Will.of.Oz (Unexpected Musical) — PattyCake Productions music video

For the third offering in their Unexpected Musicals series, the PattyCake guys got even more ambitious. Combining the club jams of the Black Eyed Peas with the spectacle of The Wizard of Oz required a bigger cast and more locations than their first two videos. Not to mention all the costumes, props, set pieces, and visual effects. But they pulled all of it off with their own unique flair.

Details:

title: Unexpected Musicals – Will.of.Oz

performers: Rachel Copeland (Dorothy); Alexander Browne (Scarecrow / coronor / Winkie guard); E. Michael Evans (Tin Man); Earl Elkins, Jr. (Cowardly Lion); Olivia Adkins (Glinda); Kathy Castellucci (Wicked Witch); Fletcher Wakim (Toto); Eli Jacobson (Lollipop Guild); Annesley Kolb, Kelsey Kolb, & Lilly Kolb (Lullaby League); Charlie Crook, Blanca Rosero, Savannah Simerly, Annabel Rosario, Danielle Peronto, Fred Ramos, Nick Perez, Britt Nicole, Richard Bianco, Polly Pocket, & Jonathan Shane Ferrell (munchkins)

original songs / performers: [0:20] "Let's Get It Started" by the Black Eyed Peas; [1:46] "Don't Phunk with My Heart" by the Black Eyed Peas; [2:10] "Don't Lie" by the Black Eyed Peas; [2:40] "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas; [3:10] "Boom Boom Pow" by the Black Eyed Peas; [3:28] "Scream and Shout" by will.i.am, featuring Britney Spears; [3:54] "The Time (I've Had the Time of My Life)" by the Black Eyed Peas

written by: all songs by William "will.i.am" Adams in collaboration — "Let's Get It Started" with Allan "apl.de.ap" Pineda, Jaime "Taboo" Gomez, Terence Yoshiaki, Michael Fratantuno, & George Pajon, Jr.; "Don't Phunk with My Heart" with Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson, Priese "Printz" Board, George Pajon, Jr., Full Force, Kalyanji–Anandji, & Shyamalal Babu "Indeevar" Rai; "Don't Lie" with Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson, Jaime "Taboo" Gomez, Allan "apl.de.ap" Pineda, Chris Peters, Drew Peters, & Richard "Slick Rick" Walters; "I Gotta Feeling" with Allan "apl.de.ap" Pineda, Jaime "Taboo" Gomez, & Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson, David Guetta, & Frédéric Riesterer; "Boom Boom Pow" with Allan "apl.de.ap" Pineda, Jaime "Taboo" Gomez, & Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson; "Scream and Shout" with Jean Baptiste Kouame, Tula "Tulisa" Contostavlos, & Jef Martens; "The Time (I've Had the Time of My Life)" by John DeNicola, Donald Markowitz, & Franke Previte

arranged by: Tony Wakim & Layne Stein

release date: 5 December 2016

My favorite bits:

the munchkins' various entertaining entrances

Eli recreating the Lollipop Guild's expressions and herky-jerky dance moves

the Scarecrow saying ♫ "lose control of body and soul" ♫ as he's gangling about

the "Ding Dong" instrumental melody playing underneath Dorothy and the Scarecrow's exit

and "If I Only Had…" under the Tin Man's introduction

including the iconic "Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!" as a counterpoint to "Don't Phunk With My Heart"

Earl's fantastic lion growl and melodramatic wailing (and poor little Fletcher getting confused by it)

the lovely harmonized ♫ "no no no no" ♫ section in "Don't Lie"

the bombast of "Boom Boom Pow" being delivered by the illusory visage of Oz the Great and Powerful

Kathy's pitch-perfect Margaret Hamilton witch cackle

the layered melodies in the coda section

all those incredible costumes (Tony was busy!)

Trivia:

According to PattyCake's Instagram teasers, it took 68 yards of fabric to make Glinda's voluminous gown, 2500 hand-stiched sequins to cover each pair of ruby slippers, and 57 pounds of actual tin to make the Tin Man's armor.

The Lullabye League is portrayed by Layne's step-daughters.

