  • amazing. his looks his just everything. such a great film!

  • just watched this and loved it. But for some unexplainable reason i feel i would have liked it twice as much if Adrien Brody had played this role instead. don't get me wrong Ryan was great ,it was just a weird feeling i kept having throughout the whole movie.

  • I want Ryan Gosling to be my teacher :D

  • He's really wonderful.

  • Ryan Gosling's best movie to date. This is a wonderfully fantastic movie that shines through the concept that if the movie doesn't have a sudden twist, it fails. Gosling is one of the greatest actors of our generation, and with his recent role in "Drive", Gosling just gets better and better.

  • why hasnt this gotten more recognition? ive never heard of this movie yet he got nominated for best actor.

    he's definitely my favourite actor.

  • Most underrated actor...ever!!!

  • @MRsbdunkwearer Well I think he is not that underrated anymore, or haven't you seen a movie sense 2007?

  • i would LOVE to have Ryan as my teacher

  • holler at Broken Social Scene muzik

  • the trailer doesn't seem interesting, should i watch this movie? :)

  • @AsumDude94 yeah its pretty smart and hard hitting. worth watching.

  • @AsumDude94 yes you should.

  • @AsumDude94 yes.

  • i forgot the ps so highly fashioned...thank you for understanding

  • This movie is a WASP's wet dream. I can just see the meeting in my head... "Its Dangerous Minds... but with a guy... AND he is a drug addict." Its a really good film and very affecting but it is a total white persons jack off fantasy.

  • @dannypurple1979

    I wouldn't have given a damn if one of my teachers was drug addicted.My teacher of biology was the best and she was a medecin addicted..Who cares?A pathology or a sickness of a person is not a weakness,it might be a strength.Just a thought

  • @dannypurple1979 Haven't seen "Dangerous Minds" but I assume it's one of those teacher-saves-minority-student­s movies. While I can see how this movie has those elements to it, I don't think it really glorifies or idealizes Gosling's character. The girl he gets to know does some soul-searching and growing up, but he's not necessarily to thank for that. He's also arguably not even a very good teacher. The classroom scenes were sometimes painful.

  • I love Ryan Gosling .. <3

  • This looks really good, I gotta see it!

  • I actually wrote on my door "we are sinners,but we all strive to be good".It helps when i'm feeling low.This movie is an inspiration.

  • Best Ryan G. movie out there.

  • Just saw this and it was brilliant. The acting and the storyline are just so believable that you forget it's just a movie.

  • Is there a bad movie with Ryan Gosling in a leading role? No.

  • @robhartjr1993

    Well..;the notebook,it was far from being a chef d'oeuvre.A lame movie if you ask me.

  • @ladylivia100 I was waiting for someone to say that. The Notebook is actually pretty good. Its the only NIcolas Sparks based movie i actually like. Men usually stay away (im a straight man) because girls drool over the movie, but the story is actually pretty good. I thought it was lame till I watched it.

  • @robhartjr1993 You can like it, Hopefully,I have the right not to and I can be abled to say that it was pretty lame because I watched it,I have never put forward an opinion without knowing what I am talking about.Another thing...I ignored that straight men and homosexuals had different tasts.I thought that an opinion had NO SEXUAL ORIENTATION and movies are not made to highlighten the ideas of some niche.

  • @ladylivia100 wow look at you trying to disect every little word to attack me. Fucking idiot. Who said anything that was offensive to sexual orientations. I put it in parenthesis because mostly homosexuals like that movie over straight men. Nothing wrong with saying that. Go fucking kill yourself you elusive troll. You try to make points and sound relevant but you're just an idiot that tries to put words in other peoples typing. Merry Christmas, sit on a knife.

  • @robhartjr1993 Sorry,Santa will not deliver knives this year.I was intrigued by your purpose,I didn't mean to attack you.There is a thing called irony but i guess you ignore it and as a result your only way to respond is insulting me.Such lack of arguments makes me laugh and makes me feel sorry for you.

