So true. That’s what I honestly love about movies. This is the only movie that really strikes the real feeling of reality. Thanks to the music done with Danny Elfman and the how the films perspective and filter was.
I thought about this movie every day for a year after I saw it. It was almost immediately in my top 10 of all time. Wallace was one of the most brilliant minds of his generation and the authenticity with which Jason Segel plays him, and Jesse Eisenberg as Lipsky, they both deserved Oscars. Same for the director and screenwriters. I get emotional every time I watch the trailer again.
RIP David Foster Wallace--he was one of my creative writing professors at ISU back in 2001. A very interesting mind and a sad ending. He is missed and I never have forgotten the things he taught me. I hope the film does him justice, though his books do that already.
Jason Segel is usually known for starring in half hearted, soulless comedies, but his portrayal of David Foster Wallace is probably his greatest dramatic role he ever did. Jesse Eisenberg also did a chilling portrayal of David Lipsky.
bingeit 45 The movie script was shit but the acting was good. And if you have seen HIMYM, This is 40, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, you know how good this guy is!
TheJibrilK He's not right for this role. He's supposed to be David Foster Wallace, check out an interview of his and you'll see why. Not saying he won't be good in the film, I just think he's miscast.
So happy to see the Freaks and Geeks generation starting to show their true potential these days. Oscars next year could realistically see nominations for Jason Segel and Seth Rogen.
Rogen? Why? Last movie I saw him in was The Interview. Does he have some amazing movie coming out? It would have to be more than amazing for him to get an Oscar nomination...
I haven't seen Steve Jobs, but with Danny Boyle directing it, its highly possible. Though I saw The End of the Tour at Sundance and Jason Segel is like a completely different actor to the one I've seen in so many things before. It's quite incredible how brilliant he is in this.
First of all, a lot of those films haven't been released yet so don't be so quick to say "there is no way". I never expected The Grand Budapest Hotel or Boyhood to maintain buzz throughout last year being released so early but it turned out pretty well. Don't see where Hardy's getting a nomination from, Steve Jobs could suck, The Program could suck, Black Mass could definitely suck (I hope it doesn't). Besides, Jason Segel would probably be getting a supporting nod and so wouldn't be competing with any of those actors in the first place.
I actually really liked this film, loved Segel in it, always liked him in comedy movies and HIMYM, but it's very interesting to see him play a character that gets so locked on
I don't understand why people are keep saying something is wrong with the actor cause I just watched this movie yesterday and I found it AMAZING. No matter the actors or the plot, everything matches so perfectly that you really think you are watching the life or an extraordinary but yet ordinary writer with a ordinary reporter who want to be extraordinary. The movie GIVES YOU FEELINGS, speechless yet emotionally and it's not even meant to be that way. SO I GOTTA SAY I LOVE THE MOVIE AND I LOVE JESSE EISENBERG.
I feel like people focus far too much on a physical likeness when it comes to films such as this. To me it matters less if the actor resembles the person and is more about whether or not they have the ability to truly embody the person as a whole. I mean I know it’s a rather broad example, but Leo DiCaprio looks absolutely nothing like Jordan Belfort but he did an incredible job of becoming him for that role which was the only thing that mattered to tell that story
Couple of bottles of wine into an autumn evening. Watched a few clips of David. Decided I'd watch this trailer, even though I've seen the film multiple times. Still brings tears to my eyes. Damn.
“ he want something better then he has , I want what he has already “ That’s because no matter how important you are in life there’s always someone more important
I don't care if I'm the only one who thinks so, but Jesse Eisenberg is an excellent and versatile actor, and those who can't see that simply aren't looking hard enough or are in denial. He could act circles around many mainstream actors.
Well he gets ripped mostly because he is a good actor, can’t deny that. But when so young and already 70% of roles are same cocky smarmy nerdy but cooler then you roles. Deserves the hate. Pacino gets ripped for some annoying things he always does and has did 100s of roles. Hard not too. So if already annoyed for actin exact same in several roles (and he has). That annoys people more then bad actors.
I thought about watching it but wasn't sure, my friend watched it and I asked him what is the movie really about. He told me "think about the best conversation you've ever had with someone, that's what this movie is about". So I think I'm gonna watch it :)
The saddest part of this movie is that when it was released in 2015, it was almost impossible to find in theaters. I don't understand the movie industry today. I had to wait for it to come on DVD before I could see it.
Jason Segel appears to have nailed DFW's mannerisms to a tee. If you compared the scenes from this trailer with Wallace's video recorded interviews, you would think they are the same person. Not only does he gesticulate and sound like DFW, but he also looks like him too: protruding chin and broad shoulders. After my initial skepticism about this casting, I am now looking forward to this film with excitement!
Jason Segel is kind of an odd choice for David Foster Wallace - I don't know if he'll be able to capture Wallace's nervous brilliance (something Eisenberg is better at, imo) along with DFW's repressed vanity (which, in a manner, contributed to his brilliance - the fear of being "found out as a fraud," etc). But this trailer is promising in all respects. I look forward to the movie.
***** Well, that is a salient point, but I never suggested that Eisenberg play DFW. I simply said that I felt he could better portray that nervous intensity. All the same, there is some precedent for going with a better actor over a solid lookalike. Par example: Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe, Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash, and David Oyelowo as MLK. But I do look forward to the film, regardless, and I have been surprised by Seger before (Jeff Who Lives At Home).
Frederic Germay Yes all destitute suicides are brilliant in an odd Cobainistic Kaballah way. Until we stop glorifying people after they're dead. ( American Stripper, Bruce Lee at the Apollo, Soupy Sales was way Funnier than Robin Williams!) we're going to keep stacking them up. What can you expect from a country that deified Hemingway?
@@jamesmadison3768they needed an actor who grew up in that midwestern rustic culture. Segal had the mannerisms down but not the personality. It was as if he was trying to impersonate that midwestern persona and failed.
I’m a film student so its hard for me not to focus on the writing, editing, cinematography, lighting, etc., and those things tend to be the first things that come to mind when I’m done watching a movie. If I remember correctly, the only word I could muster when I was done with this movie was “Wow.” It’s very rare for me not to have something to say when the credits roll so you know this movie is special.
Great movie but I was so disappointed to see they cut out the scene where he talks into the tape recorder alone. That could have been shot verbatim and I'm sure he had some brilliant insights.

