Hey guys, I'm back with another video!! So, I finally decided to sit down to watch and experience Saltburn with you guys!! I did see this movie in the cinema, although under interesting circumstances so there was a bunch I missed. That's why I thought I'd rewatch here so I can fully understand all the gross, filthy yet beautiful things about this movie. Enjoy!! xoxo

the scene of felix taking oliver to see his family gagged me more than any of the “weird/crazy” scenes. the secondhand embarrassment and feeling embarrassed myself that i fell for oliver’s lies made me feel the most uncomfortable
Yessss that’s the scene that shocked me the most out of all the other scenes
Same
Oh my god same here! That scene at his house had me so uncomfortable
absolutely agree, it was way worse than all of them
true
Also I think Felix was a genuinely good person too, even after he discovers Oliver is lying, he doesn't tell Oliver's or his own parents and still wants Oliver to have his birthday party. He also notices how hard Oliver's parents try for him so he makes Oliver stay for the dinner they prepared.
I don't thin I agree because he is very possessive and I fear his cousin wasn't the only family member who he fingered...
I feel like you missed a lot if you think Felix is good. Its implied that Felix and his family always bring “the less fortunate” home as a charity case but its actually for their own entertainment. Its made clear with Pamela how they throw them out when they tire of them. He lets the party go on because it would be embarassing to tell everyone that he got lied to. As for the interaction with his parents, Felix was trying to make Oliver sit in the uncomfortable situation as a way to punish him. No one in the movie is a “genuinely good person” imo.
@@angelinamikkili4806true but i feel felix was kinda the most different from the rest of the family
No such thing as good people in upper class Britain.
@@angelinamikkili4806 Felix makes no indication that he brings home people for bad reasons. Pamela was his family’s decision. The party was him trying not to embarrass Oliver. And having Oliver sit with his lies is the least form of punishment when he’s just mislead him for months!
the DELIVERY of "sorry if my performance wasn't good enough" at 29:31 kills me every time like how is it that oliver is fucking bonkers and has lied about his whole life but he said that so pitifully that for a second i was like aw babes :/
I think the ending also shows how much of an actor he was! All his mannerisms and awkwardness were faked
as a film student the cinematography in this movie made me very happy 🤭
Damn, Brad must've been really distracted in the cinema, good for him 😄
The breakfast scene after Felix's death is how grief works. You go from bawling your eyes out to everyday tasks back to bawling your eyes out then making funeral plans then watching a tv show, and it all feels so weird.
As someone who lost his mom (my most loyal friend) to cancer a month and a half ago and is going through grief I can tell this is totally true. I just can't even think about my mother right now, not the good moments, not the bad ones. I'm just living my life as if she never existed because when I think about her, specially at the silence of the night, I just feel devastated and end up crying for hours. The scene is exaggerated, because it is a satire, but the message behind it is true.
i can’t think of him at all or i will instantly cry.
I just think it's great that Barry Keoghan gave a completely unhinged performance! There was definitely some risk taking there and I hope it's acknowledged.
What’s wild is the tub scene and the Bloody Mary scenes shocked me, the grave scene I saw coming once he started removing his shirt but still had me like “Nooooo!!!” But taking him to see his parents? I’d assumed he’d lied about his dad dying, but once he was adamant about not visiting I KNEW his parents were normal and I was sooooooo uncomfortable during that visit! Agh!!!
I’m not proud to say I watched this in cinema with my dad before we knew what it was about 😔
omg GAG
Your dad must have been thrilled
I watched it with my entire family at Christmas 🤭
@@_dont_mind_me ye that sounds much worse I would’ve just genuinely started crying
Lmao
Worth noting but you are the ONLY person whose reaction I've watched who has mentioned the music at all - I am OBSESSED with the score. It's so good.
When I heard "No Cars Go" by Arcade Fire playing very subtly in the bar I knew this movie was scored to perfection.
Yes!
same
Actually, Will Watches does a more in depth look at the whole film, as he usually does. He even goes into the whole class structure, which most reaction KZheadrs do not about, Saltburn.
