ive had a drug habit for years, Heroin sadly and or course natural course in an emotional stressful situation i used after Nakita. that was her name. went back to using just after i got clean. but ive been on a strange and weird journey. my best mate whos like a brother who ive known since grade 2 got me on DMT. its changed my life but not in the ways i thought. its changed my brain. i still use heroin here and there like an idiot. but idk. its a long story to get in to. my brains different but im still an addict. its almost like after Having DMT and going on that journey multiple times until i reached a breakthrough i see things differently. i question every decision and see the path it lays out in front of me. i question every feeling every thought. its strange. i wont lie though i think opening my mind on psychedelics will help me get clean. its opened my mind a lot. gonna do Acid (LSD) and Shrooms next i went shroom picking with my friend and we found a decent amount. just been a weird journey switch or realisation to me. i know now in the end shit will get better ive realised that through my DMT experience. i spoke and felt beautiful things. il be ok. its just shit for the meantime. i gotta learn to not suppress shit with heroin because its a habit to have it when im feeling blue or something is wrong in life.
I love this film and surprisingly i noticed years later that Mike made the soundtrack,i´m a fan of his art,it was a reason to re-watch it and enjoy it even more.So cool hearing Mike playing music and not only singing which is of course his strongest point.
ES INCREIBLE ...COMO TAN BUENAS PELICULAS DE ESE ACTORAZO GOSLING....QUE SE LLEVA LA PANTALLA....SE HA ARCHIVADO ...TANTAS BUENAS PELICULAS POR AÑOS....ES UNA HISTORIA ...DIGNA DE SOCRATES ❤😙
