A24 = original stories. Not remakes, sequels or recycled stories. They are bold. Even on their worst day I much rather watch one of their authentic new stories fail than to rehear/watch an altered recycled original. They are a fresh breath of air to cinema.

This is a perfect example of how you do a trailer. You’re not getting a synopsis or plot of the the entire movie, but it perfectly gives you a setting and a vibe. Such a good trailer!
Watched this at the movies last night. Epic. Hectic. My closest friend had life long mental health issues, and had the same underlying soft loving nature as Beau in this movie. I asked him once what it felt like to endure a psychotic episode, and he said that you absolutely can not distinguish the difference between a thought and something happening in real life. A couple of years ago, we went surfing together, I dropped him home afterwards and made plans to surf again the next day. But he woke up, took his board to the beach and walked up to the edge of a 100ft cliff and jumped off, beautiful sunny morning at 9am. The weight of what he carried around (and hid beautifully from most of the world) in the background of his mind was a war that was eventually to much to bare. There was so many moments in this film that reminded me of moments in time that I’d seen him travel through. Amazing movie that blurred the lines between the reality he encompassed and the torture of his anxieties.
And he said his friend jumped off of a cliff dude don't be a dick trying to correct grammar anybody that has any sense at all would know exactly what he was saying he was talking about him in the past tense like he's no longer around . Dam man some people are really questionable these days
My heart is with you. The same "background of her mind was a war war that was eventually to much to bare." Thanks for sharing your heart. You put in words that I could not explain. Pray for peace. Grief is.... I'm attending group. Please reach out. Sending you're a hug🤗
Ari Aster and Joaquin Phoenix sounded like a match made in heaven when Beau Is Afraid was first announced, now this looks like it will be one of the most bizarre, introspective, and comedically terrifying films in recent years and I couldn't be happier to welcome it with open arms.
Don't you find it weird to use such words to describe a film that isn't even out yet, based purely on it's trailer? Seems like I'm reading a review of a film that's already out, written by someone who's chronically on Letterboxd.
This tells quite a bit actually. I think anyone who's seen The Truman Show already knows a decent amount of the plot with this. With that said, clearly there is more too it, but the similarities were all given away in this 'trailer'. Given the length of the trailer it would appear the "Truman Show" style surprise for the main character takes up a decent portion of the run time. Who knows. Could be wrong but this trailer could be half as long as still be good.
Same here. And while there are a lot of foreign films that are a lot weirder than this looks to be, I am so happy that A24 is encouraging American filmmakers to be as weird as they want and pushing artfull, unique filmmaking into the mainstream
A24 is a low budget studio. They pick up scripts and directors that typically won’t get funded by major production companies(ie. Avant garde movie ideas) in an attempt to hopefully turn a massive profit on a movie that deviates from the mainstream(marvel, Disney bs). It’s a [potentially] higher risk for a higher reward scenario. It has nothing to do with ari aster getting popular, but A24 giving aspiring directors a chance from the beginning. Think blumhouse(another low budget production company) and their massive success and profits on the first paranormal activity. Most big budget companies wouldn’t have funded a venture such as PA, but look at the reward, almost 200 million pure profit.
@@jerkchickenblog Depends on what you mean by weird. Hereditary and Midsommar were great, but they were sold as horror films and were exactly that. I've got no idea what this is going to be. Obviously still going to see it though.
There are a lot of controversial opinions about this movie. It’s more metaphorical, it represents how to live with anxiety, basically a nightmare of a person with severe anxiety in absurd, black comedic portrayal. It’s also about relationships in your life and their importance ( parents, partners etc) and how parents can control you even as an adult, how they planted deep fears into us only to be hindered from reaching our full potential and joy. What it’s like not finding your place in society and feeling like an outcast, not fitting anywhere, but even if you have a chance to live a happy life and find your people, your inner fears, your traumas will come get you and draw you back to the source of every bad thing in your life, mind until you can’t escape and there’s no where to go. It’s about traumas, fears, anxiety and how they can decrease someone’s quality of life, determine their present and future and how you can be the prisoner of your own mind due to them.
@@brimstonesulfur5013 It's a different kind of plot but based on the same character, he wrote a full-length screenplay centered around him called Beau Is Afraid in 2014 and this is the adaptation of that. Screenplay's been floating around online for a while, it looks like they changed a LOT but I still recognize some key scenes. Based on this trailer, he's definitely taken some of it in a very different direction though, so I have no idea what to expect. Looks more uplifting than the script, but that may just be trailer editing.
A24 is easily in the top 3 production companies right now. Even their work that isn't as popularly recognized is all of a really high standard and most have their own cult followings. I always get a feeling like I'm in a fever dream watching A24 movies and it's rare that production companies can achieve that effect where you are enveloped in the story time after time 🙏
Aces + Facts,. 👏👏💯👏 Thus Far my Favourite Phoenix Films are the Master, Two Lovers, and You Were Never Really Here.. ...with Inherent Vice taking Honorable Mention..
Ever since I first saw him in Gladiator back in the day I knew the dude had a big future ahead of him. The guy really goes above an beyond for his role an does not feel like he's the 'same' person in every film that he's in.
I think on top of being a fantastic actor, he also just has REALLY good taste in film. He works on so many movies and the vast majority of them are also just fantastic artworks by themselves.
I came into the movie theater blind. I did not know what to expect with Ari Aster's new movie, but it's that level of uncertainty that drew me in even more. I left the theater in awe and somewhat gut-punched. I had to see this movie again! Already can't wait to get it to own on 4K blu ray!!!
Wait... you said you came into the theater blind. So, I have some questions... Later, you said you can't wait to see this movie again, and that you left the theater gut-punched. First of all, that's miraculous! This movie actually helped you to see again! We've got to get the word out. But as far as someone assaulting you in the theater... This is outrageous! Who would punch a blind person in a theater!?? Is that something blind people have to deal with regularly?? That's horrible! I mean here you are, (listening very intently to the movie), and probably running back and forth very quickly at the bottom of the screen reading the braille at the bottom, and someone comes along and sucker punches you? Is it because you also got popcorn and were maybe smearing butter across the screen? If so... how did you carry the bucket of popcorn with one hand and read braille with the other, and still have time to reach into the bucket to get some more popcorn? You must have missed a lot of the movie. Actually...If the movie had audio, why did you need to read the braille at the bottom? Is that because you were afraid you might miss something the actors said? Oh wait... I get it now. You must have bumped into another person who was blind as well when you were both going back and forth, and THEY gut punched you. I dunno... maybe I'm just blind, but I don't see it.
Ari is trying to hard to be wacky and quirky and has made a incoherent surreal mess. Wes anderson wannabe. I have seen this type of movie a lot in the last ten years sir so, and i can’t believe Ari has stooped to making an inferior copy of movies that came before in this style. What a mess of a film. infuriating watch. Never again. He should stick to his brand of horror. he’s awful at this
@@paulwoodford1984just finished… I’m not sure if I’m mad or not lol I truly think Hereditary is masterful horror but this just seemed overindulgent without much payoff
Thanks Ari Aster for keeping the art of cinema alive and thanks Joaquin Phoenix for sculpting these characters with your unique talent. All the waiting has been worth it, this movie looks mind blowing.
This could be a new example of “psychological horror “ we need more filmmakers like Ari , we need people that push the limits of a preexisting art to something new ❤
@@maxineheadroom it looks like something that don’t pretend to scare the audience with stupid jumpscares or gore stuff, it’s a movie about Fear but not a “scary movie “ and the comic side balance it … in my opinion it looks like a polished,elegant version of Raimi’s Evil dead in terms of contrasting feelings 🤔
I saw Beau is afraid yesterday, honestly I don't regret the 3 hours I spent watching this, one thing is certain whether like it or not, you will never forget this movie.
It's somewhat fascinating how your comment (Melissa) provides an intelligently balanced take... only to be followed by two radical takes from both sides of the coin. Honestly, Melissa, I wish more people were like you and could express their opinion truthfully without blatantly insulting the opposite thing.
This is what I want to see above all else when it comes to movies. Something from a filmmaker who has a vision and wants to slap me across the face with it. Repeatedly.
@@CalebBerman What? you didn't chose your religion it was force to you by your parent when you where kid... You never realized that the church and your parents indoctrinated you, and you did the same with your children if you had any. So this was all a well-crafted lie. Admit your prayers never been answered... Never! Have a nice day my friend!
The fact that you think what you saw is funny and I am having flashbacks of dreams that only Freud and my therapist might understand only proves Ari Aster's brilliance.
@@FF-oo8nz Some of horror's best filmmakers (Bob Clark, Eli Roth, Sam Raimi, Peele, del Toro, etc) have all definitely had some time in the sun with comedy; they generally go together really well. Stoked to see how Aster does it!
I don't think they have a problem giving freedom. It's all about the money and profit these kinds of movies don't make since people are so conditioned to mainstream recycled ideas and sequels. But kudos to A24 ,they got Ari Aster's back and he continues to deliver new experiences for us.
I can't tell if I'm gonna find this movie to be more terrifying, or hysterical... and that has me so excited. Ari sure is talented filmmaker. I'm glad he's switching up his style. Almost feels like this film was made for Joaquin, it's his style of weird/funny/tragic.
