    I like how the Tail chief died. She didn't just get turned into stone and come back with the rest. She hid herself behind a fortress and slowly wasted away because she was too paranoid to trust anyone else further reinforcing the message in this movie

      I also want to point out the position of her hand. She is mimicking the stone-statue people with a "giving" gesture.
      Now, I don't know how to fully interpret this observation with how she also made herself part of the final trap of her tomb. One idea I had was that she set up that trap, but as the last moments of her life come, she realizes her utter mistake and made one final gesture to atone. Or she made that gesture on purpose to draw the tomb raider in the hopes of giving them a false sense of security (like it almost did to Sisu).

      It certainly would be a nice step forward for Disney to start teaching the younger generations, especially young women, that it’s okay, and beautiful to have imperfections. Because so many of us have grown up in a society that expects you to look perfect, and if you don’t, you’re “ugly” or “unattractive.” Its bred this whole ideology in young girls and women that’s caused disorders like anorexia and social anxiety.
      It’s okay to strive to better yourself, while still not hating or self depreciating how and who you are.

      Moana is very similar I will admit. It’s got some good action scenes and literally the rock as a demigod. But there are two things that defeat it in the end from being an action movie. One it’s a musical. Not trying to crap on the genre, but action musical won’t work. It’s why Hercules isn’t considered action. And two, the fighting and chases was a focus of Raya. So much detail goes into how Raya fights and without magic. Maui really only fights one person in the film, and it’s mostly through shapeshifting snd trickery, not full on force (in keeping with Maui of course).

    Anyone else notice just how many people the Druun wiped out? If there were 5 clans to begin with, Tail is essentially a person-less wasteland, Heart got abandoned when the Gem split, and Spine got wrecked by the Druun with only a sole survivor, there were only 2 clans left: Talon, built on the water, and Fang, walled off by water on an artificial island. That means that about 60% of the world got wiped out just by the Druun.

The slight darkening of Benja's gloves after he dips them in the water in the beginning, or the shine on Raya's hair after everyone comes back, or the way Sisu's "hair" kind of clings to her head when she does that little spin in the water. Even the shine on Raya's cheek after she wipes her tear right before she awakens Sisu. The animation in this movie is so smooth and detailed in some shots and it's beautiful the whole way through.

    "Sisu" is a word in Finnish. It doesn't translate well into English but it's basically the definition of "not giving up" and "having guts to do so". Or as a simple google search says "strength of will" But I don't think the producers knew the word existed although the word describes Sisu in the film pretty well.

I always saw dragons as majestic noble creatures that humans can look up to and be inspired by, like the most intelligent creature to ever walk the planet. I never saw them as something for humans to fear. I was born in the year of the dragon so I've always sort of identified myself with them, and as a kid I would get offended whenever I saw them portrayed negatively.

    Something I think a whole lot of people miss is that the message of the movie isn't simply about trust, it's about mutual trust. Every instance where trust turns out to be a mistake is one where the characters are interacting with people who have been told not to trust their whole lives, and in Namaari's case, she's also being manipulated/instructed by her mother, who doesn't trust the other lands. Ultimately, a lack of mutual trust created the literal apocalypse (twice, according to Sisu), but its trust that saves the world and begins the process of repairing it at the end of the film. Namaari finally decided to take a risk for someone other than Fang, and Raya and co. realized that holding onto hatred and grudges (which have kept their world back for, oh, 500 years) was only going to make things worse.
    Edit: yeah, I made this comment, like, halfway through. Thank you, Cinemawins, for addressing this issue and taking a new angle on it I hadn't seen before. Your point is honestly stronger than mine, since it faces a hard truth of life: that sometimes, trust has to go one way before it becomes mutual.

    I'm a huge sucker for dragons, and elemental type stuff where different tribes have different elements or areas they live in, so this movie got me hooked in almost instantly.
    I'm kind of glad that they didn't make Raya and Namaari into those "secret siblings" cliche because that's originally what I thought would happen.
    The scene where they all turned to stone would've really got me if the credits started to roll.

  • @pufthemajicdragon
    @pufthemajicdragon 3 ปีที่แล้ว +798

    The trust theme would be fine if it weren't so incomplete. The problem is that Namaari lacks any kind of redemption arc. She betrayed Raya, and in a way that completely destroyed the known world - not a small betrayal - and does nothing at no time ever in the film to indicate that she is deserving of a second chance. Without that redemption arc, without requiring that Namaari demonstrate *some* kind of desire to change, the trust theme is dangerous. That's how people get trapped in abusive relationships.
    The world, the real world, our world isn't suffering due to a lack of trust, it's suffering due to a lack of repentance (meaning change of heart, not even religious). Were people who caused harm more willing to admit their wrong and actively change, trust would immediately follow.