Jonathan Shane Ferrell isn't just one of the munchins. He's also one of the artists from Makeup & Creative Arts who provided the incredible character prosthetics.

PattyCake released their first public blooper reel for this project, and it is very fun.

The team at Makeup & Creative Arts released a time lapse prosthetics demo video for their Oz collection a couple years later with Dan Varnum donning the Lion's mane, Kathy Castellucci reprising her Wicked Witch role, Geoff Castellucci going gray silver as the Tin Man, & Paul Kaleka getting stuffed into the Scarecrow's burlap.

Rachel slipped back into Dorothy's gingham dress the following year to play Judy Garland in PattyCake's "La La Land" video.

Tony had performed "Let's Get It Started" many, many times during his decade as Dracula in the "Beetlejuice Graveyard Revue" at Universal Studios.

"Let's Get It Started" was also part of the opening medley for VoicePlay's second episode of The Sing-Off, though not the section the guys were featured in.

Layne had previously created a remix of "I Gotta Feeling" back in 2010 through his studio, Rayne's Room.

Can you connect the German city of Kiel to Diehard please? Thanks

Well the lazy way of doing this is the villain in Die Hard is Hans Gruber who was German and Kiel is in Germany. I could also be like: Oh Bruce Willis was born in Germany and yeah. But I love making things more convoluted than that...

So, we all know that Bruce Willis is in Die Hard, but an even more important role was his role as Tony Amato in one singular episode of Miami Vice, which we all know stars Don Johnson in it, who we all know was in Rian Johnson's movie Knives Out, which we all know. Ok I'll stop, even if this is just for you. You know actually I really wanted to connect this to Knives Out and then to 10 Things I Hate About You or 3rd Rock from the Sun because of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, but I have changed my mind, as it turns out Edward James Olmos is in the same Miami Vice episode as Don Johnson. Okay, so Edward James Olmos is Admiral Adama in Battlestar Galactica, which also stars Michael Hogan, from your favorite TV show ever, Teen Wolf. BUT, he is also in Skyrim as General Tullius. Skyrim also has Christopher Plummer as Arngeir, who was also in Knives Out. But that's not as fun as connecting to Charles Martinet, who was in the Mario movie despite not playing Mario but whatever. Now, as much as I love Charlie Day and want to connect through him, I feel the need to connect through Crisp Rat, but I'm resisting that cause I had a revelation. Charlie Day is in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, starring Danny DeVito, but Kim Whalen was in an episode of that show, and I love Starkid. Corey Dorris is also in Starkid and he was in an episode of Future Man, which has our icon, Josh Hutcherson, who was in Journey to the Centre of the Earth with Brendan Frasier, who was in the Mummy with Rachel Weisz, and she is married to Daniel Craig, bringing us BACK to Knives Out. Am I losing track of the mission?? NO!!!! So, Knives Out has many amazing cast members, but one of the more iconic ones, is Frank Oz. I just realized that my goal was to eventually bring my connection to the Lion King, and I can easily do that now cause Frank Oz is Yoda, but also that's lame cause I wanted to bring it to Matthew Broderick, but let it be known that we could just do Frank Oz to James Earl Jones at this point. So, Frank Oz was in Star Wars with Mark Hamill, who is in many, many things, such as Avatar, which features Dee Bradley Baker as Appa. He is also Perry the Platypus in Phineas and Ferb (for some reason my brain broke and almost wrote Despicable Me). Phineas and Ferb features Thomas Brodie-Sangster, which is always very funny to me, but it also has Ashley Tisdale, who was in the wonderful movie, 2009's Aliens in the Attic. Aliens in the Attic features many people, including Austin Butler, someone who was in the After movies, Tim Meadows, and Andy Richter, who played Mort in Madagascar. Ben Stiller is in Madagascar, who was in Night as the Museum, which has Rami Malek, who was in Bohemian Rhapsody with Joe Mazzello, who is in Jurassic Park (AND a movie called Star Kid). Jeff Goldblum is in Jurassic Park and also in Thor: Ragnarok, which also has Sam Neill in it, but unrelated to the goal at hand. Thor has Chris Hemsworth, who was in 2009's Star Trek, starring Chris Pine, who was in Wonder Woman with Robin Wright, who is in the Princess Bride with Cary Elwes, who was in Psych. Since they are not in the same episode, James Roday Rodriguez is in Psych, and so is Ally Sheedy, who was in War Games with Matthew Broderick.