I think we all know what is going to happen. At least I know. The music...it really gives you a false hope of cheerines haha. Nope. I think midsomnar scarred me enough.
Really grateful for all movies released by A24 and the support they give to innovative, talented directors with original ideas. It is refreshing to see that in the industry.
Agreed A24 is the first production company I actually bothered to remember. I trust their taste and I'll watch anything they put out. So far the only dud, imo, was Green Knight, and that's just a dud on the A24 scale, meaning it was still pretty decent. And plot aside, had amazing cinematography.
This feels like what my grandmother went through in the last few years of her life. All she wanted was to get home (even though she was home). Dementia’s not pretty 😔
I understand why people dislike this film, but it is one of my new favorite films, which I almost never say about a film I've only just seen. It officially blew my mind.
I had the pleasure of working with Joaquin as an actor in Hollywood before he was famous, and he hasn' t changed a bit. He's still the same shy, modest kid he always was. And hugely talented. A million best wishes, Joaquin..
@ln+3rna1hàbän3r0s nah. A24 are an independent entertainment company based in NYC, so they're currently free from Hollywood's shackles. I have this awful feeling some giant Hollywood company will try and acquire them soon though because they keep throwing out banging films.
@@whiskii oh I see. So people running independent films aren't there to make money and appeal to the masses, right? They're entirely different people with pure motivations?
I laughed. I cried. I was anxious. I was taken on a journey and felt things. This is what cinema is about. Thank you Ari Aster for making an entertaining movie for YOUR fans. This is definately not a movie for normies or people that go to movies to see the same hum-drum and archetypes you see in every movie.
It really warms my heart to see A24 carve out their little niche and find so much success. This is what I loved about movies. It doesn't have to be one or the other. I want to watch big, dumb superhero popcorn flicks AND be blown away by stuff like this.
Perfectly said. I want to have fun watching the big blockbusters like Top Gun or The Avengers, and still be moved or provoked by watching something like this, Hereditary, or EEAAO
@@vincenthalfprice9930 More like Top Gun & Banshees of Inisherin. EEAAO was not thought provoking. I haven’t spent one second thinking about that movie since it ended.
I love how Ari Aster’s third film feels so completely different than his first two films. This looks like such a fresh horror movie. Also, I don’t know if that is just a kid or really Joaquin Phoenix as the kid but they look SO SIMILAR HOLY CRAP!
This movie is a great example of “art disturbs the comfortable and comforts the disturbed”. If you’re a person with anxiety and/or enjoy dark depressing humor, you’ll probably enjoy this fever dream of a journey.
I was howling laughing through most of this film. My wife was sat with mouth agape. Every now and then I looked over to check in, chuckle, and give her a reassuring pat on the leg because I had nothing to say. If Joaquin doesn't get the Oscar for this, then the Oscars are pointless.
@@AZITHEMLGPRO EEAAO, Banshees of Inisherin, Tár, Barbarian, Pearl, Triangle of Sadness, RRR, The Fablemans, Speak No Evil, Top Gun: Maverick, Nope, The Northman, and so many more. This was a historic year!
The biggest thing about Joaquin's movies is that viscerally you feel that each character he plays is simply a true expression or extension of himself. It's a bit sad to me but I thank him in the long run for his thespian talent and the sacrifices he has made for all of us.
I love the detail that the trailer begins in a dark way. Almost like Ari Aster telling you "See? I'm the director of Hereditary" But then things turn into some kind of crazy adventure through the mind of a protagonist with certain mental problems.
It's making me immediately get the vibe of a struggle with mental health as one of the overall metaphors. Very excited for this, I love Joaquin in pretty much everything he's in
Seeing this in theaters last week blew me away. It definitely has it's flaws but it's such an experience you can't afford to miss it. The opening half hour was some of the funniest cinema I've watched in a very long time and the rest is just crazy, mostly in a good way!
This looks like a positively gorgeous insane combination of horror humor heart and an utterly bonkers tornado of weirdness. Ari just keeps getting better and better
He who just even attempts great films, is to be given some type of automatic respect. I oft times fear we have achieved our zenith in some of our art forms.
I love A24 movies. They're pure artistic expression. Thank The All for the boldness of Ari Aster. The All delivers and Ari goes to work. He don't give a crap what anybody thinks about his stories.
Just sad knowing what will happen to them when they start making more money. WB used to be the A24 of the 70's, look what they've become now. That's Hollywood for ya
Repent to Jesus Christ ““Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV h
I saw film screening Beau is afraid in IMAX in Manhattan Ari Aster was interviewed by Martin Scorsese after the screening. I will let you know that if you’re battling codependency, this is a great movie for you to see. The main character of Beau battles a lifetime of codependency brought on by his mother, not allowing him to have autonomy in his formative years. He goes on to question all his decisions and abdicate his decision, making to others rendering him as someone who is lost in chaos, castrated by his mothers inability to allow him to choose. he ends up becoming a hypochondriac, unable to feel safe in making choices for himself. Even after his mothers, death beau still continues to drown in his own guilt brought on by his mothers constant reminders that he did not love her enough the way she needed to be loved. This movie drives the point home that for codependent person to learn to be independent, They must take the control of their decisions, cut the chains that bind them to their past and choose life decisions for themselves or die along with their codependent counterpart
the movie wasn't so simple. Beau was a victim of his smothering and jealous mother but he was also so unresponsive. He had to learn to act out what he wants or at least explain himself better. He was guilty of what he was judged for even though the judgement ignored the defense of his position... I guess saying that in the end it doesn't matter if others 'made' you the way you are. You have to seek the solution yourself. His psychiatrist didn't help. Nobody helped... not even Beau.
I really really want to sound serious with this question but the context of the scene completely nullifies all seriousness, could you please explain your view on the giant p*nis that was supposedly Beau’s dad?? I could put everything together on my own and I truly enjoyed this movie, it became one of my favorites so far! But Im trying to come up with what could that mean…
That part was probably the most obvious symbolism to me lol. His father was a giant dick, as in, he was a monster himself, like how people would describe shitty fathers as being a dick, but in this context, it’s very literal lol.
I have a weird feeling this is going to be a combination of The Truman Show & Misery on steroids. Ari Aster’s first two were nothing short of masterpieces. This will eclipse both. I’m so excited for this movie and I’ve been waiting for this trailer for almost two years now. LFG Beau!
@Scott Alleman it doesn’t at all in my opinion. more like a fever dream. plus i don’t think that ari aster is gonna really give us much through his trailer, we’ll just have to wait and see :)
This movie is a modern day classic. Ari aster is a genius. As far as creativity I’ve never seen a movie like this before. The scene where Elaine kisses beau an the mothers like “what is this” I never laughed so hard in my life
The folklore that always gives birth to Ari's ideas are just as fascinating as his story telling and cinematic immersion. Add A24 to the mix and this will be epic
@Jason Delvaux This movie puts the psychological in psychological horror. Like I genuinely think it's the poster child of what that genre is about (which is often mislabeled or misunderstood)
Yes! I finally felt seen after years of struggling with anxiety. To have Ari portray it on the big screen so accurately hyperbolized it’s so brillliant
Hayward is one of the myriad of reasons why people with anxiety actually have anxiety. They don't know how to live in a world where their narcissistic behaviors aren't front and center, everyone else, or kindness be damned.
Just watched this movie. And oh my fucking god. There are no words. That was one of the craziest fever-dream odyssey style movies I’ve ever seen. Ari Aster absolutely broke out of the style of Hereditary and midsommar. This was its own monster. It had parts that were extremely anxiety provoking, or were hilarious, boring or extremely intriguing. It was almost painful to watch, but afterwards i can’t stop thinking about it (in a good way). I am very impressed.
@@Jpro2000 Definitely too long yeah, after watching it I'm not sure if I hated it or if I loved it. What I'm sure about is that I'm not gonna watch it a 2nd time anytime soon and that I'm relieved it's finaaaaally over
@@harry1178 I don’t think his mommy issues are as bad as everyone thinks. But I wouldn’t know. I just believe he’s referencing other stories biblical, etc
This is the most insane movie trailer I’ve ever seen, I couldn’t keep up with it for a second and I have no clue what the movie will even be about. I love it.
It's not that crazy... Beau is a character who exaggerates everything in negativity - he is scared of everything and has a lot of imaginary bad things happen. A guy standing in the street will look like a gun crazed criminal to Beau.
An unforgettable evening, 'Crime of the Century Tour.' They evoked all the craftsmanship of the album with eloquent elegance... When people used their seats and listened.
Hereditary and Midsommar are my favorite horror/thriller type movies, I’m so stoked for this movie. Ari Aster is awesome, and I can’t wait to see what he delivers with this film!
I was in highschool when A24 started making movies and I felt like such a cool film nerd because I could recommend all the new movies to my friends and we were all equally blown away. I stopped keeping up with them a while ago just because I got away from movies, but this makes me as excited to see this as their earlier stuff did! Looks absolutely fantastic, love the style, what it might be about, and I love Joaquin Phoenix so I’ll definitely see this one!
@randomvideoboy1Because they outperform every other studio 90% of the time, and they actually have originality. Other studios like Disney are a disgrace to the art of movies right now
this trailer is one of the best ever made, it got me so hyped without giving anything away. i saw the movie on its preview night last thursday and it did not disappoint! it's now in my top 5 of all movies i've seen in the past year.

