I like that next line he says "I was a cook. I still am..." Which I found interesting, because he's so fast and definite about the "death" of his career, but can't think of his brother as dead. And he continues describing his work, his success only to realize that it meant nothing. His only goal was to be back at his brother's plan. And in the weirdest way he does it in the end. The pasta recipe is such a beautiful ending for this monologue.
He isn't in a rush to get his lines out. So he focuses on being the person who says the words. He doesn't make the words his own, he becomes the person who the words were meant to come from. Amazing adaptability
@@richardbruton1224 I disagree that Shameless was subpar. Maybe the last season but not the previous seasons. This role is very similar to Lip. I actually loved the way they wrote Lip even though it was frustrating seeing him make the same mistakes and keep coming back to Karen and then later on that blackhole of a marriage to Tami. Ultimately Lip is the unrealized genius and a cautionary tale. Out of all the Gallaghers, he was supposed to be the one who would rise above it all and he didn't due in part to his own demons. Hits close to home for a lot of people.
@@machodgdon Lip was a pretty nuanced role though. From his strained relationship with Fiona, battle with alcoholism, lack of direction, his brotherly dynamic with Ian, his friendship with Professor Youens, his continous self-sabotage... I could go on and on. Lip is a complex role and briliantly played by Jeremy. But Shameless was also a larger cast of equally strong actors from Macy to Rossum to Fisher and Monaghan. Here, he gets to shine more because he's front and center in the story, giving us a better chance at really seeing his acting chops.
Same here. About my dad. Especially sadly the not knowing him part. I made a promise to visit more get to know him, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and died two weeks into me staying there.
The part where he's saying how he was basically doing all this to show his brother how great he was, and the long pause after is heartbreaking. Not only will he *never* get the validation from his brother that he wanted, he missed out on so much time with him because of it.
“ Didn’t have a lot of friends growing up, was afraid to speak half the time, got shitty grades cuz I couldn’t pay attention in school, didn’t get into college, didn’t have any girlfriends, I don’t think I’m funny”… This resonates more then it should. The whole monologue is great this man deserves an award.
@@inxiti I think that's kind of the point. All life is balance and being on your own is so peaceful it becomes addicting, hence unhealthy. Sociability is something we all need and crave despite what we tell ourselves. For me the hardest part about getting out of a depressive episode was ingratiating properly with others again, and finding the strength to raise my social frequency beyond that of someone who 'just wanted to be left alone'. I still feel that way sometimes.
“It means a lot to me, I just don’t know if it ever meant anything to him.” Man this hits hard, past a show, past a restaurant. It applies for so much in life.
"I didn't have a lot of friends growing up. I had a stutter as a kid, I was afraid to speak half the time, and uh, I got shitty grades cuz I couldn't pay attention in school so I didn't get into college, I didn't have any girlfriends, I don't think I'm funny." I've never seen this show, but it's making me tear up. I'm seeing a guy who's always struggled with insecurities and confidence in life, who lost the only person that didn't see him as useless. It appears he lost his best friend and his idol all in one.
I've been cooking for the last 10½ years and have been a sous chef for about the last 4½ years. The way that this series depicts a chefs lifestyle really hits home in multiple ways. The way that anxiety, stress, depression, social isolation, etc. is portrayed is literally down to the T. Even the small details like drinking out of a quart container while sitting on a stack of pallets and smoking a cigarette right outside of the backdoor of the kitchen. Or a having a bottle of Tums in the bathroom to snack on because of stress related IBS. I really hope the main thing that people take away from this show is how much people in the culinary arts field have to put up with and sacrifice in the name of our passion.
Hey I have a lot more respect for where my food comes and the passion that’s put into it, I’ll definitely appreciate people like you and the food way more now.
I really don't know know how anyone in the culinary field does it. It looks fun and rewarding, but also unbelievably stressful and hard. Thank you for what you do.
