i also find correlation between this film and classic Greek stage tragedies (the Oedipus Cycle/Odysseus for example) to be pretty neat

I'd like to point out that the name 'Beau' means 'boy' in French. She couldn't even give him a true name!

standing ovation to the essayist!

30:27 NGL I feel really bad for Pixar here bc the main thing is that new ideas are risky and hard to make a profit on. And the poor marketing made this self fulfilling prophecy true. Mark my words its gonna be sequels after sequels after 2025.

finally a film analysis YAAAAA

Ryan you are among my favorite channel finds on RUclips. Good work bro.

The water was the manner of death. His Mother killed him.

Everyone needs to realize that you owe your parents NOTHING and you are free to have a life away from them if they are harmful to you. As soon as you can, please go live your life

What makes you think that Grace is not employed by Mona?

Thank u for this video. I love Ari. Your breakdown is fantastic 😍

38:16 btw this song is originally written and released by George Harrison, and his version is actually so good

The content of this breakdown begins at around 6:14 after the entirely unnecessary walk-through of the film. Comes to a predictable conclusion. Cooler analysis done at The Barking Years. Check it out.

Wait… this is the best Beau Is Afraid analysis on here. Seriously, thank you for covering this film. It’s not an easy one to cover. Subbed!

So far the breakdown is interesting... but the editing and random scenes instead of using the scenes relevant to the current discussion was frustrating. And constantly reusing the same scenes back to back to back.. Sorry, that's just a bit of feedback I wished to offer because your breakdown was great to listen to... just not to watch 😅

This is one of the best videos on this movie. I loved every minute of the film and really enjoyed digging into it. But you pointed out a LOT of little details that I missed. You've gained a sub this day!

Great video! Some of these movies had so much potential. A bit sad. Disney giving up on new, unproven IP, is definitely part of the reason the Indie film industry has been so prolific in recent years.

Cohen is not a doctor, he's an attorney!

“Beau was afraid, but only because Mona was terrified.” CHILLS. Probably the best video about Beau is Afraid

Flesh Decays , Death turns all to ash.

Beau is like Jiob, in situation, where everything is "inteligently designed" to make him goes thru what he must.

I have a narcissistic mother so this movie was so fun for me. I'm so glad to myself that I am not docile anymore and do defend myself always. With people like mona and my mother, you gotta just leave them to live in their own delusion and move on to live your own life. It is hard tho fr, people like that stalk and harrass you and you always gotta get the police involved, dont even read the shit they send you. Let them implode on their lonesome. :)

Ari Aster watching this and thinking, "Damn, he really got me."

Excellent quality video! Thank you!

okay the guy in the attic wasnt another version of beau but it is his actual twin brother, like, its hard to tell whats real or not but even with the literal penis monster next to him i still feel like everything makes sense that the twin is really the twin and is not some surreal version of beau, like dad nutted once and made twins, the one son was docile and obedient to the narc mom and the other son was challenging and disobedient, so she locked him upstairs, and he even had the bowl for food in hand and a chain on his leg, and then she only cared about the one child she could do all this Truman show shit to, like, it makes the sense if shed do all this to one son then shed definitely be doing that to her other son even if the twin was sitting next to some surreality of a giant penis monster, im like pretty sure the twin brother is still reality, the mom literally said "it wasnt a dream it was a memory you idiot" so yeah, it was a memory, you idiots also i think the penis monster is real ; )

the first hour of the film is my fav, the absolute chaos, the overwhelming amount of tiny details to look for in every frame- the fucking insanity of the ppl on the street - i want to live there, id also be so full of anxiety but i still wanna

After watching this and foundflix I think I have a better understanding of this movie. Thank you.

Wow, what a phenomenal deep dive. It’s almost like Ari A gave you all this information himself. The way you ended this analysis killed me

Just wanted to confirm that the maintenance man likely stole Beau's keys. He is later seen at Mona's funeral as one of the departing attendees.

Damn good breakdown.

The actor who plays young Beau looks so much like Joaquin when he was in Parenthood!!

I still can't believe I haven't heard people talking about what to me is obvious. This is a horror film about the patriarchy. Aster calls this a comedy, but the joke is that this is a horror film for men who are truly afraid of the women stealing their manhood. Once I realized this, absolutely everything made sense. Aster wouldn't rest on the unreliable narrator trope, which has become as trite as the "it was all a dream" trope. Aster has also said he wishes it was 10 years from now so he could talk about the film because now is not the time. I swear I'm onto something here.

My 14 yr old son has anxiety and this movie is terrifying.

how does everyone miss the fact that beau was fucking DROPPED on his HEAD immediately after being born?

I usually listen to RUclips videos so I hadn’t seen Mona and when you threw in that it was PATTI LUPONE???????

The Last words made this amazing analysis even better. "In the end Beau was afraid, but only because Mona was Terrified". 🎉

😮 Martha😮

This movie was absolute shit

Great video

best analysis of the movie on youtube.

Excellent breakdown. I tried watching one other in-depth analysis before this one but the dude was so arrogant I turned it off after about 5 minutes. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Best of luck in 2024 and beyond!

This is the best beau essay I’ve seen. Too many get bogged down by the emasculation of him, and rather than recognizing that as a tool Mona uses for control, they project masculinity as the main aspect of life he was left out of. The life he longed for was in ways the hypermasculine American dream, but the love he felt with his sons is the true crux of what he missed out on because of her. He wanted love and family! Also, it’s really important that you didn’t just dismiss the attic clone as a real twin, which I’ve heard a lot of. My only remaining question for you, is how do you feel about Mona being a surrogate for capitalism itself? Most interactions with her feel simultaneously incredibly personal, and incredibly distant. Media and ads and stuff? We’re all afraid and stuff? Idk thanks so much for this video though!

The trial reminded me so much of the trial at the end of Pink Floyd's the wall. And the whole film was an act of the song Mother of the same album

I am very impressed with this analysis and inspired to go and see this movie. I find many subjects, relevant to my own life, #Bogoslowsky 🦁🤴

This is full of wtf moments. But the biggest One is the ending of the movie. I loved the movie but i wish i had fell asleep before the ending.

I feel like it’s an allegory for the relationship we are supposed to have with God according to the Old Testament, but eventually we find out God is not God, God is actually a horrible devil like Mona ends up being who watches us, judges us, tells us we are wonderful and they love us, but doesn’t ever support us or help us and ultimately leaves us out here to the wolves while (ironically) simultaneously insisting we worship it and thank it for our lives. I think eventually we will find out it actually hates us and this whole thing was a ruse designed to see who is actually stupid enough to be grateful to an evil, despicable, God like figure who doesn’t deserve any recognition or gratitude at all.

Why on earth would you replace the original soundtrack?? This is blasphemous.

great video! loved every bit.

Excellent analysis. What is the name of this somber, beautiful tune going on in the background?

good video

Ever watch somebody continually double-down gambling trying to recoup their earlier losses? This entire list feels like I'm seeing that happen in a corporate setting. The problem with ANY corporate structure is its rigid inability to react to changes in the marketplace swiftly and to alter their strategy. The age of the big-budget blockbuster is OVER. But WB and Disney refused to acknowledge that the market was over-saturated with superhero crap and live-action remakes and continued to make the same mistake again and again, gambling that young people were too stupid or complacent to sniff out their b.s. They deserved to lose every dollar they lost.
