She figured out Don to his very soul in just the few times they've seen each other. She even says "You don't wanna run away with me, you just want to run away".
I think the show kinda implied Rachel was his one true love, he has flashbacks about her after he learns of her passing. She was definitely his match, intellectually.
It took me a long time to realize this but the show started here because of her, not because of Lucky Strike or anything else. She's the one that made ripples in the otherwise calm waters and set in motion the unraveling of Don's facade of a life. Ultimately him going back for her, finding out she's passed away was a piece of the puzzle which tied the shredding of both the Don and Dick personalities, allowing for a new person who could actually feel loved, understand what it means and creating that Coke commercial.
The worst part about this show is the pseudo-intellectuals in every comment section that write an essay about every piece of dialogue they hear. Yes, the show has symbolism, but you guys constantly flood the comments with shit like this and just make it so pretentious. 99.9% of the time, everyone gets the symbolism and here comes some random guy in the comments that states the obvious and thinks he’s some genius arm-chair psychologist.
She’s a great actress. I have seen her in Sons of anarchy and her character in that one and this one is totally different and she nailed two different characters perfectly
@@srinidhiacharla1766 she's in sons of anarchy?? now scrambling to find clips, I've never seen it. In a way though, I always want her to be this character.
It's also the strangest commentary I've heard. "She's a jew and he is a privileged white guy... he handled the situation really well... the wide shot was worth it" Nothing relates to anything or makes any sense. Such a bizarre video xD
You want to look at the way the Vanderbilts and Jays got started ..not to mention the land speculation and vote buying of the Kennedys.. the lost Vote boxes of LB Johnson.. Bill and Hillary's land speculation deals in Little Rock... most of the upper end of the US wealth is built on dead boys in Vietnam, corruption and fraud. .. the up side is that in the UK and Russia it is a lot worse....
He doesn't say privileged, he says waspy. Also he said Don had expected to handle the situation well, not that he did. Work on your listening comprehension buddy, then his commentary will make more sense.
I think the commentary at the end is either the director or the writer of the episode. Which makes all the comments below about how "He doesn't understand Mad Men and doesn't get the point of the dialog" so freaking hilarious
it's not the truth, that's the point in unfolding Don Draper. He can't see the truth or is too afraid to feel, which was common in men in that decade. Love has been the biggest motivation for everything before societies were formed
@@christinamasberg how do you know men of that era were afraid to feel?who gives you the right to say? they just did not go on about feelings the whole time or bully people into talking about their feelings in a sefish way..and love is often a construction and a fantasy. as Don says there are rules and its folly to pretend there are not.There are rules still,,,buy a house, dog, baby, rinse and repeat.Real love is different and love was really not the motivation in hunter gatherer societies or feudal ones. read some history ..actually maybe not, you might not like it....people were not living their best lives
@@cattyelse2372 I studied sociology, history and film, and the emotional and psychological effect of war times and serving are so well researched. Don Draper is an excellently written and excellently played example of a broken man. We might mean the same thing. Every era of humanity, every culture, every society had a different way and different coping mechanism to deal with emotions. Don trying to find safety and peace while being wired to live in danger and to run is what the dynamic of the 50s was about: Trying to suppress and forget the terror and play family and harmony instead of dealing with the trauma. Humanity just didn't know how to help the veterans. Or anyone to find real mental health in that time.
Jews in the US and particularly in NYC had an established yet false reputation at this time. Not the enemy but maybe a roadblock that needed a certain way or influence. Hence Roger trying to find a Jewish employee at SC for the meeting. A reformed, secular Jewish business person wouldn’t care or may even see it as tone deaf and trying too hard. They just wanted to do business with the best people and not have to deal with the dog and pony show
A feeling of dislocation, alienation, inability to connect with other people due to bigotry. She sees that Don has a similar outlook (due to his childhood abandonment and literal imposter syndrome).
@Stone Celtden He pretends to fit in with that privileged wealthy wasp society. They don't notice, or don't care. He sometimes forgets he is pretending. She cannot pretend. They will always notice and care. She can never forget. He is made very aware of what he does and doesn't have in common with her. It hits him all at once. That's the point and that's why it's mentioned.
Its nice when a lady realizes that for all the talk of a paternal society and male privilege...that, yeah, it ain't no piece of cake for us, either. Not everything gets handed to us, we too get the "so what have you done for us lately?" attitude as well. The older we get, the more Pete Cambells we have to battle. We get batted around like the pinball as well, as our employers get sold. It is easyER, but it isn't EASY.
I saw a scene from the movie "Oklahoma Crude" in which Faye Dunaway says to George C.Scott, "It isn't easy being a woman". Scott replies with, "It's not so hot being a man either".
To quote ol' Kenny Cosgrove: “It's my job to take them to dinner at 80 miles an hour. It's my job to stop a mile from the restaurant so they can have five pounds of crab legs and three bottles of beer apiece and then go get prime rib. It's my job to go hunting so they can fire off their guns an inch from my ear and laugh when I get startled because It's. My. Job."
@@applescruff1969 to misquote Mission Impossible, if you wish to accept this assignment....you will find women who believe in these gender roles. And that's perfectly fine for the man who goes out and works to be the breadwinner, the "bring home the bacon part of the pig" man. And others will find the type of woman who agrees with their own life assessment. We all find what we are looking for in life, so thank goodness it offers a rich variety. :)
Why does that low shot at the end matter? Why was it "worth it"? Is it to create a feeling of vulnerability? That the world is bigger than us, to mirror Drapers feeling of having the rug pulled out from under him, even if just a little?
When I first saw this episode, I cringed. If you were to say this to a woman today. You'd get told to MYOB and the drink thrown at you. To me, it shows Don is still living in the dark ages. And Rachel is being her own person. Not a Feminist. A person choosing her destiny....
Don's ego is something else. He declares he invented love lol. Even though love is stupid and all, it is part of human existence. he may have commercialize it, package and shine it, it was always there. Why do we have fucking poetry, songs, novels...etc? When I was younger, I used to watch Don's rumblings like the smartest things in the world. But they are just self serving effigy he is presenting to the world. He lives like there is no tomorrow? Please. Don is the most calculating sob in the world. He complains about rules then he works like a slave. But he is smart. He knows the image he is presenting gets results. That's all that matters. He gets to get in the pants of the women he lays his eyes on. That's much more than most men can succeed in doing.
The commentary on this is some really bad analysis. Clearly, Don is taken aback by the fact that she knows the real man. The disconnected man who sees the whole world the way other people live it, because he has always had to live this fake double life. It is why she is the first to learn about his real parents later on in the season. It is her that he runs to when his two worlds collide together. This commentary was some real BS though.
Rachel was the hottest woman on that show. Was there a problem she couldn't handle? (Now someone will say health issues.) People carry on about Faye Miller. But I always thought Rachel was great!
Hey buddy the comments section? It's for comments. Also, you comments are way off base. She's 10X more sophisticated than him. Not "equals." That's what this scene is about. (I know because i've been there)