This is exactly how people speak in AA style meetings. the writing and delivery are spot on for this. They don't know what to say or how much to let random people in, they go off on tangents, stare at the floor, and they pause exactly like he does. It's almost like you're talking to yourself about this stuff. you're explaining to yourself as if you're someone else a sequence of events and often times it leads to epiphanies like him trying to fix his brother's restaurant to fix his brother. I've never seen this show other than this one monologue, but man this is some quality stuff.
@@totalba69maybe go to some more meetings. All the shares aren't this deep, and people aren't always that eloquent, but I've definitely heard countless shares with this much raw emotion behind them.

This show gave me the courage to start going to Al-Anon meetings. I relate a lot to Carmy and seeing him do it made me feel like I could do it too. Thank you Jeremy and everyone who made this show happen. You changed my life!
I remember seeing this scene for the first time and i was glued to the screen, in awe and hearing him say I didn’t had a lot of friends growing up reminded me a lot of myself
For someone who tells his sister that he doesn’t understand how he feels, so much so that he can’t even ask her how she feels, Carmy certainly expresses himself with utmost eloquence in this scene.
It's sometimes easier in the company of strangers than family. Family will always have a fixed idea of who you are, or could be but they don't know you or try to get to know you.
I think a major character plot point for him, is coming to understand how he feels over the course of the season. It seems intentional that he couldn't articulate those feelings until this scene
That's the point, he can't express himself to HER or anyone close, so he had to vomit up this speech to complete strangers. This was the only way he could get it out.
Wow. I had no idea this was seven minutes. It’s wild, he navigates so well through this monologue, can see self reflection, pain, confusion, a little understanding. He is truly an amazing actor. Shameless only scratched the surface of his talents. And he’s still fairly early in his career, he’s going to be one of the greats.
The way he delivered this scene made me feel like he was both speaking to and for me. Having worked in kitchens for almost 10 years you really reflect on your life. How you miss out on birthdays, family trips, and life events in general all in the name of doing what you love. Thank you for giving those who work in the kitchen a voice and a realistic representation of what it is like to work in kitchens.
@@TickleMeElmo55 spoken like someone who has never truly worked towards mastering their passion and doesn’t understand the first bit of sacrifice it takes.
This is a masterclass in acting. Everything was perfect. The cadence, the delivery, the tones, the facial acting and hardest of all, the acting in his eyes. I'm a huge fan now.
Everyone here is praising the performance, deservedly so, it is awe inspiring. But let’s also appreciate the brilliant writing of this character and monologue that allows Jeremy Allen White to deliver such a phenomenal scene. It all starts with the writer, even if we can’t see them like we can the actor. Everyone who works on this show is in a league of their own, it is tremendous.
“And the more he wouldn’t respond, and the more our relationship kinda strained, the deeper into this I went and the better I got. And the more people I cut out, the quieter my life got.” This sentiment man, it’s so fricken relatable. When all you have in your head is this constant noise that just drowns everything else out, dealing with anything or anyone else just seems impossible. So you do whatever you have to do to limit the noise. To not go under.
My older brother passed away suddenly this year. About 3 months later I watched the bear. I don't really get emotional at shows, but this monologue made me break down into ugly crying. I really struggle to talk about my emotions when it comes to my brothers death, and its a subject that always seems to pop up when least convenient. The Bear, and in particular this episode; this scene, is a gift. Now, when people ask me how things are, I don't have to make myself feel vulnerable or dig into stuff that'll rip me apart. I just tell people to watch the bear. Watch this episode. That's how I feel.
Having now seen S3 watching this back is even more heartbreaking because Michael was so proud of Carm. When he gets the text photo through of his dish, he’s so proud he shows it off to a total stranger. Even though he knows he doesn’t understand the complexity of it or what it takes to make something of that quality, he knows his brother is absolutely crushing it and he’s so proud of him for it. Just didn’t reply to tell him.
