What is Dear Evan Hansen (2021) about?
A screen adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, Tony, Grammy and Emmy award winning Ben Platt (Pitch Perfect films) reprises his role as Evan Hansen, an anxious, isolated high-school student who's aching for understanding and belonging amid the chaos and cruelty of the social media age. He soon embarks on a journey of self-discovery when a letter he wrote for a writing exercise falls into the hands of a grieving couple whose son took his own life.

ben’s voice is something else- the talent is unbelievable
His voice is something else: bad. I don't believe in his talent either.
@@darkprose i cant even be upset with your comment because the way you’ve written it is bloody hilarious- keep being a pessimist joseph your sarcasm is beautiful 😭
Well I think his voice is an angel 😇
@@darkprose no way. Ben platt is incredible. But I respect your opinion.
@@mayapera4423 He do be needing that autotune xD
The way he says "he comes to get me" makes me so teary each time, that line hits like a truck
Especially after you see the end
Like the truck in the driveway 😭
@@Seaweed_Brain345My heart was not prepared for that comment, but, well played.
He portrays social anxiety in a way for any one can understand and him singing is his way of communicating without thinking of what others think.
Your profile pic is Dex!
He wouldn’t be singing irl this is him he talking
😂😂 first of all, Platt is a 30 year old man, and no one can relate to a 30 yo man who knows what he is doing is wrong, and someone no one can relate to. the only reason he got casted was because his father was in the production team. second of all, he sings like if he were crying and singing at the same time.
@@user-hk9nd3cu6r quite literally the point of a lot of the scenes is that he's having big emotions, so the crying thing is perfect. People can have other opinions
@@katrinapierce9386 He sings like that in general. I've seen him sing outside dear evan hansen related stuff.
anyone who tells me this song don't give them chills and teary eyes, must not have feelings, cause I've listened to so many versions of it and they all do give me chills
It’s one of my favorite moments in the whole movie.
Well when the song is about the made up friendship with a boy who killed himself and the boy who’s using that death to get a girlfriend then it’s kinda hard to feel those feelings
I had tears after almost every song he sang
What Evan does to these people, the way he takes their grief and feeds off it isn't touching or sad. Vampiric comes to mind. Evan Hansen is the second worst thing that has happened to this vulnerable family. This movie makes me feel many things like embarrassment, pity, anger. The reason you enjoy it is because you don't understand it.
@@aidanfarber33 Bingo.
You know what's sad? This musical is all about social anxiety and mental health, and people are so focused on how he looks creepy that they fail to see the deeper meaning behind the music. I went to hs with ppl who looked far older than their age. Ben played this role perfectly. I was lucky enough to never have to deal with social anxiety or depression (depression hit when i was older) in hs but he played the part so well that I felt his anxiety through the screen and music and only a truly talented artist could do that.
Never had a true word been spoken. Well said Erica. X
I feel like his performance is less sincere in the movie than the musical
Respectfully, just because something talks about an important subject that doesn’t automatically make it good or well made. Ben Platt’s a great performer but even despite the make up, his performance really isn’t appropriate for a film adaptation especially when you look at how everyone else around him is acting. The screen and film and two different mediums and I don’t think he really differentiated the two during this entire movie.
@@Platinum400please stop Ben did great he’s been in plenty of films and he’s always been great
@@BookOfBap Well he didn’t in this one according to critics and tons of people online feel that way as well. That’s why he wasn’t nominated for the Oscar this movie was trying to get him so desperately.
He's singing live in these shots, you can hear the echo of the room. If I was his coactors it would be almost impossible to stay in character because I would just stare in awe at the oh so close performance .
I think they might have edited the sound to make it seem like hes singing live
@charlieneedshelp989 oh...oh well...he's still amazing
They kind of do look at him in awe. The father looks like he's going to cry
Aren't they all great?
@@michelleelizabeth9891they are actors remembering their dead son
I love the part “shines on my face” - no vibrato but full of emotions ❤️
The way he holds the last "way" at the end always gets me, too.
When he said to his mom, he didnt fall and that he let go. I cried a lot. 😢
He sounds like it literally takes him no effort to sing all of these songs. I know he's sung them for a long time but he's so talented
He’s too old.