  • @robhartjr1993 HA you are a total fag. Not because you watched the Notebook but because you had to prefice it by stating that you were NOT gay. Sounds like somebody needs to tone down their sexual fears (the one where you must make SURE that everybody knows youre not gay) ladylivia100 on behalf of all men I apologize for this giant fag.

  • Comment removed

  • @robhartjr1993 I didn't really like Lars and the Real Girl..

  • @robhartjr1993 drive

  • love it !! love the story is ,,, no clear ending ,,, just like our lives ,,,, not a typical Hollywood flick ,,, n of course LOVE Ryan !

  • stars & sons... broken social scene... F yeahhh

  • Its amazing the garbage movies constantly getting pitched in our faces, and then there are the little jewels that are never even see advertised...

  • @niconow88 Yes indeed my friend.

  • Good movie but theres no really satasfying ending

  • sun goes up sun comes down, cant explain that

  • I love Ry

  • Ive seen this twice once when i was 16 and again today, decent plot, but its more about the characters but saying that the characters are never realy devoloped the ending is a little wide open, it could have gone a little bit braver. But i enjoyed the performaces i liked this movie not the best but i would tell a friend to check it so my score is a 7/10 just my 2cents....

  • tonight on BBC 1 .. enjoy :)

  • Teach me everything u know, Mr. Gosling. <3

  • Just saw this movie... all I have to say is wow! Definitely not Mr. Holland's Opus, but perhaps much more meaningful.

  • Ésta película es taaaaaaaaaan chévere.

  • What's the name of the song playing from 1:29 'till the end of the trailer. Thanks

  • If he was my teacher, I'd actually love school & would bang him haha

  • broken social scene in the house!

  • "Our next flick is not just the best film I saw all week, but easily the best film I've seen all year, if not one of the ten best I've seen in a decade."

    - Kevin Smith

  • I would LOVE him as a teacher Mhmm :D

  • I DUHNOH 

  • very good movie. ending was a bit inconclusive imo

  • I can't believe I just knew about this film. Ryan Gosling owned the character. Brilliant is an understatement! He was perfect! 

  • wat is the song played from 0:09 - 0:18 pleez tell me cuz i luv it but cant find it anywhere :)

  • @Chrissyblueify7 it's called "Guilty Cubicles" by Broken Social Scene, except there's a trumpet playing over/along with it

  • i invented the full nelson

  • this was a very good movie but in the end, does he get out of his drug use and go back to work or what?

  • Ryan will go down in cinema history as one of the greatest actors.

  • @MrDetwaa Agreed.

  • I just saw this movie and it's really great!

    Ryan is so talented and adorable...

    He made me laugh, when the girl asked him for a ride home and he said yes. After, she left the room, his eyes got big and he was like "okayyy!"

  • Una pelicula buenisima.

  • he is such an underrated actor.

  • The first few minutes made me go meh...boring

    But then, oh wow! wait til the second half of the movie starts, thats when you will cry.your.ass.OFF!

    I love the part "knock knock...who's there......the interrupting cow.......the interrupting *moos* cow who?" HAHA LOL love it....totally suggest this for anyone who's tired of seen one too many cliche-ridden family dramas.

  • Incredible, really touchted

    

  • i thought it was going to be like freedom writer but im glad its a diff plot i wnt to c this

  • please can someone PRETTY PLEASE uplode this on youtube... please:D

  • @lovesababe do you live under a fucking rock ?! go watch the movie on a free streaming site dude. like putlocker!

  • @Dev1ned no worries i did!!..actually its on netflixs now.

  • Watched it, and fucking didn't got it. Saw it just from the middle of the movie, and uhhh the end was. uhh Cocaine baby!

  • @DarXLodi COCAINE FRESH, Ryan Gosling Is BEAST . AWESOME FLICK

  • This movie is amazing. Broken Social Scene definitely made it much better. Without their music, you wouldn't be able to see, hear and feel the way this movie actually should be seen, heard and felt. It sounds a bit weird, but yeah... that's my feeling/opinion about it.

    I'm so happy I've seen this movie.

  • Is there really any point in comparing this to The Notebook?