@@Torch315 yeah i mean 1 its propping up this, everything is through the medium of superheros, monopoly of culture virus, and 2 the total commodification of a mans work, which warned about just this. and it just makes me sigh just a bit loudly :'(
I have to say my mind was blown seeing Jason segel transform into the brilliant writer David foster Wallace. I'm actually interested in if he pulls it off on an emotional level, and if he does, if it will ring oscar bells.
Um guys, this movie is nonfiction. It's an adaptation of David Lipsky's book "Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself" which details his time on the road with real-life author David Foster Wallace (whom everyone should read because he's just phenomenal) during a book tour. Segal is playing Wallace and Eisenberg is playing Lipsky. SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER David Foster Wallace hung himself in 2008.
DFW is one of my favorite authors, and for that reason I don't think you should seen this movie. This is based on a book called "Athough of Course You End Up Becomeing Yourself" which is deffinitly worth the read. Basically a three day long interview.
David Foster Wallace would never have submitted himself to this level of schmaltz. It is so important what he stood for(what he stood against). He never bought into the system, he saw it for what it was and choose to live as free as he could. This biopic completely missed his point. Our version of liberty is one which does the opposite where the reality is sacrifice for the principle of pleasure. The irony in everything, movies and the Simpsons. There is no truth or beauty anymore, you have to tarnish it. This movie makes him look like a hipster offering armchair platitudes or stoner philosophy, exactly what he stood against. And using music from a band like REM whose music has a message that deeply meaningful feeling is a substitute or par with having critical thought or knowledge, but had not movement behind it saying anything, represent a typical example of postmodern thinking. He was totally about getting out of the adopting a mentality where you just choose an easy life by not challenging the established thought or the political structure around your life. For a sort of shallow reality where you had comfort and pleasure but emptiness, where careers served as corrridors to the security of position and status but narrow, cellular lives of predictability.
marshall886 First of all, it's not a biopic. Secondly, I agree to the sentiment that REM is ill placed, and likely a studio decision, but what about this film appears to be ironic? If I remember correctly, DFW detested the fear of sentimentality which was a byproduct of the ironic movement. He didn't like the cliche'd stories of love that everyone has seen 250 times, but this film seems pure and alive and very "salt of the earth"-esque. It's two guys having a conversation and communicating through human interaction. And he offers no 'armchair psychology' in this trailer. Telling someone to "just be a good guy" is not armchair psychology nor is it stoner philosophy. It's just David being... David. I only met him once at a book signing, but from what I recall this is him down to a T. "This is all nice a beautiful, but none of it is real." -DFW This film feels real. No Hackneyed Hollywood conflicts, no CGI, and no fear of being emotional and human. Like it or not, this is how humans behave and what we are and how we love. We talk to one another and we bond. This is the story of two men doing just that, and it is probably going to be a touching one. And all of this speculation whether or not this is really "Wallace" is rather pointless. From what I hear it adheres almost directly to the David Lipsky's transcripts, so like it or not, it's nonfiction.
Flip/Side +marshall886 I saw this movie a few months ago, and it was great. Best writing I've ever experienced from a movie. Also, there are parts in the trailer that are a bit misleading. You have to watch the movie before you make these comments. Additionally, my neighbors in Bloomington hired DFW and he dated their daughter for a few years. They consulted on the movie, and said Segal played him to a T.
Flip/Side Lipsky recalls that one of DFW's favorite songs was Strange Currencies by REM, so the song has a purpose in the trailer. Source: flavorwire.com/384073/your-favorite-authors-favorite-musicians
I dig this trailer. Hopefully my anticipation won't be disappointing. Jason Segel looks like he's taking a different direction into his career and hopefully it is something different to what he usually do, (Which is a lot of comedies)
I kinda think Jesse Eisenburg would portray a genius like Wallace better of the two. Jesse has been pretty honest about taking prescriptions for his anxiety and it'd lend to use David's voice better.
***** mmmm....no I don't think so at all. Segel doesn't have that sprightly and oblivious vibe about him. Even when he's just sitting there at 0:13, there's something heavy and heartbreaking in his demeanor that carries throughout the trailer. Eisenberg, yeah - neurotic, mile-a-minute thinking. Segel - nah I think he really transformed for this film.
I might actually be down to see this one. Usually unless there are lots of absurd explosions and Scifi crap in the movie I don't bother. But this looks good.
I know the dogs in this movie!!!! I am going opening day to see them on the silver screen and also I guess Jason and Jesse are pretty cool too... I guess
Weird... This was filmed in my buddy's old house in Hudsonville Michigan. Not sure why they couldn't just film the whole thing in Minnesota if it takes place there
Everyone thinks the speech was a eulogy and is ignoring the fact that Eisenberg is a reporter and could very well narrate/read a blog or something about this if the plot so desired. Let's pump the brakes on the conclusion train.
This movie is one of the most authentic films I have ever seen. The writers and actors did an amazing job showing what is is to be human.
Well, all these straight-edge tech entrepreneurs today are human as well.