Fun Fact: Every Song onscreen was recorded LIVE.
I like that the did that. You can hear the raw emotion in the songs, just like they did on broadway.
Give me a brake come on🥲
@@tetchy9987 Brake like the car lever or Break like taking a pause?
makes sense, I always wondered why it sounded diferently
Amazing, amazing singers ♥️
"He's come to get me" THAT PART HAS MY HEART
Ben Platt looks like he's translating ASL without knowing ASL
i’m sorry this is killing me why is this so accurate
What asl?
Nevermind
You mean with the way he was moving his arms around? Probably part of the Evan Hanson character
I think the character is meant to have borderline Asperger's or is autistic. Its never mentioned in the play, but in interviews and everything they have stated it a few times. I think he was mimicking the mannerisms.
1 year later and I still think this majestic and beautiful song is the best peice of music played in broadway
I dont care what anyone says, this movie was brilliant, and i loved every second of it. Had me bawling on many occasions and having Ben in it was a great casting decision imo ❤😢
I absolutely do not understand those people saying that he looks old or that he looks cringey. A) he is older but we all know that 16-year olds have been played by 25+ -year olds since the beginning of movies. He does not look distractingly older in my opinion, he looks very in place. B) HE IS A KID THAT HAD TO LIE TO GET EVEN ONE PERSON TO BE THEIR FRIEND! It is absolutely realistic that he does not look 100% like your typical teenager. Evan Hansen would be a weirdo if he existed and not a cool weirdo.If he looked cool would he have to lie to get friends? Nope. We can see that as the story progresses and he gets some more confidence he stops looking so weird. Ben's depiction of this vulnerable kid is incredible. His performance is superb both vocally and as an actor. Without Ben, this movie wouldn't have been the same.
@evamakri9694 couldn't of put it any better myself
@@evamakri9694 Platt's casting makes Evan's character look even worse. What Evan does in this film is absolutely awful and reprehensible. But the audience is able to go easy on him since he's supposed to be this mentally ill and naive teenager who didn't think all of this through. But because of how old Platt looks, I just see this grown man-child trying to become close with a dead kids family. It makes Evan come off as a sociopath
@@evamakri9694The weird things they did to “deage” him is what makes him ironically look older and is the reason people complain. If they didn’t do it it would have been better
1:48 THAT SIDE EYE. i’m obsessed, he’s essentially calling her some kind of word in his mind💀
He is such a great actor and even better singer. What a talented man!
Wholeheartedly agree 👍
Everyone says he looks to old and this movie was bad like no he created the role it is made for him and also I know dudes in high school who look twice his age in this. He is truly an incredible actor and this movie deserved a better response
My dad had grey hair in high school. Platt looks fine
Ben was amazing in the film as he was on broadway. He has Evan Hansen down to a T, capturing his social anxiety and personal struggles. His voice is just incredible.
I think he can be passed as a 17-year-old. Not all teenagers are Babyfaced. I wish people would stop being so ageist as that wasn’t an issue before in films and appreciate how talented Ben really is.
It’s not really ageist when he’s not the age he’s playing. It’s more just a fact. He does well, but no reason to label it ageist lol
I agree. Because of all of the ridicule about him not looking young, I went into the movie thinking I had to pretend he was a teen. I bought it right away. I'm a high school teacher and I have lots of students who have that awkward look to themselves that he has. If I didn't know he was 27, I wouldn't have known.
This movie was exactly what I wanted it to be. Phenomenal translation of the show to the screen.
I think the issue is he looked like a creepy old man in make up where as the kids around him looked their age . In Greece every one was old so it was not as jarring. He has amazing voice and must have looked great in Broadway though
Omg. If your 15 year old daughter brought home a guy who looked like him, you’d actually assume he’s a teenager? Lol
No wonder there are so many statutory rapists. People are too dumb to tell how old they really are
@@JRS0824 There are 30 year olds that play 17 year olds in many shows and movies. Most of the time actors aren’t the age they portray, especially ones set in high school.
i noticed in the part where he said, "girls we wish would notice us" or something like that. he looked over at zoe and continued. i loved that part. its not only that one part i love. i love this whole song.
