    When I watched this scene for the first time, I surprisingly teared up. I am such a sucker for scenes like this, because it is so real, blunt, and vulnerable. Up until this point, Lenny has had his cool facade and charming flirtation/banter with Midge. But in this season, and this scene especially, we see a realer side to Lenny Bruce. I never thought we'd see him get this angry and emotional towards Midge. He really cares. And again, it's just cool to see him past his "cool front" and see a more real side to this character. I really look forward to the scenes between these two, and can't wait for the final season. Usually, when characters finally hook up, it ruins that tension. But these two, still shine bright, even after *that* scene. I find that really cool because it is rare. These actors really have a rare chemistry that I feel like a lot of people don't even know about because for some reason, a lot of people still haven't seen this show. Anyways, love this scene. It was my favorite of the season forsure :)

      This scene and the one with Abe reading Moishe's obituary had me leaking. Such good acting! Some people say they didn't like the focus of this season, but I just love it. From season 1-4, I kept watching how the lives of Midge, her family, and friends changed and went through highs and lows. Can't wait for season 5 and the mystery of Mei's family lol.

      I think the only way to maintain that chemistry is by not sleeping together again.

    • @nicola8712
      @nicola8712 2 года назад +5

      Yes this and then the way he spoke to her before they slept together was pretty amazing too

      I rewatched from season 1 and I noticed how early Lenny appeared in the show and my romantic self believed that it was subtly hinted they would be together. I loved how it showed an interaction between Lenny, Midge and Joel, then with Midge and -Dr Tall, handsome and rich- Benjamin. My heart fluttered every time he appeared and interacted with her in those dates.

      Damn, well said. When he told her it would break his heart, God I felt that. The acting here was on another level.

  • @JacobWoodring
    @JacobWoodring 2 года назад +214

    That scene was by far the best scene of the whole entire run of the show. The cadence, the anger and frustration in both of the actors, the cinematography... everything was just a near damn perfect storm. It culminated into one masterpiece! I was in awe watching this scene!

  • @faithinverity8523
    @faithinverity8523 2 года назад +194

    This scene is genius. The universe throws your soul mate into your face and once all the schmalz is over, you have to fight to hang on to that person, to not let that person fail. Genius. Real life. Bravo.

    This is the most re- watchable series ever. I usually rewind scenes because I was laughing too much and thought I missed something, they spoke really fast and didn't want miss anything, and then there are things going on in the background. It's amazing. So perfect

    Amy Sherman-Palladino and Alex Borstein look so much alike they could be sisters. (And yes, I know, that is Rachel Brosnahan with her in this video, but her resemblance to Alex is striking.)

    Luke Kirby is a force to be reckon with! Top notch actor! But if they go along with history, unfortunately Mr Bruce ODS & passed away at a young age.
    The whole story line with the Tony Bennett & Lenny going out of his way to help midge, compassion there! My PopPop Ben LOVED Tony Bennett & we are naming our first born Bennett, after him!

    • @RetroGirl1967
      @RetroGirl1967 2 года назад +2

      Except that on the show it is only 1960 and Lenny dies years later. I am sure Lenny will still be alive when the series ends. Luke Kirby gave one of the most amazing performances I have ever seen in this episode.

And I love all these people's work in making it what it is. I feel like I wanna go listen to it every few months when I need a kick up the butt to just go out and do the things and get out of my comfort zone.

    I dont think it was a fight, it was Bruce telling Midge to stop being a baby, because he cares so much about her and wants her to succeed, and imo he broke the 4th wall this whole time because hes saying exactly what the viewers are thinking.

      My rule is as long as your aren't cursing someone else out then a bad word really isn't bad. It's just a word. And too mich meaning and power is given to curse words. It's a shame that all you see and take are the curse words and that that blocks you from the overall amazingness of this show. Really too bad.