@@binkytube never heard of him. So there's that
I’d read somewhere that when Oliver was dancing through the house at the end, that he went the opposite of Felix’s first tour when he arrived there. Just a fun little fact! Love you Brad!! 💕
"Not to discriminate, but I will." I was dying.
i LOVE the aspect ratio of this film! It adds so much to the visuals and it’s literally just two black bars lollll
i agreeee!!
Yep, love that one too.
As a quiet person, WE DO NOT CLAIM HIM!!! I need him in jail😭😭
You guys all are weird and untrustworthy. Sorry not sorry
@@e.k.d6181Lmao you did not just write that with a straight face
The laughing to *Pamela died* 😱 was too good
29:51 Barry’s real Irish accent coming through on these lines
this movie was an emotional rollercoaster and i LOVED it
The symbolism in this movie is everything, especially from a literary perspective. The costumes play into it really well.
As an English African, the breakfast scene hit home. There are no tears in our home and certainly no emotional outbursts.
That’s so sad honestly
@@JoyaLewisTheMusician it is what it is
@@natashadarko3066 I'm African African with British roots. Thank goodness we're allowed to talk about our feelings. It took a while but we got there lol 😂
I swear, Barry Keoghan had me in a chokehold while seeing this in theaters. Glad to see Brad was making the same reactions I had😂
Bathtubs and graves will never be the same again.
this movie was crazy but i can't stop thinking about it 😭
@@sentiments1562 it drives me crazy that people are disgusted by the vampire scene 😂 dudes literally jump at the chance to have sex with girls when they're on their period so they can rawdog
The fact Farleigh got away alive (pretty much the only one), is just so weird and yet so tale telling. Its not that Oliver ever liked him, but he wasn't in Felix's class. He wasn't his prey. And he actually really cared. The family made it pretty clear that just as the mother, Felix used to have a 'project', a toy for entertainment. And that Oliver was just one of them. When Pamela dies, Oliver realizes it the strongest maybe. Whereas Farleigh was actually really passionate about these people. He cared. Or maybe Oliver's means only grew more extreme. The tear he's crying when he kissed the sister in the tub and knows sex won't get him out of it this time, its like he knows what he has to do and yet feels sad about it.
For anyone who slightly recognised the nerd at 3:38, its Aemond from House of the Dragon 😂😂 Oh and Farleigh is Simon from Midsommar! Love you Brad, fav youtuber ❤️
I loved this movie. The cinematography was so beautiful, the acting, the direction, my gods. The last shot makes SO much sense to me - the moment when he is utterly, entirely himself - no clothes, no pretensions, shedding his old life like clothes dropping to the floor. Absolutely psychopathic creature he is, I think it was totally in his character to dance naked as a huge fuck-you to the upper class too. Like a 'see, now I'm putting my **** on everything you hold sacred and dear'.
in another world, oliver never lied and him n felix lived happily ever after 😭😭 i fucking love this movie i’m so glad you reacted to it. also felix and venetia die in 2007, and then oliver finds out sir catton died in 2022. so at that point it had been 15 years since everything went down!
"WHO SAID THAT" LOL (talking about the ending) totally needed; especially the stones over the puppet master box... when they were 4 puppets and Oliver was the puppet master... genius!!!! And didnt connect the foreshadowing at first but it tied it up at the end for me
Happy new year Brad! Gosh Barry Keoghan is so good at playing little freaks 😂 I would've been obsessed with Saltburn if i had seen it as a teen , it's a good romp of a film!
i watched this at the movies and it started at like 9:30pm so it was a little cinema and the vibes were so good, like everyone was giggling or gasping or screaming it was so fun, it was like a sleepover with strangers
Also we do know how much time passed from when he left Saltburn! It was 2007 when he left then the cafe waiters are wearing masks when Elisbeth meets Oliver again so it's post covid! He waited over ten years to get back to the mansion, probably even more to own it.
This movie made me feel so many emotions like girll💀
Absolutely loved this movie, a masterpiece. I was gooped after the plottwist. I actually loved Farleigh even though he was an absolute ass, but he just managed to see through Olivers bullshit from the start. He IS still a hypocrite though lmao
I agree 100%, the end was perfect in showcasing who he was and how he viewed the family. The final shot had me absolutely gagged.
i love how you took this movie so unseriously, your reaction was hilarious 😹
I think it's a beautiful film. Definitely needs to win some awards for cinematography.
you are so brave for going to watch this movie with a date 😂 happy new years brad!
