Ive always remembered him as a random character actor... That's not a diss there just wasn't a role I'd come across that moved me.. Until I RANDOMLY CLICKED ON "MISSISSIPPI GRIND" on a whim on Hulu out of boredom one day .. and mannnnn.. he played that character so unbelievably accurate and well I was like "whooo is this dude.. I don't know if I've ever seen him in another movie .. but he's out acting Ryan Reynolds!! And then I distinctly remembered his work in alot of the films he was in after looking at his filmography on Wikipedia. IVE NEVER ACTUALLY WATCHED THIS MOVIE ALL THE WAY THROUGH BUT IT'S ON MY TO-DO LIST.. ASAP
I honestly like the arc with the sons but the first half was so perfect. It was hard to follow up such a great first half to the film. It’s almost like two different movies.
i understand what you mean but i believe thats sort of the point. the main thing connecting the story are the parrallels. (eating ice cream with both father figures at the gas station, the similar shots when they're riding on their bikes etc) its meant to feel different but very similar imo
@@kalencwil3924 Guy Pierce is an unusual thing, but then again they're a lot of people you'd think should be way bigger then they are, but its sometimes because they have a reputation of sorts behind the scenes in the industry. But then again the industry is so corrupt its hard to tell which one is which at play.
It's so simple but I absolutely adore the shot of Gosling staying at a stop at the green light. Such an awesome visual metaphor for him at that moment, and to top it off it's a literal crossroads. Beautiful work.
@@Novum_YT No problem. Keep watching movies. Many of them and mostly before 2000. You'll see how quickly that which you thought was so great actually isn't.
@@donjuantrumpetajohnson Yeah, I watch a lot of movies man. You should click my name :) I love classic movies, I just don't look down on modern ones. There's no problem with clearly conveying subtext to an audience, I don't find it cringey. Films are made for international audiences for people from all backgrounds. You being able to recognize imagery well doesn't mean everyone else is at the same level. It's really not so in your face as to be off-putting and I think it demonstrates a pretty complex emotional state with a couple of simple, universal, visual elements. That's not as easy as you might think. Now I'm sure you could come up with something as fluent, I'm sure I could too, but I don't see any reason to deride others for doing something cleanly, clearly and artistically. Chances are what me and you may find 'not-obvious' is something that would go entirely ignored by most audience members. Who are we to say which is 'better'?
I think the scene where Jason meets Robin is the best scene in the film. It shows the long symbolism between father and son even years after his death. Also don’t forget that Robin harbored money from the few robberies they took part in as one as the ones before. As well as going under the radar avoiding apprehension from the police.
Yeah. I noticed that too. He was in the middle of writing checks back to all of the people who's money he stole from his bank robberies right when Robin walks in. Jason's a saint. A misunderstood saint, but definitely a saint.
This will forever be one of my favorite movies. The visuals, story, soundtrack everything put together made it a masterpiece and I can vividly remember the year it came out just rewatching it all Summer as a kid. Good times.
Yeah I saw this in theaters when it released in 2012. I was a teenager. I remember many weeks of staying in class long after everyone had left and watching it over and over on the computer. I listened to the score obsessively for almost two years. Crazy thinking back at how much this film moved me at such a young age. It has a very special place in my heart. A timeless masterpiece.
@@KenoSNeal Dude same here, used to watch it every damn day and never got tired of it, my favorite scene I would rewatch would be him riding down the forest road with the trees, and the ending scene and the music that plays in these, just picturing myself on that road with a dirt bike one day with that song playing haha. Masterpiece indeed.
It seems that I'm a lot younger than you two, as I watched it for the first time in the 2020 lockdown as a 15yo. I was going through a rough breakup back then (teenage love and all, lol) and this movie really was my comfort thing. fast forward four years later and I now own a motorcycle. I would've probably never became a biker if I didn't watch this movie.
Watched this before my son was born, hit me hard when ryan is saying he will take care of his girl and son, that its his responsibility even though he didnt know how when asked, i feel like everyman just wants to be able to provide, life just takes us all on different paths to do just that. Best movie ❤
the character is extremely ignorant, selfish and problematic. no actual human should act as childish and dumb. it's okeyish written for a movie and works since he has motivational reasons for actions done in this movie. but every normal human beeing should seek out professional help. when he says "don't talk down on me like that" it shows deeply routed mysagoni aswell as total ignorance for everything the women said before and just shows he insecurities. for real people need to grow up and stop projecting ficitonal characters on real life.
being the new father i was back in the early 90's was a site to see. just 20 years old, just married. wasn't even old enough to drink at my own wedding. but having my daughter at the age of 21, something just clicked. keep your head down, nose clean, and work. it really is that easy. outside interference is just that. outside interference. even at that young age all i could think about was my pops would be disappointed if i didn't go to work. i didn't call in sick, i didn't miss days. i worked. you'd be suprised how fast you can work your way up. came home and loved my daughter. she'll be 31 tomorrow. good job, good head on her shoulders. put her through school. i did my job as a father and a daddy. and it never stops. to this day i'm daddy. end of story. it can be done with a little work and a lot of love and commitment. anyone tells you otherwise, full of shit.
