My friend, you missed the entire point of that scene. It was meant to mimic the stereotypical war movie that glorifies it, and a statement of the war on terror as a whole. First, the rocket. One of their buddies gets injured, so they set out on the warpath to avenge him, they come in with their light armor and machine guns and shoot up a small car of insurgents. However, they almost get blown up by a rocket immediately, a sign that their revenge may end up costing them their lives. Secondly, the damage to the humvees. After they kill the insurgents, they ram their humvee into their quite small car, and the viewer almost expects them to obliterate the car given that the one they’re driving is huge and armored, but their car actually suffers significant damage from crashing into the little old car they had, as well as the wall. The expensive and state of the art humvee was damaged by a car that was much cheaper and outdated, signifying the suffering of the US military against the insurgents. Third, the death of the SEAL. In the middle of their mission one of the SEALs suffers a mortal wound, one that was beginning to be antiwar. The whole scene was meant to flip the prowar gimmick on its head, not to glorify war at all. It is an anti war film, just misunderstood.

I was suddenly struck by a depressed listlessness yesterday, at the end of my weekend. I didn’t want to do anything, not even any of the things that I normally love doing. So I decided to put on something I know I love in the background while I make food. I put on _The Secret World of Arrietty,_ which is one of my personal favorites of Ghibli, but I feel like as often underrated and overlooked, even in this age of Ghibli love on the Internet. It’s such a simple, beautiful slice of life story, and it’s absolutely full of moments of _ma._ I especially love the _ma_ moments with rain, and this is a very rainy movie. 😂 As I listened to/watched it as I made food, the listless mood completely lifted, and it made me feel again, as Ghibli films always do, that the small moments in life, like preparing food and resting, are beautiful and elegant and worth being in the moment. Worth really feeling. The rest of my evening was lovely. I put on soft music on my record player, dimmed the lighting, and read a book. My peace was restored. That’s what their movies do for me. Thank you for capturing it so well in this little video essay! I love it.

One of the most special, gorgeous, ridiculous, I mean it’s everything all in one. Just an absolute masterpiece of storytelling and filmmaking. It’s so unique and unlike anything out there. An experience everyone should have at least once if not many more

People who hate this film because they find farting immature are missing the entire point of the movie haha

American Sniper is not a patriotic movie. It talks about the dangers of commitmente and patritiscm. How self distruvting it can be for a man and his family to place the wight of a nation on his shoulders. You clearly did not get the movie. And if you are gonna say that thats a very american opinion, well. Im not american I'm actually extremly anti war.

sound is super low here

french movies from 60-70tiés- sometimes also make these gaps- room for your own ideas- that might be very diff for all the viewers.. Moderne fu ilm- show you only what they want you to se ande think- and then they go further-no pause. Kurosawa from japan had the MA as well..gives al the ambiance- just your own ambiance -The person next to you- has another mind and therefor makes another story-his own--fills in the emty space he has for just theese thaughts that is how everybody sinks in in there own way..

I don’t often have to gather my thoughts after a movie, but what a rollercoaster this one is. The soundtrack is amazing and all throughout you’re thinking “Dafook..?” while it feels so heartwarming

I learned to love myself more from this movie , totally masterpiece!

This video was amazing, you deserve way more subs then you have considering the quality of this novie

When I first saw the trailer for this movie when I was younger I always wanted to watch it and I finally did. This movie was not only incredibly unique but it had a lot of good messaging. I think it could’ve been better in some ways but I still think it was a very well done movie that was really fun and I hope we get more different movies like this

Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles and madness in this world today, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] - (AMPLIFIED version) NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus. Xx

This is my comfort movie. I’d 100% recommend listen to the sound track on headphones. so beautiful.

Pay attention to the little girl. She is the embodiment of what it means to be free. She didn't prejudge, categorize, or alienated the two. Be like children.

There is nothing wrong with being patriotic!

4 years late is better than never. Thank you so much for this analysis, it is difficult to find people who feel this way about this beautiful film.

Appreciating the value of "quiet contemplation" is an aspect of Japanese culture that is so unfamiliar to Americans - being from both cultures it's really hard to explain to them but films like this help convey the message.

Bravo 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This video is a masterpiece, I think it captures perfectly the essence of Myazaki's films

I think Porco Rosso is painfully underrated.