@@LindaGreen-ox7es I think it's because Michael didn't want Carm to look back. He didn't want him to work at the restaurant and worry about him because he probably thought that he and the restaurant would hold Carmy back. He knew that Carmy would flew higher than him in the cooking and restaurant business and making him work in or worry about the Beef will not make him reach his maximum potential as a chef. That's why Michael was hesitant when Carmy told him about the restaurant in the flashbacks in season 3, because he didn't want his little brother to end up in the same place as he was when he knew he could achieve so much more.
I just binged the entire series last night. You guys have something truly amazing with the show. Please, please have a season 2. This show will not only win awards but will bring in a lot of new fans.
For people who struggled with low self-esteem while growing up this hits too close to home. Amazing how this monologue is so well written, paced and acted
I see myself in Carmy so much it’s ridiculous, I lost my brother 9 years ago to an accidental overdose and every single trait he shows is embedded in me. The outbursts of anger, putting his needs aside, pushing people away. The only pain that comes close to losing a child is losing a sibling. A part of you dies too, and no one understands that pain till it happens to you. I feel heard and seen with this show, thank you.
The entire first season is one of the best portrayals of people going through grief every filmed. Jeremy Allen White's monologue just seals how much the entire season revolves around people coming to terms with losing someone they love to suicide.
I really love how he isn't always looking down, how he almost looks directly at the camera, like, he's finally calling out for help, not only from this Al-Anon Meeting, but also, from the audience Also, those little pauses, so real, not awkward at all, it has you glued on to the screen all the time
@@BHammer Hard thing is the Emmys, unlike the Oscars, usually has a lot valid performances that could be nominated. The Oscars truly is a political nomination within the industry. Every now and then you may get someone like Vanessa Kirby who gets in who took a decade to get where she's at, but even then her slot could said to be "actor who's been toiling away for years slot and finally gets lead in acclaimed indie or prestige film"
It’s crazy how good this is. I really want Bob Ofenkirk to win for the series finale. Jeremy’s performance in episode 7 and 8 is incredible. The two episodes were a perfect marriage in characterization. Oh my god! The Emmy voters usually get it wrong. But if either of those two win, then I’ll be happy
Very talented man,he was in "Shameless " and you can see how much he has grown ,he deserves every chance to get more and more parts to show just how talented he is
carmen is a special character and its proved clearly in this scene. every other show you have a main character who has friends, has partners, isn't overall miserable while doing what they love, but carmen is realistic. he never had girlfriends, doesn't have close friendships, avoids his family like the plague, and it takes him until his breaking point to realize somethings not right. And that's refreshing to see when you relate to that
From someone who has worked in the industry as a chef for many years in both high and low, michelin and bar restaurants/establishments the monologs and the show as a whole is a great representation of a little bit of what goes on. Love the show. Hope for a season 2.
When i saw "7 minute monologue" before i watched the episode, i thought, "man, this is going to feel like forever." But it doesn't. I've watched it twice in its entirety, and it doesn't feel like 7 minutes. You get so pulled in and invested in his story and his emotions that the 7 minutes just pass by without you even knowing. Such an amazing scene.
An instant factor that immerses us is Jeremy’s pauses, because when a monologue this intense and insightful, the character has to draw on everything in their life and Jeremy embodying Carmen is amazing talent.
This monologue is PERFECT!! Jeremy Allen White is an artist with his acting. I’m glad he getting the recognition because he was awesome in “Shameless”.
I love that 1:58 is the most replayed part because it's my favorite part of the monologue. The way Jeremy Allen White delivers those lines just sounds so earnest and authentic
Huh. I just realized that this being almost 7 minutes in length, is maybe like an ode or symbolic for the seven stages of grief you go through when you’ve lost someone. White does a fantastic job at navigating through all the emotions. The silence in between the dialogue is perfect, the timing, the portrayal of all the emotions, you can really feel it. But going back to the silences you really see the difference between the emotions. Man, i can’t say anything bad about the show. I am already waiting for season two.
Man was glued to the screen at this monologue and probably watch it couple of time, only now I'm realising it's 7 mins long. Great actor, great writing, great show.
