i personally think jake gyllenhaal and ryan gosling are the two actors that perfectly play characters that are indifferent and emotionally dislocated. their movies are just so relatable to watch... another jake gyllenhaal film i'd recommend everyone to watch is "nocturnal animals"
Recently I’ve been looking at certain actors differently, in a category of “can really bring it but doesn’t have to to get a pay check” and Jake Gyllenhall, Ryan Gosling and Colin Farrell, Adam Sandler as others examples are all on it. They’re good actors. Like really good. And they have delivered some incredible roles. But they also seem to be in a lot of projects that simply don’t demand or need a lot from them, so they don’t do a lot. It’s not a criticism in itself. We all have days at work and tasks that we do for the pay check. But I just think it’s a waste of their talent when we know from previous works that they can do so much more. And I blame the films for that, not the actors. If you make a bad film and expect actors to be good it’s just lazy and dependant. It’s one of the reasons I don’t watch films based on big names, it’s like a warning that they’re trying to sell you garbage so they’ve put all the budget into actors to draw an audience anyway and try cover everyone else’s failings. (unless is Nick Cage. I’ll watch anything if Nick Cage is in it) It’s not like, for example Adam Driver, Paul Dano, Robert De Niro, Daniel Day Lewis, who deliver even when no one else is lifting a finger. Which has its own problems because it makes even half decent films look bad because only one person is giving that academy performance. But I just thought it was interesting, to have range where you can literally try as hard as you’re being asked to. It’s quite inconsistent but not in a bad way. It shows an ability to adapt, if nothing else. They’re average parts of average movies and great parts of great movies if that makes sense. Also Prisoners is a film that really made me respect Gyllenhall’s work and at the same time I think as great as his performance was he was massively in the shadow of Hugh Jackmans incredible performance (one of his best in my opinion)
Absolutely, he's one of the most incredible actors and so underrated. He puts everything in to his roles. I have seen all of his films and 99% of the time I think he carries the entire film. He's got an amazing attention to detail. He's so good on stage too as as a theater actor. Unfortunately though he is just one of those actors that doesn't get the amount of credit he deserves
a lot of his roles are all about him carrying the role. He plays a lot of movies where hes the main focal point like this movie and donnie darko and nightcrawler and brokeback. He always has a major part in the movie.
What other "credit" would you suggest than many major movie companies wanting him in their products over the years? I'd say that's credit enough, given that it's his career. Someone who works well in an office and gets a promotion gets the credit they deserve. Same concept. He's a good actor but he's just another person. Let's not act like people need to praise the ground he walks on for him to have his "credit". :)
@Yeeyee even before spider man,everybody knew him but may b not from name.He was well known after prince of persia.Going into indie was his decision tho. Even at such a young age,he has achieved the title of "Elite actor". I mean i didn't keep tabs on him but was so surprised that he was in MCU considering he is above superhero films..but he got paid between 8-15 millions in FFH.that says a lot about him tho.
Just watched that last night for the first time. Such a beautiful movie, easily one of my favourites of his now. The relationship between him and the kid was brilliant
Great take on Demolition. As a big Jake Gyllenhaal fan, the film didn’t left a big impression on me. I didn’t love it or hate it. But now I kinda rewatch it to see if my opinion has changed
So, what happened after the second watch ? Just like you i'm a fan of his, and just like you this movie first came as a "meh". Then i rewatched it this year and felt like it was one of the best movies i've ever seen.
He has done a exceptional performance in 'Enemy' similar to demolition. Complexity of thought process of an individual is explained to a greater extent
So glad someone else touched on this film. Having experienced grief more times than I count anymore, this film absolutely represents what it's like. Distractions, tearing down walls you've previously built. All of those things are relatable. I feel this is his best film of all. Incredibly real.
@@Guitar-Dog no one here is wallowing. But when I have heavy grief which I have, it's always flowing in u like liquid. It's your blood now, that doesn't change. It just shifts.
Damn, just hearing you explain the film made me tear up. It’s really suck cause I’m a very emotionally person, I just don’t show it when I’m around people. So whenever something bad happens, people see me as “emotionless” for not reacting the same way everyone else is.
Jake is my favorite actor, when I usually tell people that they are thrown off but seriously his versatility is unmatched. I have others like Sam Rockwell, Edward Norton, James Mcavoy, Joseph Gordon levitt, Ashton sanders, Lakeith stanfield, among others in my list of favorites but Jake has a special place in my heart.
