It really does, i had interpreted it the wrong way, I thought that she chose the juice box because her lawyer told her to not drink alcohol in the presence of Charlie, so he wouldn't use it against her. But I was really reaching lol the juice box being a connection to Henry makes so much sense.
This scene was so thought out yet so hard to watch for me because it felt like I was seeing something that I wasn't supposed to or like I was intruding. I got so lost in the characters that I forgot I was watching a movie and suddenly I was watching a couple fighting. Really good acting and directing.
The mom is a narcissist. She really thinks its ok to move across the country with their kid and the put the onus on the dad to fly all that way and get an apt; she doesn't care if he goes broke; he's just a struggling theater guy. WTH Sadly this kind of stuff happens in real life; usually it's the dad that bears the brunt of the financial disaster
I like how the movie didn't take sides or portrayed one character as more right than the other, they both had flaws in this marriage and we see that played out throughout the film
Let's be serious. At the end, the movie slowly takes side for Adam Driver. Spoiler : Because of her, he's loosing a lot of money. His play is a failure cause he's not there. She's the one that transforms their agreement in the formal lawyer fight that leads them to the horrible situation. Honestly, Adam Driver character, apart from cheating her, did nothing wrong !
"endings don't have to be failings. we can still celebrate the thing even when it's over" this really came through in the movie, such a subtle emotion and yet I think they portrayed it beautifully
Agree completely, I don’t know what Todd Phillips is doing in the best director category at the Oscars when it should clearly be Baumbach, Gerwig or Eggers
@TJP 123 i really don't think so. while joker isn't "bad" its not great either. In terms of story, writing, and character joker is very lackluster. The only thing saving it is a great performance by Joaquin phoenix. Therefore i think the director nod should have gone to noah or greta gerwig.
TJP 123 Let’s be honest, the title best comic book of all time isn’t a fantastic title when most of the movies in that genre are mediocre. I don’t even agree that it is the best comic book movie, but if it were, it still isn’t an amazing feat to accomplish. I felt that from a writing standpoint the movie wasn’t that fantastic, and I find points of it to be laughable. It’s a good movie to me, I liked it but it wasn’t anything mind blowing, certainly not from a directing standpoint. Phoenix was fantastic, but it wasn’t even near to my favourite performance of his
how did he not get an oscar nomination for best director? he’s so particular about every detail that went into this film and i’m so amazed at how he executed every detail so well.
Dude, to this day I don't understand how directors are nominated anyway. As if the academy saw how directors direct. If you only see the movie you don't know what is the director and what is anyone else who contributed to the movie.
Crowbar sooo for me, i’m pretty sure they nominate the director by how the story of the film has been played out. so if the movie is all over the place and doesn’t have any theme or the actors are all in random places that look weird on camera, that director definitely wouldn’t be nominated. a director controls the script and how it will translate on screen. so they’re helping out the cinematographers and also the actors to really execute the script so that the story can be effectively told soo i think that’s how they judge it?
Even if you don't clock it consciously when you watch, it's still coloring the scene subliminally for you in a way the director wants :) In fact, it's arguably more effective if you don't explicitly make the intent behind it!
@@Neo2266. Muscle memory doesn't involve using your brain to vocalise something. So again, calling someone a nickname is not an example of muscle memory.
Adam Driver’s acting in this scene blew me away. I didn’t start crying until he broke down. He started crying and I started crying, pretty much at the same time. Intense, incredible work.
Spoiler : I love how both Charlie and Nicole aren’t innocent in this movie, however one thing that I love is that both characters seem to betray their traits that were set up in the first 10 min of the movie, Nicole is introduced as someone more reactive with their emotions, unorganised and who has no difficulty with having tough conversations yet later she gets organised finding a lawyer, is unwilling to talk to Charlie and resolve their differences to move forward as a couple since the most heart breaking part of this movie is that they still love each other yet neither one says it. Charlie is set up as someone who is the opposite of Nicole he’s organised, neat, brings order to the family and is in control of his emotions for the most part. However through out the divorce we see him fall victim to his emotions when he argues with Nicole, failing to take care of his son when he visits by being late, forcing fun and generally being disorganised not only with his son but also his theatre company which inevitably gets shut down. This is the most obvious with the “ knife” scene when Charlie attempts his knife trick something he’s done a thousand times yet he fails and almost ends up passing out due to him paying more attention to his divorce than the actual task at hand. This obviously something done on Noah’s part and it’s pretty neat so i thank him for thinking about character development in such depth as it’s resulted in a great movie that I hope connects with a lot of people out there.