To answer your question, yes, I came to the official conclusion that I really needed to get on track or this would literally last forever. Crazy how I can get myself to do this and not my homework. Ignore the fact that it took me over a month to respond to your question. Matthew Broderick is Simba in the Lion King, which also features Nathan Lane as Timon. Nathan Lane was in The Nutcracker: The Untold Story, which I know about solely because of Danny Gonzalez. Nathan Lane plays Albert Einstein in this movie, and so, within the lore of the movie, we could accurately state that because Albert Einstein exists within the movie, so does Max Planck, who knew Lise Meitner. I just wanted to say that cause I am aware as to how much you love her. But Max Planck was born in Kiel. Thank you and goodnight.

If I wanted to play this seriously, and not in my convoluted "6" Degrees of Michael Sheen way, probably could've connected Die Hard to Charlie Chaplin somehow, who met Albert Einstein but NO!!

I hope you enjoy this well thought out response, @wiggogwiggogywrath :)

P.S. That point where I was nervous about this going on forever took A LOT of willpower to not continue. Like I was gonna go into the After series and then end up in Harry Potter or some shit. I'm sure I would eventually run into both Smosh and Dropout cause I am addicted. Luckily for you, I was so concentrated at the task at hand, I somehow like forgot that I usually include those too but whatever. There ya go. Bitch.

P.P.S. I just wanted to do this cause now I can't stop please send help oh god oh no I can't stop, can't stop typing why did you do this to me I can't escape

P.P.P.S. Bye :)

Is ciel wearing Burberry during the murder arc?

Does our earl wear brands like Burberry?

Burberry was established in Basingstoke in 1856 (but has its HQ in London), so it was definitely around... even when Grandma P was watchdog. I find it interesting Burberry was established there because I once looked at Basingstoke as a potential area for Phantomhive Manor and its surrounding estate. Even tried to figure out whether St. Michael's Church in Basingstoke could be the reference for the parish church where Vincent and Rachel marry... and where Vicar Rathbone worked as reeve for Vincent -- because Rathbone even mentions St. Michael's Day -- but it doesn't seem to be. I still haven't definitively found the Phantomhive estate on a map of England, but the North Downs area is still promising....

I've also looked at Burberry for being the reference for Grelle's red trench coat, which I think might actually be true. (I think Abberline might be wearing an Aquascutum 🧥.)

You bring up a valid question, here. Is this:

This?

And I do believe the answer is YES. Yana-san has dressed the bunch in it, including Arthur:

And a lot of websites try to pass off similar designs, like these with extra red lines:

But true Burberry has those single red lines, like our earl and the others have donned.

Yana-san is lucky to not get sued for it, since... as I mentioned in the linked post above, Burberry also has licensing in Asia, so the brand might be looking for knockoffs or other trademark infringements there. In the west, Target (among other stores) has been sued over the years by copying the signature check pattern, sometimes even with the single red line. Target is lucky that the lawsuit was dropped after talks. Idk why it was dropped, honestly. ��

Anyway. Yeah.

Of course, in the Kuroverse, it might be that Nina Hopkins has made all sleuthing outfits worn by our earl and anyone else in his household. No telling where she claims to buy the fabrics she uses. 😆

But many fans recognize that iconic check.

Bonus: I searched my blog for "Basingstoke", hoping to find something about my old search for the Phantomhive estate, and lo and behold, the only post that came up was from the murders arc. But it's about Bartitsu... and Arthur accidentally calling it Baritsu. Someone says it's time to go to Basingstoke Bartitsu Irregulars. It's real. 😳😂

Now I'm back to wanting to figure out where the estate must be located.... 😭

Marietta, GA - A Historic Haven with Modern Charms and Vacation Rentals Homes

Nestled just 20 miles northwest of bustling Atlanta, Marietta, GA, is a hidden gem that seamlessly blends rich history with modern vibrancy. This Atlanta suburb is not just a destination; it's a haven for historians, art enthusiasts, and foodies alike. Marietta's charm lies in its five National Register Historic Districts, a historic town square, and a plethora of attractions that make it an ideal retreat.

