My First Time Watching Beaches 1988 Movie Reaction | Heartbreaking Friendship Drama Comedy

My First Time Watching Beaches 1988 Movie Reaction
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hey guys! Today we will be watching Beaches with Bette Midler. I've never seen it, although I was born in 1980 and have had plenty of time! Get your tissues ready, it's a sad one!
When the New York child performer CC Bloom and San Francisco rich kid Hillary meet in a holiday resort in Atlantic City, it marks the start of a lifetime friendship between them. The two keep in touch through letters for a number of years until Hillary, now a successful lawyer moves to New York to stay with struggling singer CC. The movie shows the various stages of their friendship and their romances including their love for the same man.

I am so nervous posting this 🤣 it's been sat in my drafts for about a week... I've never done a movie reaction before and I guess it's like a bandage... I just need to rip it off in one go and stop being so scared! Anyway, NO idea why I picked this one. It broke my heart. Please let me know if you enjoyed and if you have any other movies you'd like to see me watch! I don't like horror and I'm sorta into a lot of older stuff (80s and 90s) for some reason 🤭 Um... Okay, I'm going to run away now!

Be brave love! ❤️

Thank you so much for this react! You're the first to do this movie! As a teen girl cried my eyes out with this one! Got a new sub!!

[@mitzyc]

I have been waiting years for someone to do a Beaches reaction!! Thank you so so much! It was amazing! Your reaction was so pure and genuine!

[@julesreacts]

Thank you so much, Mitzy 💜 It's strange because I couldn't find any other reactions on KZbin for this movie and I was under the impression that it was an iconic film. So I was a bit surprised! I thought it was wonderful and loved it very much!

[@brillanita]

I’ve been waiting too! Finally found it and your awesome channel!

[@patrickmgaddis]

Have you seen Terms of Endearment?

[@rufusbayne2230]

Beaches was released just before my closest friend died of AIDS. It was a terrible and frightening time. When anyone mentions the movie I think of him. It's bittersweet. Thank you for sharing Beaches with me.

[@julesreacts]

I am so sorry for your loss. It is wonderful though, that you can have reminders of him in things like this even after all this time. He must have been so very special to you and I'm sure he knows how much you still cherish him to this day 💜

[@AMERASIAN12]

My condolences Rufus. You were both lucky to have each other.

[@videochu]

This is labeled as a “girls film”. But I’m a man and I can tell you this is one of my favorite movies ever. Great movies has no gender and love and grief is universal. Thank you for this reaction and making me cry with this movie yet again.

[@julesreacts]

I absolutely love that!! Thank you for having such a mature and much needed outlook on life 😊

[@fayesouthall6604]

Fabulous. It’s emotional and actually funny in parts.

[@francisedward8713]

I watched this for the first time with my auntie when I was 10. She had two boxes of tissues ready and we used them all. 🤣 It solidified, for me (along with Hocus Pocus), Bette Midler as an icon. And this movie is SO GOOD. I’ll always treasure it and come back to it when I need a good cry.

[@SmoothieQ]

This movie is the ultimate tear jerker!!!!..my sister and I grew up watching this movie..so much to the point where she gave me a jewelry/ music box for my 40th birthday that has the tune to "The wind Beneath My Wings"..this movie and the songs associated to it will always remind me of my sister..she is .other than my children..the most important person in my life..and I am so surprised that when I searched for Beaches reaction videos..I only found 2 maybe 3..but..I am so glad I watched this video..for the simple reason that u showed the most key parts of this movie and reacted to them.. which was amazing..u don't know how many movie reactions I watch where they miss so much and don't even acknowledge it .this was a great reaction..u found yourself a new sub!!!!!👍😉

[@julesreacts]

I am so surprised there's not many more! I am a bit old school, I guess, and enjoy the older things from the 80s, 90s and early 2000s as that's when I grew up 💜 Thank you so very much for your kind words! This was my first time doing a movie reaction and it was really difficult to edit as I didn't know how much to leave in! Thank you for enjoying this one 💜

[@openfor45]

So so glad someone finally reacted to this GEM of a movie! I've posted this movie countless times on other reaction channels. Unfortunately most reactors use polls and this movie never gets selected, thinking most of us viewers have not seen this. Take care.

[@julesreacts]

Oh thank you so much!! This was my first movie reaction and I don't know why I picked this one, but it just called out to me. Thank you for watching 💜

[@JessBecause77]

This was the first movie that ever made me cry. I was 12yrs old. Outrageous Fortune, Ruthless People and Drowning Mona are all good movies with Bette in them.

[@julesreacts]

This film is an absolute smash. Been a while since i have seen it, but I've seen it so many times that I know it scene by scene.

