I mean that is just like so dope to me Like I respect all of you. Thank you so much for what you do for putting your life on the line I mean, you don't have you're risking your life for strangers Running into burning buildings or running burning forests or burning whatever not knowing if you're gonna live or die And I respect this so all the men and women out there that have sacrificed Thank you very much. Now. This is based on a true story Um that happened a number of years ago I didn't know much about this story until the trailers came out and I did react to it If you would like to see my reaction go ahead and subscribe to my channel and just look at my videos It is there. Unfortunately for me a a-hole did ruin the ending for me I'm probably they probably just assumed that I know they know I didn't know the ending of it because they Ruin the ending for me, you know in my reaction video, but I'm not going to do that for you But this cast right here or before I talk about the cast Let me talk about the director. It's been directed by Joseph Kozinski He did try on legacy that came out in 2010 Which was a sequel to the 80s version and I was pretty disappointed with that film other than the soundtrack by Daft Punk I believe soundtrack was lovely. I mean like seriously Back in the day when I was working now, it's been a while That was something that did give me kind of pump when I was running or in the gym or whatever Great soundtrack. He also did oblivion Which had tom cruise or a few years after that and I really did like that film not too many other people did It wasn't the best thing in the world, but I enjoyed it And now he is doing only the brave and for the most part he knocked this film out of the park The cast is phenomenal. You got josh brolin. You got jeff bridges. You got miles teller You got jennifer connelly and you also have teller kits And the acting from all these prominent actors and actresses is this top notch It's from the very first frame of this movie You get a sense of love and family like these guys really do love and each other to death On this fire team and I really also love the relationship between jeff bridges and this is a true story Like I said, but uh, not jeff bridges, but josh brolin and jennifer connelly's role in this film They are a married couple and they felt like a real married couple I've never been married before but my parents have been married for a long time and all the big ring that you know Goes on back and forth that was on the forefront of this picture and I really did like it. I really did appreciate it There was a sense a real deep sense of realism to their relationship And when they're going through what they're going through and you know, I don't blame them I mean like I was just sitting on myself like yeah I mean this just seems so real and you know, they're bringing it to life, you know with their acting And um, you know, it was great. Uh, like I said, all the other actors was great as well They all come from different walks of life. And like I said, I really did feel a good sense of camaraderie between these firemen and Well, there wasn't any fire women in this Um, but I really did get a good sense of uh, you know the camaraderie that they had the bond that these men had, you know Uh between each other. I also did learn a lot about fighting fires I've never fought a fire before but towards the beginning of the film it was so cool They had like I I guess and this took place in Arizona Um, there also was some firemen that came out of california. I believe josh boland's role He's playing someone named eric marsh. I think he said he was from, uh, carolina or south carolina I could be wrong. Maybe he was just making a reference to something else But what was cool about it in Arizona? I guess they just have this set up to where if you have a pool and you know fire fire people Firemen and women they want to come borrow some water They had like a helicopter come with like a giant vacuum and suck the water out the pool and just kind of go off And i'm not i'm not this is not really a spoiler But as it was doing that the owner of the house just came my side and was like, you know Saluting the people in the helicopter and kind of gave them a thumbs up like yeah Go ahead take as much water as you need You know, and I just really do like that the humanity that was in that scene like that just like look You know, we're in this together, you know, I know you're gonna take good use of my water It is yours, you know have it do what you can to save lives and I really did like that I mean like it was a strong sense of camaraderie and love and there was just also a great sense of humanity as well And the the bond between the firemen was just great I love how honest they were You know with each other and the way they acted portrayed that on screen was, um, you know was splendid. It was spectacular Um something, you know, I did learn a little bit about fires and then the way they fight fires and like like that I mean it was just so cool how You had different people doing different things and you had your lookout and you had the people over here But the lookout they just would sit there on a hill on a mountaintop and just stare at the fire Sometimes for just a few minutes sometimes for hours for days and try to predict where it's gonna go And that can be very hard to predict with unforeseen weather Especially when you have a bunch of wind going around I mean the fire can be blown any way But for the most part it just always seemed like they had a plan or a backup plan Or a contingency plan to fight these fires And of course you had to deal with egos and you know different personalities like that and people got into it But that's just normal, you know, and it just really did feel like real people, you know on screen Like I like I did not see an actor and just broding a Jennifer Connelly I feel like these were the real people because they just were just doing such a great job on screen, you know putting this together Um something that I wish would have been explained a little bit better from like, you know A layman like myself that just doesn't understand how fire how you can fight fires because sometime They were actually like lighting fires and they had like torches with gas and stuff like that There were lighting fires to you know fight the fire Of course, I don't know what I'm talking about. I don't know what I'm doing So I'm not going to sit here and say that's stupid, you know, why are you doing that? I'm not a professional So I'm sure they had a valid reason for you know doing these actions with lighting fires with their torches Uh, but I just as a as someone that just didn't know much about it. I was sitting there kind of confused I mean another tactic that they used the course was they would draw lines in the sand or the dirt or whatever And that made sense to in the to a degree for me But at the same time, this is a true story. It's not like a movie So I was sitting I was like, well, it really wouldn't make sense if somebody just came in and a white coat And just explained everything to somebody. I mean that's that's just not logical They could have stressed the truth a little bit, but I was just kind of sitting here like, okay Maybe they just don't have an opportunity to do that I mean even if they had a new recruit coming in and they were just trying to fight fires They could have had a scene like okay may yeah, this is we fight fires like this because of this and da da da But at the same time given the situation No, these are like elite firemen. So they're not just gonna, you know, bring someone in off the street That doesn't know anything and actually they did do that. But um With miles teller with miles teller miles teller's character Uh, but I don't know. I mean I was just kind of confused. Okay. Why are they doing that? Um, there was also a great sense of danger in the film. I did, you know, feel like, okay, man Are they gonna live or they're gonna die? I don't know. This is going to be a happy ending And whether it is or isn't I'm not going to say you're just going to have to see the movie for yourself Because I just don't like spoiling movies for people and also the soundtrack or the score for this movie was great So it was very moving and it fit well within the rest of the picture Just another graph that I had the sometime the transition of time to me was just a little bit sloppy towards the beginning of the movie Not towards the end of the movie. I mean, they were able to provide subtitles with, you know, three months later, nine months later, three years later, etc But towards the beginning, I would just really just you know, I really wasn't a fan of the transition of time It did come across a little confusing for me. But overall guys like, um, I I went to go see this, uh Uh with my mother and you know, we try to catch movies together, you know, at least once a month You know something like that and she wasn't really wanting to see the film at first But after what she was, you know in tears a little not in tears, but you know a little sniffles and a little teardrop here and there She's like, you know brandon. Thank you so much. I do recommend you Um, I do appreciate you recommending recommending man. I can't talk this movie to me I didn't want to see it at first but I'm so glad I saw it So that's just a testament of how good the movie is because it really is good It really is one of the better films not the best not remotely. I won't say the best That review comes up next, but it is one of the better films of the year if I had to rate Only the brave out of a one out of 10, I would easily give this a nine out of 10.
