I meant that "not giving a fuck" is actually highly maintained facade (the Italians call it sprazaturra) and people who look effortless and not giving a fuck are actually the hard working people. people who actually don't give a fuck are usually unemployed and wake & bake (I love weed but I must admit most stoners are lazy cunts).

    I remember a Siskel and Ebert review of Stripes in Bill's early career where one of them remarked what makes Bill Murray so fun to watch is he seems like the typical funny guy in the back of a theater that adds his own punch lines to the movie was somehow transplanted to star in the movie.

    I got a "no one will ever believe you" Bill moment at an airport in Alberta.
    Basically we had a conversation where he said he could take all my stuff and no one would ever believe me if I tried to say so. Then shit got real (this is paraphrased because I can't remember the word for word exchange):
    Bill: "Yeah, I could just take your stuff. Done". (exact words)
    Me: "Why don't you"?
    Bill: "I probably have cooler stuff than you". (exact words)
    Me: "Yeah... I guess".
    Bill: "A thief with little power in the world wants your stuff and mine. But he has to grab it and run. I could just snag it and walk away no problem. The thief needs your stuff and can't get it easily. I don't need or want your stuff and I can have it easily. The more power you have, the more you realize there's nothing to spend it on". (paraphrase)
    Me: "So we only want it because we can't have it"?
    Bill: "Do you want to tell anyone this conversation happened"? (paraphrase)
    Me: "Yes".
    Bill: "Think you will"? (exact words)
    Me: "If I can be anonymous, maybe".
    Bill: "Good plan; you can't tell anyone about this because you'll be a liar and no one likes liars. But you want to tell people because everyone likes people who have met Bill Murray".
    Me: "Only you could get away with saying that and not be pompous".
    Bill: "I think you still don't see your problem".
    After that, he just walked away. Black/grey long and heavy coat, four buttons visible on the front, no scarf, sort of leather looking shoulder covers, hands never left his coat pockets. a smaller grey jacket underneath.
    I still don't understand the story. The real knife twister is; I can't tell anyone about it so I can never get help to figure it out.

  • @donemigholzjr.7344
    @donemigholzjr.7344 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Yes, Bill Murray is one of if not the ultimate artist. This is because he realizes that it is his job, his mission to go out there as far as possible but unlike many great artists he is working or conscious of coming back. All artists can learn from this; it is not how far you can go, it is the ability to come back that counts. Artists need to show it is okay to go out, far out because it is possible to come back, maybe not all the way back but back to a place of stability that can once again pivot and take a turn to once again explore.

      The only thing absurd is comparing the likes of Bill Murray to the legendary Groucho Marx. Murray's lack of enthusiasm and effort is being mistaken for artistic expression. He will be remembered for Ghostbusters, a film that was memorable in its own right and could have survived without his mild responses to anything remotely consequential to his character.

I studied Gurdjief for many years and feel that the application of the Fourth Way's methods make me a better person. P.D.Ouspensky really helped to make Mr Gurjief's teachings much more understandable and practical for Western Man.

    Its more than simply his apathetic detachment that makes his characters fascinating - its the fact that he manages to become active in his role only when he chooses too. When it really matters. When something has clearly affected him. He interacts with a deliberate and disarming awkwardness that makes his lines seem heartfelt and almost unscripted. Its a style more often seen in British comedy, where being "Unprofessional" among professionals marks you out as the true hero - the guy who cant keep it together, or doesnt want to bother, but tries anyway. (See The Life of Brian, Shaun of the Dead, or even Mr Bean).

    I was on a golf course 30 years ago and Bill Murray was there. He and a friend got paired up with a couple of teen-aged kids. During the round one of the kids flew the green with his approach shot and it rolled into the parking lot. Murray walked up and peered toward the lot and in his Carl Spackler voice quipped " I think it rolled under that Buick over there".

  • @MrDJCoulton
    @MrDJCoulton 7 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    What really capture the essence of Murray for me is his monologue in Tootsie; it goes something like
    ""I don’t want a full house at the Winter Garden. I want people who just came out of the worst rainstorm in history. These are people who are alive on the planet… until they dry off. I wish I had a theater that was only open when it rained,"
    That really encapsulates this feelings of homelessness - the futility of trying to achieve a personal connection with strangers.

    Bill Murray has been my hero for a couple months now. My school went on a trip to a book store where we were allowed to get one book for the school and one for ourselves. I meandered around a bit, then stumbled upon "The Big Bad Book of Bill Murray". This book gives an A to Z description of everything important in his life. It is the greatest thing I have ever read. If you think this video is amazing, you should read this book.This man has done more than you could possibly imagine. He named his dog bark for fuck sake! How awesome is that?!

    Bill Murray is an icon, everyone knows who he is. He instantly stands out as being different, because he is. He is completely in the moment and transcends the norm. He isn't like anyone else because he doesn't react like anyone else, he somehow sees everything in a different light.
    It would be interesting if we all did this. There would be no expectation because there would be nothing to expect. If we all lived in the moment, everything would be a surprise, we would never know what was coming next. Every second of every minute would be an adventure.
    Rock on Bill Murray. Keep doing you. Perhaps someday we'll all learn to do the same.

  • @morgangalmeister4023

    Bill Murray's humor is definitely one of my favorites throughout cinema comedy. What I love about him is how his persona stays relatively consistent throughout different movies. His character is always a comforting one-- I can always count on it to be a good movie if he is in it! His use of sarcasm and irony really help to lighten any mood and his surprises keep viewers on their toes. I honestly never know what he is going to say. But at the same time, he is so relatable to the audience. He comes across as an old friend, making audience members comfortable. Many characters these days seem stiff and stagnant. Bill Murray seems to act so naturally all the time and to me I am able relate to his character and almost feel like I am in the movie. I relate well to that type of humor so I really enjoy all the movies that he is in.