I was bawling during this scene. My parents died from alcoholism. My mom was one all of my childhood. My family mostly shamed her instead of trying to help.. I wish I could’ve helped her more. Sometimes it’s only until they’re gone when you understand how much pain they were in and how easy it can be to slip and not get back up.
I binge watched the entire season in 2 days! This was my favorite moment. Not entirely sure if I was just amazed with his brilliant acting or that I identified with his feelings about his brother. I also lost my brother to suicide.
Sorry for your loss. It really is an amazing performance. Reminds me of the impromptu speech at celebration of life my own brother gave about our baby brother who hung himself. TV like this is healing tbh
Wow, thank you for posting this so I can watch it again and again. As a member of Al-anon and a person currently obsessed with Jeremy Allen White, I hugely appreciate it.
The crazy thing is he said in an interview after this scene he cried a little cause he was so disappointed in himself and felt like he didn’t do as well as he could have
I just want to give him a giant hug. I didn't know this actor before this show, but he's amazing. I was fully invested in this character. I hope it will RAIN Emmys
Wow! He’s so captivating. I felt it the first time I saw him as Lip. He just pulls you right in. You feel like it’s just you and him in the room. He’s so young and he is already one of the best, ever. ❤
While the entire 7 minutes is absolute S-Tier acting; I gotta say the single most powerful line, as a recovering addict, is when he says, "I didn't even know my brother was using drugs; what does that say?" Always breaks me on the spot, just something about his sudden realization that he didn't even really know his brother or the demons he was facing, and has no idea how he could've helped him even if he did. Masterclass.
I spendtten years of my life in the restaurant industry, I was not a chef, I was front of the house, but this series is so unbelievably accurate, the speed, the rythm, the diamogues, I've never wateched anything that restitutes the vibe of a kitchen so well, and that guy is a fantastic actor
Just finished binge watching The Bear this morning and was absolutely mesmerized by this monologue. It's something young actors will be studying in the future. Hell, they should be studying it now.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - Jeremy is one of the most talented actors I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching on screen. Every role he plays, he completely embodies the role. You don’t see other characters he’s played, you see the character he’s portraying at that very second and you’re drawn in because he finds a way to make a name on paper feel like a human being. It’s not just about what he says, but about what he doesn’t say. It’s about the body language and the subtle changes in expression. He makes every character he plays feel real and relatable and alive. That is extreme talent. It’s less that he’s playing pretend and more like he’s breathing life into something. He taking something fake and he’s making it real. It’s really beautiful, actually and honestly pretty rare.
Everything he's saying about having a routine to ground him and give him not just confidence but a sense of safety and stability really, really resonates with me. This whole monologue is brilliant and fascinating for how it frames the pursuit of excellence as an escape in itself.
When he talked, he reminds me of Anthony Bourdain, reading Kitchen Confidential for the first time. Great scene, great monologue. Jeremy Allen White is a great actor and this is one of many proofs
I'm confident this is the scene that solidified his Golden Globe. He was phenomenal for the whole show, but this scene is simply incredible. Love Jeremy and hope he starts appearing in more and more big productions in the future!
what a powerful scene this had me glued to the chair, hit me hard i was in tears when he said good job, wanting something so simple yet having to move mountains to obtain it.
I don’t have a brother so I won’t ever feel what it’s like to have someone like that by your side. But I myself am an alcoholic & wanna be better and I feel like I’m the Mikey in peoples lives. Hearing him talk about his brother felt like someone talking about myself in third person. It tore me up for 7 mins. The power in the words drove me to tears. What a scene.
i relate to this a lot, especially “being the mikey”-i strongly identify with him, especially in the episode fishes. i’m sure many who know or have known you appreciate and cherish your presence in their lives, regardless of whether that feels obvious to you or difficult to believe. wishing you serenity, peace, and recovery 💫💫
"And the routine of the kitchen was so consistent, and exacting, and busy and hard and alive and I lost track of time and he died."
That’s why he hate so much the other chef, the one that made him great
I think that's a part everyone can relate to. Death is the most final thing possible, and often times we have regrets when it does come.
