i may have cried. this is genuinely one of the best video essays i've ever seen. your story about your grandfather and how you weave it into the narrative of fantastic mr. fox is truly- well- fantastic.
This was really awesome, RIP your grandfather. Really moved by the quotes "do not seek happiness, seek contentment" and "sometimes giving your time to someone else, may be nothing for you, but everything for them."
'He lives in the past first' - incredible insight from the dialogue, well done! The analogy to your grandfather (RIP) is wonderful. Personally, contentment is something tangible for me, happiness is not. But being content makes it easier to be happy, which is awesome 💯
This shit genuinely made me sit there in awe, like the way you tied everything you experienced to the movie, to the music, to the pickup on the little details in dialogue, the perfect recipe for a perfect video essay
I cried at your outro My grandmother passed in March of 2023, just 2 months before my graduation. She was so excited to see me at my graduation and so excited to see me start college. I'm in college to be a seamstress, something she had done for many decades after losing her job. Fantastic Mr. Fox has been a comfort movie for me as of late. And your video is so amazing, please keep this up.
the fish looks to whale and asks “do you know where I can find the ocean?” the whale looks at him with an eye of disdain and says “you're standing in it” the fish says “no this is water. what I'm looking for is the ocean”
holy shit, this is the most beautiful, touching and significant video essay I've ever watched. the way you articulate your thoughts and constructed this in such a way that flows so smoothly truly has me fascinated. how you managed to weave in the themes of the story; touching on classism, existentialism, patriarchy/toxic masculinity, along with story of you and your grandfather, so coherently is beyond me. I don't think I'll ever be forgetting those final few words; "don't strive to be happy, strive to be content. it's more fulfilling and it lasts longer"
When I saw the title of your video, at first I was scared it was gonna be one of those “settle and keep your expectations low” kinda video, so i’m glad that wasn’t the case at all. I totally agree with the notion that happiness/contentment is a state of mind. “Life is fantastic when we choose to view it as such” is a great line, we choose to feel happy, content and grateful for what we already have, only then we can achieve happiness, trough contentment and gratitude for the good things in life. Once we feel content, we can also feel happy within that contentment. Happiness isn’t something you should actively search for, but find in whithin yourself. It is a conscious choice, YOU make your life fantastic. This is a Very good video essay, and the story of your grandpa was delightful and touching.
Can't believe this amazing review is not famous yet. I reckon you have explained exactly what the movie wanted to transmit. P. D: Your grandfather was a fantastic person😁
A comment I heard from another essay was ‘Sometimes I find things just when I needed them the most’, and I think this video essay was found by me at just the right time. Thank you
I loved this analysis in so many ways that I won’t try to explain all that your perspective on this film made me feel and think. There’s clearly so much beautiful wisdom to be found in this film and I only love it even more now after seeing this. My grandmother passed recently and I feel like she had a similar role in my life and the lives of so many of my family members to what you describe your grandfather having in your own life. So what you said at the end there really resonated with me to the point of drawing a few tears. Thank you for making this fantastic video essay!
My grandmother also passed away in my junior year of high school so the part of the video about your grandfather (and him not making it to your graduation) just opened the floodgates. I’ve been a bit emotionally numb to her death during the chaos of college and this video gave me space to cry and feel those feelings again. You’ve provided some much needed catharsis. The whole essay is brilliant, and you balance+analyze so many themes, but the way you weave your/your grandfather’s story into the narrative is so beautiful and profound❤️ Thank you
Fuck im not crying, you are. Didn"t expect to get such a hard punch to the guts right at the ending. As someone who lost a dad, an uncle, a cousin and all my grandparents it gets really hard sometimes not to dwell in what has gone (my father never made it through my hs graduation either) and be grateful for whats left. As also someone who struggles a lot with finding happines, contentment and meaning in life as a general, your video was truly - well - fantastic and made me feel all sorts of funny ways inside!
