The acting range of Andrew Garfield is a sight to behold
Adored him in Dr. Parnassus. I still think despite the masses that his interpretation of Peter Parker was fantastic as well. Still love the other two 😂. I can't wait to see what Garfield performs next.
Omg I agree. He's really something.
If you haven’t seen ‘breathe’, go. Right now.
@@emeral311 I highly recommend "Silence" and "never let me go" and "Boy A"
Incredible! I had no idea.
ugh this film was art. and watching them be so passionate about it EVEN when it took so much time, sweat and tears, is true love towards art and your craft.
Look ♫ Look ♫ Look ♫ 💕 😊 May the ducks heal you 🦆💕
I'm so excited to see this!! In another interview, Lin-Manuel Miranda said that RENT made him want to do theatre and I was SO HAPPY because that is why I went into the theatre arts and I also hope this film brings awareness to Marfans disease ❤
"ugh"?
@@fedora-oldaccount1566 caught that too XD 4 the people that is don't know "ugh: used to express disgust or horror." Oxford languages
@@MarsLonsen language evolves. cry about it
Love how he introduced Vanessa Hudgens as Gabriella Montez. HSM was what got kids into musical theatre the decade before Hamilton did.
🙌❤🥰 what a time
Considering Lin Manuel recorded a parody of Bet on It years ago, HSM definitely meant something to him
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: high school musical is to millennial and gen z what grease is to gen x
Same. Didnt know broadway artists had such a respect for HSM.
@@argella1300 late millennial thanks.
I'm eating up all this 'tick, tick...BOOM!' content like it's a buffet.
sameeeee
Amennn
Me too 😅
SAME PLS
Same
Lin-Manuel Miranda and Andrew Garfield have such great chemistry. What an unexpected pairing, but you can see how much they respect each other.
Indeed.
They're friends for ages so that helped.
I feel like Lin has chemistry with everyone, he looks at everyone he works with like he’s in love with them❤️
And I thank their massage therapist for that. 💖😌
Not to discount the truth of this statement, but has Andrew Garfield ever not had chemistry with someone? My man is universal donor when it comes to chemistry.
2:08 Watching Andrew try not to exist while Lin sings his praises... my heart.
He’s tucking hair that doesn’t exist behind his ears
the hair tuck
That made me smile so hard. Andrew is such a gem of a human being. He's freaking adorable and so talented, he deserves to be praised.
@@Unpoeticirony he was like “oh stop it”😂
Flattery gestures, adorable
I'm becoming convinced Andrew is one of the greatest actors of our generation. He can really do it all. Something about those theatre kids man, he kills it every time. Baby GOAT
look out Tom Brady 😂
Theater kids are build different
this comment makes me feel great to be a theatre kid
Baby hahaha he's 38
@@jenniferlawless3565 lol Baby GOAT as in GOAT in the making
Andrew’s genuine embarrassment at being praised is so precious.
This just proves to me that Lin, is not just a great performer and songwriter, but he is also a very good Director just watching him talk about all the little details that he put in the film. Things that the audience would never know just shows you how much research he does and not only that but how he would talk about how he used the camera. How he knew how important it was to show how many people are there and how Jon would want everyone involved.
and also like giving Garfield the time to prepare for something so out of his skills. It's jus brilliant development
No but that's so true, like he is as much of a theater freak as I am and I love that about him. He puts so much effort in everything, so much detail every time I rewatch any of the musicals I pick up on something else and it's perfect
It really hit me at the end of the movie that they always dedicate Rent to “our friend Jonathan Larson” because this was truly a movie about friendship. I think Lin really did something there.
Andrew Garfield is all over my KZhead recommendation now and I'm not complaining. Get him to do more interviews please 💓
Me too but he’s just gonna be harassed over Spider-Man.
Same, I love him 🥺
Me too, and i am loving it!!