The streets are lined with beautifully preserved homes, each narrating a story of the past. A must-see is the William Root House, an architectural gem that offers a glimpse into antebellum life.

Brumby Hall, home to the Marietta Gone With the Wind Museum, adds a touch of Hollywood glamour to Marietta's historical allure. Explore the exhibits dedicated to the iconic novel and film, immersing yourself in the world of Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler.

For nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike, the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park provides a unique experience. Hike the trails that once witnessed significant Civil War battles, offering panoramic views and a connection to the past.

And no visit to Marietta would be complete without experiencing the cultural heartbeat of the town at the Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theatre. This beautifully restored venue hosts a variety of performances, from plays to concerts, providing entertainment that resonates with the town's rich history.

Phantom of the Opera — VoicePlay music video

The theater kids of a cappella had such a grand time with their entertaining "Aca Top 10 — Broadway" countdown that they included it in their setlist for the 2015 Sing-Off tour. But even among the silliness, Tony's excerpt of Phantom revealed some serious dramatic chops. VoicePlay rarely record a song in a way it's already been done by a thousand others, though. Layne created a bold take on this classic, haunting ballad.

They'd dipped their toes into the pool of full character costumes with "Survivor" and "Once Upon a Dream", so this was the next step in their journey toward more elaborate productions. And if you're going to tackle one of the most iconic songs in musical theater, you call in your friend who's performed in multiple Broadway shows.

Details:

title: Phantom of the Opera (feat. Rachel Potter)

original performers: Sarah Brightman as Christine Daaé & Michael Crawford as the Phantom in The Phantom of the Opera (1986)

written by: Andrew Lloyd Webber, Charles Hart, Richard Stilgoe, & Mike Batt

arranged by: Layne Stein

release date: 18 November 2015

My favorite bits:

the haunting reverb on the opening section

Rachel's crisp, precise vocalizations

Earl and Eli's staccato harmonies, echoing the lyrics

Layne and Geoff kicking in the dubstep beat

Tony's dramatic entrance and swirling cape toss

the dreamy pink lighting change during the softer verse

the other four guys circling and surrounding Rachel as Tony demands that she "Sing!"

that lingering echo of her final high note

the whole aesthetic — "Intensely bored dilletantes" is a surprisingly good look for them.

the delightfully jarring cut from intense Phantom Tony to casual outro Tony

Trivia:

The guys had previously recorded a portion of this song as part of their "Aca Top 10 — Broadway" medley, which they also performed on the 2015 Sing-Off Tour.

Fans were already hyped for the full version, but VoicePlay built anticipation even more by posting countdown images to their social media.

Talented seamster that he is, Tony made Rachel's incredible flouncy Christine gown.

Tony's skilled cape-ography during his entrance was honed over a decade of playing Dracula in the Beetlejuice Rock and Roll Graveyard Revue at Universal Studios. (Often alongside Geoff, Kathy, and other future VoicePlay and PattyCake collaborators.)

The video description on YouTube includes a note that the set was built by Layne, Tony, and "Geoff's mutilated hand". He slipped and jabbed a screwdriver into his palm during construction. If you watch closely, he's very deliberate about his hand placements to hide and accommodate the wound.

They got a mention on Playbill's website.

The upload on Facebook hit 3 million views in just a month, and 10 million views in less than six months.

This video was nominated for a 2016 CARA in the Best Non-Scholastic Video category.

It was also nominated for the 2017 A Cappella Video Awards in both the Outstanding Costume / Makeup and Best Musical / Soundtrack Video categories, and won the latter.

A high school a cappella group in California performed this arrangement on a float during their homecoming parade the following autumn.

Professional swing dancers Jesse Lopez and Patty Vo used this song for their "superstar show" at the 2017 DC Swing Experience.

Tony busted out his mask and cape again three years later to lurk in the shadows when PattyCake produced "The Phantom Showman" mashup music video for classical singer Fernando Varela.