  • Nothing special in my opinion. IMDb-s 7.4/10 is about right but I didn't care much for it

  • Ryan Gosling is an effortlessly versatile actor. He gives his characters a distinctive personality as if they were actual people living in the modern world. Mad props to that kind of talent. A true artist.

  • @cinemapsycho91 Do you write that comment on all of Ryan Gosling's movies? Or just Lars and the Real Girl and Half Nelson?

  • @IsabelleEmanuelle1 A few others.

  • @cinemapsycho91 same comment as you posted on the real girl.. lol

  • @maksenDK What else is new...?

  • @cinemapsycho91 Dude, you say the same in every Ryan Gosling movie trailer.LOL

  • @Mikinho1 What else is new...?

  • @Mikinho1 If you google his comment you'll find that it's also been said on a lot of other websites. He's just copied it and posted it on Youtube trailers to try and get thumbs up.

  • @cinemapsycho91 you described it very well. He has a real talent for making us truly believe in his characters. He adds real humanity to them

  • i can't believe it was never released in italy..what a shame!!!!!

  • @valyruggi i can give you the movie if you want it

  • @caragea2002 off course i would...how when..?? could you give me more informations?? please,please... thank you!! ;);)

  • @valyruggi my messenger id is podaru_marius88@yahoo.com

  • can't believe he didn't get the oscar for this role.

  • Loved Ryan Gosling in this. What a deep film!!!

  • i think this is one of those films id like more n more every time i watch it. Lost In Translation did that to me

  • "its not cool to be a nazi anymore baby"

  • great movie, great (and hottt ;) ) actor,, i donno if ths movie would do good if there werent for ryan gosling

  • While many actors tend to play drug addicts in an over-the-top, romanticized, stereotypical fashion, Ryan Gosling's performance was just so subtle, so nuanced and just simply fucking brilliant. One of the best performances of the decade.

  • @ayansb I get what you mean, I like true and subtle acting. I think actors and directors need to take on that idea and be realistic in what they deliver to the audience.

  • ..Amazing, enlightened movie! Thank You.  More teachers should be like the one Ryan Gossling portrays; however they are protected by tenure and teach nothing but drivel to our students. :)

  • great movie ! but being flemish I don't get the title. can someone please explain what half nelson means?

  • @fabiangotslapped A half nelson is a wrestling move. It's where your opponent has you in a sort of grip (their arm under yours exerting pressure on your neck) and it's very hard to break free from. In the movie, I think it's the drugs which have the main charcater (Gosling) in a metaphorical half nelson hold.

  • @eezysqueezy kay :)  thanx

  • @eezysqueezy isn't that a "Full Nelson"? the wrestling move

  • @engrpvm There are several variations on the Nelson move. Quarter, half, three quarter and full.

  • he was robbed at the academy awards. He should have won

  • haha I love his dance at 1:40 >_<!! !^_^!!!

  • some souls are just stuck at some points of their lifetimes.

    love this film.

  • He's the hottest teacher ive ever seen

  • @lawlkennedy sorry. that would be Hank Moody

  • This movie is amazing. However the feeling after it isn't.

  • Watched this movie the other day. Great movie

  • Great movie. Ryan Gosling was awesome as well as Broken Social Scene.

  • It's incredible how Ryan Gosling does everything with perfection..every role that he did was so great, astonishing...never seen an acter like that before..gosling is a revolution

  • ssdc

  • hahahaha hes blowin lines and smokin rocks the ENTIRE movie. hes so sick with it. pretty good film. very well made.

  • What's the song that starts at 1:25 ?

    This movie looks great. Putting it on my list. C:

  • @DoctorCake i think it's broken scene's stars and stones

  • @Scenceless Thanks tons!

    C:

  • @DoctorCake

    Stars and Sons by Broken Social Scene. Every song featured in this trailer is by BSS, and I believe in the entire movie (I think)

  • @DoctorCake Stars and Sons its off of You Forgot It In People

  • oohhh shittt I didnt know anthony mackie was in this... loooove the hurt locker

  • greatest movie ever!!!!!

  • Does Anyone know which sunglasses Ryan Gosling wears in this movie? Fucking coolest sunglasses ever.

