Carmy's Dream Becomes a Nightmare | The Bear | FX

[@FXNetworks]

We've never seen a cooking show quite like this before...

[@LAST.L1FE]

Agreed. It's perfect.

[@youcangonowproductions]

The fact that he can still hear Mike’s voice after the dream is chilling. In a lesser show they would have just stopped all the chaos after he wakes up and just be in silence

[@cometface]

Lesser show lol this show is very average for a cable show, let alone an FX show

[@alfredgarcia6844]

@@cometfaceWhy is the show average?

[@cykakto2099]

​@alfredgarcia6844 It's not really, it has a high rating. They call it average cause it helps with their concept of themselves being someone who thinks they know what they are talking about

[@alfredgarcia6844]

@@cykakto2099 Maybe. I love this show and I think it’s fantastic, so I just wanted to hear that person’s arguments against it.

[@bgorski6937]

@cometface that's a horrible take. You may not like it but the ratings and awards say otherwise.

[@alfredgarcia6844]

0:18-0:25 The pure pain and despondency in Carm’s eyes combined with that borderline lifeless smile is so utterly heartbreaking and spine chilling at the same time. God, Jeremy Allen White is such a good actor

[@iatenailsforbreakfast8209]

One thing i adore about this scene is how accurately it portrays how WAKING UP from a dream is like. most movies will have the characters wake up with a gasp and maybe heavy breathing, but nothing else. i love how accurately this shows the pure minute of confusion you have afterwards, down to him trying to check his phone but being too tired to read it.

[@diegoferreyra4160]

Exacto, al detalle fueron los movimientos q realiza uno en algun tipo de sueño pertubardor

[@w1z4rd9]

I also love when he was cleaning the floor. I don't know if it's just me but I tend to put a slow but heavy push if the dirty mark is still on so there's really no persistent rhythm when i clean the floor. And he just did exactly that.

[@ShaneMacKinnon]

I wish all American television was this well written, performed and produced. Outstanding.

[@GOODNOIGHT]

Having Matty Matheson as a technical advisor and a Producer on the show really gave it the authenticity it needed to succeed. As a former Kitchen grunt this show hits the nail on the head

[@ericcunanan4270]

I love how the show doesn’t lean into the food porn, although there is no shortage of delicious looking food. It’s more about the people and the sacrifices they make, physical/ emotional, to keep the restaurant going.

[@Chriswallace0405]

If everything was amazing nothing would be.

I highly recommend watching Better Call Saul if you haven't already.

the shot at 2:02 and then the bear being shown gives me low key horror vibes. i love this show

[@BatmanHQYT]

Reminded me of the monkey scene from Jordan Peele's Nope. The set looks similar too.

[@BoonkyEdits]

What's amazing, is the bear appears seconds before in the background multiple times before the close shot (1:45)

[@unorthodoxromance254]

As someone who struggles with an anxiety disorder, this is a very accurate depiction of what it’s like. Right down to the bad dreams like this. I appreciate how this series shows mental health problems and feels like a PSA for getting treatment.

I have had probs with depression and anxiety my whole life and sought out meds and therapy for more than half my life and it didn’t help me at all.

[@molasses2008]

At 1:45, if you’re observant enough, you can see the bear just chilling there Welsh. Carmy breaks down

[@Vesperitis]

I’ve had nightmares like this before. One moment you’re in a familiar setting and in control, and the next you’re absolutely convinced you’re literally in hell, even though you don’t think you deserve it.

[@carterwatson1949]

Jeremy is such an incredible actor he deserves to be on more awesome shows

[@MonkeyMan90.5]

Bro, Jeremy Allen White is genuinely one of the most amazing actors I’ve ever seen. This scene is perfect.

[@hatred9427]

"Hey bear, let it rip." I'm tattooing this in my arm

[@lukedaley17]

Speaking as a British fan of the series. The Bear is the perfect example of Well written, filmed and performed American tv drama.

[@victoriaburroughs8399]

I’ve never seen the Bear before in my life (though I likely will after watching this scene), but this is one of the best depictions of anxiety I’ve ever seen put to screen. Forgetting where you are, trapped in a prison of your own insecurities and worst memories. Every simple mistake escalated into a world-ending catastrophe, while the people you’re trying to prove yourself to mock you while you spiral and it all becomes so terrible and overwhelming that you scream “STOP! I CANT DO THIS!” but no one can hear you screaming. The “I’m trying guys, please stop laughing at me” especially hit home for me. Just purely masterful acting by Jermey Allen White. He certainly earned that Golden Globe ❤

[@johnbrooks6671]

Masterclass acting, editing, all of it

[@jasonlee148]

This one performance deserves the Emmy.

[@arbitrarylib]

Incredible actor.

[@aadliafiq]

Little small detail that i love is that the only time he hear his head chef's voice is when he compliment himself. After all the experience, all his achivement, all his awards, the head chef words still lingers at the back of his head. Just like any creative in this world that voice will forever haunt you , i guess thats probably the reason why Carmy is not as mean or as explosive as a the headchefs that he work with except episode 7

[@Limpass610]

But he is always on the verge of just taking everybody's head off. Thats why the bear is in a cage. Like he is not confident enough to fully take the reign because the the voices. If he could he would. 3rd season might show that. Haven't seen it yet

[@desireechick]

Man, whenever there was a close up, he looked so much like Gene Wilder, I just wanted him to say "good day, sir!" LOL. Ever since some folks brought that comparison, I can't not see it now.

[@sararenner9963]

This is my favorite beginning scene to a season finale episode everrrrr

[@SeyhawksNow]

Really creative way to fill in all the gaps. A typical cable show would have Carmy tell the story in episode 1. Instead we're left wondering most of the show that by the time we reach it we are dying to know, and we get it in a fake cutesy cooking show, where chefs are infamous for telling stories about why they love the recipes

[@gbalao8885]

Really like how surreal this gets, with Carmy’s ingredients and equipment disappearing, as he dreams up a grizzly bear on set whilst in a sitcom backdrop while having flashbacks of Michael along the way. What Carmy is going through is a Welsh slang called “hiraeth”, which means “longing for a home or person that had been lost, and no longer exists”, as he claimed later in the episode, that running the Beef was like trying to fix what was wrong with Michael the whole time.

Beat me to it! This feels like the fever dream scene Elliot has when on morphine withdrawal in S1E4 and also the adderall scene at the start of S2. There's 100% a Mr. Robot influence on this show I'm sure of it. The new S3 promo also uses a song that was used on Mr. Robot (love on a real train by Tangerine Dream)

Wow, that is a PTSD dream… probably c = complex PTSD.. I also did notice the gold faucet…. Impressive! Who knows when I will get to change my faucet..

Anxiety is terrible. I have lost work over having panic attacks. We would all benefit from learning more about how to manage mental health and help people who are suffering. 30% of Americans are on psych meds. Then add in the people on street drugs and booze. More people are out here suffering than we care to admit or realize.

[@TheOrangeneck]

[@TheManiHimself]

Because of the underlying mental illness and family dysfunctionality(if thats a legit word) in the main characters (bojack-his parents/carmy-michael(late phase of their childhood) this show is pretty deep for such a based plot, i’d have to tip my hat to the writers