Great analysis. One thing I would point out for making your future videos: decrease the volume of the background music so we can hear your voice clearer.

Thank you for this, I’ve been searching for a way to articulate this feature of Mr. Miyazaki’s work, a feature that I enjoy so much, and now I have it: ‘Ma’.

I was totally put off by the premise of the movie for exactly the reasons you mentioned. The glorification of a sniper made me very uncomfortable and I didn't want to see how it was portrayed because I knew I would be extremely subjective and judgmental right from the off.

This is an underrated movie, and I can understand why it isn't very popular. This analysis addressed all of my thoughts perfectly and I will forever consider this movie a hidden gem. Thank you for this short analysis it was delightful.

This is fantastic! I'm teaching my students about negative space and Ma in images - I'll use this as a perfect example of the spirit of Ma

I think one other movie has done something like this would be “Jurassic Park”. There’s a few scene where it lead to nothing but always in riches the characters. Like where they see the triceratop, or when Timmy find the night vision binocular, or where Dr. Salter looking with the Dino dropping. I feel that I got to know characters more from those scene.

5:57 was the reaction of mainstream audiences.

This film was never pro war propaganda. That has got to be the most shallow interpretation of this film.

Why do I still see Harry Potter?

Thank you so much for this, this "feeling" was something I have been trying to put into words for a long time. Now I know :) great video!

This is brilliant. Well done!

Manny for life! ❤️

Thank you for this. Many people see this film, just like sequence of farts and silly jokes . But it´s unbelievable how many metaphors on today society are hidden in this picture.

Great Video! I completely agree with you, even if I can enoy this movie, regardless of all the patriotism. But its not the masterpiece I expected from someone like Clint Eastwood. But the most dangerous of all, I think, is the celebration of people like Chris Kyle and his kill count. Cant imagine someone like him embody such a hero, in other western civilzations. At least not in Germany, where I live.

I watched half a dozen explanation videos and a couple of interviews before seeing this excellent analysis, which was the best of them all. Thank you!