The people that has been following ari's career knows that this tráiler has a lot of references of his earliest works and it makes me so exited bc you can see that this movie is probably one of his most personal works yet.
They have over 50 movies (made by them), a company that started out in 2012 by distributing independent movies, now they’ve brought us masterpieces like “Midsommar”, “The Lighthouse”, “Men”, “Hereditary”, “It Comes At Night”, “Ex Machina” and “Everything Everywhere All At Once”, i love A24, i hope they’ll get the recognition that they truly deserve.
@Milli I think they're in New York, not Hollywood. Probably why they release actual good, unique movies that aren't just remakes and female reboots like Hollywood thinks we want. I'm so glad we have a western publisher that loves the art again and escapes those tropes.
This is probably my favorite movie right now. It was entirely overwhelming from start to finish and incredibly funny. Whether you love it or hate it you'll never forget it.
After the success of “Everything, Everywhere, All At Once”, I wouldn’t be surprised to see “Beau Is Afraid” reach that summit, especially with Joaquin Phoenix starring in a wacky, self-imploding, & an artistic motion picture masterpiece with Ari Aster to direct!
@C.A. Green Well definitely Everything, Everywhere. The Darren Aronofsky film "Mother!" is absolutely nuts, but tonally very serious and dark, also "I'm thinking of ending things" is pretty out there and existential. "Birdman" is another one. There's probably more. It's not a trend as ubiquitous as Superhero movies, but there's still good, wacky, existential auteur cinema out there
@@danculbert6349 yes all good examples. And maybe it’s better that way, otherwise we’d get a whole slew of new slick and artistic movies just for the sake of being authentic.
I think this is gonna be a lot scarier than the trailer is making it out to be... but I also wonder if this film is gonna have a more optimistic ending, or at least not be a straight up horror film
I agree. I think it will have many unsettling elements but the abstract nature of the film will disconnect us from the horror (at least that's how I interpreted the horror in the trailer).
Not exactly sure what this is about, but the trailer here filled me with a sense of existential dread and terror. While it's clearly visually bright and happy in a lot of ways, it's suffocatingly creepy, in an effective way. I got the impression that this is a film about anxiety, and the ever-present threat of terrible things happening if you ever dare take any risk or step outside.
I got that. Overcoming extreme anxiety, depression and threat in a Asters version of Odyssey. This film will blow us away for sure and I am all for it!
It’s not just the fear of bad things happening, it’s those literal fears come to life. If you have existential dread from the trailer, I don’t think you should watch it. It’s extremely intense and hard to watch. It’s if everything you could ever fear to go wrong does. And, while that’s happening, someone is yelling that you suck.
It really shows that if you trust that the audience is smart enough to understand and appreciate weird movies. It pays off. A24 is really a breath of fresh air in cinema
@@alec57 The 70s were among the most experimental in American film, with many new filmmakers and actors hitting the mainstream, risky investments like Star Wars and Jaws paying off and then some, and new precedents & standards being established.
I need a remixed version of Goodbye Stranger (Supertamp) in my life right now. Since watching this trailer I've been listening to the song on loop. I'm so hyped for this movie. Thank you A24 for reigniting my movie passions! x
I’ve already seen this trailer a thousand times, and it still looks amazing. And I’m also glad that Goodbye Stranger (by Supertramp) is being recognized. Thanks Ari 😊

