This Is Us 1x01 Pilot Randall Pearson William Hill (Jack Pearson) (Rebecca Pearson) (Beth Pearson) (Tess Pearson) (Annie Pearson) (The girls) (Fireman / Joe)
Why is this so realistic of a reaction? He is so torn between wanting to hurt him so bad, but since it doesn’t face the dad, he also wants to get something out of him he never got before.
I felt like he had practiced this speech of his for years and then finally built up the courage to go meet his father for the first time. And after letting out that decades of frustration he started to see what's the real situation
As a man who doesnt know his father and has been successful. I can attest to practicing a speech just like this. With the exception of i wasnt a foster child.
The dad knew he did wrong, and he wanted to let his child move past his wrongdoing and vent. That’s why he never reacted. He is putting his kid before himself to try to be a father.
@@shijuesiishamponave3993what should he have done? He did good letting his son grow up. Coming back into his life early on would have caused confusion in a boy who's emotions haven't matured yet. In the father's head he may feel this is the punishment he deserves, but he allowed his son to have a better life than he could have ever provided. That choice to admit that makes him a better man than most will ever be
@declanbryant8591 i think he did the best he could in that moment but its too late at that point. And instead of the father contacting him it was his son coming to his house. I just feel like its too late
I think Randall had forgiven his father as soon as he heard his story, but he needed that last 'screw you' to blow off steam before he got to building the bridge.
Father abandoneds child so that he may have a somewhat decent life. In my opinion, that father did the absolute right thing. He knew he couldn’t take care of the baby and knew that the baby would most likely end up like him. So I generally believe he is happy to see how successful his son had become and that his son had a loving family that raised him like there own.
William was someone who abandoned Randall for a goddamn good reason, because he needed to fix himself otherwise Randall would end up like him. He eventually fixed himself and he became a better person and wanted to be a part of Randalls life.
@@calebkent6706 to be fair what kind of future would he get if he stayed with an addict that was so high all the time he didnt quite remember how he got rid of the baby
God the acting is so good. So static and unable to make a clear decision but I understand it so well cos I know exactly the feelings he’s trying to act out.
After watching the full scene, I'm happier with the ending. Abandoned child visits father after 36 years, brags to him about his success, father invites him inside and explains back story, then son clears his mind and invites father to see his grandchildren.
the fact that he swiftly accepted his invitation is just very telling that even though he wants to think he doesn’t need any validation or even acknowledgment from his biological dad, he still yearns to hear something meaningful to come out of his mouth. even though it’s made obvious in this scene a lot of people struggle with this and deny any strong feelings about their absent fathers/need for a father. sometimes i hear celebrities talk like that and i can just see through that it bothers them.
This shows just how much hurt Randall's been carrying all these years, and how he's covered all that pain up with his intense work ethic and comfort in wealth. But fundamentally he's still a good hearted and empathetic man.
I’ve always said there’s nothing wrong with giving your child up for adoption. Sure the fire station routine is a very old and somewhat non intimate way of doing it. Sure I haven’t seen the series and maybe his dad truly is a piece of work. But his son is alive, a professional man, and was raised by two amazing parents. I do recognize that in many ways Randall May have just got lucky, but in all fairness his father likely made the right decision for his son’s sake.
lol, when you waited all you life for that revenge, and when you finally get it you realize that it was never the revenge you wanted. what whole some scene, makes me wanna watch this show. yep thats right i just saw this clip randomly.
Let’s see how you turn out if your family abandons you outside a fire station. Like most people, you’re able to diagnose narcissism but lack the emotional IQ to explore what causes it.
@@user-ty4fj6ge3l That is not narcissism. That is an unearned inferiority complex, and chip under his shoulder that he has labored under for decades and finally got free of. That was a lot of pain being eased at once.
