Transcripts
the movie it ends with us starring Blake
Lively and Justin baldoni was released
this week and there's been tons of drama
surrounding it as people feel like
there's some drama between the two of
them from how the film is being promoted
to what is in the movie I mean there's
just so much currently being said about
it ends with us I went to go see the
movie last night because I just wanted
to see what was actually in the movie
versus how they're actually promoting it
I feel like they're really pushing it as
this romcom all of the promo has felt
very Bridger to to me and if you know
what this movie and or if you read the
book and know what it is about it is far
from a romcom so before I talked about
it I definitely wanted to just see for
myself what the movie was going to be if
it was going to be similar to the book
because seriously the way that they have
been promoting it has been giving like
silly cute fun romance and the movie is
so dark and so heavy so we are going to
get into everything surrounding this
movie Justin Balon got the rights to it
ends with back in 2019 and directed this
film and last January Blake Lively was
announced as part of the cast and she is
also a producer on the film now in terms
of the lead actors in the film it's the
biggest drama right now as people want
to know what happened and why they
aren't doing press together there had
been some online drama as the movie was
being shot as some people did have some
things to say after the cast was
announced and as photos from set were
released showing some of the wardrobe
choices in the film as some just hadn't
exactly dreamed the main character Lily
to be what they were seeing being filmed
but nobody had ever thought there would
be drama going on within the cast but
fans are almost certain something must
have gone down because Justin has not
been doing press with any of the other
cast members the crazy thing is that
everything seemed fine back in May him
and Colleen were arm in-arm doing some
press for the movie together and then
all of a sudden things changed so people
are wondering you know what's kind of
gone on behind the scenes before this
movie actually premiered to lead us to
this place where the cast is not
associating with him and he is not
taking any pictures with them they are
not taking any pictures with him and it
just seems like a mess and the fact that
there is supposed to be a sequel to this
movie you guys there is supposed to be
another one and he is supposed to be in
this movie and if they cannot get along
fans are worried the main players in the
cast do not follow him on Instagram
Colleen Hoover who gave him the rights
to make the movie doesn't even follow
him he does however follow Blake Colleen
and some of the other cast but people
have just found it weird that they don't
follow him and people have just found it
weird that the leads of this film had
not been photographed together or doing
interviews since usually that is exactly
what happens when doing a press tour
there was a period in time where Justin
was hospitalized but after that period
of time he still did not do any press
with the cast and obviously at the
premiere they were all there but he
wasn't pictured with anyone so everyone
has just been like what is going on like
there is clearly something going down
the internet grew even more curious
about some potential drama after Jenny s
was asked about what it was like being
seen partners with Justin and people
just felt like she tried super hard to
avoid answering the question making it a
little suspicious talk to me what was
that like having him be director but
also scene partner I mean what an
intense job like like to have to do so
many things I just found myself being
like wow this I really just want to have
one job at once like I and and in fact
I've often felt that way like I really
like writing and I like it so much and
it's special to be able to be a writer
but like yeah I was looking around just
being like I'm good with just acting I I
really I I love it I just want to do it
I feel like I've only at the premiere of
the film Blake revealed E news that her
husband Ryan Reynolds wrote the rooftop
scene of the movie people then began to
speculate that maybe there were some
creative differences between Blake and
Justin while filming and that Blake was
maybe taking over the project and Justin
didn't like that Blake was quoted saying
the iconic rooftop scene my husband
actually wrote it Blake exclusively told
e at the it ends with us Premiere in New
York City August 6th nobody knows that
but you now and the chance to work
together is something she and Ryan
cherish with Blake adding we help each
other he works on everything I do she
shares I work on everything he does so
his wins his celebrations are mine and
mine are his people then began to bring
up the promotion for the film as it's
been mixed with Deadpool and Wolverine
as the film came out a week prior to it
ends with us and obviously Blake's
husband is in the film Blake had a photo
op at the premiere for it ends with us
with both Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman
which people noted was interesting just
given the seriousness of it ends with us
to bring Deadpool and Wolverine into it
was a bit odd and for those who don't
know the movie it ends with us is a
movie about DV there are extremely
triggering scenes in this movie it is
not an easy watch it is uncomfortable at
times but online this is how they've
been promoting the film on their Tik Tok
account sharing videos of fan reactions
to the movie and it doesn't sound like
the movie is as serious as it is it's
fun it's romance there's hot guys
there's hot girls like there's sobbing
there's crying there's love there's like
it's it's got everything that you want
people in the comments were even like
did they just see the right movie
because there is no way and people have
been praising the fact that Justin
baloni has been actively talking about
the hard parts of this film in nearly
every promo he has done for the movie
what do you want men to take away from
this
film I want
Men first of all I want men to stop
asking the question why do women stay
yeah right I want men to take
accountability I want men to hold other
men accountable and in this particular
film I want men to go to the theater and
uh in in some way see a version of
themselves um you know you have two very
different characters both of them in
Atlas and riy have had past trauma one
