If u watch George Clooney very carefully you will realise that Robert Downy Jr's acting is very similar to his. Specially in this particular scene it's pretty evident.
This is so well written. Young hire eager to prove herself.thinking she's better than old school staff because 1. She went to a prestigious school with a prestigious degree and 2. She knows how to use zoom and think she knows all about tech. Kinda reflects real life
This is one the greatest scenes of all time as far as I'm concerned. This film is filled with scenes like this. Can't believe it lost "Best Picture" to "The Hurt Locker". 2009 was a sucky year at the Oscars.
"The Hurt Locker" was a great film. 2009 was a relatively weak year for films. Outside of "The Hurt Locker," "Avatar" & "District 9," there weren't a lot of great films. This movie really should have been given more attention.
I’ve always enjoyed this film, but after getting let go last week, I’ve been enjoying clips from this movie for entirely new reasons. It’s such an interesting phenomenon losing your job for purely economic reasons (as opposed to performing badly or due to a major incident you caused). You aren’t mad at anyone, you don’t feel sorry for yourself, but at the same time you’re in free fall and you have bills to pay and 4 mouths to feed. I love how george Clooney talks to jk Simmons in this.
At the end of this meeting, she leaves the office, cries, never speaks to Ryan again, schedules a Zoom call meeting to speak to Ryan's boss privately, and tells the big boss that if he doesn't fire Ryan for harassment, she will tell her lawyer that she will begin a lawsuit against the company for creating a hostile work environment. That would be a Gen-Z girl in this role in 2024.
Anna Kendrick later claimed that she was financially insecure as a working actress when she made this movie, and that during the promotional tour her wardrobe was rented for her. Kendrick admitted that she felt bad about that, she thought it sent a misleading impression to young actresses. The role of Natalie Keener was written with Anna Kendrick in mind, after Jason Reitman saw her in Rocket Science (2007).
Aren't wardrobes for carpet walks commonly basically designer advertisements? Maybe that's just for the awards shows, but given the numbers I've seen worn to talk shows that I can't imagine are plucked out of the speakers wardrobe, I don't think it's common for even the promo circuit to be out of the actors closet.
@@westrimi think what that means is that at that point she wasnt a big name. designers lend out their pieces all the time, but only to names that will add prestige to their brand, not the other way around. pitch perfect is still three years away, camp and rocket science were not widely seen, and she has a bit part in twilight. all fantastic performances, but not enough to get her free designer threads.
@@oasisarah My point was "the clothes usually aren't their own" not "the clothes are usually designers." But I acknowledge my first sentence didn't make that clear.
Anna Kenrick is that perfect archetype of the little snot who makes all A's, no empathy, titanium jaws, has no idea about feelings or real life & frankly doesn't care. She was made for roles like this!
+Leading Leprechaun Regardless if you think it's misplaced it still means fictitious or only existing in ones imagination. I agree with you that hypothetical sounds better, but what she said is still accurate making it hardly laughable.
@Unique08 .... She was merely pointing out it was a made up situtation, no need to go all petty and chauvinistic. You're splitting hairs over semantics it isn't that deep
This scene is brilliant because Bingham feels that this girl could actually result in him being fired from his job firing people. Nice extra layer of delicious irony to the scene…the man who fires people desperately proving to his boss, the new girl, and really to himself, that he should keep his job.
I disagree, I think Bingham is so passionate and knowledgeable about the way the job is done, and like he said you the boss previously, there's some dignity on how is done. Doing it on screen is borderline disrespectful to people
@@greatgolfer23 Agreed. Bingham has respect for the people he fires and genuinely wants to help. To have some kid come in and do it from a screen, removes all of that.
@@greatgolfer23 Yeah but the bosses dont care about any of that. They care about numbers and expenses. Firing people on screen is cheaper than having to deal with travel expenses and it looks better on paper. SkyWayMan90 was absolutely right. Bingham was trying to protect his job and he was doing so by trying to show that whats on paper is wrong. I honestly dont understand how your comment disagrees with the original
@@Valiere2024 They probably would have got him to train Kendrick's character and create a training program for future Kendrick's and then fired him to cut his large salary from their expenses.
Tf is with the comments; it's an argument of revolutionizing old business tactics verses sticking to human, face to face interactions. He doesn't like the new protocol she's proposing and hes challenging her on it.
"Get the hell out of here! You're fired!" "No, I have a better idea. You keep me on the payroll as an outside consultant, and in exchange for my salary, my job will be to never tell people these things that I know about this company. I don't even need to come into the office for this job, I can do it from home." Actual life experience from the last time someone tried to fire me. This was how I got corporate sponsorship for my clubs and projects.
Now days you get sent to HR for looking at someone wrong. you hurt my feelings. boo too, to bad your fired. but I've been with company 20 years I'm 52 yrs. old what do I do, not my problem. that's life in our fucked up world 2016. you go from 60K a year 5 weeks vacation to driving a cab. welcome to my world....
I was looking for this exact scene. Love it. She's overrated af though, this was not a best supporting actress nod well deserved. She was new on the scene, that often get's obscured and confused for really great. Those two are NOT mutually exclusive.
Kendricks character is a perfect representation of how millenials think that with a fancy degree, they know everything and are qualified. In the end, a degree doesn't mean shit compared to real life experiences.
Millennials would be 27-43 years old. That’s degree+experience. I mean you could just say experience is as valuable or more so than degrees without shitting on millennials and degrees lol.
@@anishnehru3981 The movie was made in 2009. In 2009, millennials were aged 13-28. Anna's character is fresh out of college, there is a scene later where she says this is her first job after graduating. She's probably playing a character who is 21 or 22.
He's not going after her because she's a woman. He's going after her because she's a threat to his life style. Anna Kendrick and Vera Farmiga's characters in this film are just a strong, ambitious, and powerful as Clooeny's character.
@@hcpsdaviesrp Vera Farmiga's character reeks of disloyalty, hypocrisy and self-righteousness. Whenever I watch this movie, I skip almost all the scenes that she is in, however, I can't say the same for Anna's character. She's sweet, ambitious, but at times, she acted like a real cunt, generalising men as childish, materialistic just because her bf dumped her.
What a weird comment. Just say you've got a chip on your shoulder and hate women and go about your day, jesus. The only thing misogynistic is some of the comments; nothing "sexist" about this scene you are really reaching This post is littetered with angry men over an innocuous scene; mommy issues?
This could be a Budweiser scene with Alissa Heinerscheid. "I know NOTHING about beer, but I got this job, because my daddy got it for me and I was good at BJ's. Now I have screwed up an entire company, but they cannot fire me because it will look sexist and the LYGBTDKIFTS+ community love me!"
I love this movie.

I could totally also see RDJ in this role.
Good eye. I see it. A lot of his small mannerisms are similar, like the little smirks between lines of dialogue
That is a good catch...even his mannerisms are similar to RDJ
Great observation actually. You're right

Stop being a wanker. You stole this off Kevin Spacey's Lester Burnham character in American Beauty.
and then you suddenly started to hard af punching and throw your self into the glass, then begging just in time for security to come in
lol!!
Awesome bro. When did they sue you? Any contract for a position with access to important secrets comes with clauses to stop you doing this.
Nobody can do shit like this anymore, and it seriously pisses me off.
Firing without cause = lawsuit? What happened to at will employment
Depends on state, depends on the nature of the work arrangement, and even the industry. Not all places in the states have the same labor legislation.
