[@williamdenny8963]

It reminds me of the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers line 'No parent should have to bury their child.' Both lines are Amazingly Powerful.

Absolutely agree.

[@DisgruntledHippo]

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

[@Grnademaster]

It's a lot worse than even this movie portrays it to be.

[@repeter]

The "system" has limited resources. Look at the percentage of actual donors, then realize not all of those organs will be viable. That number is ridiculously low especially compared to those waiting for them. Make sure you are an organ donor.

[@DisgruntledHippo]

@@repeter Limited resources? I live in America where 42% of the 2.2 trillion dollar budget is spent on making war. Lol There are only 'limited resources' in this country when it comes to people without money...

[@repeter]

@@DisgruntledHippo you missed everything I said. The government can build machines, it cannot build organs. I'm not sure why you refuse to comprehend this. It doesn't matter how much is spent in health care because there will still be limited organs. This means it will be hard to get the organs to everyone needing them. The military budget has absolutely nothing to do with the number of organs that exist. I'm not sure why you think it does. Guess what, in free heath care systems, they still don't have enough organs either. Surprised?

[@CM_87]

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.

[@Mighty_Oregon]

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.

[@erivera700]

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.

[@brbrdeng9122]

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.

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

[@opethdan2408]

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.

[@choney1168]

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

[@bellavita1323]

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.

[@stephenochosiete9869]

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.

[@thanossnap4170]

This right here. Crying is so healthy and normal. Boys/Men can't cry because that's weak? Gtfo

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!

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.

[@reggiesalas4285]

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.

[@dljprogun]

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.

[@dancepartyinmyhead]

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.

[@IamIRONMAN---]

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.

[@Teeklin]

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.

[@geddistopholes6785]

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!😁

[@stevenmccart5455]

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.

that bedside scene with his boy messes me up every time. There is an entire generation of grown men (and women) who will bawl like babies when Denzel dies.

In two hour blocks of movies, he was our mentor and role model.
