That's the obvious take, sure. What's really important is that Barry gets cheered both times - on tour for killing three targets and on stage for lying about not only the number of targets but how it ended. Acting is 'the search for truth' - in your characters, in the personifications you play and in the ideas and feelings you share with your fellow thespians and the audience. Barry's truth is that he's been acting human this whole time when in fact the machine of war allowed him to be the only thing he's ever been good at and while he's completely lying to his fellow thespians he is finding out the real truth of himself. Meanwhile the Chorus (those in the audience) are shocked and numbed and don't know which story is true - the one acted out or the one not spoken and all they can eventually do is cheer for the dude supposedly taking his shot at honesty on stage.

It's about Barry's environment. Barry is completely aware he is a machine of war, hes not discovering this... He's trying to "un-program himself" and learn what behaviors people impulsively act on rather than calculating themselves into.. He doesn't care that they are wrong and that he is lying. If anything, Barry is taking notes on "how he should feel" about the situation... That and the distinct differences between your environment motivating you to act versus prohibiting you.

I think that's a big indicator as to the motivations of Barry. He doesn't do anything for himself, but to feel the acceptance from his peers. He only joined the acting class after feeling great from the applause of the acting class with Ryan Madison. He killed more than necessary because of his fellow soldiers' words of encouragement. He continues as a contact killer because of Fuches' words of encouragement. Barry himself doesn't really have a sense of morality otherwise.

I actually liked it, it shows an actual side of war that civilians don't normally see. Soldiers kill, if every soldier breaks down crying every time they kill an enemy we would be a truly pathetic nation. Civilians hear somebody killed a human and assumes they automatically break down and have PTSD for the rest of their life, which is actually something that develops after the incident, usually within three months but you're normally not going to experience symptoms immediately. You can see the adrenaline in his face when he's about to take the shot and afterwards, I think it captures a magnificent psychological take on the views of the military versus the rest of the world. I like to imagine that his thought process was "Oh shit I probably shouldn't say that part".

@alexanderchippel

Honestly I think my favorite part of the scene is Barry's CO repeating "No, no, no," as Barry takes his second and third shots. It sets the expectation that they're going to be abhorred with what Barry has just done, especially when paired with Hader's expression in the present, but really he's just in shock that Barry is that good a shot. It's even more effective on each successive viewing, because he's already displayed a cold and indifferent attitude towards killing enemy combattants. The first time I watched this episode I assumed Barry killed civilians. It also pays off really well in the later flashback wherein he actually does kill a civilian.

Remember "acting is truth," "use it," "you don't have to know what child molestation is like, you just have to know what it's like to hurt someone." Bill Hader really hurt someone and he's using it...duh? I mean I wouldn't have even wondered if it wasn't brought up 15 times as what acting is, and then it kinda went nowhere, for Barry, if not Bill Hader? What's "murder"? It's the worst thing Bill Hader ever did to someone. By the logic stated on the show a dozen times. Here's what it might be: "Can you give me ANYTHING?"--Sally to Barry, in that scene that won the Emmy, after he murders his old marine buddy, with the agent in the audience. The biggest literary agent in the world had requested my novel--the real "Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs" from "South Park." The book that makes you puke, that's inexplicably REALLY good. Bill Hader was there, in the "South Park" writer's room. That was a parody of a real book--that's why that episode made no sense, and people still ask Google if it's real, somehow. I had mailed it to the voice of Towelie. I thought I had enough evidence (there's even more, now.) But nobody believed it? Or understood? Or cared? For "South Park" to even notice some guy's novel was a miracle--yet I could explain how it happened at every stage. Got their attention with something incredibly disgusting, funny and vile--then people kept coming back from reading it saying it was some kind of highbrow literary masterwork, and it felt like a comedy sketch. "Guys, this is MY LIFE. I don't want to sue you. It's the coolest thing in the world. Salman Rushdie's agent requested it because this literary genius Stanford neuroscientist basically said 'I think it's like the best thing I've ever read?' like an idiot, like the episode. He's talented, you guys are actually talented, this book is weird and nobody ever thought it would sell, it means EVERYTHING TO ME. I love you. 'They did a 'South Park' about it' already makes it more relevant to pop culture than 10,000 pieces of shit no one cares about. Can you give me ANYTHING?" Cold. Like killing Chris. Under orders, like the Macbeth scene from Season 1--"South Park" guys didn't want to get sued or then, have it be known they were dicks like that. Unfortunately for their personal brands, they just can't help themselves: they put everything in the show. From my book, to Bill Hader screaming at Trey Parker about his personal brand in 2012, to feeble-minded Reddittors who just think the TV is talking to me (my name is "Rick"--the season finale of "South Park" was just saying my name as much as possible--48 times, tied with "a," I analyzed a transcript--the TV is literally talking to me! That's the joke! You can go watch this right now, it's called "Spring Break.") I don't want to destroy his reputation, but since he's made pretty clear he'll never admit this, now, should point "can you give me anything" and "Chris looked up to you" are not there for the audience, really--any viewer would almost nitpickingly point out the Chechen guy looked up to Barry, not Chris--no, it's there so Bill Hader can win Emmys, "using it." It really is kind of a scumbag move! And Barry is convincing that way: the guilt is fucking real, over SOMETHING. He obviously wrote the first season around that one scene. "I have this great emotional shit from when I felt like I ruined this guy's life. I can 'use it'!" Hader's great performance as a scumbag IS in itself scumbaggy, in a feedback loop. But this is America, and Bill Hader IS a good guy, now--cuz he's on fuckin' TV. And I'm gonna use it. Bill Hader felt like he murdered the guy who wrote the real "Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs," which is actually called "Bebe's Tale" (like the "South Park" character,) which is why the character Bebe beat the shit out of Butters' "personal brand" last season. Butters sometimes stood for Bill Hader! They were worried this story would make them look like dicks. But between "Barry" and "South Park," I don't know which series of confessions is more obvious? Scrotie (.) Biz in your browser for more.

