I was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning I break my legs, and every afternoon I break my arms. At night, I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep.
At the beginning of this hero’s journey, Drew experiences betrayal and abandonment due to the negligence of his “friends.” He takes to desperate measures and creates a scenario in which he fakes his own torn ligaments and broken bone structure. By doing this, Drew hopes that his friends will come to his aid and mitigate his attention deprived misery. However, this plan falls short of expectation when he’s met with the reactions of his friends, calling him a, “fucking idiot.” The climax peaks when the perpetrators in the car physically harass him. However, Drew is able to find peace and serenity within himself once he figures out he’s his own best friend, freeing his spirit on the beach. Overall, I hope to see this nominated for an Academy Award, Best Picture 2022. Truly touching, a story of overcoming failure and acceptance that all generations can come to love.
The raw and honest disclosure at the opening of this video juxtaposes the melodramatic and outspoken Phillips that is often portrayed through his online persona. As the thesis progresses, we finally see the satirical, performative, and emotive Drew Phillips as he speaks, "Lying is fun as fuck... I love lying," (Phillips 2:11). As he wraps up his leg, the atmosphere is reminiscent of a Gypsy-Rose-Munchausen archetype. Furthermore, the somber yet playful mood is explicitly portrayed through the bright and infantile colors of the casts as well as the pink "baby crutches". Phillips build the tension of his cinematic universe, creating a hostile and begrudgingly toxic environment for all of his caretakers. As the plot progresses, Enya Umanzor enters and foils Phillips' attention-seeking behavior, she robustly intervenes and makes it known that she is the alpha. Umanzor speaks, "You look like a fucking idiot," (Phillips 12:10). Phillips' psychological agenda is fortified as an unnamed security guard applauds Phillips for his bravery and strength, reinforcing his Munchausen syndrome. Drew Phillips continues as he gaslights all of his friends as they drive to the shoreline. The reality of the situation is comprehended as Phillips cannot seem to get the surgical casts off by himself. Resolve is finally reached when he must come to terms with his embarrassing act as he schedules an appointment with a medical professional to remove the casts. Yet the film ends as we see Phillips happily dancing on the beach in his casts, clarifying to the audience that he did in fact receive exactly what he had hoped for, attentiveness and recognition.
drew did all the girlbossing...his "friends" were literally gatekeeping broken bones and gaslighting him to make him think he was faking his injuries...
i’m just imagining the people at the beach who have no idea what’s going on just seeing a guy in 3 casts get beat by other people while someone else films it
Not to get sappy but he completely turns my day around. This has been the most detrimental few weeks of my school year and he changes my mood and makes my heart happy
I am sorry you’re going through such a hard time, I hope you’re doing better now! I have also been having a terrible few weeks, everything is coming to a head in terms of mental illness and addiction but I’m enjoying my Thursday evening with these videos even if it’s just a moment of laughs!
@@bluebe4201 thank you so much. Just keep pushing through. Find the little things that make you happy. I hope all turns out just how you want it to. Thank you for making it this far!
the lengths you went to for this video. PUTTING A LEGIT CAST on your body. you are insane and ily for it. thank u for existing and keeping yt alive. u will never know what ur channel has done for me
sometimes i feel like it’s just me and drew against the world. this video hit a little too close to home.. absolutely beautiful and so realistic. being the punching bag of the friend group really takes a toll on you🥺🥺 hopefully they learned from this and will do better❤️
you’re “freinds” are so TOXIC. this was so heartbreaking to watch. they laughed while you were in pain. how can they just sit there while a poor innocent man is injured. I can hear the misery and sorrow in your voice, you can’t hide it. I hope you feel better and find some better friends 😔😔
took me over a year to watch this because i wasn’t emotionally ready, i have trauma from my friends not believing my injuries either, hating me and praying on my downfall for gaslighting and gatekeeping, today you gave me hope for my IWASIFI (i want attention so i fake injuries) you’re an inspiration to all girlbosses
you’re not the only one living with IWASIFI , a few months ago i faked breaking my spine and had my friends take me to concerts on a stretcher. i couldn’t see anything but i knew the vibes were most certainly lit ! you’re a survivor, keep speaking your truth 💯🔥
when you are accepting your oscar in 2026 those who laughed, didn’t pay attention to you or prayed on your downfall will be wishing they were nicer to you when you were in a time of need. pain is only temporary. your legacy will live on for generations.
