This is an accurate depiction of life. He created this system to protect himself, he took her advice and let the walls down, and was summarily burned at the other side of it 😂.
“It’s simple. You know that feeling when you look into someone’s eyes and you can feel them staring into your soul and the whole world goes quiet, just for a second. Right well I don’t”.
I wonder how Natalie would have reacted when she learned Alex was married and considered her relationship with Ryan as a 'parenthesis'. Interesting that both women in the context of an arguement with him referred to him as being immature. In this scene, Natalie said Ryan was acting like a 12 year old and Alex in their final phone conversation said, "You don't even know what you want...Well, I am an adult (in a tone that implied that he was acting in a way that wasn't that), so if you want to see me again, call".
Spoiler alert. Alex is later revealed to be married and there is no future beyond casual. But Natalie projects her childish fantasies about marriage on to him without thought of whether he and Alex are already getting what they want. Natalie accuses him of being a 12 year old, but in reality, it's her.
Jonathan facts, he wouldn’t have decided to go through with it if he wasn’t seeking something. Unless he’s one of those people who has an open mind to what others think they should do... in both cases, it wasn’t her fault. In the movie it’s all about how we relate to each other. If it’s better to be alone or be involved with someone/people and they both have pros and cons depending on who you are, I don’t get how people aren’t realizing this. Lmao
Pretty sure it’s her surroundings. Yes it’s important to separate business from personal, but later we see in the movie (during the virtual meeting with Samuels) she’s sucking down her emotions/empathy to behave in a soulless way. At 23, that’d probably have some effect with how you view life outside your job so I think she was looking for some semblance of ‘true love’ or humanity from someone she probably looks up to in a way. She doesn’t have the power to be like Ryan (Clooney) and use the people manipulatively that she fires, thus her world is crumbling before it’s time to rebuild a new way of seeing life. I also see their relationship as father and daughter, given how he comforts her and accepts her various apologies, especially since in the book, he’s dying.
Ironic that the relationship is actually casual, and he got lectured by two “grown-up”s in the end. He would probably be much happier if he didn’t change, and enjoy the million mile card like a true boy :)
So most of you are saying a 20 year old character forced and coerced a 50 year old bachelor into getting into a relationship??? He had no mental say in his own decisions? You guys gotta be kidding me 😂 and that, all I say is to each their own and this is a damn movie lmao
"Ya know that moment when you look into someone's eyes and the whole world goes quiet...just for a second?......you do?.....right, well I don't." I LOVE IT!
Kendrick is an underrated actress. It's a shame she's basically type-casted now. She's got a good commercial voice though. So, she's probably set with Hilton hotels.
@@jon8004 the point of the movie was clooney decided to committ to her and she betrayed him. like in real life. thats the point. the point is clooney was living the right lifestyle all along. MGTOW
That’s life. And it isn’t her fault. It’s Vera Farmiga’s character’s fault... also this is a movie and a story. Regardless, a 23 year old versus a 30-40 year old have different viewpoints of what they want.... even in vice versa (there are 30 year olds who believe in idyllic marriage life).. and some get what they want and some don’t. That’s life.
Emily Stevenson haha that’s why she’s on the ramp when she’s yelling at him to give her character the power in the scene despite her small stature, her words and level were still dominant over Clooney in that moment.
In this movie Kendrick portrays a character that is smart but lacks life experience and that becomes her weak point. She is unable to cope with firing people and here she gives him terrible advise.
