I'm so surprised to see that this is everyone's least favourite scene in the film. In a very strange way, I think it's my favourite. I can't stop thinking about it.
Ben Moran This scene was definitely my favourite. So relatable, just, doing an existential crisis and thinking, and just, speak and you're lost- I was feeling so touched by this scene, I find it beautiful.
Ben Moran I think that's because it sounds really pretensious. The character looks like that one guy who thinks he is so smarter than the rest of us and likes to make existencial speeches like he is in a movie.
Btw i know he is in a movie but he reminds us of people in real life that act like that. Maybe if the filmmakers decided to make it sound more natural and come out of a more fleshed out character that the viewers already respect and see as smart, people would like this monologue more.
People attacking this scene in the comments for its supposed pretensions of depth and trite philosophical musings fail to understand that that's the point; it's meant to be those things. These are all the ideas that the movie seeks to refute. The cyclical and lasting power of human attachment on display in the film is meant to serve as a counterexample to the base nihilism that manifests when one considers the idea of a universe built to end and be forgotten, and demonstrates how a quest for "meaning" in the long-term is futile, because it is in experience that these things are achieved, that this "meaning" is found. And this is why despite the onward march of time which sweeps the ghost up with it, far into the future and back into the past, the ghost ends up at that same point of attachment, completing the loop at a point where finding "meaning" is possible.
You could also interpret the ghots as matter of memory that piles up as the loop creates layers upon layes of time - unless the ghosts just vanish once they feel resolved - like the scene where one version of the protagonists ghost finds the note in the wall and cumbusts afterwards (a different question iswhere does this ghost go after this?) - but since there seems to be more ghosts of the same person piling up as the loop goes on and since the ghost are capable of interacting with the surroundings wouldnt they in that way change minor details in the loop - causing a butterflyeffect bleeding though the layers of time and ultimatly changing it - but what for? just for the sake of...?
We dont hate it. We think this is an unneeded exposition. The movie could have done this in a mpre artistic and subtle way. This movie was a visual literary movie. And i think this is just the director explaining the whole point in a shot. I say lazy in a light way
YES. THIS. THANK YOU. I'm driven crazy when I constantly read that this scene somehow "explains" the film. How could it explain the film, when every other single frame in the movie contradicts it?
What you say is true. Precisely because of that I can´t understand why would anybody enjoy watching that. The guy doesn't say anything we don't know, we just choose not to talk about it because it's uttly depressing and takes away any sense of meaning for life
Really wonderful scene, at least if you recognize the irony in watching a guy lament the finite nature of existence as a literal ghost listens just off frame. I mean he's comically listed as the "Prognosticator" in the credits if you weren't already sold on the idea that this monologue should not be taken at face value. Also wonderfully delivered by the great musician Bonnie Prince Billy.
LordOfTheLemon Thank You! I have been wondering what this actor's name is. I absolutely loved this scene, a stark contrast to the story that was being told. Absolutely brilliant!
god i love how this is the only actual real dialogue-driven part of the movie and theres so many layers to how he's right and how he's wrong, how through irony and a depressed worldview his conclusions switch, how closely what he says has relevance to what the movie is about and why it'd stick out for the ghost's memories... i take no unperverted pride in being completely hyped for this movie and having it be satisfied with quite possibly one of the best ever
Yes humanity will end, and everyone will die, but until then I will love people with my whole heart and give my everything to existence. Life is not made to end, life is made to experience.
And that is the point of the movie, and why this guy is wrong. The point is it simply does not matter, because at one point in time someone has loved and been loved, evidenced by the girl leaving notes at her previous homes. When the ghost sees this (I interpret it to be a note confirming her love for him, something or the other), it allows him to let go because he knows his life has mattered. It’s a genius movie and I think people are missing the point when they agree with this guy speaking in the clip.
This was the most impactful scene in the movie for me. I try to distance myself from narcissism, but this hits it right on the head. Whatever we do in life has no real meaning or impact in the long run.