@@arvy7765 Sure. If you don't know movies and you grew up in 2000's then I can imagine you think this is a "masterpiece". It's junk though. Only good thing is Ben Mendelshon. he makes the highly overrated Gosling look like a amateur actor in high school drama play.
Born and raised in Schenectady. Was cool to see these dudes filming in my neighborhood and right down the block from my parents house they used a neighbors house as Bradley Cooper's. RIP Ray Liotta. What an amazing actor. Great flick, and the corruption in the Schdy Police department was definitely BIG TIME back then. The chief and his wife were slangin yayo for real LOL 😆
That’s so cool! I’m bored and raised in NYC and never been past the Catskills. I’m so glad they filmed this in my home state in a place I’ve never been before but this totally NY ❤ It makes me happy that you are from Schenectady and let us know about your hood ❤😊
I love the way this movie was written. They even explained vomiting after a stressful moment which happens to me. I get that part. This was a cool heist scene. ❤
@@tonymathieu7449 The think about Ryan, he's okay but it depends on the script he's given. I liked him in Drive, Fracture, The Nice Guys, Blade Runner 2049, this film and Gangster Squad. He doesn't do much for me personally lookwise but if you give him the right material, then he delivers!
Amazing film, wish Gosling was in it longer because he was the best part of the movie, Cooper was good and Dehaan wasn’t bad either but Gosling stole the show
He did but you can see he wasn't realistic or forreal about his intentions. Kofi was. People act like Kofi stole her and the kid from Luke when it was quite the opposite.
"I used a note, you don't need a gun." LOL Ryan pulled the pistol immediately then threatened everyone's lives in the bank. Now that's how you overdo it lol
Robin is a buddy to Luke, but he's also sort of a father figure...one Luke never had growing up. Gives Luke a job, a place to stay...even though they barely knew each other...he also planted the seed for Luke to rob, because he knew Luke didn't have a lot of options for providing for Jason...but just the same, turning people on to crime wasn't a good thing, even with the early success, just 'cause you got away with it doesn't mean the next guy will be free and clear of guilt or incarceration. Honestly, I think Robin turned him on to it because he needed the money too...but he was too old to do it alone...didn't have that skill set Luke had, but he knew the game of robbing a bank. He also underestimated how emotional and straight up outlaw Luke was in his heart...a total fiend for action.
Ridiculous how good at picking roles Ryan is, hit after hit, performance after performance. Could be a musical, Indi/romance, sci-fi or a heist movie.. He never misses.
What a fucking movie! Its one of those magical films man, can watch it over and over. Ryan Gosling and the rest of the cast were impeccable with their performances. Much love and respect. Damn!
5:25...loads the piece, then has a moment. Thinking, "Is this really the only thing I can do to make this work, to get money..." That moment passes and you realize that Luke doesn't see any alternatives in his situation, he has to go outlaw.
yeah ..... but she overdid it with the botox ..... she looks unrecognizable...... Ryan is a stand up guy and she knows this.....he will not go anywhere......
"Youre going to like doing this man biggest rush of youre life" This was basically when Luke went from smoking a little here or there to banging with the needle it was a one way street straight to a dead end from there. Robyn was never even suspected in six bank robbery. He was in it emotionally for his girl and son whereas Robyn could be dispassionate about it. And he is just a completely different temperament and that can work but not on his own he needs a partner who is the opoosite they compliment each other but alone Luke crashes and Robyn just barely lives all alone.
Ben Mendelsohn is one of the best actors to not be a household name at this point. Every role he plays is captivating. I quit watching Bloodline as soon as they killed off his character. He was the only thing keeping that show interesting.
5:23-5:29 - He drops the slide forwards so the hammer is cocked back and the gun looks ready to fire, then inserts the magazine but if he pulls that trigger nothing will happen as there is no bullet chambered. I think this was the director showing if it came down to it he didnt want to shoot anyone in the bank, he just wanted it to look like he would. Even with the cop he shot later on only after being shot as he was falling out of a window, which could've just been a reflex to hold onto something as he fell or in self-defence after he was shot while on the phone to say his final goodbye not aiming the gun at the officer which caught him off guard. I just think he was desperate to provide for his family and probably enjoyed the rush of it too - Both the robberies and finally being able to provide for his family. I am not saying what he did was right, i just think it was a clever move by the director to show his true intentions and motivations in such a subtle manner within 6 seconds flat.
Ben Mendelshon has the most perfect American accent I've ever heard from a foreign actor. This dude is a master of his craft. He could be my next door neighbor.
Yeah it wasn't a popular when it came out but managed to stand the test of time and have a life long after its release. So many people still rave about this movie.
its like a sigma movie thats what i like to call them at least, basically a character with personal problems or a outcast/loner. interesting enough these movies are really good 😂
@@John-mf1sz I re-read my comment and see now how it can be taken the wrong way. When I said how did he become such a good actor? I meant that was my judgement, he really is such a good actor. The Nice Guys was another highlight.