She's projecting HARD. He's fine with who he is but since it runs contrary to her established worldview it bugs the crap out of her that he's able to get away with his lifestyle. Typical.
Me too, along with 5-Meo & afterwards it gave me courage to speak to someone I used to like, but hadn't got the courage to talk to her. We dated for almost a year, But In the end, she didn't loved me back. Felt sad for almost a year, but never recurring to drugs or alcohol to diminish the pain. I let myself to feel the pain. I know my worth, and it hurts a lot less than it did back then. Lesson learned
Jesus.. I haven't watched the movie.. But she reminds me of people I know or met... She can't handle or accept people living a different way... That's not aligned with how she wants to live, because for her, that's all she knows... An anything less than that.. For her a house.. Husband, kids.. White picket fence.. Anything less than that is utterly terrifying...
Women always get intimidated by men’s lifestyle. Yet, she hooked up with a random guy while he sees his girl from time to time-despite the sad outcome.
The mental hoops people have jumped through on this movie to say Clooney's character was always "right" is my favorite part of this movie. Pseudointellectual bullshit.
Thats ironic cause men create entire religions attempting to brainwash women that their purpose is to be married and have kids, men also call single and childfree women "worthless" and then get pissed when women say they don't need a man to be happy
@@nikig2382 not always. but usually. Middle aged women are horrific to deal with in general. Their attitude is poor comparatively. yes there are idiots like Ben Affleck. im not denying that. but in general, i just want every middle aged women who gives an attitude because things didnt work out for them to know....while you are being a pain, his other option is a gorgeous 22-30 year old who is positive about life. Not a hard decision. not my first rodeo...have seen this over and over. and guess which path i chose? Most guys do.
I love Clooney and Kendrick's bantering in this movie. Great chemistry.
ASerbian kurcubic kure Dude seriously get lost.
This movie was MGTOW before there was MGTOW
I love how it turns out she's 100% wrong about her, because she's projecting so hard.
the script writing in this movie is amazing! so many great lines, I have no idea why this movie wasn't as big as it should have been!
It was critically acclaimed and was up for Best Picture. I don't know how it fared at the box office, though.
@@smill1985 I think it ia because people were expecting a happy ending
it came out around the time the economy was in the tank in the late 2000s. Not the kind of movie to be watching around the time this movie came out.
Because it didnt have superheros and robots and cars and explosions that go BOOM and stuff
It was pretty big when it came out. It was constantly considered the one of(if not the) best film of that year
This is an accurate depiction of life. He created this system to protect himself, he took her advice and let the walls down, and was summarily burned at the other side of it 😂.
He didn't choose this sigma life, it chose him. 😎
“It’s simple. You know that feeling when you look into someone’s eyes and you can feel them staring into your soul and the whole world goes quiet, just for a second. Right well I don’t”.
Me too. But the difference between us, I chose to believe it.
Sounds like me.
And because he didn't have that feeling he was a terrible person.
they both just nailed this scene.
Both of them...well, maybe except Kendrick.
Both of hers.
Zenzi Sage
Hell yeah! My nigga got some good taste!
i mean he still has a heart. if he were rele a prick he wouldnt have fallen into the water for a stupid piece of cardboard
Or, stupid, he could've taken off his shoes and socks and pick the board up with his toes
He does, he just chooses to not connect with people. Either in fear of getting hurt, feeling burdened, or hurting others...
such a great example of the amazing talent of both actors

