      one thing you mentioned about "jack being more evil than the embodiment of death" go me thinking. i dont think death was supposed to be portrayed as "evil" as much as he was "inevitable". meaning that, he is terrifying, but because you know there is nothing you can do to stop him. no amount of begging, fighting, wishing, or magic will stop death. when he decides to come after you, its only a matter of time.

      The cool part at the end is that EVERYONE gets a happy ending, (except Jack Horner but f*** him) including the Star. The star goes back up into the sky. If someone had made a wish, the star would be used up, but because no one did, the star gets to return to where it belongs. On the Moviestruck podcast, Red from Overly Sarcastic Productions called this "the happier ending than you thought of."

      Regarding those who think that Kitty didn't show up at the wedding, here are my thoughts on why I think she absolutely did show up:
      1) She spends the first half of the movie clearly being pissed at Puss for something, and by the way that he grabbed her by the tail, it's clear that they know each other more than simple acquaintances (hinting at a deeper relationship)
      2. From seeing how she double-crossed Goldi and the bears, we know that she's more than willing to lie if she seems it necessary
      3. Kitty's wish, as shown by the map, is all about companionship, so why wouldn't she show up at the wedding (as marriage is often seen as the ultimate companionship)
      4. She overhears Puss tall about Santa Caloma with Perrito and how much he regrets it, which clearly affects her by the look in her eyes (which thus hints at the reality of what he did vs them double-crossing each other)
      5. If she didn't show up, how would she know that Puss didn't show up (i.e. being left at the altar implies that you're at the altar in the first place)
      6. If she didn't show up, wouldn't that make her a bit of a hypocrite, and thus lessen the severity of Puss' wrongdoing?
      Which then leads me to why she would lie about not showing up
      1. She is helping Puss not to wallow in self-loathing, since she can already see that he's sorry
      2. She's making the point about why would she want to show up for "that guy" (i.e. Puss' narcissistic legendary self), and acknowledging how much she's seen him change
      I hope this is a sufficient explanation for that particular sequence, because that seems to be where most people are confused with this movie.
      Either way, this movie is still amazing 😍😁😍
      Edit: On a separate note, for those who say that, "Well, she has trust issues, so that's why she didn't show up," riddle me this: Where did those trust issue COME FROM? Because when you look back at the ending of the first PUSS IN BOOTS movie, they were more than trusting of each other at that point (even kissing each other behind Puss' hat). Compare that to the beginning of this movie, and she absolutely despises his guts, so SOMETHING had to have happened for her to feel so betrayed by him (which wouldn't work if she was not there for him to betray).
      In any case, so glad you got to review this masterpiece Cinemawins. Still hoping for your Shrek and Transformers series reviews 😁

    Two details I liked you didn't mention:
    - when the introduction poster of Goldie and the bears gets torn, it says "Want Family", hinting at Goldie's wish.
    - during his last fight against Puss, Death rips his cloak, damages his boot, gets rid of his hat and disarms him of his sword. He damages everything that makes him Puss in Boots in the story, only for Puss to get saved by the one item that he's not supposed to have.

    • @g.snapdragon9817
      @g.snapdragon9817 Год назад +578

      Great catches! I would also add the detail: at the end of his fight with Death, Puss let’s out a small sigh, animated in a way that you can clearly see he is still shaken. I like how genuine that was, it demonstrates that he really did evolve past his “fearless” persona, highlighting how courageous you can be, if you let yourself feel fear and do something while scared anyway.

    • @Zenyx64
      @Zenyx64 Год назад +241

      God I'm just still absolutely flabbergasted at just how utterly flawless this movie is.
      Your second detail was something I never even saw, but it makes sense. Death, in these actions, directly shaped puss's journey; his journey of leaving his fearless but peerless life behind to make connections with others in his life, and in the end it's the physical manifestation of the relationships he's formed throughout this journey of self re-invetion - the gatito blade he received as a token of forming a genuine bond with Kitty - that saves him from Death.
      One last thing I wanted to point out; expanding upon the detail in the bar scene where puss is drinking his ninth glass, he asks the bartender to bring him another heavy one from the back as his last call. He's at the end of his 9 lives and his last call will soon be to wish for more.
      However, the bartender never comes back to bring him that 10th glass - just like how Puss eventually decides not to wish for any more lives.

    • @blockedblock5203
      @blockedblock5203 Год назад +127

      Another detail no one talks about:
      When Mama is talking to Goldi in that brightly-colored forest with the pink trees, just as Mama starts trying to get Goldi to reveal her wish the two slowly pass under a shadow of a tree gradually darkening the scene and draining the bright color out of it, hinting that Goldi's hiding something serious.
      But when Goldi switches topics to move the conversation away from such a touchy subject they come out from being under the shadow and everything lightens back up again with Goldi once more distracting Mama with the prospect of 'catch Puss to get the map and we'll get the wish'
      It's absolutely intentional and perfectly timed, helping hint at something in a very non-obvious way making the viewer feel that shift subconsciously.

