That was best Ben Affleck performance to me.

well said.

@@mikesmithz I kind of don’t get why they can’t still stay friends though. They don’t have to hang out all of the time, but they can still stay friends.

Gone Girl was pretty good

You only just now made me realize Ben Affleck is in this movie

DiTTo, wish I had somebody like that NOW as in RobinW's character as already have the friend types and they are GREAT... BTW: I would never say ... (ADMIT, Bring this UP) ..this in real life, LOL.. Now I have an issue, I see Will in my 13 y/o son and it I think I see myself with a "bullshit" as in at minimum or maybe I will say "AT-Best" ..UN-serious per se answer for "EVERYTHING"... Only thing is, my son does this, but so did I and thus it gets everyone else MAD, It gets me something nobody wants to understand or even can understand = SAD-DER... I can not even fix myself but MUST fix the what was supposed to be new and improved version all while being alienated (allowed it also) and gaslighted and realizing I was not the only one being gaslighted as thought a MOM would NEVER do that to her SON, Anyway, getting ahead of myself, its a crazy world and the best we can do it try to not be cynical?... Another good one is the court room speech in "scent of a woman" where he comes in to protect the actually good but poor charlie from all of the rich kids at his school as he knows he will be cast aside as he does not know how to defend himself, believes he is wrong, all for accidentally witnessing something yet not wanting to nor being EVER willing to Snitch on any of his classmates, even though he at best Dislikes them as people, its called "courage, its called integrity, the stuff leaders are made of as he says in the movie also; "Be Careful What Kind Of Leaders Your Breeding HERE.... Another one I like showing the adult finally learning and truth and discovering his own problems is; Two For The Money, so many good earlier 2000's movies and especially 90's.... Thanks for letting me RANT to ALL whom DO ...

Same, but I've never even seen it

I agree.

True that ❤️ That scene 🔥💔

It's not your fault

I don't know how to add a comment that isn't a comment reply. Is anyone confused around the 14:10 mark? I never thought that Will had to choose between the jobs and Skylar. I always saw them as separate goals, but not mutually exclusive. Snubbing the "job" was more a way of asserting his desires over his fears. Just like Skylar.

emotionally i'm sure that true to some extent. mechanically, the jobs being arranged for him were all east coast establishment jobs - naturally, under the circumstances. this was before the era of remote work and these places were all so full of themselves that even with his talents none of them was going to tolerate him going off to california and living his own life, if he was going to work for them he was going to have to come into their offices, stick with the program, work on their terms. which is why he rebelled against them.

How does one blame themselves for abuse? I’m curious. Like do they wake up every single day and literally say to themselves, “it’s my fault my mother abused me” etc? It’s obviously subconscious. I’ll ask again: how does one blame themselves for being abused?

@@MiaStayingCreative yes thats exactly what they do, especially when it comes to verbal abuse. You see your parents and you put them on a pedestal what they say goes especially when youve been raised and nurtured by them. The person who brought you into the world telling you that youre the worst thing that has ever happened to them and then continue to abuse you makes victims believe so.

Wow

Only Love may heal us. Only Love. We may call this Love God. The only important thing is to let ourselves be healed in this Love.

The guy in this video has a great metaphor, too, in my opinion: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bqlmqJxh0drPg4E.html I know that feeling. And yes, love has healed me, or atleast helped. And its so beautiful to go out.

I call it being trapped in my own head. As someone who's also been...lost for many years, I hope you're taking steps forward or at least found some clarity and peace of mind.

I think I’m there too. I’m more afraid of failure than I am depressed. I feel guilt and shame for any time I feel joy and positive for fear that will bring optimism and a desire to want to do more in my life.

Cause it's always the best friend the really helps you see the light, and be straight up honest with you.

I feel H is more the Humanities, English, Lit, History/American History, Politics, even Latin! Obv Law is huge too but had to mention it's just general humanities.

And yet the whole movie was filmed in Toronto with the school scenes being at the University of Toronto ;)

@@avocadoaficiando not the whole film, but yes, a majority of it was done at UoT, according to Wikipedia at least.

?

@@CSM100MK2 calm down, it’s a bit disrespectful and pretentious for sure. But honestly it’s the thought that counts in the end

@@CSM100MK2 A bit much

Soul is who we are since the Big Bang created the physical universe. There is no reason to miss Robin Williams when we can see and hear him perform. 🦄🫶⛎

​@@jackfryschman7576 how about the fact that we'll never get a new performance from him again?

It floods you like lifting the greatest burden.... that you never knew was there. I sobbed for what seems like an hour. And still do years later.

