it's sad that this movie didn't get the praise it deserves for telling the story of something few people know about & unfortunately was basically swept under the rug even though it was devastating to the families involved & the environmental impact it still has

"You're an 180 billion dollar company and you're cheap" The entire situation summed up in a sentence.

[@Enwaiyre]

The thing is this movie isn't 100% accurate at this. Except for Vidrine and Kaluza there were others who also did big mistakes. One of them Was Mr. Jimmy. He unfortunately wasn't that innocent like he's presented in this movie.

[@michaelgarcia1000]

More issues than what are portrayed in this movie lead to the environmental fallout. One being that the BOP was a Weatherford BOP that didn’t preform as advertised. A huge component was the administration at the time barring well control units from initially being able to go in to fight and isolate the well leading to the environmental disaster is was

When we went to see this in the theaters, there was laughter in the beginning with the jokes, but once the moment happened, it was nothing but silence with tears for the rest of the movie. They did an amazing job with this movie and honoring those who died on the Deepwater Horizon. One of my favorite Mark Wahlberg movies along with Four Brothers.

Please react to "Patriots Day," starring Mark Wahlberg. It's about the Boston Marathon bombing. I was there that horrific day and sustained minor injuries. I can honestly say that this movie was filmed with the utmost respect for all the victims and heroes. It tells the "full" story from every detail. Not just the highlights the news focused on. Rip to Martin, Lingzi, Krystal, Sean, and Dennis. 🥺💙💛

@robertg7396 I (Ari) was born in Boston but my parents had us move when I was still young so we weren’t there when it happened. But I remember seeing the news and being devastated for all the people affected. We’re sorry you had to go through that but we’re glad you’re still with us. Proud of you and all the Bostonians who showed the world their strength and resilience ❤️

[@robertg7396]

​​​@@OfficialMediaKnights Thank you, Ari. It means a lot to me. I appreciate you and Denise so much. You're right when you say how devastating this senseless event was. Yet, at the same time, what came from it is, and was beautiful. Ordinary people, racing into danger to help total strangers, and becoming heroes in the process. All while not knowing if there was more dangers to come. Sacrificing themselves with the love of the human spirit. First responders, police, medical personnel etc. Many of the victims also went on to start charities to continue helping others to this day. This movie, Patriots Day shows all of this. It tells the full story, without having to add a "Hollywood" narrative to it. It is extremely well written, and directed. The acting, the score, cinematography, are all superb. Not to mention a cast of incredible actors. I hope you'll consider adding it to a future reaction. God bless! 😇💙💛

It's horrifying to think about the terror those people on the oil rig went through... This film definitely captured that and was still able to be respectful of the event itself, which is so important!

[@glitzgarcia8281]

Same here.. I only heard about how the disaster affected the enviornment and all the marine life being killed by the oil and all the sea gulls covered in oil.. and I remember how the rig sank and how they tried to seal the pipe that was spilling the oil out

@OfficialMediaKnights Indeed. All because BP wanted to just cut corners and expanded their profit margins

[@fionnmaccumhaill3257]

​@OfficialMediaKnights I work in an industry with one of the highest volumes of on the job deaths. The last job I was on with deaths was the largest job of is type in the western hemisphere, and it had a culmination of 20 different deaths on the job over a couple of years. Most times in my 20 years of experience, deaths and accidents happen when safety is disregarded or comprised because of money issues at the top, just like in this movie. The people at the top put heavy pressure on those below them to hurry up. That almost always comes at the expense of safety.

[@GotWag]

@@OfficialMediaKnights this was less than 5 years after Hurricane Katrina flattened the western MS Gulf Coast (the actual ground zero of Katrina, not New Orleans as the msm reports). To this day there are fishermen/oystermen still being paid by BP for damages, at least in our area anyway. The oil flowed for months into our bays, rivers & bayous.

