The father died? When? It ends up taking her to the airport, alive.

personally i feel like deep down from the beginning the person just cant imagine themselves as grown up or being alive in a some 10 years to come with some hoping that something takes them out brushing aside the fact that some they might have to do it themselves.

I don’t feel the characters relationships are well developed in this movie. There is no reason why Mohito started to call Natsuki “Mother”, their relationship didn’t evolve but all of a sudden he realized that that’s his mother. Then, I didn’t see the bond and development of the relationship between Himi and Mohito. Himi looks like she is the spirit of his mom, but we don’t feel it, we don’t see their bond.

"this was my sincere love letter to aftersun"

i watched this movie next to my dad while he slept in his hospital bed after chemo, safe to say i am not recovering

One of the darkest animated movies ever and the best Disney movie in my opinion where everything is taking much seriously

this movie broke me

Joe touching the butterfly fresh out of it's cocoon could have resulted in damaging it's wings!!exactly what happened to him..joe was barely out of his 'cocoon 'and Cracies touch resulted in joes damaged "wings "This Butterfly 🦋 was actually really lucky to be able to fly 😢..whereas joe never was able to "fly "and be free 💙

Who is really alive in this movie ? Adam navigates his life mindlessly, absent, a ghost always in the dark whereas the actual dead people are the one bringing light and life in Adam's world. Add to that that the moment Harry accepts his own death (cradled by Adam, going to sleep in the exact position Adam finds his body), he makes a glaring light that joins a sky of stars.

I tried to commit suicde when I was in my 30s and now I’m a single dad to my 5 year old daughter. We’re gong on holiday next month to the Canary Islands. I don’t think I’ve cried so much.

Great analysis! As someone who lost people close to me and dealt with the loneliness that comes with it this movie spoke to me. It also gave me new insights on how to deal with it. Really one of those movies that stays with you.

Great analysis creating utopian world is really hard ❤

This is a movie that did not need to be made.

Im sorry this movie was bad. The ideas/themes are interesting but the execution was a mess and unfinished

The part about manipulation and Quasimodo is really good. 8:23 The fact that Quazimoto is resistent to positivity is something victims of emotional abuse do. And they think its the truth in part because it is familiar and thus safe. Reminds me of Zuko in Avatar tla or Disney’s Rapunzel, and as weird as it sounds it is courageous to reject everything you know to find the truth AND leave an abuser/narcissist. (Tho not everyone that's narcissistic is abusive).

loved your review!

For me the rave scene is a metaphor. Sophie as a kid knows her dad loves to dance, and it is also their last shared memory of the vacation she probably wishes never ended - both because she was happy and also she now knows it was the end for her dad. So in her mind, when he walked away at the airport to his certain demise, he went to some sort of heaven where he is finally happy and at peace at a rave - even the rave is more a scene belonging to Sophie's adult life as she can't fathom what it would've been for her dad back then. So many layers to this film.

Paul Mescal seems to specialize in these broken men. He is so persuasive that you don’t feel like he is acting, although he apparently had a good normal childhood and adolescence. He is simply a great actor. The only issue I haven’t come to terms with is being left without answers. Does he simply go off to another country in Normal People? Does he commit suicide in Aftersun? Does he really exist in All of Us Strangers, or is he a figment of Adam’s imagination? I guess I’m used to Hollywood endings where everything is wrapped in a neat package, although some American movies also leave you with unsolved questions: Redford’s Ordinary People, Woody Allen’s Crimes & Misdemeanors, Martin Ritt’s Hud.

If 45,000,000 lira is about £850, am I right in thinking 50,000 lira is less than £1. If so, I think there is a different meaning to that. It is that she never needed his money. The photo, the memory, the closeness in the photo was more important but he struggled to believe that because his ability to be close to anybody was so marred with pain. It was not her fault but loving her was killing him. He needed her to know that he did love her but he couldn't love himself. He couldn't love himself. When we loath ourselves, we see loathing everywhere. I think this movie could help anybody who's parents died by suicide to understand that they truly were loved and that they really tried but some of us are trapped by circumstance. Please don't blame us and please never blame yourself because you were the only reason we carried on for as long as we did.

The arrow shooting by itself into the wall reminds me of Ashitaka's hand in princess mononoke when he meets Lady Eboshi

Didn't House Kirraman create a system of vents that pulled the Grey out of Zaun and keep the air down there somewhat clean? Didn't Caitlin weaponise it to achieve a tactical advantage?

