My Dinner With Andre - Clip 3 of 3 - Doing Things

[@cidsapient7154]

i really need to watch this movie beginning to end this is quite amazing

[@davidherd7041]

I got the film because of the brainwashed clip, I live just up the road from the Findhorn in the film. Fascinating film how a conversation over a dinner can be so engrossing, who knew?

I​@@davidherd7041 I knew...because 99% of movies rot your brain.

[@remy9232]

I love Wallace Shawn's face @9:40...an epiphinal moment, where, in my opinion, he finally understands the central point of the conversation - Andre is having a mid-life crisis and is fearful that time is passing him by, no matter how much he has achieved, seen, done, etc. Wallace in the cab starts to reminisce about his life as he passes Manhattan landmarks of his youth, because he also feels as though time has passed him by, as he races home to Debbie. A poor man's take on MDWA.

What’s the Piaono song playing for the last seconds of the video

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, but who's listening? No one can spare the time - - too busy with more "important" matters. Great post. Thank you.

[@dustinblack2006]

We've never known what it is to NOT exist, so that might be the stupidest question ever.

why does it take a lifetime to realize foundational principles?./ these things should be shared at 18, not 48. / i loved not so much what was said, but that it was being talked about. / communication is the beginning of understanding.

[@steelyman08]

I agree. You're even lucky if you're learning them at 48 these days!

[@metaknight7117]

I think that’s the irony of it Old yearn for the past While The young chases the future

[@jeffdude6088]

Because, when you share the wisdom earned by time and trouble with an 18 year old, they seldom listen. They have to learn the hard way as well.

[@redryan20000]

Partly because you just aren't mature enough at 18. You can hear the ideas but do they really have an impact? Likely not for most.

[@josepharsenault1083]

Knowledge is shared. Wisdom is earned. You can explain to someone how uncomfortable the shoes they’re wearing will eventually become, but until they’ve walked as many miles in them as you have- no amount of explanation can teach as well as experience.

[@tcharleston81]

Inconceivable! :-)

[@eaglebynature]

the place of forgetting! THE BEST THING EVER! i had a car accident:) booooooooy that was an awesome experience! it wasn`t me driving and i am not a freak! BUT realising how freee we are and yet so bound by circumstances! we are just particle of dust in the imesity of it all! my point is ! that forgetting experience i had in that accident was awesome! i really felt alive! my mother allmost died, and i was by miracle alive! still life is a mistery, and i got some of it that day of the accident :)

The song is Gymnopedie 1 by Erik Satie

[@Sina.g.z]

I knew it but failed to remember for several days.

[@triple6758]

Great Piece.

[@vhill79]

It’s my Alarm clock song every morning.

[@renzo6490]

My early years were lived amid emotional chaos. A committed, intimate relationship such as Andre describes has always struck me as a dangerous folly…like grabbing the tail of a wild irrational animal. Who could I possibly trust enough? So many humans are damaged and broken. I am drawn to the lyrics of Mahler’s song: Ich Bin Der Welt Abhanden Gekommen . To me, the Covid lockdown was, in many ways,heaven.

Love this

[@covariance5446]

Great movie, indeed. I'm kind of inspired to leave my girlfriend after re-watching this scene.

[@nappy-headedknuckleheads9109]

This movie might have invented MGTOW

[@richard7645]

I bet you played away from home after this didn't you?

[@rambam77]

Did you travel the uncharted seas?

[@redryan20000]

@@nappy-headedknuckleheads9109 The opposite - Andre's whole perspective is that being in a committed relationship with a woman, really feeling things, are the best of life. This is what MGTOW avoids.

[@scotrubi5296]

Well did you?

[@ross1880]

This movie is great but it's a conversation only the bourgeoisie can have. People who work check to check don't have the luxury, and the truly wealthy don't worry about such things.

[@cidsapient7154]

id say its ppl who dont want to be bourgeois but are surrounded by them just my take tho

[@redryan20000]

Anybody can think or say these things. They're pretty well fundamental for humans.

[@pballfan]

This movie was made when the bell curve of classes still existed (The middle being the giant population of the middle class). Although the setting can be updated to the pandemic when people had a lot of thoughts while stuck in their homes.

[@sheevinopalpatino4782]

The working class is almost extinct in the Western world. We've replaced everything by machinery or moved it overseas.

[@DanielMartinez-dq1zr]

I think that’s a very limiting statement that underestimates the intelligence of the lower class.

[@renzo6490]

The sacramental element?

[@junomars7586]

wow, it was always the same

[@lionelkentler]

yes

[@richard7645]

There's some intelligent stuff said here.

[@vuotopiuscuro]

honestly asked

[@vuotopiuscuro]

what of it

[@greatsea]

Socratic dialogue for existentialists. The content is brilliant--a spiritual manifesto! But the format...it just didn't do it for me. I had trouble being convinced by it.

[@_ANGST]

This is just to let go of indoctrination, ideas or thoughts and follow impulses. Life becomes quite simple after that, in a good and bad way.

[@danamorrell7810]

Hmm do you think Andre would say to go by impulse rather than thoughts? I feel like the core of what he's saying is live how you truly wish to live in each moment. To me that might mean acting based on logic in one moment and based on feeling in the next.

[@Message1inthesame]

Wally ain’t making no good points

[@heathersmith9032]

just wait, the second half of the conversation is where Wally shines

[@teak43]

this movie would have been so much better if Shawn had played the Andre role

[@saprissa30]

no

[@jamesrivera4947]

Clearly, Shawn, as follicle-challenged as he is, comes around, at first blush, as the more intellectual of the two, though the voice doesn't quite work. Better in "Crackers."