Wow, every once and a while I’ll see a video that kind of leaves me with that feeling when you finish a show you’ve been watching for a long time. That empty feeling where I just get room to think and process, this is one of those videos. It’s amazing how in depth this goes, and I this video alone made me subscribe. The story of your Grandfather (rest in peace) was absolutely incredible, sad, and uplifting all at once. I’ve found myself thinking about my own grandfather recently, I feel like I need to live up to how my grandfather and his father lived their lives. I miss him because I cant remember all that much about him aside from the stories my parents and extended family can recall, and that makes me sad. So this was absolutely felt. I really think this deserves more views, this is one of my absolute favorite movies and I didn’t even catch on to all of the themes in the movie. Wonderful work, well done 💙
I knew this was going to be wholesome (I love this movie) but nothing could've prepared me for this!! So beautiful, gentle and kind 💖 I'm so grateful for seeing this 💖
Beautifully spoken and expressed. I find comfort knowing there's someone that gets this movie the same way I do. I love my dumb simple life. A job I enjoy, a place to sleep, food on the table, and family/friends that I enjoy spending time with. Nothing wrong with wanting more, but to be content with what you need, is a FANTASTIC thing. (hehe)
This is such an amazing work of art thank you for sharing this with the world! I never got to meet my grandfather despite sharing his name. I often look up and say “i hope im wearing it well” I gather that he too was a content man, loving to sing and was well devoted to family. Thank you again for sharing
That was truly beautiful, meaningful and touching. So well written, thank you for putting this out into the world. Your message touched me in a moment of darkness
This was brilliant and beautiful. One of my favorite video essays I’ve ever had the privilege of stumbling across. A thought provoking and honestly life changing look at one of my favorite movies of all time. Thank you.
Man. This is one of the best videos essays I’ve ever watched and that’s an understatement. Your take on this movie displayed not only exactly why I love this movie but also how I feel about life personally. Thank you for making this and I hope it gets more attention!! ❤ (Edit) The end with your grandpa was completely unexpected but so beautiful. You tied it into the video perfectly and he seemed like a great grandpa :3
That was a great analysis of the film. Fantastic Mr Fox is one of my favorite films of all time! I lost my Grandfather recently. He would’ve loved this film as well. It’s a good reminder to have gratitude in our lives. Despite our sucky jobs we can find contentment in the family we have and the friends we make along the way.
I teared up at the end about your grandfather. I lost my grandfather this last october, he played the saxophone at his church and in his own jazz band. The underscore of jazz really made that special, I always think of him when I hear that type of music. This movie is one of my favorites and this is such a well done and heartfelt analysis.
Just stumbled across this and it couldn’t have come at a more poignant time for me. Excellent story telling and the message couldn’t be clearer… life is what you make it ❤️
Kinda funny how a random video recommended by TH-cam made me feel so many things. I'm in a weird point in my life, so many emotions and so much confusion. I am slowly(very) heading towards a better life and also mindset. Now I'm just laying on my bed all alone in my room and just thinking about the things mentioned in the video like happiness, being content, ego and other stuff that i forgot. I guess I dont really have a grasp on so many things in life. I tend to get stuck in the past and overthink way too much so you know what I'm finally going to watch this movie. Thank you for making and sharing this video. 😅 I rambled a bit.
Incredible, thoughtful, and deeply relatable analysis of one of my favorite films as a child, having first seen it with my late grandmother in theaters when I was 10. Just rewatched it so I was craving for some more adult analysis of it, and this certainly did the trick. This video easily deserves 100-fold the views it has, but I suppose going with the theme of the video, 1.2k ain't so bad. Thanks for this.
This video popped up on my feed at just the right time. I was just telling my wife how I don’t believe I’ll ever feel the need to prioritize my career to any level of considerable notoriety because my first and most fulfilling duty is being a husband and father. Something about that feels very “against the grain” in society today, and yet I am consistently reaffirmed in that belief everyday - and today this is what has done that. I have many hobbies and interests, and often take joy in pursuing/exploring them when I can. And I think it will feel quite gratifying when I’m at the end and my kids, and their kids all get to see that I feel good about how I spent the time I was given. Thanks for this video, I’ve always loved this movie but have never been able to put into words why.
I may be late but I want to say thank you. Seeing the notes you shared from your grandfather made me think of my grandfather and great grandfather. I grew up without a dad, and they taught me what he couldn't. Yknow, listen, be brave, value those you love, your actions speak louder, and faith in yourself. The first drink I ever had was with my great grandpa after my dad died and he told me "it doesnt go awat, the pain. But you can outdo the pain with love. Even if your garden has weeds there will always be flowers." He inspired my love of life and gardening, and my grandpa inspired my love of carpentry. Sure they were old school and didn't like makimg their granddaughter do "mans work" but they always said I was their favorite and their best helper. From one person who misses their granddads to another, i bet he would be proud of you. Awesome video and commentary. Thank you for making me remember what they taught me, be a good man -a good person- and love. Be happy, be content. You only got so much time left.
