DId anyone else feel like the entire scene was set up for Drey? I thought that when Mr. Dunne went to confront Frank and they had a drink that they came to a consensus that Drey needs to stay away from that shit. Go back to earlier in the film when Drey asks Mr. Dunne if she could end up like her brother. In the motel room, he glances and nods to the stripper smoking crack, looks back at Drey and nods(as if to say that could be you). Then there was Frank's subdued reaction in the car. Amazing
@zacenroe I think you make a good point. However, at the end of the movie you see Drey riding her bike out of school and Frank tries to talk to her. But she rides away. It wouldn't make sense that Frank and Dan collaborated this if Frank was still trying to talk to her
@zacenroe I did not get the feeling that Dan and Frank came to a consensus at all. It seems like Dan just gives up and says, "I don't know what's best." He's depressed and completely lost.
When Dan glances at the woman smoking crack, I think it's just to say, "Yep, that's crack. That's what I'm doing here." And then he hands out a dollar bills, because that crack is for him too. He's not warning her -- he's resigned to being incapable of guiding her anywhere.
@zacenroe Regarding Frank, he's subdued because he saw the way Drey must have walked out of the motel and over to the car. After the first job, she came running and smiling, all proud of herself. He knows something is up.
I can't even begin to describe why this scene is so brilliant. Such an underrated movie, and anyone that thinks Ryan Gosling is just a pretty boy needs to see this scene and his whole body of work. He's an amazing actor. The music is the icing on the friggin cake.
for everyone who doesn't know, the person opening up the door when drey first walks up is dan. that's why she looks so shocked and starts to walk away.
Właśnie teraz skończyłem oglądać film dziwny film aczkolwiek trzeba go widzieć scena pod koniec w hotelu miażdży.Bardzo smutne i prawdzie na szcześćie zrozumieją tylko nieliczni Pozdrawiam
@dostodabsi i don't think so because they couldn't have ended the movie without repairing the relationship between drey and dan. the whole plot of the movie would have been pointless if they had.
@dostodabsi the movie doesn't necessarily have a happy ending. we don't know if dan is going to continue drugging or teaching. to me, the movie is about them keeping each other out of the world of drugs. him using and her selling.
@knobylob I read the director wanted everyone to 'fill in the gaps', I thought of it as though they would try to continue being friends- (him shaving his beard as symbolism for trying to clean up his act; the joke after that- keeping the innocence there and trying to keep her away from the dealer)
@dostodabsi what? that would have been such a unsatisfying and abrupt ending. i love this scene, but can you actually imagine the movie ending like that?
favorite scene. when he slumps down, it's as if he is saying with his eyes "i'm sorry i let you down, but this is the real me, i'm not good enough for you"
This is reality. A teacher, a committed teacher - is capable of succumbing to chemicals. I admire this movie that portrays depravity - depravity attained by a teacher. He has a good heart. His character has good intentions. But his disease outweighs his intentions. If a middle school history teacher can be chemically possessed, who is free from its grasp? This shows us how we all are at the mercy of our genes - genes regulated by environment. We are slaves. We are fallible. We are teachers.
Beautifully acted, sad scene. Really stayed with me. Great acting from both him and the young actress. Both would have won Oscars in my book because they were more real than anybody onscreen that year!
I really felt like ryan should've won the oscar. Yeah leo's performance and forest in the last king of scotland. But His performance was so real. He displayed so many emotions throughout this film, u could almost feel how he was feeling.
@MoogPunch64 IMO, the scene shows two casualties of drugs/drug use. She knew he used but its a whole other thing to personally deal to him. Plus she never probably envisioned the depravity at the hotel or the company he kept. His face is PRICELESS... I interprete disappointment, hurt, and realization... PERFECT SCENE, no words necessary..
@MoogPunch64 Have you seen the film? Gosling is a drug user...and she is a student of his at school. He tries to stop her being influenced by the wrong people (the man in the car) but he realises he's not much of a role model (she caught him in the toilets once and knows he uses). This is the climax of the film...when he hits rock bottom and she begins to deal...it's painfully sad and there are so many emotions in this one scene. It's perfect.
@heathclifffe i've seen the movie, just never really got this scene. and i just realized at about 0:47 you can hear someone say "put some fucking clothes on"
This movie rocked on all levels. They had an inappropriate friendship with an inappropriate connection which was PERFECT for the movie! They should make a sequel. I would love to see what direction these characters took a few years later.
It's sort of ambiguous, but I've always wondered about Frank's role in this scene. Why would Frank have Drey deliver crack to Dan (I assume he knows Dan is in there)? Is he acquiescing to Dan's recommendation that Drey have more positive role models and NOT deliver drugs? I mean, this sort of lesson would certainly seem to swear her off of it. Then Frank's line is, "Everything cool?.... Well, I guess we should get you home then." As in, "You understand? Good, then that's it." Just a theory.
I wish that I could believe Frank was trying to teach Drey a lesson, because Anthony Mackie, like Ryan Gosling, is so likeable, despite the character. But it never occurred to me that he knew Dan would be in there. If he did and deliberately sent her up to Dunne, it was probably because he wanted her to swear off HIM, so that he would be the one to influence her (btw, I love the irony of her being caught between a drug dealer and a drug addict). That is my theory, but I like yours, too :)
Oh god, I just adore that smile and nod he gives her, it's so reassuring and supportive, and then the fact is that he's paying her for crack.. just wow. It gets me, everytime.
I'm confused, was the main character in the sex thing as well or was he just there for the crack? I couldn't see his character doing something like that
It's really disturbing that amazing films like this receive such little attention, while movies like Avatar The Last Airbender and the Expendables dominate the box office.
i've always looked at this scene as, hmmmm... a lesson from the teacher. I mean, i always understood that look on his face as "see? keep on coming, and you'll keep on seeing this... keep on doing, and thats what you'll become... want that?"... I dont know, its just too great.