Andrew Garfield doing a musical is not something I dreamed of but certainly something I highly appreciate Update: HE'S NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR FOR THIS, TRULY A GOAT WBK
@@cn1976 he hasn’t been in musicals before this bestie
@@liz-c39 He did. He was in Angels in America
@@machit.5876 I'm pretty sure it isn't a musical
@@amieperkins4933 yeah my bad, was just theater
@@machit.5876 don't worry about it
I love how humble Andrew is about his talent. When LMM compliments him, he turns sheepish.
Right?! It made me smile so hard when Lin was praising him and he tried so hard not to exist. Andrew my dear, you deserve to be praised, you are so talented and and passionate in every project you do. I adore him sm, such a gem of a human being. He truly is amazing. Pun intended.
Andrew has openly admitted he has to keep his ego in check, so I think he's trying to remind himself to stay grounded. Hopefully it's not an act to appear humble when he's not. We may never know but I hope he can develop a healthy sense of his abilities and character. I would rather he be a man of character than talent. It will never fail him.
I like how he turns those moments into jokes now...
As a rent and Johnathan Larson fan.. this movie was a beautiful tribute to him and what he brought into this world. I’m weeping, the things he would have done if he were still here
I've just learnt about Jonothan and seriously can't get enough, because their isn't enough 😫 I also have marfan's syndrome, got my brand new aorta now woohoo! If only the friggin Doctors figured it out when he presented to the hospital! My Dad was adopted so We didn't know either until he dissected, but they figured it out!
And how bout what Jonathan and Lin could have done together.. yeah I think about that all the time
Literally crying. Like a beyond beautiful tribute. 😭😭
I always wonder what he would have created regarding what's going on in the world today 😢😭
This is more than Oscar worthy performance.
oscar nominee
Only a man that devoted his life to music and musicals could have been the perfect choice to direct a movie based on a musical about a man writing a musical Lin-Manuel Miranda essentially gone full meta with his directorial debut (especially in the diner scene) it's really an amazing piece of art
I agree!!! More people as passionate like him should direct movie musicals. I’d love to see him do more.
Saw it last night and enjoyed it. Who.knew Andrew could sing and play a piano. His such an underrated actor
He apparently dedicated a year to vocal and piano lessons to get ready for this role
To be fair, it’s almost certainly a hand double for the piano scenes. It’s not really possible for someone to play piano to the same level as someone who has been playing for their whole lives in just a few months. Andrew Garfield is amazing though
Same. Andrew can sing. Full stop. I was blown away. I literally was like wait Andrew sings? How has he never done musicals professionally? Russell crow did musicals & sucked vocally in les miz. Facts.
He has a whole Tony award LOL
@@ryanl3485 he has a tony for a play he was in. No signing included
I love that Andrew was probably like "okay, you talk, I'll take the marker and just draw stuff" 😂
This was such a great movie and that song is fantastic. I'm not normally a fan of musicals, but when I saw Lin-Manuel's name attached to it, I knew I had to watch it. I'll watch anything he's done.
So really... you're a fan of musicals ;-)
Look ♫ Look ♫ Look ♫ 💕 😊 May the ducks heal you 🦆💕
Same
How can you be a fan of LMM and not be a fan of musicals?
@@hcroussette honestly I'm the same and I'm not sure how, i guess it's just something about the way he does them
andrew garfield really put his whole garfussy into this
Go to jail
@@kob6912 no ❤
The fact that I could only imagine Garfield the cat-
stop
@@graceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee he really did didnt he
I need this kind of deep dive for the whole movie, please
The passion in that room, and that had to exist on that set is otherworldly.
I feel like so much attention was paid to all the little details in this movie, it’s wonderful to see
Same! I need it all
Has Andrew Garfield ever gotten to use his actual accent in any movies 😂 I can't remember any movie he's not American in
Never Let Me Go was a British film with Keira Knightly and Carey Mulligan. Can't remember whether he was British or American in Doctor Parnassus.
In Boy A he used his actual accent
Breath
@@ThouAreAnArt although, that was a rather posh accent, and not his real one.
