IT ENDS WITH US! Freedomain Movie Review
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
All righty, hey, everybody, Stefan Molyneux from Freedom, I hope you're doing well.
So, yes, yes, yes, I took the bullet, maybe you can, maybe you should, maybe you shouldn't, I'd recommend it as a whole, but I went to go and see the movie It Ends With Us with Blake Lively and a guy who basically is Sicilian Harry Connick Jr.
with great abs and a steady though rather broken hand.
And it is the story of breaking the cycle of abuse, something I'm very interested in.
So I went to the movie, fingers crossed, hoping the best.
Acting is good.
Writing is pretty good.
Absolutely unbelievable scenarios.
And to me, it has about the same depth of psychology as a single coat of paint on a soap water bubble.
So what is the story as a whole?
So there's this woman.
See?
Oh, gosh.
I mean, you've seen better.
Naming conventions in Italian soap operas.
So the woman, she's in her late thirties, and she wants to open a flower shop, she wants to open a florist's, and her name is Lily, Bloom, Rose, or something, it's all flower stuff, right?
And then you've got a guy who gets her very excited, very sort of juiced up.
He really riles her up.
And his name is Ryle.
See, because he riles her up.
And then there's another guy, her first love, the guy she lost her virginity to.
And he carries the weight of the world on his shoulders.
And he's kind of bowed down and all of that.
And his name is Atlas, because you can read him like a map.
You get all of this, right?
So the movie starts with Lily, the main character, Blake Lively character.
Her father's dead.
He was the mayor.
And she's got to say five nice things about him at the funeral.
But she doesn't.
And of course, it's because he was an abusive, violent guy who beat up her mother.
Never touched her, apparently.
Beat up her mother.
I think maybe sexually assaulted the mother.
I wasn't entirely sure of that, because I tend not to look directly at that kind of violence as a whole.
So it was pretty ugly, nasty, and bad.
And so then she's up on top of a rooftop in Chicago, apparently Chicago where there's no winter, zero winter, it doesn't happen.
She's up on a roof, sitting on the edge, right on the edge, and then a guy comes in who's tall, dark, brooding, handsome, you can see his abs through A poncho.
And he kicks a chair and he's just really frustrated and upset and angry.
And the conversation, I'm paraphrasing a little bit, the conversation goes something like this.
Hey, I lost my virginity to a homeless guy, says Lily.
And then Ryle, the guy, says, I'd like to have sex with you.
I'm sorry, I wish it were more complicated.
And the dialogue's not terrible, there's some sparkling bits and some clever bits and they're all acting their little hearts out and so on.
But yeah, basically it's like, I'm a woman with no friends, no father, no future, really, but I did have sex with a homeless guy 20 years ago and he's like, well I'm a neurosurgeon, super hot, super wealthy, super high status, super ripped.
And I want to have sex with you, I don't do relationships, I only do lust!
Right, so these are two empty, broken, damaged, messed up people colliding together in cinematic slow motion with Spanx.
So, not a super elevated start to the romance.
So, there's lots of flashbacks to when Lily was a teenager and there was a guy across the street who lived in a boarded up building.
He was homeless and she takes him some food and then they end up having sex.
Because I guess that's courtship these days.
She brings him food and they end up having sex.
And then she's, I don't know, 16 or 17 or something like that.
They're still in high school.
And her violent father, Lily when she was younger, her violent father comes home, catches the homeless guy in bed with his daughter and beats him half to death.
Beats him half to death.
Beats a child half to death.
There's ambulance, hospital, he's got blood all over his face.
I assume that the dad's hands are bloodied and broken and the kid's entrails are all over his house.
But apparently nothing happens.
No, nothing.
He doesn't go to jail, doesn't get charged, there's no assault, attempted murder, there's no... nothing.
Now, maybe it's explained he's the mayor or something like that, but it's never explained how This guy can beat a child half to death and everything's fine.
And then the mother, Lily's mother, who's a sympathetic character throughout the movie, Lily's mother, you see, stays with violent, psycho, rapey, half-child murdering dad.
And no explanation.
Oh, it's just easier to stay.
Why?
I mean, she's barely home anyway.
Maybe she has a job, in which case she has income.