I always felt like the themes in this movie were just barely grazing me as they flew overhead, and now I know because you’ve made them clear. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself, it is easily the strongest work I’ve seen in a while!
you've got me tearing up; my grandfather only passed away 3 months ago, and hearing people talk about their grief and acceptance of death makes me very emotional, but oh so grateful and happy to empathise with people who completely understand how I feel; thank you for this
my grandpa passed away around two months ago now. i miss him dearly, this movie also made me think of him. he went through many traumatic things being japanese american, but he made a life for himself. he was content even when he wasn’t in good health towards the end. thank you for this video, it made me remember him today
There are a lot of good video essays, but this one is by far one of the most impactful and succinct essays I've ever been blessed to have been reccomended. In the most human way, thank you!
You're very blessed to have had such a wonderful grandfather. You made me cry! I love your choice of music for this essay, one of my favorite movies as well. Thank you.
Wow! That last moment with what is your dream now, it hit me. I never felt that from any youtube video ever. The way you explain what's behind every scene is just on point👌 Loved the video it was amazing!
This video is beautiful. I love the tie-in to your grandpa at the end. I could tell that your relationship was beautiful, too. This video is my first introduction to your channel, and I'm very excited to watch more.
Well now I’m sobbing. Thank you for a lovely little video essay and for sharing some vulnerability. May your grandfather rest in peace, with so much love.
not much more i can say that hasn't already been said. 2 years passed and your words have touched my heart; and many of those like me, to this day. truly beautiful video, thank you.
Loved the video. The quality of the background music took me by surprise, but then I saw y'all's LSU gear and it all clicked :) Love to see other Louisianans doing great things. Keep up the great work!
i know you posted this video 2 years ago, but this video is really is one of the best things i’ve seen on YT, not only is this my favorite movie but the theme is something i think about almost every single day, and you put my thoughts into words
The best thing I seen in the last couple of months. I want to remake this in my mother tongue if I ever become a content creator. Thanks for this video.
Jesus out out of left field with that wisdom and then I CRIED at the parallel to your grandfather so thanks for that. He sounds like he was a great man. I'm in a band, it's my dream, but my dream is the 'success' version, not the contentment one. This essay planted the idea that maybe I'm looking for happiness in the wrong place. Thanks
I cried, yes. This has to be the best Wes Anderson essay i've ever seen. You have a fantastic ability of putting concepts into words, I loved how you narrated and the story about your grandpa was very touching ❤ Subscribing now. Keep creating, keep talking!!!
Fantastic analysis!! The way you talked about contentment, your grandfather, and subtle details in the film were eye opening, and I am so glad I stumbled across this video. I'm calling it - this video will get famous!
This is so well done! Thank you. I even cried for your sharing your personal story and how it aligns to my most favorite movie ever!!!! 👏👏👏✌️🍾💛🤗 Hooray for PawPaw!
This video randomly came up in my feed, but I want you to know that it has inspired me in a time where I have been struggling with a lot of doomer style distaste for the world. While not the first time I've been introduced the general ideas of contentment this stands out as a digestible and understandable video I can share with others on how I am beginning to feel about existing in today's world while not carrying harmful ideological baggage about apathy and passivity. Thank you for making this video.
@@noorrefai4639 of course! It’s nothing special but here you go :) I have spend years trying to define myself, opening every door I can, to see what path is on the other side. To see what path that would define me. And after thousands of doors I opened, and dozens of hours of crying because I didn’t know what I was, something new happened. A door was opened for me. You held the door and I realized what I really am. I am loved.
@aidan8492 Genuinely beautiful, definitely something special. I'm probably reading into it too much lol, but does the line "you held the door" refer to an external person (friend or partner) opening our eyes to the fact that we are loved, or is it the self-actualization/ -realization that leads us to the same epiphany? Either way, thank you for sharing :D
My home-town ("Reinickendorf") honours a mythical creature, also a fox, who in a story is also judged out of jealousy for being intelligent. I can therefore sympathy a great lot with this film.
i know it’s been two years since you uploaded this video but i just wanted to comment on how well this video essay is written and edited, i bet your grandpa would be proud
Your grandfather's attitude reminds me of the song "Sultans of Swing" by Dire Straits: "And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene, he's got a daytime job, he's doin' alright. He can play the honky tonk like anything, saving it up Friday night." I want to view my creative pursuits that way too. I don't need to hit the big time, if I can just make a room full of people happy, that's a-ok
I’ve going trough rough times Im glad that I’ve seen this in my recommendations I really thought that feeling misserable was the only way of living, now I think I’ll see the life in a more “fantastic” way Tky for the video and for the loving history of your Grandfather(RIP)
Wow, what a masterpiece of a TH-cam video. Thanks for sharing your grandfather with us and an insightful analysis on one of my all time favorite movies. 👏👏👏
i’m at a loss for words, thank you. I’ve watched my fair share of video essays on this movie but you contextualized it in a way i’ve never felt pierce my soul so aggressively. You are amazing.