  • Great movie ! :)

  • When I saw this movir I almost cry..it reflects in many aspects my own and personal life..

  • This movie will be in my heart (& top 10)forever. Words cant express the talent of the young mr. Gosling. I was speechless after watching it. And boy...was Shareeka Epps a good match! Beautiful small movie, no cliches no cover ups and no pleasing,- nor intelligence-insulting of the watchers. Chapeau for Half Nelson!

  • God I fucking love this movie.

  • Ryan Gosling (L)(L) iimááááddd

  • ryan gosling is fantastic :)

  • Brilliant, One to admire when working on new material. Great look, edit and acting and subject

  • I Loooooooooove this. =)

  • Broken Social Scene's music is so relaxing and beautiful! They made this movie so much better!

  • whats the name of the song that starts on 1:26?

  • That song is called Guilty Cubicles by Broken Social Scene, all the songs in the trailer are by them.

  • what's the song that starts at 0:05( 'this song is called half nelson' words) ??

  • Great film, I know the film was made locally -Brooklyn, Jersey, and Queens- the story and everything about the film seems like places I have been and things I have experienced. One of the most powerful films - a great performance by the entire cast.

  • I was mesmerized with Ryan´s interpretation... simply perfect! He´s such a brilliant actor. Great movie!

  • never heard of this, but it looks good, def worth checkin out.

  • Love Liza is also a great film, filmed similar to this. It's with Phillip Seymore Hoffman

  • I've never seen this movie but I'm watching it tonight!!

    I'm really looking forward to it!! :D

  • Ryan Gosling is a brilliant actor. Great piece of Independent work!

    SUPPORT INDIE FILMS!

    Check out the trailer for "Crashing Down", an indie drama feature.

  • This is one of my favorite films of all time. Moving, heartbreaking, beautiful. When I saw the cover, I thought it would be another movie about the nice white teacher teaching a bunch of inner city black kids and helping them achieve their dreams... I was wrong. SO amazing. Love.

  • where can i see the movie?

  • This might be a long shot, but does anyone happen to know what kind of glasses Gosling is wearing at the beginning of the trailer? I really do like them. haha

  • i know ay they do look cool dont they

  • I think I will now... Will just have to find it first or watch it on the internet. :P

  • those are plastic aviators, a lot of good and cheap brandmakers make them now

  • I remember hearing about this movie when it was up for awards. Now seeing the trailer (which was found because I have BSS songs favourited lol), I'm actually pretty interested... Although I have a feeling it might have a sad ending...

  • my advice just watch it it's one of the best independent films ever made in my opinion

  • Completely agree.

  • you should definitely watch it..

  • Ryan is just omg like perfect. He really should get more leading roles in movies

  • i just watched gowanus, brooklyn a minute ago and i loved it o much. didn't know they made a remake but i was hoping for one.

  • if you watch the movie its based on alena, you'll understand. look up the short film gowanus, brooklyn. its about a inner city girl who finds out her teacher is a drug addict. shes really curious as to how this affects him. the girl in the movie, dre, is in both this and the sundance version. the difference is that this one has a bigger plot while the other leaves you to answer endings for yourself. i recommend watching either : )

  • Did you see the movie?

  • umm, no.

  • UH yeah dear, he's really good convincing actor

  • This film is seriously magnificent. i suggest anyone with the ability to view this movie now. It's incredibly inspiring, jaw-dropping, brilliant and heartbreaking. Ryan Gosling truly lights up the film with an incredible performance.

  • i watched it but forgot how it ended. care to remind me?

  • I liked the actor =)

    But the movie was alright .. altho i didnt really understand it =S

  • the trailor dont advertise the movie very well

  • anyone know the name of the song at :10?

    pretty sure its a trumpet, but anyone know whos playing it? its driving me crazy

  • i'm watching this shit rite now...

  • wow they used a lot of bss in this: stars and sons, shampoo suicide, guilty cubicles, passport radio. Whoever the director is hes got the best taste in music!:D

  • Great film, great actors. good job

  • i just watched this movie and it is a good ass movie.... No..... great.
