This Boy's Life (1993) - Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro fight

Film directed by Michael Caton Jones.

[@zackary87kr]

@@aditisk99 look more carefully. Some parts of the action were done by stuntmen. Slow the video down if you have to. Anyway, the flinging into the fridge was not the actor but a stuntman. Pay attention to the video cuts. Its still a great scene though and very realistic.

@@jamesmcallister8124 It's true. I know it doesn't seem like it. That's the negative bias in the brain. We all have it, and even I find myself getting sucked in to it sometimes. The nice thing is that once you are aware of it, you can stand back and reel it in, and start seeing things more objectively before it takes you someplace you really don't want to go. But your main point is still correct. I feel sorry for anyone who had a father like Dwight. That;s something no one should ever have to suffer.

[@tomcameron1770]

This fight was so epic with how heated it got. Both fantastic actors from their outbursts to the red hot angry faces. You can tell in this movie the tension between them was only building higher and higher, and it all blows up right here over the mustard, even though it wasn’t really about the mustard. At some point many of us have had tension with others build until one little thing not relevant to the real issue sets everything off. This scene nailed that perfectly. I’ve never had an abusive family, but it still feels real to me for some reason. The anger Leo’s character was feeling, and the psychical stuff. I guess that’s just how good De Niro and DiCaprio are.

[@aqniazi89niazi32]

@Tom Cameron very well neatly and properly summed up by you.

[@ZetaReticuli_]

What I thought was so great about this scene was the DiCaprio character no longer cared. He had enough. He knew Dwight was stronger, and could probably kill him -- and probably could have had his mom not interjected, but even then, guys like Dwight tend to be too big of cowards -- and he didn't care anymore, but he was going to hurt him as much as he could on the way out. There is also the reality of what happens when you no longer care about the consequences. Which although, is usually not a good place to be, but in some cases like this one, it can be the most empowering.

He would've won... if he didn't get the broom hit out of his hands.

[@gevorgmovsisian2025]

but he is not big enough to fight with De niro . Here De Niro is a healthy and physically strong man in here compared to him, Dicaprio is a little, and remember when you are a boy yet, it is hard when you fight with a man but if he was 20 to 22 years old he could have chance. but in here he is maybe 16 or 17.

[@dagan8659]

@@gevorgmovsisian2025are you talking about actors? like seriously? you think the actors strenght must equal the characters? also many lightweight men can easily beat up men with 10 or 15 more kg, is not that important in people with no fighting ability, age matter not so much either, especially in a chaotic fight like this where even weapons get involved.

I saw this movie once - probably around 1994. Too emotional for me, I’ve never been able to sit down and revisit it. Not cause it’s bad, but because it’s that good.

in real life, she'd come back. she'd come back at least three more times before leaving for good. by then, the trauma to the kids would've already been permanent. think about that next time you think about going back

[@essenceofsean2527]

Both are some of my favorite actors of all time. Hell we grew up with Leo 😂🔥

[@justinjames5286]

I had it like this growing up... Got into it once with my stepdad. I literally packed my mom's things up FOR HER and we left. We were good as gone for a weekend, but unlike DiCaprio and his mom in this movie, we went back. I walked in the old house and mom was getting the cases out the car. Pops was drinking himself to death and I had to carry him to the shower to have him come to. When the water got him out of it he looked up, started crying, stood up, grabbed me fast for a hug, and I wasn't even half scared of him at that point. The man was stressed beyond belief, working himself mentally and physically into the ground. Now that I'm 28 and have been working about as hard as he was, I do house demolitions, I understand how easily it can be to slip into depression trying to provide. The next day or two, mom admitted all the cheating and everything throughout childhood. Him and my mom may have gotten divorced, but he was still never just a stepdad. Moral of the story, there's a lot of time in our short lives. You can either forgive and move on alone, or you can forgive together. All I know is him and I are as close as we are because of that fight, and seeing him like that.

[@cedenoanthony45]

This is what brought Leonardo DiCaprio to Martin Scorsese's attention, as De Niro praised him to Scorsese and told him that he was good. Scorsese has said that it was unusual for De Niro to praise a fellow actor...

[@bodyslamchannel]

DeNiro hardest role. Because the man is nothing like that. So it’s even harder to watch him being this violent and mad. Lesson at the end of this movie is beautiful.

I feel bad for Robert De Niro's character in this movie. He reminded me a lot of my dad and on surface level it is easy to hate him. But there is always a lot more to things like this. At the time, it was easy to hate him, but now that I am older and look back and have a bit more knowledge about my dad and his past and have a better understanding of everything, I felt really sorry for him. There are things about his life which I still won't know or understand, but from what I do know and understand now, I have a lot of sympathy for him.

[@dianapevtsov]

I admire your perspective, Jeffrey.

[@whatson94]

Yes, exactly this! Something about the way he repeats "What about me?" makes me feel like he went through the same pain he inflicted on his stepson. Makes me want to cry for the younger version of him.

[@lindayoutube5094]

Your sympathy is true, and compassionate, and valid, don't ever change it. Sadly it's also exactly why women stay. Why they waste their lives believing that "what about me" is a good enough reason not to leave. (Almost) no one is wholly evil, and there are many reasons to have sympathy for those who destroy the lives of others, because they were born or created 'needy' or selfish. We can always find the good in them if we try. But STAYING won't make His Life Better. It will only serve to destroy both lives. She will never make him happy. She can't ever fix him. She is only enabling him. I'm just saying this - - to all women out there, don't sacrifice your life for a sad hopeless cause. Get space and years between you - and only then - will it be safe to feel that compassion for him again. For now - turn it off. It's your turn. What about you.

@@whatson94 The step son was out of control long before he got to that household. The movie shows him doing horrible things and was he was constantly in trouble.
