You perfectly described why I thought this film felt so different from other biopics. It wasn’t really about telling the story of this amazing wrestling family and how they made it to the top. It was about THEM, the people and their dynamic as a family. The film didn’t focus too much on the matches, the training process, or the fame aspect. All of that is in the background of a far more emotional story, that I feel like many viewers, especially men, can relate to.

damn you’re so spot on about the restraint aspect. In a way I feel like the film kinda teaches you how to repress as you follow kevin and all the ways he removes himself. Like him, you expect more shoes to drop and know how to react accordingly, as was so lovingly taught by his father. However, that doesn’t account for the immense weight of each “shoe” and how that weight will refuse to let up as long as it is not acknowledged. Like I really thought I was gonna make it through the whole thing without even a single tear, kind of unconsciously internalizing fritz’s philosophy, but seeing kevin let himself shed some of that weight, actually allowing himself to feel how crushing each loss was, reminded me that I could do the same and that’s when I absolutely lost it

I definitely have felt the pressure to not cry as a man or show excessive displays of emotion. I went to see this movie with my fiancé and at the climax when Kevin finds his dead brother and imagines them all reuniting, I broke out into sobbing tears. Even though this movie wrecked me, I thought it was so beautiful and recommended it to everyone I talked to, proudly telling them how it made me weep.

As someone who does know the full context behind the “Von Erich curse” I can sort of understand why the filmmakers cut out some things.

I also feel not touching on some of these things impacts the movie in a bad way. If you are telling this story tell the story. I actually feel for a 2 hour movie it felt somewhat rushed. Maybe I just need to rewatch it? Curious how you feel about these things

How long did Fritz fall into madness? I think they messed up the timeline and could have told a better story if the timeline was correct. Jerry Jarret didn't buy the company until 1989 and they had been cross promoting up in Memphis for a while. They didn't really show Kerry falling apart very well and missed story arch's that could have shed light on what really happened and how the family was really dealing the issues that lead to Kerry's suicide.

The Iron Claw was my favorite 2023 film, even though I watched tons, and you expertly put into words why I related to so much off this film so strongly I cried in a cinema for the first time ever. The restraint it shows somehow making the film more grounded and real feeling, putting you uncomfortably close to the situations Eric is in but still far enough away that you feel like you're dissociating with him. The funeral scenes in particular hit home for feeling dead on to some personal experiences and the way I remember those days. As someone with horrendous family luck (not this bad but so bad that we do get joked about being cursed), it really hit home. Thanks for this video essay the 20 minutes flew by. Gonna be re-watching this tons.

This movie makes me emotional cause it brings back memories of my older cousin who was more my older brother than anything. Him and my other cousin were big wrestling fans. So when my older cousin died almost 5 years ago, we put over his grave a WWE champion belt. He died at age 33… he didn’t get to meet my kids. I still have my other cousin whom I love just as much, but losing my cousin was the closest to losing a brother. Zach Efron deserved more for this and well the movie in general.

The whole movie made me very emotional and the end even made me tear up a little. I am very close with my brother so all of the brotherly themes and tragedies really got to me. The part that got me the most was the end when the kids say that they’ll be their dad’s brother. I had the same thing happen when I was a kid with my dad who lost his brother when he was 19. My dad saw me and my brother playing and started crying saying that it reminds him of when he was little and had a brother and he said that we are his brothers now. My brothers middle name is the name of my uncle and who passed and my middle name is my dads. I never really got it until now that we are my dad and his brother together again. This is a great movie and deserves all the praise it gets.

The theater was empty and I was all by myself, and when I heard the gunshot with KerryI just broke down sobbing uncontrollably in the theater and continued sobbing up until the end of the credits. For reference, the last time I cried from a place of intense emotion was like a year and half before this film came out, but this film had that profound of an impact on me. I wanted to thank you for helping me put a finger on just what led up to that release of emotion both in the film and in myself.

Such a good dissection of this film, really made me want to rewatch it once it comes out on streaming. This video is so well put together btw, you make me wish I actually knew how to do motion graphics 😭

I went into this movie with full knowledge of the history and story of the Von Erich family. I'd heard blurbs, watched some of their matches, and even heard quotes from the family including *that* quote from Kevin. I still left the movie a complete mess and in tears. It's such a shame that it came out so late and wasn't that widely marketed because I thought that Efron deserved a Best Actor nod at the Oscars. It's genuinely one of the most well made sports movies of all time

If you have brothers youd do anything for and grew up with an emotionally absent father this movie hits especially hard. Probably the most a movie has ever made me cry

This film made you restrain yourself just like the characters did. So when you see Kevin finally release at the end. It’s the films way of telling you it’s ok to release to. Than how they rehashed the song the brother played at the party So good

The guy who played Dave Von Erich was unreal. And he's got an English accent. Incredible.

Ohh good point about the intro to the movie being like a mission statement for the rest of the movie. I didn’t even think of that. It changes everything for me

I knew the movie was gonna be a tragedy, I knew there was gonna be death but I found myself crying intensly atleast 4-5 times. I was immediately attached to Michael and after seeing his end was glad I watched the movie alone. Having lost a very dear friend to suicide and almost myself seeing him pass and the moments before left me grieving intensly enough when I watched the movie with my mother I teared up everytime he was on screen and crying when he was performing at the party and happy. Haven't had a movie leave an impact on me like this in many many years. Truly a tragedy this movie didn't include even a single nomination