Great stuff! Also, when Charlie sings at the end, his shirt is wrinkled and messy, contradicting the early statement of him being a neat dresser. And Nicole at the end lightheartedly ties his shoe, much like Charlie used to lightheartedly point out that she has spinach in her teeth.
That fight scene was so amazing... I rarely watch these type of 'marriage/relationship' films but "Marriage Story" was exceptionally good. And Adam Driver, wow... just wow.
Same! I'm at 5 times in 4 days. It's becoming a problem but I don't care. It's honestly one of the best movies I've seen. I get something new each time I watch it too.
Izabela Santiago I’m not the biggest fan of watching the same movie within the same 6 months. I like to wait awhile in order to forget what I saw so I can have the same emotions again but I’m glad you are able to rewatch it in such a short time frame, I just can’t do that myself no matter how good the movie is.
He put so much thought into everything, and now I feel bad because as a person in the audience I didn’t appreciate it/catch some of the things he thought so much about!
If he put thought into these things so that the audience notices them, it would feel very artificial. It is good that you haven't noticed. That's not the point.
@MR PEEVES what do you mean himself, so Adam Driver is a controlling divorced parent? And while I agree that Joaquin is probably better in his performance, we shouldn't overlook Adam driver just because his character ain't a psychopath or something extreme. Awards should merit acting not character creation.
eh I disagree. she's only been good in lost in translation and under the skin (where she plays a detached alienated person). She acted better than usual in this movie but I still think it would've been way better if they cast someone else. She was really outshone in my opinion. She didn't bring a lot to the role that the script didn't already. But then again all my friends think I have a scarlett johansson vendetta so maybe it's like jeremy renner, jared leto, kaitlin stewart, or all the other actors that make movies worse for me when they're in them.
I was just thinking about that and had a thought. Do you think Adam gets maybe more louder praise for this scene because it’s not like you see men cry often. So in movies when an actor can cry it seems more alarming than when an actress cries. I was taken back seeing Scarlets first scene with the lawyer and the tears just flow naturally but I wonder is because it’s a male it seems more “talented”? Thoughts?
The thing I find particularly interesting about the placement of the broken hole in the wall is that it happens so high up in the wall that when the court appointee comes to his apartment to watch him with his son, it’s clear that only he was tall enough to put that hole in the wall. Although, I’m a bit surprised he didn’t hang a picture frame over it to cover what happened.
Omg Noah just made this brilliant scene even more brilliant. I think at the surface I didn't notice all the symbolism but subconsciously I must have because it takes my breath away each time I watch this movie (5x so far). Thanks variety for having Noah do this breakdown for us!
I really appreciate hearing his explanation of everything in this scene overall. This is a movie I have not seen yet. Your having seen I 5 times definitely makes me more curious about it.
That's what happens when you're so nervous about the thought of never seeing your child again, you start to forget the smallest things that could cost you in the long run.
Charlie probably doesn’t know how to fix the drywall since he didn’t have a father who was willing to teach him those useful life skills. I mean he didn’t even know how to install a car seat and he assumed the car company would do it. He seemed to rely on Nicole for a lot of things
I've seen people siding with ScarJo's character and others with Driver's, but in the end, it is just two people that can't make it work, both at fault and both had serious flaws that they weren't willing to overcome for the other. Noah Baumbach captures this so perfectly in the visual story telling of the film and I honestly enjoyed this film so much. It struck such a cord with me. I've made a video on my channel if anyone is interested!
As a married man, this movie kinda hit hard. I can’t imagine going through any of this. Made me appreciate my family a whole lot more. Great movies always have an effect on the viewer. This def did that to me.
Thank you all so much for inspiring my life saving Mobileye Intel career success story based in Jerusalem Israel where I daily save lives from car accidents and for inspiring my Oscar Academy Award winning journey.