The first part of the movie takes place in 2006 and the newspaper said the father died in 2022, so the time jump at the end of the movie is 16 years later.
you can't say "nobody cares for the intro" and then throw "I went on a date" in the same sentence, that's just brutal jajajajaj loved thisa video as always loved your reactions, this channel has so much personality to it, happy new years!
42:15 "Saltburn" is amazing but "Promising Young Woman" (from the same writer, produder and director) is a BANGER! You should watch it next! ❤
The actor that plays Michael, Ewan Mitchell, is in House of the Dragon and its crazy how much different he looks in that show to here. Hopefully you'll react to it after Game of Thrones.
I fkn knew that was Aemond!
feels as if I waited forever for this, so happy to see Brad's reaction to this movie !!
sorry it took so loooong
@@BradEvans21 it was 100% worth the wait !!
how is this the first video of yours i’ve seen, i’m absolutely wetting myself you’re soooo funny and your eye for good cinematography is insane!
As I was watching this movie I was HOPING you would react to it! Thanks for your fun content, Brad. Also…them eyebrows, babes! 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥
Agreed the dance at the end was definitely necessary it’s his victory lap! This movie grossed me out but I think it was great a real psychological movie on class. Can’t wait for more GOT! Balls in your biscuit tin 🤣
“What’s with the dark?” Dark academia, baby. And don’t we love it
okay but Farleigh slayed he was the only one that survived cause he always clocked oliver like idc he served
27:42 '' gorgeous gorgeous very beautiful shot right there well done well done''😭😭
What a movie AND What a Critique! You brighten a gloomy day around here ❤
The cinematography is beautiful. The writing is so good. I agree this movie fantastic.
seeing felix in costume at the party and then we get to that shot of him laying on the floor of the maze as it pans in on him... as very literal fallen angel... YOOOOO-
If someone had just put in a call to Miss Jane Marple in St. Mary Mead (phone number:3,5), lives would have been saved. She would have made quick work of it. Saltburn even has a library for the great reveal. (Although, the "great reveal in the library" is in Hercule Poirot's domain.)
7:41 you’ve just unlocked several childhood memories with that song omg
@BradEvans21 Ok Brad. I believe as smart as Oliver is. So is Farleigh. I think just how Oliver could sense who people really were. I believe Farleigh was doing the same thing in a less deadly way. Also I believe Oliver respected Farleigh games and that's why he didn't kill him. Also Being shady fun is not killing off a family! So yeah Brad rethink . #TeamFarleigh
No. He didn't kill Farliegh because he didn't stand in the way of him inheriting Saltburn. There was no reason to kill him. I do like Farliegh ....but he was a dick
@@kathleenclark815 you're both right
This film is a piece of CINEMA! It's so fun to watch and I feel the weirdness just adds to the characters even more. The whole story was amazing and it's so cool to watch the plot unfold. I loved Brad's reaction, he's always the most fun to watch. ❤ As always I'm going to recommend Tick Tick Boom, I just think it's so great.
I NEED a sequel of Farleigh getting revenge for the family LOL
no thanks xoxoxox
HAPPY NEW YEAR BRAD!!! so excited for another year of superior content
Just noticed something new from this video, you emphasizing that Oliver said he didn't smoke since you related made me realize that was the first lie we caught him in because soon after we see him smoking while he watches Felix through his window 😮
I’ve never wanted a reaction from you more in my life 😆😆😆
HAPPY NEW YEAR🎉 i have been waiting for this reaction tho!! super super excited
Happy New Year! Can’t wait for this reaction, watched this movie two days ago and was so impressed, it kept me gripped all the way through and I cannot remember the last time I reacted like that to a movie! So excited to see what you think Brad!
i've been waiting for this reaction, i love this movie, so excited you did it !! ❤
Love your channel so much! I love watching while I crochet & your vibe is immaculate, thanks for posting! Sending love from Chicago!
Best video on Saltburn ever. Just like I knew it would be. Thanks for brightening up my day, Brad 🌞
had a really shitty day today, but as usual your videos are just really entertaining and really lift the spirits! loved the video and love your channel!