Imagine your partner with their old fling wondering what could've happened with them if they stayed together in front of you. Disrespectful

I watched Past Lives within the first week of its premiere last year and left the theater with the conclusion that this film just wasn’t my cup of tea. The ending is what really disappointed me. I felt so underwhelmed by the way they chose to end it, and I admittedly was bothered by the fact that this story didn’t land on a happier note. Or at least, happy in the traditional sense. I had been expecting just another predictable love triangle situation that we have all seen many times before. I didn’t come to fully understand the deeper message that was being conveyed through the nuanced narratives of these characters. During this time I was initiating a similar transitional phase in my life as Nora, and I’ve experienced a lot of the same lessons in identity, fate, love, and commitment as well since watching this film. Reflecting back on Past Lives with this new insight has helped spark a new appreciation for how poignantly the intricacies of navigating who we are and what meaning we have in the lives of those we cross paths with Song portrays through this pragmatic perspective. It uncovers the parts of human connections that are less appealing, but nonetheless crucial for our personal development. Loved your analysis of this film! It really is so amazing to see a story on screen that incorporates all these unique themes in a mature, realistic way that feels quite refreshing.

Even seeing some of these clips in your video make me tear up. What an amazing movie and amazing performances from Paul and Frankie. I'd love more of them together.

💯

Great video! To add to the conclusion: one aspect that makes Arcane season 2 stand out from it's previous steampunk alikes is the introduction of the cult of the individual. I don't recognize that 'trope' being this prevalent in other steampunk narratives, and it does a good job of mirroring how social media and personification of politics has influenced our societies - making it easy to fracture one society into smaller, sometimes fanatical groups. Trump is one figure that comes to mind. Also, the ending of season 1 has introduced the topic of terrorism, which seems very relevant nowadays (I've felt that the show was a good warning sign for us to do better so no more 'Jinxes' need to be made [especially since she wasn't born as Jinx, she became one after all she's been through]).

Arcane is, unfortunately, very relevant to the modern-day.

Judge Claude Frollos is Disney's darkest villian!! Because he's the human of all the Disney Villains!!! He's a genocidal, racist, lustful, religious zealot!! He represents the evil tyrants of the past e.g Adolf Hitler, Idi Amin, Joseph Stalin etc

The Wild Robot was good, but had too much action for the sake of having action set pieces. Could have been something incredible if it was given more time to breathe.

It seems to me that the comparison is a bit shallow (not on your part, on the part of the bloggers and "journalists" writing these pieces). What makes Miyazaki's films unique is their deep introspection, the suspended moments of silence and beauty that don't "move the plot along" (that basically no other director allows), and the sophistication of his character development. The Wild Robot is very beautiful, and sure, the matte painted backgrounds even look similar to a Miyazaki film. But it doesn't seem to share any of the other extremely unique features of Ghibli films.

im gonna loose it if this mid ass generic early 2000s ass kids movie (i love kid movies when they arent smashing my head in with the fact that they're most definately meant for kids and not adults) gets compared to actual slow introspective art JUST because the visuals were nice.

Claude Frollo remains number 1 on my favorite Disney villain list (Maleficent, Hades, Gaston, Scar and Ursula)

Now that there’s a movie of it I hope the books get love because they’re genuinely some of the best pieces of American litature

Really good analysis

Nice vid.

Hey Your a small TH-camr, I'm a small TH-camr Let's team up

The acting, the costumes, and the sets were amazing.

This film certainly made me "unhappy" so FFC is ironically part of the system he hates. That said, it is horrible in new and unique ways, ways I could never have imagined, so that gets it a spot in my memory.

Great video :) I loved the set design of this movie. Love then there is actual fashion in future society.

Perhaps the Tragedy of the West is the tragedy of genius. Just sayin....

The repetitive images really were annoying.

The film fails at its stated vision. The Megalopolis utopia was not built through cooperation or by discussing the future. It was built because a crashing satellite destroyed the neighborhoods that were in Catalina's way. Instead of coming together, the film says that opposition must be destroyed.

9 months late but this is insanely good. Loved this!

anmnmnmnmnmnmnmmnnmnmnmnmnmnmnmmnnmnmnmnmnmnmnmmnnmnmnmnmnmnmnmmn This movie should be at least 18+ ❗ The director has turned to the dark side in his old age ⁉ znmnmnmnmnmnmnmmnnmnmnmnmnmnmnmmnnmnmnmnmnmnmnmmnnmnmnmnmnmnmnmmn

great topic but editing paste doesn't match it at all.

A good analysis thank you!

If there is one thing that is undeniable its that this film really doesnt look like anything else. I guess thats fairly big props

I felt that Megalopolis floundered as a film, but the ideas it brings up stayed with me. Thanks for putting this together and expounding on these ideas

*No spoilers here.* The way in which "Megalopolis" introduces its characters and their different kinds of relationships, and then goes from one conflict to the other... It feels as if it was intended to be a series and it was re-written to be a movie at the last minute. Regardless of the structure, I didn't find myself invested in this fictional world. A very brief scene that shows a female body and then twin fetuses inside her was achieved with a very creative technique. If only the whole movie had that kind of vision. Don't get me wrong. There are unconventional artistic choices throughout the running time, but they're neither thought-provokingly good nor fascinatingly bad; they're simply uninteresting and sometimes even pretentious. 5/10
