  • In this video essay we dive into Timothee Chalamet and the incredible career he has been able to have up until this point. I wanted to talk about how Timothee Chalamet has changed hollywood forever and how Timothee Chalamet is the perfect face for this generation, he truly embodies the cultural shift society is going through. from Call Me By Your Name to Dune Timothee Chalamet has never failed to disappoint in showcasing his incredible emotional range as an actor. Timothee Chalamet's next movie Bones and All comes out in september and many people are excited to see what he will do in that one.

    Adam Driver is another interesting one. Not necessarily an antithesis to TC, but parallel to that. Manly, unconventionally attractive, repressed and emotionally explosive.

    No hate, but people thinking TC is a new portrayal of masculinity on screen are wrong. Early Leonardo DiCaprio (and maybe Johnny Depp?) had the similar commentary but as they grow and transition from young teen to grown adult they meet the “traditional” masculinity.
    For me, TC filmography is brilliant but the real test will be when he does the transition and how?

      I was waiting for this comment. I’m not a fan of his. In fact, Dune reminded me of LOTR where I loved all the supporting characters but thr so called lead (Frodo) bugged me. Same thing happened with Dune. I also heard a rumor that he was one of those guys in high school (he was breaking into Hollywood pretty much right when he graduated) that made fun of girls for their weight/appearance. While I would hate to be held accountable for the idiot I was in High School, I thought current HS kids would have been schooled on bullying etc.
      I’ll admit when I saw this video, I hate watched it bc if he’s the new normal in Hollywood, then it’s same old same old with Hollywood letting me down.

    As much as I love Timothée Chalamet and his amazing career, I must confess I’m finding your theory too simplistic and somehow inaccurate.
    You’re disregarding the rise of a Johnny Depp alongside Tom Cruise, for example. Hollywood has always have enough room for muscular guys like The Rock and quirky indie darlings like Adam Driver. There has always been room for a Keanu Reeves and a Christian Bale sharing the spotlight with Vin Diesel and Hugh Jackman.
    I am not questioning the impressive acting abilities and talent of Timothée Chalamet. I just don’t think his rise to fame is because he represents this generation or for his willingness to show his softer and vulnerable side. In fact, all the actors I’ve mentioned have also been able to portray vulnerability with great success.

      One actor comes to my mind - Brad Pitt. Sure he was buff and handsome, but his rise had more to do with his ability to express emotion (Legends of the Fall, Interview with a Vampire, Seven, etc) than with his physique or an ability to do stereotypically manly action scenes.
      Personally I think when somebody comes along who can well and truly act (not just look handsome and follow direction), such as the likes of James Dean and Robert De Niro that was mentioned in the video, then an audience notices and pays attention, irrelevant of their looks. In fact, I'd say the admiration for their skill and ability makes them perceived as more attractive to the audience than they would otherwise.

    Hes a great actor but then again he comes of a line of actors like River Phoenix, Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, and even James Dean. All very vulnerable and mostly have gotten roles against the archetype of very macho the stars or characters. DiCaprio, before Titanic, also sought out more challenging character based films rather than big budget fairs. But I’m happy and excited whenever I see Chalamet’s work. Hes a great actor and his technique is so intriguing and real. Hes a great addition and extension to the sort of actors I just mentioned. In a way, hes the best of his generation and leading the new batch of male actors.

    I remember a time when Hollywood tried making Ansel Elgort the next big thing in acting. And to his credit Elgort did embody the traits of what you would expect in a typical Hollywood leading man. He is handsome, tall and muscular and certainly had a lot of personal charm and charisma. However I think he lacks that X factor Timmy has that makes him not only stand out but also very compelling to watch and relate to. With his breakout role The Fault in Our Stars, it did seem like had attempted to capitalise on the cultural shift of playing "sensitive men", but just didn't have the raw talent of Timothee to give memorable performances with layers and depth.

    The thing i like the most about his acting is how natural and immersive it is. He has an easiness - that's how we perceive it, cause he definitely puts a lot of work into it -that totally grabs you and feel every emotion he's feeling. I watched Bones and All at the Venice Film Festival and ofc, i knew he was in it and he has so much star power nowadays that when he appeared on screen, i was like, 'oh, there he is, Timothee'. But in the next second you totally forget it's him on screen and all you see it's his character. And i was thinking afterwards, this man did a movie like Bones And All (exceptional movie btw) and a couple of months later jumped into Wonka. He has some crazy range and i love how he's one of the very few young actors who became famous thanks to his acting, not a former Disney child, not being part of MCU, not a pop star.

    While Timothee Chalamet is a world class actor, he has not altered the landscape of leading men. Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp rose to fame by playing emotional and sensitive characters. Part of Johnny Depp’s downfall was that his acting became a parody of itself, once he started doing blockbusters. While actors, such as Colin Farrell and Jude Law, lament that Hollywood tried molding them into the stereotypical “leading man” early in their careers.
    As for Timothee Chalamet’s height…. he is 5’10”, which is considered tall. Thus, significantly taller than the likes of Tom Cruise. Meaning, it is very understandable how Timothee Calamet was cast in “Dune” and “Wonka”. At the end of the day, he has become successful due to his talent. It also does not hurt that he is tall and handsome.