It's a bit sad and ironic that most people don't think Contentment is Happiness. It reminds me of that one scene from Pixar's Soul. A character tells a parable about a fish... This fish swims up to an older fish and says, "I'm trying to find this thing they call The Ocean." "The ocean?" says the older fish, "That's what you're in right now." "This?" says the young fish, "This is _water._ What I *_want_* is The Ocean."
i may have cried. this is genuinely one of the best video essays i've ever seen. your story about your grandfather and how you weave it into the narrative of fantastic mr. fox is truly- well- fantastic.
I really appreciate this. Thank you so much for watching!
Came here to say this. Your whole story with your grandpa tied the whole video in with such grace and emotion, you really made something special.
Couldn’t agree more. Best analysis I’ve ever seen.
Fr this was a great video, jenny really did cook
Phew I didn’t know the end would hit me that way, I just almost cried 🥹 beautifully told!
This was really awesome, RIP your grandfather.
Really moved by the quotes "do not seek happiness, seek contentment" and "sometimes giving your time to someone else, may be nothing for you, but everything for them."
'He lives in the past first' - incredible insight from the dialogue, well done!
The analogy to your grandfather (RIP) is wonderful. Personally, contentment is something tangible for me, happiness is not. But being content makes it easier to be happy, which is awesome 💯
This shit genuinely made me sit there in awe, like the way you tied everything you experienced to the movie, to the music, to the pickup on the little details in dialogue, the perfect recipe for a perfect video essay
I cried at your outro
My grandmother passed in March of 2023, just 2 months before my graduation. She was so excited to see me at my graduation and so excited to see me start college. I'm in college to be a seamstress, something she had done for many decades after losing her job. Fantastic Mr. Fox has been a comfort movie for me as of late. And your video is so amazing, please keep this up.
the fish looks to whale and asks
“do you know where I can find the ocean?”
the whale looks at him with an eye of disdain and says
“you're standing in it”
the fish says
“no this is water. what I'm looking for is the ocean”
Fantastic fox and soul have similar messages. Learn to live your life and be content.
holy shit, this is the most beautiful, touching and significant video essay I've ever watched. the way you articulate your thoughts and constructed this in such a way that flows so smoothly truly has me fascinated. how you managed to weave in the themes of the story; touching on classism, existentialism, patriarchy/toxic masculinity, along with story of you and your grandfather, so coherently is beyond me.
I don't think I'll ever be forgetting those final few words; "don't strive to be happy, strive to be content. it's more fulfilling and it lasts longer"
When I saw the title of your video, at first I was scared it was gonna be one of those “settle and keep your expectations low” kinda video, so i’m glad that wasn’t the case at all.
I totally agree with the notion that happiness/contentment is a state of mind. “Life is fantastic when we choose to view it as such” is a great line, we choose to feel happy, content and grateful for what we already have, only then we can achieve happiness, trough contentment and gratitude for the good things in life.
Once we feel content, we can also feel happy within that contentment.
Happiness isn’t something you should actively search for, but find in whithin yourself. It is a conscious choice, YOU make your life fantastic.
This is a Very good video essay, and the story of your grandpa was delightful and touching.
Ok, let's test that, Mrs Buddha. I'm punching you in the face and you're trying to be happy.
Can't believe this amazing review is not famous yet. I reckon you have explained exactly what the movie wanted to transmit.
P. D: Your grandfather was a fantastic person😁

My grandmother also passed away in my junior year of high school so the part of the video about your grandfather (and him not making it to your graduation) just opened the floodgates. I’ve been a bit emotionally numb to her death during the chaos of college and this video gave me space to cry and feel those feelings again. You’ve provided some much needed catharsis. The whole essay is brilliant, and you balance+analyze so many themes, but the way you weave your/your grandfather’s story into the narrative is so beautiful and profound❤️ Thank you
Fuck im not crying, you are. Didn"t expect to get such a hard punch to the guts right at the ending.

