Brit Marling of Netflix's 'The OA' had a Near Death Experience at Goldman Sachs 

Ya all her movies have original, interesting ideas. Exactly what is lacking in Hollywood today...

@Roger Edgerton You must be one of the "dumb masses" I bet you saw the new Avengers movie and loved it....

@@Scorch428 lolololol llo lolol....👏

@@Scorch428 Hollywood never had much creativity. They look to make money. Super man one was nice, then they go and make five Superman movies, Ten shitty batman movies, never realy taking risks on making a movie about real life. Hbo and Netfix take risks and created great Tv shows.

Well if you love her..Then why dont you go marry her

why? are they cancelling it?

Such a clever brain this lady has. Hurry up think season 3

zurzak ne-etra yes, they canceled it.

🙏👏👏👏

@@zurzakne-etra7069 They're just canceling it

He's fantastic!

Right on! He's great. I wish there were more like him. Someone I'd put in the same league is Cheryl Waters of KEXP. Goes to such great lengths to put all of her guests at ease and asks insightful questions.

@@paulcassidy4559 Wow thanks for that recommendation, just now watching some of her interviews with a couple of my favorite music artists, and she's a delight. Asks all the right questions and makes her guests feel comfortable.

I actually find the opposite.

@@turion2319 your mother.

We riot

Riot time 😈

HELL YES

Let’s riot

Yes who do we have to kidnap to make this happen??

Maybe she is she just doesn't remember

We been blessed

Same

@@lilkris3008 she does but she doesn't believe it

I met her when she was filming the OA in my small NorCal town a year ago. I hadn't seen the show, but I LOVED the movie "Another Earth", and I told her so...she was warm and gracious, and her complexion is flawless. I pretty much fan-girled all over her and she couldn't have been nicer...

PenelopeDinkledong S 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

like you too . .):

Right? Mine too

If not this reality, you will in another 👀

She said everything that kids who wanted to do something else in life but was told to do what our parents wanted or considered a 'safe' route in life.

I feel this so much.

syzygy10 damn that stings

syzygy 10, Her words on "losing their imagination" immediately caught my attention as did your comment. I believe it is not lost, more like tamped down or even beaten out of us by our culture and others.

Yea, so true. heres the ting, a lot of people dont hae a choice, they have to work. as a creative person myself, its been a struggle to act day in and day out...to get the job done. Doing my best not to make a mistake and also fit in fashion wise...while still be an individual..with a lot of vintage clothes :-)

She’s great, but if you’re someone who doesn’t think whilst speaking you got an issue haha

@@ghozter1 People are conscious when they speak (usually), but thinking before and while one speaks is not as common as you seem to believe.

I am trying so hard to love Season 2. I really, really am.

@@fullofstars977 I was worried when I first saw the trailer but when I watched it I loved it

Ana Hendricks ,start with season 1 again and binge through season 2. This will make much better sense for you. Also the first two episodes of season 2 will essentially start this new chapter so you may feel what I and others felt (a little off) and wonder where they’re going. It does all pull together at the end of season 2 and that is just how Brit has written the elements of the show so you can understand the tiers of dimensional travel. Unfortunately as it’s written it takes building up through several episodes to get you those answers. Season 2 is more or less building on season 1 for season 3 which I am sure is going to get really intense. The writing is genius and I wish I could say more but I am avoiding spoilers.

Deanith ,that’s just it you have to watch and not miss anything, it is your full undivided attention.

@@glennedward2201 I liked season 2 even more than season 1

Its because people werent watching it. Wasnt bringing in new viewers.

The only show as trippy as The OA I can think of , is Twin Peaks. Its from the 90s. If you haven't watched and love the OA, watch Twin Peaks. I've been obsessing over it for the past decade. ❤ both of these series are niche. Not for everyone, but for those who are within thay niche, it's a rare treat.

Money

Mr. Robot is the only other show that I can compare The OA to in regards to a complete visionary. That may not make sense unless you've watched all 4 seasons of Mr. Robot. And for the record, it's no conspiracy why OA was canceled. It got canceled because it didn't bring in new subscribers. That's how Netflix works. Doesn't matter how many people watch it. It's how many new people it brings in.