He used his real accent in Dr.Parnassus
The fact that he said Gabriella Montez and not Vanessa Hudgens is everything
I weeped through the whole movie. It was heartbreaking.
why? i wasnt sad
@@VG-ul5sq do you not know what happened to Jonathan?
@@VG-ul5sq I broke down and ugly cried when Michael tells him he has HIV. The song that comes after, "Why" reminded me a lot of my own best friend.
It actually seems fun. A celebration of someone's life is never sad.
@@weasley2o13 maybe more bittersweet than sad.
Andrew doodling the whole time is soo cute 😂☺️🥰 and Lin is such a sunshine
ive never seen andrew in something that i didn’t enjoy. this man is true genius and he deserves the highest praise
Its really because lmm is right, he cares and throws himself so entirely into anything he works on, its hard not to feel his passion and fall in love with how much he loves his job. Even with spiderman, he is still my favourite spidey by far, and i could care less about the plotholes snd big studio meddling, i was just so enraptured by how much he committed to the character that we inevitably fall in love.
I am 80-year-old music and musical theater lover. I have not seen Miranda's Hamilton, and I must see it now. Andrew is a better actor and musician and musical performer than I would ever have Imagined. He was wonderful and Miranda's direction was genius. These two together have made a superb production and have brought Johnathan Larson alive to me. I will now see Rent for the first time. Miranda and Garfield have made Larson alive to me. I am a musical traditionalist, but Miranda and Garfield have converted me to something new and exciting. I will view "tick, tick...boom" a few times this month I am sure. Thank you Lin-Manuel and Andrew.
hamilton is huge, you should watch it asap.
Don’t forget to also watch RENT. Once Jonathan was told to write what he knew, he came up with that genius! 12 years on Broadway! His untimely death is a tragedy beyond comprehension.
This is the first I've heard of this film, but I'm already blown away by this video!
I think you'll love Hamilton. My suggestion would be to first watch it with the captions on, because it's hard to catch everything they're saying the first time around, but because of Lin's brilliance you'll want to get every word.
Please come back and comment here after you see Hamilton!
The fact Andrew was a musical nerd and Lin made him one with this. I love them so much. And all this behind Johnathans life I’m not crying you are.
is this the return of andrew garfield? cause i’m all for it
Yep! We've entered the Andrew Garfield Resurgence
Andrew Garfield never left.
I never thought much about Andrew Garfield. But he was required to be a quadruple threat here--- sing, dance and act but also portray a man beloved by millions. He hit the ball out of the park. I saw Will Smith in King Richard. Wonderful performance. But I truly think it should go to Garfield.
Oh I didn't know that was Miranda's directorial debut. He's got the gift. I hope he pumps out more movies like this.
I thought In the Heights was?
@@kellyhutchison3064 I think he was only the executive producer for In The Heights. I could be wrong though. That was his training wheels movie to prepare him to be a director, but I could be wrong. I have a bad memory.
@@kellyhutchison3064 he wrote in the heights but did not direct it
While watching the movie I was looking at all the people in the background in every scene wondering who the actor was and how they were significant bc Lin loves that kind of detail. Especially in the diner scene, I didn’t know enough broadway actors to know most of those people but knowing 3 or 4 of them by name and a couple hy faces was enough for me to know how special it was.
I feel you! Specially in that scene I was like "I know I'm missing some references here" lmao he's just that good!
I actually caught a lot of those references, and I was just having a moment for each one. I'm happy it was on Netflix so I could rewatch certain actors and not miss the song or story. Especially for the Sunday in the Diner
I really appreciate that they made this as a film somebody can watch without prior knowledge, but also able to watch and enjoy if you know everything about the film and Jon. I know little to nothing about musical theatre, but I adored this film. I also love knowing just how many details are in one song! It makes me want to know more.
In general, I'm not a musical theater fan. I saw RENT but, knew nothing about Larson. I was into the movie before I realized it was about a real person. I loved the movie on its own. Now, I'm learning more about the man because of this great tribute!