If she doesn't have a job, she's going to be able to take this mayor for all that he's worth.
So why does she stay?
There's only one kid.
She's got nine kids to take care of.
So why does she stay?
Nobody knows.
Doesn't mean anything.
Doesn't get explained.
Other than it was easier to stay.
So what does that mean?
Of course, Blake Lively is a beautiful woman and she's got a great figure.
I think she's had like three or four kids or something like that.
So, you know, aces to her are good for her.
But this is what women need to be turned on.
This is a wild thing for me.
So, I mean, okay, he's brooding, dark, handsome, lots of stubble, and he's ripped like Wheaties.
And so, yeah, good for him.
You know, that's, of course, the inevitable happens or the inevitable is never mentioned, which is that this guy is all muscle, And a hugely wealthy neurosurgeon with a house so perfect it looks like it was designed by an OCD gay man who can't allow one speck of dust to land anywhere.
Everything's perfect.
But he never goes to the gym.
He never exercises.
Everybody drinks like a fish, but they all have perfect skin and perfect figures and all of that, so none of that particularly makes any sense.
But that's just kind of...
The way that it is.
So here's the vanity of the writer.
So there was a writer.
The woman wrote it.
It was a huge selling book.
I'd never heard of it.
It's not really my circle.
So the woman wrote it.
And then another woman adapted it.
I think Ryan Reynolds had a hand during the writer's strike and some of the scene on the, on the rooftop or whatever.
But this is the, this is the vanity.
So she has this, as a teenager, she has this guy who's homeless across the street and He gives her this speech.
She's like, you know, I wasn't, I wasn't in that house because I was kicked out of my mom's house.
So his mom apparently likes sleeping with guys who beat her up.
So he, he, I guess gets in the way or something or tries to stop.
So she kicked him out cause she'd rather get hot sex beat ups or whatever.
Right.
And he says like, I didn't, I didn't move into that place because I was homeless.
I moved into that place to kill myself.
And I'm looking out the window preparing to kill myself.
I look up and there's your face in the light.
And I didn't kill myself because of your face.
Like what a wild thing to think of.
Like how vainglorious are you that your face in a window stops men from killing themselves?
That's pretty wild.
Of course it has to be inevitable.
This is like Bridget Jones Diary 2, 3 or whatever it was, 6, 6, 6, which is something like this.
You can be a single woman in your late 30s and all the hottest, wealthiest, most successful guys in the world are absolutely obsessed with you and will do anything to make you theirs. So the guy who was homeless, he goes
into the... he's a marine for eight years, and then he becomes this amazing restaurateur, and he's
good-looking, fairly ripped, successful, wealthy, runs the hottest restaurant in town, and is
obsessed with Lily. And then neurosurgeon, ripped, tall, dark, and handsome stubblehead is also
obsessed with Lily and would do anything to have her because, you know, that's what happens to
single women with no history of successful relationships in their late 30s. The most top-tier,
successful 1% of 1% of 1% of 1% guys are just completely obsessed with them and will do
anything to make them theirs, to make her Oh my gosh.
Everybody starts their business, nobody knows how.
She starts this florist shop and the inevitable quirky sidekick, like in every women's movie there's the quirky sidekick, and so the quirky sidekick comes in and this is how she gets a job.
So Lily is cleaning up the old dirty place she got a lease to open a florist shop in.
A woman comes in and says, Are you opening a store?
Yes, what is it?
It's a florist.
I hate flowers!
And then she gets a job.
Because apparently that makes sense.
You know, somebody could just phone or email me and say, hey Steph, I hate philosophy.
And I say, yeah, me too.
Let's work together for philosophy.
Anyway, so it's just, so where does she get the money to start this business?
Where does she have, does she have any business experience or any business knowledge?
Her mom doesn't.
She doesn't have any friends.
No one's advising her, but apparently In girl fantasy land, you can just go start a business and it's magic.
It all just works perfectly.
Uh, there's no problem with permits.
Uh, there's no problem with capital.
There's no problem with it.
You don't have to learn accounting software.
You don't have to learn cashflow management.
You just can go and start flower businesses.
Cause this is, you know, this is what writers do.
They just sit down and write and they think that every business is the same way.
It's wild.
It's just wild.