[@marycanary]

Definitely one of my favorite movies 💕

[@barronmaxxx2991]

Jules...sweetheart, you are such a lovely person. For a woman as young and beautiful as you are...you are also very wise...and deep. I need to heal...I've lost my Mum and I'm laid up with a surgery...and I'm an actor that was on the teen shows in the 90s. I literally did a CeCe on the set of Days of Our Lives, the character that plays Eve (Charlotte) was talking to her dialogue coach...we were blocking a scene....and my wardrobe/makeup helper handed me a note...and I walked. No explanation. Now, I bought my Mum this house. My brother didn't go to jail, Everything was still not fine. My mum was abused as a child...and in her 40s to the end she had the "events" I knew her by heart...and she wasn't always nice...but, she was a good Mum. I grew up with my grandmother....her mum. She was a maid for one of the Kennedy family's and that old time movie accent, Cary Grant, Kate Hepburn, Bette Davis...those last 2 actress grew up near my home...I lived in 3 rooms with my grandmother...and the kitchen stove heated our place. My grandmother and the Kennedy family all this proper Bostonian accent...you know? So, I'm the only blond out of 6 kids...I was the first and it wasn't safe in the family home...Nothing was more important to me than my family....and I showed up and I took a path that I didn't chose in life....but, there was no question. Of course I did it. Now, my stepsiblings are trying to evict my spouse and I from the house i bought my Mum...I've been paying debt....via my Mum... I said, Mum...this is too much....I'm never going to need this much....I sold my townhouse in Beverly Hills in a buyers market...I cashed in on a lump sum residual buy out. And I'm sick...and they are coming. And my guy is scared. I wish I still had a CeCe....she's in Los Angeles...and Joan, (k) is not well....so, this is my therapy. thanks for your videos....it's like watching a show with a pal.. much love, max

[@Sev1439]

Oh wow! So I guess sending letters back is like the 80's version of blocking someone on social media😅

[@julesreacts]

The young Mayim Chaya always picks me up in this film.

[@jessieball6195]

Chaya? I thought her last name was Bialik, did she change it?

[@StoptheInsanityofRegressivism]

Thanks for reacting to this movie. So few have on KZbin. It's really a beautiful story that was very well done. Now read the novel! Once you read it then read the sequel "I'll Be There" Both books were written by Iris Rainer Dart. The second story follows C.C. and Hilary's daughter. It is just as funny and heartbreaking as this one. Great reaction!

[@julesreacts]

I did notice there weren't many reactions to this on here! I'm glad to have made one as it deserves a place 💜

[@StoptheInsanityofRegressivism]

@@julesreacts well said and good on you!!!

[@arno1811]

Beautiful sincere reaction. Thank you! This is one of the most accurate movies about friendship. Sure. With hollywood rounding the sharp edges. But still. True in its heart. And no matter how often I watch it, I‘ll cry every time.

[@julesreacts]

Thank you so much, Arno! I am so thankful you enjoyed this one 💜

[@CRAkins1020]

I forgot how much I loved this movie. Thank You for reacting to it, so I could watch it again with you.

[@julesreacts]

Glad you enjoyed it, Christopher! I really appreciate your kind words 💜

[@clash5j]

I'm an 80's kids too, so I was sure you would pick something I've seen, but you managed to find one of the few 80's films that I haven't.😄I don't like to label films as "boys films" or "girls films", but this is definitely a film that is more popular amongst girls. Based on this film, I'll suggest a 80's movie that I think you might like - Steel Magnolias

[@julesreacts]

Haha yes I do think this is a "girls film" for sure 🤭 I'm probably limiting my audience here, but it appealed to me so it's what I chose! I'm open to trying new things, just nothing scary haha

[@BonnyT]

FINALLY, someone on KZbin has reacted to one of my all-time favourites Beaches! I was 11 when Beaches was released and I saw it at the cinema with my best friend at the time... I sob every single time I watch it and even watching you react to it was enough to make me go through a few tissues 😭

[@julesreacts]

Oh Bonny, thank you so much for being here and finding this video! I love that you did 💜

[@sharonjoan1970]

Wow found you through your Hacksaw Ridge reaction so happy you chose this movie I don't believe I've seen anyone react to this gem❤ You are such a sweet soul...

[@julesreacts]

Sharon, thank you so much 🥰💜

[@S_B-]

What you are blessing us with movie reactions miss juliette? Wow so many old horror movies I want you to watch! xD I mean, I don't know what you've seen. Can your horror tolerance handle Ghostbusters from 1984? It's not too scary, more a romance/comedy, but it has some horror elements because ghosts. But would be a great reaction! Two of my old childhood movies that would be fun for you to watch if you haven't seen it already is 'the neverending story' and 'labyrinth', both eighties movies. That would be special to me.

