I think that the pizza guy wasn’t disgusted by him but felt bad that he was helping this man kill himself with his addiction. He knew that Charlie wasn’t doing well, and seeing his appearance confirmed that, and his pizza delivery job was actively helping him kill himself

This movie is so sad, seeing Brendan Fraser sad even has a fictional character it’s super sad

as someone who doesn’t get very emotional over movies or tv shows, this movie absolutely broke me. it gave me everything i could handle and it brought me into a sad mood the next day as well

This film really touched me, bc of my personal experience with my own father. He died right after my 14 birthday, due to being morbidly obese, the last time I saw him is when I was leaving to go back to my mom's house, my dad was laying in his bed, skin pale as snow, purple eye bags, screaming in pain everytime he had too move anywhere. He was such a kind and generous man, and I miss him more than anyone could ever imagine. Nobody ever realizes how much pain people with morbid obesity go through.

The saddest part of This movie is that you realize that this is reality

What I find so poetic and yet tragic is that Charlie even though he was dying he saw the good in others and gave them a chance. Except for himself, Charlie didn't gave himself the chance to get better to be better for his Alan and most of all for his daughter.

saw it with my friends and had to try not to cry in front of the boys, powerful movie

I needed to see this today. I'm having a horrible week, I'm so stressed out, and I just got a burger, onion rings, and a shake for lunch to make myself feel better. I'm, uh, NOT going to finish it now.

This movie destroyed me like no movie has in a long time. Like I wasn’t just tearing up but straight up crying. Beautiful, heartbreaking, devastating, yet hopeful story of redemption led brilliantly by Fraser. The rest of cast is stellar, especially Hong Chau and Sadie Sink. They all elevate one another. This movie was incredible.

One of my favorite things about the end of this movie is how open to interpretation it is. It invokes conversation and thinking rather than just giving us all the answers. It gives us what is important without spoon-feeding what is obvious.

i think what broke me more is when he constantly apologises for everything

I was an ugly-sobbing mess at the end. It's such a beautifully depressing movie, and I haven't been affected by one in so long.

As someone dealing with bulimia and binge eating since I was fourteen the addiction towards food was so well portrayed in this film,almost better than any other portrayal of an eating disorder I’ve seen on screen.

when i watched the ending, i had my own interpretation of it.

This movie fucked me up. I've used food all my life as a coping mechanism. Since I was SA'd at 4 to my dad dying at 6. I finally got my wieght under control in the 8th grade with football and therapy. And then I hit a bad depresive epsiode and it all went to shit. I stopped playing football, i ate and ate and ate. When I saw the movie I had given up, I was already suicidel and figured it was a matter of time. But this movie reminded me of the people I care about and care about me. I've started waking and eating better and have already lost 20 pounds. This is the first movie I can say actually saved my life.

The Whale was the best movie I’ve seen in a long time. But man, at the end I was bawling like a baby. It’s been a very long time since a movie made me cry.