I hate that he got so much hate for this role. He literally fits it perfectly!! I had so many kids in my school that looked just like him haha.
AHAHAHAHAH
why did he get hate?
Because he’s a 30 year old adult playing a 19 year old, & his dad was one of the two reasons he got casted, & he looks like a fucking snapping turtle.
@@marythewinter they claimed that he was too creepy and that he was overaged to play a tree loving kid with anxiety and depression
He actually plays him in the broadway show
was it just me or did anybody else cry from ben platts prefomance? if im being honest every time i listen to a Dear Evan Hansen songs or watch the movie i ball my eyes out but that doesnt stop me from not watching or listening to Dear Evan Hansen. Thank you Ben Platt, Amy adams, Kaitlyn Dever, Danny Pino, etc. for this movie
Such a positive message. Probably my most favorite piece in the musical and film. There are people who would do such enormously appalling things just to belong. Touching. Moving. Heartfelt.
I may be interpreting it incorrectly, but to me this is a very sad piece of music. He's imaging what it would be like to have a friend who cared about him. He's fantasising about what it would be like to have a best friend.
He's also lying to Connor's parents about their dead son🙈
@@rachelhatton6712 Yes and yes. He's so emotionally broken and lonely he's willing to plunge himself and this family into wild delusions so that he can live a fantasy of belonging. It's beautifully disgusting and desperately hopeful.
He's literally lying to them.
@@neomargs and to himself too
his voice is so clear, and I love his emotions, really make me cry
the end there with Amy Addams... it's heartbreaking, she makes a great mother 😢❤
Ben Platt can sing 🎶. I listen to these songs every day before work because they make me happy. I love all the songs I just wish Anybody Have a Map was in the movie.
Loved this song just realised there was a movie of this today and Ben played Evan soooo perfectly
4:20 Whether movie version, movie soundtrack version, Broadway version or cover, I love the execution of these next few verses
They make me feel like church praising
So many layers in this song. It was an amazing performance. I loved it!
I could listen to Ben sing all day.
This young man has a secret in his voice. It's that beautiful jewish temple vibrato and his acting ability to believe a story that is a lie but is also a wish he had always had ...to have a real friend.... especially on that specific day. It hits me like a ton of bricks. 😢
His voice is so beautiful.
This song makes me so sad, mainly cuz everything is a fucking lie, it's an Imaginary friend he wishes he had and for some reason I relate to that a lot, anxiety sucks
His voice and acting is absolutely outstanding.
This song touched my heart deeply.
I got goosebumps in this scene, I LOVE IT!!!
This is my second favourite Broadway song
What is first?
ben platt is just off this world i have no words
The main problem I have with this movie is the fact that the actors sound like they’re in sound proof rooms and not the actual surroundings that the movie shows.
He isn't blinking because he is outright lying to Connor's family. For Forever is a song about a friendship between Evan and Connor that doesn't exist. He is telling them a fictional story of how he got into an accident, telling the grieving family that Connor was with him at that time (which he isn't). Connor's mom believed it because she wanted it to be true, that Connor made a friend in Evan Hansen.
JEEZ HE REALLY ISNT BLINKING IM SO SCARED
But how does him not blinking correlate
@@ruby.6754Because he is lying straight to a grieving family’s face’s. The no blinking is body language of Evan straight up lying, along with the pauses he makes. He is doing this to ”help the family.” You can see this especially at the end of the song when Cynthia comes over to hug Evan, saying “thank you”.
@@AFCButPokemon I think it's more that Ben Platt is just concentrating on belting out the long notes lol.
@@sophie1564 I’m talking story
Stunningly performed. When artistry transcends the technique, so you don't notice it. Although recorded and mixed it feels live, as Ben perfectly displays the vulnerability of his character. So many superlatives I could use. I love this. Thank you Ben.
👏👏👏 I second that. How anyone could criticize this masterful performance is just proof that some people will never be satisfied with anything.
I loved it! I thought he was perfect in this role! Very convincing and sincere. Excellent!!!
“Quoting songs by our favorite bands” idk about yall but the cast of DEH is my favorite band ❤
I watch dear Evan Hansen 15 times and it’s help me get through life I have depression
Yes, this movie is awesome and underrated. Ben did a great job!