Same here. And while there are a lot of foreign films that are a lot weirder than this looks to be, I am so happy that A24 is encouraging American filmmakers to be as weird as they want and pushing artfull, unique filmmaking into the mainstream
I love when a good director gets popular enough that they're allowed to be weird.
midsommar and hereditary were already weird, in a good way.
A24 is a low budget studio. They pick up scripts and directors that typically won’t get funded by major production companies(ie. Avant garde movie ideas) in an attempt to hopefully turn a massive profit on a movie that deviates from the mainstream(marvel, Disney bs). It’s a [potentially] higher risk for a higher reward scenario. It has nothing to do with ari aster getting popular, but A24 giving aspiring directors a chance from the beginning. Think blumhouse(another low budget production company) and their massive success and profits on the first paranormal activity. Most big budget companies wouldn’t have funded a venture such as PA, but look at the reward, almost 200 million pure profit.
when was aster not weird?
@@jerkchickenblog Depends on what you mean by weird. Hereditary and Midsommar were great, but they were sold as horror films and were exactly that. I've got no idea what this is going to be. Obviously still going to see it though.
Aster is definitely next level and one of the finest new gen directors. Robert Eggers is another. Born in the 80's!
There are a lot of controversial opinions about this movie. It’s more metaphorical, it represents how to live with anxiety, basically a nightmare of a person with severe anxiety in absurd, black comedic portrayal.
It’s also about relationships in your life and their importance ( parents, partners etc) and how parents can control you even as an adult, how they planted deep fears into us only to be hindered from reaching our full potential and joy. What it’s like not finding your place in society and feeling like an outcast, not fitting anywhere, but even if you have a chance to live a happy life and find your people, your inner fears, your traumas will come get you and draw you back to the source of every bad thing in your life, mind until you can’t escape and there’s no where to go.
It’s about traumas, fears, anxiety and how they can decrease someone’s quality of life, determine their present and future and how you can be the prisoner of your own mind due to them.
beautiful put
wait you’re serious huh????
It's psychosis! Paranoia.
It's about having a crazy mother and how having to take drugs to deal with the violent world.
One of the best and eloquent ways of summarizing the theme of the movies in ways I couldn't. Well done!
You know a movie will be good when the preview does not spoil and leaves you wanting to discover what Beau is afraid of. Bravo
Even more strange is that the short Ari made in 2011 Beau shares some elements but is clearly a different kind of plot entirely
@@brimstonesulfur5013 It's a different kind of plot but based on the same character, he wrote a full-length screenplay centered around him called Beau Is Afraid in 2014 and this is the adaptation of that. Screenplay's been floating around online for a while, it looks like they changed a LOT but I still recognize some key scenes. Based on this trailer, he's definitely taken some of it in a very different direction though, so I have no idea what to expect. Looks more uplifting than the script, but that may just be trailer editing.
Or maybe it’s 3 hours long
@@brimstonesulfur5013 where can i watch the 2011 short?
I can’t wait for the part where he says “I’m beau is afraid.”
A24 is easily in the top 3 production companies right now. Even their work that isn't as popularly recognized is all of a really high standard and most have their own cult followings. I always get a feeling like I'm in a fever dream watching A24 movies and it's rare that production companies can achieve that effect where you are enveloped in the story time after time 🙏

