  • this video is a little bit different than my normal ones because it isn't ha ha funny falsettos but shows a little bit more of the serious side to this musical. i decided not to over-edit this video in order to preserve the seriousness. if this makes you too sad go watch my other videos (that's what i'm doing)

    marvin’s double “i never wanted to love you” hurts so much, especially to me as a member of the repressed gay community. he never wanted to love trina, he didn’t want to love women. he was made to love women. and he just as equally didn’t want to love whizzer, someone who he was forbidden to love during his time period. he was stuck in the middle, and no matter how much of a jerk he was to begin with, that’s pain that many people dont get over.

    • @free_siobhan

      I feel like it also shows how Marvin is so obsessed with being right in the beginning that he says this to Trina to I guess make her feel worse? But honestly your interpretation makes a lot more sense and also adds to the emotion. Either way, William Finn is a lyrical genius and should have his own holiday.

She didn’t know how to vent that frustration and that’s where her pain comes from. She’s one of the most complex characters in the show and oh my god SJB is so talented too.

    6:03 when Whizzer says “I’m sorry” it feels like he’s saying I’m sorry as in “I know why I’m sick and I probably gave it to you.” And Whizzer isn’t even thinking about the possibility of himself dying he’s thinking about what he could’ve done to Marvin and I’m NOT ok

      As someone who’s been through some similar shit, it breaks me everytime too. In that moment, Jason must have realized so much. How much he loved his mom and wanted to protect her, but the most painful part is this: what happened has happened. There’s no taking that slap back, there’s no stopping Marvin from doing it, and all the hate he had for Marvin before it and after it doesn’t make a _drop_ of difference. He can’t change his dad, he can’t hit him back, he can’t make Trina, Mendel, Marvin, and Whizzed happy. The discourse will continue no matter what he does, so there is nothing left. The only thing that is left is disbelief, and the sound of Trina crying.

  • @melodyb181

    I feel like Marvin’s tiny scared “what” at 6:41 is very unnoticed and it’s a really huge and sad moment displayed so minimally. I’m assuming it’s when he either learned what could be wrong, or at least that whizzer would have to stay in the hospital for a while, and either way it’s really sad.

    the sad knowledge that trina FELL IN LOVE with Marvin,, then he broke her heart,, then she found a family in the disfunction,, only to have it to be torn to pieces by hiv,, (because not only did whizzer die to it,, marvin will too,, and he STILL IS THE MAN TRINA LOVES) -not saying she doesn't love mendel,, it's just that you don't fall out of love with someone,, u CAN move on,, but the love is ALWAYS there-

    You need to take into consideration though that Marvin probably had it to during the end. And little Jason went from having three dads to eventually only having one, because damn it if Whizzer wasn't apart of their family, damn it if Tina didn't love him at least a little bit; Because those were her boys. And when he died, Marvin went shortly after. And suddenly their family was growing smaller.

I adore the rage and bitterness Andrew Rannells brings to Whizzer; the chap I saw played him as very vapid and naive which really left him with very little to do with the character.

    I held together until whizzer said “I’m read-“ and then fell and I started actually crying. After that there was no hope. Haha. My sleeve is soaked.

    Jason placing the chess piece on Whizzer's grave will always hurt me the most. It's the part that finally made me cry. It's just so heartbreaking to see how Whizzer's death affected everyone in the show because he was such a big part of their lives and made an impact on all of them and it h u r t s .

    One thing that makes me really sad is how depressing Andrew's hair looks at the end of The Chess Game and stays that way until he comes back in Act 2. I feel like that might be symbolizing something, but Idk. It just makes me sad because his hair is so beautiful when he has it combed back...
    Also, the way Andrew's voice breaks when he says 'Marvin' in Unlikely Lovers when he says, "Marvin? Did you hear what I said?"

    The part that gets me is near the end of “Canceling the Bar Mitzvah”, Mendel and Trina’s beautiful little reprise of “Holding to the Ground”, no matter how short and small it may be, tears the heart out of my chest and it’s perpetually a downward spiral from there

    I just started sobbing so hard because I turned up my volume around when Charlotte is examining Whizzer because I heard them talking, and at 6:40 I think I hear Charlotte say “we’ll keep him” and start to pull on him and Marvin in confusion and disbelief says “what?” And the look on his face wow. I couldn’t make out the rest of what they were saying though.

    • @alildaisy2180

    • @alildaisy2180
      @alildaisy2180 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Also after Marvin tells him “anything you do is alright, yes it’s alright. Yes it is.” (Possibly referring to the person he slept with to contract AIDS before he slept with Marvin) Whizzer says “no it’s not.” He feels guilty.
      On and unrelated note I’m actually bawling.

    @misscurls101 5 ปีที่แล้ว +39

    OKAY I'm late but I'm so glad you included Trina's song because it's SO underappreciated. I could talk about it for days. The men in this show all have ongoing themes about life being a game (see The Chess Game esp for this), but Trina's RIGHT, life isn't a game. It really emphasises how obsessed they all are with their own lives and completely don't realise the impact their actions have??? Trina's given up her whole life to the men around her (Marrying Marvin? Her father's idea. Getting divorced? Marvin. it goes on) and she's just TIRED of them not respecting that.
    SORRY I could go off about this song for days. I'm kinda mad March of the Falsettos is straight after. I know it's important symbolically, but I feel like it's weirdness takes away from the impact of this song and how good it is??

    To make you all sadder, I have a theory of the end of the musical. Obviously Marvin has HIV, I’m not sure if it’s canon but it’s implied during the show and most people assume he does. So, Marvin dies. Remember, Trina still loves him even though she’s married to Mendel, she needed a husband to help raise Jason and Mendel seemed like her best option at the time. Since she lost the man she truly loves I go with the theory that she committed because she was already shown to be mentally unstable. So, now we have Mendel, Jason, Charlotte, and Cordelia. This is when my theories begin. Mendel truly loves Trina, but I don’t think he would commit. My theory is he quits his career after becoming severely depressed and possibly a substance abuser. Jason also develops depression after losing his mother and three father figures (Whizzer and Marvin to HIV, Mendel to his substance abuse). This is where the lesbians from next door come in. Even though they lost their friends, they’ll most likely come out just a bit sad but not deeply affected like the rest. Jason seeks them out for comfort and they end up practically raising him while Mendel falls into deeper depression. Mendel either eventually commits or dies of overdosing leaving Jason with his godparents, Charlotte and Cordelia. Jason will grow up with major issues but will go on to be an HIV activist and a great LGBT+ allie, all in memory of his best friend and his father. But that’s just a theory, a musical theory.
