THE LONG WALK (2025) | EXTENDED WATCH

Ok this one... This one is a special experience this year. You know nothing good is gonna happen and yet it still destroys you. This is one of the best movies of the year without question, I'm still a bit in shock 😂 Enjoy our extreme sorrows. The movie list has gotten down to a few real long ones lol. I have tons of editing to get to already but we plan to get HUNGER GAMES and FRANKENSTEIN watched this week, plus WELCOME TO DERRY then we'll be diving into ATTACK ON TITAN SEASON 4 by sometime next week!

The range of emotions I went through when I watched this in theaters. My heart shattered so many times…whew! As I watched this reaction, I was right there crying again with you guys. What performances by these actors! Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson were fantastic! Now I also need to read the book.

The fireworks and singing as Pete tries to understand what just happened is a masterclass in storytelling reflecting the real world. King wrote this about kids being shipped off to Vietnam- and the callous ways we look away from the suffering they went through. This change in ending puts a mirror to our faces of how heartless we can be when bringing soldiers home with fireworks parades and songs when they have witnessed utter horror and pain.

It’s such a visceral thing to see people watching this go through the same emotional decline as the movie. The easy jokes at the start just falling into silence as the sheer devastating truths set in. This reaction is what got me on the patreon, and I’m so glad. This movie is so heartbreaking and hurts but for some reason I can’t stop revisiting it. A lot of moments broke me but I don’t think anything hurts as bad for me as Parker’s death chant and Ray’s mom screaming “it’s ok”. That one line delivered the way it is is such a stab in the gut because she knew in that moment she’d never see him again. Deep down she already knew. Her son is like her husband, she may not know how, but she knows he’ll die trying to do better for others (and he did in sacrificing himself). She wanted him to die knowing she didn’t blame him.