Joaquin Phoenix is one of those rare actors who whenever I see that he's involved in a project I have to watch it. Such a tremendously gifted actor.
Aces + Facts,. 👏👏💯👏
Thus Far my Favourite Phoenix Films are the Master, Two Lovers, and You Were Never Really Here..
...with Inherent Vice taking Honorable Mention..
Ever since I first saw him in Gladiator back in the day I knew the dude had a big future ahead of him. The guy really goes above an beyond for his role an does not feel like he's the 'same' person in every film that he's in.
I think on top of being a fantastic actor, he also just has REALLY good taste in film. He works on so many movies and the vast majority of them are also just fantastic artworks by themselves.
his brother would be so proud 💗

I came into the movie theater blind. I did not know what to expect with Ari Aster's new movie, but it's that level of uncertainty that drew me in even more. I left the theater in awe and somewhat gut-punched. I had to see this movie again! Already can't wait to get it to own on 4K blu ray!!!
Wait... you said you came into the theater blind. So, I have some questions...
Later, you said you can't wait to see this movie again, and that you left the theater gut-punched. First of all, that's miraculous! This movie actually helped you to see again! We've got to get the word out.
But as far as someone assaulting you in the theater...
This is outrageous! Who would punch a blind person in a theater!?? Is that something blind people have to deal with regularly?? That's horrible!
I mean here you are, (listening very intently to the movie), and probably running back and forth very quickly at the bottom of the screen reading the braille at the bottom, and someone comes along and sucker punches you? Is it because you also got popcorn and were maybe smearing butter across the screen? If so... how did you carry the bucket of popcorn with one hand and read braille with the other, and still have time to reach into the bucket to get some more popcorn? You must have missed a lot of the movie.
Actually...If the movie had audio, why did you need to read the braille at the bottom? Is that because you were afraid you might miss something the actors said? Oh wait... I get it now.
You must have bumped into another person who was blind as well when you were both going back and forth, and THEY gut punched you.
I dunno... maybe I'm just blind, but I don't see it.

