The Champ

[@ashleykathleen85]

This child could ACT!!! gave me goosebumps

[@dwagonswayer.4835]

A father who is willing to let go of his son for the sake of his son’s future. That’s one of the most hardest decisions man will ever face.

[@iangelb7496]

Or the easiest,the hardest thing would be to give your son every opportunity through hard work and dedication & love . Giving up is easy .

[@markkinrade2739]

Unbelievable how good an actor this kid was. Great film.

[@paisleymileenablackburn]

He was phenomenal in that role.

[@Cult45ed]

He stole the entire movie

[@khalidyusuf2783]

I cried for the last 35 years with this movie. The boy is special boy❤

[@afrotainerethiopia3382]

Tj's voice echoing in ears, saying "wake him up!" Broke me down in tears & cried out for a week. Rented the movie (VHS) & i refused to return it back. And i paid penalty & lost my membership of the VideoStore. Sweet memories OMG

Este actor de pequeño tenia algo muy especial que tocaba lo mas profundo del corazon...su pelicula solo contra el mundo me hizo llorar a mares y que decir de el campeon, recien las e vuelto a ver y e vuelto a sentir la misma emocion de aquellos tiempos...lo ameee y lo sigo amando❤❤❤

[@roykissoon7306]

This is the third time i am seeing a movie with this child being "abandoned" by those whom he expects to take care of him. And omg, this child can act. He is so special & so real. Its just too much for me.

[@Renebilli]

The child's tearful blue eyes are like jewels

[@AgentAO7]

What an actor! That child is superb!

[@DavidMarsh-ib2ff]

That kid is a top actor of his day....I cry every time I watch this film....

[@Jay-wm2im]

Child was unbelievable in this but Jon Voight truly nailed it too!

[@sarmientorichard4138]

,, one of the movies that brought tears to my eyes..

[@skillymulligan9761]

My goodness no other kid actor ever came close to being this good

[@joannegiordano9409]

When I saw this in the movie theatre, I was sobbing. Could not stop

[@mishapisha9554]

This scene breaks my heart EVERY. SINGLE. TIME 🤧

[@aliaviviana]

I was 10 when I saw this and i broke down crying.... still remember how it affected me. Formidable acting to these to boys. Excellent team: Father n Son Somehow I know this pain.

[@westhawk9599]

Incredible 'method acting' by Jon Voight and Ricky Schroder. They truly became their characters and gave superb performances.

[@GAZENDREAM]

RICK SCHROEDER STILL LOOKS LIKE JON AS AN ADULT!...JON STILL ACTING IN HIS 80'S!...GREAT ACTOR!

[@loveforeignaccents]

Young Rick, phenomenal actor; Young Voight reminds me of Bill Burr nowadays.

[@samsever69]

OH Lord..cant watch this movie for more than 1 minute and im tearing my eyes off...

[@josephhernandez1885]

Trivia fact: in the year 1979 when this movie was released, there was another movie called, Kramer vs. Kramer, that had a similar element about the mother abandoning her husband and child and begged another chance. The boy from the other film felt he did an amazing job. However when the awards were happening, and they did the nomination for best child star acting, Ricky Shroeder won and the other kid threw the tantrum of his life.

[@princesssolace4337]

Not as fuck up as Will Smith

[@antonynjogu8283]

Neither Justin Henry nor Shroder won

[@antonynjogu8283]

For Reall, Voight n Shroeder should have won. Streep n Hoffman won in Kramer vs Kramer.

[@MultiSuperguy101]

What’s also weird is 10 years before in 1969, Hoffman and Voight both were in the controversial Midnight Cowboy film which was the only X rated film to win best picture.

[@braebritthill3633]

This scene made me cry way too hard..............

[@elexus802]

Rick Schroder is one of the best actors gladly I’ve met him when I was a kid

[@khalidhussain-to9wt]

Just watched the film Boy oh boy what a film. A real tearjerker, jon Voight, faye dunaway and.ricky schroeder amazing acting especially Ricky as TJ. The love of a son for.his father and the love of a father for his son, truly.amazing. Its a must watch for adults and kids alike just make.sure to take an.extra pack of kleenex!

[@kathydory8273]

Amazing acting. Can't stop crying.

[@drip_hyper0344]

This kid is so cute he deserves a Oscar

[@tiffythekewlchick3457]

He did win an oscar 😁😁😁😁

[@keiichimaebara3754]

@Chad Hoskins both

[@CD-gh1uf]

@Chad Hoskins what do you consider a child actor? Because many children have been nominated for an Oscar

[@JohnSmith-yb1im]

No he didn't

[@fahedmmsaadalazmi8245]

Hyper Boi This child is the actor Ricky Schorder star of the series silver Spoons and has many movies

[@SuperBigdude77]

Damn that kid was good actor! Wow!

[@singersunite9785]

What a brilliant little actor

[@briansky10]

Ricky Schroder won a Golden Globe for this role. That's nothing. He should have won an Oscar!