I had no idea this was 7 minutes long! I was glued to the screen; what a performer
Until I went back and rewatched this scene I never knew either! I was so glued to it
It felt way longer it was so real
Dude right? He doesn’t even mention he ran the best restaurant in the world
Same! This whole show flew by
Same. It flew by. This dude's getting all the awards this year.
The way he says ‘my brother is an addict, my brother WAS an addict…’ so understated. So heartbreaking

I think a major character plot point for him, is coming to understand how he feels over the course of the season.
It seems intentional that he couldn't articulate those feelings until this scene
That's the point, he can't express himself to HER or anyone close, so he had to vomit up this speech to complete strangers. This was the only way he could get it out.
there's a lot of difference in venting to a friend or family member, or venting to strangers or a professional.
It's so, so much easier to upon to strangers about trauma. That's why therapists are a thing.
Wow. I had no idea this was seven minutes. It’s wild, he navigates so well through this monologue, can see self reflection, pain, confusion, a little understanding. He is truly an amazing actor. Shameless only scratched the surface of his talents. And he’s still fairly early in his career, he’s going to be one of the greats.
The way he delivered this scene made me feel like he was both speaking to and for me. Having worked in kitchens for almost 10 years you really reflect on your life. How you miss out on birthdays, family trips, and life events in general all in the name of doing what you love. Thank you for giving those who work in the kitchen a voice and a realistic representation of what it is like to work in kitchens.
"in the name of doing what you love."
Bruh, it's called a work schedule.
@@TickleMeElmo55 spoken like someone who has never truly worked towards mastering their passion and doesn’t understand the first bit of sacrifice it takes.
I never realized this monologue was seven minutes in length. I was completely absorbed by it. Amazing actor.
This is a masterclass in acting. Everything was perfect. The cadence, the delivery, the tones, the facial acting and hardest of all, the acting in his eyes. I'm a huge fan now.
Everyone here is praising the performance, deservedly so, it is awe inspiring.
But let’s also appreciate the brilliant writing of this character and monologue that allows Jeremy Allen White to deliver such a phenomenal scene. It all starts with the writer, even if we can’t see them like we can the actor.
Everyone who works on this show is in a league of their own, it is tremendous.
His acting is on another level. The whole time I was literally drawn into this like I was actually there.
“And the more he wouldn’t respond, and the more our relationship kinda strained, the deeper into this I went and the better I got. And the more people I cut out, the quieter my life got.”
This sentiment man, it’s so fricken relatable. When all you have in your head is this constant noise that just drowns everything else out, dealing with anything or anyone else just seems impossible. So you do whatever you have to do to limit the noise. To not go under.
My older brother passed away suddenly this year. About 3 months later I watched the bear. I don't really get emotional at shows, but this monologue made me break down into ugly crying.
I really struggle to talk about my emotions when it comes to my brothers death, and its a subject that always seems to pop up when least convenient. The Bear, and in particular this episode; this scene, is a gift. Now, when people ask me how things are, I don't have to make myself feel vulnerable or dig into stuff that'll rip me apart. I just tell people to watch the bear. Watch this episode. That's how I feel.
He is the most thought out relatable character I’ve ever scene, his emotion, his struggle. Perfectly imperfect.
Having now seen S3 watching this back is even more heartbreaking because Michael was so proud of Carm. When he gets the text photo through of his dish, he’s so proud he shows it off to a total stranger. Even though he knows he doesn’t understand the complexity of it or what it takes to make something of that quality, he knows his brother is absolutely crushing it and he’s so proud of him for it. Just didn’t reply to tell him.
Why? Why did Michael shut his brother out?
@@LindaGreen-ox7es I think it's because Michael didn't want Carm to look back. He didn't want him to work at the restaurant and worry about him because he probably thought that he and the restaurant would hold Carmy back. He knew that Carmy would flew higher than him in the cooking and restaurant business and making him work in or worry about the Beef will not make him reach his maximum potential as a chef.
