@ it was just a good time. Around 2010 to 2013 approximately. I was very new to the film ministry. It was a very low budget show with minimal crew and minimal lighting. We all got to work with a lot of celebrities over those three years. From David Lynch to Jerry Seinfeld to Robin Williams. Some of the highlights were working in season one in the comedy cellar filming Louis, doing impromptu, stand-up shows to a surprise audience with the Red One camera, the first successful digital red camera. Seems nostalgic now.
Joe John It's how he introduces and closes out the monologue, and it's a brilliant little way of setting it up/tearing it down. This show is full of small, thoughtful decisions like that. They elevate the show to the incredible quality it showcases in spades.
The best show ever made. Bets direction, best writing, best cinematography and editing... Honest and bizarre enough to feel like real life. Funny and poignant and deep and important.
Read something like Tolstoy or Dostoyevsky or some shit. Books like that have stuff to rival entire seasons of Louie on every single page. It wouldn't surprise me if Louie got the idea for this scene from some classic book.
Johnny Threefour He is a vivid reader. He said so before, and judging by what he Puts out (stand up, shows, in interviews) you can see he thinks a lot about human interactions and takes in a lot of inspiration from others.
"Misery is wasted on the miserable": Just like youth is wasted on the young; when you are in a state of being miserable, you can't appreciate the fleeting sweet melancholy it offers. You don't appreciate how time seems to slow down for you or how you are driven to introspection and to a newfound wisdom of who you really are. You just want the heartbreak to end and you miss all the signs of the precious bittersweet nugget of love you are left with.
Mirto Ala Well fucking said amigo. Going through the misery right now, and this helped put my pain into perspective. It’s so hard but finding a way to appreciate it makes it beautiful.
Our Sadness is only a measure of how deeply we loved. Joy can't come without sadness. And if you handle sadness right, it becomes compassion.When you extend your sadness and relate it to others. Then, everyone becomes likable, because everyone suffers and you can relate to it. You see that we are all in the same boat. And even when you don't have anyone loving you exclusively, you are free to love everyone.You are free!! This is beautiful in a way.
Me too man. I feel like I missed out feeling sorry for myself for the years after I had my heart broken. The thing if you really loved the person, the feelings are real and it's better to experience those than complete apathy.
This is gold, lol. The older man is saying that he doesn't feel anymore but a broken heart would give him feeling again while Louis is overwhelmed with feelings, so much so that it has debilitated him. It's weird but the pain of heartbreak is much better than being devoid of feeling at all. Strange but true.
After watching so many ted talks, reading books and talking to friends. I never felt easy and had a lingering feeling always haunting since the quiet break up. This show under 2 minutes gave me more comfort that the past year. I never seen it, but after watching this maybe i can feel better
+MegaSnippezz True, enjoy, because you will forget her, you will not care anymore one day. Take it from me, I had it twice. I guess I should consider myself lucky.
yup. I'm here now too. I recently connected with my high school crush, long distance, but I messed up and now we're through before we could even start anything. love is a bitch.
Louis is an amazing writer, comedian, actor, producer and director and despite his mistakes he seems like a good person; I sincerely hope his career will survive.
There were no mistakes made though, that's just the thing. If you go back to a hotel with a woman and there's all kinds of flirting going on, it doesn't seem that weird if he makes a move on her. He has a kink for masturbating in front of people. Not strangers but people he was clearly close to. Those that he did it in front of agreed that it was ok. What's wrong is that the women came out and shared something which was a private matter and made it into a public one. Louis is a bit pervy; that's all you can really say about the guy. There were no mistakes made except on the womens part.
Paul Welsh I’m in agreement. I try to take the objective position and give it the benefit of the doubt. Probably, they were all drunk/possibly high. Things escalated and he said something that may come off socially awkward, but there was no sexual assault. No crime, but our society is hyper sensitive and easily offended these days. If you follow Louie, he’s mad real. That’s why he’s loved. Cause he says it like it is.
hes not that good of an actor lol, but what made this work is that he made a parodied version of what he is like, i wish he could make one more season post allegations and that he would tackle the subject in his perspective.