[@eaomonn1215]

I agree

[@johnbleakley4125]

Yeah, the kid deserved the darn Oscar! 🙂👌👌🙏🙏

[@Monewood]

for sure

[@dailyamusing235]

Still makes me tear up,,great movie

[@jasonrenicks7670]

If you watch this movie and don't cry like a baby at the end, then I'm sorry to tell you but your soul has left your body

[@obscurelyvague]

This is what happens all over the world with parents and children. Only this is packaged into a sentimental movie. In reality parents hurt their kids all the time and make them the victims of their frustrations.

[@maureenmac6514]

L Martinez You don't say ?

[@lokoblood8544]

Oof someone got beaten as a child

[@jasonrenicks7670]

Are you for real, this was one from a different era and two he obviously thought this was the best decision to give his kid a better life he new even tho it broke his sons and his own heart by slapping him the kid would listen to him, the kid begging him was breaking his heart enough, great scene to a legendary movie

[@katierowen3166]

I actually find this scene more gut wrenching than the death scene.

[@antonynjogu8283]

The scene that did me in is which the boy fetching his drunken father from the bar. And him telling everyone " His gonna be alright, he's gonna. be alright. Right Champ?" Gosh! A child speaking like an adult soothing a child. A father behaving like a deliquent child needing comfort! What a scene!

[@antonynjogu8283]

My wife crumbled at the scene where the boy is chasing the mother away from his bed: No! You're not my mother, do you love champ? No, you're not my mother. Go away! Go away!

[@gummy21junior64]

Man i cried as a child for this movie and as an adult even this trailer brings back tears

[@K4R3N]

Damn, paused the movie and came straight here. Tough scene! I'm a father of 3 kids. So hard to let go of your kids, even if you know it's for a better opportunity and good for them.

[@claudiovasconcelos7902]

Um dos filmes mais lindo é ao mesmo tempo triste que eu já assisti o amor de uma criança dando a esperança de resgatar seu pai a voltar a ser um campeão

[@jasonpower2975]

Man what a movie top acting 😊

[@DavonNariz]

Makes me cry.....

[@Foresythe]

A good remake. I love the 1931 version saw it with Dad.

[@Nobllshit]

Yes, Kramer vs kramer was another that movie that i couldnt watch without crying, till this day and im a 52 year old man. There's another one that i watch purposely just to purge the sytem so i know im still alive, its called "without a trace" 1983 with Judd Hursch. When he finds the misssing boy in connecticut and they start driving back to N.Y. city with the lights and sirens on and as they keep passing through different jurisdictions with police escorts the cops from those jurisdictions join them back to N.Y. and thats where the tears start for me. The rest has to be seen to be felt.

[@lisaroberts8135]

I watched this film twice back to back at the pictures when it first came out . No trailers back then , little piece in the local paper that didn’t give much info…. Well ! I ugly cried at the end , then sat through and ugly cried again! 😆give it a watch !

[@brendaechols2228]

Ricky says he does remember this scene. Was a very emotional scene for him. I dont know how his mom could stay quiet backstage knowimg she couldnt just comfort him. I guess thats what they call acting?

[@alexbennett5526]

This is acting 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@DanceySteveYNWA]

2:42 I instantly regret this decision.... Owww...

Happy big birthday TJ Ricky Schroeder🎉🎉❤❤

[@laminage]

For a hot minute Ricky Schroeder was the Hottest Young Child Star on the scene. Then Kramer VS Kramer comes along and one critic says "Kramer Vs Kramer makes The Champ look like a Chump!" I sometimes wonder what he thought of McCaulay Culkin's success most notably with Home Alone. I saw him in Party Monster about Michael Alig who died on Xmas Day 2020 who was The Kid Club King of the 1990's during the "House Movement".

[@BrianRoberson-k7g]

That was a real smack. Voight didn't hold back. Very traumatic film.

[@jacoblalomia8900]

Damn. That was the saddest shit I ever seen.

[@Star-wh9lc]

So Handsome Boy 🌹

[@NJ-zi9lr]

I burst into uncontrollable sobbing on seeing the thumbnail. Couldn't possibly watch the actual video...

[@johnrider5701]

If you get through this movie without crying your eyes out you must be dead.

[@antonynjogu8283]

Neither Voight nor Shroider picked an Oscar for their performance. The Academy Award repeated the same cock up when they didnt give Ed Norton an oscar for his performance in Primal Fear. In fact he deserved two Oscars in that movie potrayin two personalities.

[@mrstecstash]

RS should've gotten way more than a damn Oscar for the mental abuse they put him through for a movie.

[@livingindividual9654]

Wait, was the actor psychologically abused during the filming of this film?

[@antonynjogu8283]

Nope! His parents were there throughout the shooting period. Day n Night

😭😭😭😭😭

[@chrisfinch8637]

One moment Voight slaps Schroeder, while he stands up, and the next, he's kneeling down and holding onto Schroeder, while he's feeling the force of a slap by him. Not much of a good editing job, there.
