@@AlystrZelland yeah maybe we need to stop looking at him and look at the reasons why he has those problems and the people who helped/contributed to making them
I finally understand this scene. This scene shows the lack of empathy and excessive cruelty Barry was subjected to. This mistreatment and abuse is what lead to his anxiety and distorted self image.
There might be a lack of empathy there, but I think "excessive cruelty" is a bit much. I mean, they're pushy sisters, but plenty of people have pushy sisters. They're obviously loving sisters. Barry has emotional problems. An emotionally healthy person would not react to this kind of innocent ribbing the way he does. Could they be more considerate? Yes. But I don't think they're cruel.
@@jon8004 Also, 'excessive' cruelty would seem to suggest that there's a 'right amount' of cruelty. We can be kind to Barry as he's the focus of the film but it would serve us best to take the view that the sister's weren't aware of how their jibes were taken by Barry.
This guy clearly didn’t make the right choice in acting. I know he’s hilarious and he must be worth 300$m, but if he kept doing movies like uncut gems, hustle or this, he could have easily won an oscar in his career
The first 20 seconds of him walking in and out of the door to the party is the most relatable 20 seconds in any movie for me. Society anxiety is a bitch.
Toxic sisters. I would snap too. [Edit] Upon rewatching, i subtly heard one of this sisters go "c'mon Gay biy, time to eat", and the slight twitch in his look was him finally snapping yet again
Dude, that ain't a toxic family. That's a big family with a lot of people. That's a relatively healthy family. He's lucky to have that family. Toxic families do not look like that. His is just a little pushy and insensitive. But far from toxic.
Watching this in the context of late-in-life ADHD & ASD diagnosis. The overstimulation, the social anxiety and isolation, the masking-hello signs, I missed you.
Im undiagnosed asd and adhd and if u like this i reccommend to watch submarine by Richard Ayoade, i believe they are quite similiar and i connected with them both in very similiar ways
This scene alone is better than so many books and movies in their entirety. You don’t know how life-like this scene is and how difficult that is to write detail for detail let alone choreograph into a working movie scene
I don't have a sister, yet I'm the eldest brother, but this has got to be the most gut-wrenching scene I have ever seen! There's nothing more painful than being looked down by your own siblings!
@@FoulMouthActual Never be sorry in this life time. I learnt that being alone, you understand yourself better and you find people who make you stronger. You never know, those people who make you stronger can take you to levels you never would have ever dreamt of.
I watched this scene when I was a kid and it brought me to tears and I remember a kind of aching feeling wash over me and an overwhelming urge to hug him. I rewatched this as an adult and it still brought me to tears but now I know what I felt was compassion. 💕
Imagine being shy and not wanting attention brought to you and your family members says, remember we used to call you gay boy all loud and they don't drop the subject. 😬
Christ, I feel like this any time I go to a party with a bunch of people already there, especially with family. Even if you love them and they you, it's just so overwhelming: did I miss saying hi to anyone, rice or dandruff, was I stupid to bring a cake or was that fucking rude, turn around another person, turn around another person, oh I missed you yeah hey how you doin? Yeah, yeah, I don't remember. Ha ha yeah, very funny, haha let's move on...please move on. CAN I GET AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE. gay boy? SNAP.
Very well said! This is why I look for pets at parties. I am typically always the one in the corner playing with a cat or petting a dog. People who host parties without pets stress me out 🤣
It’s really sad how he is probably bullied so profusely by his sisters or other people which I know is never really shown that he became socially awkward and is afraid to say the wrong things worrying about being scrutinized or made of fun. It’s a relatable depiction, I’m glad it was put in front and center because a lot of people that I know feel this same way also not to mention I have talked to many, they talk in this cadence and have broken down crying because they have nobody to talk too without feeling belittled.
@@dynamicdave2647 no, his sisters are domineering busy bodies. They don't respect his boundaries, and Adam's character doesn't exert his boundaries. He's been stepped over his whole life.