I don't think they have a problem giving freedom. It's all about the money and profit these kinds of movies don't make since people are so conditioned to mainstream recycled ideas and sequels. But kudos to A24 ,they got Ari Aster's back and he continues to deliver new experiences for us.
Omg me too! I never thought of it that way but it’s true, A24 made me EXCITED for movies again, they just scratch that part of my brain
I can't tell if I'm gonna find this movie to be more terrifying, or hysterical... and that has me so excited. Ari sure is talented filmmaker. I'm glad he's switching up his style. Almost feels like this film was made for Joaquin, it's his style of weird/funny/tragic.

Really grateful for all movies released by A24 and the support they give to innovative, talented directors with original ideas. It is refreshing to see that in the industry.
Agreed A24 is the first production company I actually bothered to remember. I trust their taste and I'll watch anything they put out. So far the only dud, imo, was Green Knight, and that's just a dud on the A24 scale, meaning it was still pretty decent. And plot aside, had amazing cinematography.
This feels like what my grandmother went through in the last few years of her life. All she wanted was to get home (even though she was home). Dementia’s not pretty 😔
Terrifying
I understand why people dislike this film, but it is one of my new favorite films, which I almost never say about a film I've only just seen. It officially blew my mind.
I had the pleasure of working with Joaquin as an actor in Hollywood before he was famous, and he hasn' t changed a bit. He's still the same shy, modest kid he always was. And hugely talented. A million best wishes, Joaquin..
Joaquin is a throwback to actors from the past like Brando, who have a thrilling reality about them. You seldom see this in Hollywood anymore..
Are you afraid, Beau?
@Bill, No, not yet.. I think the film will do well, as Joaquin is a remarkable actor. He's very rare in modern day Hollywood.

@@erinburke9711 especially him watching a play of himself as himself?
I get Kaufman’s most recent work from this, but my first thought was Being There but by Terry Gilliam
My thoughts exactly. It made me think of Synecdoche, New York for some reason.
Even an Aster trailer has more love, art and awesomeness packed into it than 97% of what comes out of Hollywood these days.
This is a Hollywood film, isn't it?
@ln+3rna1hàbän3r0s nah. A24 are an independent entertainment company based in NYC, so they're currently free from Hollywood's shackles. I have this awful feeling some giant Hollywood company will try and acquire them soon though because they keep throwing out banging films.

This is definately not a movie for normies or people that go to movies to see the same hum-drum and archetypes you see in every movie.

The biggest thing about Joaquin's movies is that viscerally you feel that each character he plays is simply a true expression or extension of himself. It's a bit sad to me but I thank him in the long run for his thespian talent and the sacrifices he has made for all of us.

@ClassicFilm Collector88 you mean 3?
I saw film screening Beau is afraid in IMAX in Manhattan Ari Aster was interviewed by Martin Scorsese after the screening. I will let you know that if you’re battling codependency, this is a great movie for you to see. The main character of Beau battles a lifetime of codependency brought on by his mother, not allowing him to have autonomy in his formative years. He goes on to question all his decisions and abdicate his decision, making to others rendering him as someone who is lost in chaos, castrated by his mothers inability to allow him to choose. he ends up becoming a hypochondriac, unable to feel safe in making choices for himself. Even after his mothers, death beau still continues to drown in his own guilt brought on by his mothers constant reminders that he did not love her enough the way she needed to be loved. This movie drives the point home that for codependent person to learn to be independent, They must take the control of their decisions, cut the chains that bind them to their past and choose life decisions for themselves or die along with their codependent counterpart
Fantastic analysis! I agree. The ending really hit home for me. No one can help you out of this but you.
the movie wasn't so simple. Beau was a victim of his smothering and jealous mother but he was also so unresponsive. He had to learn to act out what he wants or at least explain himself better. He was guilty of what he was judged for even though the judgement ignored the defense of his position... I guess saying that in the end it doesn't matter if others 'made' you the way you are. You have to seek the solution yourself.
His psychiatrist didn't help. Nobody helped... not even Beau.
Phenomenal explanation
I really really want to sound serious with this question but the context of the scene completely nullifies all seriousness, could you please explain your view on the giant p*nis that was supposedly Beau’s dad??
I could put everything together on my own and I truly enjoyed this movie, it became one of my favorites so far! But Im trying to come up with what could that mean…
That part was probably the most obvious symbolism to me lol. His father was a giant dick, as in, he was a monster himself, like how people would describe shitty fathers as being a dick, but in this context, it’s very literal lol.
I have a weird feeling this is going to be a combination of The Truman Show & Misery on steroids. Ari Aster’s first two were nothing short of masterpieces. This will eclipse both. I’m so excited for this movie and I’ve been waiting for this trailer for almost two years now. LFG Beau!
@Scott Alleman nah it's a totally different revelation man. I read the script that leaked and this is probably his most ambitious and exception story

Just watched this movie. And oh my fucking god. There are no words. That was one of the craziest fever-dream odyssey style movies I’ve ever seen.

