Cutting this out of the film makes absolutely no sense because it shows that Evan himself is a flawed person it shows the conviction for the wrongdoing he had done. It makes him more human than what the film does. It's very hard to even tell if he learns anything by the end of the film without this song, he tells the truth people stop talking to him but Jared still seems to be friends with him and Zoe seems to forgive him towards the end but again, it feels to cut and dry if they had added this song it would have showed the heavy weight of guilt that he might have felt for what he had done and how he himself has become the monster that he didn't want to be. Not to mention it's actually a really good song.
That's the whole reason why I recorded the movie, I was so excited to hear the song in the movie but was so disappointed when I found out it wasn't included.. I'll still watch it tho
You know, I thought so too, but then I realized they had to cut it because there was no way anyone would tolerate Evan's character. "Well it's not my fault other people can [give me a life better than you, Mom" is maybe the most evil thing I've heard a character say to someone absolutely crushed and sobbing, and Evan is to blame for how his mother is feeling in the preamble to this song. It's like he killed a dog. There's no coming back from it.
@@MaggotfilledFlesh in my opinion I feel like it's Connors parents fault if a child has a major anxiety disorder let them get there words out before interrupting they led him into the lie so they can't really get mad other than it went on for too long
@@Lucifermorningstar883but she gave him therapy.. I think he needs to be sat down and explained that therapy is supposed to help him not label him as insane
@@iikoifishii7893 yes she did give him therapy but therapy does not fix the anxiety disorder connors parents would not let him speak therfore he went along with everything they said because they were devastated given he couldve came clean sooner and he tried he wasnt in the right eitherin the book he hallucinates connors ghost who convinces him to continue to lie
@@beckettmaffei waving through a window is good but other than some hazy moving heads and people walking about much it doesn’t have much visual intrigue for me
The scene where Evan amd his mom are arguing is so real and uncomfortable Evan deserves getting called out for being a shit human being and good for you is the perfect song to do so
It's a really funny part cause he sounds weird when he says it almost like he doesn't mean it I love how the actor had that little hint of a joke in his voice when he said it
If I have to guess, it's probably because of the mention of that line in the libretto. Ppl wanted to check again to make out the "helpless, heartbroken little kid" after reading that comment.
I saw Michael and Garrett on for Ben and Rachel. They are incredible!!! So much intensity with the acting in this scene. Truly the ultimate F*** YOU anthem ever written.
So you found a place where the grass is greener And you jumped the fence to the other side Is it good? Are they giving you a world I could never provide? Well I hope you're proud of your big decision Yeah, I hope it's all that you want and more Now you're free from the agonizing life you were living before And you say what you need to say So that you get to walk away It would kill you to have to stay trapped When you've got something new Well I'm sorry I had it rough And I'm sorry I'm not enough Thank God they rescued you So you got what you always wanted So you got your dream come true Good for you Good for you, you, you Got a taste of a life so perfect So you did what you had to do Good for you Good for you Does it cross your mind to be slightly sorry? Do you even care that you might be wrong? Was it fun? Well I hope you had a blast while you dragged me along And you say what you need to say And you play who you need to play And if somebody's in your way Crush them and leave them behind Well I guess if I'm not of use Go ahead, you can cut me loose Go ahead now, I won't mind I'll shut my mouth and I'll let you go Is that good for you? Would that be good for you, you, you? I'll just sit back while you run the show Is that good for you? Would that be good for you, you, you? All I need is some time to think But the boat is about to sink Can't erase what I wrote in ink Tell me how could you change the story? All the words that I can't take back Like a train coming off the track 'Cause the rails and my bones all crack I've got to find a way to Stop it, stop it! Just let me out! So you got what you always wanted So you got your dream come true Good for you Good for you, you, you Got a taste of a life so perfect Now you say that you're someone new Good for you Good for you Good for you Good for you
Saw this in March then made the mistake to watch the film version. So glad to see it here, as i remember it irl. Needed to scrub my brain of the film version.
@@saidcisneros2933screw Ben Platt. They shouldn't have asked Marc Platt to produce the movie. It was nepotism and I think they should have cast one of the understudies to play Evan and make Ben have a cameo.
I seriously hope they try to remake the movie in the future and don't soften the story. It pissed me off that they removed "Anybody Have a Map?", "Disappear" and this song. It completely changed the course of the entire story.
i love this song. I dont udnerstand why they cut it out of the movie. They just wanted to paint evan as a perfect little boy who just made a simple mistake in the movie i guess. i like the movie but this kind of gets on my nerves
Alanna always bugged me like why is she so mad at him? She literally forced her involvement unlike with jared Evan never went up to her to ask for help she just wants to be in everyone’s business and come on it was only one project u don’t know someone just from doing a project together
yeah, then i feel like she got pissed at him for a very little reason, when jared and evan's mom have valid reasons to be pissed off. i never really liked alana
I don’t know for sure if this is true, but I heard the main reason they cut this song from the movie was because Julianne Moore couldn’t sing it well enough.
They could've found a way to make it worse. Part of me feels like the removed this song from the movie as a way to make Evan a more sympathetic character. That honestly makes zero sense considering that Evan is practically a sociopath
Why do i actually like Michael WAY more than Ben? Ben always seemed to be acting, like, ACTING, the role. Whereas i feel Michael actually just IS that awkward. Plus the voice. Micheal is my Evan.
I love this song when Evan finally get's everything put to him but Elena’s character always bothered me. She forced her way into becoming president and I think it's true of what Evan said. She thought she knew him only because she was once partners with him during their chemistry class. I truthfully don't feel Elena gotten betrayed I think she just regrets helping because of the stress Evan lies has caused her. This song has always been my favorite and it bums me out how it wasn't in the movie. The movie also missed it's chance in possibly making Alana’s character more inept. And the movie was bad-- I feel like I could've maybe enjoyed the movie if they gave Evan flaws and didn't try making him seem like a perfect person or a emotionally damaged baby. Also I wish they got a younger actor for his role too. . This song shown how truly fucked up Evan was for doing such things and lying about someone who wasn't all that good. Although he did help Conner's family it was all taken from them once Evan told the truth in Words Fail. Evan is a good realistic character filled with flaws - it felt like something that could happened, they shown in the song how his flaws negatively impacted what he done and how it wasn't an excuse while the movie only used Evan's flaws as an excuse, he barely even faced consequences. This is why the original musical will always be better than the movie and why I think this song was so perfect showing what the characters thought of his flaws and what he done.
Very hypocritical of Alanna to say Evan dragged her along. Umm, you inserted yourself into Evan's agenda. He didn't coerce or persuade you to join him. It was of your own will. Stop playing victim!

