i love how he speaks with his ENTIRE body.

[@phineasfromtheshow]

Sea of AG it really shows how much of an amazing actor he is and how much he truly is in character

[@a.krishna3924]

well it was theater not TV he needed to communicate with his body

[@iapples38]

@@phineasfromtheshow it's not a thing just amazing actors do. You HAVE to when in theater. You're so small inside this huge stage, and you have to portray your movements for the back row. In TV, they zoom in so subtlety is better, but watch Broadway or other theatrical performances. Most people have to talk with their bodies. How they do so is what makes him a good actor. Some people do it too much and just flail on stage, some people look like moving sticks, not moving at all. It shows. Timothy seems to have good balance for stage presence. That's why he's a good actor

[@aneerhtak1033]

Ali the sad harsh truth is that the white ppl in the back were laughing in agreement, knowing fully well that what timothees character actually is (a douchebag,hypocritical & prejudice). His character made some valid points, and when I mean some I mean a droplet. But the majority of his arguments are hypocritical & ironic, and for the white ppl in the audience it was like music to their ears to hear reverse racism/discuss topics where they can low key shade black ppl & get away with it.

[@BinLadenDied]

is the audience laughing because they understand that it's satirical or do they genuinely find this funny

[@ScullyLikesScience]

This just shows Timothée Chalamet's brilliance. The fact that he could portray a character so believably that it causes all this discussion and arguments in the comments. Especially that he chose a monologue by a character who is literally the opposite of who he is as a person, a belief system that is diametrically opposed to his own, and portray it so convincingly.

[@animalfinatic9366]

No offense Timothée is a great character I just think many of these people are stupid. To genuinely believe this has any legitimacy to it is absurd. It's clearly satire

[@Whitney2022]

Wow are people really THAT slow?! OF COURSE this is satirical and OF COURSE Timothèe is not a racist monster in real life! What makes this hole monologue (apparently out of a play/book called "White people") so funny is not only his passionate delivery but the ridiculousness and all the hypocrisy that comes with this character. It is just a role, which is supposed to show how ignorant people can be by deliberatly believing in all kinds of stereotypes about black people. I am black and I nearly peed my pants while watching this video because I was laughing so hard lol

[@a.krishna3924]

I think it’s one thing to understand the satire in it. The issue is that the audience seems to be laughing very hard as if they’re in agreement with the CHARACTER’S views. Not laughing because of the satirical point of view

[@elyse166]

right, they’re laughing like “hahah I feel that way too”, it’s just a little too hard and loud for me to think they don’t think that way

[@vixenriah]

i feel like that just means they were the exact type of audience the writer intended to hear the monologue. the last sentence being a slap in the face at the end of all of their laughing- like oh sh*t he’s talking about me. u can tell by how silent they got after his last line. i feel like an audience who already agreed w the moral wouldn’t have laughed as hard and would’ve reacted sooner to the final words

[@illanifletcher4306]

yeah I agree

[@sammysoppy3361]

i think they think his performance is funny, cause it is. this arts program is not some all white program and the parents and attendees are from all walks of life and you’re basically projecting a lot on to an audience u can’t see for laughing at a pretty funny performance bc it’s supposed to be … till it hits you at the end

I'm completely obsessed with this piece. The most interesting thing, and the difference between this performance and the shortened version he gives at his graduation/final performance (also on YT), is how the energy of the audience and the stage is powering his acting. Both are great performances, but this one is elevated by the excited energy of the crowd, and likely his energy on stage. It's awesome, all the way around.