No, the opposite. He pontificates about the permanence of death and the futility of connection and legacy, all the while being watched by a literal ghost. The film offers itself as an alternative to the unproductive nihilism exhibited by this character. By breaking the bulb, the Ghost proves him wrong.
What he is referring to is that everything is reduced to nothing if you do not believe in God. God has planted eternity in our hearts, that is why we have an innate instinct that longs for immortality. Although we know that we all have to die, death always seems unfair and illogical to us, it is because we were created to be eternal. So do not get too attached to this world, because it is only our home temporarily, this life is only a preamble to the one to come, we will be much longer on the other side of death, in eternity. To keep us from clinging too tightly to this earth, God allows us to experience some degree of discomfort and sadness in our lives, i.e., longings that will never be satisfied on this side of eternity. We are not completely happy here because we are not supposed to be! Earth is not our final home; we were created for something much better. A fish could never feel good living on land, because it was created for water. An eagle would not feel fulfilled if it were not allowed to fly. You will never feel completely satisfied on land because you were created for something else. You will have happy moments here, but nothing compared to what God has planned for you. You won't get home until two seconds before you sob: Why did I give so much importance to things that were temporary? What was I thinking? Why did I waste so much time, effort and interest in something that wasn't going to last? When life gets difficult, when you are overcome with doubt or when you question whether it is worth the sacrifice of living for Christ, remember that you have not yet arrived home. At the moment of death you will not leave your home, rather you will go home.
One of the best scenes in any movie ever. He really explained what human existence is about. One of my favorite movies together with Charlie Kaufmans "Synecdoche, New York" and Gaspar Noes "Enter The Void".
This scene is fine.. but i think it is kinda unneeded exposition for me. They could have done this in a more subtle way, a more beautiful and visual way. I think this scene is a waste of potential. But it still is great and the performance was awesome.
Because it is deep. When you're young you have all these emotions, aspirations and then you graduate high school and college, and begin a job and become lost in the repetitiveness of it, you lose track of what's important around you. You worry about payments, about deadlines, about the newest phone and that young person who was once in High School and looked towards the future and at the sky and wanted it all, is suddenly stuck working at a cubicle to pay off his mortgage, to feed his kids, to pay off his car... and at the end nothing of it all matters.
I can't get out of this scene. İ think about this a lot, and honestly these words makes me think that suicide isn't such a bad thing or irrational thing. Our lives are meanless and ephemeral. There is no logical reason to live. Everyting is meanless, nothing matters
I need to know what is the exact sound track which plays in A Ghost Story movie at the time frame from 1:04:02 to 1:04:43. SCENE (The Guy Discusses Beethoven Etc in Party). Please am really really in need to know so I could hear the full soundtrack of that particular bgm piece. It's a kind of humble request. Any one please show some insight
@@hauntedskeleton yeah I find the song , because I send to the artist..., as it is a base, it is not in the public domain. But the artist sent the song it to me privately....
@fae ragan Immortality is literally impossible, and not to mention useless. What's the point of living forever? It would be very boring, and you would never be able to rest in peace. We're here for the time that we have, and then we die. That's it. That's the way the universe works, and sometimes it's difficult for people to understand.
Say what you want about this scene, what he says is true. Nothing really matters, none of us will be remembered in the grand scale of things and we’re only alive for what is a blink of time relatively speaking.
@@Mr79Shahin he's listed as the prognastigator in the credits. He's not meant to be taken seriously. Notice how everyone listens to him in the beginning but towards the end the partygoers lose interest in his pretentious ramblings. Also, his whole point is that nothing means anything and everything disappears eventually, while literally unknowingly in the presence of the ghost of a man who literally cannot move on in the afterworld because he hasn't made peace with the love of his life, proving that there DEFINITIVELY IS more to the world than pure chaos. In fact, it's pretty beautiful and heartwarming how wrong this guy is.
Señor Everything I see. In the context of the film, then perhaps I misinterpreted his ramblings. But notwithstanding, his rant did strike a chord with me. In the grand scale of matters, we are all insignificant and even our most notable innovators and geniuses will be forgotten in time. Carl Sagan’s pale blue dot comes to mind.
