why was Ryan tripping out at different points in this film


when he was at the party and he started acting weird... (in the mermaid tank, rolling down the hill and cant even talk right)
and then when he was driving and started dreaming there was a man sized bee in the back seat.
Certainly being just an alcoholic wont do that to you.

He got drunk as a skunk on free booze.

I thought the implication was that the bartender slipped him a roofie.... They show him refill his cup after asking too many questions... they made it a point to show the bartender offer him a free drink and poor.

What the *beep* are you People talking about. He was drunk, end of story. :D


"Being an alcoholic won't do that to you".
- Have you never been drunk, or been around people who are drunk? xD

reply

I think at the party drinks were probably free. The bartender offered him a drink to get him to leave the stripper alone.

That was a brilliant piece of non sequitur stuff.
A tribute to Shirley MacLain, but I forget the movie.
Self-driving car, bee in the back seat...

Because he's a heavy drinking alcoholic. The man sized bee was part of a dream as he had fallen asleep at the wheel.

The thing that really matters here, is these were some fun moments with Holland. And realistic or not (he clearly dreamt the man sized bee though), seeing him act that way was both hilarious and interesting. Gosling should do more comedic stuff.
