Spoiler ahead: Casting genuinely likable men as a shitty "nice guy" was brilliant. It really shows you how rapists/rape-apologists can be everyday "nice guys" and funny likeable men. It's super scary.
For sure!You spend the whole movie hoping against hope that they’ll opposite to the way you fear they will and when they end up being awful it’s so much worse. Also makes for (in Bo’s case at least) a much more 3 dimensional character.
@@spenserwalker4361 I kept wishing Bo's character to have a change of heart BUT IT KEPT GETTING WORSE. Truly a 3 dimensional character done well. It is a movie that I'm gonna remember forever. It absolutely subverted all my expectations. It really shows how the people who say "not all men" are just standing by as the disasters unveil.
YES!!! One thing that took me time to process was Ryan bc I think we all know some version of this type of guy. I was waiting for the ball to drop on him since the pharmacy scene and when the ball did drop I wasn't expecting it to be as awful as it was. If there's one thing that shook me the most was in the film, it was Ryan.
I knew something was going to be off about Ryan but god I reeeeeeally wished it wasn’t so. Also the fact that he’s a charmer of a character and Bo in general you kind of gloss over his red flags which is amazing like Chan said it makes it adds so much depth and makes it all the more frightening. An amazing film and commentary on addressing the systems involved in rape culture. Can’t stop thinking about it.
I think this *was* when he felt healthier. In INSIDE he says he felt so much better before the pandemic that he thought about starting comedy again. Movies are filmed a while before released, so this would be around then, before the steady mental decline he showed in INSIDE
He was so good in this. I was completely blindsided by his character bc I wanted so badly for her to find happiness. And then that cover-up like he didn't know her made my blood boil. I'm glad bo was able to come back to us despite his anxiety
He was the deepest character in this movie tbh. He had a tough job! Had to play the nice guy whose life has changed so drastically from being a young kid who was witnessing abuse and encouraging it, to a doctor who saves childrens lives. He was genuinely different but still a total monster when it came down to being honest and an ACTUAL good guy. He flipped that switch so fast
@@sahej6939I agree that men of med school age are not kids. But man did this movie brilliantly confront that very excuse men have for their shitty behaviors they did in their 20s
Love Bo. Loved the Cassie & Ryan story, and loved the fearless way that it spun out. Even the romantic montage was cleverly original. Bravo, Emerald Fennel, BRAVO!
He actually have talked about how his normal voice is baritone but he’s noticed that his comedy is perceived better in an alto range. So a lot of his earlier comedy is purposely done in a higher register. Super cool! I love him so much
Just went and saw the movie in theatre. Took my teenage daughter and her teenage friends. Really glad I took them, what a scary eye-opening important fucking movie to have teenagers watch.
this is a good parent i respect this parent this is a wholesome parent this is a wholesome comment please tell your daughter that random stranger on the internet said "Not only did your mom allow you to even watch this movie, but you learned a life lesson. You should be grateful. While we're on the topic of gratefulness, you should be glad that you even had enough money to see this movie. You have enough money to pay for the internet, you have enough money to get a education, your guardian(s) are working their asses off to get you that money, you better be grateful, and as sad as it may be, one day your guardian(s) are gonna die. At that point you don't have a chance to be grateful. If you live your life being ungrateful, you will end up pushing everyone away and you'll die alone. by the time you realize this naturally, it'll be too late. so, as random stranger on the internet, please don't make the same mistakes I have."
This movie blew my mind... and had me thinking and talking for days after... well done! And it was my introduction to Bo Burnham which makes me sad that I just found him, but happy I did at all!
I love bo Burnham's role in the movie. He was the good guy who was also a real life version of guys you meet everyday who still have faults, but that are layered. I say trying not too give too much away lol