Everyone in the comments is talking about how annoying the two classmates are, not how Barry doesn't correct them because he WISHES that's what happened. He wishes that's what happened because it's better than the truth: that a bunch of guys cheered his name because he killed three people, who for all he knows, might've just been civilians. Barry's trauma comes from recognizing in hindsight what they were celebrating, and how fucked up that was. He knows admitting what truly happened will horrify his class, so instead, Barry pretends that it went the way his classmates think it did. His teacher remains unsatisfied because he can see that Barry's hiding the truth and that in doing so, he's failing to work through his trauma and inner turmoil, blocking himself from unlocking his acting potential. When in truth, Barry's standing there reliving a traumatic moment, while the two people next to him try - and fail - to portray what they imagine a marine's trauma looks like.

Its way more common to have ptsd over things like your buddy dying in front of you, or the ringing in your ears from all the explosions and gunshots, or seeing a poor girl in being sold off by her dad for marriage to an old man to feed the family and thinking about your own daughter.

I watched this show with my brother, he said it is pretty accurate, you kill someone and it is a job well done... you don't cheer a bunch, but you will get a whisper of yes or someone saying it was awesome.

A friend who served in Iraq described an incident where his unit was on a roof, I believe. A car on the street drove by, and people in the car were shooting out the window randomly, I believe in celebratory gunfire, aimed in the air. He opened up on the car from above, injuring or killing occupants. He was later reprimanded for shooting when they weren't actually under fire. But the same colonel that did so, also gave him an "out-fing-standing shooting [marksmanship]" and a pat on the shoulder as he left. When the job is to kill people and break things to further government policy, I don't understand why people think our guys are all going to be boy scouts who always check with the unit JAG to make sure it is morally and legally OK to shoot. War is hell, and the ones who can use violence then most ruthlessly and efficiently tend to be the ones that come out on top. We shouldn't be surprised when our "boys" behave accordingly. This is why you don't start wars unless you are willing to annihilate the enemy as fast as possible, then go home. Because stuff is going to happen, warriors are not the peace corps, people who signed up to hand our candy to kids and build schools.

Bill's smile of pride after his friends hyped him up was so adorable. It made him look like a 17 year old. Also I love how they made sure to pay attention to the little details. It's amazing. This show is one of a kind.

Ignorance is bliss for those acting classmates.But still bless them to be able to feel like their interpretation is how things actually happen.I haven't served but come from a family who have served. My grandpa was a sniper and he said similar to this scene that there was nothing more rewarding then pulling off a shot but at the same time there was also nothing more devastating.Knowing you took a life before they even knew what happened.Knowing that you are both impressed with the shot you just made and happy you are still alive.And wondering what kind of monster are you to be feeling such things.Your actions on the battlefield never hit you cause you are out to survive.But its after when you think you are finally safe and when you are least expecting it.Their souls come to haunt you.He always was glad that people that dont serve never have to feel things like that.That it is the brave men and woman who serve,their burden to bare for us.God bless them all past,present,and future.

Julian Martinez I’m ex forces myself, dark humour helps you get through the shit. Most people will never see or do half of what service folk will and I’ll include police, ambulance and firefighters too. Here’s an example that stood clear in my mind for two+ decades. It was an extract from a book called don’t cry for me sergeant major. There’s a moment when the parachute regiment are under mortar/artillery fire from the Argentines during the Falklands conflict. Then a young para is hit, starts screaming “ my leg, my leg, I’ve lost my leg” ...his mate in no uncertain terms replies, “don’t worry, you’ve not lost your leg, it’s over here”and held it up. The first paras leg had been blown off from bombardment, and in the mess of battle his mate not thinking just held it up as if to say well, you’ve not lost it, I’ve got it, although the first soldier had indeed had his leg blown off and “lost it”. The sergeant/sergeant major who overheard the exchange vividly recalled the moment in the book showing how dark humour helped to relieve/stem/stop the situation going far worse. The screaming started calming down, his mate started methodically helping him with emergency care. Rather then both going into shell shock, hyperventilating and being unable to function because the initial panic had been stooped. The most sincere yet daftest of moments quite often stop situations going off the rails. It’s a common theme in high stress situations.

