Bo Burnam Inside - Tumblr Posts
Inside by Bo Burnham has a very interesting distinction between the first and the second half of the movie
The first half of the movie is full of funny skits and different made up characters (the White Woman, the Unpaid Intern, Bezos, Socko) because that's what Bo does on stage. That is simply what he is used to, he thought this was going to be something fun and quick he could do in a few months, and it would just be a recreation his usual shows but from home, easy right?
Until he turns 30
It's easy to see that, after the intermission, there are no silly characters or skits anymore. The only ones are the Internet, which is a more complex character, and Bezos again, but as a small attempt of keeping with what he was doing in the first half of the movie. But most of the songs are so personal and deep in a way that was barely scraped in the ones in the first half (Look Who's Inside Again or 30, which are also in the middle, closer to the second half). This is not a fun and quick thing anymore, and i'm not only talking about the movie. The quarantine has been around long enough that Bo has had to spend his birthday stuck in his house alone. The panorama has changed completely.
The quick decline of his mental health and the signs of anxiety and depression are clear as day now, when before they were disguised between jokes and weird phrases. This is not a joke anymore. This is not two weeks at home and then everything is normal again.
He tried to hide behind skits and comedy, but even inside of his house, he can't do it anymore. Everybody knows.
Everybody knows
You say the ocean's rising like I give a shit
You say the whole world's ending, honey, it already did
You're not gonna slow it, Heaven knows you tried
Got it? Good, now get inside

It's been a few years now since Inside came out, but I still think "Obama sent the immigrants to vaccinate your kids" is the funniest and best line in anything ever
In my head Bo Burnham and Will Wood are the same person just in different universes
“I’m just Ken” and “Straight White Man” are the inverses of the same song in different fonts.