@bagacera91 no it's more about the interchange between the two. they exchange no words but their actions and the looks on their faces say it all. she gave into drug dealing and he's continuing with the crack. she's giving it to him, and he's paying her for it. it's kinda hard to explain but it's like they see each other fucking their lives up, and yet they just help each other do it, guiltily, but as though this was inevitable.
@BleedingxRainbow wow man, indeed great insight or something! But anyway, i think this scene is too complex, gives you many possiblities of thinking depending on the time you watch them... Such a simple scene gives you an enormous amount of possibilities - thats what makes up for an incredible movie!
The look of desperation and him basically saying "This is me, this is what I am." and the look of him shame on his face makes me emotional without him even uttering a single word.
@foxyswedee well to me, the look on his face says thats what i am and thats what ive become.. the way he looks ather basically means ive warned you and ur doing the opposite of what itold u to do... ur gonna endup like the people in this room if u keep doing what u just did. i guess ? i have to rewatch this movie, its just incredible
I don't really understand it. I mean I do of course. But I'm trying to understand what it means. To me with his fist under his chin. His face is almost Poor girl, How disappointed I am, I don't understand why she's doing this. Or is this because he's so deep init he juss doesn't get that he's a mess? lol It's a scene I'm still trying to figure out.
@kgoodwriter92 i think its more about his own guilt, and being unable from stopping her from getting into a life a crime because he himself is a drug addict. its basically him giving up because he has no power to have any say in her life. hes also ashamed that he sees her like this when he knows hes possibly the only good influence in her life.
@montyuk106 I think he is just searching the room for something that's not there, when me and my girl split up I spent alot of time in my room listening to music like this, I tended to look around alot hoping to find something to cheer me up, but it wasn't there, kus there was nothing that could make me happy except her, he is probably doing the same.
One of the greatest films of all time. So well written, acted and directed. So amazingly subtle. One of the best scenes of all time. Underrated and should be viewed by all film students as a master class in how to make a movie.
@lorco25 better yet it should be viewed by all grade school students on how to avoid drugs but understand addicts with a little more compassion and not grow up to have cynically polar biased notions
Perfect scene up there with the True Romance scene between Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken. This scene is a little better because it doesn't have dialogue. What is so cool is that Anthony Mackie could arguably be the antagonist but you don't think he is because his character is so well written.
Ryan (and Shareeka) are one of those rare actors who can say everything in a scene with their eyes. Really incredible stuff. I'd forgotten how great this scene was... makes me never want to see a mainstream movie ever again. lol.
I never realized, after he shuts the door, you can hear the woman say, "Where you goin?", and he says "Put some fuckin clothes on... put some clothes on!"
Wow...I haven't seen the movie yet - the soundtrack from broken social scene was what attracted me - but the acting is SO sincere. Ryan Gosling said 1000 things without speaking one single line.
i love this scene. possibly the best scene i have ever seen to date. and i haven't even watched the film yet!!! does anyone know any free movie sites that have this movie? thanks
maybe it's the most important, deep, meaningful lesson Ryan has tought to his student.. that's how i thought after watching this film, which brought me a scilent but powerful sorrow.
Thank u so much for uploading this, the soundtrack from BSS is just stunning, it gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it, its a fantastiv movie and this scene just is like the cherry on top of it. Long live independent movies and movie makers.
I thought the movie was pretty good and I was on the fence of whether I thought it was great or just good. When this scene occured it made the decision for me. It was so epic and made the film fantastic.
I saw the movie last night and I had to watch this scene twice because its just breathtaking. The way he looks at her - it says so much more than words could ever do. One of the best movies I have seen in a long time, brilliant scene and Ryan Gosling is simply amazing.
yes this film is very good....the motel scene is extremely good because it sort of sums up the whole idea of the film, how ryan tried to get his student away from selling drugs eventhough he did them.
One of the best syncing of music/song and film since Gooodfellas--hits you hard on an emotional level while giving meaning to the subtle, unspoken downward spiral happening in the scene. . . sublime.
hahahaha, I have no idea what this comment is in response to, but it made me laugh, I don't want to know either, let's just leave it as it is, it was good.
Outstanding movie, excellent performances, amazing plot, it captures reality with every detail of its existence. Some choose drug abuse, some choose denial, some alcohol, many don't understand it and accept it, but this is how it is: and the ending deserved at least an academy award... Shampoo suicide is the perfect metaphor
This Is Probobbly One Of My Favorite Scene Ever Also Along With Less Then Zero When They Go From Him Giving A Blow Job To The Time Of His Death. the Shampoo Suicide Made The Scene More Powerful And Emotional. I Love How There Were No Vocal Communication Between The Two Just Body Language And Facial Gestures. Oscar Worthy Stupid Forrest
This scene is amazing. The fact that the student is selling drugs to the teacher is... I don't know but its really powerful. And the music just enhances the whole thing making it all seem perfect.
i like how it shows how they are both where they arent suppose to be, her selling drugs and him doing drugs. i love this movie! and broken sociall scene (BSS) set my soul alive with shampoo suicide along with lovers spit.
It is amazing to see the band perform this song and Bedroom Rock live. Kevin Drew showcases how remarkable his voice is.
Ryan Gosling is protraying a broken man in a broken system. Being a teacher it scares me how perfect teachers must be, but never live up to expectations in many people's eyes. It is a day to day struggle, but I enjoy it.
They opened up last Friday night's show in Toronto with both those tracks. Their best 2 tracks in my opinion. It was amazing! The BEST LIVE BAND EVER!
I cry every time in this scene. I'm an addict, and I've tried so many times to rise above this. This scene is heart breaking for me.

