Ryan Gosling Is a Complicated Heartthrob
Vložit

- When you think of Ryan Gosling, you probably think of the smooth and charming heartthrob that is the handsome lead in sappy romantic dramas. But why do you think that? Because of The Notebook, right? But what else? The Notebook certainly put Gosling on the map, but when it comes down to it, it was a rather isolated role for the Canadian-born actor. Gosling seems to have been typecast after just one “defining” role. With films like Drive, Only God Forgives, Gangster Squad, and Blade Runner 2049, he has actually portrayed more stoic tough guys than romantic leads, especially in the films of Nicolas Winding Refn. And his other “romantic” films actually aren’t all that romantic: Blue Valentine, for example, takes a brutal and scathing view of its central relationship, and we all know about the gut-punch at the end of Damien Chazelle’s La La Land. But regardless of how you view him, one thing is for sure: He remains one of the most versatile and talented actors working today.

I didn't realise how funny he was until I watched the Nice Guys.
Crazy stupid love is also pretty damn hilarious
The Knife Guys is pretty great also
@@KaleLikesWaffles true 😂
If you watch him in interviews too he is hilarious. He is really underrated as a comedic actor I think!
@@programclu1 the ones with Harrison Ford are brilliant
every time I see Ryan Gosling I'm gay
ivan perez Same lol
you're gay in general.Embrace it
My girlfriend still doesn't understand this concept.
I’m only gay when I see Ryan Gosling
gay for gosling👍
I personally think one of the best quality of an actor can be that you can blindly go in to watch his films, not even see the trailer and come out satisfied to death. No matter what the film is, he always brings a stand out performance.
His film choices are excellent. According to me, Ryan Gosling is one of the finest actors working today along with Jake Gyllenhaal. I just wish they both really get more recognition for how great they are.
You mentioned 2 of my favorite actors (of the current generation)...
@@Albanez39 I hope they make a film together...
add Tom Hardy to that list and you have my exact list of favorite actors :)
@@63Meldon Yes, forgot him completed! he's amazing. loved him in "Locke"
Both of those actors are incredible. Gosling in Drive and Blade Runner, and Gyllenhaal in Prisoners and Nightcrawler are just so... wow... I remember finishing those movies speechless
I personally think he’s a great actor
Drive is one of my favorite films
you are not alone
The Goose
Low hanging fruit upvotes
Very insightful dude
Why we love him? because he is INCREDIBLE. Not only a great actor, but a great human being with so much charm, humour and humility. He has the cleanest reputation as a family man, never exploited his heartthrob status or cheated on his GFs, every costar has the nicest things to say about him. Rare combination of qualities in a person.
He's Canadian.

I REALLY want to see Gosling play a villain in a movie. This guy can act anything, but jesus christ would he be a terrifying villain.
I just imagined how he would talk to someone and smile and person he talk with would be terrified of that smile.
He was kind of a villain in Only God Forgives.
Watch All Good Things.
@@k.a.761 I have... wasn't the kind of villain I want him to be though :D
@@culturalartsandpoliticsrev6916 Agreed. All Good Things and Only God Forgives are both villain roles.
Gosling should have been nominated for an Academy for Drive . Such a modern classic !
kushal singh nominated? Winning! His characterization is already classic.
Dude get real, it’s just a dumb ass action flick.
@@domjal it’s really not, I think you should rewatch it with a different mindset. Even if you don’t like it as much as others do it’s still a pretty solid movie
@@domjal PPL dunked on it for not being a dumb action flick fym
@@domjal depends on how you look at it but yeah, i could see it that way.
I dont eat, i dont sleep, i do nothing but think on Gosling.
Drive Lovers understand this
you got me under a spell
I went crazy about him on Drive, he keeps me under his spell
“I was gonna call the cops”
My favorite
" hey you wanna see something? "
My favorite scene and one day hope to have a scene like that in real life with the love of my life and my lil darlins who will see mommie and daddy in a day in life everyday, of love, humor, passion, cheer
Also love to quote Daft Punk

Lars and the real girl
The Believer
Don't forget First Man, Lars, Gangsta Squad, Remember the Titans, Only God Forgives and Entourage! (even though he had a very short cameo in that one!)