And there's this funny thing, this funny thing, and you know, this is a deep mystery for me with regards to women, so illuminate me ladies or gentlemen if you can.
So, you know, hot, chadly, super-rich Ripped surgeon guy is just dying to sleep with this with Lily, right?
Because that's what super rich, hot surgeons go for is depressed women in their late 30s.
That's just the thing, right?
In the book, I think she was 23, but Blake Lively is like 37 or whatever.
And, you know, she looks it.
No, no hate.
I mean, I look 57 or whatever.
So no hate.
It's just she does.
Right.
And so This is something I don't understand.
It was the same thing I didn't understand about Fifty Shades of Grey.
That apparently, the man wanting you is way sexier than just having sex.
The man wanting you is way sexier than just having sex with him when you finally have sex with him, which is kind of like me being super starving.
I go to the restaurant and the waiter spends like, I don't know, an hour and 10 minutes explaining to me all the specials and I say, no, no, that's enough.
I'm full.
I'm full.
I don't want anything to eat.
I just wanted to hear you describe the anticipation is the whole thing.
And then I get foreplay and anticipation is a good thing.
I'm into foreplay.
I've got a forehead.
It's just the way that it works.
But my gosh, She doesn't appear to have any lust for him.
She doesn't appear to enjoy sex.
She's kind of depressed throughout the whole thing and she has no lust for him.
She never wants to tear his clothes off and all of that.
Now, super surgeon dude turns out to be violent, right?
So he hits her, although it's a bit hazy, it turns out later he did.
He chomps on her clavicle.
He pushes her down a flight of stairs, you know, so he turns out to be a violent Now, secondary gains, you can't.
Women are all perfect.
Nobody, no woman in this movie does anything wrong whatsoever.
They never make a mistake.
They never put a foot wrong.
They never raise their voice.
They never call names.
All they're doing is just heroically and angelically placating all of these volatile men in their lives and environment.
It's just the way, you know, the noble heroic woman nun who doesn't really lust and wants the man for reasons that make no particular sense.
Hey, I'm a sociopath who compulsively lies and I just want to have sex.
I don't want to have a relationship.
Well, he says, and she says, yeah, I fucked a homeless guy and that's how I lost my virginity.
And they're like, sounds great.
Let's, let's make this a classic love story for the ages.
It's just wild.
To me.
It's just wild.
But this... she gets very sort of sexy and excited when he wants her and then she doesn't really seem to enjoy the sex and she never rips his clothes off.
She never gets lusty.
She like... I mean, maybe you put up with bad behavior from a boyfriend.
You know, hot crazy matrix applies both sides of the aisle.
Maybe you put up with...
Uh, bad behavior on the part of a boyfriend because he can just make your toes curl like an Oxford comma and give you 19 orgasms to the dozen.
Okay.
Well, that's not healthy, but at least I can somewhat understand it.
Maybe you have a really mean Kevin Spacey boss, but he pays you ridiculous amounts of money.
So maybe that makes it, well, you can never talk about secondary gains.
The women are just victims.
Because she does this thing.
It's, it's, to me, it's kind of a negative thing.
So she does this thing, he comes home, surgeon guy comes home, and she's on his, she's made dinner, and he hoists her up on the counter, like, in a sexual manner, and she's like, oh, okay, this is what we're doing?
Oh, okay, okay.
And it's just, it's so bland and, and, like, no, like, yeah, right, rip the clothes off or whatever, right?
It's just like, yeah, okay, this is what we're doing?
Oh, okay.
And it's just so vanilla and neutral and passionless.
I got no sense of hunger for him.
And because, you know, hunger for his status, his money, his bod, his sexual, you know, men who sleep with a lot of women can develop skills.
And so she's not like, at least in street cunning, Zaya Stella, is keen for the incredible makeup sex she gets with Stanley Kowalski, right?
So, Stella, you know, the colored lights going round and round.
So, there's none of that.
So, if she's not thirsting for his sex and his bod, then the whole thing doesn't make any sense.
Why would she put up with any bad behavior if there's not anything positive, right?
That's pretty wild.
General message of the movie, of course, is general.
Women are better off without men, and men are more trouble than they're worth, and it doesn't matter if you're a single mother or whatever, your just life is generally better off without men.