    @oisinmckenna1054 Před rokem +5

    I think there are good points here that relate to changing shifts in attitudes to masculinity at large but I think a lot of the points, and their subsequent commenters jumping at them, are wrong. To say he's the greatest of his generation is kind of a cop-out as he's relatively young. If they don't already have agents and contacts and have been hustling for close to a decade then A lot of the 18-25 bracket are yet to even finish their studies at university and perhaps haven't even fully committed to the career yet. For reference, Johnathan Majors only wrapped up his education at the Yale school of drama at 27, likewise, Meryl Streep was 26 when she graduated from the same institution. For reference I'm not a forty-something trying to convince myself it's not too late to chase the dream, I'm 22 and currently studying for my master's in acting at RADA in the UK. So this comes from a genuine place of love for the art and industry. I say this with an appreciation for Chalamet's contributions to the field and admiration for his career so far, but there is so much more yet to be seen. Acting is by far the most elusive of the art forms and as such to quote the late great Philip Seymour Hoffman (my personal hero) "is not something you just get good at and stay good at" - it's a lifelong affair that exacts a toll as in all relationships. It will be interesting to see how Timothee makes the inevitable transition from essentially boyish adolescent roles to more adult-based characters. Seeing him one day play say a young father will be interesting. But I also add that the works yet to be made are an equally exciting prospect. I'm lucky that I know many talented young people across many different fields who I have no doubt will go on to forge fantastic careers, if you too know these people, age regardless, be excited for them the way you are for Chalamet. That may sound contrived and shallow perhaps even facetious - but it could be the difference between them writing that screenplay and just packing it in for that job their uncle offered them at the family business. Between them going for that meeting, subbing for that agent, taping for that show, and slowly allowing their vision to crumble like a forgotten fresco. Raise them up and so too will they raise you.

    The reason timothee chalamet is so popular is not because he plays characters who are "emotionally unstable," it is because he is a good actor. Being emotionally open isn't better than controlling your emotions, which a man should be able to do. Also, the reason Paul Atredies is less stoic is because he is still a boy, and was written like that in the book, not because of a "cultural shift."

    River Phoenix also belongs in the lineage linking James Dean to Timothée Chalamet, though there's no knowing what direction he would have taken. I can't picture Phoenix as a John Wick sort of character any more than I can TC, but I wouldn't have guessed Keanu Reeves would become a symbol of vengeance like Wick either. Adam Driver as Wick, yes. He's very pro heroic masculinity, as his support of the armed forces shows.

In 1990 the town, primarily Protestant, was collectively honoured as the Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem in Israel for saving Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe.

    It also changed because we no longer look for a ladder when it comes to partners , people don’t want that overly-masculine boyfriend that gets jealous and behaves like a bodyguard , we look for human connections , we look for closure , not limited to romantic relationships , and being emotionally available and being fine with being a human being help with that which men has never been allowed to do , so this is a huge shift for men , especially around the globe , I was born and raised in a “traditional “ country and I’ve always been left out and seen as “other “ even got called slurs and names because I don’t read as a overly-animalistic masculine , and have been more emotionally open and ready for a connection , this is refreshing , even though things aren’t gonna change much in where I’m from , this will open the door

    Whilst Timothy is a skilled actor, would others agree this idea that he’ll change the male stereotype in Hollywood might be a fad? He seems to be different for his lack of physicality and youth but remember he is also rather handsome and there had to be a reason why he was selected for various roles which would get him onto the Hollywood mainstream casting choices other than his performance.
    This might be the beginning of what you describe in effect as a cultural phenomenon. It may also just be a matter of a more relatable actor coming into the screen perhaps representing the most active and lively generation of the day.

    • @ChienaAvtzon
      @ChienaAvtzon Před rokem

      Of course, it is a fad. Young actors playing emotional characters has always been the norm. Gen Zers just do not understand that film existed befor the year 2000. Brad Pitt, despite being tall and handsome, is actually a character actor. Rather than a traditional leading man. Johnny Depp used to be one of the greatest actors, before becoming a parody of himself. Leonardo DiCaprio was a teen heartthrob. Heck, Christian Bale portrayed Laurie in “Little Women”. Timothee Chalamet is no different. Plus, contrary to what the video claims, he is actually fairly tall.

      What the original commenter was pointing out is that famous Hollywood leading men are almost always white and heterosexual, and the biggest, most influential and highest paid stars in Hollywood are usually white heterosexual men.
      Even in the beginning of this video when this youtuber was listing the biggest, most influential stars that have had the biggest impact on the film industry (Robert deniro, Leo DiCaprio, tom cruise etc), they were all white men. Obviously there is nothing wrong with having famous straight white male actors, but it’s pretty obvious that there tends to be far more opportunities available in the industry for those sort of actors over other actors, which we should work on changing.