Spoilers . . . . . . . . . . His character Ryan was essential to the film in every single way. 1. He provided adorable levity. 2. He enabled us to feel the disappointment, heartbreak, and betrayal that Cassie did, and thus illustrated why it’s so hard (and dangerous) to be trusting of men when you’re a woman. 3. He reminded us that it’s the men who are endearing and charming and beloved and seem totally benevolent are still completely capable of hiding things, of lying to your face, of making excuses for crimes and bad behavior, of denying culpability, of turning on you, of manipulation, of putting women down and resenting them when they can’t control them, of every sin that you think “bad people’ do, and that they ARE doing these things, HAVE done these things. 4. His character was the reflection of our society, turning a blind eye to others’ plight and trauma except when it entertains us, making excuses for the way we stand by and do nothing, always selfishly acting in our own self interests while making sure to be well liked so we can tell ourselves that we’re good and blameless, and becoming defensive instead of penitent when we’re called out on our bullshit. Brilliantly written character written by Emerald Fennel and perfectly acted by Bo Burnham.
Hey I felt the same way at first. I spent the whole movie rooting for Bo’s character, hoping they could find happiness together. The ending was extremely swift and fleeting but I think that served a purpose. I totally understand feeling hurt and broken in that moment. To me, it showed how impactful acts of sexual assault can be, and how quickly they can literally blow up. It starts up a conversation, a hard one but an important one. I’m here to talk if you need someone :)
Seriously? As nice as his performance was, it wasn't Oscar-worthy at all. Definitely good for what it was but that's about it. Carey Mulligan, on the other hand, was phenomenal! Overall, everyone did a good job in this great movie, but Mulligan's performance was the only one to qualify for an Oscar.
very upset at the edits here everyone knows you let Bo talk and talk without interruption viewers of this video have watched him talk for hours and it never gets tiresome
jesus christ why was this cut like it was made for dvd special features in 1997 and why the god damn hell do you insist on cutting him off mid sentence? Honestly I don't oppose the death penalty for this
Indeed “Ryan” (Burnhams character) was completely crazy. He was drawn to Cassie because he knew what happened to her friend, was involved in that past directly and wanted to control the current narrative in order to appease his enormous past guilt. The ending was beyond plot twist and shocking. I find it bizarre that Burnham describes his character as the “nice guy” when clearly he had a screw loose and turned out to be a complete nightmare. It’s a shame because they did get along. Regrettably all of those frat bitches were complete sociopaths working the charm to hide their avarice, ruthless and competitiveness acting to never be sensitive lawfully to well...anything. As if all that mattered was them winning in every situation. Very bizarre people. Extraordinary film drawing on Victor Hugo’s The Count of Monte Cristina. Burnham was excellent in the film. His musical phrasing of the lines added a lot to the character and he was never boring or tiresome in any of his scenes. He was also rather believable. Carey Mulligan knocked it out of the park. A+ film on a very dark subject.
the point of bo describing his character as a nice guy was because he meant it in the sarcastic "i'm a nice guy" way, and he didn't want to spoil it for the audience.
Yes, he was kidding. It was clear sarcasm. But he wasn't a categorically bad guy either. He had apathy. But the folks in NYC who never bother to call the police when they hear "help!" wouldn't be "Bad people" in my book either. Neglectful, apathetic, sure, not good, etc. In D&D moral alignment, Ryan is a Lawful Neutral, True Neutral. But he's not evil. Whereas I would characterize Cassie's character as Chaotic Good in the beginning, Chaotic Neutral as the plot progresses, but ultimately Chaotic Evil by the end, given her severe vigilanteism at the expense of other people's wellbeing, especially at HER OWN wellbeing.
You completely missed the point of what he was saying in that moment and what the film was saying. He IS the good guy. That’s the point/problem. Also, add a spoiler tag.
That fact that he thinks he’s “the good guy” is seriously messed up!! Like no, you weren’t as bad as the other but your character was also a “bad guy” by simply doing NOTHING!
@@moonlily1 omg I’m gonna try to not give it away stop reading now if y’all haven’t seen it: I hope he realizes that because of everything that happened he will hopefully grow and stop future ninas from happening and learns 😞 but you don’t know. Man. This movie broke my heart!!!!!