There's too much work.
That's a very sort of common thing that happens.
these days.
Her wardrobe is both appalling and ridiculously expensive, where she gets the money for all of this.
Who knows?
There's never any money, there's never any dieting, there's never any exercise, and everybody's wealthy, thin, and ripped.
It is just the way that it is.
So there's, I mean, there's a funny thing that happens as well, which is, you know, the explanation why is surgeon guy violent, right?
Well, uh, so when he first meets Lily on the rooftop, he says, um, oh, I just had a terrible, a kid died on me.
His brother shot him and he died.
They shot him by accident, right?
Little kids.
And it's, oh, I wonder what that's going to do to the brother.
It's going to mess him up for life, says surgeon guy.
So spoiler, spoiler, spoiler.
At the end of the movie, um, he says, uh, uh, she finds out that Surgeon guy was the guy who actually shot his brother.
So what that means is that surgeon guy uses its own personal killing of his brother by accident as a pickup line for depressed women.
I mean, this is about as sour and horrible and sociopathic and negative and ghastly as could conceivably happen.
Well, it's true that I did shoot my brother and kill him when I was a kid.
But maybe I can use that to get laid.
And it's like, whoa, that's just horrendous.
Absolutely horrendous.
Of course, life without men.
I mean, we all know this, right?
Like, oh, men are toxic, men are bad, men are violent and so on.
And therefore, you know, it's better to leave and be without men.
And it's like, OK, but then why did the kids of single mothers have such horrible negative outcomes?
If men are toxic, then the absence of men should improve things.
But it statistically doesn't.
And what does she learn anyway?
What does she learn anyway?
So her father's violent.
Surgeon guy is violent, and then the guy who she's kept in the beta-orbiting wing forever and ever, Amen, the homeless guy she slept with when she was a teenager, he's violent too, because he thinks she's been beaten up, she says it was just a misunderstanding, and so he then physically assaults and screams in the face of surgeon guy, Which is kind of unfair, because he's a trained fighter and warrior.
Surgeon guy is not.
Gotta watch his hands.
And by the way, for a guy who's supposed to take care of his hands, he seems to do all of this ridiculously punchy, throwy, grab hot things, put your hands in broken glass kind of stuff.
It's crazy.
Surgeons take very great... I mean, I take great care of my voice, because that's sort of my thing, so... Anyway.
So, Atlas, the homeless guy she slept with as a teenager, who her father half-killed, He is violent, too, because he misunderstands something and just assaults.
Like, doesn't wait to find out, just assaults.
And, you know, it's all this cliche, no, no, no, wait, I won't understand, you don't understand, it's not the way.
And everyone's just volatile and reactive and just kind of low IQ and all of that kind of stuff.
So he's a violent guy anyway.
Nothing particular changes because of that down the road.
Ryle has no family other than his sister, no parents or anything like that, so that's lazy writing.
You're going to talk about the cycle of violence, you have to talk about his parents, because Lily gets to talk about her dad, but apparently Kyle is the author of his own misfortune by shooting his brother as a kid and all that kind of stuff, so that's not good.
Now, Ryle, of course, surgeon guy, is pathologically jealous and suspicious and all of that.
And that's because he's, you know, a fairly literal piece of human garbage who uses the story, who transposes the story of him killing his brother to get women's legs open and sympathies flowing and other things flowing, I suppose.
And so he progressively feels more and more unloved and feels that she's got to leave him because he's just terrible.
He's like one of the worst characters I've seen in a long, long time.
And we're supposed to feel like this is, you know, some great hot guy or anything like that.
It's just monstrous, right?
And also, Lily has to go through all this absolutely terrible stuff.
He has to go through this terrible, terrible stuff in order to begin healing the cycle of abuse.
And she had a comfortable home, a loving mother, and a violent father, no question.
Terrible.
He never hit her.
But Atlas, the homeless kid, his mother kicks him out because His mother's boyfriends assault her, sexually assault her we assume, and beat him up.
So he's homeless, violence is directly against him, and so on, and he's fine.
He doesn't need to go to therapy, never mentions therapy, doesn't go through any healing process, just comes out of the army, because Lord knows mental health is much served by, you know, killing people in the desert for eight years.