This is my fave song. I’m quite disappointed with the movie.
That's the whole reason why I recorded the movie, I was so excited to hear the song in the movie but was so disappointed when I found out it wasn't included.. I'll still watch it tho
Yea it’s good development and is one of my favorites from the musical so was very disappointed that it was cut.
This and anybody have a map. They did Evans mom wrong. 😢

the audience muttering after evan said it's not his fault other people can, god i'd be so nervous if i was playing him lmao

Fun fact: in the libretto for Dear Evan Hansen, the stage direction for Jared’s “fuck you” line is “(Like a helpless, heartbroken little kid):”
Other than You Will Be Found, this song visually is the best on stage
Nah, Waving Through a Window is pretty good.
@@beckettmaffei waving through a window is good but other than some hazy moving heads and people walking about much it doesn’t have much visual intrigue for me
@@waddellar the staging of actors in the song is probably the best part about it
The scene where Evan amd his mom are arguing is so real and uncomfortable
Evan deserves getting called out for being a shit human being and good for you is the perfect song to do so
I think it’s very funny that the most replayed part of the video is Jared saying “fuck you evan, asshole”
Lmao, that's actually really funny to think about.
It's a really funny part cause he sounds weird when he says it almost like he doesn't mean it I love how the actor had that little hint of a joke in his voice when he said it
its cus we love jared here