This was amazing he has such a pure voice and it’s effortless and it was a great movie shows that people just want to be seen and heard
I’ve never watched this film, but this really gave me chills…
"I see him come to get me, he's come to get me. And everything's okay" 😩😭
Incredible overall experience
I love is passion and insane vibrato. Ben Platt is one of the greatest singer of our generation
the facts that i can’t stop smiling listening to this song 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
hes so adorable i will forever love him. no matter who he plays, or what he sings, he so perfect.
This song is so powerful in a way I don't know how to describe. It makes me cry every time I listen to it
They way they keep talking even though he’s singing is so unsettling
It's because he's not really singing.. he's talking to them & singing in his head.
BEST MOVIE EVER
I have never seen this on Broadway, but I just saw the movie this week and I had no clue the actor playing Evan wasn't near teen age. I know a lot of people who look older than they are.
His acting with all the nuances, how he communicates the song is just perfect. People put out hate for this movie but this just shows the depth and quality of Ben's performance. The direction for this film was awful. So not fair to Ben.
great movie, he did a great job and I had no idea he was so much older. People just want to pick apart someone successful. Agree they may have waited a bit long to make the movie....but it's his role and always will be.
I saw this on Broadway when Ben Platt was playing Evan Hansen. It was expensive, but totally worth it.
I can suspend disbelief in movie musicals. Something about the way they shot this song it looks like he’s just quietly singing it to himself at the table
Ben Platt is a light in this world and his performance reflects that. Those who dont see that weren't or arent in evolution or a place to see that or werent meant to. No need to say anything else if not for you move on. Those who hear this ,affects their soul. And can takes steps to get heard, heal
The issue isn't his acting. The issue is that he clearly looked too old to be playing a high school student
How anyone could be critical if this performance is beyond me. I loved the movie and he was absolutely fantastic. I sobbed my heart out the first time I watched it. Delighted it’s there for all time. Was disappointed they dropped some of the “mom” songs though!! Always loved anyone have a map.
Too old.
@@johnrain7308 I disagree.
I absolutely love this musical!
This is how fast I can make up a lie in my head too.
Moved me to tears
this is beautiful
God I Love this part
Currently have a cold and a massive headache,but this song help immensely. I applied for my first job and have an interview on August 29th. :)
Very touching story about life opportunities
if you're STILL saying that Evan lied so he could get a girlfriend I'm going to assume you didn't pay attention to a single second of the story and that you just let the internet tell you what it's about
One of the better movies I’ve seen in a few years. I don’t care about the critics, they’re paid to be miserable and "edgy". This movie was so uplifting and also heartbreaking at times.
I just love him
My brother loves Ben Platt so so much!
This makes me cry 🥲😢
Incredible
One of the few examples of nepotism I’m all for! 😂❤
I'm back, this is the most beautiful shit I've ever heard.
End of May or early June
This picture-perfect afternoon we share
Drive the winding country road
Grab a scoop at À La Mode
And then we're there
An open field that's framed with trees
We pick a spot and shoot the breeze
Like buddies do
Quoting songs by our favorite bands
Telling jokes no one understands
Except us two
And we talk and take in the view
All we see is sky for forever
We let the world pass by for forever
Feels like we could go on for forever this way
Two friends on a perfect day
We walk a while and talk about
The things we'll do when we get out of school
Bike the Appalachian trail or
Write a book or learn to sail
Wouldn't that be cool?
There's nothing that we can't discuss
Like girls we wish would notice us but never do
He looks around and says to me
"There's nowhere else I'd rather be"
And I say, "Me too"
And we talk and take in the view
We just talk and take in the view
All we see is sky for forever
We let the world pass by for forever
Feels like we could go on for forever this way, this way
All we see is light for forever
'Cause the sun shines bright for forever
Like we'll be alright for forever this way
Two friends on a perfect day
And there he goes
Racing toward the tallest tree
From far across the yellow field I hear him calling, "Follow me" There we go
Wondering how the world might look from up so high
One foot after the other
One branch then to another
I climb higher and higher
I climb 'til the entire
Sun shines on my face
And I suddenly feel the branch give way
I'm on the ground
My arm goes numb
I look around
And I see him come to get me
He's come to get me
And everything's okay
All we see is sky for forever
We let the world pass by for forever
Buddy, you and I for forever this way, this way
All we see is light
'Cause the sun burns bright
We could be alright for forever this way
Two friends
True friends
On a perfect day
Respect
Been reading the comment section and realized they probably haven't seen the stage show yet
Ahhhh-mazing!