I'd like to think I have a special connection with Hank. I've been through some of the things he has, some obvious, some things are going missed that only a person like me might notice. This film deals with real life matters that make people uncomfortable, which says a lot about every human being. Recurring themes of rejection, and infatuation are visited and revisited in monologue and behavior. In life, many people spend their whole lives avoiding uncomfortable topics that shape us through our whole life, and these are the people discarding this masterpiece. It's important to recognize that Hank has lost his battle with sanity. He's grappled with the notion of suicide repeatedly, and has grown up with the fantasy that a "happily ever after" life is just around the corner. (Most of us are indoctrinated on this concept by loving parents). The more desperate Hank is to have it, the more disconnected he becomes with reality. The death of his mother has caused a tremendous rift between himself and his father, in which both are unable to recover. [Trust me this movie is more about the death of his mother than anything]. Sexual desire has always played a negative role on Hank. This was likely passed from his father when his father was unable to cope after his mother died, and repressed all natural sexual urges on to Hank. Hank grew up through puberty disgusted with his own body, and meeting rejection from every girl he's ever known because he's so uncomfortable with himself which is compounded by how his mother tried to explain what it means to grow into puberty before she died. Every thought he has about attraction is repressed, and he hates himself for it. His pure intentions are to find love. The trauma that has been building up within him has forced him to live daily in fantasy, and no one can relate to him anymore. He doesn't talk about his feeling/misgivings to anyone. His shame becomes so overpowering that he runs off into the forest to disappear in the hope someone will care enough to come find him (he's hoping it's his dad). He begins to live a fantasy where he hasn't run off, but is a castaway of an unexplained boat sinking on an island. {There never was an island, but he DID try to kill himself, and botched it.} He found a dead body on the shore and began talking about all of the things that were eating him up inside, that no one was there for him since his mother died years ago. At some point, either through reckless starvation and stress he completely loses his grip on reality, and imagines Manny has come to life. But something happens in the cave and some things Manny does ARE REAL. Hank is so out of touch with reality, he can't tell the difference anymore. He begins to heal by becoming a mentor to Manny. (WHO IS ACTUALLY HIS GUARDIAN ANGEL). I believe Manny is actually the spirit of his mother. Manny and Hank begin to talk only about the things that are causing him so much pain. Especially his pure intentions hidden behind his shame of natural things that have been taught to be vile, and repulsive (Probably by his father). He finally learns that living life, and living to the fullest involves all of those vile and repulsive things we are all conditioned to discard. He reveals that he needs his father's love to Manny and it is painstakingly obvious that the two of them never mourned the death of Hank's mother together. The whole climax of the movie is a truly sad one. Hank talks about the virtual birthday card, and his sadness is portrayed as a brutal need for his love. Manny does in fact come to life a few times to save Hank, and he is alive when he talks to Sarah's daughter. The little girl is not afraid of Manny because there is a connection of innocence. After all of the themes mentioned, and some not mentioned, Hank finally speaks to Sarah, WHICH IS THE FIRST TIME HE'S EVER ASKED FOR HELP IN HIS LIFE ~He is THAT repressed. He is really avoiding his father because their relationship is completely broken. He begins to deal with the reality of the infatuation that could have lead to real love (Sarah) has now passed. His father's character is perfectly conveyed when he shows up to identify the body (which he was told to be his son's). His father is driving an old truck that probably has sentimental ties to his wife, and he doesn't look like he's doing well. At this time I assume Hank's father's character has settled into a dead end job, and hasn't grown beyond what he was when he lost his wife. "Essentially my dad personally. Hank isn't ready to talk to his father, and is afraid of what he might say. Hank's dad goes to identify Hank's body, but absolutely can't. He's crushed, it's too much to bear. When Hank sees his father's reaction, he actually starts to feel loved, and doesn't want Manny to be unloved. He abandons his hope for himself in order to prevent Manny from being discarded. The cops, news, Sarah and Hank's father come across the things Hank has built in the forest, and his father sees the dummy Hank made of him, and realizes how much he has wasted with his relationship with his son after the death of his wife. By the time Hank is ready to let go of his fantasy, he's put himself in such a looney bin his life future will never be worth living unless he knows for himself some of the things he did were really real. He's strong enough to face his demons, but as he walks off, our guardian angel, Manny, decides to show a small gesture that Hank is not completely insane, and the magical things he's rambling on about might have actually happened. In that moment his father saw Hank in a completely different way. He never understood Hank, or nurtured him, but he wasn't ashamed of him at all despite everything that has happened. This was all his father needed to revive his relationship with his son, and be the nurturing support that Hank has been denied since the death of his mother. (Which I believe Manny, was his mother all along.). "But personally, I believe that things like that happen from time to time just out of range of our perception " MASTERPIECE

Best actual analysis (rather than simply a recap) I've seen yet. Very well done!

Someone once told me which is bigger your body or the world i answer the world and he told me then fart and don't care

Well done, thank you!

very nice vid, also are you northern irish?

5:44 Why is humanism itself not considered arbitrary or worse, a liability? Humans are, without question, the greatest predator on the face of the earth and a principle cause of much of the human mortality on earth. If we just consider the natural history of these things called humans we would see that they are essentially the environment that caused the extinction of so many megafauna as well as pre-human hominids, genocide, murder, rape and environmental degradation and this all before civilization when we get into slavery, exploitation and industrialization of many of the former enumerated processes. Given the extensive list of negative outcomes of human collaboration with other humans why should I see humanity as some locus of union or anything that could be consider prosocial? "WE are all the same" in the sense we are all capable of causing great harm to each other. Humanity is more meaningful as a sterile conception for taxonomy, I don't see it as a thing that offers any sense of stable community.

fucking amateurs

There is a certain magic to Studio Ghibli, that, after watching, for a while everything in the world seems beautiful, clear and real.

99% of any Terrance Malik movie is Ma

It's anti war. The reason the patriotism didn't reach you is because it's not meant to - it's essentially there to destroy the protagonist. And it does. Ultimately he provides an allegory for why Americans were pushed into supporting the Iraq invasion. Look at the supporting characters - everyone around him is disillusioned and he become less and less capable of participating in society. Really the film is just a study of PTSD, which is was kills the protagonist in the end.

0:57 in the words of Brad Bird "Animation is not a genre."

You sir are doing the right (subjectively) kind of movie review videos, thank you!!

it shows what life was like out there.

Great video!

Show, don't tell