@@Mr79Shahin thinking about the existential mess we live in does tend to make things seem insignificant and fleeting, but I like to think that some things last beyond this earth. Love, for instance. Maybe Bach's 9th Symphony won't last forever, but pure human connection will.
So is this gonna be released in europe or are we just supposed to watch all of those clips in chronological order (in which case i'd like to know what order that is, since i haven't seen the movie).
Just watched this and this monologue is absolutely insufferable. And I’m hoping that was the point. How come the single mom and the children got the spooks but this tool gets to spout what feels like an hour of awful exposition without even having a bottle tossed up his nostril?
While this is my favorite scene, I think there is a fallacy of assumptions made about the static state of human condition. Having said that there are other scenarios where we face same situation described in near future. The tectonic shift happens in much longer periods by which time humanity should have achieved a lot more than now. It is difficult to accurately predict how much we can avoid the impact of such events, but if we are around likely we can maneuver around it. A nuclear war or other catastrophic war is more likely and we may face the same effect as the dialogue here. Avoidable although likely given circumstances.
Yeah alright I admit. This scene does stick out. It’s a sudden change of pace and interrupts the meditative silence of the movie. But my God. It is without question the best monologue I’ve ever seen in a movie
The key phrase for this whole scene is "Do you have God?" "No." This is what everything amounts to then if we convince ourselves there's nothing transcendent, no eschaton, no grace, no redemption.
for the next 1 minute leading this scene, there is a melody which i found is the best melody i've ever heard. Anyone who know please give the name of the music or beat. Thank you.
Einars Skuja thank you but it's not the one. The melody is played while the bald guy keeps talking until he ends ( while everybody stand up and dancing too) . I think it's just the melody they created for the movie there is no song for it.
It’s weird that people are hating on this scene, as if the rest of the movie doesn’t exist to disprove what he’s saying. It’s not supposed to be looked at as some sort of perfect truth, it’s merely a representation of what creates our fear of the ephemeral.
Exactly ,that's why the ghost busts the bulb here. I feel like the ghost doing that was a visual representation of disproving or disagreeing with everything the guy says here. Idk maybe I'm just yapping
In hindsight it's so obvious the film portrayed this guy as an asshole that's too self absorbed, anyone thinking this scene is bad cuz it "explains" the film missed the point
There’s a few reasons I don’t care for this scene much but the biggest is I don’t think this actor is good or believable. Probably the lone blemish on the directors performance by choosing this take. Shoulda had him try again
That's the point of the movie: dichotomy of two opposing forces that results in synthesis. This dude is giving solid arguments: Hegelian Dialectics is very hard to argue against, however he comes off a someone who isn't truthful. This conflict merges together and results in a synthesis in the eyes of the viewer, and they are left with a richer understanding of people as a result of it.
He pontificates about the permanence of death and the futility of connection and legacy, all the while being watched by a literal ghost. The film offers itself as an alternative to the unproductive nihilism exhibited by this character. By breaking the bulb, the Ghost proves him wrong.
YES!!!! i just found out he actually has acted in quite a few movies, but i had no idea he was in this one. totally lost my shit when i realized will fucking oldham would be the one delivering this movie's a24 dinner monologue.
This is my problem with A24 movies it’s all about death & the inevitable, it gets boring I like there movies & all, but the theme being life is pointless to life is living for is getting tiresome
It's also the old fashioned "vignette" aspect ratio. You can see it used in old photos, ones taken during the black and white days. I'd imagine they're linking it back to the theme of "time" in the film.