They provoke and tease him, sure. It’s likely it amuses them and it very well could relate to some kind of power dynamic between him and his sisters but “power play” and “his anger entertained them” may be overstating things a bit.
I didn’t really laugh during this scene maybe in the smashing but then I got it and got emotional. People in the row in front of me starting laughing when he broke down and no one in the audience was laughing but them lol. I mean I understand maybe these guys are young, but I didn’t take it as a funny scene like that
I read a review once that stated that this was the closest Adam Sandler would ever get to an Oscar nomination. Such a shame that an actor of such talent could not have gone on to greater things. I have always said Punch Drunk Love is one of the finest representations of mental illness in a Hollywood film. Sandler's performance here is up there with the great 'manic' performances, and I feel his contribution to film was overlooked here. I never had any respect for the man, until I saw this deeply nuanced, intelligent and truley honest porayal of a man on the very edge, hanging on by his fingernails. If only there were more films to really bring home the truth of mental illness..;)
We gotta be there for people like this. We see someone do something like this and immediately judge them and think that they are perpetrators when in reality they could be victims. Always be slow to judge and compassionate.
Because that's the way they always treated him, and he didn't confront them about it. We see him confronting his sister for the first time when he finds love.
The dentist is played by Robert Smigel, most famously the performer of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog but also a longtime writer for SNL, Conan, TV Funhouse, the Dana Carvey Show, and many other projects. Sandler isn't the only one showing their dramatic chops here.
Barry consoles to someone he mistakes for a psychologist and has a breakdown. Worse, the next day or so, one of the sisters confronts him about his episode which tells him that he cant talk to nobody because they just shamelessly gossip and slander about him openly or behind his back. Barry was a lonely heart through and through and this *family* of his couldnt be mature and considerate toward him.
I have the same anxious feeling anytime I have to go home. Just the constant noise and yelling and tension always made me feel kinda sick. My family has changed a lot and it's not as bad as it used to be but the feeling of going home still stresses me out for days before. This film really helped me understand my own feelings. I have 3 sisters and I come from a family of mostly women, it can be so exhausting sometimes. I've never lost it however. I did once but my sister laughed at me because I'd never released anger before. It felt like I only let out 50% at the time but her reaction seemed to lock down something inside me. Family ay!
This is personally my favorite Sandler movie 🎥 it was a different movie from his other movies his performance is this was amazing he should of won the Golden Globe in 2002
I remember seeing this in a theatre and the teenagers infront of me complaining and totally not getting it cause they were expecting something like happy Gilmore or mr deeds
Sandler (as Smigel’s old buddy from the SNL days) must have vouched for him to Paul Thomas Anderson. Smigel was great in this scene, too (“Barry…I’m a dentist”, lol)
What is a scene for you that you didn't understand when you were younger but came to understand as you got older? For me, it's the window smashing scene in punch drunk love. I can't really explain it, but I've been so frustrated I've wanted to break every window in sight.
I have 4 sisters. They arent this bad but they are tremendously unaware. I can only take them in small doses a few times a month. This is in my top 5 films of all time. I relate way too much to Barry.
What always hits is when he finally acts out, he is just immediately screamed at and insulted with not even a moment of quiet shock from the sisters or concern for him doing something so out of character. Not that I expect one to be pleased with having their glass doors broken, but it is straight to instant belligerence at him. It just shows how out of whack the power dynamics that he cant even respond without immediate repression.
I need to rewatch this movie. I think I found it a little too slow when I first saw it. Nonetheless Sandler was incredible in it. Just watching him here I was very impressed with his acting.
As a man who's had only 4 sisters and no brother... Ouch. I can't fully relate (mainly to the violent outburst) but I can definitely relate on well-being gestures but get overshadowed and being shy and alone because you don't have Brothers and only sisters. My sisters learned to accept me for what I am and will help me when I need it but damn, watching this... ouch.
My sister and cousins always pick on me and tease me to the point we're I wanted to do something . But think God this film and this scene happen. You see they can tease you but when you did it to them they call me all kind of names .... Adam Sandler is awesome and my hero.