3:58 Jared did a whole ballerina dance
If you notice Evan is singing along with the others in the end right after he has his solo part
3:48 OH MY GOSH THE BACKGROUND HARMONIES HAVE ME SHAKING IN MY BOOTS RIGUT NOW.
Umm...
Can we redo the movie with them and keep this song?
WAIT THEY GOT RID OF GOOD FOR YOU IN THE MOVIE? WTF :(
@@jokoplush420 yes, they did and they also dropped "Disappear" from the movie as well
@@andressmith8952 THAT'S CONNORS SONG I CAN'T BELIEVE IT D:
IKR OMG
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING!!! There was one point in the opening where the band was playing a snippet of it, but waaaaaay better if they got this in
I saw Michael and Garrett on for Ben and Rachel. They are incredible!!! So much intensity with the acting in this scene. Truly the ultimate F*** YOU anthem ever written.
This performance was beautifully done.
This is my favourite song from the entire show
This is my favorite DEH song
I wish they would add this masterpiece to the movie
I saw this in April, was my first show. They kicked ass it felt like a fever dream
there performance is amazing
So you found a place where the grass is greener
And you jumped the fence to the other side
Is it good?
Are they giving you a world I could never provide?
Well I hope you're proud of your big decision
Yeah, I hope it's all that you want and more
Now you're free from the agonizing life you were living before
And you say what you need to say
So that you get to walk away
It would kill you to have to stay trapped
When you've got something new
Well I'm sorry I had it rough
And I'm sorry I'm not enough
Thank God they rescued you
So you got what you always wanted
So you got your dream come true
Good for you
Good for you, you, you
Got a taste of a life so perfect
So you did what you had to do
Good for you
Good for you
Does it cross your mind to be slightly sorry?
Do you even care that you might be wrong?
Was it fun?
Well I hope you had a blast while you dragged me along
And you say what you need to say
And you play who you need to play
And if somebody's in your way
Crush them and leave them behind
Well I guess if I'm not of use
Go ahead, you can cut me loose
Go ahead now, I won't mind
I'll shut my mouth and I'll let you go
Is that good for you?
Would that be good for you, you, you?
I'll just sit back while you run the show
Is that good for you?
Would that be good for you, you, you?
All I need is some time to think
But the boat is about to sink
Can't erase what I wrote in ink
Tell me how could you change the story?
All the words that I can't take back
Like a train coming off the track
'Cause the rails and my bones all crack
I've got to find a way to
Stop it, stop it! Just let me out!
So you got what you always wanted
So you got your dream come true
Good for you
Good for you, you, you
Got a taste of a life so perfect
Now you say that you're someone new
Good for you
Good for you
Good for you
Good for you

I have listened to this song for I don’t know how many times, but seeing the live action version of it still makes me cry.
WHY WOULD THEY CUT THIS FROM THE MOVIE KSHSHSHDF
Supposedly the goal was to immortalize Platts performance. So things were cut
@@saidcisneros2933screw Ben Platt.
They shouldn't have asked Marc Platt to produce the movie. It was nepotism and I think they should have cast one of the understudies to play Evan and make Ben have a cameo.
2:04 hits so hard
Fr😭 Alana, overall, just hits so hard as a character
i saw this back in august and i cried at this song and my mum cried at so big so small lmao
Screw Marc Platt for cutting this song out of thus film just to put his son (Ben Platt) up on a pedestal
I seriously hope they try to remake the movie in the future and don't soften the story. It pissed me off that they removed "Anybody Have a Map?", "Disappear" and this song.
It completely changed the course of the entire story.
Cutting this song made the movie worse ):
Seriously, this is one of the most important songs in the whole musical
Significantly worse
@@lonely_theatre_kid I guess you can say "Disappear"..... disappeared
When Jared says that line F*** YOU EVAN, ASSHOLE.... The first time I saw the show, I thought he was going to call Evan the R word.
R word?
@@קרןקליפה the r slur im pretty sure
@@jokoplush420 Which is the "r" word? sorry, english is not my first language, i'm a bit confused
@@heyhoney3080 I believe they mean the R slur for mentally handicapped.
@@heyhoney3080 it’s r*tard, I censored it bc UA-cam deletes it
I am salty that they added a new song to cut this one. Like, sincerely I didn't like Anonymous Ones. 😭
when was this? at first I thought Will had returned to Jared hahah
OBC. Michael is an altnerate Evan(And well every other male character)
i love this song. I dont udnerstand why they cut it out of the movie. They just wanted to paint evan as a perfect little boy who just made a simple mistake in the movie i guess. i like the movie but this kind of gets on my nerves

I don’t know for sure if this is true, but I heard the main reason they cut this song from the movie was because Julianne Moore couldn’t sing it well enough.
that just makes me wonder why they didn’t just cast they broadway actors who can actually sing and have done it like hundreds of times.
They could've found a way to make it worse. Part of me feels like the removed this song from the movie as a way to make Evan a more sympathetic character. That honestly makes zero sense considering that Evan is practically a sociopath
I love and live for Jared’s part
i love will roland sm
I know Jared’s not preaching to anyone

@@MaggotfilledFleshNope. The girl you're talking about is named Alana. Heidi is the name of Evan's mom, she sings the first verse of the song.
is it just me or when evan is walking in a circle just before the stop it stop it he looks constipated 🤣🤣
Very hypocritical of Alanna to say Evan dragged her along.
Umm, you inserted yourself into Evan's agenda. He didn't coerce or persuade you to join him. It was of your own will. Stop playing victim!
