What is the best Ryan Gosling movie? | Movie Brackets
Ryan Gosling might be his generation’s elite movie star but what is his best movie?
@AmandaTheJedi joins Art & Zach to look back at the 30-year on-screen career of Baby Goose, from his emergence as a child star to his mainstream breakthrough in films like The Notebook, as well as his acclaimed turns in films like La La Land and Barbie to his turns in genre movies like Drive and Blade Runner 2049. Does Gosling work best as a silent brooder or a motormouthed jokester? Do we love him most in dramas or action movies? And why did they make t-shirts for The Place Beyond the Pines?

    Leaving out "The Believer" is tragic, you really need to see it because he is incredible in it. He was literally the last of 150 to audition. He is as they say, riveting, but expect to cry. In a different interview with the director he says, "We knew within a few minutes we had a real actor that no one else knew about. It won at Sundance.

    Another bad matching of "The Fall Guy" and "Crazy Stupid Love". The bedroom scene is my favorite because they show so much love and chemistry. "THE FALL GUY" is a much better movie. The outtakes of Steve Carrel and Julianne Moore trying the "Dirty Dancing" lift are really funny. Gosling hated the picking up women part. She had a panic attack with the lift scene and Ryan says she was like catching a rabid raccoon. She had fallen in gymnastics from the parallel bars when she was 7 and broke both arms.

    Love the monologue with he and Emily Blunt and I love watching him laugh. If I could wake up to him laughing it would be great. There is one on the Graham Norton show and one interview from "Blade Runner". Half Nelson vs La La Land where did that come from. 2 Oscar nominee performances together. Lars is better, mainly because Ryan chose how to do Lars and compares it to "The Velveteen Rabbit" Instead of the rabbit becoming real because of love, Lars becomes real. The treatment of actual mental disabilities is wonderful. Drive would be better without all the blood flying everywhere.

    I knew I recognized the little boy in ‘Greener Grass’. He was also in H.P. Lovecrafts ‘Color out of Space’ starring Nicolas Cage from 2019, I think. If you seriously want to be disturbed, watch that movie. I find it the kind of movie that will aid in insomnia, meaning: it will keep you awake when you should be sleeping. I bought it through UA-cam. Not just rent, bought it.

    Thank you for this. The end of the last season just felt so lazy. I see so many people applauding the recent season because conservatives are finally realizing the show is making fun on them. The show was obviously a parody in the early seasons. There was the squeaky clean family values company full of horrible people, the closeted religious hero who spoke out against the lifestyle, then the monetization of Queen Maeve’s sexuality-with the added bonus of her meals being vegan as the company doubles down on pretending to care. When they started giving Homelander Trump lines/mannerisms it went from the show winking at you from across the room to elbowing you in the ribs.

    The show is definitely pushing the limits, which is what shows should do. Bringing real world issues into the show isn't a problem either. Metaphors are good where metaphors are needed, but they're not a requirement for good TV. And the sex thing is hilarious and real. People have kinks and the show doesn't shy away from that. The show is fantastic and is evolving. To the people that enjoy season 1 over the rest, keep in mind that you're never going to like everything all the time. So appreciate what you got and allow others to appreciate what they took from places you didn't.

    There is no risk anymore. In prior seasons there was always leverage or something they had to keep themselves from being killed instantly by supes. The reasons now just feels so unmotivated like homelander at the end of season 3 was suppose to have finally lost it and nothing stops him but here he is coming face to face with enemies and just chatting it up and walking off. Or not popping someones head after an attempted murder of your child being shot in the head or acid thrown on you and simple walking away. Its uninspired and directionless.

      my guess is that Homelander finds it funny that Butcher is dying slowly and doesn't want to give him a 'glorious' death or anything. Neumann also did find Hughie to be sort of a friend and just doesn't care enough about killing people who can't seem to do any form of harm to her. I'd also add that she's afraid that if she were to kill one of the boys, the rest would out her immediately as a supe, destroying her political aspirations

      I think it's a multi-purpose device. One, it's adopting the trope of talking to the camera a lot of older shows did. In essence, it's homage. Second, it's another layer of unreality, of blurring the lines, that works to support the narrative of dysphoria the film is centered on.

    I definitely picked up on the trans message within the film but like you said there are a lot of different queer experiences people can connect to in the film outside of that as well. (This is not at all meant to take away from that part of the movie because I am really glad there’s such a great and successful movie centered around the trans experience) I know for me what I connected to most was Owen and Maddie’s talk on the bleachers about whether or not Owen liked girls or boys. That comment from Owen about knowing there’s nothing there when talking about romance and attraction, but being too afraid to look and knowing that his parents know something is wrong with him hit harder than any other scene from a movie I’ve watched this year. I read it very much as an expression of asexuality and/or aromanticism and as someone who identifies as asexual myself that was the first time I had ever seen that aspect of myself portrayed on screen and the struggles that come with it as well. I don’t know if there’s a movie that better portrays that all consuming, suffocating stagnation of feeling so out of place- knowing you’re out of place compared to those around you- and in response forcing yourself to fit what other people expect of you than I Saw the TV Glow. Definitely the movie that will stick with me the longest out of any movie I’ve seen so far this year.

    The comments people left saying it has "mixed politics" about trans identity honestly makes me question what they were even talking about. And from other trans/queer people, no less. Personally, as a trans woman 1yr into her transition, I couldn't relate more to Owen/Isabelle's journey.

      And by that I mean stuff like someone claiming that "The film portrayed self-h*rm as cathartic". Which... no. Absolutely not.

      A film about hot button topics like this will always draw criticism. If a trans or queer person didn't vibe with the film, I can see it. I don't agree with the more negative criticisms I've seen, but considering I'm not queer, I don't feel it's my place to engage in their interpretation and challenge it. At least not when the film is so fresh. But I've seen far more trans and queer people loving the film and analyzing it positively than negatively. But I do think there is a mindset in that community that does not like, at ALL, any kind of queer story that isn't lighter, happier in tone.