Raymond Luxury Yacht why the hell will anybody do that lol. That is so stupid man. If you do that, then you are missing the whole point. This is a visual storytelling of one's goal and its history not some jesus bulls shit.
this performance is really poor. it's cliched to death and it isn't deep because he's constantly spitting line after line. there's 0 subtlety in his performance. take a look at how actors in andrei tarkovsky films break dialogue down. a great amount of pauses and silence, not just constantly spewing the dialogue with 0 facial expressions. they enter a melancholic realm, this guy is just constantly rushing his lines after another.
his facial expression is just one continuous dull look throughout this entire clip. there is no other facial expression, simply one note. a rambling performance can have tons of subtlety. the writer in Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker is a rambler, but he just doesn't constantly deliver his line after another. He stops for 3 seconds or more then starts again. Then moments of silence and then start again. He also has more than one facial expression of course other than this Will Oldham guy. The Will Oldham guy is also overtly expressing his vocals, which barely anyone ever does unless they are voice acting for a cartoon or playing a caricature of a Shakespearean character.
nope, don't see it. it never changes, he's just one constant dull look after another. it's like every other cliched indie performance. his performance is too flat, mediocre, and cartoonish. how he delivered this is just science at the end was dreadful to listen to. i felt like i was watching and listening to a performance from Samurai Cop.
that makes no sense. the writing is already good enough. they just needed to hire someone other than that guy to perform it well. also, they should've made the character drunk so his rambling would make more sense and his phase would be in a mellow state of lost. they should've gotten a grizzled drunk Hugh Jackman to play this role and taking it very seriously other than this guy who has no expression whatsoever or power in his voice.
I'm so surprised to see that this is everyone's least favourite scene in the film. In a very strange way, I think it's my favourite. I can't stop thinking about it.

That's because it contradicts the film. It's a very important scene because it speaks the opposite of the movie.

Stormy yeh but not that it matters!
What he is referring to is that everything is reduced to nothing if you do not believe in God.
God has planted eternity in our hearts, that is why we have an innate instinct that longs for immortality.

My favorite scene and I've been thinking this same thing for so long.
this is a good movie!
The actual scene from the movie was way longer. I didn't think he'd ever shut up.
By far one of the best scenes in the movies history.
This is so subtle
To those whom thought this was a bad scene, it's told by a drunk hipster at a party. No duh it's simple philosophy.
That’s not why I think it’s the weakest part of a near perfect film but your comment is dead on and hilarious
A damn good movie.

this is such high school level philosophy why did he think this was deep lmao
Because maybe it came from a personal experience
I think it was scene to communicate the philosophy of the film for the general audience.

Ok I had hope that this was an actual song and not just a melody for the movie. Because I f*cking love this melody!
Where i can find the transcription of this monologue?
I think u should Google it
That bald guy makes a lot of sense.
This shit almost made me sleep to death and become a real ghost
TRUTH
I believe this theory has an actual name..can anyone tell me?
Please talk my, what’s is song?
SHNICEL DRICEL it's I get overwhelmed by Dark Rooms.
Dzung Bao Bui no its not
Anand Gedam if he's talking about the song at the end of this video, I'm quite sure it is.
Dzung Bao Bui he is talking about the song in the background
What's the song?
Привет, Ты не нашла эту композицию? Если да, скажи название пожалуйста!
Инна Кириленко
Я нашёл всё таки! Вот если нужно.
Last One - Stereo Jane
SHNICEL DRICEL я тоже нашол, ну катбута не это, можыт на фильме ремикс?
It’s weird that people are hating on this scene, as if the rest of the movie doesn’t exist to disprove what he’s saying. It’s not supposed to be looked at as some sort of perfect truth, it’s merely a representation of what creates our fear of the ephemeral.
Exactly ,that's why the ghost busts the bulb here. I feel like the ghost doing that was a visual representation of disproving or disagreeing with everything the guy says here. Idk maybe I'm just yapping
I bet he sees a darkness. Get it?
Incredible film but this scene is too on the nose.
This was a great movie, but it also made my crippling depression worse and increased my contemplation of suicide.
;
I hope you're still around
In hindsight it's so obvious the film portrayed this guy as an asshole that's too self absorbed, anyone thinking this scene is bad cuz it "explains" the film missed the point
I thought t was Bonnie Prince Billy in that scene, and it is!! cool!
This scene gave me a nervous breakdown
this schene made me shit all over the place
Will Oldham rulez!!!!
But his lines suck
There's always that one guy at the party...

