0:41 His facial reaction as the realisation of what kind of actor the studio has saddled him with washes over him is priceless. Ralph Fiennes is truly on e of the best in the business.
i love movies where he really flexes his comedy chops. hail caesar and in bruges are both absolutely hilarious
@@simonuhrick7674 definitely check out The Grand Budapest Hotel, its probably his finest (and largest) comedic performance
One of my favorite actors currently. He was hilarious in The Grand Budapest Hotel.
The irony of people thinking he's a bad actor because he's doing an amazing job at acting like a bad acting having trouble with this line is astonishing and no wonder people disagree with critics so much.
They just hate him because he is the new han solo
Apparently Disney called in an acting coach that had a marked improvement on his performance in SOLO.
Bruce Vayne except that this is done in every film ever
Like a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude
I dunno, do you need to be a good actor to play the role of a bad actor? Have you seen 'Henry's Crime'? Keanu Reeves plays a man in an amateur production, in which he was a bit wooden - but was he acting that?
Was he brought in as Solo to replace Harrison Ford due to his skill at playing bad actors?
Really great scene. Glad they don't ham it up too much. Hobie seems like he's genuinely trying so hard; he's not being played as an idiot, just somebody out of his element.
@@gregelchert752 yeah he knew right away to look at the extras. I like that they didn't make him an idiot, just out of his depth in certain situations
He is clearly uncomfortable and out of his element. In other scenes he's clearly a smart kid.
I really enjoy that they endear Hobie to the audience rather than him being just the butt of the joke. They establish well (especially through acting) that the director is incapable of actually providing direction to actors. Ralph plays it as hes giving simple corrections while heavily accenting the lines and getting mad at gestures he does himself. Its really the perfect example of a bad director meets a poor actor
@@rainy7106 The funny thing is that in his first delivery of the line it's clear that Hobie has no idea what the line means, due to his not being familiar with the upper-class British phrasing. If Laurentz had simply told him to say "I wish it was that simple", Hobie probably would have understood immediately.
@@rainy7106 Yes!!! it's the directors fault.. He's the butt of the joke, but so many people miss the point the coen brothers were trying to make.
Love how he gets mad at his gesture and slaps his hand down, but then gestures himself afterwards 😆
Definitely got a "Mr. Manager" from Arrested Development vibe haha
I think he's actually playing Joel Coen because they walk up to an actor who gets the line wrong
I like how they reduced it down to..."its complicated"....very underrated movie
And the funny thing is that it makes the scene a thousand times better. Hobie's laconic charm seems to actually work in this type of leading man role when he isn't being forced to struggle through tortured, overly-writerly dialogue.
@@RConnickJr The American Southern way of drawing out vowels isn't actually phonically very far off from upper-crust English...one might imagine (hatefully, I'm sure, to both parties involved) that there's a pretty close linguistic relationship..
@@n.w.1803 Good observation. From what I know, there is a connection. The upper-crust of the South considered themselves to be very much the sort of "cavalier" or a kind of feudal lord (which they were) and they were of English heritage - after all, the first colony established was in Virginia.
@@MichaelShook-x3p I read quite a bit of history & historical fiction, and one of the things that strikes is how language usage changes over time. In this case, I often see little things like "ain't" or "was you?" in speech from the British well-to-do, which would nowadays be quaint Southern-inflected Americanisms..
@@MichaelShook-x3p The modern British accent came to be in Great Britain after America was founded. The parts of America that took on aspects of that accent were generally port towns that had a lot of interaction with Great Britain (which is why New York, Boston, and Charleston accents all drop their rs, for instance).
Ralph Fiennes is one of the more underrated great actors ever
This is just not a political role, but one that shows pure and simple masterclass acting, hence it's pretty normal it gets overlooked nowadays (like the movie itself).
Is he, though? Underrated I mean. He's been twice nominated for an Academy Award and he won countless other awards.
