Thanks

@@elvisrodriguez3297goddamn it i was gonna say that

He got Big Ben Stiller vibes but with more of a theatre kid vibe (like the ones to figured stuff out)

Thank you!

Incredibly underrated. A very touching film.

That's what I was hoping for too!

It’s one of my all time favorite movies

I was so unsure going into that movie. I thought I wasn't going to like it, just because of the premise, but it completely overthrew my expectations. I cringed so many times, but all the performances were perfect and very moving.

I’m very happy you liked my movies

Big sammee

it was one of my favorites to act in too lol

I drive

Didn't really get it since I haven't watch it before, but I'm assuming it's must be a really good movie.

@@NateDoesYTwatch it. Everything about it is so perfect and beautiful. From the soundtrack, to the cinematic shots, to the character of the driver

That era of his career is not given nearly enough recognition

For me it’s his dark post bladerunner literally me era

😊😊😊😊😊😊

Stay (2005) actually left a mark on me for a good couple of weeks. The character of Henry Letham actually haunted me LOL

Of all time??

We are enough

We are Kenough

We are KENOUGH

@@schooldunce6810 so hey, check me out, yeah I'm just ken

i cant sit the movie through with all that singing in between

​@@ClassicTorbro it's a musical

I hate musicals

@@dolxx42 yeah i didnt know that

@@ClassicTor i actually i love you, will u marry me?

Men also go through that tho. It's not just women.

@@androow1983 Yes, in a different way. There's toxic masculinity and a society that expects men to behave in a certain way. Both sexes are oppressed in their own way, and that's what I believe the film was trying to show.

@@jademusic1211 Then the film was just saying that the only thing men go through is depending on women, when men go through everything the women went through in the movie. You don't have to include it in the movie, but I don't like how they make it seem like men depending on women or else they feel invalidated is the only thing they go through.

Exactly, I think alot of people misunderstand what it's trying to say, it's not "manhating" or anything, it's just showing the effects of the patriarchy and societal rules that both men and women suffer from

@@androow1983 No, that's looking at it all too simplistically to say that the movie is suggesting that men depending on women and needing to be validated by them is all they go through.😕 You have to remember that the film was a satire poking fun at gender roles and expectations by flipping it on its head, while also showing how each gender is equally oppressed by these expectations..not to mention that Ken's role literally represented how he's treated in Barbie's world..as an accessory, and that that was wrong. In the end, Barbie realizes this and tells Ken that he's enough just as he is. He doesn't need her to be special or feel validated. He is "Kenough". 🙂

I think you put more thought into it then him

@@PearlTenderloin yeah his take on Barbie is tethering around the lines of Ben Shapiro's thoughts

The fact you said “alt right pipeline” shows how invalid your opinion is for the male experience Or you’re just ghey

Well put. Just as feminism is beneficial to women AND men :)

"Generous" how

I completely agree

i need to watch it but i’m afraid i’ll cry my eyes out lol

It's a great movie... that I never wanna watch again

@@snoopyluvr1111you will lol. And might feel depressed for rest of the day haha

@@sderit’s a guarantee

You’re the man 🫶

just watch drive. gosling barely speak in this movie, he is just silent but expresses so much with it

Clif Martinez changed my life

@@sder I really hope he and Nicolas Winding Refn reunite for another movie sometime soon. Those two create masterpieces, together.

@@sder Have you heard Martinez's score for Soderbergh's 2002 remake of Solaris? Brilliant. Up there with the best of Brian Eno, Tangerine Dream etc...

so you didn't relate to his character? that's really all "literally me" means. i will never understand people that shit on that aspect as if the emotional impact isn't important. it's like saying "i like Chopin, but not because of his instrumental ballads, i'm not some kind of philistine!" like that's his entire THING. he was the one to invent that!

@@JackPorter you got all that from “No, not because he’s literally me”?

I need to give it a rewatch very soon. Thanks for watching!

Damn who knew Ryan gosling was such a narcissist

no no, i agree with you on this. Some of the critiques of Barbie were strange to me.

No, you're completely right! Do not to invalidate how you feel because you're a woman. I think there is a point to be aware of that the majority of people saying ken was the only good part of barbie consist to a large majority of men (who clearly did not get the point of barbie) :)

Glad I could help!

@sder Can I just say I only discovered your channel like 2 days ago and now I've watched all your videos I'm a little sad........make more!!! 🤣 But seriously tho, your videos are great, intelligent, interesting and very entertaining. And I meant to say loved Ryan, not love Ryan. Can't wait to see what your video is about. Hope you're good!

@@tyranitanth6956 Thanks for watching! And fear not, more videos are on the way!

make what grow? 🤨

@@hel2727 my love

I remember in high school leaving my shift at a grocery store to catch the last showing of la la land with my buddies. It was 11 o’clock and we were the only guys in the theater. We all wanted to be ryan gosling. We all started listening to jazz after and watched the Oscar’s together. And we’re collectively upset when the movie got robbed

almost lost interest in watching the video as whole after his comments on the Barbie movie... sounds like someone isn't able to understand satire when it doesn't serve him? he clearly missed the point entirely.