handles it very different than the other
and my other hope is that the men who
have not done the work who have not done
the work to heal if they see bits of
themselves in Riley have a chance to
step back and say you know what I don't
want to blow up my life I don't want to
hurt the person I love the most I need
to get help I need to feel all these
things that I've buried so deep down so
that it doesn't explode on somebody that
I love people have said it seems as
though everyone else a part of this
movie haven't promoted it in the same
way and have seemingly glossed over the
fact that the movie does have these hard
scenes in it fans had praised Justin in
the comments of his interviews writing
seems like Justin is the only cast
member actually raising awareness to the
whole point of the book very grateful
someone is handling the press tour with
the gravity the subject material
deserves why is he the only one talking
about the message love him this is how
you promote this kind of film Justin had
also been interviewed talking highly of
Blake still despite the fact that people
felt there was the drama just tell me
what it was like also uh collaborating
with BL oh she's a she's a creative
Force she's a genius every she was
involved in every aspect of this
production and everything she touched
she made better This Is Your Night
Mister no this this isn't my night this
isn't night for all the women who we
made this movie for this is a night for
Blake this is a night for Colleen I'm
just I'm just so grateful that we're
here 5 years in the making but on
Thursday The Hollywood Reporter cited
two unnamed sources who allegedly
confirmed there were in fact creative
differences between Blake and Justin
claiming that there had been competing
Cuts made of the film in post-
production The Hollywood Reporter wrote
sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that
there was a fracture among the
filmmakers in the post- production
process wherein two different different
cuts of the movie emerged Lively however
did have a strong say in the film's
creative direction as she was also a
producer on the feature on top of being
its star that seemed to extend to having
the power to make her own version of the
movie according to multiple sources
Lively commissioned a cut of the movie
from editor Shane Reed who was an editor
on Deadpool and Wolverine and who cut
the Lively directed music video for
Taylor Swifts I bet you think about me
it's unclear if any of this cut was
ultimately used in the final project
which was credited to editors una flarey
and Rob Sullivan one Insider played down
any friction noting that it is not
uncommon for a film to have several Cuts
emerg during post adding that the team
was in agreement on the final cut Justin
in a recent interview had talked about
taking a step back at times during this
project but never made mentions of
competing Cuts or any sort of bad blood
as a man I'm always going to come with
my own biases and it's one of the
reasons I was afraid to direct this
movie let alone act in it um and I
wanted to make sure this film always had
a a female gaze and I was never putting
myself into it but one of the things
that I think is very easy to say
especially for us men is when we maybe
talk to somebody who's in the situation
or we read a book or we or we hear a
news story the question that's always
asked is why did she stay and that's the
wrong question what we need to be asking
ourselves is why do men harm yes and
that was the big thing for me and what
I've learned more and more and more of
is like you know these women who
experience this every single day there
real love there you know there's charm
there's Charisma there's passion there's
this belief that they can be better and
it's not so simple but while at the
premiere he was interviewed about if he
would take on double duty again and star
and direct the sequel to the film and he
seemed to turn down that idea saying
that Blake is ready to direct which
people are now wondering if that was
potential shade given how it seems he is
not on good terms with the cast you be
willing to entertain bulling double
again in the
future uh you know you're going to have
to ask me in a little while we're going
to take a vacation we're going to take a
vacation after this because we do have
it starts with us so I'm hoping to see
you back in the double duty role I think
the there are better people for that one
I think there are better people for that
one it's no secret that Blake did have
her hands in this film I mean she was a
producer she certainly did make sure
things were in that she felt should be
in a recent interview she was praised
over the use of this song Cherry by Lana
Del re featuring in the film to which
she said she had to fight to keep in the
movie I did also scream when I heard
Cherry by L all right right They begged
me to take that movie out that song out
of the movie why I'm not supposed to be
talking about this but um because they
felt like it was um like too charged and
heavy and things are still good with
riyle at that point so you don't want to
feel that charge and I was like the
moment Atlas enters things are charged
Andy I did find her saying that she
wasn't supposed to be talking about it
interesting though like she wasn't
supposed to be bringing up any sort of
creative differences maybe but overall
the situation is extremely interesting
as the internet seems to be siding with
Justin as his interviews depict him
caring about the messaging and the
seriousness of this film whereas the
other promotions have seemed very romcom
leading Colleen and Blake to receive
backlash but the fact that the cast has
been doing promo with Blake and that
call follows Blake and it's her book the
fact that she is not following Justin
someone she originally gave the movie
rights to I mean this is just it is wild
because you know there's all these
people that are seemingly on Blake's
side and then the internet is on
Justin's side at least it feels like
that's what the sides are right now but
that is what has been going on with this
movie Why Blake lightley has been
getting some backlash even though the
cast seems to be leaning towards her I
certainly want to know what you guys
think about all of this though in the
comments let me know if you guys read
read the book saw the movie if you're
planning to see the movie how you feel
about this drama let me know all your
thoughts I love you guys so much and I
will talk to you in the next video bye
guys