Hey Glass! I was just watching through some motn videos and realised that some are quite dull and lack chemistry... who do you think has the best chemistry/ makes the song more interesting. Also, I love you blog and could scroll through it for days!

Oh yes, I definitely agree that ‘Music of the Night’ can be quite boring once you’ve watched through, like, a dozen bootlegs of the scene. The song is nice, the blocking is iconic, but it can feel so rigid, and it’s difficult nowadays to find an actor who really makes it his own, or a Christine who functions as more than a living prop throughout it.

But there are some interesting ones! Here are a few recommendations (and when I say “interesting”, I mean they have to do more than sing it prettily):

Michael Crawford / any Christine except Dale Kristien - I can’t not include the OG Phantom! But I am also including him because he elevates the blocking, even if (or maybe because) he was the one to come up with it. With Crawford, every movement is languid, elegant, full of meaning. Most Christines he’s with are fine, there’s not a lot of difference in them, I just don’t recommend Kristien because her acting in that scene gives the Mirror Bride a run for her money.

Davis Gaines / Tracy Shayne - Gaines has an incredible voice, but like I said, I’m not picking people because they sing this song well. Like Crawford, Gaines is the definition of elegance, but in some ways he’s grander, in other ways more sensual, and he’s an expert at the light touch that leaves Christine (and you) wanting more. The one I recommend is his run on Broadway, where both his vocals and acting were at their peak (and where you can actually see him clearly).

Ethan Freeman / Jill Washington - Now for the complete opposite. Ethan Freeman is a socially deficient beetle of a man, and it is reflected in everything he does, particularly his hunched over, scuttling body language and movements. Watching his ‘Music of the Night’ is an exercise in not grabbing Christine and yelling, “Run away now!” His London run is preferred for the intensity of his performance.

Saulo Vasconcelos / Irasema Terrazas - The HANDS Phantom. Nothing else I really need to say; like another Phantom I’ll talk about in a bit, he excels in throwing in all these wonderful, unique details that makes his ‘Music of the Night’ a standout. Watch him in Mexico, where it seems he was given more freedom in the role.

John Owen-Jones / Rachel Barrell - I had to, or people would yell at me. I think JOJ’s ‘Music of the Night’ benefits more in the context of his whole performance. His version of this scene is exquisitely controlled; he is the master of his environment. It makes it all the more shocking when he descends into screaming rage in later scenes. But he does have excellent chemistry with Rachel Barrell, and his interpretation also provides a nice contrast to the next figure...

Earl Carpenter / Rachel Barrell - EARL. Probably the first man I think of when I think of “good ‘Music of the Night’“. Instead of control, he’s unsure; instead of power and commanding presence, he’s vulnerable, he desperately wants to be near Christine but is afraid of her reaction. Every time I watch him, I notice a new detail.

Flemming Enevold / Teresia Bokor - A fascinating Phantom, but one that you might not appreciate on first watch because he’s so subtle. It’s all in the hand movements - a change there, a little detail there - and in the inflections of his voice, where he’ll sing a note just a bit differently, or pause in an unexpected moment. The best way to say this is he kept me awake and interested in the song even though I was watching a blurry, wideshot video of him.

David Shannon / Gina Beck - Okay, most of this is Gina Beck, as David Shannon was unfortunately quite restrained in his performance. Beck is absolutely the opposite of a “living prop” in this scene, reactive, afraid at times then drawn in at others, constantly aware of the scene and hearing every word being said to her. You’ll be watching her more than the Phantom. Definitely see this scene with Shannon; her earlier video was at the very start of her run and she was nowhere near as good.

Jeremy Stolle / Samantha Hill - A Phantom who is restrained but it’s GOOD, another where it’s all in the tiny details. Stolle is utterly controlled in his body movements, holding himself back as if his life depends on it (which, being the Phantom, it probably did at some point), so he pours all his emotions into his singing, his walk, the tiny moments where he will let himself be close to Christine.