Honestly one of the best scenes from a film I've seen in a very long time. Beautiful yet heartbreaking at the same time. Kudos to the director and actors involved.
The amount of subtle details in the scenarios and camera work that Todd Used are by far more artistic and smart than Noah's. Noah's i've seen them in many movies, and yeah, Todd's too, but they feel more unique, more disturbingly fresh and larger than life, even if it's in a small movie. That motherfucker was able to make a moment when an insane guy who just shot three guys on the subway dancing in a bathroom disturbingly big and artisticly frieghting. Noah's work was wonderful tho, but his greatness is less unique than Todd's. Besides Todd was a surprise, who would've thought the mediocre guy from the Hangover trilogy would've prove himself like this, and with ONE movie. That alone is more special than Noah's. If there's someone i don't think should be there is Tarantino... his directing in Once upom was... off putting. Too simplistic. Wide shots of hollywood, long-ass driving takes and long-ass shots of dialogue that leads nowhere. The only shot worth remember is the Bruce Lee fight, which was almost one shot. If there's someone i would totally replace there is Quentin, putting Noah instead. Quentin has done better and he wasn't even nominated those times. My point is Todd definately deserves beeing there, and i could a two hour video essay of why he does. But let's be honest, we all know martin will get it
Noah looks like he's feeling guilty for putting his actors, Driver especially, through so much Hell. I'm sure actors can be broken by some roles, I think there are a few videos out there about that phenomenon. Adam's broken sob there. It's just...
I love it so much. Scarlet and Adam were fantastic and Noah guided everything so majestically! This scene reminds me a lot of Jean-Luc Godard's 1963 film Contempt. The thirty minute long apartment scene very well blocked and constructed, with Brigitte Bardot and Michel Piccoli falling out of love through talking to each other, talking through walls and to themselves.
i love noah’s work, and this film did not disappoint! he’s such a thoughtful, talented human without being presumptuous • there really is a reason behind every small detail, even the edges of a coffee table. incredible work from all involved.
This brought me back to the film and I felt all those feelings again. Watching the film mase me relive all the bad fights I had with my wife and I'm glad we hadn't become full assholes to each other in a way we can't recover from. I'm so impressed with this film.
Glass tables, just because something is invented doesn't mean it should've been. I've never eaten a delicious meal and thought 'if only I could see my feet.' And the clanky glass on glass sound. And the how it shows a glass' condensation more. Embarrassing style that only halfwits thought to show off.
That scene where he is reading her letter about him, omg. He’s so perfect. This interview proves why you can pick any scene in this movie and have a full discussion on why it’s perfect. Noah has made great films, but this one is above and beyond.
I keep wondering and also wondering why no one has mentioned whether Marriage Story is somewhat based on Noah Baumbach’s marriage to Jennifer Jason Leigh. It’s the kind of story that is so personal that it feels like you had to have been part of something like it to have created it. I wonder how Leigh feels about this movie.
Its' based on his and numerous other of his friends who have gone thru this. There are several elements from Adam Driver's parents divorce in this, I heard that was traumatic for him.
"Ending don't have to be failings". I kinda don't see it in the movie. Overall it's really sad and bittersweet, and I don't feel like they will be able to celebrate what they lived together, rather just move on. Loved the movie and the performance.
I like the idea of exploring the ending of a marriage as not necessarily a failure but the natural conclusion of a phase in a couple's respective lives. Even stars die.
5:04 This reminds me of Falconetti's performance in Carl Theodor Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc, with the extreme close-ups on her anguished face during the trial. See here: ua-cam.com/video/C4_KDf4xhU8/v-deo.html
Marriage Story strangely tells a happier divorce story than my parents divorce. My dad won’t tell my mother he wishes she was dead to her face. He would simply look his children in the eye and tell them that he wishes we were never born if it meant being spared the pain of being reminded what he once shared with our mother.