This movie looks incredible… I think Jason Segel has a lot more range than the general public gives him credit for.
Fr! He is so underrated, he has such talent than the main comedic parts he has played as.
What a performance by Jason Segel. Amazing.
wow, jason segel absolutely nailed it, he sounds just like david.
Molten_ I’m half convinced “I’m not so sure you wanna be me,” is a recording of Wallace himself.

Every year is a competitive year. It looks less likely for Rogen but I promise you Segel is getting a lot of buzz.

such a good movie, would recommend to anyone around and over the age of 18. You will most likely relate to this movie on several levels.
Jesse Eisenberg is my favorite actor by farrr

Five years on and it's still obvious that Segel should have gotten the Oscar.
Didn’t even get a nomination, which is somehow worse.

This was one of the first movies in a very long time that had me from the opening credits. I never looked away from the screen.
It's free on Amazon now

all you have to do is read a page of Wallace's work to realize that he was one of the smartest intellectuals ever to walk this earth.
There isn't anyone griping about the realism of the cars? I find this encouraging.

Weird... This was filmed in my buddy's old house in Hudsonville Michigan. Not sure why they couldn't just film the whole thing in Minnesota if it takes place there
Berry Griffin Michigan has better tax incentives for filmmakers. Similarly, DC shows often film in Baltimore for that same reason
It's hard to see him as someone other than Marshal. Anyone else feeling the same?
jason segel, you keep doing minnesota stuff and you just may become my favorite actor buddy. Keep up the good work, looks like a great movie.
Speech @ 2:00 is OBVIOUSLY after Jason Segel's character dies or something...
Everyone thinks the speech was a eulogy and is ignoring the fact that Eisenberg is a reporter and could very well narrate/read a blog or something about this if the plot so desired. Let's pump the brakes on the conclusion train.
***** Correct. I can confirm it was not a eulogy
Looks great, I hope it's as good as the critics say it is
great movie...
what's the song that plays toward the end?
R.E.M. - Strange Currencies
so close... Anyone else nervous nervous nervous for how they try to do justice to the mythic-status DFW?
Watching this because of Jason Segel
Seems like my taste.. Definitely gonna watch it..