Tomas Ambt Kofod / Sibylle Glosted - Another fantastically detailed performance, and this time with an equally well-matched Christine. It’s hard to describe Kofod’s Phantom in this scene; he’s grand, dramatic, yet intensely focused and with a slightly manic edge. Glosted, meanwhile, is completely into the scene, unsure and just a bit shy but enthralled and loving the world he’s showing her. And Kofod’s freakout when Christine faints is amazing.

In stories about growing up for audiences who are growing up themselves, a strong main character is a necessity. Coming-of-age stories have been around for centuries and have always been popular in cinema, from the days of James Dean to the modern world of Netflix originals.

Related: 10 Of The Best Coming Of Age Movies Everyone Needs To See

While there are many elements of coming-of-age movies that work together to create one timeless tale, such as the soundtrack and shooting locations, the key is a lead protagonist with whom the viewer can wholly identify and empathize. Over the years, there have been some truly impressive young actors who nailed this brief and delivered performances that will forever stand out in their careers.

10 Nick Robinson – The Kings Of Summer (2013)

In a modern coming-of-age tale for fans of Stand By Me (1986), Nick Robinson stars as Joe, a teenager frustrated with his father’s micromanagement. To escape his smothering suburban life, he invites his best friend and an unusual new acquaintance to build a house in the woods and live off the land.

With humor as this movie’s crowning glory alongside breathtaking shots of the Midwest, Robinson demonstrates his acting range in an impressive feature film debut. He manages to effortlessly keep up with comedic veterans like Nick Offerman and Marc Evan Jackson but also demonstrates control and solemnity in the movie’s tenser moments.

9 Thomas Mann – Me And Earl And The Dying Girl (2015)

Greg is an unusual choice for a story’s main character, and Thomas Mann captures his socially awkward nature but chameleon-like behavior effortlessly. Although Greg has made it his mission to “remain on low-key good terms” with every student in school, he struggles to see outside of himself until he becomes friends with terminally ill Rachel (Olivia Cooke).

Greg’s development is displayed with as much poise as such a gauche character can be afforded, from seeming emotionally blank to succumbing to grief in Rachel’s room. Opposite Nick Offerman and other great talents in Me And Earl And The Dying Girl, Mann’s comedic delivery, both verbal and physical, is truly something to behold and never wanes.

8 Elliot Page – Juno (2007)

Juno is the blueprint for American Independent cinema, primarily for its Oscar-winning script and unconventional story of teen pregnancy. With a host of celebrated actors surrounding them, Elliot Page shines in what is arguably their most memorable and beloved role.

The offbeat comedy and sarcastic quips of Juno is one for the textbooks, and Elliot carries it with ease from start to finish; the odd vocabulary tossed around rolls as effortlessly as standard English off their tongue. They may appear unimposing in stature, but they dominate every scene with wit and hilarious delivery to make not only an unforgettable movie but a memorable main character.

7 Patrick Fugit – Almost Famous (2000)

Aspiring writer William is something of a wallflower amongst the larger-than-life personalities of the band Stillwater and transfixing roadie Penny Lane (Kate Hudson), but he manages to hold his own and becomes somebody on whom they can all rely. Similarly, Patrick Fugit could have shrunk next to the more experienced actors beside him, but he triumphs.

The fresh-faced actor brings shining optimism and gentleness to a story of wild parties and volatile emotions. He captures William’s level-headed nature and wisdom beyond his years while still exuding the excitement of a newcomer to the rock and roll scene, perfectly balancing youth and innocence with shrewdness and morality.

6 Dustin Hoffman – The Graduate (1967)

A timeless tale of disillusionment in the face of change, The Graduate is fondly remembered for its incredible soundtrack from Simon and Garfunkel and the iconic affair with Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft). Besides that, in a career-launching role, Dustin Hoffman proves his mettle as a force to be reckoned with onscreen.

Despite having an affair with a much older woman (and later falling for her daughter), Benjamin is a graceless and self-conscious leading man, and Nichols cast Hoffman with the belief that he had the perfect demeanor for the role. Between his personality and superb acting ability, Hoffman pulls off a memorable performance and is one of the main reasons why The Graduate has become a classic to stand the test of time.

5 Miles Teller – The Spectacular Now (2013)

To bring to life hard-partying Sutter from Tim Tharp’s novel of the same name, the correct actor was called upon. Miles Teller oozes charm in this role and makes it easy to understand how Sutter has made it through life without a thought for the future since everything comes easily to him at the moment.