First Man!!!!!!!!
Gosling is always great. The movies he pick are also always worth a watch. Drive, The Place Beyond the Pines, and La La Land are some of my all time favorites.
Nice Guys adds up to the my list.
First man?
This video isn’t about Ryan Gosling, it’s about me. (Literally)
I enjoy Ryan Gosling because he's stoic but without coming off as wooden or emotionless.
He must have noticed how other actors get typecast into romcoms after early success in that genre and instantly decided to subvert that in every other movie role he takes.
Right!
Like Leonardo DiCaprio.
@@grommet2795 nah, he right now being typecast as arrogant rich person
Notably, even in films like Drive, he is still in love with this girl (who he doesn’t even know for that long) and goes to extreme lengths to protect her.
I think his persisting heartthrob image (apart from his looks and puppy-dog eyes) comes from not just the typical romance story The Notebook, but the general tendency of him to play roles that don’t betray too far from this “caring and faithful boyfriend” image, regardless of the actual personality of his characters (funny or cool or “bad boy” or silent/tough) and the plot endings.
La La Land doesn’t have a happy ending but c’mon, his character is a hopeless romantic and a complete heartthrob.
You're absolutely right, he has stuck to the "caring and faithful boyfriend" image as a subplot in almost all of his movies including Blue Valentine, Lars and the Real Girl, even 2049 where he was in love with the holographic image/robot, even in Crazy Stupid Love once he fell for Emma Stone
yup
I thought that The Gray Man was interesting because he set himself up as a guardian figure for "the girl", rather than a romantic one. Of course there is a very different tone for the movies where a woman is absent, for example First Man and The Nice Guys, but I thought it was interesting to point out. Astute observation my dude!
He can say it all with his eyes, any emotion. In Drive he and Carey Mulligan are both good at it.
The driver would love a family. The same is true of Luke in "The Place Beyond the Pines".
I don't really think most people see him as the guy from The notebook anymore tbh, I think he is one of the biggest Hollywood stars we got right now. But he totally deservers it, I agree that the three movies you showed are on of his best. Good video keep going!
People see him as a real human bean now
@@shhs1227 And a real hero, hero, hero, hero....
@@shhs1227 Human bean?
@DERPy it's a reference from the soundtrack of Drive
Same, when people mention Ryan Gosling, he is known as Ryan Gosling, not the guy from the notebook.
One of the reasons I respect him as an actor is in how he has a style that seems to almost work its way into every movie he’s in, yet he somehow can make it work with each character he plays to the point that they show very differing personalities inside.
I like most of his movies .. and the fact you mentioned about how they blurred his face is actually interesting, it's like they're telling us there's more of Ryan than just his looks.
Contrary to the popular opinion, he has incredible range as an actor!
MM 1992 no he always gives the same performance. No range.
Because 99% of you eat that shit up that his PR machine creates. He's a horrible actor. I'm the 1%
Hardtechnoboy I think you’re just someone who wants to hate because everyone else likes this guy. He rarely makes a bad movie and he is 100% a great actor.
He’s a great actor but he doesn’t have range
@@hardtechnoboy no, u're just dumb
The thing that seemingly no one realises about what makes him great, which is something that wasn't mentioned in this video either, is that he has perfect timing. Gosling nails the timing with everything he does. Which is also why is can pull off comedy to such a high degree.
I love how he can take on so many characters. Idk his name in blade runner but hes more aggressive yet he remains calm and collected. But in Drive, he takes on a gentle giant kind of character who can snap at any moment. He'll go from stoically standing with a gentle smile (any time he's with his neighbor or her son) to a cold and calculating survivor(motel shootout), to an unhinged killer(elevator fight).
Lars and the Real Girl is an underrated masterpiece.
Whitney King YES!!
Whitney King I agree!
That eye twitch in The Nice Guys is pure comedy gold.
I don't see him as the guy from The Notebook, I see him as a Real Human Bean. And a Real Hero.