I need to always come back to this video...
THANK YOU🙏
That was a great analysis of the film. Fantastic Mr Fox is one of my favorite films of all time! I lost my Grandfather recently. He would’ve loved this film as well. It’s a good reminder to have gratitude in our lives. Despite our sucky jobs we can find contentment in the family we have and the friends we make along the way.

The way you tied it into your own life at the end was touching

Thank you for this, it comes at a time when we all kind of get lost in shallow goals.
I expected a little Mr fox video not a heart wrenching masterpiece with a beautiful ending 🥲
Jesus Christ those last two minutes hit me hard. Thanks for this.
I always felt like the themes in this movie were just barely grazing me as they flew overhead, and now I know because you’ve made them clear. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself, it is easily the strongest work I’ve seen in a while!
Another amazing video! Well done 👏. Those who were fortunate enough to have such amazing grandparents in our lives are luckier than we will ever know.
I'm crying this is such an amazing video essay!! Rest in peace to your grandfather 🕊🕊
you've got me tearing up; my grandfather only passed away 3 months ago, and hearing people talk about their grief and acceptance of death makes me very emotional, but oh so grateful and happy to empathise with people who completely understand how I feel; thank you for this

Wow!
That last moment with what is your dream now, it hit me.
I never felt that from any youtube video ever.
The way you explain what's behind every scene is just on point👌
Loved the video it was amazing!
This really goes to show how even a mere movie can mean the the world to someone who views it as such
may your grandfather rest in Peace ❤
This video is beautiful. I love the tie-in to your grandpa at the end. I could tell that your relationship was beautiful, too. This video is my first introduction to your channel, and I'm very excited to watch more.
Well now I’m sobbing. Thank you for a lovely little video essay and for sharing some vulnerability. May your grandfather rest in peace, with so much love.
not much more i can say that hasn't already been said. 2 years passed and your words have touched my heart; and many of those like me, to this day. truly beautiful video, thank you.
Thank you for this video, the way you described your grandpa and your relationship with him made me cry.
not only was your video incredibly insightful but i am actively tearing up at the end.
this is, no joke, the best essay i have ever seen. i'm in awe.
Loved the video. The quality of the background music took me by surprise, but then I saw y'all's LSU gear and it all clicked :) Love to see other Louisianans doing great things. Keep up the great work!
Brilliant video essay, I have a feeling I’ll keep coming back to this one
i know you posted this video 2 years ago, but this video is really is one of the best things i’ve seen on YT, not only is this my favorite movie but the theme is something i think about almost every single day, and you put my thoughts into words
I cried watching this, rest well grandpa :’). Thank you thank you for this beautiful masterpiece of a video
This essay is one that makes me re-think how I should live my life. Thank you for this wonderful essay. May your grandpa rest im peace
I feel like the more I hear people discuss this film, the more I find it profound in the amount of good will it carries
The best thing I seen in the last couple of months. I want to remake this in my mother tongue if I ever become a content creator. Thanks for this video.
This was a very good video, very entertaining and thought provoking, makes me want more of your content.
Jesus out out of left field with that wisdom and then I CRIED at the parallel to your grandfather so thanks for that. He sounds like he was a great man. I'm in a band, it's my dream, but my dream is the 'success' version, not the contentment one. This essay planted the idea that maybe I'm looking for happiness in the wrong place. Thanks
This movie changed my approach to life so much.
I cried, yes. This has to be the best Wes Anderson essay i've ever seen. You have a fantastic ability of putting concepts into words, I loved how you narrated and the story about your grandpa was very touching ❤ Subscribing now. Keep creating, keep talking!!!
Fantastic analysis!! The way you talked about contentment, your grandfather, and subtle details in the film were eye opening, and I am so glad I stumbled across this video. I'm calling it - this video will get famous!
I'm not crying, you're crying 😊😢😢 What a well written, timeless dedication of a video I found☆ take care!
You know the video about to be bussin when the TH-cam survey pops up beforehand.
idk why i got this recommended to me, but thank you youtube, thank you so much
Absolutely touching and beautiful! Wonderful message that I felt I needed to hear. Thank you for making this! ❤🙏
I teared up at the end. What an eye opening video

One of the most thoughtful beautiful things I've experienced, thank you for making this. Rest in peace to all the dope grandpas. I definitely cried.