this video is crazy. I was intrigued throughout to get such an in depth and close account of Drew Phillip's case. I don't know if there even is a disease or mental disorder that would accurately categorize this patient symptoms. Such an interesting specimen. Thanks for sharing this video, I am looking forward to watching more videos on this subject and see if he ever gets better
Drew is a true artist. Even the colors of the casts were thought out. The fact he couldn’t take them off was all part of the plan to get more attention. thank you for blessing us with your art. All master artists are narcissistic
Gone girl vibes minus the fake death but for sure making sure the injuries are there and girl boss, taking matters into Drew’s hands to get the attention he so deserves. Just like really radiating girl boss energy
In "how I broke all my bones (the truth)", the viewer is presented with the protagonist's profound journey out of toxic and isolating relationships. Drew's aching desire for human affection amidst a crowd of friends is a testament to the internalized suffering that he is finally starting to work through. The casts are used as a metaphor for the inner work/personal growth that he does to realize and bring to light these emotions, in a very spectacular way. Despite his many cries for help and pained demeanor, he is haunted and ridiculed by his evil friends as per usual. The man at the hospital is a symbol of courage to Drew. To have someone truly believe in him and stand up to him is what he's been searching for all along. However, his toxic clique does not perceive him that way, and rather the interaction adds fuel to their fire. ("He lied to that nice ass guy." -Enya, 14:53) Meanwhile, despite the abuse and verbal assault that occurs in the car and beach scenes, Drew is gaining enough power and inner strength to recognize that the horrifying acts of his entourage are not a reflection of himself, but rather their own inner demons. We see this in his delayed cries of pain when Enya, Josh and Josiah perform the assault. Drew is finally understanding that he does not need to be hurt by them any longer; he has broken out of the cycle. As Drew is coming to terms with these changes, we are presented with him being unable to remove the casts. As previously mentioned, the casts are a symbol for the personal growth that was needed in order for Drew to confront his demons. By allowing the viewer as much time as possible to grapple with this ideology, it begs the question of, what casts do we need in our lives? What wounds must we break free from? This visceral, honest and raw depiction of pain, relationships, love and loss, is a narrative that many of us are familiar with. The strongest take away from the film is that by being the first to look within, actively seek help from the people who are hurting him and become self aware, we know that drew is the superior of the group. The only thing we can hope is that Enya, Josiah and Josh will eventually follow in his footsteps and take control of their own lives.
The way individuals are treated by society can cause them to act out in ways that are not expected or socially acceptable. Here we can clearly see the subject, Drew, was shunned by his peers and treated inhumanely by those around him. The lack of attention given to him changed his way of thinking and became the catalyst for such extreme behavior. Although we as an audience may view his actions - such as putting on multiple casts and hiding the reasons why - as unhealthy and “evil” or “narcissistic”, it is important to understand where Drew was coming from. We have no idea how we would act when placed under such circumstances. Thus, we all must realize that Drew’s behavior was his way of coping with being shunned and ignored by his friends. It is common knowledge that without human interaction, an individual can go insane. With this in mind, is it any surprise that Drew felt the need to act in such a manner? At the end of the day, we must all use this as a chance to reflect and think back to times we may have acted in a similar manner to any of the persons in this video. Have we ever ignored any of our friends, be that intentionally or unintentionally? Or have we ever been in Drew’s position, so lonely that we feel only a spectacle can satisfy our craving for attention?
the story was an emotional roller coaster. one is opened up to the protagonist, drew, as a catalyst. he’s drawn as slightly manipulative. but once the viewer peels back this initial layer, viewers are able to feel the emotional depth and eventual sympathy for drew. a story of rawness; and ultimately isolation. to feel alone in a group of people, to feel ostracized from your own. raw, effortlessly complex.