There's beauty in misery, in loneliness. Of course no one wants to experience it, but it is beautiful. All those watching I hope you can find some beauty in your pain, and I wish you to find happiness again
It is only beautiful when you get out of it and can reflect on it. Some people never experience anything but misery or loneliness and that isn’t beautiful at all. I’m agreeing with your point just making a small addition.
@@spinblackcircles I think you can have one foot in misery and one foot outside of it. The misery isn't as intense then, but you can reflect on how powerful it is still. I agree that longing after misery has a kind of meaning too tho.
I am in a relationship which i know will end in 3 weeks, she will go back to California and I will be back to my country and we will probably never see each other again. I know how awful it will be when it ends too. This is my first time being in love with someone and she loves me back. I try to comfort myself from the inevitable and this is the most helpfull thing I have found yet. Thank you Louie. Edit from 3 weeks later: She is gone, over. I keep coming back to this video. It fucking sucks. Edit from 2 and a half months later: We couldn't resist to start talking again. We are giving long distance a try. Edit from almost 2 years later: We just couldn't stay apart and managed to make it work, we are engaged now. I am very happy Edit from 3 and a half years: Distance took it's toll and she told me she just couldn't do it anymore. I still love her but it's over.
@@SherlockarimWe managed to see each other a couple more times for months at a time sometimes and can't get enough of each other. I had completely forgotten about this post and the misery i was in back than. Covid travel restrictions have been an issue but hopefully i will see her again in two weeks actually. She proposed to me the last time we saw each other and we are engaged. It is going so much better than i anticipated.
That last shot of the man walking away with his dog is absolutely beautiful. Young people might see that elderly man shuffling along the city street and think "Look at his limp and the way he's being lead around by his dog! What a sad and mediocre life that man must be living." But the truth is that the old man has experienced more joy and sorrow than youth alone can ever offer. He has truly experienced what it is like to be alive. Nothing really scares him anymore. He's content with being himself. Gorgeous on so many levels.
lol people like you are the worst, thinking you found something deep, hilarious. Noone would think anything bad, if they saw this old man with the dog, jesus...
It's people like you who get their daily dose of nobility by allocating worth to other people's observations. You ask what gives me the right? What gives YOU the right?
kostas24695 What you're doing is far more pretentious. I commented on a piece of media created for the purpose of debate and interpretation. YOU judged a person you never met based off a single blurb. Re-evaluate yourself.
This scene has stuck with me since the day I saw it years ago. When things are going badly for me I always repeat to myself "misery is wasted on the miserable" and it always makes me remember the beauty of my struggles and all of a sudden my struggles become poetic instead of tragic.

"Things are sweeter when they're lost. I know-- because once I wanted something and got it. It was the only thing I ever wanted badly...and when I got it it turned to dust in my hand."
My therapist showed me this clip and it was so eye opening. I started seeing the beauty in the experience of it all; the sadness, the loneliness, the despair and existential dread. I may not have her anymore but I had a wonderful time with her and im thankful for that.
I remember sitting with the purist soul I’ve yet to meet. Under this big oak tree…just eating juicy delicious peaches overlooking this endless orchard bordered with white fence. Now that orchard is the same cookie cutter subdivision you’ve seen everywhere. I’m forever grateful for that memory. Life is full of choices, I chose to cherish rather than be bitter for every reasonable reason.
Beautifully written by Louie (and co.) and beautifully acted by Charles. The way he parses his words here is so pretty. And Louie reacting by doing very little is also so well done.
A year and 3 months later...I still miss him. No closure, no sorry, nothing...this scene helps me on the worst days. I’m happy that I loved and took a chance instead of wondering and never knowing joy and pain.
i had to replay the video twice to get his point across my mind and it PERFECTLY makes since. My ex of 3 years has broken up with me about a year and half ago and i still feel some type of a "heartbreak leftovers." its still fading but never fully faded away.
+AK Safwat I was only with a girl for 6 months and it's been 6 months after we broke up and I still miss her, meanwhile she found a new boyfriend after a week.
Are we understanding this younger, as a generation? With so much information and experience readily available. I'm recently 30 and have been feeling this for a few years now. I relate to old people who, while still living the best they can, look back fondly on the ignorance and passion of youth, and also look forward fondly to when they'll finally get to rest from this whole ordeal
I remember I was going through a break-up when I happened to be binge-watching this Season of "Louie", and came up on this episode. This is part o that episode really helped me change my perspective on the situation and get passed that time in my life. He's right, the worst part is when you stop thinking or feeling for that person you used to feel so strongly for. Enjoy the emotions while you can, my friends.