No doubt
Really good in Grand Budapest Hotel
He's a highly-regarded, award-winning actor who's been both a leading man and a character actor for 3 decades. When you say "underrated", I don't know wtf you're talking about.
A good actor doing a great job of pretending to be a bad actor who wants to be a brilliant actor.
I've got faith in the guy for 'Solo' anyway, this film sold me.
Conor Doyle He’s not really pretending to be bad, the character just cannot do a Transatlantic accent properly because he’s supposed to be cast in westerns.
This aged well..
@@NoobZxReviewZ Solo had issues but I'll take it over Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker.
With a few changes you get a synopsis of FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS: Meryl Streep, a great singer, is great as a bad singer who desperately wants to be a brilliant one. Streep is a brilliant actress, so by the film’s end Jenkins is as endearing as she was amusing. But HC satirizes vintage Hollywood, where no one had a soul, so I can LOL without worrying about their humanity...
@@margaritam.9118 Yeah, even the character's not a bad actor, the director's a bad director (until they fix it, anyway)
"It's complicated"
It is complicated
This scene gets funnier and funnier every time I watch it.
Right?! That's the magic of the Cohen Bros. Films.
(mirthless chuckle)
It’s so funny they’re focusing on the “t’wuhhh” but he says “simple” super southern accented lmao
🤣 exactly
One of the best scenes/parts in this movie. I first saw Alden in Beautiful creatures and thought he had that 40's/50's hollywood beauty, like a Tony Curtis handsome and I like to think whoever casted him here saw the same, plus he can act. He's perfect for both Hobie facets.
Actually it's one of the few good scenes in the movie.

I love the actress's reaction the first time he attempts the line reading.
Emily Beecham as Deborah Kerr, or Greer Garson.
@@steveparadis2978Yes, She reminds me of Greer Garson and Moira Shearer.
Chewbacca: *NGRAAAWR*
Han Solo: Woodiditwer so simple.
😅😅
The actress not only acts, but she actually looks, quite exactly like she was from a picture shot in that era.
Emily Beecham.
The Coens cast DEEP.
And that gorgeous stunning green gown. You hardly ever see that color in films nowadays.
@@CasuallyObservant then you haven't watched many films
@@notprosperBEATS - why don't you share where else I may see this vivid color used?
@@CasuallyObservant la la land, the french dispatch, grand budapest hotel, in the mood for love, hero, the fall. it's very obvious you don't know a lot about movies with your comment 💀 you gotta experience and get your comfort zone without making these assumptions
This is an imperfect film with brilliant set pieces. This scene has the perfect rhythm, the perfect tempo, the perfect acting. Worthy of being studied, individually, in the best film schools. Even in their least successful films, the Cohen brothers show why they have earned their well-deserved reputation.
A concise scene from a movie that perfectly illustrates the"Old Hollywood System" that treated actors like cattle and controlled their careers.
This still cracks me up. It's quite a feat that Fiennes and Ehrenreich were able to keep straight faces while doing this. A testament to their great acting abilities, focus, and discipline. Bravo!
Best scene in the movie
The punchline is great later in the film: "it's complicated."
Both actors play superbly, that.s why the scene is timelessly funny
the irony of the line itself
"......c-cut" xD
Were you rushing or dragging?
haha wrong reference
Do *you* think you're out of tune?
Why do you suppose I just hurled a chair at your head, Neiman?
“Would that it were so simple” *trippingly*
“Would that it were so simple trippingly”
“Waitno-“
Rueful, rueful, rueful!
Greatest scene in the history of cinematography. A grandiose symphony of acting super talents fit into three minutes.
Funny scene, it gave me a Mirthless Chuckle
Funny....it made me feel rueful.
I love this scene. So simple.. yet so.. complicated.
How bout … closing the door, the foot squeaks echoing, the two shifts on the couch after sitting down … genius!
Emily Beecham nails this. Kudo's to the Cohen's for hiring her and for Ms. Beecham for playing it fully (she is no small actor!).