That's why Michael was hesitant when Carmy told him about the restaurant in the flashbacks in season 3, because he didn't want his little brother to end up in the same place as he was when he knew he could achieve so much more.
I just binged the entire series last night. You guys have something truly amazing with the show. Please, please have a season 2. This show will not only win awards but will bring in a lot of new fans.
Yup season 2 confirmed!
My bf and myself just did that too!!!! It was so gripping!
Idk. I like the way it ended.
The writing and acting has it shaping up to be career defining roles for these actors and one of the best series ever made.
I think it actually ended well. It was basically a 5hr movie
I lost my sister to addiction and this speech was the single realest moment in this show for me.
I'm so sorry. I lost a husband to alcoholism.
So sorry for your loss….
I'm sorry to hear that. stay strong.
I'm sorry to hear that. Can't even imagine.
Idc tbf
For people who struggled with low self-esteem while growing up this hits too close to home. Amazing how this monologue is so well written, paced and acted
I see myself in Carmy so much it’s ridiculous, I lost my brother 9 years ago to an accidental overdose and every single trait he shows is embedded in me. The outbursts of anger, putting his needs aside, pushing people away. The only pain that comes close to losing a child is losing a sibling. A part of you dies too, and no one understands that pain till it happens to you. I feel heard and seen with this show, thank you.
I'm so sorry for your loss and wish you strength in dealing with the always-present ramifications of that kind of loss.
Your brother is with you always
This monologue will be done in so many theater classes.
Butchered, mostly.
@@TheAndrewj96gotta start somewhere
It won't it's 7 minutes only very select few can make it not feel like 7 minutes
This guy has to be one of the most compelling actors of his generation, at least in terms of American media. Utterly compelling.
The entire first season is one of the best portrayals of people going through grief every filmed. Jeremy Allen White's monologue just seals how much the entire season revolves around people coming to terms with losing someone they love to suicide.
A powerful scene …the “how” of sibling knowledge is palpable…
I really love how he isn't always looking down, how he almost looks directly at the camera, like, he's finally calling out for help, not only from this Al-Anon Meeting, but also, from the audience
Also, those little pauses, so real, not awkward at all, it has you glued on to the screen all the time
I really hope Jeremy gets an emmy nomination next year! He's beyond good.
Totally agree! If he doesn't then the Emmys should be considered unreliable and a sham.
@@BHammer Hard thing is the Emmys, unlike the Oscars, usually has a lot valid performances that could be nominated. The Oscars truly is a political nomination within the industry. Every now and then you may get someone like Vanessa Kirby who gets in who took a decade to get where she's at, but even then her slot could said to be "actor who's been toiling away for years slot and finally gets lead in acclaimed indie or prestige film"
You could see a golden globe nomination this year possibly for comedy. Much better than an emmy
It’s crazy how good this is. I really want Bob Ofenkirk to win for the series finale. Jeremy’s performance in episode 7 and 8 is incredible. The two episodes were a perfect marriage in characterization. Oh my god! The Emmy voters usually get it wrong. But if either of those two win, then I’ll be happy
Well Emmy and golden globe now :)
I can't believe what an amazing actor he is. This monologue was all one long take. That is incredible focus.
It's so incredibly good, i didn't even realized it was 7 minutes long. It's an outstanding performance.
That is how monologues work.
@@corail53thanks
@@corail53monologues can be edited. That's how film works.
Very talented man,he was in "Shameless " and you can see how much he has grown ,he deserves every chance to get more and more parts to show just how talented he is
Yep, whenever I see him or here him I'm like lip?
carmen is a special character and its proved clearly in this scene. every other show you have a main character who has friends, has partners, isn't overall miserable while doing what they love, but carmen is realistic. he never had girlfriends, doesn't have close friendships, avoids his family like the plague, and it takes him until his breaking point to realize somethings not right. And that's refreshing to see when you relate to that
From someone who has worked in the industry as a chef for many years in both high and low, michelin and bar restaurants/establishments the monologs and the show as a whole is a great representation of a little bit of what goes on. Love the show. Hope for a season 2.