@@Magdalena8008s Well, they lost me as a subscriber because I cannot watch the next seasons and their subscription is now too expensive anyway. But I would subscribe again if they made the other seasons.

And such a wonderful profile picture

I was thinking the same as I read, totally refreshing. As much a I do like to feel others opinions, today is such a dangerous and toxic experience.

The elevating power of Brit.

GAAAY

This show seems to attract a good crowd.

Love this. Pioneer. ♡ I'm sure you've inspired others.

I'm dealing with this right now. Hoping to take the best decisions

@@daviddv3459 you can do anything, if you have the right support from the right people its easy

@Will Hale You'll make your own luck, but I wish it to you all the same. :)

I'm heading down the path you were. I make enough money and have a good job, but it doesn't bring happiness. I need to learn to take that leap.

Dont forget to feed your kid...

Completely terrifying and brilliant. And im so glad you liked it. You’re one of us! Keep having an open mind. The world needs more people like this

Blaise, would you think me shallow if I said that moment gave me chills?

Somebody took her Red Stapler, so she [metaphorically] burned the building down -- the building of her boring-ass cubicle career. \o/

Kristopher Gifford I worked in investment banking in a major city in the financial district. It sounds glamorous when you apply. When you get there on day one it all goes away. You don’t feel special or glamorous at all. You sit at your cubicle and just get fed repetitive, mind numbing work for 80 hours a week that really doesn’t require any sort of intelligence at all. You make financial models and marketing materials in PowerPoint all day long. Your tasks never change. Oh and if your model doesn’t look right from the perspective of making your clients growth projections look good, you just tweak a number to make it look good for the public or for potential buyers if you’re in m&a. So much for “financial analysis”. There’s a culture in place where it’s hard to get a job there and they make it seem that you have to be really smart to work there. But the repetitive soul crushing work can really be done by anyone with a basic understanding of finance and a basic calculator by your side. Oh and after you get your nice paycheck you only have 1/3rd of it left after all your expenses of living in a big city. Oh and when you divide the hours you work by your pay, you realize you’re only making minimum wage to begin with. And also forget having a girlfriend, friends, or any social life. They will all hate you for canceling every single even you had planned because you’re on call 24/7. Even if you have no work to do they’ll get pissed if you leave the office because the culture is fucked. Lol sorry man, just had to let that out. It was a really fucking depressing atmosphere.

I originally watched OA because of 'Sound of My Voice' and was delighted to encounter again the same themes of longing for a tribe, mixed with faith and doubt, and never being quite sure knowing what to believe, but yearning for it to be true. OA2 probably goes a bit too far in answering the questions but I can't deny I was delighted to discover it on Netflix today and I just binged the entire series in one sitting...

CalviNNation Her job at Goldman sacs made her realize this story she can tell

CalviNNation I would like to know what you changed after seeing OA ...🤔

@@dariopetroni1819 I'm an aspiring filmmaker so it gave me such a different idea of storytelling. I see so many filmmakers trying to develop stories that will sell rather than trying to tell really personal stories. Likewise with in that personality I witnessed a story of feeling and emotion I've never quite seen before. Specifically in the scene where the revive scott it just made me realize the power of human sympathy and connection.

Watch I-Origins! Or Another Earth! I feel all of her films are connected in some way..

period

Exuded from the inside and then reflected on the outside!

She's beguiling to look at

Roger Nehring right when she said “A lived life” there was your comment staring at me.

Don't go with what she says. Some people do like what they are working on in corporate and then some don't have other options like family money or whatever. Chose the path that works for you.

me tooo! im a lawyer that its should to be starting his career but I want to be an actress

Maccarena Perez Do you think that it's because you accomplished a difficult feat ? Studying long hours, getting a degree & that serves a proof that you can accomplish anything... Many people opt not to go into their chosen field of study.

Totally agree.

Wow....you are really brave

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now. - William Hutchison Murray

kimmykimko spot on

Yes

Not just the best show on netflix, the best show ANYWHERE! It cannot even be compared to other shows, it's from another dimension.