I can’t believe it didn’t click that the casts were a video when I saw clips of you the other day and I truly believed you had been in a traumatic accident and coming for Jeff Wittek’s neck
Drew begins his story cloaked with sarcasm and self deprecating humour. His fictional story of being left outside of his friend group is an analogy for the inner turmoil he feels when he is surrounded by the glitz and glamour of LA, yet inside he feels so, so, so alone. He says he loves lying but the only lie he tells in reality is "I'm fine, really". The whole premise of Drew wanting to have a broken body is that it will match his broken mind but the mind is not as easily fixed as the body. Pretty nails though, 10/10.
Drew thank you for this masterpiece. I was so astonished to see the idea of "broken bones" and the fact that is his "truth". Now if we delve deeper into the storyline viewers are able to see the mistreatment Drew faces from his peers. The casts show the fact that inside of him, something is deeply broken and faced a large trauma. The mistreatment from others is a physical representation of what Drew has felt his whole life. Abused, hurt and neglected. All he wants is love and compassion, but he finds this a challenge to receive as he is misunderstood and unique. The fact that the casts are bright fun colours, shows that drew wants to break out of the dark and start a new life afresh positively. I love you Drew keep up the good work.
I think that this truly encapsulates the lengths we as a society will go for attention but more importantly it’s very telling on how society lacks to give individuals attention. I feel often especially in western thought and culture we emphasize the importance of individualism, yet we don’t see how individualism harms the others around us. This film portrays this experience perfectly. The “friends” of drew are so caught up in their own worlds in the beginning of the plot that we see drew try to contain his feelings, and then when he comes up with a plan to get his peers to notice him again they don’t. Instead they laugh at what extremes he has gone yet they do not know that although he is not in physical pain he is in a mental one. It isn’t until later when drew has the cast on for hours and nights that we see his friends start to worry, they even try to include him in things like karaoke. Ultimately in this film we see the negative effects of individualism and how because of we seek attention but there is also a lack of it. Wish this was on letterboxd 5/5.
I'll never forget the high of how much attention I got when I had a broken arm in 6th grade. That was the shit. You really inspired me to believe that it could happen again, tysm Drew ❤️
So glad we got to hear your story and plan on getting your friends attention drew, truly a cinematic master piece i was so excited for this video, thank you drew
please disclose the song title from 17:20 to 18:40 it’s so fire i’ve scavenged the entire internet and i haven’t found one single lead please i’m using my last dying breath to ask this
THE MOMENT before he tried using scissors, I started asking myself “Don’t they usually use surgical saws to remove those?” So glad the removal was a feature experience.

That poor security guard was actually shocked omg
i adore the breathing in my ear at 3:00 this asmr gave me major tingles !!!!
The way individuals are treated by society can cause them to act out in ways that are not expected or socially acceptable. Here we can clearly see the subject, Drew, was shunned by his peers and treated inhumanely by those around him. The lack of attention given to him changed his way of thinking and became the catalyst for such extreme behavior. Although we as an audience may view his actions - such as putting on multiple casts and hiding the reasons why - as unhealthy and “evil” or “narcissistic”, it is important to understand where Drew was coming from. We have no idea how we would act when placed under such circumstances. Thus, we all must realize that Drew’s behavior was his way of coping with being shunned and ignored by his friends. It is common knowledge that without human interaction, an individual can go insane. With this in mind, is it any surprise that Drew felt the need to act in such a manner?
At the end of the day, we must all use this as a chance to reflect and think back to times we may have acted in a similar manner to any of the persons in this video. Have we ever ignored any of our friends, be that intentionally or unintentionally? Or have we ever been in Drew’s position, so lonely that we feel only a spectacle can satisfy our craving for attention?
Jesus fucking Christ, Jess 🤧
You’re about to see a bunch of people on the streets with casts because this is an amazing idea. I crave attention. Brb

It isn’t until later when drew has the cast on for hours and nights that we see his friends start to worry, they even try to include him in things like karaoke. Ultimately in this film we see the negative effects of individualism and how because of we seek attention but there is also a lack of it. Wish this was on letterboxd 5/5.
LMAO THE ENDING 😭