Eu não estava esperando esse final, que vídeo excelente! Tô aqui controlando a emoção e as lágrimas no elíptico, que saudades do meu vô 😢
i put this on to listen to it while i washed dishes and oh my i was not expecting to full on cry. this was so beautiful ❤
My favourite movie ever. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
This video randomly came up in my feed, but I want you to know that it has inspired me in a time where I have been struggling with a lot of doomer style distaste for the world.
While not the first time I've been introduced the general ideas of contentment this stands out as a digestible and understandable video I can share with others on how I am beginning to feel about existing in today's world while not carrying harmful ideological baggage about apathy and passivity.
Thank you for making this video.
Love this video essay. Love the analysis. Love the music choice. Love the personal tibbit at the end. Love you.
This was truly beautiful and sincerely underrated. I know it doesn’t mean much, but this video inspired me to write a poem.
Heartwarming comment on an equally heartwarming video :)
Do you mind sharing it when you finish it?
@@noorrefai4639 of course! It’s nothing special but here you go :)
I have spend years trying to define myself, opening every door I can, to see what path is on the other side.
To see what path that would define me.
And after thousands of doors I opened, and dozens of hours of crying because I didn’t know what I was, something new happened.
A door was opened for me.
You held the door and I realized what I really am.
I am loved.
@aidan8492 Genuinely beautiful, definitely something special.
I'm probably reading into it too much lol, but does the line "you held the door" refer to an external person (friend or partner) opening our eyes to the fact that we are loved, or is it the self-actualization/ -realization that leads us to the same epiphany?
Either way, thank you for sharing :D
@@noorrefai4639 it was meant as an external person but I love your interpretation :)
This video did a really great job at emotionally moving me towards the end 😭
You sound just like Daria!!! If anyone remembers that show!! What a beautiful video
I’ve watched countless video essays on this one movie, but this video truly touched my soul. Thankyou.
What a Certified Angus banger of a video essay.
Not me crying 😢 thank you for passing on this incredible lesson
My home-town ("Reinickendorf") honours a mythical creature, also a fox, who in a story is also judged out of jealousy for being intelligent. I can therefore sympathy a great lot with this film.
i know it’s been two years since you uploaded this video but i just wanted to comment on how well this video essay is written and edited, i bet your grandpa would be proud
Your essay surely does grasp the whole message of the movie -to live in contentment in order to be happy.
Damn. This video is perfect. I’m sorry about your grandpa, but I’m glad that you found ways to have him close to you. Thank you for the video.
Its my fault i was procrastinating work on a thursday morning and now here i am sitting eating breakfast and sobbing. so beautiful.
Your grandfather's attitude reminds me of the song "Sultans of Swing" by Dire Straits: "And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene, he's got a daytime job, he's doin' alright. He can play the honky tonk like anything, saving it up Friday night." I want to view my creative pursuits that way too. I don't need to hit the big time, if I can just make a room full of people happy, that's a-ok
What a beautiful and fantastic surprise this video was. Thank you. ❤
I’m not crying, you’re crying!
Thanks for the video! I enjoy this movie and always wondered what exactly it all meant.
I’ve going trough rough times Im glad that I’ve seen this in my recommendations I really thought that feeling misserable was the only way of living, now I think I’ll see the life in a more “fantastic” way
Tky for the video and for the loving history of your Grandfather(RIP)
Wow, what a masterpiece of a TH-cam video. Thanks for sharing your grandfather with us and an insightful analysis on one of my all time favorite movies. 👏👏👏
🥃 to your Grandfather. He sounded very cool.
I'm glad Mr.Fox didn't become Heisenberg
The absolute guttural sob that came out of me during the outro surprised me. This was the most beautifully written video essay I’ve ever seen.
i’m at a loss for words, thank you. I’ve watched my fair share of video essays on this movie but you contextualized it in a way i’ve never felt pierce my soul so aggressively. You are amazing.
It's a bit sad and ironic that most people don't think Contentment is Happiness.
It reminds me of that one scene from Pixar's Soul. A character tells a parable about a fish...
This fish swims up to an older fish and says, "I'm trying to find this thing they call The Ocean."
"The ocean?" says the older fish, "That's what you're in right now."
"This?" says the young fish, "This is _water._ What I *_want_* is The Ocean."
This really moved me. Thank you so much. You reminded me of special memories with my own grandfather, and of some of the unique things he taught me. ❤