Some of my friends are in that movie. I worked as a pilot for Bristow Helicopters who did the flying and heliport scenes in the movie. The workers at the heliport were the real employees of Bristow Helicopters and friends of mine. PHI helicopters did the actual flying for the real Deepwater Horizon rig and for BP but they refused to do the movie. As such, Bristow Helicopters did the movie. BTW, the Deepwater Horizon rig was not that far offshore. We regularly fly over 100 NM offshore. I’ve flown on occasion over 200 NM offshore. (I’m a offshore helicopter pilot and Electrical Engineer.)

I saw this movie on SYFY last month and I was shocked that not one of the oil executives went to jail for criminal and safety negligence charges after the oil rig caught fire and it cost the lives of 11 workers. The oil spill cost $65 billion dollars in damages and that the lawsuit cost over $20 billion dollars.

I think part of what makes big time actors work for roles likes this is that in the back of our heads we know that we are looking at people we respect and listening to a story they chose to tell together. It invokes this sort of “the elders are telling a story we should listen” feeling when you have not just famous actors but long respected artists as the face of your film.

[@AudioHomicide]

I worked on the class action lawsuit against BP that resulted from this catastrophe. I know this movie focused on what happen on the rig, but what not many people think about are the local fishing businesses that were destroyed by the tons of oil that filled the gulf. Literally thousands of local fisheries and private businesses on the coast went out of business because of this.

[@t.dig.2040]

The dispirsants they used in the "clean up" were far more toxic than the oil itself.

Yep, I lived in FL when this happened, took the tourism industry nearly a decade to fully recover. And BP never fairly compensated businesses either.

And remember he is her father well technically your stepfather but as far as she's concerned he's her father. He's been her stepfather since she was 3 years old.

Dude! I can't believe someone is finally reacting to this!!!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@FilthTribeFTP]

Kurt Russel's accent in this movie makes him sound like he saying "Semen" instead of "Cement" 😂😂😂 You can't unhear it, watch 😉

[@QuantumJuicE3]

after you guys watched 2012 I was literally going to comment and request that you watch this movie but then I thought, “I’m the only one who likes this movie, I’ve never heard it be on anyone else’s radar so I’m not even going to bother” and then I saw this notification and I was like “no way” lol, I actually really like the soundtrack to this movie. And to add on, since I wasn’t sure of myself to request a movie last time i’ll say now that you guys should watch The Foreigner, I think is very underrated as well.

[@alecmartinez999]

After watching this, y’all will love “Only the Brave”. It’s one of my favorite movies of all time based on a true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots.

Hey guys shout out from your favorite US Marine! I live in Boston and this movie definitely hit home. Walburg really is a little underrated imo. He grew up in Dorchester MA which is next to Quincy Massachusetts where I was born and raised. I used to run around Dot ave. in Dorchester all the time which was Dorchester Ave. I have a friend two friends that live in Huntsville. I'm supposed to be going to see them next year. They've been going through some crazy weather lately. Hope you guys are well! Love your reactions!

[@OrThodinson]

Love you guys reactions. I recommend “Only The Brave” if you liked this movie. True story. Gut wrenching and amazing acting all around

[@lyssmath3720]

You guys might like the Maze Runner movies. They star Dylan O'Brien and are great movies. Based off of books it was quite cool to see how they followed the books as much as they could. In fact this movie series is the only one that I thought did the books justice. I know they can't include everything but the first movie followed the first book so well. I hope you check out that series at some point.

[@spdcrzy]

Oh, man. What a film this was. This and Margin Call are two of the darkest, most accurate, and unnervingly accurate films about their respective disasters.

[@AnastasiaArtDiscovery]

Oh my gosh, yes. I have asked so many times for you guys to watch this one. It is one of my favorites, it just so well made.

[@alexk1018]

The scene where the lil girl is explaining her dads job always makes me cry cuz my dad is also named Mike and work on oil rigs almost my whole childhood. We live off the shore in louisiana and he had just retired when this happened.

[@coachellyn]

Peter Berg and Mark Wahlberg did a BUNCH of movies together for a period there. They were all fantastic and all based on real events-Lone Survivor based on the book, Patriots Day based on the Boston Marathon bombing, and this movie! All so good and so visceral! Highly recommend them all!