Amen! Was thinking the same thing
@@jon8004 "Both right?" Nice try, but ... no. He's right, "white knight." Try again.
Jonathan Isolation does not mean depression, he would have been happier is he just kept his ground being who he was
I've met some women like Natalie in my life. Most of their relationships suffered the same fate.
Jonathan facts, he wouldn’t have decided to go through with it if he wasn’t seeking something.

I'd ask her why she would even care.

She’s projecting her own insecurities of her bf.
Poor girl, makes the mistake that so many people do: she thinks her point of view is the only correct one.
So does george.
Women 🤷🏻♂️ as per usual
One of the most surprising movies I ever watched. It is one of my favourite movies of all time now. Anna was just incredible in it.
Ironic that the relationship is actually casual, and he got lectured by two “grown-up”s in the end. He would probably be much happier if he didn’t change, and enjoy the million mile card like a true boy :)

Honestly He would’ve eventually found out she was married and broke it off anyway
Agree...
This movie is all about the brillant dialogues! This scene is simply great and played in an astonishing way by the two of them!
"Ya know that moment when you look into someone's eyes and the whole world goes quiet...just for a second?......you do?.....right, well I don't." I LOVE IT!
Same, i laughed so much 😂
Clooney was in his prime in the 2000s. So many good roles tailor made for him. The Descendants, Michael Clayton, Ocean’s Eleven, this.
I loved this movie as a 12 year old watching it on HBO late night and I love it as an adult. I want to make movies that hit like this
"A man who never felt something describing it to a woman" Priceless.
Kendrick is an underrated actress. It's a shame she's basically type-casted now. She's got a good commercial voice though. So, she's probably set with Hilton hotels.
What is she type cast as?
When a man goes his own way he is faced by hostility and shaming because a woman cannot comprehend that she's not that valuable to his happiness.
Jonathan they are “go their own way” bros. They think they are answering a question, but the reality is no one is asking them.
@@jon8004 the point of the movie was clooney decided to committ to her and she betrayed him. like in real life. thats the point. the point is clooney was living the right lifestyle all along. MGTOW
@@paulthomas9911 Agreed . MGTOW!
@@god6less indeed sir. we all report to Jesus. and he went his own way. enough said. :)
Amen
but Ryan and Alex were pretty comfortable with their life, this exchange actually generated feelings in Ryan which eventually broke the relationship
Even in heels Anna is still a tiny bit short but she is still me fav actress 😋😋
My mom is the Same height as her so it doesn't bother me😅😅
Anna Kendrick is gorgeous. Even when she is angry. She is gorgeous. And it is obvious in this movie, she has not found her Chloe yet.
Who's Chloe, lol? 🤔
And here seeing her rant, little she knows that that girl is married
That’s life. And it isn’t her fault. It’s Vera Farmiga’s character’s fault... also this is a movie and a story.

I love how even with heels Anna Kendrick is like a head shorter than George Clooney
Emily Stevenson haha that’s why she’s on the ramp when she’s yelling at him to give her character the power in the scene despite her small stature, her words and level were still dominant over Clooney in that moment.
He's just living the life that most men dare not dream
Hope the camera was safe 😉
I don't have a...... gauntlet of..... stuff...
In this movie Kendrick portrays a character that is smart but lacks life experience and that becomes her weak point. She is unable to cope with firing people and here she gives him terrible advise.
she's accurate. He is clearly avoidant attachment style
Anna: Screw you.
George: Yeah, screw you too!
Me:HAAHAHAHHAHAHA
Damn, I'd forgotten about this conversation. It really makes the conclusion of his relationship with Alex even more depressing.
Alex cheating on her husband is what’s depressing.
@@torachan23 and the cheating is revealed in the conclusion of the relationship so I'm not sure why you felt the need to point that out.
she is so small its really cute!
and it turns out Alex was married and just messing around on the side!
I don’t understand why she is mad at him.
STHis movies all about modern day romance, work, and great actors. That's why we all love watching it
She was wrong on that one...

She's projecting HARD. He's fine with who he is but since it runs contrary to her established worldview it bugs the crap out of her that he's able to get away with his lifestyle. Typical.
She looks so much better here than she does now trying to starve herself.
Shes not the one getting swept up by her feelings..:
My favorite scene in this movie!
Why do I get the feeling she really enjoyed laying Clooney out there?
That is such a beautiful line!
he didnt even jump into the water lol. stunt actor, for falling 2 feet
She read him like a Book lol

where was paul rudd in this?
@Mikhi esq I think the person was wondering why Paul Rudd was never in this movie to begin with.
I would marry her

When women realize that life’s true happiness has nothing to do with marriage, children, or human contact.
Thats ironic cause men create entire religions attempting to brainwash women that their purpose is to be married and have kids, men also call single and childfree women "worthless" and then get pissed when women say they don't need a man to be happy
You are one sad being. Especially about the human contact part kid.
Female manipulation 101. :)
o i love you clooney :)
haha love it!
while watching this, i was astounded clooney wanted the older hag as opposed to a better looking younger kendrick. he should have switched it up.
Are you really calling a 36-year-old Vera Farmiga an older hag? Really?? 🤔
@@nikig2382 i think shes like 50. even so..Hollywood never wants to piss off middle aged women. in real life he would be getting with the younger one.
@@paulthomas9911 She was 36 in this movie. Her age now is irrelevant. And no, older men don’t always get with way younger women.