Andrew looks very passionate about this project....and he keeps getting questions about Spider-Man NWH :(
So true. Like people are more than just Superheros. I’m happy that so many people watched this movie tho.
They are so so proud of this movie i'm in tears, they're adorable
i like how they both mention in different interviews how strong this massage therapist is.
These have got to be two of the best guys in Hollywood currently
You mean Broadway
@@Eric_In_SF No
1. Bully maguire 2. Tobey maguire
This film definitely be my no.1 favorite musical film. Andrew Garfield brings so much character into that role.
Seeing Lin's passion for everything he does is honestly so refreshing and beautiful
lin is so proud of himself for casting andrew and you can tell. he took a superhero and make him sing. only lin manuel miranda could do that
andrew garfield. what an absolute gem. i just want to sit down and have a long conversation about life with him
“him finding the song to go along, he charted the path to he able to do that” I LOVE HOW LIN RHYMES UNINTENTIONALLY
The bromance energy between these 2 is truly captivating. I'll watch anything they make together, And I have a distinct feeling this won't be the only thing they do.
Andrew really showed how he is such a well- rounded artist in this movie. I hope that people realize how amazing he is. Also Lin-Manuel, what a legend by now. That’s all. ♥️
Andrew's Larson is so dorky I love it. I had a stupid smile on my face throughout the whole movie
So grateful to see Jonathan Larson remembered and honored so passionately. Such an extraordinary singular human being.
andrew was phenomenal throughout the entire movie but this party scene was the best treat. I couldn't take my eyes off him and his voice was particularly endearing and buttery. like how much talent can be in one man...
This is THE BEST DUO OF 2021! "Tick, Tick...Boom!" is one of the best musicals I've ever seen in my life!
Helo😯😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
The fact that Andrew had barely sung before this movie, is amazing, done seeing how well he did in the movie. The emotion in "Why" is something that takes time and effort, so he's really an amazing actor. This movie is just 👌
It would be sk cool if Netflix releases a "comdntary version" like this, it would probably have 5 hours, but I would watch it at least 10 times
Miranda: breaks down the scene* Andrew: draws doodle
this film is pure magic. rarely do we get to witness such a piece of art. I loved every frame of it. the entire ensemble was so amazing and passionate about it, and it shows
This movie has taken over my household. Everyone singing the songs. Demands to rewatch the movie again and again. We're all in the car..."Put the soundtrack on, Dad!" The film more than delivered on the great source material - it was an absolute transcendent force of nature. I can't get past it. And I truly hope these two guys stay friends and collaborators. This seems like a very good working & personal relationship that has plenty of mileage left.
Andrew is a force in in this film. He's certainly getting an Oscar nomination.
This film was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! I was sobbing by the end it was so moving and Andrew Garfield's performance is mind blowing. Give them ALL THE AWARDS!
Andrew Garfield is seriously incredible and his range is INSANE
The way Lin looks at Andrew, and the way he watches andrew talking about the writing of the movie is just so touching!!
Dude tick tick boom was a masterpiece I love that lin Manuel directed it its like a playwright to playwright unspoken bond type thing.
Id highly recommend this movie if you’re thinking about watching it. I’m not into musicals but Andrew Garfield really surprised me. He has incredible range and after seeing this and Hacksaw Ridge I’d say he is one of the most underrated actors right now.