It had parts that were extremely anxiety provoking, or were hilarious, boring or extremely intriguing. It was almost painful to watch, but afterwards i can’t stop thinking about it (in a good way). I am very impressed.
Read the 1990s comic Eightball. Aster said it was an influence. The 8-ball story in particular would be Like A Velvet Glove Cast In Iron.

@@WaxYourButt the song is Goodbye Stranger
An unforgettable evening, 'Crime of the Century Tour.' They evoked all the craftsmanship of the album with eloquent elegance... When people used their seats and listened.
This film is an instant classic. Thank you Ari Aster for being so inventive and symbolic with your messaging. This film was incredibly original.
Hereditary and Midsommar are my favorite horror/thriller type movies, I’m so stoked for this movie. Ari Aster is awesome, and I can’t wait to see what he delivers with this film!
I love when a trailer leaves me confused and intrigued at the same time. Can’t wait to watch!
I was in highschool when A24 started making movies and I felt like such a cool film nerd because I could recommend all the new movies to my friends and we were all equally blown away. I stopped keeping up with them a while ago just because I got away from movies, but this makes me as excited to see this as their earlier stuff did! Looks absolutely fantastic, love the style, what it might be about, and I love Joaquin Phoenix so I’ll definitely see this one!
They don't make movies, but they do pick them. Not a perfect catalog, but definitely has a good library of unforgettable artistic films nonetheless.
a24 is my favorite director too!!!!????!
@randomvideoboy1 It's almost like the really good ones are why they're so highly praised.
You need to come back to movies. Especially for Jesse eisenburgs A24 movie
@randomvideoboy1Because they outperform every other studio 90% of the time, and they actually have originality. Other studios like Disney are a disgrace to the art of movies right now
this trailer is one of the best ever made, it got me so hyped without giving anything away. i saw the movie on its preview night last thursday and it did not disappoint! it's now in my top 5 of all movies i've seen in the past year.
And which are 4 others?
Ari is one of the best filmmakers to come up over the past 10 years, so hyped for another amazing movie from him👍
did u see the debut of Brandon Cronenberg? Possessor?
I feel it's definitely a film filled with thought provoking metaphors. Very excited to see this.
A Rarity these days..
@@drumbum3.142 A24 movies are basically all that, can’t say it’s rare, same goes to “A24 vibes”
@@angelotrinidad6888 lol you want some metaphors? go watch A24's movie Men lmao
@@angelotrinidad6888
Well. Perhaps I Should be More Specific..
Save for maybe, Three, A24 Stuff (on the market) Thus Far.. Intelligence (which would include stuff like meadowfors) (with)in A24 Stuff is to be Expected,. Because of Their (Usually) High Calibre.
In (Mny) Other Production Companies of Films though; it IS Rare.. ... Just Not Comprehensively Actoss Studio Boards..
@drumbum3.14 not true, u just don't be watching the same movies fr
The people that has been following ari's career knows that this tráiler has a lot of references of his earliest works and it makes me so exited bc you can see that this movie is probably one of his most personal works yet.
Indeed, a tráiler. Or a træíleur as they say on the Continent.
Like his mommy/daddy issues?

sad this didin't have an oscar nomination, one of the best 2023 movies
Love how this looks very different in tone from Midsommar and Hereditary yet you still feel uneasy in typical Aster fashion. So stocked for this !
See how you are enslaved 👉 The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 💖
This seems like Ari's most personal film yet, and I'm here for it!! This looks like a wild ride.
They have over 50 movies (made by them), a company that started out in 2012 by distributing independent movies, now they’ve brought us masterpieces like “Midsommar”, “The Lighthouse”, “Men”, “Hereditary”, “It Comes At Night”, “Ex Machina” and “Everything Everywhere All At Once”, i love A24, i hope they’ll get the recognition that they truly deserve.
@beepboop i’m sorry if i got that wrong, i first got into A24 back in 2018, i’m not a know it all..
Knew they would be a hit the second I saw Spring Breakers, their 3rd film!
Dude they’ve won many awards already and is a power house in Hollywood.
They're the Miramax of the 21st century
@Milli I think they're in New York, not Hollywood. Probably why they release actual good, unique movies that aren't just remakes and female reboots like Hollywood thinks we want. I'm so glad we have a western publisher that loves the art again and escapes those tropes.
This is probably my favorite movie right now. It was entirely overwhelming from start to finish and incredibly funny. Whether you love it or hate it you'll never forget it.
Thats exactly what films should be !
Better than boring cookie cutter films weve seen 100 times before
The colour palette, cinematography and editing made this trailer feel like a dream

