That scene with all the deceased brothers reuniting and meeting their 'older' brother broke me

[@morganghostbusters-egonfan]

I’m sorry you ended up in the hospital, Nick. I hope that you’re doing better.

"I know this has to have a happy ending".... made me sad knowing just how much more tragic the ending gets, especially when you factor in that they left out another real life brother, Chris, who also committed suicide in real life.

[@Michael15_25]

It’s great that your biggest takeaway was the brotherly bond between the brothers. The main point Kevin Von Erich wanted the film to portray was how much they all loved each other. That was all he cared about and it did a great job of that.

“As a kid, he just wasn’t there to play with one day” oh this films already messing me up😭😭😭😭

[@chrisbell9075]

The real life story behind this movie is so absolutely heartbreaking.. Fritz had 6 sons originally & only one remains alive today.. Fritz dying of brain & lung cancer.. The various ways in which all the brothers die (including Chris, who they didn't even put in the movie bc they felt it was already sad enough, which says a lot), from electrocution & drowning in snow to ruptured intestines to overdose to self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the head & to the chest.. The fact that every 2 or 3 years Kevin would lose yet another member of his family.. Add in the fact that even a couple of the wrestlers they feature in this that faced the brothers, Bruiser Brody & Gino Hernandez, were ALSO taken far too soon & met such grim ends (Bruiser was murdered in Mexico & the murderer was never charged & Gino overdosed, but still people to this day think he was murdered).. And the fact that Chavo Guerrero, Jr. was the actors' coach behind the scenes & he is the nephew of the late Eddie Guerrero, who we also lost way too soon in '05.. This movie is surrounded by SOOO much loss & heartbreak & yet is SUCH a powerful, amazing film.. Poor Kevin has been through so very much in his life.. This story has always gotten to me & they did such a great job with the majority of this tragic movie.. Thanks for watching this, Nick..❤

The oldest brother (Jack Jr.) I believe was electrocuted by a fence, where he fell face down in melted snow and drowned. There was a sixth brother actually that they left out of the movie for runtime, Chris Von Erich. He sadly also passed the same way Kerry did in his 20’s, by his own hand. So Kevin literally lost five brothers. Three of them by their own hands. It’s truly horrific.

[@julesjacquez2844]

In real life fritz found Kerry. He said he’d never seen a more peaceful look in his face.

[@chrisbell9075]

Kerry said to many friends & family before killing himself that he kept hearing his brothers calling to him & believed that his own death was inevitable.. That always stuck with me.. How so very heartbreaking.. Smh.. R.I.P. to the Von Erichs.. Kevin is such a strong man.. Any man that has gone through all he has would have to be.. ❤

[@adamis5ver917]

This movie is one of the most tragic things I have ever experienced. It is such a well done movie I loved it so much!

[@scottketchie5703]

Kevin is the bravest person for going through all that and not giving up, such a inspiration to future wrestlers...

[@scottketchie5703]

This movie breaks my heart, they all didn't deserve this

[@scottketchie5703]

If you don't know how Chris von Erich died

[@denni8271]

Mike’s note is just so freaking eerie. It’s so short and straight forward, that shot of it open on the table just sends chills down my spine. God, this story is so tragic.

[@iamlinda100]

the story of the real Von Erich family was actually even more tragic than the movie, there were actually 6 brothers in total, the 6th and youngest brother Chris also died and he was excluded from the movie because his situation was very similar to Mike's, they both were forced into wrestling to replace a dead brother and both later died by suicide. Chris died before Kerry did, but the director felt adding Chris would've been repetitive and too much tragedy in the movie. The movie also did not mention the fact that Kevin's parents later divorced and they have since both died. So Kevin has lost all of his brothers and parents, he is the only survivor.

[@angeltinsley4631]

The oldest brother Jack Jr died after being electrocuted and then drowned facedown in a snowpuddle after stepping on a trailer tongue. He was only 6 or 7 years old.

[@merlintroutmen4251]

It's my favorite movie of 2023 as well. It is so well done and besides the absense of the final brother, it is very faithful to the source material.

[@hektorlinko]

Damn bro I saw this in the big screen theater and I sobbed and cried. Heartbreaking movie but I love the fact that they were a loving family of brothers in that sense. Not so much the parents but the brothers loved each other and that was great. I grew up in Texas in the 80's and experienced their whole story.

[@stonecoldku4161]

Kerry was a discus thrower and was training to be a part of team USA's track and field Olympic team, but the USA boycotted the Olympics due to Soviet Russia's invasion of Afghanistan. Friz looked angry there because when he was younger, he too was training to go to the Olympics, and Kevin has said in interviews that his dad's best throw would've won Gold had he gone. Fritz could not afford to pay for the trip to the Olympics on his own and because he had gotten married the AAU wouldn't pay for the trip, so he too missed out on an opportunity to compete in the Olympics.
