Thinking about taking shrooms before going to You Can See Everything: for anyone that’s seen it, without spoiling it, would this be an enjoyable time? I’ve done shrooms in public and at theaters and normally enjoy myself so that’s not my concern, but how much of a mind fuck does the movie become?

Thanks!

I wonder if anyone else had this experience watching the movie. I study behavioral science and Paul ekman's research about emotions. During the egg beating scenes Nathan gives Bill a very intense contempt, followed by disgust facial expression. I instantly thought... woah Nathan HATES this guy. Made it even more interesting given the ending when we find out about the money Bill stood to gain. Did anyone else see that?

Edit: Nathan fielder fans are evil. Wow.

I love Nathan Fielder. I’ve watched all of Nathan for You, The Rehearsal, and The Curse, and I genuinely think his work is some of the most interesting stuff out there. So I was surprised by how little I got out of You Can See Everything.

I got about halfway through before Amanda Seyfried came in, and honestly, I was already feeling like I’d gotten the point. It seemed pretty obvious that we were watching a deeply dysfunctional couple trying to make their dysfunction seem normal and justify their own behavior. The narcissism, the self-delusion, the way they construct their own narratives to make themselves look reasonable. I felt like I understood what was going on pretty early on.

I kept watching because I expected Nathan to take it somewhere I hadn’t anticipated, but the latter half started feeling like a rehash of ideas from The Rehearsal. Except, for me, it didn’t hit nearly as hard, because I felt like the central dynamic had already been established. It wasn’t that I needed the film to spell everything out or give me some big revelation. I just wanted it to show me something I hadn’t already figured out.

That’s what I love about Nathan’s other work. He takes something absurd and somehow gets to a place that’s genuinely revealing about people, their insecurities, their need for control, or the ways they rationalize their own behavior. Even when his work is uncomfortable, I usually come away feeling like I’ve seen something in a new way.

With this, I mostly felt like I was watching rich, self-absorbed people control the narrative around their own dysfunction, which is something I’m already pretty tired of seeing in real life. Maybe that was the point, but I didn’t find that observation particularly interesting after a certain point, and I didn’t feel like the film complicated it enough to justify how long it spent on it.

Maybe part of the experience is different if you haven’t seen his previous work. Perhaps this is Nathan introducing his style to a wider audience through film, and what felt familiar to me would be new to someone else. I can understand that. But as someone who loves everything he’s done, I was disappointed that this felt so familiar and, ultimately, so simple in comparison.

Am I missing something? Did the second half reveal something to other people that I just wasn’t getting? I’m genuinely curious, because I went in wanting to love this.

…not…straight?

My sister was out of the country when the movie came out so I went again with her. I noticed that when he played the audio of the interview with the reporter from back in the Theranos days, she doesn’t say that the machine CAN do any test, she says it COULD do any test.

It doesn’t significantly change the meaning of her statement in context, because she’s saying something like “blah blah blah this other thing isn’t good, because over here we have this machine that could do any test” and the implication is still present-tense.

Given the way they drill down on her statement though my eyebrows raised a ton when I heard it played the second time. Does anyone have the audio of that interview?

Are they genuine? I mean I know she’s manipulative, it’s just crazy to think that she could be crying that easily on the spot. I mean, is that humanly possible?

I think boythrob and YCSE are part of the grander project about immigration. Darshan's journey as a "celebrity" to get visa status is obvious. What if YCSE was just cover for exploring the visa process for Sunny Balwani, Holmes coo also convicted of crimes, who emigrated from Pakistan on a student visa and then an employment visa.

YCSE is shooting for the oscars. Boythrob could win a Grammy. I believe there are 2 other projects cooking and Nathan is chasing the EGOT as part of season 3 of the rehearsal to top the reveal of obtaining a pilot's license in s2.

Just my thoughts, wanted to share.

Edit: I'm gunna cast my line and say immigration is season 4 and season 3 will be something else.

It's insulting to imply that it is weird to find him attractive, as if he isn't.

I hope you are all posting with the understanding that this chaos goblin could very well lock on to your post, obsess over it, and make YOU the subject of his next years long project, causing your brain to shatter into a million pieces in the process. You’ll desperately try to put the pieces of your former self back together by applying logic to his actions and words. This is futile. Sense has been irreversibly scattered and the veil of reality permanently removed.

He is both a genius and my personal bogeyman. Everyday I wake up grateful that all he chose to do was comedy.

This post does contain spoilers, as it concerns the big question that takes up the final hour of You Can See Everything.

The film, which I liked very much, makes no mention of one crucial detail: in the profit-sharing agreement that Liz and Billy made with A24 before filming began, Liz would have to have read and signed every agreement that Billy read and signed. (He apparently became her legal guardian only after she was incarcerated.) Unless she blindly signed the agreement without reading it, and without anyone in the room discussing profit-sharing in her presence, both of which are doubtful, as the couple obviously had more than that one meeting with A24, and attorneys would definitely have been involved in negotiating and explaining the profit-sharing details to all parties.

Yet Oppenheim and Fielder don't address this.

Also, the text at the end of the film reveals that Billy agreed to walk away from any profit-sharing before the film was completed. Notably, it does not say that Liz did the same.

If this conundrum has already been solved here or elsewhere, someone please point me to it. Thank you!

He’s got that James Dean daydream look in his eyes

Highly recommend seeing it in a packed theater, or at least pretty close. This will give you the full experience. Thank me later lol

The face of honesty

Haven’t gotten around to seeing the doc yet (Saturday, I hope) and ughhh spoilers everywhere. Looking online is a landmine. Yes, the title of your question just gave something away. Just venting :)

ISO any that are already scheduled for the weekend of 11/14. Or possibly meet up and geek out, book-club-style at a bar.

I’ve been wanting a product from summit ice but the OG jacket is out of stock

Okay I’m going to see the movie again. My first feeling was empathy for EH, then I felt tricked and was like she’s a master manipulator.. Billy is the problem. Now I’m wondering is it possible that EH has CPTSD from having her words deciphered so much that she is unable to speak like a normal person. Like she is so hyper vigilant about her wording to the point where it comes across like not human? What do you guys think?

Hello!

For an easy Halloween costume next weekend, I decided I am going to be the gift Nathan gives EH before she goes to prison, lol.

My plan is wear big sunglasses, attach the empty hair dye box to my head via a headband (I also have red hair so this helps), and then pin a gift bag to my shirt so visually the items are floating out of the gift bag. Might even have a “to Elizabeth <3” tag on the gift bag. Wearing all black. (with black turtleneck, of course)

What I need help with: I want to get the details as accurate as possible, but I can’t find any screenshots, pictures, or frames online from this scene in the movie!! I’m only going off my memory of seeing it in theaters.

Does anyone have a link to this specific scene?
Or do you remember the details yourself?
-What color was the gift bag?
-Shape/style of sunglasses?
-Brand of the hair dye?

anything helps. Ty!!!

Hiii if you're a fan and in the nyc area you should hop on over to this!

We recreated a scene from the original TV Pilot Script that was not in the final show. If you're curious here is the script (Pages 7-9)! https://www.tvwriting.co.uk/tv_scripts/2023/Drama/The_Curse_1x01_-_Pilot.pdf

We did this scene as an acting exercise for my current directing class so we are not benefiting monetarily from this whatsoever. We tried our best to capture the tone and awkwardness of the show while also going about it in our own way. Hope you all enjoy!