Lowkey that woman was playing all sides and triggered all that followed by not sticking to one man and one path. people were killed and she lost her son for good as final outcome. The movie is about fatherhood but that kind of motherhood is not very motherly.
I think Ro wanted to give him a chance which is why she showed up to the carnival in the first place but due to their circumstances it was kind of hard to submit
Wonder if anyone had robber a bank cus this guy made it sound easy. Aside from that the realism of the robbery scene was good. The way he walked in jumping on the counter, making noise before yelling. That's not how people expect it in movies. They're used to yelling first. It was a good scene thdt makes the viewer happy thst they are not in there risking that.
Ben Mendelshon completely won me over in this movie. Loved his performance.
I've been a fan of his since I saw Ready Player One. He was fantastic in this!
He carried the movie as well as Gosling did if not better.
This and Bloodline after that I'll watch anything he's un. The Outsider is another great performance and character.
@@joemanco1075animal kingdom is also very good

Well said. Once you remove Gosling it's hard to keep the audience entertained, he was a scene stealer.
I can take or leave the sons' arc. You need it to complete the movie, granted, but the first half is so good.
I love the barking in the truck to regulate his nerves.
Mendelson really was a scene stealer in this role. He became the character and is so real, you’ve met guys just like that guy in real life.
Doesn’t get enough credit. He’s like guy pierce
@@kalencwil3924 Guy Pierce is great!
The character he played has many Australian characteristics. Which is why he nailed it.

You can tell when Robin meets Jason later in the film that he definitely harbors some guilt for getting Luke into bank robbing.
@The Wanderer I think it’s both. He regrets getting him involved, but also cutting up his bike, because that’s essentially what led to his downfall.

But the relationship between Gosling and the other actor... it's beautiful : ' )
Yep. My favorite part of the heist is the celebration afterwards. "We fuckin did it!"
That’s why it’s so realistic, all the robberies👍
The Heist is a realistic showing of how banks are robbed. Mostly always a loner and never the heavily armed maniacs.
You mean his wife? He didn't let her slide after this, mans took his shot and landed it.
He’s called Ben Mendelson and he’s a brilliant actor

Love this movie, Ryan gosling YEAH!!! Luv that guy
This was the golden era of Ryan Gosling, with the another masterpiece " Drive ", not like nowadays...
Love this movie the first half felt like a in official sequel of drive
The diner scene is so real.
love the first third of this movie
“You’re skillset, very unique”
The real question is, is this canon to "that's literally me" Ryan Gosling lonerverse?
Should not be a question, its literally me
Absolutely, I'm just going to come out and say it but if I were to rob a bank it'll be exactly like this.
Yeah I own the same bike its literally me
Totally
Literally me
Masterpiece.
One of my favorite movies.
Forgot about this movie!
He reminds me of Ed Norton in Rounders
Suzuki DRZ400. Glad he used a reliable bike.
I don't even like Gosling but this is a movie I keep re-watching. How did he get to be such a good actor?
You’re crazy he’s legitimately one of the best
@@judson8441 That's what bothers me, him! Of all people!
He’s absolutely incredible man.
In a lot more than just this.
You should give him more of a chance. Dudes a powerhouse.
@@John-mf1sz I re-read my comment and see now how it can be taken the wrong way. When I said how did he become such a good actor? I meant that was my judgement, he really is such a good actor. The Nice Guys was another highlight.
@@willpeony5534 I see exactly how I may have misread now.
Peace and love 👍🏼
Lowkey that woman was playing all sides and triggered all that followed by not sticking to one man and one path. people were killed and she lost her son for good as final outcome.
The movie is about fatherhood but that kind of motherhood is not very motherly.
"that's a nice dream" is not something you say to a guy who is on the edge of insanity
This movie is so dope ...
9:19 to much adrenalin ^^
One of my fave all time movies
real question is.... why that drz sounds like a sport bike ????😅🤣
Yeah that threw me off too lol
that hurt me so much, haha. thumper sound would've been so much better ^^
I think Ro wanted to give him a chance which is why she showed up to the carnival in the first place but due to their circumstances it was kind of hard to submit
Danny Rayburn was great in this movie
I was a junkie in a past life who used to steal blu rays when they were brand new. That vomiting after hitting a good lick is super real.
Telling my kid he’s the real Ken
yooo that 250 turned into a 650 real quick!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Need all cut scenes
This movie is masterpiece..he went from movies like this and Bladerunner 2049 to Barbie. Damn
You're talking about a dude that used to dance for Disney. That shit is in his nature. Just appreciate the fact he can actually act.
And?
@@thegageinator805 cool. He sold out
@@turtsw lmao how did he sell out, he was literally in the notebook
This movie died the moment gosling did.
Wonder if anyone had robber a bank cus this guy made it sound easy. Aside from that the realism of the robbery scene was good. The way he walked in jumping on the counter, making noise before yelling. That's not how people expect it in movies. They're used to yelling first. It was a good scene thdt makes the viewer happy thst they are not in there risking that.