      The movie overall would have worked so much better if they had left out just the few seconds that showed Namaari’s finger on the crossbow trigger during the standoff scene. As it is, you have a point: the overall scene plays out like Sisu’s trust got her killed and Raya was right NOT to trust and just acted a little too late.
      But think about how the scene would have gone without that closeup. If her finger HADN’T been on the trigger, it would imply that she might have chosen to put the bow down-which would have made sense based on her conversation with Virana earlier in the movie, she seemed on board with the idea of bringing Sisu back and re-making the gem. Raya’s sudden, UNtrusting move to disarm her would have then been what caused the crossbow to shoot (In no expert on crossbows, but something slamming into a loaded one that’s ready to shoot could conceivably break something and/or release the tension in a way that would make the bolt launch)-in fact when I first saw the movie that’s what I thought had happened. This would make Namaari’s later line that Raya is also responsible for Sisu being shot make a lot more sense, and make the point that *sometimes*, (not always), doing things out of fear and distrust can make situations worse.

    Dunno if anyone things about this, but it really sucks that Raya's father missed like 6 YEARS of Raya's growth. That's time he'll never get back. It's like he went to sleep and she was a kid the last he saw her, and then the minute he woke up again, she was a full grown adult. Time passed for Raya, but for the chief it could have felt like the blink of an eye. That had to be so jarring, and I honestly don't think that they made that clear enough. He recognized her immediately, but I really would have appreciated some mention of 'how you've grown' or 'when did you get so big?'

    Another fun detail I love about this movie is when Raya comes up to have her final confrontation with Namaari. When she brings the stone up and repealed the Druun coming towards her, two of them are shown being repelled, showing that one life just ended so that they could replicate, meaning they had JUST killed Namarri's mom or relatively recently. This gives her even more reason to be angry and spiteful towards Raya, giving the last battle that much more tension.

    I realized something about the scene leading to the Dragon Gem breaking. All the Fang people saw the firework and immediately knew what the signal was for. This means that Namaari was NOT the only one in on the plan to steal the gem, and based on her other interactions with her mother, I doubt it was even her idea. Also, Chief Virana seems like a smart enough ruler she would have given flares and instructions to multiple people, not just her own daughter, so the plan would have more chances at succeeding. You do mention some of this at the end of the video, but I just really like when movies that give redemption arcs to the main antagonists don’t make them completely unlikeable from the start.

  • @-namekuji-1973

    My list of things I loved about this movie + my list of things that could have been changed:
    -The effects. Just the lighting of the water and tone of Raya’s skin are stupidly good animation.
    -The dragons designs. They are long fluffy magic noodles. That is just beautiful.
    -Shisu’s misunderstanding of the world around her. It makes sense that, after the last thing you remember doing o save the world is having to trust people, you would naturally think that everyone is to be trusted.
    -The angry old lady chief. Idk why. She makes me happy even tho she betrayed Shisu.
    -The FOOD EFFECTS. GOD IT MADE ME SO HUNGRY WATCHING
    -The fact that Tounge(I think??) likes the baby because he misses his own child.
    -Just seeing how the hatred had changed Raya after Shisu was killed. She was ready to kill. It added a great effect.
    -The symbolism. How, because Shisu is the last dragon, and she is a water dragon, her being killed drained the water. Water truly is ‘magical’ in this world, as it acts as protection against the Druun. Also, how when they basically become un-stoned, the rain is what washes it away. Rain is water. It is Shisus magic and trust that saves them.
    Now, things that should have been changed:
    -A better Namaari redemption arc. We didn’t have much of her in the movie. I believe that there should have been more of her realizing how corrupted the world was, and how she wanted to change it.
    -A close up of her finger off the trigger, not on. If they had showed that she was hesitating on shooting and had decided not to. If that had been shown, it would have created the impression that Namaari had finally been redeemed. However, it was Raya lashing out in her distrust that killed Shisu. I’ve operated a few crossbows, and hitting them while they are loaded DEFINITELY sets them off.
    That was all for now. I will update more later.

The only thing about it that I heard were some rumors from people on youtube saying that it wasn't that good and the main plot is boring, so my expectations weren't too high. But this movie really impressed me. I liked the story about Kumandra, the dragons and the druuns, the main characters were interesting and the side characters were funny (I think I don't need to mention the outstanding visual quality).

The animation, setting, characters, voicework, the female-lead plot that had LITERALLY all the major players as women, not something you see often...
    I searched, literally, "raya is good", wanting to see a positive reaction such as mine. The first five or six videos were "Raya is NOT a good movie" and variations of that.

    Also, when a character is mistrustful, there is a normal focus while when they embrace Sisu's point of view, there is a bokeh blur instead. By looking at this detail you can see at which moments characters start to change their mind.

    The art style of the opening is done in the shadow puppet style - in Indonesia we call it Wayang. I also love all the little details from the food (sate), to the clothing (batik), to the environment (rainforest). It's really cool to see a character who looks like me or someone I could have gone to school with on the big screen this way. If this had come out when I was growing up, it'd be my favourite movie.

    The message about trust is incredibly timely, though it's probably falling upon deaf ears among the politically inclined adults. I hope the kids who grow up after watching this movie will remember it when they're in charge of the world.

  • @flarecoils1573

    I like how the Tail Chief, the one who first spoke about how untrusting she was to heart and then body slams Raya, is found later on. While the other characters are just in the stone "sleep", Not only did she pass away, but she passed away alone, shutting everyone out with traps, and while holding the gem in the same pose the stone statues make. It immediately sets up the main resolution by showing what happens when we let fear and cowardice take control over trust and bravery. While the Droon at least give a chance to prove the good in you, lack of trust for anyone leaves you loneliness and death.
