    The video is basically saying, you have to make the changes you want to see in your life yourself, in this instance, michael is socially awkward and he probably wishes someone would just appear, but, when they actually do, he realizes that its not a coincidence hes alone all the time, and even if someone is right in front of him, he is still the same socially awkward person, you cant eat the candy before the dinner, you have to grow first, man I love this video.

    • @CollMomo1

      over analyse ? I just saw an awkward/wtf scene possibly in an asylum environment (realistically speaking).

    • @assmane999
      @assmane999 10 років тому +19

      CollMomo1 No he's not over-analyzing. There has to be a point to the video, and based on Cerra's reaction after she leaves, indicates he is right.

    • @TeasiaBoone
      @TeasiaBoone 10 років тому +3

      assmane999 well the reasoning is a stretch but it is obviously symbolic to some extent towards relationships.

    • @nickperry3255
      @nickperry3255 10 років тому +25

      i believe the house represents his heart. a girl just walked in and he feels uncomfortable letting her stay. he tried to avoid letting her see the rest of his house (heart) because he felt embarrassed of the mess. he wanted her to stay but didn't want her to get too close so as a result she left.

    That's everyday relationship failure. Someone random comes up accidently, being rejected at first because of fear, trying to talk for a while, then just goes away... It's hard to realize how many people we reject and how many times we ourselves are rejected. And then we die.

    one thing I've started to realize about Cera's short films is that everything is symbolic. I had to watch this twice to really glean something from it. I think this short film is symbolic of relationships with women; they come into your life suddenly, out of nowhere, and he fears the intimacy at first, but in retrospect realizes it was a relationship worth having. if nothing else, I find it to be an intriguing, well-acted short

      i like seeing that people can have different views on things. You may have not agree with them but it says something about the video then doesn't it. The first time I watched this I kind of just shook my head and went onto gregory goes boom which I loved. I came back to this and imagined myself in that spot of michael cera. I would have to agree with Jeremy, excellent view on it. Spot on. My eyes did catch the breaking dish the second time through, and how he said "that was stupid".

    Like one of the previous comments mentioned, the house represents his heart. With that in mind, the sudden emergence of the young woman and his reaction towards it represents his surprise or unfamiliarity at having connections with girls.I believe the girl isnt just one girl, but rather, symbolically speaking, all the possible mates he's had chances with. She changes her accent a couple of times. She used a latina, black woman, and whatever other accents i cant remember. When he breaks the plate, and says "that was stupid", signifies how easily he deters himself from seeking a relationship because of silly mistakes that he makes. Which is because of his social awkwardness. I wanna write more, but that is too much for a comment; I guess.

    • @IceKoldKilla
      @IceKoldKilla 9 років тому

      Thanks for explaining this. I always wondered why people that wanna put a message out there don't just say it in a sincere moment on video (internet, TV). Music too. In this case maybe he's shy to say it but feels the need to put it out. I dunno.

    He has an opportunity to start a relationship with an attractive, interesting woman dropped right on his lap, but his fears and insecurities prevent him from taking advantage of it. Later he regrets squandering the opportunity, which has once again left him alone. The story of my life.

    In the Jash series I have been watching all the films of one author before moving to another. I just finished with Tim and Erics spot on awkwardness and anti humor and now onto Michael Cera. I wasn't sure what to expect, but interesting. I found with T&E the more I watched them the more I liked them or appreciated their type of videos, I think that goes with a lot of these styles of video.

  • @castle4640
    @castle4640 3 роки тому +1

    It’s called Failure for a reason. To me this is about fear squandering rare, unexpected once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. The line “it’s messy up here” says it all. The man’s mind is too self-conscious and not ready to accept a loss of control and necessary leap of faith. A risky investment versus safe stagnation; what would you choose? One thing’s for sure, the woman (or opportunity) is now gone and is not coming back.

  • @christinehernandez4746
    @christinehernandez4746 6 років тому +1

    The shattered plate reminds me of the broken pieces in the world conversation in Nick and Norah. We don’t find the pieces; we are the pieces that must be put together. Woman attempted it, but Man failed.
    Aubrey sure loves to play the crazy role. I wonder if she researches mental health issues, and then behaves like so in RL! She seems a bit kooky like that.

  • @zSQUIDTASTIC
    @zSQUIDTASTIC 11 років тому +4

    If a collection of random words are put together there is ultimately some reason why those words were chosen in the first place if not applied or knowledgeably placed then subconsciously. Everyone is an effort. If Cera made a video about 3 spoons he used to eat 6 bowls of rice and then ran into a tree on his late night jog and then met a dog that he took home as his pet, it appears random but always there is a true purpose, whether it deep or not. Welcome psychology.

  • @JesseNicoleable
    @JesseNicoleable 11 років тому +1

    Are you kidding?? Plaza couldn't play bubbly if she were possessed by Tinkerbell, Snow White, and Minnie Mouse simultaneously. Harley Quinn has to be played by the right actress. There is a lot of under-utilized talent out there, like Krysten Ritter from Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23, Mila Kunis even though I hated her in Oz, Katy Perry (maybe?), Jane Levy of Suburgatory. I hope that they don't go with one of the usual suspects. Most A-list actresses are old, and new blood would be nice.