[@skh1964]

The most amazing thing is this was filmed in a parking lot of the abandoned six flags in New Orleans. Peter Berg the director is an actor himself and has a cameo getting into a helicopter.

[@NuthinGoodEverHappensAt4AM]

This is one of my favorite disaster movies…Mark Walhberg is amazing and I always love Kate Hudson…THE John Malkovich is stellar as well…parts of it gives me Cherynobl vibes…

[@scottdarden3091]

Dang I can't believe I missed this notification 😢😢 I'm a retired Electronic technician on offshore drilling rigs the part that Mark Wahlberg plays. My son was on one of the first boats to get there and pick up survivors. The whole world needs to know what British Petroleum got away with. Manslaughter charges against BP and the Company man were dropped 😢😢😢 I Am late but I'm still going to try and answer some technical questions you may have 😊 He could name off all the downed equipment because it's the Electronic technician job to troubleshoot everything and decide if it's the electricians responsibility or the mechanics.

[@laurelg9586]

Kurt Russell is so excellent in everything he does...he really needs to be given several retroactive Oscars for all the performances that warranted one--just about every movie! I have loved him since the Travels of Jaime McPheeters in the early 60's! and it only occurred to me, Kate Hudson in his this, too with her dad!

[@JuliePicraux-cq4bz]

I loved the development of our main charecter. It are a degree of authenticity to the story. Kurt Russell also gives a spectacular performance in this as well as in another film called Poseidon. As well as he did in Tombstone and St argate. Another disaster, true story film is 13 Lifes with giggle Jorgensen that i hope to see you guys do as well. Until then have fun and keep the movies rolling

[@pickletickle5144]

Thank you for reacting to this video. Remembered the disaster and oil spill aired on the news, and this movie really conveyed that pretty well. Yall should watch the CSB analysis of deepwater horizon.

[@GraceNoel2222]

Hi Ari!! Hi Denise! Just off to the hospital this morning for a yearly cardiology appointment, feeling nervous, but your videos have definitely helped me through rough times! Thanks you guys!! Can’t wait to see more reactions!! ❤️😁

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Hey Grace! Sending you all the love, you got this! 💪

[@GraceNoel2222]

@@OfficialMediaKnights aw thanks you guys!! ❤️💪🏽

[@svtcontour]

Such an underrated movie. Most people I speak with dont know about it or dismissed it and never watched it. I watched it in my home theater and the sound in insane. The acting and production is a 10/10 IMO

[@SSD_Penumbra]

I always remember my late grandfather telling me about a similar disaster that happened in the 80s in Scotland. The Piper Alpha explosion was extremely similar to the Deepwater Horizon explosion. He was a rigger too and he'd tell me stories of it. Piper Alpha was arguably worse, as the platforms were all connected. When Piper Alpha exploded, it sent a daisy chain of fire to the connected platforms.

[@davosglados1727]

First to react to Twisters, first to react to Deepwater Horizon. Ye are trailblazers! Much respect.

[@dkev001]

It took almost 3 months to cap that well.

[@duncancurtis5108]

John Malkovich stubborn boss is the antagonist in this one, in the vein of the town mayor in 🦈 Jaws.

[@briantology_reacts]

I think this is the first reaction I've seen to this movie, and you guys have quickly become a go to! Thanks!

[@Sorenhawkbell]

I have been waiting since this movie came out for someone to react to it and express their opinions on it! One of my all time favorite movies that I return to every year, It was done so beautifully.

[@tjjordan4207]

I went to go see this movie in theaters with some friends. Experiencing it on the big screen was something else that no tv could provide.

[@bethcushway458]

Your hair looks gorgeous Denise❤

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Omg thank you so so much ❤️❤️

[@purpleYamask]

I really appreciate your choice to cut audio and lower transparency a bit and just leave the memorial in its entirety. Actions like that (alongside a high media literacy and realistic reactions) are what make you two folks one of my favorite channels on the site.