Yall i am balling
favourite song ❤
SPOILER ALERT:
This scene used to make me so angry that the quiet awkward kid could lie to this grieving family’s face and be so manipulative. I didn’t care what the excuse was or how socially anxious he was. But then I read a comment that really made me rethink this entire scene: that a young teenager who was suicidal reimagined that dark moment as Connor being there and helping him up instead of feeling so alone in one of the lowest moments of his life. That made me pity him, truthfully.
As someone if not very familiar with this musical, your comment has helped me reframe what is happening in this scene. Thank you for passing it forward.
He didn’t outright lie, Connor’s mom does now want to listen on Evan was saying in earlier scenes. Evan was lying because he was pressured to do so.
@@user-sv8dw4fm5o Exactly! Thank-you.
@@Ringohulk777I think that really is the intent specially when you realise this. when he tells his mom that he didn't fall but he let go. I cried so much.
Sem palavras para o descrever ...
내가 제일 좋아하는 곡
"like girls we wish would notice us" *Evan glances at zoe*
I understand why everyone doesn't like Ben Platt playing Evan but I love it. I like that Ben also has anxiety like Evan and his singing is truly spectacular. It makes him look like a teenager to me and since Evan gets bullied at school I do too because of my Autism and problems.
Larry: Zoe, go get the shotgun!
Zoe: But he’s still singing-
Larry: GET THE SHOTGUN!!!
하 다시 봐야지,,
His side eye to Zoe in "girls we wished would notice us but never do" is OSCAR WORTHY
I was Ben and still am 😢I'm married but no one really sees me. Just want me to listen to them talk bout themselves nonstop. Then get told why don't I be more confident
Can you do a little closer by Colton Ryan the song at the very end at the dear Evan Hanson film
This scene sounds great and is acted well by Ben. He's a very talented actor. It's just the hair and makeup. I wholeheartedly believe if they styled him to look like he did in The Politician (a great show btw) it would be far less distracting.
Or, just make it an animated movie and have Ben voice Evan. There is so much untapped potential that could be found if they made animated Broadway adaptations.
Still, I am one of the few people who think this is a pretty decent adaptation. It's not perfect. It has some glaring flaws, but it's still pretty faithful to the stage show (and yes, I've seen the touring cast).
a lot of people hate the plot of this story because "he's lying" and "he's a manipulator" but that's not how i see it.
it's the reason connors dead. his mom *doesn't listen* you see time and time again throughout this musical and is implied through Zoe that their mom *doesn't ever listen to anybody*
she didn't listen to connor when he was outwardly crying for help by acting out and being terrible, bouncing him from one treatment to the next.
she *doesn't listen* to evan when he tries to tell them that there's been a mistake. she *doesn't listen* when he tries to tell them that he didn't know connor just before this song. the only time she LISTENS is when he shouts that it's all spiraled out of control and it was all made up. that's the only time she listens, when evan actually sticks up for himself. and as someone like evan, speaking up to someone with higher authority than you is friggin terrifying. we really do need to talk about how cynthia is a main part of her sons death more :/
Do ‘Words Fail’ from this film!!
In hindsight, Ben is the perfect Evan but the biggest flaw is that the post-production makes him look like he's 35.
I found out a friend of mine took his own life today and immediately I thought of this song
BENNN
THIS IS COLD READING, EVAN IS COLD READING THE MURPHIES
?
It's really not. He's really not.
The only statement that the Murphys fill in details about is the orchard. You could call that some mixture between shotgunning and the Barnum effect, or you could just say, "He panicked and made a lucky guess". You know, like it says in the script.
It's also kind of *the point of the whole dang musical* that Evan creates his own version of Connor instead of trying to glean information.
Idk what people really think high school kids look like but when I was a senior 5 years ago some of the guys had full beards and receding hairlines. They looked like they were in their 30s😂
Can you please post "words fail"?
Was this sung live?