Besides being the life of the party and effortlessly sweet, Sutter is a young alcoholic who, below the surface, realizes that he is sabotaging his future, and Teller does a marvelous job of exploring this side to the endearing protagonist. The serious self-deprecation that follows reuniting with his absent father, who is a vision of Sutter’s own future, is relayed masterfully and leaves the audience in awe of his performance.

4 Saoirse Ronan – Lady Bird (2017)

Star Saoirse Ronan had a number of stellar movies under her belt before Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird, with her first Oscar nomination at the age of thirteen only the beginning of an illustrious career. Her range sets her apart from other young actresses in the game, spanning from sci-fi to period drama to raw, coming-of-age movies such as this.

The main character of this tale is anything but meek. Ronan is strong-willed and assured in the role and explores the everyday highs and lows of growing up while cultivating believable onscreen relationships in a way that can place any viewer right alongside her in Sacramento, which feels more like home the longer that you watch her senior year progressing.

3 Greta Gerwig – Frances Ha (2012)

A coming-of-age movie for people who are already of age, Frances Ha chronicles a woman’s journey into adulthood as, while she has technically grown up, it is clear that she’s “not a real person yet”. While most movies of the genre take place in high school, this one takes place in New York as Frances struggles to realize her dream as a dancer, maintain her relationships, and generally get by as a functioning adult.

Related: Greta Gerwig’s 10 Best Movies (According To IMDB)

In another collaboration between Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig, the leading lady fits this character like a glove and harnesses the youthful spirit of teenage coming-of-age movies to prove that growing up doesn’t stop when you leave high school. It is an honest depiction of young adult life in that, really, nobody knows what they are doing.

2 Timothée Chalamet – Call Me By Your Name (2017)

In one of his best movies Call Me By Your Name, Timothée Chalamet stars as young Elio in a story of young love in 1980s Italy. He is both charming and bashful, causing the viewer to fall in love with him even faster than Oliver does, and he manages to convey so much heart and recognizable pain that the extent of his acting ability is never in question.

While Chalamet brilliantly inspires empathy for Elio’s confusion and inner turmoil throughout his relationship with Oliver, his final performance during the credits is a masterclass in understated yet powerful acting, as we watch the cycle of Elio’s heartbreak and are left reeling from his final, heart-rending glance directly into the camera.

1 Logan Lerman – The Perks Of Being A Wallflower (2012)

At only 20 years old, Logan Lerman delivers one of the most honest and moving portrayals of adolescence in modern-day cinema. For an actor who has had widely varying roles, such as a heroic demigod and a plucky rancher’s son, an introverted character like Charlie could have been difficult to embody, but Lerman does so with an awe-inspiring grace.

Lerman’s presentations of depression and trauma are never extravagant; his performance is highly effective using mostly subtle speech and action. He beautifully showcases Charlie’s innocence and love for his friends and keeps a powerful persona waiting behind a meek exterior to offer one of the greatest portrayals of a coming-of-age character that cinema has seen.

Review : Tiger (2021)

I’ve been lucky enough to be born in an era where a handful of athletes have been blessed enough to be some of the best to ever partake in their craft.  From Michael Jordan to Mike Tyson, Wayne Gretzky to Bo Jackson, Joe Montana to Tom Brady, Barry Bonds to Mark McGwire, Serena Williams and so on, some of the most iconic and gifted human individuals have emerged onto the scene, but only a small handful can compare to the sheer dominance, history and potential legacy of Tiger Woods.  As amazing as his accomplishments have been, however, he is certainly not free from controversy, and the HBOMax documentary Tiger attempts to put both sides of this complex individual into an understandable context.

