Hardball: Remembering G-Baby

[@cphtcq9696]

I love when Keanu is telling him you go out and there and do what you feel and G Baby is like Okay in kind of like a “okay dad/coach” type of way. He felt that love for his coach, and his coach did too, you can see and feel it! Such a great movie!

[@luatala8008]

Very very underrated movie. The movie appears rough but there’s so many diamonds in it.

[@lhuffproductions152]

Exactly !!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@Unknow-gs7rb]

This is one of the most emotional scenes in cinema history If you didn’t shed a tear or cry during this scene…..you have no soul!

[@MaybeDHitHim]

Society: Big boys don't cry. Neo: Listen to my speech.

[@lynnmariedavis4740]

I’d to be carry out the theater I couldn’t move

[@scottywiddashotty]

I didn't shed a tear or cry, if any one of y'all stepped in the ring with me, I would leave you slumped on the building side like G baby

[@matt-joye]

Fr this was probably the first movie that ever made me cry legit tears

[@Dr3w91]

Shed a tear I’m freaking sobbing over here as a new father

[@trishcooning4512]

Keanu is so talented you can feel the emotion he's feeling while delivering lines in a movie that's how you know he's an amazing actor

[@chillwithmoose]

Iirc this was filmed while he was still grieving his stillborn. So that came from the heart.

[@MaybeDHitHim]

This wasn't all performance on his part. Neo was going through some serious shit at the time.

[@tomasfeds97]

Well he did do matrix , John whick 😅 if people saying he’s a shit actor John whick is the one of the best movies that made 🤫

Yeah

[@BravoTango44]

I’m a very tall, strong man, and very tough. And every time I see this movie I boo hoo cry at this part. Freakin sad man.. Reeves is such a great actor

[@dl9786]

No exaggeration, this is the best acting I’ve ever seen Keanu Reeves do. Almost made me cry 😢

[@Darksky1001able]

"You know what... there he is." Thanks my guy. You let that child go through.

[@setnomA]

He did it because he saw G Baby and thought there’s no way this kid hits it Hope I’m wrong but just my perspective because he was the d bag that said Jamal was too old (2 weeks) and Miles couldn’t have his headphone for “safety”

[@christopheralmaguer3310]

[@DavidGomez-es7bd]

My son was born the year this movie came out. I cried like a baby watching this scene. He is 22 now we’re are big movie fans, this scene gets me every time.

One of my favorites, I cry every time!

[@DorvellTStewart]

Say what you want about Keanu Reeves as an actor generally speaking, but no one can deny the raw and real emotion his character put into this eulogy; I felt and believed every word.

[@Duality333]

I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone negatively talking about his acting honestly. Dude is the best, on and off the camera

[@JarvisBaileyVA]

This movie is too underrated, it's stuck with me for 2 decades now.

[@brianhatcher2799]

Same here!! I watched it again real recently and knew the ending was emotional but I was freaking bawling my eyes out!!😭😭😭

[@BigTeste]

3 movie scenes I can recall that have gotten me teary eyed.. 1 - Big Fish (the ending) 2 - UP (the beginning) 3 - and this scene right here...G Baby! "...and watching him...RAISE his arms in triumph.." (gets me every time)

[@MaybeDHitHim]

Big Fish? Excellent 👌 When you learned that he wasn't lying, it made sense.

[@Seryma86]

Lol 3 exact ones that do the same. There’s plenty more, but those specific ones you mentioned are spot on

[@Shredddddy]

John q?

[@AnitaHanjaaab]

When people say Keanu isn't that great of an actor I show them this scene and they change their minds.

[@JTMoney22]

Exactly! He is an underrated actor! Everyone thinks he is just an action star

[@MA-ti6dg]

And sweet November. My god!

[@skylaryoung3819]

This may be the one fictional death that I will never get over.

[@ActivistParrot]

“Men don’t cry!” (Looks at hardball) Sure they do

[@celtics1758]

There’s only a few scenes in a movie that make me tear up and this is definitely at the top

[@JoseDelgado-il2nj]

I felt like losing G Baby was like losing one of my own kids so heartbreaking and you just fell in love with his character

[@stacysaint-ilma781]

Oh my goodness I’m so sorry that you lost one of your kids.

[@JTMoney22]

Such an underrated movie and Keannu an underrated actor. This scene makes me cry every single time!

[@afzlua5924]

The movie was a rare thing for the time - i think. It made me emotional; happy; sad; low and high in mood; i cohld share these feelings with my close friends and agree and disagree about the everythings. At the time watching this movie on vhs i cried. I did a few minutes ago too and i feel sad

[@birdm83]

Man!! This scene and this movie gets to me like no other!!!! Even all these years later! First movie I ever cried on; I was probably 8 or 9. Whew!! 😢

[@victorhardin2186]

11. Your right

[@Foxwolfred]

Anyone that’s coached young kids know the feeling of when a kid gets a hit or makes a plays and is so happy it’s something you love to see and as a coach there’s no better feeling

[@CokeJimbo]

Ah man, I imagine it's a proud feeling

[@kb.86]

Facts

[@josephbrooks9711]

As a coach these kids become your kids 🙏

[@Pariah_Larry]

As a white kid that grew up on the north side I couldn’t relate to their struggles, I could relate to their love for baseball and their caring coach though. This movie still makes me cry. I became an addict and spent a lot of time wandering through the projects to get my fix. I always remembered how easy it was for even a little kid like G baby to get killed and that fear eventually lead to me getting help. This story helped me whilst getting clean too. Made me remember the good things I used to love and not the evil things that had hijacked my life. Thanks Keanu. Incredible movie

[@TommyDonDada]

💯💯💯

[@gerrenallmon6999]

So what have done to overcome these problems?

[@vernam.c.mendiola8903]

Keanu always doing his best at any role he plays.😢

[@426AM]

We love you G Baby!!! 🙏🏾❤️

[@smokinjoecool9370]

I don't know if Reeves has any kids, but he looks like he'd be a great father. I wish I had a half decent father.

[@MickeyDs14]

He doesn’t. His ex-wife, unfortunately, miscarried. I don’t think there’s ever been any other rumblings of children besides that, that anyone is aware of.

Since 2001 I’ve still been sadness

[@CBliss-kj9vm]

I remember going into this movie excited because I love baseball and I love Keanu But what I did not expect was the emotional roller coaster that this film would send me on. I am admittedly not someone who cries very easily but this whole funeral got me... His death seen got me too but I was so stunned that I just couldn't process it and kept wishing that they would flash to the hospital and he would be alive because they were able to bring him back but maybe that he couldn't play again So when they flash through the empty ballpark in the empty school and his apartment and then cut two the church I just lost it.

[@okonkwochukwuma318]

[@Ironheart73]

He told G-baby to just do his best. Do what he feels like. Win or lose, they still have his back. That is some great coaching