I think the movie is brilliant by making us all argue who's right. It's as if we are all in this divorce, emotionally. what a work of art! In a way I was mostly sad for charlie and felt like the movie focused more on him midway. But later I ended up thinking that when you loose a lover, a wife, you loose all of her, you loose control over basic things like where she and your family are going to live (not always this drastically, but often enough). I think a lot of men grow cold to their lovers after having kids, unconsciously thinking they will still hang around and be the same person for them even if they are apart. That is Charlies tragic misunderstanding from moment one of the film. It's really built like a Greek tragedy. After thinking all of that, I truly understand Nicole and think there is a lot of truth telling in her character.
It's always exciting to hear what was behind a certain scene. We can learn a lot merely by listening to great, knowledgeable people. I didn't expect so many thoughts behind this scene. I assume there was also a specific atmosphere on a film set when they were making this scene. It's just extraordinary, creating things. I admire people for having skills to do that.
Watched last night. Wasn't bad but wasn't great. Good story but execution seemed lacking. For example, when the two were arguing, as they get emotional, they get better at articulation and yells non-stop back and forth. Too synchronized. People tend to stutter and fumble and talk over each other as they get emotional. This seemed unrealistic and actually tiring to listen to. And Adam Driver, good acting but come on, change hairstyle at least. He's same person in every movie he plays. He kept reminding me of Kylo Ren. Hard to be immersed in his character.
Both parents were flawed but the fact that the mother took the kid to LA from NY and thought it was ok to put him 3 thousand miles from his dad... that is just evil and sociopathic. He was a good dad. How can any parent to do this
She felt deeply disrespected and disregarded by him during their marriage for years, even though she loved him so much. It also didn't help that he slept with someone else during their marriage.
@@indrinita It doesn't matter. She should put her kid first. It's about the kid not her. It's unjust to separate a kid from a parent. You are proving my point. She felt disrespected, so she used the kid to get back. She put her feelings above the kid's well being. Evil
imagine having to tell someone that adam driver punched a hole in their wall
I would be happy lol

Insightful to hear about his process. That apartment is the saddest, most generic space in the whole movie. So perfect for the story.

3:46 ah, this is the Kylo Ren I'm looking for.
Brilliantly crafted scene.
This movie was uncomfortably accurate. It was soooo good!
We need more movies like this. Amazing writing and directing. Breathtaking performances. Soul shaking storytelling. Oscar-worthy all around 👏
Honestly one of the best scenes from a film I've seen in a very long time. Beautiful yet heartbreaking at the same time. Kudos to the director and actors involved.
The score of Marriage Story is so beautiful
Neel Moudgil it reminds me of toy story
MartialArtsCat101 Well it is Randy Newman
Snub of the year, for me Noah deserved to be nominated instead of Todd
Woah, woah, Todd Philips deserved it.
@@thejollyh5719 as I said, for ME
The amount of subtle details in the scenarios and camera work that Todd Used are by far more artistic and smart than Noah's. Noah's i've seen them in many movies, and yeah, Todd's too, but they feel more unique, more disturbingly fresh and larger than life, even if it's in a small movie. That motherfucker was able to make a moment when an insane guy who just shot three guys on the subway dancing in a bathroom disturbingly big and artisticly frieghting.
Noah's work was wonderful tho, but his greatness is less unique than Todd's. Besides Todd was a surprise, who would've thought the mediocre guy from the Hangover trilogy would've prove himself like this, and with ONE movie. That alone is more special than Noah's. If there's someone i don't think should be there is Tarantino... his directing in Once upom was... off putting. Too simplistic. Wide shots of hollywood, long-ass driving takes and long-ass shots of dialogue that leads nowhere. The only shot worth remember is the Bruce Lee fight, which was almost one shot. If there's someone i would totally replace there is Quentin, putting Noah instead. Quentin has done better and he wasn't even nominated those times.
My point is Todd definately deserves beeing there, and i could a two hour video essay of why he does. But let's be honest, we all know martin will get it
I would take off Tarantino instead and put Baumbach or Greta Gerwig... but that's me
@@tomastapia5241 Todd was good, but he copied a lot from Scorsese and he received a lot of help from Scott silver
If Tarantino wins best screenplay at the oscars instead of him, I will genuinely be quite pissed
This scene was heartbreaking and so real.
Noah looks like he's feeling guilty for putting his actors, Driver especially, through so much Hell.
