Barry: Egocentrism & Relationships (video essay)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 лип 2024
- After finally watching Barry over the quarantine, I found the depiction of different relationships in the series rather fascinating. Here, I analyze different relationships in the show, determine the role egocentrism plays in these relationships, and associate them to the different types of friendship as described by aristotle.
Barry is an HBO series, this footage does not belong to me.

00:00 - Intro
01:41 - Barry & Fuches
06:36 - Barry & Cousineau
11:15 - Barry & Sally
17:30 - Hank & Cristobal
20:19 - Conclusion
This video was made before s4 came out so a lot may change in the final season.
also wanted to say: thank you so much for all the support and for getting this to be my first video to pass 10k views!!🎉🎉 this has been EXTREMELY encouraging
Lol, I was just thinking that the description of the last relationship aged poorly
@@manganess5126 yeah it aged like milk 😭 communication def needed some work still
I think Sally being so hateable is a testament to the good writing, she is very much intentionally an unlikeable person
Oh absolutely! I think most characters in the show represent different forms of selfishness, and sally is the most obvious in it. Especially in her relationship with Natalie this latest season.
The show really kills it
I like how, similar to Skyler on Breaking Bad, there was a certain amount of fan backlash to the character of Sally and that the writers just doubled down on her selfishness and unlikability which just made her even more fascinating to watch. She's a victim of abuse but she's not some perfect virtuous angel either. She's a human being and too often we treat women who have been treated badly as suspect if they don't have a perfect past (which none of us do).
I do think the situation between Sally and Skylar is a bit different, but I definitely see the comparison in how they were received by audiences. I wont get into it any further for now because I do have a planned video where I discuss the two.
@@samfilmkid Did you seriously just describe Skyler, of all people on Breaking Bad, as "selfish and unlikable"?! WTF is the Skyler hate about? Especially when Walt is right there!
@@ivanacvetanovic7611 Lol, I was talking about Sally. Read my comment again, please. I compared her to Skyler in terms of fan backlash only.
The way you talk about Nohobal 😭😭😭 We miss them 😞💔
the statue too 😭😭
Aside from Aristotle's 3 types of friendship, there are 4 types of love, as the Greeks understood it. Phileo, storgoi, agape and eros. If you are a hunter who hunts where bears live, you know all about storgoi. :)
Thank you for the extra knowledge! I appreciate it and I'm sure other viewers will as well
Always a fan of well-done video essays. Subscribed, will be following your content going forward.
Thank you so much! I REALLY appreciate it. I put a lot of work into these and I'm just super grateful for all the support I've been getting lately.
Comments like this bring me SO MUCH joy and really push me to make these videos the best I can.
I just realized. Barry is desperately longing for a normal life, while Sally is the opposite , not wanting to settle for anything but stardom for most of the show. In the end she goes with him to run away from the failure ( in her eyes, could have had a great paying job afterall) she doesn't want to live with.
agreed!! it is a very interesting contrast within the relationship and really illustrates why they fundamentally cant work.
that was really good, please keep it up, and i'm sure your channel will start growing fast once the word gets out!
Thank you so much!! I REALLY appreciate the support
Immediately covered my face after you mentioned Hank and Cristobal 😂

@@FilmsProphet you're very talented and your analytical view brings a lot to the discussion about the show and characters, and most importantly on the dynamics between.
Sally: *yells at Barry*
Barry: *yells back at Sally*
Sally: ***surprised Pikachu face***
im deaaaddd 🤣🤣😭😭
amazing video
Deeply appreciated!! Thank you so much!!
Great analysis of Barry
thank you so much!! the support means the world to me.
@@FilmsProphet Don’t mention it you keep up the great work.
Just subbed. Great content 👍
thank you so much!! im sorry for my late answer, i had a lot to take care of in my personal life, but the support really really means the world to me!
Hi, at 2:46 - where did you get this info, please? Fuches was a cook in the Army, stateside; he never saw combat.
In season 1 ep 2 "Use It" Fuches says to Barry "I swore an oath to your dad that I wouldnt let the world all over you. Its repayment for him saving my ass in 'Nam". To which Barry replies "During 'Nam"
The correction implies that while Barry's dad did save him, it was not in combat.
Quality video here.
thank you!!! truly means so much 🙏🙏
Oh my god this video is so succulent 😩
Thank you(?) This is definitely the first time I hear this about one of my vids but I appreciate it!
19:49 Oh no
😂😂😂
Great essay bro, Ik u say in bio ur bad at editing but one simple thing is to make sure the clips u sample relatively match ur voice over, the clips u had were very loud. Anyways, I plan one making video essays myself when work slows down, but for now enjoy my podcasts , I’d love for u to guest star on one of my episodes
I subscribed with both this channel and my personal channel!
you've got yourself a new subscriber in me. cant wait to see what you put out and thank you for the advice and support!
we can definitely plan that out!! is there a more convenient place to discuss this for you?
What is that music at 11:15? Used to know it but can’t remember now.
that would be Change For The World by Charles Bradley! Barry uses it as the main theme
@@FilmsProphet Thanks. Appreciate it.
Lol just finished this series last week... had to check the time period this was posted when i got to Hank and Cristobal 😢
yeahhhh that didn't age too well 🤣 when that happened during s4 i was like "hmmm... maybe i should have precised how far into the show i wrote this..."
currently working on a video that addresses that though!
@FilmsProphet lol loved the breakdown though! Thanks for the hard work!
you just read poetics - you philo major
Pretty accurate!
i find thith thow dethhhhpicable!!
Sorry to hear. Hope you find something that's more for you 🙏
@@FilmsProphet nah but fr this show is the best current running show atm