Milan latjos...be you either a Louis fan or a fan of philosophy...you might enjoy this site. , modern day philosophers ....dannylobellsmdp.libsyn.com/comedians being interviewed and their thoughts on specific philosophers.I've listened to Louis hours on end, interviews, podcasts, o&a etc...always find a nugget of truth that he doles out, but perhaps the best or the one that resonates with me is the doug Stanhope dialogue about wanting to die that truly stands out as genius. then again I enjoyed it when he asked Donald rumsfield if he was a lizard person...funny!
Basically my interpretation of this is don’t be sad that it’s over, remind yourself that someone was in love with you at one point in your life. The heartbreak you’re feeling is a sign that the love you felt wasn’t a fluke.
I wish i could have seen this earlier, about a year and 7 months earlier. That's when I really needed to hear it. But now I can say I know what it's like to be at the "bad part".
Been feeling this way myself. As confusing and annoying as it's been, feeling this way about a colleague, the one redeeming factor of it was that at least my feelings were genuine. It was an authentic, practically agendaless desire to be there for her no matter what.
Nikhil Sasi Rajan hundreds of millions of men feeling better about love, fatherhood, relationships and growing old and dying wasn't as important as giving that handful of entitled middle class feminist women their bitter petty revenge for some buyer remorse dick that they felt "held them back". Making petty useless and entitled white women feel good about themselves is becoming more important than having a good male role model for young men that could maybe turn them into the sorts of people those selfsame feminists claim they want men to be. Making upper class feminist zealots feel secure in their paranoid misanthropy is, in general, becoming more important than morality or aesthetics. As long as people like Meryl Streep and Barbara Streisand aren't being held back or hassled, says hollywood, then the MeToo movement is working...a shame that spotlight never falls on the thousands of poor Appalachian marital-rape victims that exist or the millions of women living in literal sexual slavery tied to a bed and pumped full of heroin 24/7...or say, even, the average obese black mcdonald's worker who gets molested by her boss. Never see that shit in the times. But "bein' creepy" is always a hangable offense if the target is a talented pretty white woman of stage and screen. "Don't touch our pretty rich white women" should be the official motto of the movement...all the movement cares about. High status entitled cunts with a platform to whine about stuff that happens to THEM...never things that happen to others.
after the whole allegation thing and everything; i still come back to this video as a form of career retrospective. truly beautiful scene and interesting message.
my girlfriend literally broke up with me a day ago, and i suddenly saw this scene on tv. Now I just keep holding on to the fact that heartbreak is the best thing about love, or IS, in fact love. I dont know why I shared this though
Unlike most shows. The sleeping masses only want instant gratification & get upset at something that challenges their way of beliefs & requires them to read between the lines.
This series is such a masterpiece, at times when I don't know what the fuck I'm doing with my life or even times when I'm just plain bored and stuck inside my own head I just play a random episode. This man is an artistic genius. Fucking love him, god bless you man. Cheers!
there is so much truth in this funny scene........I had my heart broken 9 years ago...........cant feel a thing emotionally ever since.......I would give ANYTHING to feel again........
Why are men so good at shutting down emotionally? :/ The last one I dated stopped himself from totally falling in love with me because of past issues. You guys need to learn how to appreciate everything for what it is, learn from it, accept it, and move forward... otherwise you're depriving yourself of future joy, and for what? I've been hurt so many times, and still I'm hopeful and anticipating true love with a soulmate... does that make me more resilient? I wonder...
When your heart is shattered, remember that at least you know you're alive, passionate, breathing. SO MANY folks never feel so devastatingly heartbroken. Count yourself lucky that you had something so pure and amazing that losing it broke you so much.
I discovered Louie when I was going through my first breakup with my high school sweetheart, it was a particular rough time in my life and his comedy and his shows were more therapeutic than any therapist I've ever had. This was a time where I couldn't eat or sleep, I was so heartbroken I felt sick to my stomach and his content had me laughing out loud in my room by myself (which I never do even normally, for me to crack a smile alone means something) I've never related to another comedian more, the feelings I get from his insight is almost like a drug in how it transforms my mood
I can see what he's saying, but, once you get to the forgetting stage, when you no longer care about someone who left you with a broken heart, feels much more comfortable than the agonising missing them stage. And if you can look back and say 'we had some good times after all' it's much better than wallowing in bitterness and hatred for years like some one I could name
i have always thought that to say that one's heart is broken is to express a metaphor until the day mine was smashed into pieces, then I understood what it really meant: the impossibility of feeling anything strong for the majority of things that would make you passionate and happy. An ice cream doesn't taste the same, a success doesn't feel as important as it did before and the heart stoped caring about love.
The first time I broke up, it felt really tough and I ended up crying a lot. What I had in my mind was exactly this; it sucked knowing that one day I wouldn't be sad anymore. I wouldn't remember her voice or all the funny moments we had. I hated knowing that she would slowly fade away and it would be as though I never met her in the first place.
I think that, ultimately, is the key to a successful life: being able to channel that pain into your creative inner and outer life. As long you can break free of the paralysis it's possible.
yeah every time i enter a depression phase I'm always thinking when is it gonna end and I try to get out of it in any way possible and then when I am finally out of the phase I look back to it with fondness, I don't know what you call that but its strange
Enjoy the heartbreak. It sounds lovely, poetic and profound. Perfect for a comedy laced with big splashes of pathos and even tragedy, but it's specious. Our feelings are our feelings. There's nothing more to them than what they are. Obviously we should revel in our happiness and experience our pain, but pain is not there to _be_ enjoyed. It's just there.
I remember this scene hitting hard when I first saw it and didn't really have any way to directly relate to it. Now, as someone whose been married and divorced, it hits immeasurably harder and far closer to home. Really some incredible, Bergmanesque writing here
This is a contemporary adaptation of Nietzsche's Amor Fati, or love of our fate. To say yes to the distinctly most painful moments of one's life, and to be willing, even enthusiastic, about the thought of those moments repeating, exactly as they already occured, over and over, ad infinitum.
Yeah, this clip is helping me a lot. I know regular self-help culture wants you to get over things as fast as possible and ARGH, make you a go-getter-achiever etc But me being sad about missing her makes me realise I actually care about the important stuff in life. Me being sad means I still feel love and me feeling love means I stll care and with that care... I can do my best to make this world better. Because I love this world and life where I can meet someone and feel this way.
Masterpiece! Nothing but the truth from a phenomenological perspective. You will never feel love as intense as when you miss someone. That’s the moment when your sentiments overcome your capacity to do something about it.
set aside the fact that this was the best TV Show in Years - and it needs to be continued - this old man is by far my favourite character and I wish there were more episodes with him, but then again, this is not how the show works.... miss it.
“A pleasure is full grown only when it is remembered. You are speaking, Hman, as if the pleasure were one thing and the memory another. It is all one thing. … What you call remembering is the last part of the pleasure… When you and I met, the meeting was over very shortly, it was nothing. Now it is growing something as we remember it. But still we know very little about it. What it will be when I remember it as I lie down to die, what it makes in me all my days till then - that is the real meeting. The other is only the beginning of it. “( Out of the Silent Planet, p. 73)
I worked on this show for three seasons. It was a great time. Great memories.

My therapist showed me this clip and it was so eye opening. I started seeing the beauty in the experience of it all; the sadness, the loneliness, the despair and existential dread. I may not have her anymore but I had a wonderful time with her and im thankful for that.
I speak for myself but the doc is 100% right
Enjoy your misery, simp, while she's having fun out there and forgot you already.
I remember sitting with the purist soul I’ve yet to meet. Under this big oak tree…just eating juicy delicious peaches overlooking this endless orchard bordered with white fence.
Now that orchard is the same cookie cutter subdivision you’ve seen everywhere.
I’m forever grateful for that memory.
Life is full of choices, I chose to cherish rather than be bitter for every reasonable reason.
Probably the best therapist you will ever had.
this is the most beautiful scene of the most beautiful tv show of the 21st century
This spoke volumes to me when I was younger. I always remembered it, and now it's in my recommended
Fuck me that was a beautiful scene. Great acting by Charles Grodin
So many amazing actors in this series. Best show I have ever seen.
Charles Grodin, amazing as always

this scene is SO brilliant. there are no words for how brilliant this is....
Lots of amazing scenes in this series.
literally, this scene has saved me in a multitude of ways, true art.
so why did you say words? lol just kidding.
this turns my pain into joy
Beautifully written by Louie (and co.) and beautifully acted by Charles. The way he parses his words here is so pretty. And Louie reacting by doing very little is also so well done.
Yeah, not enough people here giving Grodin his props.
I love your description
A year and 3 months later...I still miss him. No closure, no sorry, nothing...this scene helps me on the worst days. I’m happy that I loved and took a chance instead of wondering and never knowing joy and pain.
i had to replay the video twice to get his point across my mind and it PERFECTLY makes since. My ex of 3 years has broken up with me about a year and half ago and i still feel some type of a "heartbreak leftovers." its still fading but never fully faded away.
AK Safwat I feel ya man.
AK Safwat me too brother
***** thanks man:)
AK Safwat A year and a half and it ended 2 months ago and I still feel it man. Damn.
+AK Safwat I was only with a girl for 6 months and it's been 6 months after we broke up and I still miss her, meanwhile she found a new boyfriend after a week.
This is so true it hurts. The bad part is when you stop caring.
RIP to the great and underrated Charles Grodin ❤️
Are we understanding this younger, as a generation? With so much information and experience readily available. I'm recently 30 and have been feeling this for a few years now. I relate to old people who, while still living the best they can, look back fondly on the ignorance and passion of youth, and also look forward fondly to when they'll finally get to rest from this whole ordeal
I remember I was going through a break-up when I happened to be binge-watching this Season of "Louie", and came up on this episode. This is part o that episode really helped me change my perspective on the situation and get passed that time in my life. He's right, the worst part is when you stop thinking or feeling for that person you used to feel so strongly for. Enjoy the emotions while you can, my friends.
Nonsense. The part when you stop feeling and forget is a huge relief. And I mean huge. Literally a weight off your shoulders.
thank you so much for uploading this! I love this scene as well, I didn't think I was gonna find it! thanks!
My pleasure. :)
Milan latjos...be you either a Louis fan or a fan of philosophy...you might enjoy this site. , modern day philosophers ....dannylobellsmdp.libsyn.com/comedians being interviewed and their thoughts on specific philosophers.I've listened to Louis hours on end, interviews, podcasts, o&a etc...always find a nugget of truth that he doles out, but perhaps the best or the one that resonates with me is the doug Stanhope dialogue about wanting to die that truly stands out as genius. then again I enjoyed it when he asked Donald rumsfield if he was a lizard person...funny!
This is the best break up advice I have ever heard in any dialogue ever
This show is an absolute masterpiece. The writing is fucking outrageously amazing. The score is awesome. The acting is brilliant.
This shit was profound
One could say Louis picked up a nugget of wisdom.
"The saddest thing about love is that even the heartbreak is too soon forgotten."
-Faulkner
"You are a classic idiot" is such a good insult lolol😂
Basically my interpretation of this is don’t be sad that it’s over, remind yourself that someone was in love with you at one point in your life. The heartbreak you’re feeling is a sign that the love you felt wasn’t a fluke.
I wish i could have seen this earlier, about a year and 7 months earlier. That's when I really needed to hear it. But now I can say I know what it's like to be at the "bad part".
Yep.
Charles Grodin was amazing in everything he did, even the stupid stuff. He deserved way more great roles like this one.
Watching this again after getting my heart broken for the first time in ten years. The second worst feeling in the world next to what comes next
Oh goddamit this hit way too close to home
john gun yeah. shit
Been feeling this way myself. As confusing and annoying as it's been, feeling this way about a colleague, the one redeeming factor of it was that at least my feelings were genuine. It was an authentic, practically agendaless desire to be there for her no matter what.
I miss Louis CK.. can we forgive him and have him back?
What did he do?
Apotheosis I agree but this show actually ended before the allegations came out against him.
@@suicideme 😂😂😂😂😂😂 lmfao what
@@mcluigi117 He was going to continue doing the show.
Nikhil Sasi Rajan hundreds of millions of men feeling better about love, fatherhood, relationships and growing old and dying wasn't as important as giving that handful of entitled middle class feminist women their bitter petty revenge for some buyer remorse dick that they felt "held them back". Making petty useless and entitled white women feel good about themselves is becoming more important than having a good male role model for young men that could maybe turn them into the sorts of people those selfsame feminists claim they want men to be. Making upper class feminist zealots feel secure in their paranoid misanthropy is, in general, becoming more important than morality or aesthetics. As long as people like Meryl Streep and Barbara Streisand aren't being held back or hassled, says hollywood, then the MeToo movement is working...a shame that spotlight never falls on the thousands of poor Appalachian marital-rape victims that exist or the millions of women living in literal sexual slavery tied to a bed and pumped full of heroin 24/7...or say, even, the average obese black mcdonald's worker who gets molested by her boss. Never see that shit in the times. But "bein' creepy" is always a hangable offense if the target is a talented pretty white woman of stage and screen. "Don't touch our pretty rich white women" should be the official motto of the movement...all the movement cares about. High status entitled cunts with a platform to whine about stuff that happens to THEM...never things that happen to others.
I loved this guy in Midnight Run.
after the whole allegation thing and everything; i still come back to this video as a form of career retrospective. truly beautiful scene and interesting message.
I appreciate how merciless Louis is on himself in the writing of the show.
my girlfriend literally broke up with me a day ago, and i suddenly saw this scene on tv. Now I just keep holding on to the fact that heartbreak is the best thing about love, or IS, in fact love. I dont know why I shared this though
How is it going now?
How is it going now?
@@Sherlockarim no response eh? i guess he didn't make it...
@@SvenRonPooc11 4.9 years ago, a solemn splash is heard off the side of a lonely old bridge.
It happened to me today, Just like how it did for you 6 years ago. I hope you're having a pleasant time.
Aside from this show being funny.. it's so god dam wise and insightful.
Unlike most shows. The sleeping masses only want instant gratification & get upset at something that challenges their way of beliefs & requires them to read between the lines.
I Love this show
I love you
This series is such a masterpiece, at times when I don't know what the fuck I'm doing with my life or even times when I'm just plain bored and stuck inside my own head I just play a random episode. This man is an artistic genius.
Fucking love him, god bless you man.
Cheers!
there is so much truth in this funny scene........I had my heart broken 9 years ago...........cant feel a thing emotionally ever since.......I would give ANYTHING to feel again........
yeah....once you know how it ends, you will enjoy the journey less and less
i was where you are 10 yrs ago. i moved on. got hurt AGAIN. it wasn't worth it. stay numb, buddy.
ANDYofzz This thought is the main reason for my existential anxiety. IF I ever enjoy the journey again...
Why are men so good at shutting down emotionally? :/ The last one I dated stopped himself from totally falling in love with me because of past issues. You guys need to learn how to appreciate everything for what it is, learn from it, accept it, and move forward... otherwise you're depriving yourself of future joy, and for what? I've been hurt so many times, and still I'm hopeful and anticipating true love with a soulmate... does that make me more resilient? I wonder...
MsZephyra no thanks. love is stupid. shutting down emotionally keeps us alive.
When your heart is shattered, remember that at least you know you're alive, passionate, breathing. SO MANY folks never feel so devastatingly heartbroken. Count yourself lucky that you had something so pure and amazing that losing it broke you so much.
The most profound thing I have seen on UA-cam in a long time
I can’t believe we aren’t getting a final season. Fucking tragedy.
This makes me grateful and optimistic
RIP Charles Grodin
I discovered Louie when I was going through my first breakup with my high school sweetheart, it was a particular rough time in my life and his comedy and his shows were more therapeutic than any therapist I've ever had. This was a time where I couldn't eat or sleep, I was so heartbroken I felt sick to my stomach and his content had me laughing out loud in my room by myself (which I never do even normally, for me to crack a smile alone means something) I've never related to another comedian more, the feelings I get from his insight is almost like a drug in how it transforms my mood
I can see what he's saying, but, once you get to the forgetting stage, when you no longer care about someone who left you with a broken heart, feels much more comfortable than the agonising missing them stage. And if you can look back and say 'we had some good times after all' it's much better than wallowing in bitterness and hatred for years like some one I could name
i have always thought that to say that one's heart is broken is to express a metaphor until the day mine was smashed into pieces, then I understood what it really meant: the impossibility of feeling anything strong for the majority of things that would make you passionate and happy. An ice cream doesn't taste the same, a success doesn't feel as important as it did before and the heart stoped caring about love.
The first time I broke up, it felt really tough and I ended up crying a lot. What I had in my mind was exactly this; it sucked knowing that one day I wouldn't be sad anymore. I wouldn't remember her voice or all the funny moments we had. I hated knowing that she would slowly fade away and it would be as though I never met her in the first place.
Great sketch from this show
Rest in Peace Mr Charles Grodin 🙏
I think that, ultimately, is the key to a successful life: being able to channel that pain into your creative inner and outer life. As long you can break free of the paralysis it's possible.
yeah every time i enter a depression phase I'm always thinking when is it gonna end and I try to get out of it in any way possible and then when I am finally out of the phase I look back to it with fondness, I don't know what you call that but its strange
I love that he is literally left holding a bag of shit.
I was mesmerized listening to such a concept of love. I just...
Dennis Garzón the suspense is killing me...
fuck me im in suspense for years...
As someone currently experiencing the bad part, I can confirm.
My dad’s been divorced 4 times and gives me wisdom like this at times. Always straightens me up a bit. Stubborn old man👴🏼
I'd pay a yearly subscription for any platform that has this show to just watch it over and over and over again 24/7
RIP Charles G!!!
Almost 4 years later and it's still the good part lol
i always come back to this when i get my heart broken
Enjoy the heartbreak. It sounds lovely, poetic and profound. Perfect for a comedy laced with big splashes of pathos and even tragedy, but it's specious. Our feelings are our feelings. There's nothing more to them than what they are. Obviously we should revel in our happiness and experience our pain, but pain is not there to _be_ enjoyed. It's just there.
Yep. Emotional pain is a body waste. Needs to be disposed off pronto.
I remember this scene hitting hard when I first saw it and didn't really have any way to directly relate to it. Now, as someone whose been married and divorced, it hits immeasurably harder and far closer to home. Really some incredible, Bergmanesque writing here
Genius ! This guy figured out a way of making European artistic film style far less boring.
I hope to see more of his awesome work.
This is a contemporary adaptation of Nietzsche's Amor Fati, or love of our fate. To say yes to the distinctly most painful moments of one's life, and to be willing, even enthusiastic, about the thought of those moments repeating, exactly as they already occured, over and over, ad infinitum.
Yeah, this clip is helping me a lot. I know regular self-help culture wants you to get over things as fast as possible and ARGH, make you a go-getter-achiever etc
But me being sad about missing her makes me realise I actually care about the important stuff in life. Me being sad means I still feel love and me feeling love means I stll care
and with that care... I can do my best to make this world better. Because I love this world and life where I can meet someone and feel this way.
Simp.
So beautiful!! Thanks for this moment of poetry
Masterpiece! Nothing but the truth from a phenomenological perspective. You will never feel love as intense as when you miss someone. That’s the moment when your sentiments overcome your capacity to do something about it.
set aside the fact that this was the best TV Show in Years - and it needs to be continued - this old man is by far my favourite character and I wish there were more episodes with him, but then again, this is not how the show works.... miss it.
“A pleasure is full grown only when it is remembered. You are speaking, Hman, as if the pleasure were one thing and the memory another. It is all one thing. … What you call remembering is the last part of the pleasure… When you and I met, the meeting was over very shortly, it was nothing. Now it is growing something as we remember it. But still we know very little about it. What it will be when I remember it as I lie down to die, what it makes in me all my days till then - that is the real meeting. The other is only the beginning of it. “( Out of the Silent Planet, p. 73)
how much this helped me... its crazy...
This show was just so well written. We are all worse off for it that it was pulled/cancelled. But at least The Neighborhood is still on
This really sheds perspective. I love what he did with this show. I wish I’d watched it more.
Quote: "Enjoy the heart brake" a very simple sentence that requires years and years of emotional maturity to be capable to put it in action.
Heart brake and heart acceleration. Parts of life!
Love the song gazpacho and just so happened to stumble upon this video, found a gem
