The Village | FIRST TIME Watching | Movie Reaction | Movie Review | Movie Commentary

[@LukasMoon91]

The porch scene with Ivy and Lucius is one of my favorite scenes of all time! The music and camera in this film are so good too!

[@kylewestlake982]

I don't care what anyone thinks, I love the twist in this movie.

[@joh3628]

It's a great movie

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

I don't really feel like either twist lands with that much weight, but the cast, and in particular Bryce Dallas Howard's performance, make it worth watching. I also really enjoy the fact that they never explain why the creatures are supposedly attracted to the color red...I assume it's to make the villagers afraid of spilling blood.

[@positivelynegative9149]

Dasha: What year is this? Us: Yes. 😏 Dasha: ... I have a slight idea of what's going on... Us: No, you don't. 🤣

[@LeviBulger]

Dasha is so insightful and is so good at understanding the nuances and depth of movies like this, which take most people a few watches to understand

[@KerryLockhart-i4l]

This reactor is a very bright young person. Most native English speakers in this country cannot speak the language as well as this woman with a heavy russian? accent. Also a very sensitive reviewer of films for someone of her age. I'm very impressed!

[@tubekulose]

Yes, Dasha is Russian and a quite smart young lady.

[@princeofcats6883]

And very sweet. And very beautiful. And very talented

[@Abcd-j9i]

Dasha is a Russian who lives in Canada.

[@tonyrossell832]

She's my favorite reactor.

[@whaguitars]

She's the best!!

[@MikeBrown7799B]

Hello Dasha!😊 "Do not fret" means do not worry. What is funny is this is a Touchstone and Buena Vista Pictures film, which makes this a Disney movie!🤯 M. Night Shyamalan has a cameo as the guard in the shack where Kevin gets the medicine. 😉 Yes, the elders chose to runaway from the violence of the outside world, but they did force this life on their children. Great reactions to another M. Night film with several surprising twists, Dasha!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@evanhouse5180]

I am so glad you chose to watch the Village! It's one of my favorites and I think that so many people have forgotten it. Thank you so much!

[@donaldgilbert6739]

People hated this movie, when it came out, it was marketed as a horror movie, and that's what People expected, but it's a love story!

[@YodatheHobbit]

People pay to much attention to marketing.

[@unclebounce1495]

And Rocky is just a boxing movie.

[@barstro]

I actually loved it too. it's a love story and a bit of a horror movie too. The real horror is the families made the decision to live their lives away from the rest of the civilized country. Along the way people have died and probably could have lived with the use of modern medicine. Passing down the legend of monsters keeping them trapped in that little town is crazy.

[@PeterSchmidt-l4p]

I love these types of films in which the viewer is led in one direction of the story and only at the very end does the truth come to light, which brings with it a completely unexpected twist - like in "The Sixth Sense", "Unbreakable" or "The Others"! 😊

[@tehawfulestface1337]

“Do your very best not to scream.” In my head I screamed out loud! I love this film! She is a redhead! The ‘bad color’! I love this film! I like to think that because her bravery saved Lucius, the elders will remember that. And maybe, they will be more receptive to not allowing anymore of the younger ones dying from injury or sickness. When she becomes one of the elders someday, she won’t let it happen.

[@RenfrewPrume]

I love this film. It is my second favorite Shyamalan movie, after “The Sixth Sense.” The acting, directing, cinematography, and music are all top notch. The story is highly original, treating anthropological and psychological themes rarely explored in film. I’ve never understood its lack of success. I suspect that too many people were hunting for the twist, which clouded their appreciation of everything else. Had this been a first film, it would have been hailed as a triumph.

[@jmurdock8303]

To me this is his weaker film it's enjoyable but there are too many plot holes

[@david.j9.rabbithole808]

I simply adore this movie. Great writing and performances. It gets a lot of hate from M. Knight Shyamalan trolls but to each their own. Wonderful reaction. Thank you.

[@DamonNomad82]

"Fret" means "worry". "Do not fret" means "don't be worried".

[@lazyperfectionist2]

0:28 "I'm excited. I... _think_ that this movie, um... I don't know anything about it and I didn't search for it, but when I was getting myself a copy, then I... _did_ see that... it is... a _horror,_ probably." I don't know if it's _supposed_ to be. It's actually the M. Night Shyamalan movie that I've seen that I've most enjoyed and I dare to suspect it's probably because, when I went to see it, the oddest set of circumstances prevented me from knowing anything about it. M. Night Shyamalan has had kind of a sordid reputation with the movies he makes, and I suspect, once in a while, it's because advertisers have misrepresented his work. If you look up a trailer for _this_ movie, they make it look like a monster-horror flick, and it's not. But because the viewing public, by and large, had seen these trailers, they went in to see this movie and were _disappointed._ As a _horror_ flick, this movie is _terrible._ But if you had the chance to see it with _no_ such expectations, you encountered a movie that, sometimes, worked very well as a mystery, and other times, worked very well as a _love_ story.