Would that it twuur so simple
Ralph Fiennes comic timing is perfection (see this,
In Bruges and Grand Budapest Hotel)
...and as Amon Goethe - "Who are you? Moses?!?"
The best part of this scene is that the eventual result, with Hobie's line changed to a simply "It's complicated" is so much better than the overwritten nonsense he was unable to deliver.
Would that. It were SOOO simple!
Would that it twere so simple
@@smokeymcgee7585 tweeeeeeereeee
*One of 2016's best film scenes*
Lord voldermort is teaching a young han solo
@Snaggle ToothedI heard they're hiring at
r/iamverysmart
Lord voldermort is teaching a young han solo how to be secret agent as 007 because Lord Voldermort is head of mi6
Amon Goeth
1:01 The director takes him aside because he's so desperate he does one of the cardinal sins of directing: giving his actor a line reading rather than inspiration for his performance.
A couple of stellar acting performances.
Actual footage from the set of Solo.
Doctor Grant not at all
Not the single bit true, but funny regardless.
"Would that going to the Dagobah System were so simple."
"Darth Vader's going to importune, Mr. Kenobi?"
@@SanggiChristianKim Do you not realize that is a joke?
@@robot-he6nq He might be an American.
This movie feels like a collection of moments.
It does, which is why I didn’t enjoy the movie so much, but love watching the individual scenes.
All of the Coen brothers movies are like that, especially the ballad of buster scruggs. Its literally 6 films in one
Sometimes that's ok. Full Metal Jacket is that kind of movie too.
Who was it said that a good movie is, "..maybe three good scenes and no bad ones"? Hitchcock? Truffaut, maybe..?
I have only seen this movie recently and this scene lives in my head, rent free.
My husband and I quote this daily 😂😂
I myself am making it a thing in our house.
OMG-I started laughing at this four years ago and never stopped...please send help...
I love how hard the character is trying
Ralph as laurence olivier. Simply great
Meisner would be so proud of this moment in cinematic history.
who?
I love this movie and I keep rewatching it - the ending might be anti-climactic, but there are so many funny bits throughout just like this scene - it never fails to crack me up.
Han Solo, the captan of the Millenium Falcon
2:30 I've had it Hobie. Avada Kedavra!!!!
I'd love to see Ralph Fiennes to star in another of Coen Brothers' picture.
I love how confused the subtitles are 😂
Would that it was disabled.
Ha i just read them...hilarious
Alden Ehrenreich is an underrated actor. More of his Han Solo please
This scene basically reinvents “Who’s on first.”
Han Solo and Voldemort having a conversation
I would have loved the movie was actually about these 2! The Cohens have a remarkable talent in making secondary characters the highlight of the movie (see - Buster Scruggs short).
*realizes the situation* "c-cCuT"
This movie deserves every bit of the cult status that The Big Lebowski enjoys.
It's complicated.
Lol that's right
I have a hard time pronouncing this actor’s name so I usually call him the ‘would that it were so simple’ guy! 😂
Whenever I feel depressed, I watch this clip. It makes me so happy: kindness, language, excellent acting, humanity...but hilarious!!
I could watch six-hour cut of this scene.
You have to be really good at anything to know how to act like your not.
Imagine this scene without editing. One shot would be possible?
Everyone was laughing too hard. They had to edit out the cast's laughing.. No one was able to stay quiet.
Eddi Haskell thats what I thought haha
Would that it twere so possible!!
Wouldn't work in one shot. The bit where Fiennes says "Watch my mouth" and then the camera cuts away DENYING the audience a view of his mouth conveys the impossibility of the task.
The way he says cut 😂
I still want to see Merrily We Dance!
And "Hail, Caesar"
This is by far the best scene in this underrated masterpiece!
It’s one of the better scenes of that decade.
Not their best movie but a legendary scene
mr lawrence.
Ladies and gentlemen, Han Solo!
