Henry Winkler Was Left “Speechless” by the ‘Barry’ Series Finale Script | The Rich Eisen Show

[@polkhigh2317]

Henry Winkler is so ridiculously humble as an icon How can u not love him ? Barry is a masterpiece show

[@comicalcosmonaut959]

After seeing him as Gene, it’s so weird the actual actor be so modest lol

[@chrisleebowers]

@@comicalcosmonaut959 But then EVERYTHING ELSE about them are exactly the same. It's like Gene is dark universe Henry Winkler

[@jetrifle4209]

​@@chrisleebowers that was corny. He's an actor it's called playing a character

[@chrisleebowers]

@@jetrifle4209 No sh!t, that's why the similarties are notable. Try to keep up.

[@blindsleep]

I love the show, I just wish Season 4 was a little less rushed by the studio and they had been given a full 5 seasons to flesh out the story in a more powerful way.

[@zacshifler]

Whatever you thought about the ending, i think we can all agree that Stephen Root absolutely killed it in the last episode

[@dr3693]

he stole the show in the last season along w sally amazing acting

[@looney1023]

All of them! Anthony, Sarah, Stephen, Henry, Bill...

[@progrocker2112]

Stephen Root makes everything better, but so does Mr. Winkler. He doesn't show up as much but he always kills it.

[@progrocker2112]

@@scottystcloud7086 lol yes in this case.

[@SAK1855]

"Stephen Root absolutely killed it in [insert anything he does]."

[@jpkc86]

It’s by far one of the most well crafted shows all time. Honestly! The acting, the directing choices, the sound, the filming/editing , and of course the writing!!! This show will be used for learning in drama classes for years to come!

[@Ravenisrandom]

Absolutely. I’ll miss it, but in a way, it’ll remain with me forever, it’s never really gone :)

[@jashcicle]

Could not agree more, the ending still hits like a bag of bricks

[@Efro1632]

I'm really glad to see this sentiment articulated. I couldn't agree more.

[@mtrps_]

im just SO glad Henry Wrinkler did not just fade into oblivion or only remembered as the Fonz. He, along with the rest of the cast set a new bar with this series, definitely.

[@ivanostry3359]

He is a great actor.

[@macstrong1284]

He’s the anti-Cousineau

[@dlxmarks]

The major parts of Henry Winkler's staying power are his talent, his work ethic, and that he never let his early fame go to his head like so many other TV stars of that era did. People have to remember that being the star of a hit network show back then was a much bigger deal than it is today.

[@WordUnheard]

Henry Winkler is one of the few actors who, in spite of having been in showbusiness for over five decades, is still humbled by every role he plays. I don't care for celebrity worship or culture, but I do have a huge appreciation for genuine actors who are grateful and love what they're doing.

[@michaeldavis9300]

[@kdizzle901]

Mr Robot and Succession

[@Festoniaful]

Can't forget about The Wire

Just finished the finale. Insane. Devastated the show is over.

[@paulnolan4971]

Barry is a comedic and dramatic TV masterpiece

[@LAVATORR]

"This episode is mind-blowing." Oh wow, just saw the finale, he's totally right.

[@joostvlogs644]

it is impossible not to think you are in one of Cousineau's lessons when hearing Henry Winkler talk

[@mistrdevine]

Just finished watching the finale. Devastating.

[@mr.doctorcaptain1124]

Wasn’t it fantastic though. The final ending scene was the perfect send off to a fantastic series.

[@larserik8899]

Barry was already one of my favorite shows. But that has to be one of the best endings to a show I have ever seen

[@jameskaihatu6209]

During his time as the Fonz, Henry Winkler was invited to my high school to address the students and take a tour of our classes and workshops (it was a vo-tech). He wanted to meet everyone and was so sincere and effusive that the principal didn't even flinch when he accidentally dropped an f-bomb in his speech.

[@Julia-gc9ns]

I'll need a long time to recover after this finale. Farewell, Barry, you'll be remembered as one of the greatest TV series.

[@rawleigh729]

Barry is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen

[@saidtheepic8662]

I am so exited for the finale and so frightened that it will end

[@nathanpriestaf2303]

Masterpiece from start to finish. Didn’t need 8 seasons to tell the story, they kept it perfect all the way through. Such a bingeable show.