Yeah it made me think, I think because of a trauma response or entrenched trauma Will views the other foster kids he lived with as “siblings”, since he pretty much had no family.

First time understanding that part as well!

:)

I’d suggest My Little Thought Tree’s GWH therapy analyses if you are interested in that kind of thing. Great series

Yessss

☝️🤓

Exactly. This video sucks and is just stating the obvious

@@Mr.Goon3023 meh you’re nitpicking. That detail doesn’t change anything about the plot.

Thomas Foolery, Why would you project “nitpicking” onto someone that just stated a pure and simple fact?

@@ThomasFoolery8 Harvard is the legacy, prestige school dating back to the 1600's. MIT is the place where the real cutting edge math and science happens. That's the distinction. She is an upper-class, in it for legacy as much as anything else, but he is never motivated by that.

Good for you! People don't seem to realize their brains are elastic and adapt to what they experience. People terrify us because we don't have much experience, but with exposure, we adjust to socializing because it becomes something common.

Same

Same

same here. it's a great movie, and this video was a great analysis

I guess we're in a club

Same, this is such a great movie and performance by everyone. Something about Affleck's character pushing his friend to achieve more despite knowing his own limitations just hits deep.

75th like for you... here's to unlimited possibilities 🌟

The fact that you're 75 and still choosing to learn is what gives ME hope - I'm partially afraid that when I get close to that age, I will already have lost nearly of my interest for other things outside of my day-to-day world and that I would like nothing more than to just sit in front of my TV all day and waste my life away, like it looks like one of my grandfathers is doing.

@@davecullins1606 If you are concerned now about not being very connected when you age then you will still be learning new things. Maybe you could try to get your grandfather to give up some tv time to do things with you. Conversations are very welcome when we get old. Be interested in his life. Ask him questions about his past. Play scrabble. Take him places. Go for walks. Get him reading something you have read and discuss that. Too much tv only makes people depressed and even less interested in doing other things. Good luck to you. Oh....find some jokes here in KZfaqLand and tell your grandpa some of them. Have fun. Helping people is what we are supposed to do. Go do it. ❤ ✌ 😇

What did you study in college if you don’t mind me asking? If you went to school

Thanks Bruce

@@JustanObservation Excellent post by @Bruce spicer 👏 Although I think your videos would be worthy of being catalogued under the "Investigation, Analysis and Hypothesis" section of the worlds most prestigious public libraries. I don't know if that particular section actually exists in any libraries at present, but I'd argue that it should be created just so the populace can locate your fantastic content with ease! Keep up the great work my friend 👍

Same here. Every time I see it I gain a new piece of insight. Here, I gained yet more. A true masterpiece of art!

Only twenty times? “Those are rookie numbers, you gotta bump those numbers up."

Same here, never knew I could like this movie more

Agreed ! It's raw!

Totally agree. I second the motion.

I was taking a sip of juice when I read your comment and I put the cup down because my hand shaking. You’ve unlocked my fear as a new mom. I’m honestly in awe. How have you been able to deal with this tragedy? 😢 (Wishing you all the best Ms. Janet. -from Florida 🙏🏽❤)

@@StellaBella488 thank you, well one must deal, what does not kill you will make one stronger. It has been over 20 years and sad. Wish you the best of luck with your precious new child. ❤

Me too mate, i remember my father hitting me with a belt for my grades, saw when my mother and him got divorced, It was traumatic. I got disorder attachment and an avoidant one and for me is very hard trusting others and believe that someones loves me as i am, im with my first gf but is hard af, i musy change.

@@joseherrera1560 Yes, I relate. The trust issue is very hard to overcome. I used to have a forcefield up around me, and if anyone tried to get in, I turned very nasty and rejected them. Thankfully, I found a place where I belonged, and could breathe and then I fell in love. I think that finding love in my heart was the best thing that happened to me, and that starts with acceptance of oneself and others and, of course, be able to trust.

@@brushfuse thanks man, now im trying to change, i saw that i truly LOVE people and im afraid of losing them. in the past i tend to think that my relationships shouldnt Matter to me, that they must be superficial or i shouldnt opening somebody BCS of the fear of love someone and losing that person. Now my gf will study university in Germany and my best friend will be at Chile studying Erasmus, i have fear of compromise in long distance relationships, afraid if they find someone better and i think the best thing i can do i cut ties with them because it wont end well or something like that, but i love them . Cheers mate

Hey it's okay ! It was never your fault 🥹 you up my man

Thanks! I do plan to soon but not yet

Thank you Kameron!

Agree. Same thoughts here.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed
