- Netflix's The OA creator Brit Marling, whom I respect, love, and adore, delivers one of the most inspiring speeches I have ever heard at a graduation ceremony. She touches on the importance of friendship, perseverance, and making your own destiny.
One of my favorite quotes...
"When we were all at our wits end with this journey, when I had stopped talking to my parents, because I could no longer explain to them what I was doing out there, losing myself, losing my life, living in this collective fantasy, encouraged only by each other to keep going. Finally, we all stopped trying to break in. I stopped auditioning, we all started writing. We decided that we didn't need to wait for permission or validation to make our work. That all we had to do is go back to making films the way we made them at Georgetown. When security guards from the National Gallery had chased us around the mall."
Original Description From Source:
Actress and filmmaker Brit Marling (C’05) told the Class of 2013 to maintain the friendships and relationships they cultivated during their undergraduate career as they enter the next stage of the lives.

yo, she is the only one who could have ever played The OA. I overestimated how much of the OA character was a script, vs. how much of it was her. the character feels like it was based on her rather than her acting like someone else, and this shows it.
Well she did write it, so it makes sense.
M O O D Y D J O O D I I love how this comment literally became accurate 2 years before its time because of what happened at the end of part 2 of the OA
season 3 she’s gonna be called brit.. like in real life
@@saff1257 seems there's no season 3 coming for the moment
Maybe we’re just in the universe that the OA is an actress.
Thank Goddess we didn't lose her to a boring Wallstreet or Wolrd Owner Bank job. Mega intelligent and an excellent writer who is also an excellent actress.
yep, she is somehow very blessed, but most importantly she uses it for good and shares it.
@Swiit Lime 😂
But a brilliant janitor, no doubt.
Thank Goddess? Was that a Freudian slip?
And beautiful inside and outside THE ORIGINAL ANGEL 🙂
She is a Gem 💎. Indeed!
She's definitely the original angel.
Indeed
This is what exactly I wanna say. The OA is not just a show.

They made her in a lab next to Brad Pitt.
She could be the voice of a generation, this is amazing.
definitely you're so right. Her speech was so inspiring for me being an artist and a musician. I migine her as a future president of a country... She has what is needed to make a change. A real change !! almost like helping everyone to move and step into another reality. A new reality that can be created from inspiration. Not so far from the OA itself innit??
This woman is speaks from a much higher level of consciousness than the rest of us. She is amazing.
Amazing is the most over used and misused word in the English language. However not in this case.
You are 100% correct
It's scary how brilliant she is! ❤
I looked up one interview - now I've been listening to this woman speak in several unique capacities for about two hours.
ditto XD
Yep
Me too, save the OA
Same.
Yea. She’s a real treasure. Being a very art based, ideological, somewhat eccentric thinker, I wish I could have a conversation with her
"I'm not going to tell you much about myself because I'm not that interesting"
Goes on to deliver one of the most interesting and thought provoking speeches I've ever heard
Why would she discuss something about noticing ppl with cosmetic surgery following her? She is keenly aware of something. 🤔
There's really something about her that makes her a great story teller
what I wouldn't give to have brit tell me stories for the rest of my life
Beauty, Brains, and Talent
She is such a brilliant story teller. So lovely.
am I the only one who thinks she's the most beautiful woman?
Golden Eagle No. You are not alone. She is an angel.!
Agree.
Obviously not!
see past that and hear the beauty in her words and stories.
No, you're not. She looks divine.
And those vampire fangs she has... cherry on teh cake.
I think she's the person that's touched me the most through moving pictures. At first I thought it was just because I was a nerd and liked abstract questions about the ultimate nature of reality. But I think I've come to the realization that she has somehow managed to remind me of some of the most important things in life that I've seriously overlooked and neglected. That someone can do this at all is impressive. That someone can do this through fiction is inspiring. That someone can do this through an extremely young medium a million times more effectively than even the best movie and TV writers and directors is truly singular. I wish I could become like her.
> But I think I've come to the realization that she has somehow managed to remind me of some of the most important things in life that I've seriously overlooked and neglected.
I kinda feel the same... But where do I go from there?
If it’s somebody’s truth, is it really fiction? Art imitates reality imitates art...
I’m in the same boat, J. She seems to remind me of the embodiment of a Soul, the deepest aching, yearning questions, hopes, fears. The seeking, crying out for truth we discourage because it doesn’t (always) put food in bellies, clothes on backs and smiles on the faces of polite society, of the uncomfortable, the fearful among us. Fear drives our decisions so often, and it will crush the soul in each of us IF we allow it. I find it as dangerous a motivator as apathy. We crave more for a reason. As ordinary as I think it could be, it is certainly refreshing in this day and society to see someone embrace that instead of chastise or smother it.
i think if i saw this in real life the chemistry in my brain would be entirely rewritten
At 81 now, I was in tears listening to this amazing woman. I have been to church this morning. Thank you . I cant wait for my 80 year old wife to wake up and have this woman make her day. This speech was about the participation in the progressive revelation of God, given to anyone who chooses to make the future better than the past. As Jesus said (Apocrypha) "Why do you marvel at what I do? Seek and find and all these things will be yours as well."