Fuck, I went for Bo, laughs and giggles and I left with depression. I can see why the script caught his attention lol. Right up his alley imo.
@maria de la vega del sol it's used as an exagerrated term here. Pretty sure they're aware they didn't get actual clinical depression
@Maria Carie If she came in with depression then she’s leaving with it
too
I LOVEEE that he plays the interview as the character being a “good guy” so his character is so much more of a shock
Me too!!!!
as soon as i saw that Bo was in this movie i was sold
Same!
💖💖💖
then.... disappointing charcter moment
character *
watching this after seeing the movie and you can tell where he's avoiding spoilers omg
i’ve missed bo so much
his voice is so satisfying omg
Bo seems so much healthier and less stressed here. So glad to see him like this. And I’m excited to watch the movie!
aw..
Welp

'... the cross-sectional view of men that women have, that men can't have.' THIS is a phrase I need to remember.
He was so good in this. I was completely blindsided by his character bc I wanted so badly for her to find happiness. And then that cover-up like he didn't know her made my blood boil. I'm glad bo was able to come back to us despite his anxiety

His character Ryan was essential to the film in every single way.
1. He provided adorable levity.
2. He enabled us to feel the disappointment, heartbreak, and betrayal that Cassie did, and thus illustrated why it’s so hard (and dangerous) to be trusting of men when you’re a woman.
3. He reminded us that it’s the men who are endearing and charming and beloved and seem totally benevolent are still completely capable of hiding things, of lying to your face, of making excuses for crimes and bad behavior, of denying culpability, of turning on you, of manipulation, of putting women down and resenting them when they can’t control them, of every sin that you think “bad people’ do, and that they ARE doing these things, HAVE done these things.

So true king

Fantastic movie and he was brilliantly cast as Ryan, perfect!
I’m about to watch this movie. I’ve been saving it for when I returned home from college to watch with my family. Tonight is the night.
So…. How did you like it??
@@mzkent it was amazing!!! I loved it
bo can start a podcast and i would listen
God he's soo handsome
I wish Bo knew how much this fucking movie hurt me. I don't even know if I liked it, it was a fucking explosion and I'm covered in ashes on the floor.

This movie took me out mentally for a few days but I love it.
Agreed , it broke my heart bc I’ve fallen for guys who seemed nice . You really wanted him to turn out to still be good
yup. it hurt alright but life hurts... as an s a survivor this movie is one of my all time fav.
THIS MOVIE WAS SUCH AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER
I had so much faith in him in the movie!!!
This movie is so underrated
watching this film made me want to have someone like him in real life. but then NOPE lol
He gave an amazing performance
Oscars, this is your second chance to open your eyes and see this masterpiece of a man, and give him the appreciation he deserves. Don't be STUPID.
Got some bad news
Seriously? As nice as his performance was, it wasn't Oscar-worthy at all. Definitely good for what it was but that's about it. Carey Mulligan, on the other hand, was phenomenal! Overall, everyone did a good job in this great movie, but Mulligan's performance was the only one to qualify for an Oscar.
very upset at the edits here

I believe they’re just playing how the dvd has it ...

Who tf edited the audio on this
This is a poorly put together video, period.
1:15 yeah 🙂
I'm ur 50th like :3
Is Ryan a good guy, though? Yes, he genuinely likes Cassie but we know from early on that he's friends with a bunch of questionable people.
no he isn’t a good guy, that’s the point
You need to add a spoiler alert tag!! 🚨
he wanted to avoid the biggest spoiler ever
Ryan has problematic tendencies of his own as well.
@@ca-ke9493 Yeah. He likes Paris Hilton’s music for one. 😆

He was obviously trying to not spoil the movie. Ryan turning out to SPOILERS
Be a bad guy is kind of a big twist.
didnt the dudes character watch a rape happen in front of him and did nothing? ok then...not such a good guy
He didn't step up when he had the chance to do the right thing. And stood on the sidelines when shit went down at the wedding.
add a spoiler alert, he tried hard not to spoil the stuff
You completely missed the point of what he was saying in that moment and what the film was saying. He IS the good guy. That’s the point/problem.