@@user-ty4fj6ge3l Narcissism? Really? It's pretty ridiculous how so many people act morally self-righteous as a spectator. I highly doubt that you've never acted in a similar fashion when someone has wronged you in such an extreme manner like this. Randall's father literally abandoned him like trash, which obviously left some emotional scars. I would argue that most people in a situation that extreme would behave similarly as an act of liberation
Might be me getting old but my feelings were with the dad. So happy for him that a new life was just about to open up for him filled with beautiful grandchildren.
He should be thankful his dad wasn't too proud and tried to keep him in the situation they were in. What he needs to realize, is that he wouldn't be where he is today if his dad didn't swallow his pride, the psychology behind this clip is too much for people to understand 😮
@@429gamer This concept is why the GOP rejects abortion. The evidence is clear, they all get abortions themselves for their wives and families. But not allowing abortion is, in truth, doing nothing to rich people. It is forcing poor people to have kids, knowing it creates awful dynamics and families that are not ready for kids. Which keeps the cycle of abuse and wealth inequality in place, and makes it so people don't free themselves of the system. Which keeps the rich that much richer.
This initial exchange reminds me of Sidney Portier in ‘look who’s coming to dinner’… Sidney confronted his father.. both excellent child/parent lessons
I'm glad I seen a short of this.i may never have wanted to watch the show. You immediately realize he isn't there for validation or to boast about his life when the father says "do you want to come in" in the way the son replies "okay." You can feel that he was there to meet his father and I believe he left knowing him
It’s anger born from sadness. You go from hating the man in front of you to wanting him to not leave your side. It’s just natural to hate what you don’t understand.
I came across this scene in youtube shorts, but damn it hits hard. I wish moments like this came across smoothly in real life, but we tend to regret our first interactions and review what we would've said in our heads.
It really can happen when you have two mentality stable and mature individuals. It's a breath of fresh air when you see to actual adults talking to one another.
It is true that many want validation and approval, many from a father ( like figure ) but some fathers just aren’t cut out for the job and I mean that in the sense that their offspring just can not see them as a figure of stability, authority etc. It is my opinion that the scene went the way it did because the man didn’t walk away with a younger model as they say or did something that’s similar and abandoned the mother and her child - he just was in dark place and knew that he couldn’t take care of the baby and brought him to a place that meant something to him. Having recovered, the son and him are able to reconciliate because it’s clear that the father is a changed man ( and the son because he could build a place from where he is able to not be filled with negative emotions ) and that what he did was not done out of selfishness.
I think that this whole scenario is a lot deeper than this made it seem it's good when you always come out strong of a situation like that but sometimes if you were never dropped off you would be dead or nowhere near the current success he had
Parents are supposed to be for life. So that grudge is for life too idgaf how well off I get. For those, who find closure and move on, congratulations. But for most it’s definitely not that easy
@@ultimate0706if he insisted on keeping him, he would be living and raised by incompetent father who couldn’t take care of himself let alone a baby. He made a wrong choice for his life but at least he made the right call for the baby he irresponsible made
@@literallyme6365 The right call would've been to pull up his pants and start acting like an adult as soon as he had that baby to take care of. What he did was the bare minimum, which was to spare that baby the hell of having him as a caretaker.
@@ultimate0706The right call would be to instantly overcome a physical addiction, buy a house with 0 income, and raise a child without any exterior support? You are insane.
I don't understand why he has so much anger towards his father when his father clearly left him so that Randall could have a better life. I don't think Randall would have ended up with the success he had otherwise.
You don’t understand because you never felt it and never talked to someone who was rejected by their own parents. Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing can ever fill that hole that the people who created you, didn’t think you were worth anything.
@@SomethingSomethinggbecause you fail to understand why some people can't come back from that, others are affected significantly worse while some live generally good lives enough with the people who end up fostering them to not have that kind of hate. You just wouldn't understand and this comment shows, it's not an assumption, it's just a fact lol
Randall isn't a "Moses baby." But it appears that Randall and Moses had one thing in common. Had they have been kept by their parents, they would have been killed....!

The way Randall told his dad his story is like how kids imagine dissing their bullies, I know cause I thought of it.

"Who you anyways"
"Is that door 47?"
"Nah its 49"
