BEFORE SINNERS!! Fruitvale Station Full Reaction Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects - Save & Invest In Your Future Today, visit: https://www.acorns.com/rejects Fruitvale Station Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review! In this emotional and powerful film, director Ryan Coogler’s feature debut brings to life the final day of Oscar Grant, portrayed by Michael B. Jordan (Creed, Black Panther), in a heartbreaking story based on real events. Joined by Octavia Spencer (The Help, Hidden Figures), Melonie Diaz (Charmed), and Chad Michael Murray (One Tree Hill, Freaky Friday), the film captures an unforgettable human story of injustice, family, and hope. Andrew Gordon (Cinepals) & Tara Erickson react to some of the most gut-wrenching scenes in the movie—including Oscar’s final moments, his interactions with his daughter, and the chilling BART station sequence. This film marked the beginning of a powerful collaboration between Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler, who went on to make Creed, Creed II (as a producer), Creed III (produced), Black Panther, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever together. Fruitvale Station remains a vital, emotionally raw viewing experience—and one that continues to resonate deeply over a decade later. #RyanCoogler #MichaelBJordan #React #sinners #blackpanther #blackpantherwakandaforever #killmonger #creed #Reaction #Reacting #MovieReaction #FirstTimeWatching #FruitvaleStation #OscarGrant #OctaviaSpencer #TaraErickson #Cinepals #EmotionalReaction #FruitvaleStationReaction #reelrejects #drama The Last Of Us Season 2 Episode 1 Reaction: https://youtu.be/counvkzI9Iw Boyz N The Hood (1991) Reaction: https://youtu.be/0vBlHdZaLag Remember The Titans Reaction: https://youtu.be/f5tB3y61X9E Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 Reaction: https://youtu.be/7iGnaYqZf5U School Of Rock Reaction: https://youtu.be/E9WXjS1VT5w Civil War Reaction: https://youtu.be/JNkCoNREc9k 0:00 Checking In! 2:41 Fruitvale Station Reaction 40:24 ACORNS 42:05 Fruitvale Station Review Follow *Tara Erickson* on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TaraErickson Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taraerickson/ twitter: https://twitter.com/thetaraerickson Follow Andrew Gordon On Socials: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MovieSource Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/agor711/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/Agor711 Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Aparrel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ POWERED BY @GFUEL Visit https://gfuel.ly/3wD5Ygo and use code REJECTNATION for 20% off select tubs!!

I don’t know what’s worse: the fact that this is so fucking heartbreaking and stomach turning, the fact that this is a true story, or the fact that this is still happening to this day.

In real life, the officer only did 11 months, which says a lot about how nothing really changed.

The fact that they put the handcuffs on him after being shot wrecks me every time

Also fun fact I’ve read that the film needed more funding and Octavia Spencer used her connections and also her own funds to help. Think that’s why she’s listed as a co-producer.

I was living in Oakland when this happened. I used to catch the train at the Fruitvale Station to go to work. When this happened the entire city of Oakland took to the streets. Oakland is very diverse so we had all ethnicities, all social classes, out there protesting. Oh, and Ryan Coogler is from Oakland which is why he uses Oakland as a back drop of his movies. And lastly, BART stands for Bay Area Rapid Transportation.

I knew exactly what was going to happen and I still cried while I was watching this reaction. Damn it. 2025. And not much has changed.

Michael B. Jordan should’ve won Best Actor award because he was outstanding.