I first noticed Sam Rockwell, in a really small movie called Box of Moonlight, with John Turturro. Excellent character piece. Has something special, and Rockwell just Carrie’s it along.
God Demolition was a masterpiece and I'm so glad you mentioned it. But one of my favourite jake moments is the Prisoners Door scene. The way his face slowly goes from cheery and happy to pissed and ready to go. The slight twitch in his mouth and eye is brilliant. The real melt away moment.
One movie I really adore is "Buried" starring Ryan Reynolds. It's so unique, so well acted and really nails the claustrophobic atmosphere. Highly recommend it, as it completely goes against everything you're used to from Reynolds and shows how he's capable of so much more than just comedy.
i remember being interested in this movie and giving it a watch in the cinema. I went alone and the movie really effected me at the time and brought up those points of reflection that you mentioned (personal freedom, etc) I've watched it a couple of times since then and I still resonate with it so deeply and it's kind of a personal gem for me, to the point that (and I'm sure we all have a movie like this) whenever I find that SO in my life, showing her this movie would be an extreme act of intimacy for me.
watched this movie after breaking up with my first girlfriend atfer a 5 year relationship, i was in the same place as the main character just living life not feeling anything really from the breakup didn´t cry didn´t anything, and watching this i could relate so much to a lot of things that were happening it really did hit me
i watched demolition when i had nothing to watch on netflix. n it really shocked me how good this movie was yet nobody wasn't talking about it. the fact that i followed through the character build up probably just like how the director was expecting the viewers to do was just amazing
Honestly what's so amazing about Jake's acting that he can show so much emotion and personality just from his eyes alone. Other than that, literally every move he makes, no matter how subtle, is literally made to fit his character
Was surprised to hear this was your first video at the end! The commentary you provided was wonderful. It was an oddly relatable topic framed in a way I didn’t expect, thanks for this video
So glad someone is talking about this movie. I know I'm late to watching this video, but I'm glad I've watched it. You perfectly described the movie in a way most people can get behind without ruining it. I've tried to convince people to watch this movie, but now I'll just send them this!
I watched this movie after the first time watching your video. This movie stayed with me a long time. At that time, I was dealing with a personal tragedy of my own, and it helped me recover. Thanks for making this video.
This video just popped up in my feed so when you said this was your first video on TH-cam I was shocked. Very well done. It seemed like a lot of other top movie or actor review pages.
This turned me on to a movie I might never have heard of elsewhere. Brilliantly written video. Thanks for the content you make. You deserve far more than 1k subs. Hope it comes to you soon, man.
Its literally one of my all time favourite movies. I dont watch it for a long time and your words about it with all of These scenes, made me remember how i loved it and started to cry because of you talking about feelings. Thank you for that Man💪✌
A couple months late; I think you nailed what you should keep or change in your TH-cam videos with what Jake’s character realizes at the end of Demolition. There’s no “one way,” or “right way” to process emotion, and there isn’t a single way to make TH-cam videos. I really enjoyed your content and I hope you continue to make more!
it's funny that Leo deserved an oscar for so many roles and he finally gets one for what is probably his least enjoyable movie. I thought the revenant was incredibly boring and overrated
Another few films that come to mind for me are The Day After Tomorrow and Zodiac. I never see or hear anyone talking about these two films and I personally think they’re good films and that he’s great in them
This movie is my favorite jg movie. I connected with his character deeply, and it really made a lasting impact on my life. I rewatch it with friends when they go through similar stuff.
Edit at 0:24 : He actually only got nominated for the Oscar, he didn't win, my bad
It's ok. We forgive you. This time.
it's ok.
9:23pm 27/04/2022.
I don't blame you..I have thought he already won.Recently came to know he has been just nominated once!
I couldn't tell this was your very first video, It was so professional!
He did win the BAFTA for best supporting actor .
i personally think jake gyllenhaal and ryan gosling are the two actors that perfectly play characters that are indifferent and emotionally dislocated. their movies are just so relatable to watch... another jake gyllenhaal film i'd recommend everyone to watch is "nocturnal animals"
I was literally thinking about ryan gosling too!
that movie is so good and so disturbing.

