I just heard about this show yesterday on a podcast and watched the first three episodes last night, and 4 & 5 just now. What convenient timing for a finale. Love it, I’ve never seen Nathan For You so I don’t have much context for his work, but am glad that this completely bizarre little show exists.

That was definitely more emotional of a finale than I expected from this saga

There isn't a horror director alive or dead who could have set up the feelings of dread I had watching the last half of that episode.

This whole thing is too hosed. I feel terrible for Remy but his mom really should not have put him in that situation and told the crew he was a child actor if he didn’t understand what acting was.

inferis posted:does any six year old really understand what acting is? My kiddo's 5 and definitely understands acting, and that actors are the people who pretend to be the characters in movies. We were at a birthday party and they had hired two probably highschool girls come out as Anna and Elsa from Frozen and do a little schtick in character and read a book form of Frozen to the kids. They came out and I asked my kid "do you think that's the real Anna and Elsa" and they immediately said no. I was like "right, those people are only acting" and they interrupted to say "yeah! They're the actors that played Anna and Elsa in Frozen!" and then got real starstruck.

This is a fuckin' weird show and it's better for it. Can't bring myself to analyse the ending scenes beyond that leaving the shots showing the rear end crack is a clear nod that no rehearsal is perfect, there'll always be small details that ruin the moment. But woof, what an episode.

Before he became a mom, it felt like he might stop accelerating it to the skid. Then it became horrific and then sad and amazing.

mastershakeman posted:as a parent of a 6 year old, this is absolutely brutal. good lord Yeah, that first 10 minutes was heartbreaking (dad of 8 year old twins + 3 year old here) inferis posted:does any six year old really understand what acting is? Yeah, on some level they do, at least in abstract. Like my kids would talk about recognizing some actor playing different parts in different shows or that one would be doing VO in a cartoon then acting in another. I think where it gets really murky IMO is prolonged and direct exposure to that artifice, which is what happened here to an extreme degree of immersion, especially with Remy and the older 8-9 yro Adam. Nathan admits as much throughout the season about himself and he's a guy in his late 30's (although that could obviously be fake and just saying it, it sure looked legit). I rewatched his rehearsal for The Rehearsal, "Finding Francis," again today, he says a line over narration when he's out with Maci he will return to in this show: "the more we kept shooting things, the harder it became to tell where the show ended and the life began." I also wasn't really cognizant of it until I was a parent and it seems really obvious, but the difference in understanding and maturity, sometimes between 1-1.5 years is staggering. Kids at 5-6 can understand that they're playing on some level, however they can still also really immerse themselves in play (see the numerous examples of some kid wearing a full costume of something in public because to them in that moment or few hours, they ARE that character and will not accept or respond to being addressed as themselves.) Remy's mom probably told him he would be "playing" a role as the son, but given his painful awareness that he doesn't have one and heartbreaking desire for a father in his life, I can easily see where the fiction becomes overwhelmingly hard to dissociate despite knowing it's not true. tldr: this show is amazing and I can't think of another piece of media that moved me in so many different and unexpected ways