I stumbled on this channel looking for Saltburn reactions… I started watching the movie a couple weeks ago, but stopped when Olly got to Saltburn and shown his room. I envisioned rich pricks taking advantage of him! Thank you Brad, for making the creepiest creepsville movie rather giggly with your commentary. I am now subscribed and can’t wait to watch all your videos! Well done, sir.
I have been searching for a British KZheadr who reacts to films for so long & im so glad I stumbled across you cos you are bloody hilarious 😂
YES BRADLEY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
Oh my god… a few days ago my PARENTS said do you want to watch salt burn with us (I hadn’t heard of it and they didn’t know what it was about£ VERY VERY glad I said no 💀😂
Happy new year!! And great video 🫶🏼
omg you’re HILARIOUS BRAD!!! i loved the “🥺👉🏼👈🏼” joke u made that had me rolling
I really appreciated your take on this movie because I was not a fan when I watched it…but you made me see it with completely different eyes and my thoughts have changed. Great vid as always. ❤
I never understand the ( Farleigh ) hate. He was the only that survived . Farleigh truly clocked what a liar Oliver truly was.
so farley being classist from the beginning was him clocking how much of a liar oliver was? before oliver began lying? interesting
Farleigh is a parasite who felt threatened by Oliver’s presence siphoning the family’s resources away from himself. If he did clock Oliver for what he was it would have been due to recognizing himself.
My favorite movie of 2023. Glad you loved it, too! People get too caught up in certain scenes and not paying attention to the overall movie: writing, acting, cinematography, etc.
11:06 EDITING SLAY OML you are doing the damn thing
I’m so happy you watched this!! I’m excited for Fellow Travelers
Imagine all the people who watched them with their families
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS BRADDD
omg i’m so excited to see ur reaction to this !!!!!!!
Balls in your biscuit tin 😂 Great reaction as per usual ❤
Love the fit in this video plus the eyebrows are amazingggg 💕
I freaking love you and completely agree with everything you've said. Everything was there for a reason and quite a few of the gag-worthy moments were actually improvised. *balls in your biscuit tin was the best film contribution I've ever heard.
love that it was that specific scene 11:20 that did it for you too realising ollie was kinda cute and you love his voice because same (despite everything afterwards thanks)
Brad I really appreciate ur intros and I always sing along with the "uhh uhh uhh hi" bit :3
i’ve been waiting for this 🎉
I loved the movie, it's really bold and I'm here for that! Bravo, Emerald Fennell and kudos to the whole cast and crew, they did amazing! I like when we really feel things watching movies, good or bad but that's a gift of the movies.
Now we just have to gang up on Zzavid and have him watch this…
23:53 🤣🤣🤣 "I actually know how to werk." 😂 Happy New Year Brad!
Brad is a freak. We cheer! Emerald Fennell did say the Cattons are like a family of vampires. They feed from the misfortunes of poor people. Oliver then becomes a vampire, too, and "eats" them. Btw Oliver IS in love with Felix- that's what the visual montages show us- that he is lying to himself.
this movie had me GAGGED and i live for it
YYYEEEESSSS I WAS WAITING FOR THISSS AHHH ❤️❤️
brad as soon as this movie came out i couldn't wait for your reaction
we also went around singing olly olly olly in primary school (I grew up in aberdeen in scotland) hahahaha that just unlocked MEMORIES
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS 🔥🔥🔥🔥
it’s pure cinema the art of this film is so beautiful. (i’m a film student so yes i’m bias)
happy new year luv u
20:03 as someone who used to have them that's actually one of the more tamer kinks in the kink/fetish world. And i DEFINITELY had that kink. During that time i would get damn near insatiable for......"activities." 🤣 But it's definitely not for everyone. Edit: I don't think Saltburn was his *initial* objective. I think it was wanting to be a part of that family. And wanting Felix. I still believe he was deeply in the closet about his feelings for Felix. But when Felix learned the truth and he had to kill him, he went back to Venetia (hence why he kissed her). And then she rebuked him and called him out so he killed her. THEN his goal became Saltburn itself. Because if he couldn't marry in, he was gonna get it however he had to.
One of the best movies in years. Loved it
lovedd this reeactionnn thanks brad :)
AHH - love when you postttt❤
