2022-02-08 03:50:30 +0000 UTCTombstone- Thank you very much for another marvelous movie reaction from you, Dillon! I really loved watching your reaction for this movie, and I also enjoyed your commentary. I am so, so happy you really loved this movie so much. I am happy you give it a nine out of nine. Tombstone is such an amazing movie for sure. :) Also... this movie I most certainly based on true events and real people. I really love this movie, and before I saw it for the first time, I never would have thought I would enjoy watching westerns. And yet... this movie encouraged me to watch others, including Wyatt Earp... another movie based on the life of Wyatt, his brothers, and Doc Holliday starring Kevin Costner and Dennis Quaid. I would highly recommend you watch it at some point in the future as well. In fact... if you would be interested, I can request you watch it for a new reaction in an upcoming month. It's a really fantastic movie too! Doc Holliday is my favorite character, played by Val Kilmer, who is absolutely phenomenal in this movie, as well as a lot of older movies from the late 80s and the 90s. I have enjoyed learning the true history behind the real Doc Holliday too. I absolutely love Doc Holliday for his ferocity and coolness under pressure. I also love seeing his friendship with Wyatt and his brothers. I admire his deep loyalty to Wyatt and his brothers. As well as for his skills with his guns. Doc was known for being one of the greatest gunfighters within western times. Also... just so you're aware, back then it wasn't unusual or so much wrong for people to marry or to fall in love with their cousins. In fact... cousins married all the time. In western days and long, long ago. It wasn't immoral to do so like it is today, because cousins weren't directly related. Not in the way brothers and sisters are. That was how everyone saw it, and how marriage between cousins was back in the days was. Times were very, very different back then. Just like the Old West was a very, very violent time in history. Sadly... Doc died from Tuberculosis at a very young age of only 36, after he caught this disease from his mother while caring for her until she had died from it some years earlier. But before meeting Wyatt, Doc had been a dentist until he was diagnosed with Tuberculosis not too long afterwards. His drinking, smoking, and nightlife most certainly didn't help any. It all only made him much worse off. Val Kilmer is just really fantastic in this movie, and he's almost everyone's favorite character within this movie. Kilmer's role as Doc Holliday is iconic, and rightly so. Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp, Sam Elliot as Virgil Earp, and Bill Paxton as Morgan Earp are all really great too. As is actress... Dana Delany as Josephine Marcus. Fun fact... After signing on to play their roles, and before they started filming, Kurt Russell, Sam Elliot, Bill Paxton, and Val Kilmer all made a wager to see which of them could grow the biggest mustache. Sam Elliot won. And yes... all of these actors' mustaches are real. I love all of their mustaches throughout this movie. :) Regarding Wyatt and his relationship with Mattie... Wyatt and Mattie were never actually married. However, they were together for so many years, that they both considered themselves to be so. However, upon their family's move to Tombstone, her addiction to laudanum, or opium worsened and grew, and once she moved away with Virgil, his wife, and Morgan's widow after Morgan's death, she died from an overdose not long afterwards. Wyatt did have an affair with Josephine, which only made Mattie drink more and more, but upon leaving town, Mattie left him too, which freed Wyatt to be with Josephine for the rest of their lives. And they were happily married for as long as they were together. Like I mentioned above... one of my favorite aspects of this movie is the friendship between Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp. And you could see how truly loyal Doc was to Wyatt. Like Doc tells one of their other comrades... he didn't have many friends, and it meant a lot to him that Wyatt considered him as such. One of my favorite scenes is when Doc Holliday takes Wyatt's place in the pistol duel against Johnny Ringo after pretending to be more sick than he really was, or so he claimed to be. I suspect Doc was probably just as sick as he appeared, if not more so. And yet his loyalty to protecting Wyatt gave him the strength to leave his bed so he could kill Ringo for Wyatt, knowing that Ringo would have killed Wyatt because Ringo was almost as good as Doc was with his guns. I love the moment Doc kills Ringo, then stands the moment Wyatt appears and looks on at him with admiration upon seeing what Doc had done for him. And one of my favorite quotes from this movie comes from this moment Wyatt says for them to finish what they've started with killing off the remainder of the Cowboys, to which Doc states... "Indeed, Sir. The last charge of Wyatt Earp and his immortals." And second... another of my favorite scenes is also between Doc and Wyatt, when Wyatt says goodbye to Doc as he lies dying inside the sanitorium. I love that for the first and only time in the movie, that we see real emotions coming from Doc, when he pleads with his friend to leave him alone to die so that Wyatt won't have to witness his death. Such a sad, yet beautiful moment between them. And I love that Wyatt then thanks Doc for always being there for him before leaving him like is asked of him, and that we see Doc lift up the book given to him from Wyatt and sees that Wyatt had written about him as his friend. Such a beautiful and powerful moment, and this is probably the best acted scene throughout the entire movie. Overall... I really love this movie. The action, the cinematography, the music, the acting, and the inclusion of true historical events and figures. The gunfight at the O.K. Corral, where the Earps and Doc Holliday battle for the first time against a number of the Cowboys is an iconic battle within the history of the wild west... extremely dangerous and lawless times. Quite an amazing fight. Thank you once again, Dillon! I loved your reaction, and I am so happy you enjoyed this movie! Please do let me know if you would have an interest in watching Wyatt Earp some time down the road. Thank you! Sincerely, Heidi