"Would that goin' to the Dagobah System wer so simple"
"Darth Vader's goin' to importune, Mr. Kenobi?
Emily Beecham just won Best Actress at Cannes
I love how this movie makes the flow of time irrelevant.
He was filming a cowboy movie in Tucumcari, NM--(my home town!)--in the morning, then filming something completely different in Hollywood that same afternoon?!
How would that be so simple?
That was another picture. Hobie was probably at Lone Pine.
would that it twere that it was so simple.
It’s even more hilarious with the subtitles on.
If only the rest of the movie was as good as this scene.
RNKFanArt It is
Yeah as if.
Looks like someone hasn't seen The Ladykillers or Intolerable Cruelty.
I feel like you're just saying that to not contradict your previous statement. Because it's pretty hard to make that claim if you have seen them, even harder still to justify that stance. Especially The Ladykillers which is just a bad remake with no redeeming scenes. And Intolerable Cruelty was a project that even the Coen brothers didn't care much about.
would that 'eh twer so simple
I really want to see the outtakes for this scene 😆
I only wish the Cohen's would package and sell their outtakes. "A Serious Man," "O' Brother Where Art Thou," "Raising Arizona" . . . "Fargo". That would be some incredible video.
yeh do they exist?
@@bluebellbeatnik4945 I searched it on YT in the past but nada 🤷♀️
If you want someone speaking in Transatlantic accent, don’t hire a person who has only done westerns 😂
For sure.
“My dear boy, why do you say that”
"...very good...umm...Hobie, tell me something. Have you ever jacked in? Wire tripped?"
0:26 He adjusts his sitting 😂
It's not the twere that is the issue, it's the sample instead of simple.
At the end the scene's dialogue is change to the opposite fhrase " It's complicated "
In the cutting room, after the editor nearly chokes to death. Better line anyway--and Hobie gives it a good reading.
That despairing moment, knowing, you've been sold a pup!
“My dear boy.”
This movie is so underrated
To be fair that is damn near impossible to say 😂😂
Hmmm. Is it Mr Hassan..?
@@Johnconno actually I’m a woman, the name is male and female in arabic
I love that he's almost gagging saying "twuhhh"
1:30 - the actor is about to burst out laughing
I too have seen Biff's grip.
this movie is so underrated UGH
Goddamn it dude, It's wooddatter twerser simple
My favorite scene.
Would that it twuh so simple, TRIPingly
I've been searching for this darn movie forever!!! and the only line I could remember was "to twas" hahaha Thank you Google Bard for helping find this masterpiece.
My dear boy
that cowboy cleans up nice!
Best scene of the movie
20 people don't understand why saying "trippingly" at the end of the line is incorrect.
This is funny to regular folks.
But for people who work in the Biz, it’s HILARIOUS.
The thing that pisses off actors more than any other, is for someone to give them a LINE READING. It’s considered a cardinal sin. You can get kicked off a set by doing it.
Often Actors will screw up a joke, by not having the right inflection at the right point.
I was in a film… very low budget… and an Actor had the line “ It ain’t over , till the fat lady sings. “
We’ve all heard that, so we know how it is said. But this actor had never heard that expression before and COULD NOT say it correctly. The Director tried to help him. The Camera man said it too him. The script girl. The other actors. He could not say it correctly. It was insane! It took a half hour, and he still never got it. Finally they just moved on.
But if it hadn’t been a low budget film… that Actor would’ve stormed off the set and complained to his agent.
This was the best scene in the entire movie.
The meeting of religious leaders was also superb.
Mr Laurentz changing it to ”rueful” as if the word ”simple” was the problem lol 😂
I think Laurentz is providing guidance for how the line should be emotionally delivered, and not actually suggesting that the line be changed.
"Wood that twuuurr so simple" - not sure how anyone could possibly have any problems with that line
I’m convinced someone heard about this scene of Alden’s character needing coaching out of context, made some assumptions and started the rumor that he needed an acting coach for Solo
False
