Modern Family Alex Princeton Interview - 06x13

[@VideosOfRandomContext]

Whoever wrote the script is a fuckin genius 😂 this was GOLD

[@pachyderm8264]

This is the problem with Hollywood. Everyone knows the actors who basically just do as they are told but almost no one knows the brilliant writers who make the actual art.

[@VideosOfRandomContext]

@@pachyderm8264 I agree!!

[@atulcharasiya2809]

mm beg to differ, it was okay-ish, kinda predictable also smth that would never happen

[@VideosOfRandomContext]

@@atulcharasiya2809 I still found it hella funny. The way the actress who plays Alex delivers it was hilarious 😂

[@shawtybaeerick6551]

The fact that Hailey's phone is upside down during her call

[@Cosmic_idea]

I am convinced that is why some people turn on speaker when in public. Because they don't know which way to hold the phone.

[@jeeperslol8010]

@@Cosmic_ideabut technically it makes sense tho right cuz the mic would be closer to the mic so sound would b better on both ends no?

Yea but Alex is hot AF

[@dhruvbhatnagar4180]

This was a fantastic scene, I just wish they'd have nailed it from a narrative progression standpoint. Alex is a typical Type A personality - brilliant, ambitious, diligent. But she's also socially awkward and deeply insecure, which is why (as a defense mechanism) she's condescending towards Haley who has something she secretly covets - a vibrant social life. Here, if Alex had only got through her interview using Haley's advice (which she almost did!) it would have taught her a valuable life lesson - that book-smart isn't everything and a rounded, adventurous personality is important even to top Ivy League schools since they value diversity on their campuses. Plus she'd have also learnt to appreciate people like Haley and Phil who are light-footed in the journey of life. The interviewer had already read the application materials of all these accomplished candidates. That's why they made it this far! She desperately wanted to know them as people, which is why she found Alex so damn interesting. Ergh! god I wish they'd stuck the landing on this gem of scene!

[@paulac.munoztorres]

This point of view is absolutely fantastic and very realistic. When you spend all your life working toward a dream,you forget you are a human being, you become a robot focused on results. Yet the same people who brainwashed you into thinking you need that robotic perfection lay you off for not being spontaneous, adventurous or easy going enough 😂 they all can go eat a bag of dicks

Alex shouldn't lower herself to be some dumb bimbo to get into places lmao

[@diegoperalta440]

always thought the redheaded did an awesome job with this short role.

[@sakekitkat]

It's Aya Cash, she's a lead in a show called You're the Worst and she's amazing

[@daveme1239]

And she played one of the most hated characters in television history in the boys.

[@nishatanjumnourin7711]

The whole thing shows what's wrong with today's society. Academic people are forced to fit in by shallow standards. Pathetic. Alex is amazing in every ways, she din't have to pretend to be someone else to get into Princeton.

[@VideoGuy232]

The far more reasonable way of phrasing your insight is that academic people (and let’s be frank here, all people) are forced to STAND OUT in order to succeed. Alex came into that interview like every other applicant, and would have failed to differentiate herself from the other candidates had she not overheard the interviewer and heard Haley’s story beforehand. Why would they choose or even remember her if she has the exact same credentials as her peers? The takeaway being that a well rounded personality is a positive, not a negative. And that conformity is not limited to “superficial societies,” but also “academic societies.” Why is it suddenly better to conform to an academic stereotype as opposed to a social one like Haley? I think you’ll find that one isn’t inherently superior to the other

[@clonnlijinhlong2713]

Yeah true. But it definitely helps to "stand out", BUT (again) the staff/admission board shouldn't deprive admission for talented students just because the other's have a more "likeable" and different personality. This is also something wrong with today's world, if you're like Alex, they would call you boring and "not living life" but in all seriousness, when you're hailey, they would call you a skank, and doesn't have self respect, etc. I mean, tell it from these influencer videos where they interview people on the streets, people who don't do wild things are called boring and "future cat-lady". But when the people did something like destroying ex's shirt or stealing things from a store once...the people would be like...OMG SLAYYY, I WISH TO BE FRIENDS WITH HER, etc

[@DDiamond8374]

It took me a while to recognize Stormfront.

[@DoubtingThomas89]

Omg

[@Mothmoth3]

I love this show, but I don’t like the way highly academic people are viewed in Hollywood in general, the always make fun of them and show them only cool if they act shallow or dressed sexy

[@LeahWalentosky]

I hate it how it’s two sided they are always one or the other with no inbetween.

[@paulac.munoztorres]

THIS. Apparently you’re only okay when you are stupid and shallow like the rest, forget all the work you have done to get to the top.

[@earedrobot7906]

Hollywood is full braindead spiteful losers who resent smart accomplished people, hence why. Irl Alex would have best of both worlds cause she's both accomplished and pretty, while Hailey would be some high school dropout that does onlyfans not because she cant study but because these kind of people think they are too good to make an effort and they deserve better in exchange of nothing. The problem with people like Hailey and the interviewer is the lack of manners and the latent narcissistic personalities what makes them so unlikeable, not that they are pretty or sexy. Smart people with good careers are usually very social and well liked, people who peaked in high school are not.

[@WannabeWryter]

Interviews aren't just about what you are, but who you are.

[@catsballs9657]

So if Im secretly a genius with high IQ and EQ and I show up to a Harvard interview with no accomplishments and school records, they'll immediately accept me because who I am is so good?

[@SonNguyen-mk2wq]

@@catsballs9657 Re-read the statement. You went off on the deep end there. "Interviews aren't JUST about what you are..." They didnt say academics didnt count. Just that there is more than that in interviews.

[@catsballs9657]

@@SonNguyen-mk2wq people interview because they want a certain set of skills. Not to see if you're compatible with everyone and if you party and have 100 fucking friends.

It's already exceptional to be able to get an interview for Princeton. But unfortunately, based on the info I got, the interview actually is not given a lot of weight.