Nocturnal Animals is super underrated
Nocturnal Animals is my favourite movie and Gyllenhaal and Gosling are my favourite actors!! Wtf?!
Absolutely, he's one of the most incredible actors and so underrated. He puts everything in to his roles. I have seen all of his films and 99% of the time I think he carries the entire film.

@Yeeyee The commenter wants to think them knowing his works is an accomplishment.
@Yeeyee I know, I'm agreeing with you. @Shelly_g is the "commenter".
Demolition is a great film! Not for everyone but if it clicks with you it's oddly heartwarming.
Just watched that last night for the first time. Such a beautiful movie, easily one of my favourites of his now. The relationship between him and the kid was brilliant
@@jezoboii x2
my favorite movie
that movie is my Into the Wild. somehow so liberating
Just watched yesterday bro very good movie 🥰
Could've sworn this video was gonna be about Prince of Persia
Great take on Demolition. As a big Jake Gyllenhaal fan, the film didn’t left a big impression on me. I didn’t love it or hate it. But now I kinda rewatch it to see if my opinion has changed
So, what happened after the second watch ?
Just like you i'm a fan of his, and just like you this movie first came as a "meh". Then i rewatched it this year and felt like it was one of the best movies i've ever seen.
This movie is too personal to me, i think about it all the time
Yeah it was kinda shallow I thought. Some fun scenes tho
But I totally understand connecting with it if you’ve had a similar loss!
Same here. I do remember liking the film but, like you said, it didn't leave a big impression.
Now I wanna rewatch it after this video lol
Give him all the acclaim you want, but he'll always be Bubble Boy in my eyes.
Now that's his real role nobody wants to talk about lol
I pledge allegiance to the flag
FIVE HUNDRE DOLLAH?
"Idk bitch i got alot to do"
I hate that that's the first movie I ever saw him in and now it's just permanently etched into my brain whenever I see him in an actual _great_ role.
He has done a exceptional performance in 'Enemy' similar to demolition. Complexity of thought process of an individual is explained to a greater extent
So much so I was wondering if that's what the video was going to be about when I clicked on it
So glad someone else touched on this film. Having experienced grief more times than I count anymore, this film absolutely represents what it's like. Distractions, tearing down walls you've previously built. All of those things are relatable. I feel this is his best film of all. Incredibly real.
Don't wallow in your bad life and it won't be as bad
@@Guitar-Dog no one here is wallowing. But when I have heavy grief which I have, it's always flowing in u like liquid. It's your blood now, that doesn't change. It just shifts.

Definitely makes me want to see it for that very reason.
Same. I'm too cold externally
Jake is my favorite actor, when I usually tell people that they are thrown off but seriously his versatility is unmatched. I have others like Sam Rockwell, Edward Norton, James Mcavoy, Joseph Gordon levitt, Ashton sanders, Lakeith stanfield, among others in my list of favorites but Jake has a special place in my heart.
I see you are a man of culture, a man of substance, of style. I like you. Please keep existing, I would like to see more of your kind.
Incredible list. I’d add Leo and Paul Dano.
Sam Rockwall is so underrated. Moon was such a fantastic performance I find myself rewatching it from Time to time.
I first noticed Sam Rockwell, in a really small movie called Box of Moonlight, with John Turturro. Excellent character piece.
Has something special, and Rockwell just Carrie’s it along.
@@CorbCorbin , Sam Rockwell is Quality! I 1st saw Him in Galaxy Quest n He Stole the Show! He's an Amazing Actor!
God Demolition was a masterpiece and I'm so glad you mentioned it. But one of my favourite jake moments is the Prisoners Door scene. The way his face slowly goes from cheery and happy to pissed and ready to go. The slight twitch in his mouth and eye is brilliant. The real melt away moment.
omg i love that scene too hahaah. idk why but it always makes me laugh
@@maddysvideos2985 he looks so angry after he mentions the children's clothes
@@Dislike-er9cvooooft yea he does. thats when you know shit's bout to get real

Decent film, but God did I hate the ending
you should make this a series as well where you dive into an actor’s underrated film.
i remember being interested in this movie and giving it a watch in the cinema. I went alone and the movie really effected me at the time and brought up those points of reflection that you mentioned (personal freedom, etc) I've watched it a couple of times since then and I still resonate with it so deeply and it's kind of a personal gem for me, to the point that (and I'm sure we all have a movie like this) whenever I find that SO in my life, showing her this movie would be an extreme act of intimacy for me.
Dam this is a great description

this was an amzing video considering its your first one, really well spoken. keep up the good work
Honestly what's so amazing about Jake's acting that he can show so much emotion and personality just from his eyes alone. Other than that, literally every move he makes, no matter how subtle, is literally made to fit his character
That last scene made me cry like a baby! Top performance by Jake, he is a genius... Also, RIP Jean-Marc Vallée, amazing director!! ...
Great video man! Feels super high quality, keep it up 👍🏼
hey bro, keep up the great work on these videos man, love to see it 🙏🏾 Jake’s filmography is one of the best
Demolition it's one of my favorite movies he's acted in, idk why I've watched it so many times.
Same here. I wouldn't say it's a perfect movie or anything but it's the one that stuck with me the most.
Was surprised to hear this was your first video at the end! The commentary you provided was wonderful. It was an oddly relatable topic framed in a way I didn’t expect, thanks for this video

Hard to believe this is your first video. The quality is up there no doubt.
Iv seen TH-camrs with over half a million not have as good quality as this
If this is your first video on YT I'm floored. I'm really happy you ended up in my recommendations. Good job
Amazing essay dude! Keep it up! Really loved your analysis of his performances!
I watched Demolition a while ago and im so happy to re-live all the rollercoaster of emotions i felt while watching it, through this video
Demolition it's such a great underated gem! I wish more people talked about it, great video man!
Amazing video look forward to checking out your others keep up the great work!!