So, he comes back and he's a great restaurateur, he's a great chef, he's a great business owner, a great leader, everything's fine, he's loving, he's caring, he's thoughtful, he's sentimental, he knows the right things to say, as does surgeon guy, despite having no experience in relationships, which is completely unbelievable.
So, how does he heal?
How does he get better from his crazy trauma?
Well, there's never any explanation for any of that.
He's just perfect.
And, you know, what kind of woman is it?
So, by the end of the movie, she's almost 40, right?
She's pushing 40, and she had sex with Atlas, homeless guy, when she was like, I don't know, 16, 17, maybe 18, probably 17, because 18, you're out of high school any of these days.
So, it's been almost a quarter century, and she's like, but he's still here for me.
I can pursue the bad boy, and then the nice guy, 23 years later, is just ready and is going to take on me, and he's going to take on a single mom with a kid by a violent, wealthy sociopath who hates him.
And can make her life legal hell for years.
Yeah, he's going to sign up for that.
Because Lord knows, really hot, successful, wealthy restauranteurs are just looking for single moms with psycho, violent, wealthy exes who hate their guts.
Yeah, that's just going to be a great life.
But it doesn't matter what the man wants, it's what she needs is the only thing that matters.
And the other thing too, the mother is portrayed sympathetically, but Lily says basically, if I stay, I'm a bad mother, but then her mother stayed, but is apparently a good mother, and even though her mother stayed, not only when she was being sexually assaulted or raped maybe, but also being beaten half to death, and then her husband beats a young boy, a boy, a young man, half to death, and she stays with him anyway, but apparently having the mom around, Lily's mom around, who stayed with this And also there's no talk about history.
It's totally fine to raise your kids, totally fine to raise Lily's kids, it's a wonderful thing that she's there.
It's just wild.
It's absolutely wild.
And so...
And also there's no talk about history.
People don't talk about their childhoods, they don't talk about their past, they just
gaze into each other's eyes and fondle each other's dimpled asses.
You know, not that there's anything wrong with that, that sounds like a
good Tuesday night, but
nobody says, oh yeah, no, my parents were abusive, and nobody says, gee, why are you
single? A beautiful woman single in your late thirties.
That must be something that's going on here.
You know, a heart surgeon has never settled down, why not?
And of course...
.
Hot Surgeon Guy's Ryle's sister is Lily's best friend, works in the flower shop, never mentions, by the by, never mentions that her brother killed someone.
Never comes up, never mentions.
And it's like, what?
How is that a thing?
How is that possible that nobody ever talks about anything?
So, yeah, it is really just appalling.
Also, this Lily, as a teenager, she sees this homeless guy.
Her dad's literally the mayor.
I think he's the mayor, right?
And her dad can't help this because there's no social services.
Like, the woman who wrote this book was originally a social services worker, and so She knows that there's tons of social services available for kids who are kicked out because their mother dates abusive people, so why can't she just, instead of getting him food and having sex with him, why doesn't she actually get him some help?
Well, apparently that's not a thing that...
Uh, that happens and that's really, really, really sad and, and doesn't make a lot of sense.
Oh, there's another thing too.
Remember, surgeon guy, uh, doesn't take care of, punching, throwing things, grabbing things, doesn't take care of his hands at all.
So then he's got this crazy 27 hour surgery and the day before he, you know, slashes his hand half to the bone on broken glass and burns the crap out of it, grabbing white hot things out of the stove.
So his hand is gashed, slashed and burnt.
But he just goes ahead and does the surgery anyway.
I mean, no sense.
Makes no sense whatsoever.
How could this possibly happen?
Can you imagine the liability?
You're doing a delicate surgery, someone dies, and then they find out that your hand was gashed half to the bone and burnt to shit, and you went ahead and did the surgery anyway.
You'd never be cleared for surgery.
My uncle fainted once or passed out once for 10 seconds landing a plane was never allowed to fly again.
You think you'd be cleared for surgery with your hand in a broken bloody burnt paw where you lost mobility and sense of touch and oh my god just phone a doctor and phone a surgeon and say would you be allowed to operate in this way and they would of course they would say yeah they would say no but so it's just that level of uh eyes rolling like a vegas slot machine unreality that it just makes the movie pretty hard to to follow.