After the success of “Everything, Everywhere, All At Once”, I wouldn’t be surprised to see “Beau Is Afraid” reach that summit, especially with Joaquin Phoenix starring in a wacky, self-imploding, & an artistic motion picture masterpiece with Ari Aster to direct!
I really hope this starts a new trend
@@the_wonderingjew The trend started years ago
Haven't you ever seen Being John Malkovich or Eternal Sunshine or Synecdoche New York?
@@danculbert6349 true. Those are all FANTASTIC. But the most recent is 15 years ago. What do ya got more recent than that?
@C.A. Green Well definitely Everything, Everywhere. The Darren Aronofsky film "Mother!" is absolutely nuts, but tonally very serious and dark, also "I'm thinking of ending things" is pretty out there and existential. "Birdman" is another one. There's probably more. It's not a trend as ubiquitous as Superhero movies, but there's still good, wacky, existential auteur cinema out there
@@danculbert6349 yes all good examples. And maybe it’s better that way, otherwise we’d get a whole slew of new slick and artistic movies just for the sake of being authentic.
I can't even put into words how excited I am for this masterpiece to be released.
man saying masterpiece after this😭
Calm down lmao
Lol y'all need to chill you haven't seen it yet. Don't say "masterpiece"

Ur being sarcastic right?
This movie is like a straight up fever dream the whole time. Just pure insanity and I loved every single minute. Just go watch it.
this style of film making is so boring now. it’s a dime a dozen
I think this is gonna be a lot scarier than the trailer is making it out to be... but I also wonder if this film is gonna have a more optimistic ending, or at least not be a straight up horror film
Based on the leaked script it's not super terrifying, it's more of a dark comedy with horror elements for sure.
I agree. I think it will have many unsettling elements but the abstract nature of the film will disconnect us from the horror (at least that's how I interpreted the horror in the trailer).
@@IsThisMi Where's the leaked script? Can't seem to find a good community/place for these.
@@johnniewolf133 Why would you even want that?
@@marekstruhar5574 voyeur urge
I personally would like to thank A24 for introducing me to this amazing song I never knew existed.
Goodbye Stranger - Supertramp
Even for Ari Aster this looks completely insane. Can't wait.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's nest meets Jacob's Ladder, yet with so many more levels. It's perhaps close to one of the most amazing films I've seen.
Not exactly sure what this is about, but the trailer here filled me with a sense of existential dread and terror. While it's clearly visually bright and happy in a lot of ways, it's suffocatingly creepy, in an effective way. I got the impression that this is a film about anxiety, and the ever-present threat of terrible things happening if you ever dare take any risk or step outside.
I got that. Overcoming extreme anxiety, depression and threat in a Asters version of Odyssey. This film will blow us away for sure and I am all for it!
I agree -
It’s not just the fear of bad things happening, it’s those literal fears come to life.
If you have existential dread from the trailer, I don’t think you should watch it. It’s extremely intense and hard to watch. It’s if everything you could ever fear to go wrong does. And, while that’s happening, someone is yelling that you suck.
ngl ive watched this trailer like 10 times and it never fails to give me chills. this is the most hyped for a film i’ve been in a second.
Same boat literally
Me too! I’m so excited.
Thems rookie numbers
1:44 I know.
Idk if this is a horror movie or a comedy or an action movie or something idkkkk
A24 - bringing movies back to the theater that have more than superheros from comic books in them. It feels like the 1970s again. Good job.
It really shows that if you trust that the audience is smart enough to understand and appreciate weird movies. It pays off. A24 is really a breath of fresh air in cinema
if you like sci-fi, look up Oats Studios
Lmao 1970's
@@alec57 The 70s were among the most experimental in American film, with many new filmmakers and actors hitting the mainstream, risky investments like Star Wars and Jaws paying off and then some, and new precedents & standards being established.
@@SnarkyMcCarthy Great. That's not why I laughed.
The most ambitious and challenging film of the year. I loved it. Let Ali Aster make more movies. And Joaquin's performance was phenomenal.
It’s good to see Nathan Lane acting again. Can’t wait to see this in the theater.
He never stopped.
I need a remixed version of Goodbye Stranger (Supertamp) in my life right now. Since watching this trailer I've been listening to the song on loop. I'm so hyped for this movie. Thank you A24 for reigniting my movie passions! x
Omg thank you, never heard this song before, def a cool song and remix!
Man A24 is one wild film studio. Their stuff never disappoints !!!
The kid playing little Joaquin phoenix is insanely well-cast
I’ve already seen this trailer a thousand times, and it still looks amazing. And I’m also glad that Goodbye Stranger (by Supertramp) is being recognized. Thanks Ari 😊
Yeah finally some good recognition for supertramp !
Paul Thomas Anderson's "Magnolia"
ah, a fellow Supertramp enjoyer 🤝
Michael Scott, singing to Toby the Evil Snail: *Am I a joke to you?*
Noteworthy in that song is the epic guitar solo near the end.
I’ve been obsessed with Goodbye Stranger all last year and hearing it in this trailer is like surreal and gave me goosebumps, will watch this for sure
ME TOO! I feel like they used this song in a weird way that just works, which I think fits with the movie
Do u know what version of the song this is? Thank you :)
Probably made specifically for the trailer/movie
Probably made specifically for the trailer/movie
@@menamesavage7605 just listen to the original, it’s amazing. Listen all the way to the end. The solo at the end has so much emotion it gets me every time
Ari Aster is one of the true genuis filmmakers working in mainstream movies today and Joaquin is at the height of his powers as well. This looks absolutely bonkers and I can’t wait.
Genuinely one of the best movies I’ve evee seen, Phoenix gives a stellar performance and the script feels like a modern Kafka wrote it
1:14 major hereditary vibes with this sequence right here
See this in theatres please. Keep creativity alive in film ♥️
This easily became one of my most anticipated films of the year, looks incredible!
Definitely.
