Scene from "Punch-Drunk Love"

[@okgo2591]

This scene is the best representation of anxiety I’ve ever seen

[@mykylc]

This scene is fantastic. You can only imagine the torment he went through with all these sisters growing up.

[@danielkokal8819]

I grew up with 4 sisters ( I'm the middle ! ) and I can certify all of that. I stopped going to reunions 20 years ago. That many related women in one place should be illegal.

[@mykylc]

@@danielkokal8819 i hear you. I'm the youngest in the family and i don't have much of a relationship with my sisters.

Adam Sandler could not have demonstrated more perfectly what it’s like to be severely socially awkward. This is his best performance.

[@RompaStompaz]

Agreed

[@VENUS-tf6ix]

his performance in uncut gems is very overrated. You’re definitely right

Oh Barry has reasons.

[@joshjauregui6226]

weirdly enough, this movie made me realize I had social anxiety. When I first I watched it, to me it felt like a realistic depiction about what people go through in there daily lives like being nervous to even talk to your own family members, punching bathroom stalls because its hard to conceal your regrets, or feeling like the world is against you. Then after watching it, I went ahead and looked up what the movie was actually trying to depict and that's when I found out.

[@SuperN1ntendoChalmers]

I hope you get better. That must suck. For me, my family is like Barry's sisters. My solution was to tell them all to eat a big pile of moldy shit )never did anything violent) and it worked wonders. Breaking away from family is easy, but the public anxiety issues are extremely hard to overcome. Best of luck!

[@xTheOxx]

"I don't know if there is anything wrong because I don't know how other people are." For some reason, that line REALLY resonated with me when I first heard it. It's like it explains every character in every PT Anderson movie.

[@B6kmd]

This hits home hard. One of Sandler's greatest performances.

[@pod9363]

Whoa notice at 2:58 how Barry's picture is alone on the right but the family's is over on the left. Hes an outsider even to his family.

[@Alissageex13]

I was trying to figure out why only those 2 windows shattered to the floor & not the middle one, as well. I didn't bother to look at the photos. 🤧

[@complexistence]

@2:50 You kept calling him 'gayboy,' what did you expect to happen? Even though this is just a movie, it is an accurate portrayal of the fact that humans have the tendency to say shit without thinking of the deeper consequences. I would have shattered that glass too Barry.

[@tristramrosati8149]

Identify with Barry more than any other character in film, except maybe Carrie

[@sapper7492]

God this is so relatable. The second guessing, correcting and passive aggressiveness would drive anyone insane.

[@billbrasky8525]

As a kid growing up with 90s SNL, I never took Sandler seriously. Seeing this movie when I was 15 completely floored my perceptions and expectations of his range. When it was announced that he was working with the Safdie brothers on Uncut Gems I was beyond ecstatic because I knew it was going to be something special like this work.

[@billbrasky8525]

@Lucky Luke My pleasure, you passive aggressive asshole.

[@witswg]

@@billbrasky8525 😂

[@DrakeBrunette]

My temper is so short with women who are like this..:so overbearing and judgmental on everything to the point that it’s just short of overt bullying. It’s no wonder Barry ended up the way that he is. His sisters are just awful.

[@DrakeBrunette]

@Lucky Luke why is that?

[@venkatdenduluri816]

@Lucky Luke imagine using gay randomly out of context and as an insult 🤡

[@venkatdenduluri816]

Every aunt in my family is like this sadly 😂🤡🤡🤡

[@scvman992000]

There's really nothing funny about this scene. This is a man who has hurt and pain from his past that is still affecting him in his adult life.

[@-Trauma.]

Those of us who've been through this can relate, so it's funny to us, prick.

[@jasperbirdcycle2024]

@@jasperbirdcycle2024 It's kind of funny, what do you mean how can anyone laugh?

[@donjarbyfilms2529]

Sisters from hell, who think they know what he is and what he wants. This scene is far from funny. It is tragic, tragic in the sense that he cannot rely on his own family for any support, that family that may, just may, have caused his PTSD.

[@tonywords6713]

complex post traumatic stress disorder! very real condition and actually harder to treat than "real" PTSD ironically. Hereditary does a great job as well movie wise

How to get yourself disinvited from all awkward future family events. Ought to take note of this.

[@mykylc]

I can only imagine later, he brother in law, trying to keep between himself and Barry what was said...only to have his wife badger the daylights out of him to get out what Barry and him were talking about. All the brother in laws look a bit beat down.

[@Citrus3000]

Well, it has a certain black humour behind it. I was shocked when I first saw this scene, but the ending where he's talking to the guy has a lot of evil humour in it-the sentence "Barry I'm a Dentist" says it all in my opinion.

[@venkatdenduluri816]

As a 19 year old kid with the biggest family issues you can't even imagine, I can safely say, the first time I saw this scene, I actually laughed out loud for like 20-30 seconds and shed 2 tears at the same time, believe it or not, it happened. What an amazing movie, man!

[@jnoirj3124]

I really wish that Adam Sandler could bring back this kind of acting again. He rarely does anymore.

[@iceman6953]

Watch Uncut Jems. It’s not a romcom, but it saves his career.

[@iceman6953]

That’s what I was saying

[@jnoirj3124]

@Lucky Luke So, since you're the one doing the "thinking" here. *Partly responsible* isn't the same as, *completely responsible*, correct? So, that would mean that Adam Sandler is still partly responsible as well; which would mean, my statement is still true and would make your comment redundant. Right moron? As I recall, nowhere in my comment did I even suggest that Adam's acting was all his fault.

[@Chris-qg2un]

I wonder if his photo on the wall had any symbolism in this screen. after he breaks the windows you'll see portraits of family members with him on the 2nd wall. It's the first time this caught my eye.

[@imarobot7]

The stillness of those dishes in the cabinet at 2:38 and then him breaking those windows in rage is kinda perfect 👌 The calm before the storm.

[@ciberdude611]

Notice in the scene when he breaks the glass, Barry's picture is hanging up all alone on the right while the sisters are all on the left.

[@PrivateAckbar]

I just realised that's Robert Smigel that Sandler confesses too.

2:52 ngl, I’d do the same thing if my sisters talked about me like that

[@MrBartman002]

I already grew up with one sister which is enough hell for one person can image 4 fucking sisters poor guy

[@CamHortalezayeah]

My family is like this with me (I’m the youngest). It’s not like I hate them but they are super judgmental and if you happen to burst out, they make it seem like you have an attitude or something without them realizing it was because of them. Difference is that, I learned how to fight back. Sometimes, you really have to fight back (not physically lol). I had to tone it down quite a bit though because I realize that I might turn out very judgmental.

I can only imagine what horrors poor Barry had to endure with that coven of uber bitches he calls sisters, especially Elizabeth. Her bossiness, abuse, and emasculating Barry would have made the Dalai Lama rage. Of course, they can torment him, but whenever Barry reacts, HE is the villain. It reminds me of KZbin trolls...