Yeah, it's crazy.
How do you beat up a kid and face no consequences and so on.
Yeah, it's very sad.
And the degree of delusion is just wild.
You base your relationship based on lust, which isn't even really lust, and you don't talk about your history, nobody talks about how messed up they are, nobody gets any psychological help, and you just pound your way through things, get pregnant, but then super hot restaurateur, wealthy guy from your past will just come and scoop you up at the end of all of this and take in you and your Deal with your psycho ex-husband and raise your kid, you know?
The man who can heal the heart he didn't break and raise the child he didn't make.
It's like that's... She'll have no respect for him.
He's a cuck and a simp and that's really, really sad.
And holding this hope out is really, really terrible.
And she mentions this once, right?
She mentions, oh, I've got all the clock ticking stuff and all of that.
I'm going to have kids.
I want to have kids and all of that.
Oh, and this narcissistic surgeon guy, when his sister has just given birth, he decides to make it all about himself and propose to.
Lily and, oh gosh, it's just absolutely wretched, and Lily's, sorry, surgeon guy's sister has a husband who's Indian, who's like this great husband and this perfect guy, because Lord knows that, you know, India as a whole is a culture that truly respects women and, you know, just the most wonderful husbands in the known universe, everyone knows that, and that's just the kind of Stuff that you see these days almost without fault and without pause.
So, you know, overall, I think it's worth watching the movie, as long as you're kind of aware of the sort of relentless propaganda.
But look for this sort of soulless lack of desire for the men that is.
And this would actually kind of make sense in a way, because a woman who's, you know, pushing 40, who's Been passed up and down like the duchy on the left hand side.
You know, she's probably lost her pair bonding.
She's just kind of depressed and she's depressed about being good looking because she knows that's the only value she brings to the table.
She doesn't do much to help him, her husband, she doesn't, or boyfriend, she doesn't do much to support him.
She doesn't really run his household.
She's just there and is attractive.
And that's, you know, really kind of depressing.
So look for that lack of love.
Look for the fact that women never do anything wrong.
Never do anything wrong.
It's always just the man and his history and his problems and his pathology and his issues.
Because she never raises her voice.
In the book, when he cuts and gashes his hand, one of the reasons he hits her is because she's laughing at him, which is, you know, you don't hit anyone for that, but you can understand how that might sting a vainglorious man, a narcissistic man.
But she never, she's absolutely perfect.
She can't explore, nobody can explore the dark side of female nature in movies.
Nobody can explore secondary gains.
Why is she there?
Right?
Is it for the money?
Is it for the status?
Is it for the sex?
Why does she put up with this stuff, right?
Well, it's just because of her.
So she can't take responsibility even though she's pushing 40 because it's all the fault of her father and what happened, you know, 25 to 35 years ago, right?
It's all the fault of her father.
She has no agency.
And so she has no agency.
She's a victim.
He's a bad actor.
Her mother, even though she stayed with the guy who beat it, a kid half to death is fine and wonderful and she can't
think of anything nice to say, the Lily, the main character, can't think of anything nice
to say about her mother, then she says, her father, sorry, she can't think of anything nice
to say about her father, she's got five things.
She can't think of one.
And then she says, when her mother says, I loved him.
And Lily then says, me too.
Is that lying?
She's lying to her mother about loving her father.
Is she telling the truth?
But then at the end, she still can't think of anything nice about her father.
So, um, I mean, I like the speech.
I really do like the speech that she gives in the movie to her husband when after the baby's born, she realized she's got to leave him.
And she says, you know, so this is your daughter.
And who, by the way, just this is kind of weird to me.
So surgeon guy shot his own brother, killed him when surgeon guy was a little kid.
And then his wife says, I've named your daughter after the brother you killed.
And he's like, Oh, that's the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me.
And I'm like, What?
That's insane.
So every time you say your daughter's name, because it's a, I guess, a sort of gender neutral name.
So then every time you're reminded of the brother you killed, it's every single time you just PTSD never ends.
Your brother, your brother's death is now resurrected in your daughter's name.
That's mental.
I mean, it's honestly, I don't even know what to say how bizarre and disturbed.
That is a sort of beyond mental, really.