    I found this video rather enlightening. It explains so much about how we perceive Bill Murray's actions. The distancing from the self and the surroundings seem almost attainable, but the distancing from the self that remains distant from the other two entities seems nigh impossible, yet is evident in Bill Murray's performances. I like how it addresses all the classic tropes of Bill Murray movies and connects them in a way that helps us to not only understand, but sympathize with his persona.

    I really appreciate the Earthing Cinema's Hidden Meaning videos, but truly enjoy the The Philosophy of video's much much more. Limiting the jokes, and taking a more thorough, explanatory approach makes for a much more engaging video. The balance of entertainment, jokes, visualization, and education is almost perfect. The length is also wonderful. I hate we channels feel they need to cut a video below 8 minutes for attention reasons. I understand these take longer to produce due to these reasons, but just wanted to share my admiration for your guys' efforts. Keep up the good work.

    I am surprisingly impressed in the way Bill Murray creates a character that only he initially understands. He reminds me of Deadpool. In the comic book world, Deadpool breaks the fourth barrier to exist outside of the marvel universe. Likewise, Bill is able to escape his character and enter our dimension. This adds sarcasm in such a way, that one must understand not only the character being played, but also the ethos of Bill himself. He creates a theme, as expressed in Parks and Recreation, that makes him hilarious without having to say a word. He truly is out of the ordinary, but that makes him incredible.

    I don't doubt that Bill Murray or Larry David and their like are funny people. But I definitely do think there is a cult of personality around them that makes them seem more funny than they actually are. It begins with people thinking "Oh, that's Bill Murray, everyone says he's funny, therefore literally everything he does is funny."

    To answer the final question of whether Bill Murray's whole career is an intervention for people or a joke, I personally think that it's all just part of his humorous nature. I think dry humor is one of his best personality traits and it makes people laugh and feel happy, so that's why he does it. I like that he incorporates his humor into all of his acting roles because it makes him seem more like the "I don't care" cool guy. He doesn't care what other people think and he does what he wants.

      No, it is not. Many people have money, time, and nothing else to do, and yet almost no one acts like Bill Murray. I mean acts as in how he behaves. He could be on yachts or villas or any number of things which are common from rich and famous people do, but he does not. The video literally talked about this.

    • @tooties545
      @tooties545 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Loathomar Common for other rich people, not Bill Murray. That's it. if Bill Murray wasn't rich, would he take a taxi to San Francisco and drive while cabbie practices his saxophone? Crashing private parties without negative consequences? Sorry, only with fame.

    • @Loathomar
      @Loathomar 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Achilles Well ya, if someone who was not Bill Murray did the things he did there would clearly be negative consequences. His fame and money allow him to do what he does without negative consequences, but money, time, and nothing else to do, doesn't really explain him, so it is not that simple.

    @jenconlee7903 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is such a cool video. I've seen a lot of Bill Murray's movies, but I guess I haven't consciously realized that his personality is pretty consistent across the roles he plays. He's made a recognizable identity of himself. It's also really interesting how he acts as if detached from his character and what is going on around him. He's essentially playing himself reacting to the plot. I read somewhere a long time ago that things which are absurd or unexpected are humorous to us. What makes Bill so funny is that his reactions are not what we would expect from someone in that situation. For example, in Ghost Busters when he comments, "Okay, so she's a dog." We would expect someone else to be afraid or weirded out, but he just seems to be mildly observing. I find characters like that really interesting, I guess in part because of what the video said about them connecting to the audience better. Sometimes I find that the funniest comments in real life conversations are ones that make detached observations like that.

      At my local hollywood palms when it opened they did a showing of what about bob. Richard Dreyfuss was there. He dodged questions about "what was it like to work with Bill Murray" or seemed rather irked about the whole thing. Possibly because of how distanced Murray was from the seriousness of Dreyfuss' own rigid acting method. It was fucking hilarious when he started going on some rant about the government not being taught to children in schools. Long story short they must have some sort of beef with each other which makes What About Bob? even more special to me.

    • @Bix12
      @Bix12 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Civics should be taught in school. The reason it isn't is so when these students become adults they won't have any idea how our government works and will be far, far less likely to participate in the process thus making controlling the masses all that much easier. I really don't understand why you would think not teaching that to our children a bad thing or something to be scoffed at. We are going to hell in a hand basket, and most people are greasing the skids. If that's case (and it is) we deserve everything we get.

    • @WitzyZed
      @WitzyZed 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      ***** I completely understand that it's an issue he's passionate about, and why shouldn't he use that spotlight to call attention to the issue. But he did this in Naperville, Illinois, quoting Wikipedia here "Naperville was voted the second-best place to live in the United States by Money magazine in 2006" there are some of the highest funded school districts here, and US government is a required course in our high school curricula. So it didn't really make sense to be preaching this in that location. On top of that the awkwardness beforehand of him apparently despising Bill Murray.

    • @Bix12
      @Bix12 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Naperville should be the norm for ALL school districts/income demographics for the entire country. Rather than throw stones at what should be happening everywhere, we should throw stones at the overwhelming majority of the country that this isn't happening. I've noticed that people condemn the good, rather than direct that condemnation where it belongs. It's comparable to the trend in this country that embraces ignorance while disparaging intelligence.

    Some many years ago after a two day work binge, exhausted and drinking I saw Murray on ESPN I believe receiving an award for Micheal Jordan where he went on to thank all of the children in sweat shops who made the award possible and said if you ever feel like your little fingers are too tired to produce another shoe, just do it, or something like that. I was not alone and my friends remember the same thing but I have never found any copy of that award ceremony. Anyone else?