Part one speaks on the rich friendship and unconditional love between Earl, Kultida and Tiger Woods.  Before he was a year old, Tiger Woods had already studied his father’s golf swing intensely enough to mimic it, and with the guiding hand of his father, Tiger Woods went on to blaze trails once considered unthinkable in the world of golf.  As a young Black man in a predominately White sport, Tiger burst onto the amateur scene with three straight wins over three years before turning pro in 1996.  With a multimillion dollar advertising deal with Nike in place, Tiger went on to decimate his competition for years, including winning all four major tournaments in a single year.  With his name firmly placed amongst the legends, Tiger stepped into adulthood poised to be the undisputed darling of the sports world, but as with all great rises, a fall seemed inevitable.  The death of his father made a massive impact on Tiger’s life, and moving forward, things would never be the same.

Part two focuses on the intense scrutiny surrounding Tiger Woods and his extremely private life he kept from the public eye.  As an iconic athlete, pitchman with massive crossover appeal and barrier breaking icon, it was important to him that public perception was positive.  On the surface, his career and marriage to Elin Nordegren seemed like a picture perfect image of the American dream, but as many stories of fame have taught us, even the brightest stars often have dark secrets.  Outside of his loving marriage with his wife and newborn child, the tabloid papers uncovered Tiger’s infidelity streak, Tiger sought personal validation with his newly formed group of military comrades, and the sport that once drove his entire world suddenly began to take a backseat.  With his personal life choices taking a physical toll on his body, his golf game begins to suffer, but with 19 major tournament wins in sight (one more than the legendary Jack Nicklaus), his drive is more fierce than ever.  It seemed as if Tiger Woods’ life had reached a momentum that could not be stopped, but the introduction of Rachel Uchitel sent it down a path that eventually ended in self-destruction.

For a documentary that does not contain any direct interviews with the subject, Tiger is surprisingly insightful, honest and fair in the way it approaches Woods.  His accomplishments are given proper praise and examination, both in terms of the skill it took to achieve them and the context of him as a Black man making the achievements, which makes his incredibly unique story that much more of a Herculean undertaking.  I’m just a hair under five years younger than Tiger Woods, so I remember much of his journey in real time, but the access provided to his life pre-fame is intriguing and telling... his relationship with his father is the dominant element present, but some of the home video footage provided from longtime friend and former confidant Dina Gravell gives us a glimpse at the young kid that existed behind the dominant golf machine we were presented as a viewing public.  It also could have been very easy to go knives out when the story shifts to Tiger’s shortcomings and infidelity, but surprisingly, these topics are handled with as much delicacy as there is honesty, which gives us an equal parts unflinching and unconditional look at an individual with so much weight piled on their shoulders at such a young age that the impact of his compartmentalization as a coping mechanism would not be understandable until decades later.

It is this compartmentalization that stands out as the most intriguing learned aspect from the documentary.  We are told by individuals from all walks of Tiger’s life about his uncanny ability to channel his focus in an almost zen-like manner, so it makes sense that his infidelity, obligations as a public figure and duties as a husband could be compartmentalized in a similar manner.  Those who attacked his character often treated Tiger as if he should be of flawless character and without error, but just like most every other iconic individual robbed of a childhood, the character cracks seem much more drastic than those of the average individual.  On the one hand, it is hard to fathom how one man can portray himself as a top athlete with endless ambition, a loving family man, and a role model for a vast majority of the populous, but once one considers how an individual’s life experiences help guide us through future pitfalls, and we consider the fact that Tiger’s life was overwhelmingly centered around golf well before he was able to form a character, then his downfall is much less surprising and much easier to understand.

Unlike the Michael Jackson documentary, which seemed squarely aimed at destroying that monumental legacy created by the icon of icons, Tiger plays like a confession in hopes of character redemption.  It doesn’t take more than a cursory look to understand that even the people giving damning accounts of Tiger’s actions (or the actions that shaped him during his youth) are extremely protective of him, and despite how they may feel about him as an individual, their love for him shines through.  If anything, the Tiger Woods story can serve as a reminder that no matter how incredible an individual may seem, we must understand that nobody is perfect, and we must be willing to allow those who fall down to pick themselves up without us damning them to a life of shame.

HBO has always been strong in terms of documentary production, and Tiger continues this trend of compelling character studies and stories too unbelievable to be forgotten.  Hopefully, when all is said and done, Tiger’s accomplishments can be taken on their own merit, and his life can be accepted as having the same ups and downs all of us experience.