Barely scratches the suface but the message is pure
Jeremy Allen White is STILL the most underrated actor in the game right now. He kills everything he touches.
When i saw "7 minute monologue" before i watched the episode, i thought, "man, this is going to feel like forever." But it doesn't. I've watched it twice in its entirety, and it doesn't feel like 7 minutes. You get so pulled in and invested in his story and his emotions that the 7 minutes just pass by without you even knowing. Such an amazing scene.
As a cook of 15 years this resonates more than anything I've ever seen on screen. He's speaking for me.
This is why he definitely deserved the award. I’m crying from this scene. I mean it was so real I felt it
An instant factor that immerses us is Jeremy’s pauses, because when a monologue this intense and insightful, the character has to draw on everything in their life and Jeremy embodying Carmen is amazing talent.
Started crying as soon as he said his name. This episode is so good.
This monologue is PERFECT!! Jeremy Allen White is an artist with his acting. I’m glad he getting the recognition because he was awesome in “Shameless”.
1:45 hits so close to home it’s not even funny. Amazing acting, AMAZING scene
I love that 1:58 is the most replayed part because it's my favorite part of the monologue. The way Jeremy Allen White delivers those lines just sounds so earnest and authentic
Six minutes of this is taken in a single shot - it was perfect.
The moment i fell in love with the character. He was so raw and open. Carmie is so hurt and broken yet you can see he's a fighter underneath.
The “Good JOB!” line stabs you like an ice pick.
Huh. I just realized that this being almost 7 minutes in length, is maybe like an ode or symbolic for the seven stages of grief you go through when you’ve lost someone. White does a fantastic job at navigating through all the emotions. The silence in between the dialogue is perfect, the timing, the portrayal of all the emotions, you can really feel it. But going back to the silences you really see the difference between the emotions. Man, i can’t say anything bad about the show. I am already waiting for season two.
I love when actors play the stressed out role and really express how they feel just by carmy hair you can tell he going through it
My GOD!!!! The lines! I can’t fathom being an actor and making it seem this genuine.
This scene was RIVETING. I cried like a baby @ season 1’s end.. This actor is EVERYTHING in this role. Bravo Jeremy!
Man was glued to the screen at this monologue and probably watch it couple of time, only now I'm realising it's 7 mins long. Great actor, great writing, great show.
"My skin was dry and oily at the same time." And the rest of that line hits so true to being a cook.
This reminds me of Paul Mescal’s performance in normal people when he was talking to the therapist. Just amazing acting!
I have a lot of respect for actors that can add depth to scenes like this
I’m slowly losing my older brother to alcoholism/depression. This really resonated with me on a deep level. 😢
Reach out, as much as you can.
Yeah just be around him and talk. About anything. It will take his mind off of the bad thoughts and he’ll appreciate that.
I was bawling during this scene. My parents died from alcoholism. My mom was one all of my childhood. My family mostly shamed her instead of trying to help.. I wish I could’ve helped her more. Sometimes it’s only until they’re gone when you understand how much pain they were in and how easy it can be to slip and not get back up.
His hair deserves an Oscar for its supporting role in this performance!
I binge watched the entire season in 2 days! This was my favorite moment. Not entirely sure if I was just amazed with his brilliant acting or that I identified with his feelings about his brother. I also lost my brother to suicide.
Same. I lost my brother to cancer.
Sorry for your loss. It really is an amazing performance. Reminds me of the impromptu speech at celebration of life my own brother gave about our baby brother who hung himself. TV like this is healing tbh
my deepest condolences.
I'm so sorry.
I am so sorry for all of you whose siblings have passed away.
Wow, thank you for posting this so I can watch it again and again. As a member of Al-anon and a person currently obsessed with Jeremy Allen White, I hugely appreciate it.
The crazy thing is he said in an interview after this scene he cried a little cause he was so disappointed in himself and felt like he didn’t do as well as he could have
So good. Can feel his pain
He deserves an Emmy next year for this!!