[@julesreacts]

I think I can tolerate Ghostbusters, the original! That is a great suggestion, thank you 💜 I've actually seen both Neverending Story and Labyrinth, but haven't watched them since I was a little girl. I'd love to watch them again as an adult as I don't remember them! Thank you for the suggestions 🥰

[@tomswift3482]

Good movie selection for you, and you did a fine job reacting. This movie was a first time watching for me, too. I still like how you halt the shows, when you want to comment, it just seems the right thing to do, to not miss a scene, or a word. Excellent. I know you have a little note somewhere, from when I suggested Tom Hanks, in Road to Perdition, a gangster film. You may want to wait a bit with that, what with all the gangster things you have going on now, but there are lots of good movies out there. One, which I have not seen, but people have good things to say about it, The Lake House, from 2006, a remake of a Korean film. A good story, good cast, it's listed as a drama/fantasy/romance, with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. Or, you could try Speed, if you've not seen it, also Bullock and Reeves. And again, sticking with Sandra Bullock, The Net, about computer criminality. A comedy, which never gets old, My Cousin Vinny. You might like. There are many to choose from, that's just my two cents. But you are doing just fine on your own. Beautiful job, another thoughtful reaction. 👏😊👏

[@julesreacts]

Ahhhh yes, Road To Perdition! I remember you mentioning that one. It's actually on Disney, so that makes it even better. The Lake House also sounds great! Thank you! I think I have seen Speed or maybe just know bits of it... I certainly recall the famous line "There's a bomb on the bus" so maybe that's all I know 😅 You've been a great help and they are all written down now 💜 I am curious how reactions go when someone watching (in this case, yourself) hasn't seen it before. I wish I could put the whole thing there but no one seems to do that, so I follow suit and edit it down to the most "reactionable" parts. Heck, I'm just guessing here and playing it by ear 😉 I didn't really think that a reaction would be watchable if someone hasn't seen it as there's just SO much I can't put in there, so please do let me know! I'd love some feedback on that, Tom!

[@tomswift3482]

Well, obviously I didn't get the full brunt of the script, or scenes, but your editing did a good enough job of making sure to focus on the "high points" of the movie to give a good feel of the story. You displayed the fundamental characters well enough to know them, and you included enough of the highs and lows, as well as glimpses into the reasons behind those conflicts and celebrations, to follow their trials and tribulations very easily. I gathered that their whole lives and their friendship, was more of the same. Up and downs, back and forth, but their bond won through in the end, that all the rest was, when viewed as a big picture, just human pettiness, but heartfelt emotional episodes because they both did care so deeply for the bond, even if they did not always recognize it. In a way, it is like editing a game, except here it is all exposition and conversation, you have no filler with fighting, shooting, and chaos. It takes a much finer hand to successfully tell the story through highlights, but I feel that you included enough for me to understand, and appreciate, the film. 💜 A very good job, for your first movie, and I think you will only get better, as you get more comfortable with the task. 💜 You did mention you've seen many Tom Hanks films, does that include The Green Mile? If not, another one for your consideration.

[@Neil_Hanson]

Well, I certainly wasn't expecting this Juliette, a very nice surprise! I was never the biggest Bette Midler fan but she was great in this (and Hocus Pocus of course). It was bugging me who the actress was that played the young CC so I had to Google it and of course it was Mayim Bialik from The Big Bang Theory (or Blossom to us oldies). Anyway, I enjoyed the video and look forward to seeing what you'll choose for the next one. Have a good one Juliette!

[@julesreacts]

YES! Blossom! I also had to google afterwards, Neil! I loved that show so much. I grew up watching Blossom, Full House, Home Improvement, Mork and Mindy, Gilligan's Island, The Nanny... Ahhh, good times 😻 It was different to do a movie reaction and I enjoyed it though I don't know how often I'll be doing them as it takes so long 🤭 I might see if I can aim for 1 or 2 a month, that might be somewhat achievable!

[@mijmijrm]

do you want movie suggestions? .. Alita Battle Angel. James Cameron's personal project. After reading the manga Battle Angel Alita (1990) he bought the rights. The tech to implement the movie wasn't ready til recently. (Some of the ideas in the manga have been used in movies in the years between.) It's set in a dystopian future. A mysterious city in the sky dumps garbage into the squalid city remains below. A doctor scavenging for cyborg parts discovers a cyborg head with a living brain inside. (He scavenges for parts to repair the cyborgs (essentially human but with robot parts) that come to him for .. um ... repairs.) He puts the head on a body and names her Alita. The story is basically about Alita dramatically discovering who she really is (in essence, i reckon it's the story of a girl growing up disguised as a sci fi movie) The tone of the movies is more old fashioned and immersed in characters and character development than the spectacle focussed Marvel Superhero movie