@@4louufr lmao

I’m glad someone else noticed this too, I was thinking the same thing

@@4louuit ain’t that deep

@@mccapo9505i mean considering the entire narrative of barbie is to take the oppressive nature of men in cinema-belittling women in roles that make them look dumb or objectifying them for centuries-and flipping that narrative around, i think it kinda IS that deep. he clearly didn’t get it and what he says is kind of funny considering the parts he didn’t like about the movie as a man are exactly the parts that he wouldn’t have even noticed if the sexes were switched.

It was about the female experience. I don't think that the feminist tones were too strong/overbearing and I actually really enjoyed the movie, but there were many many instances when the intelligence/empowerment of women came at the expense of men or just making men seem stupid. The only way that it "appealed to the male experience was by teaching Ken to be okay with being alone, and not finding his identity in something else. "I am kenough". Which in reality is not something men actually want. (edit) Meaning they want something to be a part of and a way to prove themselves, although being told that we are enough is a comforting sentiment.

​@@broadbandreworkexactly, imo the Barbie movie shows men that this is what it's like for women.

​@@broadbandreworkit every movie there's been multiple movies for women empowerment

yeah he completely missed the entire point of the movie which is annoying. tbh he lost me early on in the list when he made it clear that he hasn't even watched a lot of these films recently, but then to completely and negligently misunderstood Gosling's most recent work.... that makes for a very unreliable filmography analysis

​@@abelhart5510you realize that any time men/Ken were belittled in Barbie was intentionally ironic... it was to highlight how women have been treated in media and irl forever. I don't think Barbie did a great job at driving home a lot of the points it tried to make, but the overall point is that any type of oppressive behavior is bad. the human experience is a difficult one and the patriarchy harms everyone. that was the point

yes exactly my point

Was literally about to comment this EXACT same thing hahaha. It's like dude... I think you may have missed the point... because that is exactly the type of take that the film is poking fun at

We understand films better when we think about it but I believe the vibe of the film doesn't stays with the viewers so they think about it

it was really shocking. obviously he doesn't understand satire when it doesn't serve him

"what?!" ... "exactly my point"..."you..missed the point"..."he doesnt understand satire". Not one of you explained what your point is or what exactly he missed. Saying "you dont get satire" explains nothing. Tell us exactly what he missed and what exactly YOUR point is? Then we can judge if your points have any merit. Its very easy to disagree with someone...sometimes harder to defend why

Excellent film. I believe it’s more accurately split into 3 parts, but yeah it’s all great.

where do you watch the other halves?

@@savanna.loves.4710first half is Ryan gosling robbing banks, second half is Bradley Cooper taking down corrupt police men, third half is Ryan goslings son doing drugs

​@@savanna.loves.4710other halves

​@@savanna.loves.4710It's all one movie. There's a reason for why some people say that there's "halves" in the movie though. Just watch it, you wont regret it

Yeah, I agree with you, it’s very underrated. I wonder how it will hold up on a rewatch.

@@sder I think that stay is one the the best Ryan gosling movies. I've rewatched it like 3 times and it just gives such a chilling feeling at the end especially. Spoiler alert: i mean the fact its about dreams and survivors guilt and you dont understand it until the end it kind of amazing.

I had no clue Ewan McGregor was in stay until I started watching and I was pleasantly surprised. I love both his and Ryan Gosling's performances, it is a great movie.

me too man, I have it high on the Ryan Gosling Movie List, i just love it man.

Probably

​@@sder Yeah, after watching it a couple times, the way I see it, the whole movie is a condemnation of any system in which one gender (ANY gender) is elevated and the other oppressed. The female-dominated "Barbieland" wasn't meant to portray the ideal society, but rather depict an obvious reversal of our patriarchal society to show people that this system is damaging to literally everyone, not just women. There's probably something about the fact that Barbie (who could be seen as the dominating "man" figure in this reversal) isn't allowed to show any signs of imperfection in her appearance or thoughts (the flat feet, "do you guys ever think about death?", etc.) and literally only shows emotion at the end, where she cries for the first time and realizes how beautiful it is to be human. Doesn't this kind of sound like how men are shat on for being vulnerable in our society, and feel like they have to maintain a certain image/status? The part where the president tells a Ken that she might let men into some lower circuit courts (but not the Supreme Court) is a reflection on how any advances women are allowed in political spheres/public spaces have to be fought really hard for, and even then, they're only offered an inch here and there to appease them (I really hope I don't have to drop a bunch of statistics here; they're easy to find). The way you and many others felt watching a female-dominated society (rightfully uncomfortable!!) is meant to shed light on the fact that it IS uncomfortable to have one gender so favored --- yet if if was reversed and the Barbie's were men and the Ken's were all women, it really wouldn't upset most people since that's our standard in film and media (and real life). It's SUPPOSED to be icky to have such an imbalance. It just only feels icky to some when it's women and not men in charge, because we're used to the MCs, dialogue-having characters, presidents, and strong personalities all being men (watch any movie that came out before the 70s...). The "little girls" you mention who dream of a woman-dominated society... isn't that the whole idea of Ken? Like you said, Ken just wants the Barbies how it feels to be inferior, and to gain an equal position in their world. It's not wrong for Ken to feel hurt at being so mistreated, just like it isn't surprising for girls to feel the same way in the real world. Equality is the goal, not a power gap. Also, at the end, Barbie tells Ken he doesn't need her validation to be worth something, which I thought was a generally empowering message no matter who you are!! :D Sorry for the essay comment ;P Just some thoughts!! Ryan killed this role and was a brilliant and complex character, as usual. Love that guy. Thanks for the video; I've found some new things to watch :)