Marvin Purser, I like your style and you have made my day.
Same here. Marvin, thank you for your comment! Brit Marling has become my older sister figure. ♥️
Wow she’s a Georgetown convocation speaker in this universe
10/10
Awkward faces in the crowd when she says “you’ve slept with each other” 😂
One of the most inspiring and beautiful speeches I've ever heard. ♥Brit really is the OA in real life.
She's so articulate!
Yes, excellent and she was surprised by the standing ovation which she deserved.
Give to Brit Marling the necessary support for The OA. This series needs to conclude with their five seasons. Come on guys! #SaveTheOa
We need NETFLIX to realize what a criminal thing they have done canceling the gem of a show god help us
@@AdornationMusic it Netflix what do you expect for them…they are same as CNN
I just finished The OA season one and have watched a few of her movies. I was so moved by The OA and her movies. I find her to be such and authentic person. Her acting and person just draws you in. I love this speech! I'm going to show it to my 16 year old - it such an inspiring and unique speech! I'm looking forward to more movies by her and her pals! Bravo!!
Laurie she is my total idol! Have you seen "I Origins?" -- it is so beautiful. Nice to share some Brit love with her. She is exactly as you describe.
Katie Thomas Yes! I Origins was amazing!! Have you seen Sound of My Voice and The East?
Yes! I just watched the East over the weekend! I am on a total Brit binge right now. Just looking at her makes me want to weep for love. I'd stand in line for a week to meet her!!! I'd love to know more about what inspires her. Every single thing she's involved with is just the very best of the best. Wherever you are...thank you for this bonding Laurie!!!
Katie Thomas She totally draws you in!! Did you watch Another Earth? And the Civil War movie ...Can't think of the name right now. Back at ya!
I did watch Another Earth! I haven't seen the Civil War movie yet but I queued it up on my Netflix. I'm so sad OA was canceled. Can't wait to see what she does next.
This world needs so many more Brit Marlings. She is a treasure and I treasure her work. I cannot wait to see what she does next.
watching this in 2019, little does 2013 Brit know she'll be the star and creator of her own netflix series that Zal directs!!
she directs it too (:
@@erikglesne807 Not true actually. She co-wrote,co-produced and acted but shied away from directing until "The Murder at the End of the World" which was her directorial debut.
I planned on taking a quick look. Here I am 14 minutes laters.
What a speech. Truly inspirational.
I still have my door open Brit ❤️
As do I. 😊😊😊😊😊 #SaveTheOA
I remember watching this in 2014 and it truly staying with me but really not knowing much about her. The OA now happens to be life changing and something my soul resonates with more than anything - and the most creatively inspiring thing I’ve ever seen. Crazy how life be.
:)
Girl you created The OA... your mind is so creative and fertile and open as well
The way she said “ Thanks “ Damn.. She really is OA. Pls take me with you!!!
Became a fan of Brit after watching The OA. She's awesome. Great actress, excellent writer, amazingly brilliant, and gorgeous inside and out. I would love to have a drink and a chat with her.
She's an Angel indeed.
I'm hopelessly in love. She's amazing. Only seen Another Earth and I Origins, but whilst I found the romance a touch nauseating, Marling was just amazing. I'd been wanting to watch The OA before even knowing who she was. Can't wait to see it...
Me too! So in love.
You watched it yet?
I’ve been watching Brit speak nonstop after finishing Part II of the OA, and goddamn! she is amazingly talented and so in touch with her own humanity. I would love to learn from her someday. I actually started tearing up when she mentioned the station wagon road trip to california with the family that you build, because it reminds me so much of the boys and BBA. brit really puts her entire heart into her storytelling, and the result comes across as indescribably genuine and moving. her ability to use the medium of film to communicate the rawness of human emotion is beautiful. I am truly left in awe by everything she does.
I love her so much
What Brit said at 16:50 - 17:05 really changed my life and it reminded me of a lot of things about The OA!!!! ☺️☺️☺️☺️ “I asked you to believe in impossible things.”
Brit: "You have been forced to get outside of yourself. If you can, stay there."
Leon to Hap: "You ARE on the outside, stay there" 🤯
@@petersaysthings I never like Hap but I gotta give credit to the actor Jason Isaacs to play as a villain especially from the Harry Potter sequel and Hook from Pan. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
We thought Season 3 was cancelled but it's happening in our dimension now. It's on going. The OA is here.
Nigel Simon ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️ “I asked you to believe in impossible things.”
I teared up after hearing Brit's talk. Five years after she spoke these words, they were so moving, exactly what I needed to hear at this point in my life
I just graduated from my master's program last weekend and man I wished I had heard this speech at my own college graduation. Such much wisdom in those words unlike majority of the graduation speeches out there.
You can feel her passion, appreciation and zest for what she does ooze through the screen. Terrific!
I just really love Brit! She seems to be such an interesting and deep human on a whole different level than other California celebrities.