I love how passionate Lin is, love them
Andrew is a phenomenal actor and should be much bigger than he is
He’s already a household name
Lin actually makes a good stage-to-movie-musical director just because he knows his audience and he knows the actors he should get involved. Even In The Heights, which he didn't direct but I think he was still heavily involved in the creative prodcess and a producer, features more Broadway actors than many movie musicals before. And to have these stage actors and stage icons in this movie instead of the big, bankable Hollywood stars feels very refreshing
I will never understand how people can be so sad that they dislike videos like this. World's greatest mystery
Some sad people
yeah and it's definitely a reminder that no matter how great the content is, there will always be people who'll dislike it and that's okay. The amount of likes shouldn't define us hmmmm 🤔
Leave it to Miranda to use the time given to him to showcase his directorial skill and choices- to continue to honor/ rave about/raise another- Larson and the people in his life... Even sharing this segment with Garfield, what an absolutely passionate giver.. 💝
Lin-Manuel's brain and the different amazing way he sees things is the sexiest thing. One of the greatest we have today
I love how Andrew gets somewhat bashful when someone compliments his acting. Around the 2:16 mark when Lin compliments his performance and he ducks his head. I’ve seen him do it in other interviews too and I love it. :)
let me just say this two men deserve an oscar! every scene was so emotional and constructive for characters and story, i just felt amazing afterwards
at 11:30 when they talk about how the final "yeah-yeah-yeah!" was just the actor, Josh, having fun-- for some reason that stuck in my brain and now it's my favorite part.
I could not love this more!!! Lin Manuel Miranda has been a fave in my house since my kids were little, 20 years now. The New Electric Company is where my family fell in love with him.
4:14 love that he introduced vanessa as gabriela montez! 😆❤️
5:36 Andrew casually drawing the lightbulb facing the wrong direction as Lin talks
i really hope that andrew or the film itself wins an oscar, its so deserved
I love how truly passionate they both are about this movie, and that always makes for an amazing one.
I felt extremely empty, like an empty husk, after watching the movie. It was directed by Lin-Manuel after all, so I knew I can raise my expectations. I also like that he brought Renée and Phillipa to the movie. Welp, time to watch some happy movies to compensate for the unexplained melancholia that I felt.
i loved that too
I actually felt the opposite. The movie reignited my passion for writing and as if whispered in my ears, "Don't give up". I found the movie very very inspiring
Lin is a national treasure. Such talent! Such a wonderful human being. Please give us more things to love!!
Every new thing I learn about this movie blows me away. The amount of detail they've managed to pack into every corner of this movie is amazing. What a piece of art!
this film came to me at the prefect time in my life, im 20, working mornings at a coffee shop, and doing theatre in my spare time definitely not saying im like Jonathan larson, but seeing his story and being able to relate to a lot of it was magical
I next want the making of the making of the making of Rent.
This movie is spectacular on every level. These two really have something to be proud of.
"I was stressed about most scenes but this one in particular" I LOVE HIMMMM
That song gets me to think about the rent Bohemia scene which then makes me want to watch rent and then when I watch rent I want To go back to tick tick boom .. It truly shows the brilliance of this pair and the legacy of John Larson
i love both in different ways, they’re different parts and moments of my life colliding and i’m so happy
haven't seen the movie yet but i'm totally stoked!!!! and i am truly living for this unexpected pairing
Absolutely delightful to be able to hear them speak like this. Thank you to both Vanity Fair and Andrew Garfield, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and all those behind the making of tick, tick... Boom!
lin manuel miranda is one of the most talented people to do in the heights hamilton tick tick boom and moana is amazing
Don't forget Encanto!
Love hearing the details! This scene is so precious.
I would loooove to watch a complete documentary breaking-down the entire movie. I feel like there's so many details I simply didn't catch! Great movie, really a piece of art!
one of the best movies i saw this year , huge respect to andrew
I love them both so much and I never thought I needed them together in a project but now seeing their chemistry and how they complement each other im really happy that they are
Lin did the best job casting Andrew! Loved this film so much
Jee, Spider-Man and Alexander Hamilton together sure is an unexpected crossover.
Hearing the detail they put into set production is amazing
I'd love to have them gave a full commentary on the whole movie
Add art to his skill set for the doodling skills in annotations
Their attention and honor for Jonathan Larson is all the more touching. ❤️❤️❤️
I wish they both get at least an Oscar nomination! The acting and the movie are AMAZING
I feel like I haven't properly seen Lin in so long. What a fantastic video recap of this scene!
A new interview of Andrew Garfield???? Yaaaaas girl give us everything!
I refuse to believe he’s almost 40. I’d married him even with a 20 year age gap 😂
I’m so glad Andrew is getting the respect he has deserved all this time
