An underrated film of Adam Sandler's career.
"When the Twin Towers went down on that fateful morning in 2001, Charlie Fineman (Sandler) lost everything important in his life. Five years have passed since Charlie's wife and daughters died, and now the once-successful and sociable man has become a withdrawn shadow of his former self."

'I get that you're in pain, but you got each other. You got each other.'... This is my favorite line in cinema. It's so much worse to be sad and alone than to be sad and with at least one other someone.

The in-laws are acting in a way where they resent that Charlie can't mourn with them and are angry at his pretending their daughter didn't exist as well as hurting at how broken he is. What a mess!

@ShaDHP23 Жыл бұрын

That's only what they perceive. They have no idea exactly what Charlie's fighting on the inside because he doesn't tell them why he doesn't speak or try to reminisce. The whole movie is about his inability to face the truama and it culminates into him finally being able to talk to them and tell them exactly why he doesn't need to mourn the way they do or with them. It's not an easy solution and divisive but it's him finally taking a step back towards the light.

I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t just get over it. I would cry and I couldn’t sleep. I’d wake up in middle of night and cry. Was a deep anxiety filled depression. It sent me down a darker path cause I didn’t know how or where to go to get help. So this movie I understand this movie on another level.

@matthewmason7792 3 ай бұрын

No I feel bad for the parents. After all it was their daughter that they were grieving as well. Were they insensitive to Charlie’s method of coping? Yes but from what I seen from the film they didn’t exactly seem malicious. They just misunderstood Charlie’s way of grieving because they too were grieving. Grief makes you do stupid things. Especially when it seems like the closest thing to that person you lost doesn’t seem to care or want to grieve in the same way. It doesn’t make what they did right but I don’t blame them. The lawyer on the other hand is a prick who openly weaponised a man’s crippling guilt and grief to make him look psychotic just to win a fucking case. He did this shit for a paycheque and nothing more. That man deserves no sympathy.

Sssooo...Until the last couple years I never cared for Adam Sandler's entertainment style. Never really cared for his stand-up. But then, on a whim, I watched, "Fifty First dates". I was blown away by his skills as an actor. Then I watched, "The Cobbler"; excellent movie. "Pixels" was awesome! and a couple others. This clip is all I have seen of, "Reign Over Me", and once again, I am blown away at Sandler's intuitiveness and skill. As he confronts the Templeton's, the body language alone is absolutely amazing. The vulnerability, and brokenness before he even says a word is absolutely astounding! Having lost two sons, a 13 year old, and later and adult, I understand the raw, visceral grief expressed. I now have to see this movie!

@officialFredDurstfanclub Ай бұрын

It did quite poorly in the box office, $22 mil on a $20 mil budget. I think the distributors didn’t know how to handle the movie in all honesty. This was Adam Sandler’s first fully dramatic role when he was primarily known for stuff like Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison at the time. He’d done stuff like Punch Drunk Love but that still had comedy elements whereas this was way more bleak and emotionally charged. I genuinely think people just weren’t ready for it. If the movie was made today, it would’ve likely done way better thanks to stuff like Uncut Gems proving he was perfectly capable of handling a dramatic film as the leading man.

Well it's deeper than that. Charlie has ptsd and crippling depression from the events of 9/11. To escape this profound pain, he runs away from the memories of his family and their deaths. He doesn't talk about them, he doesn't want to acknowledge their existence. It hurts too bad. He drowns himself in things like video games, food, and music to drown out the pain and ignores everything else. Nothing is enough, so he attempts suicide by cop by pointing his wife's empty gun at a cab driver in hopes of being shot by the cops. This doesn't work, and Charlie gets put in psychiatric care. His in-laws are fighting in court to keep Charlie there permanently, resulting in this scene.