(I mentioned old movies from pre-1970 but it's rampant in current ones too, with men dominating the speaking characters and dialogue)

​@sder people are VERY mad about your take on Barbie lmfao. It's quite funny to me seeing how many people are mentioning it, on a video mainly around Ryan gosling, they are outraged you wanted to see more of Ryan Rosling in a WOMAN MOVIE! Like yeah, I think it's pretty clear from the video that you only watched that film because you enjoy him as an actor, otherwise it wouldn't be your thing.

You must be a girl because as a guy i disagree Barbieland is a parody of the real manly life. It is more a parody of Matrix. We as guys show imperfections all the time by using sarcastic jokes, we talk about death and other deeper subjects because that's normal. How can be the Barbieland the mirror if the dolls learn about the real world and then the Barbieland becomes a parody of patriarchy. @@littleglitch4324

ryan Gosling was actually only the good part

Why can't anyone say that, including women? I have not seen the movie but focusing more on Ken is different then focusing solely on him. I really like the concepts and issues the film touches on and I do plan on watching it soon. As a man, I hope to learn a lot about the human experience for both genders. Maybe the movie could have focused more on Ken to get it's message across? He seems integral to the plot, so maybe if he was not showcased or focused on enough, the movie could struggle to get it's point across. Maybe that's not true, idk, but at face value that comment does not seem bad. Depends his intentions with that statement maybe?

I appreciate the feedback!

personally i really enjoyed gray man but great vid 😊

Donnie darko is incredible

Thanks so much!

You’re welcome Batman

u like him cuz ur horny, i like him cuz he’s me; we’re not the same

same thing happened with justin bieber

Appreciate it!

Thank you so much!

The majority are definitely worth checking out! Watching La La Land on a cruise sounds epic.

I appreciate that!

Love your work 🙌

Yes I agree! I was shocked to hear his opinions on Barbie and was very disappointed as he seemed to, like you said, miss the entire point of the movie!

so true

I disagree, i liked (a lot because of my performance in the movie) but the more i think in it the weirder the script looks,... yikes

Hi woman here! I can't stand Barbie :)

Cool!@@ZombiiChix

I agree. The point of the movie went completely over his head which is a little disappointing considering he made a whole video about movie reviews. I personally think a lot of it comes down to lack of film literacy, difference of taste, and not having an open mind towards the female experience. Calling the script eye rolling and wishing it was a movie solely about the kens just proves he didn’t get it. His description had me wondering if we even watched the same movie.

I completely agree with you. He missed the point of the film and genuinely sounds scared of a fictional fantasy world where women are in control, even though Barbie criticises that world too. It seems like an insecure reading of the film, like he's taken something personally. The rest of the video is good though, but maybe he needs more cinema literacy when it comes to textual analysis of films . Good start.

@@ej1709 totally, like I don't even know what version he was seeing. Maybe it emotionally effected him enough to think like "poor Ken, he deserves more" which is the psychological aim of the movie, but he just missed the whole, making a connection between Ken's experience and how women are treated in the real world, which is where this take becomes ignorantly misogynistic

I agreeee.

100% agree, this guy just missed the whole point of the movie, probably because he doesn't relate to it at all for obvious reasons

You deserve it

Much appreciated!

What??

⁠@@jackallen5424he’s saying his interpretation with the Barbie movie is lacking. And you should probably look into it again if you agree with the videos perspective about the movie.

Totally agree. I really wish he and all others who think that it was anti man would just try and look into it in a more meaningful and unbiased manner

Yeah that made me stop the video, he's pretty dumb because the barbie dominated world wasnt depicted as perfect either,some dudes have such a victim mentality

Even his take on why alie would even leave the hot rich guy shows that this was written from a douche bag point of view. Should of known by his dream car tbh

As a man, i agree with you fully! I will say most men who think like he does are not to blame. Many men have been fed false news about this movie. Also some women (like my sister lol) have told me since the movie's release that it was made to put down men and it shows how men suck and all that. I think the movie was great and got it's very important and beautiful message off quite well. I just wanted to tell you that with so much news revolving around the kind of feminism that puts men down and not the actual good feminism, it is quite understandable why many men feel like that. Before seeing the movie, I thought it was all about putting down men as frankly that was all I heard about it, so my thoughts before seeing it made me look like a douchy annoying man who is anti-Barbie because it is feminist or whatever. It would be very easy for most people to have viewed me like that, but in reality it was not the case and I just needed to be educated. Hope this adds perspective and shows you that not all anti-Barbie men are complete douches.

Means a lot brother 🤝

No worries!

I appreciate the comment!

Could not disagree more on First Man, that movie was amazing. Ryan did a stellar job.