Red Raven a real human bean 😂
He’s definitely my favorite actor because of his subtlety but one of my favorite things about him is you never hear about him. I don’t think he’s on social media, he’s never in the news unless it’s for a movie, he doesn’t give political speeches or tell anyone who to vote for. He’s just a normal guy with a cool job who minds his own business. Also he would make the perfect Bruce Wayne/Batman
Ryan gosling is like the 1 heart throb who has some serious acting talent. He was a complex badass in blade runner and drive,he was ridiculously intimidating in only god forgives, incredibly charming in Lala land and I can’t wait to see place beyond the pines.
Finally somebody who agrees with me. He's got a real talent and a diverse reperatoire of films roles he's done, so it's hard too say he's just "a pretty face."
The first Ryan Gosling film I ever watched was The Notebook so after that I always assumed he was a rom-com actor but after I saw Drive, that completely changed my mind about him and ever since then he's my favorite actor working today! He's perfect at playing a silent character expressing his emotion through facial expressions and is always charismatic and cool.
He does it all without saying anything. He says he likes it when it is left up to the viewer what the character is thinking. He has minor bedroom scenes in a lot of his movies that are not romantic, but it isn't needed to put the point across. I love the bedroom scene in "Crazy, Stupid Love" and it is obvious in "La La Land that Sebastian and Mia love each other, but no big physical love scenes. There are bedroom scenes in "Gangster Squad", "The Ides of March" and "Fracture".
He’s fucking awesome. He went from being known for his romantic lead roles, to a silent badass to an absolutely hilarious comic actor, back to a silent (ish) badass. This guy is one of my favourite actors because of how good he is in everything and how much range he has. The Nice Guys is my favourite performance of his ever, but a close second is K in Bladerunner 2049. SPOILER ALERT
He made me care so much about the replicant that doesn’t matter. The replicant that’s just another creature. A replicant that turns out to not be special, yet I cared about K so much. He was the perfect choice for that film
I've only recently really started to love The Goose, after seeing him in La La Land and Blade Runner, I knew he was one of the best actors working
Ryan defines this generation of films, we will remember gosling like our fathers remember harrison ford
He is one of the greatest actors on this earth and perfect casting for Blade Runner 2049. He can say without even saying a thing just through his eyes.
He is such a great actor and has been in so many good films.
Lars and the real girl
Blue valentine
The place beyond the pines
Drive

La la land and the list goes on.
Don't forget The Ides of March and The Believer.
I went into blade runner 2049 having never seen the original, having never seen the trailer, having not seen who was in it and I came out feeling like I watched the best movie of this decade.
He's roles are always bittersweet.
His acting in Blue Valentine was what first got me interested in watching him. Then watched three more movies of him over the years. Something about him fascinated me enough that I decided to watch as many of his movies this year as were available on streaming services. I wasn't disappointed even though I didn't like all movies equally (the Notebook being my least favorite). Jake Gyllenhaal is another such actor for me.
Blue Valentine is one of those movies that's perfect to watch about a month or two after a break up. I still watch it every now and then, and I honestly think that was his best performance in any film. Drive and The Place Beyond The Pines were excellent movies, and he was great in Bladerunner 2. But Blue Valentine just feels so real when watching it. 10/10 movie.
I watched "drive" and OMG IT'S SO UNDERRATED.
Blue Valentine and The place beyond the Pines are some of the masterpiece that deserves more recognition.
You guys should have a why we love playlist, or like, "The Gush" playlist
Everyone needs to watch The Believer. Wasn't mentioned here because it's one of his very early works, but such a great performance and foreshadowed what was to come with his later parts. Also completely lacks to heart-throb factor, which helps ya focus on the acting. 10/10
My fauvorite actor, the goat Gosling
One of the most popular yet somehow most underrated actors. He's fudgin' great.
Waiting for this! Thank you sooo muuuchhhh
And now we have The Gray Man, one of the most enjoyable films of the year. It was incredible.
yadda yadda yadda, most importantly is: he is literally me
I only see Officer KD6-3.7
I only see Driver.
He's an example of someone who picks his roles so well. He is in so many of my favourite films it's crazy. It's like he chooses films for my taste. Basically I love Ryan Gosling.
Beautiful video, drive is absolutely one of my favorite movies, big shoutout to Ryan gosling!
The Believer was the first time I ever saw Ryan gosling. I new for sure he wasn't going anywhere
I only watched The Believer for the first time recently but it left a strong impression on me. Arguably his best acting role.