I'm sure actors can be broken by some roles, I think there are a few videos out there about that phenomenon.
Adam's broken sob there. It's just...
Adam's "And you're like my father" always kills me
Can you imagine just trying to make some lunch and you hear Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson downstairs yelling at each other.
Wow that apple juice had so much meaning
It’s a real friggin apartment, not the glamourized Hollywood split level penthouse version one, lol.
its amazing how different the space looks being shot on generic TV video in comparison to Film in the hands of a cinematographer
I love it so much. Scarlet and Adam were fantastic and Noah guided everything so majestically! This scene reminds me a lot of Jean-Luc Godard's 1963 film Contempt. The thirty minute long apartment scene very well blocked and constructed, with Brigitte Bardot and Michel Piccoli falling out of love through talking to each other, talking through walls and to themselves.
i love noah’s work, and this film did not disappoint! he’s such a thoughtful, talented human without being presumptuous • there really is a reason behind every small detail, even the edges of a coffee table. incredible work from all involved.
Work of art by everyone from the actors to the director!!! Genius!
I haven't seen the movie, so when the title said "fight scene" I took that literally and scrubbed through the whole vid looking for the fight
ZiroWatt Why?
@@linusfotograf lol I thought it meant a literal combat fight scene
This movie was acted perfectly AND filmed perfectly it's insane how emotional it makes me feel
I'm just glad that Scarlett was nominated because she TOO was incredible in this movie.
Noah: “We’ll just put this thin but breakable wall here so he can punch a hole in the wall but not damage the apartment”
Kylo Ren: “Hold my beer”
How do I move into this awesome apartment?
It need the Oscar for best picture
This movie is a masterpiece. But I think parasite or 1917 deserves best picture
I want husband with Adam's voice
I could honestly listen to Noah Baumbach talk for hours and hours..
There were too many good movies this year which means too many good directors. I’m sad he didn’t get an Oscar nomination
Ro’s Videos! Very disappointed
This brought me back to the film and I felt all those feelings again. Watching the film mase me relive all the bad fights I had with my wife and I'm glad we hadn't become full assholes to each other in a way we can't recover from. I'm so impressed with this film.
Routing for my boy in the Oscars
Glass tables, just because something is invented doesn't mean it should've been.
I've never eaten a delicious meal and thought 'if only I could see my feet.'
And the clanky glass on glass sound. And the how it shows a glass' condensation more. Embarrassing style that only halfwits thought to show off.
his and greta's baby probably has the best facial features cause his face is so angular and greta's is so round
Well she's fat so
puzzty munxferd so ?
@@xarachne8473 wtf? there's nothing wrong with being fat and like... she's definitely on the smaller side of body sizes
This made me appreciate the film a lot more. Wow. I'll have to go rewatch.
That scene where he is reading her letter about him, omg. He’s so perfect. This interview proves why you can pick any scene in this movie and have a full discussion on why it’s perfect. Noah has made great films, but this one is above and beyond.
I keep wondering and also wondering why no one has mentioned whether Marriage Story is somewhat based on Noah Baumbach’s marriage to Jennifer Jason Leigh. It’s the kind of story that is so personal that it feels like you had to have been part of something like it to have created it. I wonder how Leigh feels about this movie.
Its' based on his and numerous other of his friends who have gone thru this. There are several elements from Adam Driver's parents divorce in this, I heard that was traumatic for him.
When he breaks the wall I was stunned.
An Noah Baumbach is a genius because that hole in the wall sticks out for the rest of the scene.
I only watch short clips since I can't watch the whole movie. Too painful to watch
Endings don't have to be failings. Man, that got me in the feels.
Marriage Story and Call me by your name are two movies that I love to visit every now and then...
Henry’s a juice box, y’all
"Ending don't have to be failings". I kinda don't see it in the movie. Overall it's really sad and bittersweet, and I don't feel like they will be able to celebrate what they lived together, rather just move on. Loved the movie and the performance.
Unrelated but he dresses extremely well.... reminds me of that opening monologue about how Charlie can dress very well without looking embarrassing
Just seen the movie yesterday, idk why it took me this long ...... I literally cried four times.