Totally, and more roles!!!
He deserves much better things imo
@@Dreamhousedream True! He deserves a movie career as well as a TV career, among other things!
yoooooooooooo
His delivery was perfect but whoever wrote that needs their props too
I just want to give him a giant hug.
I didn't know this actor before this show, but he's amazing. I was fully invested in this character. I hope it will RAIN Emmys
Wow! He’s so captivating. I felt it the first time I saw him as Lip. He just pulls you right in. You feel like it’s just you and him in the room. He’s so young and he is already one of the best, ever. ❤
While the entire 7 minutes is absolute S-Tier acting; I gotta say the single most powerful line, as a recovering addict, is when he says, "I didn't even know my brother was using drugs; what does that say?" Always breaks me on the spot, just something about his sudden realization that he didn't even really know his brother or the demons he was facing, and has no idea how he could've helped him even if he did. Masterclass.
The " I guess " sort of chuckle than the long pause, great actor. After that I was glued to the speech.
I spendtten years of my life in the restaurant industry, I was not a chef, I was front of the house, but this series is so unbelievably accurate, the speed, the rythm, the diamogues, I've never wateched anything that restitutes the vibe of a kitchen so well, and that guy is a fantastic actor
He’s such a phenomenal actor… You can hear and see all of the pain without him having to shed even one tear
Jeremy is a natural. It literally feels like someone is just filming a stranger.
A performance I come back to again and again. Truly remarkable work.
Just finished binge watching The Bear this morning and was absolutely mesmerized by this monologue. It's something young actors will be studying in the future. Hell, they should be studying it now.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - Jeremy is one of the most talented actors I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching on screen. Every role he plays, he completely embodies the role. You don’t see other characters he’s played, you see the character he’s portraying at that very second and you’re drawn in because he finds a way to make a name on paper feel like a human being. It’s not just about what he says, but about what he doesn’t say. It’s about the body language and the subtle changes in expression. He makes every character he plays feel real and relatable and alive. That is extreme talent. It’s less that he’s playing pretend and more like he’s breathing life into something. He taking something fake and he’s making it real. It’s really beautiful, actually and honestly pretty rare.
Everything he's saying about having a routine to ground him and give him not just confidence but a sense of safety and stability really, really resonates with me. This whole monologue is brilliant and fascinating for how it frames the pursuit of excellence as an escape in itself.
I just watched this last night for my first time and wow it didn’t feel like 7 minutes. Incredible writing and incredible acting
I've never seen such a powerful monologue that demands your attention.
Good actors know how to use dialogue. Only great actors know how to use silence.
When he talked, he reminds me of Anthony Bourdain, reading Kitchen Confidential for the first time. Great scene, great monologue. Jeremy Allen White is a great actor and this is one of many proofs
god may he rest in peace
If this isn’t an award winning performance I don’t know what is. He killed it. This show is incredible and has such heart.
This is one of the best scenes I have seen in recent television. You could feel the emotion in it
So relatable. Felt it all with every word-
I'm confident this is the scene that solidified his Golden Globe. He was phenomenal for the whole show, but this scene is simply incredible. Love Jeremy and hope he starts appearing in more and more big productions in the future!
what a powerful scene this had me glued to the chair, hit me hard i was in tears when he said good job, wanting something so simple yet having to move mountains to obtain it.
One of the best monologs ever. I'm crying every time I see this. This show is so well written it breaks me in half.
I don’t have a brother so I won’t ever feel what it’s like to have someone like that by your side. But I myself am an alcoholic & wanna be better and I feel like I’m the Mikey in peoples lives. Hearing him talk about his brother felt like someone talking about myself in third person. It tore me up for 7 mins. The power in the words drove me to tears. What a scene.
i relate to this a lot, especially “being the mikey”-i strongly identify with him, especially in the episode fishes. i’m sure many who know or have known you appreciate and cherish your presence in their lives, regardless of whether that feels obvious to you or difficult to believe. wishing you serenity, peace, and recovery 💫💫