Wow...I haven't seen the movie yet - the soundtrack from broken social scene was what attracted me - but the acting is SO sincere. Ryan Gosling said 1000 things without speaking one single line.

maybe it's the most important, deep, meaningful lesson Ryan has tought to his student.. that's how i thought after watching this film, which brought me a scilent but powerful sorrow.

I thought the movie was pretty good and I was on the fence of whether I thought it was great or just good. When this scene occured it made the decision for me. It was so epic and made the film fantastic.

I saw the movie last night and I had to watch this scene twice because its just breathtaking. The way he looks at her - it says so much more than words could ever do. One of the best movies I have seen in a long time, brilliant scene and Ryan Gosling is simply amazing.

yes this film is very good....the motel scene is extremely good because it sort of sums up the whole idea of the film, how ryan tried to get his student away from selling drugs eventhough he did them.

this scene alone was worth the bloody Oscar. too bad Gosling was up against Forest Whitaker that year

One of the best syncing of music/song and film since Gooodfellas--hits you hard on an emotional level while giving meaning to the subtle, unspoken downward spiral happening in the scene. . . sublime.

what part in goodfellas does that? Certainly not when tommy gets whacked or when franky is found in the meat truck:p

this is the kind of scene you have to watch over and over again. every time i watch it, i understand it more and more.
the look on his face as he nods to her is almost hard to describe. he just gives up trying to help her and just gives in to the darkness, so to speak.
ryan gosling was just masterful in this film.

What the fantastic actors, what the fascinated and chilled atmosphere. I can`t even imagine this film without Gosling and this little girl.

Outstanding movie, excellent performances, amazing plot, it captures reality with every detail of its existence. Some choose drug abuse, some choose denial, some alcohol, many don't understand it and accept it, but this is how it is: and the ending deserved at least an academy award... Shampoo suicide is the perfect metaphor
florindakid 2 years ago
This Is Probobbly One Of My Favorite Scene Ever Also Along With Less Then Zero When They Go From Him Giving A Blow Job To The Time Of His Death. the Shampoo Suicide Made The Scene More Powerful And Emotional. I Love How There Were No Vocal Communication Between The Two Just Body Language And Facial Gestures. Oscar Worthy Stupid Forrest

It is amazing to see the band perform this song and Bedroom Rock live. Kevin Drew showcases how remarkable his voice is.
Ryan Gosling is protraying a broken man in a broken system. Being a teacher it scares me how perfect teachers must be, but never live up to expectations in many people's eyes. It is a day to day struggle, but I enjoy it.

They opened up last Friday night's show in Toronto with both those tracks. Their best 2 tracks in my opinion. It was amazing! The BEST LIVE BAND EVER!