[@lazyperfectionist2]

20:32 "Oh my god! I'm gonna cry!" You _get_ it. _Clearly,_ it's not a _horror_ movie. One thing Shyamalan has a knack for is a _plot_ twist.

[@BadHatHarry23]

I actually really like this movie for its 19th-century village aesthetic and basic premise. I do praise Shyamalan for making thriller movies that balances horror and drama like this and _Signs_ and such.

[@YodatheHobbit]

The music of this film is masterful.

[@jmurdock8303]

I don't know about that. Too strong of a word

[@troy34bronze]

I enjoyed M. Night Shyamalan”s Lady in the Water. It also has Bryce Dallas Howard. The first time I saw it I wasn’t sure what to think of the movie. But then I read an interview with. M. Night Shyamalan and discovered it’s a children’s story. Looking at the movie through those eyes. It was much more enjoyable.

[@SurvivorBri]

Lady in the Water is garbage. One of M. Night's worst movies, if not for The Happening.

[@troy34bronze]

As I said, it’s better if you look at it through the eyes of a child, which is how it was intended. I’m not saying it’s greatness, but it’s not as horrible as you make it out to be.

[@unclebounce1495]

I think Lady in the Water is an excellent movie. it's a modern fairy tale with a classic adventuring group using modernized roles to replace classic medieval fantasy party roles. People get so disturbed over the "silliness" of these modern roles but get excited with fantasy making the average joes' special adventurers as a typical trope, and they're too simple-minded to see that those medieval/fantasy people were just normal people doing basic day-to-day crap before being dragged into whatever world changing/ending plot.

[@curtisdyoung3350]

I too, very much enjoyed “Lady in the Water”. I liked the whole story-within-a-story concept and the soundtrack is magnificent.

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

I really can't get past the fact that Night cast himself as a genius writer whose work will save the world. That's a special degree of egotism I've rarely seen matched.

[@Bookworm-ye9qi]

You're the main character Dasha❤

[@robertfindley921]

I love this movie. A little weird with the old English talk, but if you can get past that, it's great. M Night Shyamalan rarely disappoints. Poor Noah was Friend Zoned.

[@lauriebarrett6789]

The Village is parodied in Scary Movie 4.

[@MikinessAnalog]

Blind girl goes # 2 in church in front of everyone was hilarious

[@BUM-bz8vc]

Can not fathom why "Lady in the Water" gets overlooked. It is his best movie, in my opinion, w/ this being a close 2nd

[@P5YKHOTIK]

The movie kept her guessing ... The first time watching this movie is the best. After that you appreciate their attempt for the simpler times. Brings to mind the movie "Pleasantville"

[@orangewarm1]

It's actually more like The Truman Show.

[@internetsideshow]

That's why I love reactor's channels; I'm able to experience a movie for the first time vicariously through them.

[@kitkompo]

i really connected with lucius in this movie and my favorite scene was when he grabbed Ivy’s hand during the confusion at the wedding.

[@YodatheHobbit]

Glad you liked it. It's such a sad truth that in order to escape from evil people want to remove themselves from society. I know I purposely often do. The world outside seems so lawless sometimes. Drivers who don't deserve their licenses, NEVER stop at stop signs, people who tag the restaurant bathrooms which they themselves frequent, costing local business money to fix just for it to happen again a week later, so they just let the walls look like trash. People go to such constant extremes to ensure their world never gets better.

[@unclebounce1495]

Only from urban societies. Urban areas are cess pools and cancers on society and always have been. Their only benefit is to be a petri dish to grow large numbers of populations for work/war and, later on in civilized evolution, to farm for the rare genuine/special artist that appears in rare numbers. Those two things are the only benefits of urban sites, in exchange for endless plagues, crimes, disorder, moral decacy, and debauchery. not a smart trade.

[@jmurdock8303]

They should have joined an Amish village and called it a day..

[@DamonNomad82]

I really enjoyed "The Village" for many reasons. It's totally the sort of thing I would do if given the chance, as well as having a great cast.

[@positivelynegative9149]

To fret is to worry. The term is rarely used now.

[@spinynorman887]

I remember seeing this movie for the first time, and at the end, I said "Wait...WHAT!?".

[@bksundar]

In 1999, initially Sixth Sense was a flop in summer and became a hit later Village in 2004, not many liked due to Signs before and people expected lot of horror . Its a great love story Shymalan accepted later, his marketing for this great movie caused it to fail in 2004 though many like it now in 2020s....