I don't know how I never even heard of The OA until late 2022. Maybe that's why it wasn't as popular? People just didn't know about it? I just discovered it and binged both seasons and can't believe there's not more!

SolarEXtract You are stronger than you yourself know. You just need to accept your reality, let it absorb into your soul and you’ll be free.

@@anyssamychelle730 It's just really hard to do when I don't have the support I need around me. I feel so alone when it comes to my dreams.

SolarEXtract i feel you

SolarEXtract i understand, especially when i dont have goldman sachs job money prior haha

I know how you feel stranger but you should remember that no one’s support and belief is as dire as your own. Be your own best friend. You only have a short amount of time to do it all and you’re definitely going to do some failing but you might as well try to do it the way you dream of doing it.

Sabrina Nelson they’re not giving the OA the promotion it sorely deserves.

What show is she in?

@@AoibheannDoyle-SoulTherapistThe OA she created it.

I agree! I never connected to a series the way I do with this one!

Sad they canceled

I binged it in one sitting haha

There’s a five season plan if it keeps getting up so I’m sure we will learn everything (or most about everything) by the end!

@@Capgungoesbang i looked for that but i cant find anything about 5 seasons confirmed :/ i really hope that is truth

Faustino Zabala I didn’t say they were confirmed, it’s just that’s what they pitched when they came to Netflix and planned for, as long as Netflix keeps picking it up.

@@saierwe Jason Isaacs (HAP) Said that the over the 2 years they were planning the 5 seasons. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KTE0liRcrWc.html When i heard this, I was less angry that it took so damn long to return.

Konrad Santos ive seen the oa season 1 but where can i watch ae?

Sound of My Voice is amazing, too.

@@juliestewart1005 yes, "The Sound of My Voice" is an awesome story.. just mentioned it in MY OP, currently posted above, in the main comments thread. 🙂

Another Earth affected me in a way I could not comprehend and had no concepts or words for to describe at the time... So good! I really want to rewatch it now.

Watch The East too! It's seriously amazing and really makes you think (just like all her stuff does).

Such a shame it was cancelled.

Uh its also ok to take antidepressants. Dont be an authoritarian purist

She said she saw a doctor, but she didn't say what kind. If you visit a surgeon, they'll recommend surgery. If you visit a gastro, they'll recommend a colonoscopy. And if you visit a psychiatrist, they'll recommend psychotropic drugs. That's how the system is built, unfortunately. So if there is something going on in your life that you know is causing you unhappiness and you want to talk through the problem, that would be a reason to see a therapist. Some types of depression require medication and others do not. But you'll never know what you're dealing with unless you discuss it with what SHOULD be the FIRST line of mental health defense: talk therapists/psychologists.

Kate Hochbaum you aren’t paying attention, she didn’t take the prescribed anti depressants, her gut feeling was telling her not to.

Natalie Salajczyk you are wrong. No intelligent wise person would ever take anti depressants. You are just uneducated on the matter. See ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6OAMLR38-AI.html

@@hanniffydinn6019 I'm most definitely paying attention. You, on the other hand, seem to not be able to comprehend basic argument. Did SHE need anti-depressants to deal with her problems? No, she clearly did not. Are anti-depressants over-prescribed due to the way our system functions (as I outlined above)? Absolutely. Does that mean no one ever requires or should use anti-depressants? IT DOES NOT.

You’ll find it! :) i find your experience such as hers super inspiring.

Its mind blowing

The system we have is the best in the world even with its flaws. Could it be better? Yes. Everything can be improved. However the problem is getting people to agree on how to improve it.

@@jimjam2024 i think we agree but it does seem to me most people/organizations don't care to improve it bc they're fine with it simply being the "best system"...

Lenka Pavlásková lmaoooo

SO TRUE!! I LOVE HER TEETH. LOL

The dot killed me 😂

@@grace-lw6lm why? 😀

Yeah, it’s not that easy to quit but there’s a free 2 months cinema course in my city and I’m taking it

same :(