I like the idea of exploring the ending of a marriage as not necessarily a failure but the natural conclusion of a phase in a couple's respective lives. Even stars die.
The most painful movie I've ever had to watch in my life.
5:04 This reminds me of Falconetti's performance in Carl Theodor Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc, with the extreme close-ups on her anguished face during the trial. See here:
ua-cam.com/video/C4_KDf4xhU8/v-deo.html
Fantastic. Wonderful. Thorough. Brilliant. Layered. Beautiful. Genius.
I hope this wins best screenplay
This movie was brilliant! It shows the ugly truth of divorce and how it effects everyone! It was sad but great in every way!!
Man you can tell this man has a real connection to this story
This scene is so brilliant, heartbreaking and beautiful.
Masterpiece
I just love this thought process. Something the views as consumers of the movie take for granted.
Haven’t ever noticed the juice box until he mentioned it 🧃
I tried to side with one character but the movie was so well unbiased it really showed the flaw of each person it truly is a beautiful movie
Marriage Story strangely tells a happier divorce story than my parents divorce. My dad won’t tell my mother he wishes she was dead to her face. He would simply look his children in the eye and tell them that he wishes we were never born if it meant being spared the pain of being reminded what he once shared with our mother.
Todd Philip's getting the nomination over Noah is super disrespectful to cinema.
i definitely agree.
@@lillykurtz7871 nice to know I'm not alone lol
and greta too tbh...
@@actingout4462 Yup , they completely shit on her by not nominating her . As a male , I apologize for the treatment of the female gender .
victor keeps it 100 How so? Todd Philips was quite a good director as well
I thought the punch in the wall looked staged but I hoped it was improvised. Still a brilliant scene!
Amazing movie. I had to stop watching a few times because it brought up memories of the end of my marriage although it was 36 years ago.
I want people who haven't seen the film to look at the title and think Scarlette Johansson and Adam Driver had like wrestling match.
I think the movie is brilliant by making us all argue who's right. It's as if we are all in this divorce, emotionally. what a work of art! In a way I was mostly sad for charlie and felt like the movie focused more on him midway. But later I ended up thinking that when you loose a lover, a wife, you loose all of her, you loose control over basic things like where she and your family are going to live (not always this drastically, but often enough). I think a lot of men grow cold to their lovers after having kids, unconsciously thinking they will still hang around and be the same person for them even if they are apart. That is Charlies tragic misunderstanding from moment one of the film. It's really built like a Greek tragedy. After thinking all of that, I truly understand Nicole and think there is a lot of truth telling in her character.
Great movie. I don't say that a lot.
Also... if Adam won't win the Oscar for this you can close the Academy.
Three months since my wife break up with me. We have a fight very like that one. I hope i can keep up with my life.
Hang in there buddy
@@aphrolith7676 Tks a lot.
It's always exciting to hear what was behind a certain scene. We can learn a lot merely by listening to great, knowledgeable people. I didn't expect so many thoughts behind this scene. I assume there was also a specific atmosphere on a film set when they were making this scene. It's just extraordinary, creating things. I admire people for having skills to do that.
Watched last night. Wasn't bad but wasn't great. Good story but execution seemed lacking. For example, when the two were arguing, as they get emotional, they get better at articulation and yells non-stop back and forth. Too synchronized. People tend to stutter and fumble and talk over each other as they get emotional. This seemed unrealistic and actually tiring to listen to.
And Adam Driver, good acting but come on, change hairstyle at least. He's same person in every movie he plays. He kept reminding me of Kylo Ren. Hard to be immersed in his character.
This was one of the best movie scenes of 2019 imo
Both parents were flawed but the fact that the mother took the kid to LA from NY and thought it was ok to put him 3 thousand miles from his dad... that is just evil and sociopathic. He was a good dad. How can any parent to do this
She felt deeply disrespected and disregarded by him during their marriage for years, even though she loved him so much. It also didn't help that he slept with someone else during their marriage.
@@indrinita It doesn't matter. She should put her kid first. It's about the kid not her. It's unjust to separate a kid from a parent.
You are proving my point. She felt disrespected, so she used the kid to get back. She put her feelings above the kid's well being. Evil