Love love LOVE this video. Wish I discovered it and your channel sooner!
"The notebook established his heartthrob persona" - he was a heartthrob for me back in the day in Breaker high! :D
my fav actor, I love him so freaking much you have no idea
You hit the nail on the head. My view on him is the same. One of my favourite actors by a long way.
that just goes to show what a great actor he is. he deserves an oscar
this is so true, although I've never seen the notebook I know it would never interest me personally. The first movie I saw him in was Drive (one of my favorite movies) and from there I had a lot of respect for the diverse characters that he plays, I really appreciate the fact that he changes it up when it come to who he is portrayed as. Thanks Fandor!
the place beyond the pines is my fav movie ever, even though he’s only in it for 50 minutes he does an amazing job
He won me over as a fan in Fracture. Loved that movie!
Thank you for this, youve earned yourself a new subscriber
One of the best of of the best.
Ive been going on a Ryan Gosling and Jake gyllenhaal binge during quarantine. Starting Blue Valentine after this video.
THIS. THIS. THIS.
This man is my FAVORITE actor and EVERY TIME I hear people rave about Ryan in The Notebook I wanna flip a table over!!! This man is SO much more!
Thank you for highlighting that!!! 😭
He is one of my favourites
Thank you!
Talk like that about one of my favourites and you've just gained yourself a sub ;)
Great video essay, it's a pity it isn't more popular
Fandor you are the source to my Film Education you giving me in- depth perspective of movie and each character actor and producer work thank you so much 😀😀😀😀
I saw the only show of First Man in Mumbai by myself in a empty theatre at 2 in the afternoon. That's how much I love this guy's acting.
Happy birthday to Ryan
His part in The Nice Guys is severely underrated. The movie is fantastic and so is Gosling in it
I feel like Ryan Gosling's *signature move* is basically him being a loner, ascends and then becomes the hero in the end. Most notably in my favorite movies Blade Runner 2049 and Drive. I like those types of movies, always relating to them, idk why
Talking about a tough guy role but not mentioning The Believer from 2001, when he gave us a fantastic performance like he always do.
My favorite actor,I just watched notebook,what a great film.
totally agree with you!
Crazy, Stupid Love. Drive. Blue Valentine. La La Land. The Nice Guys. Place Beyond the Pines. Blade Runner 2049.
The dude has range. And great script sense.
we love a legend.
awesome video!
Well, he IS a real human being.
Drive and The Place Beyond the Pines are a couple of the best movies ever made
I love him so so much ❤️❤️❤️
i watched drive the other day, what a slick film :)
He is fit in all types of movies 😭😭❤️❤️ Ryan Gosling
He’s so funny in the nice guys
The Nice Guys is not only one of Gosling's best movies imo, it's also just an incredibly well done movie in and of itself. Definitely watch it.
He’s now beyond the notebook and his good looks really though it’s true that the role it’s still one of his most known characters which it’s a shame having far better movies and roles in his filomography but because he is so talented and smart about his career he made sure that being that guy for the notebook doesn’t matter and we’ll keep getting wonderful interesting characters from him because of that, one of my most favorites 💜
Happy birthday!
He's an excellent actor and has been in so many great movies, but if I'd have to pin him down to one film I'd say he's the guy from Drive.
He's the most underrated comedic actor working today. He stole every single scene he was in "The Nice Guys" as well as "The Big Short". His comedic flare reminds me of Gene Wilder.
La La Land, Drive, the Place beyond the pines are all pure art. One of the greatest actors of our time.
The Big Short and The Nice Guys showcased Goslings comedy chops for me, he definitely should do more.
ryan gosling needs to be in more comedies! hes lowkey a great comedy actor.
Gosling is just slaying every role he touches.
Back then I always looked at him like the typical pretty boy type actor okay acting but the looks carries him. That’s as up until very recently, I watched him in blade runner and blue valentine and holy shit. Man one of my favorite actors.
Perfect hero and great man ❤️❤️💕💕
He is literally me
Ryan Gosling is one of the greatest actors today
How can you omit The Believer?
so true
I've been scrolling through the comment section looking for "The Believer". It's an overlooked masterpiece.
Im happy for this video.