I really don't get people who go to so called crisis zones voluntarily during peace time and then dare to compare their actions into the actions of people, who actually went to place their life on the line to protect all of our freedom, who help people out from burning buildings, who resuscitate people from the brink of death. They live a constant life of denial. First they insist to themselves that they are going there to protect the freedom of their nation and by going there they cover a better position to themselves in the society, while at the same time they take an cavalier attitude towards killing people at their own nation and they get frowned upon by the majority of their own countrymen because they choose to go there in the first place with violent intentions. Then they insist to themselves that everybody in there is a potential target, while at the same time the potential targets are thinking that what excuses the occupiers are using this time to hold them at gunpoint. Then they insist to themselves that the poeple in there are the bad guys, that the "bad guys" started the whole thing, it's their fault that occupying soldiers are there, while at the same time the soldiers are being used to secure assets and resources which will not actually benefit them in any way ever and infact will only cost them more and more and will eventually just cause more trouble than they are worth when they get back. Then they pull the trigger/push the launch button/press the foot pedal and see someone dying by their own actions and immedialtely realise that it's all bullshit, but keep patting themselves in the back with the rest of people who are there for the same reasons. Seems to me that it's just an vicious circle of denial and self betrayal, while at the same time lying to all the rest about it all. I have not watched this series, but that scene to me was about the things I just wrote. In the scene Hader's character kills two people cold blooded based on a stupid hunch. He realises it and don't wan to go through it, but ends up killing two possible/likely civilians just because someone else justifies it to him - and you type a comment about dark humor as an distraction. SMH.

The moment his brain associated killing people woth finally receiving approval and affection was the moment his life was permanently ruined

I don't know if Barry was necessarily happy, perhaps indifferent of killing someone. But I can understand why he would be apprehensive on sharing his squads reaction to his accomplishment, it would be taboo to relish on death, even if it's a stranger half way across the globe. If you notice, Barry's reality is focused on his squad's reaction, whereas the acting of Barry's story is focused on Barry himself. Perhaps both are true, maybe Barry did initially feel remorse, but was drowned of the attention his fellow soldiers gave.

I'm sure a part of him at the time WAS proud that he pulled it off. Being cheered for an achievement is something we all like. And I'm not a Soldier but I would expect that taking down a target would have a more light hearted reaction, because if you make every kill important, then war would take forever and nothing would be accomplished. So I would expect soldiers to have a sense of humor about death, since any day could also be their last. So yes, Barry at the time felt proud. But once he distanced himself from the situation, and let it ponder and ruminate, did it start to actually take effect on him. It was a great moment but when he started to really let it set in, he did indeed take a life, a person he never once met. That can change you, dont say it wouldn't.

Yeah imagine how embarrassing it is for many of them to admit that they didn't kill anyone. Truly crushing humiliation.

@monokhem God you're an asshole just looking for an argument. Lmao go on ifunny little 5 year old.

Barry’s look to the re-enactment was priceless🤣

this is by far my favorite scene in this already brilliant show, it stayed with me and I believe it's a master class in writing character

In the moment it is not remorse, it is not tears, it is not sadness you will feel. It is scary how it is joy you feel and it IS praise you will receive from you brothers in the moment. It is the after that it become dark to some of us.

I feel like Hader has wayyyyy more dramatic potential than anyone gives him credit for.

You're the best for posting these clips 💗

This is such a magnificant show, cant wait for season 3, which just announced to go live april 24.

I love that he calls him "a human ice box" and THAT marks the moment where all the emotions he'd repressed for so long start to sip through the cracks in his soul. The subtler it is the harder it is to write, and Bill and Alec are fucking, masters of emotional writing. I know I'm learning from them as a writer, I don't know about you.

I felt it was kinda disrespectful to play out the scene that’s obviously really hard for him to talk about.

the whole theatre kid group in this show is portrayed as being able to read the scene but not the room. It’s really funny to me when I’m done cringing my ass off

This when I realized this show was special

They’re definitely Marines.

Him killing the 3 was a proud moment not something he regrets. He knows that normal civilians wouldn't be able to understand, so he hides the truth. If he regretted killing he wouldn't be a hitman.

the editing with the audio from the past flowing into the video from the present is extremely well done

Damn. I'm actually impressed. How did Bill Hader research before doing this show?

They apparently did bring in real marines to coach the actors through scenes like this so they could get realistic movements and speech patterns. According to my dad the uniforms Barry and the other two guys wear here are quite accurate. He especially liked that they showed him releasing the safety on the gun.

He didn't do enough research to know that's not how you pronounce "Sangin",

I love this scene. I was both laughing and cringing at the performance of the two actors. Just great. I dont know if that's how it happens in the military either, but the contrast is amazing and I can definitely relate it to stuff I've seen. Really makes you feel for a freaking hitman.

3:18 i love this scene, he reacts like a kid who saw his friend throwing a paper ball in the bin from 20 m. Fucking hilarious, pretty sure it's a realistic scene.

I always laugh at the idea of a trained sniper “forgetting” how much a rifle recoils. Why on earth would he forget