[@michaelanderson5301]

A friend from work saw this movie and thought Lucius was the one who died. When it is said near the end, we will blame his death on the creatures, she thought the he was Lucius. Three people exclaimed as one regarding her belief that Lucius had died, No he didn't!!! She responded okay tigers! Easy!

[@YodatheHobbit]

So weird!

[@ericjanssen394]

When it came out, the movie was almost sued for its resemblance to a YA novel about a girl who had unwittingly been raised as part of a.19th-cty. living-history museum farming village escaping into the modern world. But charges were dropped, as it was pointed out that if Shyamalan had ripped off the novel, he only got the first three or four chapters of it. 😂

[@unclebounce1495]

it wouldn't have held up anyway. There's other stories long before either of them about isolated groups "out of time." Nothing new to be claim copyright over concept alone.

[@WailingBadger-hf5yn]

36:46 The lesson every rich person refuses to learn

[@lnwolf41]

I figured it out 30 minutes in while in the theater. Now the wall with the keep out signs was a surprise. But the point of the movie, even in their 1800 style of simple living there is always someone that may cause death and destruction. The fake monsters didn't stop it.

[@jishin75]

Nice reaction , Dasha. This movie is amazing and based on love and pain. It deals with what can you do both for love and not to feel pain. Also nice that the blind girl can see people and the people with working eyes can't see the truth. Very good movie.

[@tonyrossell832]

Keep up the great work Dasha!

[@Liminal_Space23]

Fret = Worry

[@kurtfrancis4621]

Wonderful reaction, Dasha! You have a great heart, which is one of the reasons I enjoy watching your reactions. This was certainly a though-provoking movie.

[@petewilson4395]

Not to fret means don't worry.

[@orangewarm1]

M Night based this place on a real place, where rich people locked themselves away behind a big hedge. And recently he bought such a place from The Rockefellers.

[@christopherhamlet734]

You should watch Lady in the water. It’s really it’s pretty good. Actually it’s a little different but it’s good I think you’d really like it. Have a nice day.😉🌹

[@VeraxMusic]

Hey Dasha, just a tip, when you talk to the audience, instead looking at your monitor, look directly at your camera.

[@tonyrossell832]

But if she looks away from the movie then people complain that she missed something. She can't win either way I guess.

[@Sidewalkman1]

[@kaeseheld]

this movie was the first i can remember of being advertised so wrong . people went in after the trailers to watch a suspensful horror and they got a critique on society and incest really; with the small gene pool everyone of their offspring ends up being disabled. i remember people leaving during this movie in bunches in the cinema.

[@duckarse11]

Incest is okay, it says so in the bible.

[@unclebounce1495]

this has nothing to do with inceyst. lol Inceyst disorders take multiple generations to saturate bloodlines (depending on the strength of each generations' unions). The odds of having any major degradation from a single coupling of full siblings is extremely low. But that's to be expected. Modern people are extremely ignorant about inceyst. But why you'd stretch this movie to have anything to do about inceyst is beyond me. Even if you want to foolishly believe single couplings cause major problems, almost all the adults there were married or met up with strangers with the creation of the village. those adults/adolescents were not made from inceyst. wtf.

[@duckarse11]

@@unclebounce1495 What is inceyst ?

[@kaeseheld]

@@unclebounce1495 the small genepools are the reason why the main characters are blind or retarded. its the moral dilemma they face in the end if they want to continue on with the entire village if the result is that future generations are all disabled in some way. so yes the entire film is about that, there really is no other reason for it otherwise. so you might not have understood the movie at all.

[@texasrattlesnake31637]

Good movie & reaction Dasha!

[@zach9847]

i object to all the comments that they "forced this life on their children". this is a very narrow and frankly bigoted view. yes you could say their life is harder, has less comforts and less access to medicine but you could also say they have a much lower risk of injury, sickness, greater safety, healthier food with no preservatives, healthier activity levels, and probably better mental and emotional health. different lives then us does not mean a better or worse life just different.

[@tonyrossell832]

Whether it's better or worse is irrelevant to the fact that they did force this life on the children. Did they tell them about the "outside " world and give them the choice to stay or go on their own? No therefore it was forced on them.

[@jackrussell1232]

Oh hey! It's that live action Scooby Doo movie! Lol seriously though this is where my faith in Shyamalan started to take a sharp nose dive. The whole "water kills aliens" twist from Signs was maybe the dumbest version of his whole twist gimmick that he ever tried, but this one came close. "Old man Frank Withers? It was YOU the whole time?!!!"

Great movie, though like you I always thought the village elders were not good people. Why not use all their resources to create a better world for everyone instead of just for their family and friends? The root of most evil is the idea that some human beings have value and others don't. The elders created a society where that evil idea was fundamental to their way of thinking. Sooner or later they would reap what they sowed. Still an amazing story though.