There’s a few reasons I don’t care for this scene much but the biggest is I don’t think this actor is good or believable. Probably the lone blemish on the directors performance by choosing this take. Shoulda had him try again
That's the point of the movie: dichotomy of two opposing forces that results in synthesis. This dude is giving solid arguments: Hegelian Dialectics is very hard to argue against, however he comes off a someone who isn't truthful. This conflict merges together and results in a synthesis in the eyes of the viewer, and they are left with a richer understanding of people as a result of it.
@@carnivorous_vegan just do the take better man. Don’t overthink it trying to justify it.
He pontificates about the permanence of death and the futility of connection and legacy, all the while being watched by a literal ghost. The film offers itself as an alternative to the unproductive nihilism exhibited by this character. By breaking the bulb, the Ghost proves him wrong.
Is this Bonnie Prince Billy???
YES!!!! i just found out he actually has acted in quite a few movies, but i had no idea he was in this one. totally lost my shit when i realized will fucking oldham would be the one delivering this movie's a24 dinner monologue.
Horrible scene. Its kinda like they just put it in here and didnt trust the audience or the film to convey the message.
Literally I’ve been to party, people would laugh at him
God it’s just bad expository dialogue -_-
I loved this movie, but this dialog went on way too long.
This is cringey AF.

This is my problem with A24 movies it’s all about death & the inevitable, it gets boring I like there movies & all, but the theme being life is pointless to life is living for is getting tiresome
by far the worst scene in this film
Youre kidding right?
I think Rooney Mara eating pie in silence for 5 minutes was the worst part 😂
voce nao entendeu o conceito amore
The movie doesnt have too much dialogue, explain a little bit was a necessary evil.
Was literally the pinnacle of the film
My least favorite scene tbh. I think if it was delivered differently I would appreciate it more but I just couldn't listen this guy.
Whats up with the weird ass aspect ratio?
Connor Bonelli it's how the movie was shot
The movie was shot in this aspect ratio to give the illusion to the viewer that you're trapped, much like the ghost.
It's also the old fashioned "vignette" aspect ratio. You can see it used in old photos, ones taken during the black and white days. I'd imagine they're linking it back to the theme of "time" in the film.
actually i think most films in the history of cinema have been shot in this ratio
@@disrighthere532 holy moly !!!
one of the all-time worst scenes of cinema
catsniffingmania Bullshit.
imagine being a weeboo, a dumb one
Raymond Luxury Yacht why the hell will anybody do that lol. That is so stupid man. If you do that, then you are missing the whole point. This is a visual storytelling of one's goal and its history not some jesus bulls shit.
that was fucking horrible. why did they cast him, he's overdoing all his lines.
this performance is really poor. it's cliched to death and it isn't deep because he's constantly spitting line after line. there's 0 subtlety in his performance. take a look at how actors in andrei tarkovsky films break dialogue down. a great amount of pauses and silence, not just constantly spewing the dialogue with 0 facial expressions. they enter a melancholic realm, this guy is just constantly rushing his lines after another.
his facial expression is just one continuous dull look throughout this entire clip. there is no other facial expression, simply one note. a rambling performance can have tons of subtlety. the writer in Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker is a rambler, but he just doesn't constantly deliver his line after another. He stops for 3 seconds or more then starts again. Then moments of silence and then start again. He also has more than one facial expression of course other than this Will Oldham guy. The Will Oldham guy is also overtly expressing his vocals, which barely anyone ever does unless they are voice acting for a cartoon or playing a caricature of a Shakespearean character.
Shhhhh. Let people enjoy things.
nope, don't see it. it never changes, he's just one constant dull look after another. it's like every other cliched indie performance. his performance is too flat, mediocre, and cartoonish. how he delivered this is just science at the end was dreadful to listen to. i felt like i was watching and listening to a performance from Samurai Cop.
that makes no sense. the writing is already good enough. they just needed to hire someone other than that guy to perform it well. also, they should've made the character drunk so his rambling would make more sense and his phase would be in a mellow state of lost. they should've gotten a grizzled drunk Hugh Jackman to play this role and taking it very seriously other than this guy who has no expression whatsoever or power in his voice.