Wow, as soon as I saw "Another Earth" many years ago...I thought, OK who are these people. I am a film nut and I, like many I'm sure fell in love with the concept, subject matter and execution, AND Brit is super special and truly mesmerizing on screen. I searched out "Sound of My Voice" immediately and again...different and cool. Anyhoo, all of the films mentioned, The East, and now OA - yeah, SO SMART, so humble and real and wonderful. Brit Mike Zal - trifecta of awesomeness indeed. Brit however is a light...just *swoon* not since early viewings of Juliette Binoche have I felt so excited about someone's work as an actor.
After hearing this, OA makes so much sense. Most of it is based on her life exp O_O
OA - ESTAS VIVA
Some are born to tell stories ... love this !
You know... she touched all of these people’s lives. She reached out for her dreams and ran fast enough to catch them, even when she felt like she didn’t know what she was doing, she had her friends and family and a whole world to explore and her own to create. She’s a good example of living a life she wants and truly living it with love. She’s so cool yo haha! 🙏❤️
Wow she is a flesh and blood angel
Not just any but The ORIGINAL Angel 😀
and yeah it's true if you're still wondering, She is an Original Angel.
Moved me to tears
What a beautiful person... What an angel...
she's a brilliant diamond among millions of fool's gold. congratulations to all the lucky ones that got to hear this.
What a beautiful and insightful speech by such a beautiful and insightful person.
Her mind blows me away
The deeply loving act of sharing what you have come to understand. Throughout my being, dreaming, chaos and sorrow I return to particular people who are communicating a language of higher awareness and I reconnect. Brit Marling and her family are the kinds of people who as a highly attuned and deeply creative child hopes exist in the world. Thank you for communicating what you have and are.
She is brilliant.
they better stand up!
LOVE her...of course!!!! Such a rare , creative, wise woman,...TY for the great work and ur awareness, Brit. M.
A brilliant and beautiful woman. Highly creative too. Another Earth is an outstanding film. So smartly done. The Sound of my Voice is also a riveting film with a shocking ending. This woman captures the art of storytelling. And that is her gift to us. I look forward to future films she will write, direct and star in. Thank you, Brit.
She said in 2013 what she made in 2016 in the OA show
Something about Brit gives me a glimpse into my own limitless potential and touch of the Divine.
I just wanna hug her after this speech. This is all I needed today. Thank you, Brit.
Brit is so insightful and beautiful and brilliant. True Goddess.
IM OBSESSED WITH HER
YASSSSS ORIGINAL ANGEL!!! Kill it guuurl!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Brit is so Inspiring! wow!
This was so moving.. it totally reminds me of The OA.
I'm watching this right after finishing the OA part 1 and I'm speechless and moved like never before ..
I wish I'd seen this my freshman year, it would've been a completely different four years of my life. So inspiring, I love this.
Is never too late to make a change, college doesn't define who you are.
Oh wowww. super super super inspiring and touching. Watching this in 2019, and the values that she mentioned about connection and tribe are so evidently portrayed in her works of The OA. Thank you for inspiring us Brit Marling :)
You're amazing Brit❤
Wow, so moving. I love her soul. She is an inspiration.
The ORIGINAL ANGEL 😇
Can u guys hear it those key words, they are in the OA this was probably inspired she knew what show she was making this whole time
Iamdavid 23 yup

Thanks for uploading this. Exactly the encouragement I needed to hear
queen brit marling snapped that day huh
Gosh she is amazing! Such a great stroy teller.
OA can tell stories so nicely of her past life.
such an inspirer! we are looking up to you Brit!
She has an extraordinary insight into the Human Condition. Wonderful speech...
No more than most people. She is just able to express it better than others.
I just fell completely in love.
Anyone else here after The OA Season 2?
Here is the genesis of the OA
Especially the Hunter gather part was lifted verbatim from this
That's inspiring. Brit Marling is so brave to pursue a career in the show biz despite having a different career beforehand.
This is kind of the synopsis of 'La La Land', she's mindblowing.
The original angel
She is exactly the women i'm thinking of ...someone who is so calm, voice so pretty , beautiful personality.
I can listen to her hours !!!
Brit is amazing.
In this short speech I was basically given the explanation on how the oa became oa. Effortless beauty such a great human and show
She has an air to her voice that is so enveloping to listen to
I love her so much, she is an inspiration to everyone, she es so beautiful, amazing, and intelligent woman.
She's from my planet!
Amazing woman!
Bruh she’s so beautiful
Take me with you !
i love you brit marling
So inspiring!!!
I'm in love with her brain.
Brit Marling for President!
why am I crying right now??
I wish I had a Zal and a Mike :'(
You did or someone else had you. Like she said, you all missed each other as you passed through your life. We do this if we fail to group with whom we are given. Maybe you" took the road less traveled by." There still are the right people ion the road you chose.
If you're beautiful it's easier
Maybe you are a Zal or Mike :) Stay positive!
Love her friendship story,
They should make their own story film to show us “ make your dream come true “
Entrancing. Enthralling. With some great advice.
Just one of a kind !
And this before her best work. OA!