Thought my schizophrenia finally kicked in
😂💯🙌

The only woman in the show to see Don for what he was and dump him before he caused too much damage.
Bingo. Most commenters are like, "they are soulmates," and "she was the perfect match for him." All wrong.
She still couldn't resist that sweet taste of ham... ;)
But Don has more options.😂
@@jackjax7921 so?
I thought Meghan understood him. But they were from different generations and didn't have enough in common to make it as a couple

I don't why, this comment made me laugh so much... Very rarely it happens
She's a broody business type herself that's why they get along so well.

Look at you big college word man
She figured out Don to his very soul in just the few times they've seen each other. She even says "You don't wanna run away with me, you just want to run away".
I love how it's so random that the commentary starts midway through and people are just complaining about it xDDD
And here I was thinking my VLC app unlocked the commentaries

I could have done without the commentary, yea.

@AndroidPolitician not even don draper wasn't wealthy or anything but once Dick took his identity he worked his way up to wealth

That's the point. It's commentary. It's supposed to give you an insight into the filmmaker's mind (or, in this case, TV show-maker).
Wild how this “Don” is just a facade and he’s truly in deep deep pain
Is this entire show just an ad for cigarettes?
This scene got me hooked on the show
Bro, have the commentary before or after the video not during. How do you mess up that bad..?
It's clipped from director's commentary. How are you that dense?
What's with the commentary. Lol
i thought i was waking up from a dream
ohh my god, I didn't expect that. I though that my brain is start talking again.. good thing it's on the video
Draper is cynical as he is arrogant. Mad Men was brilliant in making you find such contemptible people so entertaining to watch.

He is just playing the clip....of the director's commentary. Not too bright, are you?
Geezus. At least warn us there’s a commentary in the title. I’m making sure the UA-cam algorithm doesn’t recommend this channel.
anyone know the lovely song playing in the background?
Here's the mute point to save you all from that sudden and sullen commentary 3:15 Thank me later.
I think I can under what the hell is going on, thank you.
The misspelled subtitles and the sudden interruption of personal opinion wasn’t needed. Ruined the clip and train of thought.
I think the commentary is from someone who worked with the movie. "WE hade to take the smokedetectors off the celeing..."
Is this the directors cut....?
...AND HER "BEING A jEW", UM, DOESN'T REALLY COME INTO PLAY.
Its a middle east thing😂
What episode
No John you aren’t born alone and most don’t die alone
I hear lot of ”live your live, forget the rules”-type of quotes
But what rules are they talking about? The law? Or table manners? Pls help
The monologue was awesome
Is this a directors commentary?
Not happy about the commentary near the end
A guy saying "What you call love was invented by guys like me to sell nylons" really shouldn't be that hot
Hey dude I really like the analysis you did at the end !

You can see all the incels who just hate this scene in the dislike bar lmao
No, the dislike is for the commentary analysis
Just think ...maybe don was born to invent love ...and he doesn't know it
I thought I forgot to log out of a zoom meeting for a second
There's no tomorrow? It has been a tomorrow for for me everyday day for 26 years now, so there's probably another tomorrow.

what’s name this movie?

If she thinks it was hard being a man then, she should have a look at now😳
Probably the scariest video on UA-cam
Don started talking dumb innapropriate shit on a date. Sounded almost like me.
1:12 that second look. Damn 💘
Hey buddy the comments section? It's for comments. Also, you comments are way off base. She's 10X more sophisticated than him. Not "equals." That's what this scene is about. (I know because i've been there)
You ruined the video by speaking
False.
He ruined the video by being born.
Someone needs to go back in time and tell his dad, "Better out than in, I always say."
Text at the bottom of the screen is a pointless distraction.
best scene in szn 1 imo
He dosent believe his own cynicism
why are there so many dislikes?
because hes an idiot. were not born alone, and love has existed since the dawn of humanity
beebo I agree. The scene is good tho.
