Editing, when used to it's full potential, is a big part of the language of filmmaking. I chat with the editors of The Bear to discuss how they ground their bold and stylish editing in character and story.
Special thanks to Joanna and Adam for taking the time to chat with me!

The Bear is the perfect reason why competent writers are essential for Hollywood and why the strike is justified.

Absolute gangster move for The Bear to drop a 10/10 masterpiece episode, only to immediately follow it up with another.
"Fishes" into "Forks" is a one-two punch of pure TV magic.

The Bear Season 2 āSeven Fishesā episode is just an unbelievable hour of television. One of the greatest all time Christmas episode

The best thing I can say about this show is that I just recently realized on a rewatch that characters like Tina and Marcus occupy the same place in my brain as actual co-workers I have had, not as fictional characters. I see Tina's face and I think "person I know" and not "character I recognize." That's a hell of a magic trick the actors, writers, and editors have pulled.

The bear is one of the best series in the last couple of years. The conversations feel so real and authentic it's insane

another scene where i was quite impressed with the bear's editing was carmy's panic attack in 2x9. the editing there really helped us understand why thinking of claire didn't work; because she is too tied into his past and the dysfunctional dynamics of his family. thanks to the snappy montage, we got that all of his happy moments with claire were interspersed with his familial trauma. then, when he starts to think about sydney; he begins to calm down, and the editing calms down with him. him and syd's moments aren't interfered with his past because she's the only person in the show who has no ties to his family. she's like a breath of fresh air in his life- quite literally! that's why he can calm down and start to breath normally again at the end. i LOVE this show and how editing is one of the main storytellers in it. great video as always!

The scene with Mikey and the stepdad (Bob Odenkirk) was one of the most well written and uncomfortable scenes I've ever watched, it felt so disturbingly real and reminded me of actual family fights I've seen and been in, especially when alcohol is involved

As somebody who does dialogue for a living, this episode does with crosstalk and layered language what the show normally does with action and focus. I call it the āUncut Gems Christmas Special.ā Also I love it because the 4 most volatile characters in the rest of the show are suddenly put in the back of the chaos bus.

I love how whenever he mentions bad editing he always show that one clip from bohemian rhapsody

Apart from the editing I also loved how many varied storylines there were.
I especially liked how they treated Ebrahim's character. I loved that the show didn't mock him for wanting things to stay the same and the scene where he excitedly went through the hygiene course on his smartphone was really delightful to see (especially in comparison to how little the culinary school was working for him).

'fishes' is definitely top 5 most upsetting things I've ever witnessed in media. Holy shit. It devastated me and left me in tears and a giant headache. It was completely suffocating, especially as we were pulled closer and closer to each characters faces. Truly sickening, and an incredible episode

I still havenāt stopped thinking about how The Bear Season 2 is one of the best seasons of television Iāve ever seen. it was really excellent

Episode 2x07, āForksā the Richie episode is one of the maybe 3 single times a piece of television has made me cry. Iām very rarely as emotionally invested in tv characters as I can get with films, but I believe that Dutch angle shot that was mentioned cutting to Richie by his car was what did it. The way that every element of filmmaking came together for 30 minutes to tell this deep and quiet story about fighting your own depression and doubts to find self-worth, it was beautiful. In a fantastic cast of characters Richie has always been my favourite because of how they leveraged the acting, writing, editing, everything to make him a very layered person whoās much more than the brash asshole we first meet.
Thanks for this video! I often find editing the hardest thing to understand in film criticism and I appreciate you breaking it down, plus giving credit to the talented people responsible.

The Sundae montage is jaw dropping. It so perfectly captures the creative process, how you piece different ideas together in your head to make something new. I was watching it by myself and literally called my husband from the other room to rewatch it. It's a masterpiece.

This is what happens when creators are allowed freedom and 100% trusted to do their job. Absolutely stunning show and faultless in every respect.

Man this show is just firing on ALL cylinders - thank you for talking to the editors whose work feels so deeply essential to what makes The Bear so incredible. It's some of the most astonishing work I've seen editors do in TV.

Forks was a welcome relief, we finally see a win for Richie. I remember being drawn in and finally being able to relax once I saw that they were going to build him into a new character, rather than have him fail in this new role (would've been a cheap ploy.)
The scene analysis was great here, helped me understand why it was so compelling and felt so satisfying. The comped meal was really smart in terms of storytelling, too. It absolutely got his attention and made him realize what that place was all about.

The bear is great, but shout out to Thomas Flight - consistently delivering intelligent thought-essays ina highly approachable manner. Bravo young man!

The problem I had with the Sydney episode was that the editors made it seem like Sydney packed away a ton of food in one day. They didnāt show a number of transitions from morning to night to show that she did all this eating in the course of several days. No one could eat that much food in one day.