[@JordanNMovies]

Saw the finale last night…bless Winkler for an amazing performance.

[@CalifornianCuttlefish]

The Series Finale had me FLABBERGASTED, an incredible finale for an incredible show

[@jcbvortex22]

The reason Henry Winkler always looks so good even though he’s getting up there in year’s is because his heart is filled with love. He accepts love and gives it freely.

[@steven401ytx]

yo i asked a medical professional and they said that's basically nonsense. sorry bro

[@adoniscreed4031]

Barry stayed unpredictable to the very end... I really like the ending. Barry finally decided to redeem himself and take responsibility for his action but he was too little too late, Cousenau fell to his hubris as nobody would believe his version of events due to who he is as a person, Barry got his redemption from "God" in the form of a highly innacurate Hollywood movie and now his son will see him as hero.

[@JAF729]

but will the son see him as a hero? His mom confirmed to him that he killed people because he was a murderer not a soldier. So, it's kind of open ended as how that will play out. That was very interesting to me.

[@Skyking549]

His mom didnt talk about Barry, his friend even tells us as much. He idolized his dad. Had a rockier relationship growing up with his mom. And he has to learn about Barry through the lies that tv tells. Even the parts he knows are fake are a sweet lie. In a lot of ways he will never truely know what happened to his father. Because no one who knows the truth is brave enough to say it.

[@JuanCarlos-wr8so]

​@JAF729 while Sally told John that, she also described herself as a murderer too for the guy she killed. While we only see one scene between them after everything happens, their relationship appears unaffected after Sally's confession to him. Having been raised by Sally and Barry together for a while, the way he was raised he wouldn't be able to fathom his parents being evil murderers. John watching the movie at the end confirms to him what sally said about him being a murderer but also confirms that he wasn't a bad guy because the movie portrays Barry as being manipulated by Gene, which is untrue but he would never know that unless Sally told him the truth. So John having known Barry for the little time he did plus the movie portrayal of him, I think it's safe to say John sees his father in a positive light/hero

[@knaz7468]

Just finished the series. So good.

[@Docjonel]

SPOILER ALERT!!! SPOILER ALERT!!! Loved the ending. Only the people who were fully honest with themselves survived. Sally said she'd been a bad person, Fuches said he was heartless. NoHo Hank refused to admit the truth until it was too late. Same with Barry who only decided to turn himself in after he lost his family. When Fuches saw Barry's son, he saw the young Barry he had cared for and mentored all those years ago and realized he still loved Barry. He shielded John with his own body, and then delivered him safely to Barry.

[@stebopign]

yea. when you realize what fughs really did... redemption!

[@mkfd4571]

But, ultimately, was at peace with the fact he was a bit of a POS. The rest of them kept trying to insist they were good people.

[@HardtoReach]

It is one of the greatest series finales I've had the pleasure of watching in my lifetime.

[@lisavandenhoven5672]

The ending was tragic, and most of all for Winkler's character. The completely unceremonial deaths of major characters. The injustice in the ending narrative. Just... Shocking. And kind of deflating.

[@johlbenedict4960]

Yes exactly

[@anthos332]

I think it was straight and to the point. A fitting end. Maybe not bombastic or fast-paced, still fitting though

[@cockroachv]

This ending makes us think about movies that “true stories” and also history in general. How do we know what happened in the past? It’s just twisted mess written by either the victor or just misinterpretation of facts.

[@kush6846]

Pretty much the entire season really

highlighting how truth can be skewed by the world.

​@@RandoLePerson being a victim doesn't absolve one of all their sins, if Barry had a sliver of selflessness he would have turned himself in, among other moments where Barry chooses things best for him and no one else

He is Still probably one of the Sexiest Men Alive to Me. Before Magazines even came out with the title. I loved him in Happy Days. I was a little Black girl admiring him ( A Crush, just as young girls have). But as I got older I followed his career and his humanity towards everyone. That is really what touched my heart about this man❤. Still Beautiful! Henry is Everything! Much Respect!