amazing video man excited to see more of your content really good job!
Great work dude, I was totally surprised when you said 1st video, Jake G is an excellent and under rated actor
This turned me on to a movie I might never have heard of elsewhere.
Brilliantly written video. Thanks for the content you make. You deserve far more than 1k subs. Hope it comes to you soon, man.
Great first video dude!
i just kept watching cuz your narrative voice sounds great bro! fits perfectly. first vid?? most like your 1000th! keep them going
Nice video. I liked it. For a first video this is amazing.
wow, great job. I wouldn't have thought it was your first video. well done
Its literally one of my all time favourite movies.
I dont watch it for a long time and your words about it with all of These scenes, made me remember how i loved it and started to cry because of you talking about feelings.
Thank you for that Man💪✌
So glad your first video is my favorite actor, keep up the good work.

There’s no “one way,” or “right way” to process emotion, and there isn’t a single way to make TH-cam videos. I really enjoyed your content and I hope you continue to make more!
I said demolition in my head right before you did just because of how much I loved it and remembered it. One of my favorite actors alongside Leo!
the practicing emotions in the mirror scene in demolition is so great
Great job... I was shocked that this was your first video... keep going and you will make it at the top
I am glad that I came across this video as few people talk about this wonderful actor
I enjoyed this video more than I thought I would, subscribed and looking forward to more from this channel!
Please make a few follow-ups to this, would be interesting to explore a couple of films/roles per actor.
I can’t believe this was your first video! Very impressive work
Fantastic vid!!!!! Keep up the great work!
i was shocked when you said this is your first video on youtube, keep up the great work
this was your first video... got damn dude good job. subed
Great video! I have good memories of watching this in theaters but critics didn’t seem to care for it
Your first video on TH-cam?! You killed it, good job
dude this was such a good commentary on the film, make more such videos!
Great job!! I wish you all the best with this channel
Great content man. Keep it up!
I thought you were gonna mention Enemy! Totally stumbled upon that movie a couple years back and it blew me away
Really good video, dude. I totally agree with you about Jake Gyllenhaal!! Thanx for sharing your thoughts.
Great video! I love finding those hidden gem movies -- thanks for the recommendation
it's funny that Leo deserved an oscar for so many roles and he finally gets one for what is probably his least enjoyable movie. I thought the revenant was incredibly boring and overrated
great vid man
I rarely write comments but I really enjoyed this video and the way you constructed this video!
Really enjoyed your commentary and content. Keep up the good work. Subscribed, looking forward to your video.
Solid analysis glad this was in my feed. Keep it up.
Great video man
The most liberating movie I've seen. I keep coming back to this one annually
demolition made me cry at the day of my birthday, it was such a good movie
Your first video?? You are a legend!!
Amazing video! Gyllenhaal blew me away with Nightcrawler. I’m intrigued with the movie you described. I’m gonna check it out.
Great analysis! You've earned my subscription
How the hell have you not blown up yet?
Great video
This is a high quality video. Keep it up. You'll make it on this platform.
I honestly thought this was going to be about Bubble Boy
Great video dude
And here I was, thinking you were about to cover Bubble Boy! 🤣
Dude how you not gonna bring up bubble boy? That was arguably his best movie
Jake gyllenhall is definitely my favorite working actor today. He’s phenomenal
Prisoners is my favorite of him. Jake needs to do more detective/noir stuff
Now I want to see this.
Nice work!
I'm very impressed that this is your first video. Quality like a channel with half a million or more subscribers.
Another few films that come to mind for me are The Day After Tomorrow and Zodiac. I never see or hear anyone talking about these two films and I personally think they’re good films and that he’s great in them
The day after tomorrow was just your basic disaster flick, but it was fun. Zodiac, however, was the shit
Enemy is one of my favorite movies of all time, it's just so dreamy and strange I can't take my eyes away
Jake Gyllenhaal, Adam Driver, Robert Pattinson. Probably my 3 favourite actors
More videos like this fam, I'll sub and hopefully see more. But these styles and topics are mint
Enemy is so good. That last scene will have you questioning everything for years.
keep this up, I love this style of video's
This is great. You have an excellent narrating voice.
This reminds me of that song called Good Grief by Bastille, that talks about grief but in an upbeat way
This movie is my favorite jg movie. I connected with his character deeply, and it really made a lasting impact on my life. I rewatch it with friends when they go through similar stuff.
Very good first video! Keep it up.
Awesome video my man. Dudes always been one of my favourites. Ive never heard if demolition but that looks amazing im hype to watch it!
Good series idea. Keep it up
I really thought you were gonna discuss Bubble Boy.
