Barry Review: California Is Full of Bad People

[@pontiusporcius8430]

Loli, its worth noting that a lot of actors from the 50s through the 80s were world war 2 vets and saw some horrifying real shit. They would understand barry's skit a lot more.

[@creepdimensions2405]

Not to mention directors and artists, fuck dude the more I think about the greats of previous generations the more I realize its usually out of severe fucking traumatizing shit

[@kingcyclops4079]

@@creepdimensions2405 A big reason of why alot of modern art/media sucks is that too many people write based on tropes in fictions. Good art draws from life experiences, when you use fiction as your reference you get a warped view on how the world works. Thus you get a pretty bland or just bad product. When you draw from reality you get a better understanding of the world and how to interpret it into your art. A show like Barry works because the characters are lifted from reality rather than “oh this character is like insert recognizable pop culture character here”. You can better write comedy and drama when you understand how to take real aspects of people and exaggerate or conceptualize those aspects into a character.

As a former marine with some time in the sandbox, the scene where Barry going over his kills over seas is very close to true in it’s portrayal on how different two sides see it. Still throws my shrink for a loop occasionally.

[@scarletjester7831]

I honestly wasn't surprised and I'm a civilian, I just thought soldiers convinced themselves the life they ended was as they put "just another goat fucker to kill and nothing more, hesitate and they will kill you" so they turned the act of killing into something to celebrate so they didn't have to deal with the thoughts of "I just killed someone" until after their home and have the time to actually think about what they did. My grandpa kinda helped with this, he fought in vietnam and when he would talk about it which was VERY rare, he said when he was there the lives he ended were nothing but an enemy to kill and he didn't really think about it. Not until he was safe and back home did he start to think about the things he did, then it all really hit him and it hit hard. He's no longer with us, unfortunately, but I'm glad to say that near the end he made peace with his past

Gosh, I love the subversion of the traditional male anti-hero role portrait in this show. Everyone is basically the complete opposite of what they are supposed to be, depending on the situation and it is hilarious and freaking tragic at the same time. Something I never have experienced in any other show.

Ahhh my friend. You introduced me to Berserk, now I find out you love Barry too. Ahhhhhhhh lovely. You sir are a man of great taste. I worked on season 1 and 2 of this show (as a nobody but it was my first SHOW I got to work on) and it was the best time of my life. Bill Hader truly understands stories. Like deeply. He is one of the smartest people I’ve ever gotten to see think.

Barry is one of those shows that stuck with me, its funny, but I dont watch it for the laughs. It connected to me for some reason, I was so glued to the screen the first time I watched it and my face still gets glued to the screen. Thank you for bringing light to one of my favorite shows loli, this deserves so much more praise.

[@SadPanda94]

I should point out my favorite scene from this series. When Barry is engulfed in pure darkness once he kills the Chechnyan kid he trained to be the greatest among his friends and then when he kills him while consumed by pure rage. That scene touched me and showed that Barry can be an evil sob. At the end of that episode, Barry walks into the dark corridor and disappears into the darkness. Amazing scene.

[@thegrimcritic5494]

In a weird way, the appreciation I have for this show feels extremely similar to the appreciation I have for that Korean movie “Parasite”; in that what makes it so good is that it is simply a quintessential example of classic drama… just in a modern setting. It’s like both Parasite and Barry went back to a high school English classroom and went down the vocabulary list of literary elements you’d find in good fiction; irony, suspense, tragic flaws, satire, tragedy, comedy, internal/external conflict, etc.; and just turned it into a checklist to make sure they didn’t miss anything while writing their stories. There’s no horror, no sci fi, no fantasy, nothing. Just pure, unadulterated drama. And that’s what I think makes both Parasite and Barry so incredibly remarkable; the simple fact that both are nothing more than earnest and sincere attempts at telling a good drama.

Sorry I don't comment I just never really get invested in the comment section when I know its just going to get drowned out never to be seen by the intended audience.

[@guyver5er412]

I like the point about whether or not Barry's a bad person or not because like he said, if he's just following orders how much of the blame is actually on him when he kills. does he hold some responsibility, abso-fucking-lutely, but if the man wants to be a good person and do better I can see that still being very much a possibility.

A knife with some nicks in the blade can still cut. At this point, it's the same deal with INVINCIBLE. It's a damn good story that was clearly fucked with by some investors and S&B robots. The only thing I've seen from this show is the acting scene and I feel that it's a great introducer. Kind of like the IT Office scene from UTOPIA, despite being later in season 2. It's only a spoiler once you get to that point in the show.

15 years ago it would have been topical and edgy and boundary pushing to harp on that. Nowadays, it's as embarrassing as if someone were to be completely serious about how rock music is satanic and makes kids kill each other. That said the joke about it in Barry ain't bad, it could have been a school teacher or anyone else, not a priest, and not changed anything.

[@Boominator-d8s]

17:54 I think the show IS engaging in a political commentary, it’s just doing it very subtly. Sally is indeed a crappy human being and one of the primary manifestations of her flaws and one which is specific to the example in the video at the above time code is the superficiality of her feminism. Sally indulges in the types feminist tropes which have been popularized in the media so we can infer that the character has, to some degree, a nominally feminist worldview. Yet the moment another woman, a woman Sally clearly sees as beneath her, attains success instead of being supportive, Sally unleashes a pathetic yaup of self-righteous rage. I think that the scene in which Sally loses it in the elevator is a commentary on the superficiality and animosity of feminism in the media.

[@Johnathanbyers]

One thing i noticed is that bullets move kinda slow in this show. I kinda like it a lot as a stylistic choice if it even is one. Like the show when theyre driving toward the gun men in the desert. You hear the bullets then a second later they start to fly through the windshield. It created this really cool calm before the explosion affect when i first watched that scene.

I'm sold! I've been hearing a little about this show here and there from a couple buddies and various online podcasts or what have you, but getting the full gist here as to just how good it is managed to bring it into full focus. Bill Hader definitely has the acting chops, as do a lot of comedians who try out some dramatic work. Steve Carroll. Adam Sandler. Vince Vaughn. Robin Williams. Doing comedies must really be taxing work that just drains the life out of an actor, so moving to other shit ends up being a cake walk. Or at least that's a running theory of mine based on little to nothing. But fucking A, Barry it is. I'm going to pull it up on my HBO Max subscription right now because, boy, what a great service that is! So many things they have, it's really something.