    • @blockedblock5203
      @blockedblock5203 Год назад +120

      Oh and another: Kitty's main musical cue is three notes of distorted electric guitar. You can hear it when she opens her eyes while hiding in the treasure chest, when her wanted poster is shown, and throughout her fight with Jack's henchmen in the pie factory.
      If you listen to the music during Puss' final fight with Death when Puss blocks Death's sickle swing using the 'gatito blade', you'll hear Kitty's three notes of distorted electric guitar, since that blade was hers before she gave it to Puss.

    To me the most mind-blowing fact is, that Death was present when Puss was fighting the giant. We later hear, that he was present at all of Puss' deaths. But it's still crazy how Death actually stood there in the crowd, clearly visible, and yet we completely missed him, because we see the events from Puss' perspective and as such are completely unaware of the presence of Death.

    One of my favorite details about him "Never being touched by a blade" is in the scene where Kitty shaves him, it's shown as a moment of vulnerability as he's asking for her help, as she uses a blade to cut the beard. While the scene with Death is definitely the more obvious intention for that line, you can also interpret it as he's never allowed himself to be vulnerable on that level before

    I have been studying this movie. There are so many hidden things... so many... Here are a few missed. If you pause at the Goldie and three bears wanted poster their portraits carve out the words "Want Family". Perrito's map is actually very dark and disturbing. "Pocket full of posies" being the plague. River of relaxation being the river styx. The field of quick and easy solutions being suicide. The map itself for that location even has what are called "Hangman's trees". Goldies outfit changes over the course of the movie to more brown and bear like. This is probably my favorite movie in the last few years.

    About Death's whistle, it's such an amazing addition because the emotions it makes you feel change based on your perception of it. When we are young and boastful and completely unaware of death's importance in our lives, it sounds haunting, terrifying... you can feel your heart beat faster whenever you hear it and your fight or flight instinct kick in.
    But imagine you're old now. You're 85, maybe 90 years old... you've lived a life full of love, grief, wins, losses, up, downs, stories abound and memories galore. But as you're sitting on your front porch and the night sky above you is so quiet that you can't even hear the wind, you feel weary. Tired. Content. And then... you hear it. The whistle no longer feels haunting or terrifying, but rather comforting.

And then I watched it and it turned out to be one of my favorite animated movies. Definitely in the top 10 and I think it is arguably better than the first Shrek movie.

    4:35 This moment represents a bit of a running theme throughout the movie with Death's appearances. It's not just Puss hallucinating out of trauma, Death appears every time Puss is in a potentially life-threatening situation, as if Puss is processing in that moment that he could die there. It really drives home the feeling of paranoia that Puss feels, and obviously makes Death that much scarier of a villain.

      I think Disney is overrated. I love DreamWorks because they’re not afraid to put quite a bit of spice. I love The Last Wish. But wanted to give an honorable mention. The first Puss in Boots movie opened with a one night stand scene. They know sex and relationships are an important part of life and they don’t water it down for children. They don’t worry what parents will think. They don’t try to preach at you. Their characters take risks, break rules, And I love that. Because it’s reality.

    Detail you missed in the Cave of Lost Souls, when the Wolf smashes the past lives:
    -He calls the smell of fear "intoxicating", and smashes the drunkard.
    -He easily pushes over the strongman with just one paw.
    -He smashes the gambler when he protests "That's cheating!"
    -Several of the more arrogant ones are smashed without ceremony or even getting a final word in.
    -The Fearless Hero tells Puss to run for his life, right before the Wolf finishes him.

      There's so much more to unpack in that sequence. Not only what you mentioned were right, but I'll add up to the list:
      - Death talks about past lives behind the gazpacho soul, the first life to die. The gazpacho soul also shows a grim display of spitting the soup before being broken.
      - Playing an instrument and dancing are skills usually utilized in tandem with each other. Death breaks both the instrumentalist and dancer souls simultaneously.
      - The purple soul held a hand mirror upon being introduced. Death breaks the mirror soul without smashing it with his sickles. You can kinda draw a similarity from this with mirror-based superstitions.
      - The yellow soul is the first introduced in the cave, and the last to be broken. It is also most likely represents Puss' 8th life.

    I'm glad you referred to Death as a villain, I get tired of people saying he's not, that hes "trying to teach Puss a lesson". At the end of the final fight, the spanish line the wolf says is "why the hell did I have to go and play with my food?". He fully intended on terrifying and killing Puss, and the only reason he didn't is because his own rules kept him from doing so. 100% a villain, and 100% the scariest animated villain

There’s nothing satisfying about killing “puss the humbled hero who has a healthy understanding of his own mortality”

      Okay, this will likely sound silly but what if the personification of Life is... Perrito? He gets adversities thrown at his face all the time, and yet he THRIVES in good company and just passionately WANTS to live. He was drowned, ababdoned, probably beaten and rejected for all his existence and yet look how cheerful he is, bringing joy, calm and wisdom to the ones he loves. He doesn't act mean nor threatening to even the bad guys, dang it! He just loves spending time with his friends and wants the best outcome not just for him, but for everybody.
      I also love the idea of Perrito being Life because almost no one values him at first. We are usually unaware of how precious life is. It's only when Puss sees the value of his last life and the role all his friends have in it, that he starts to see Perrito in a truly good light. Let's not forget how Perrito is portrayed as a dog, one of the animals that are universally known for their enthusiasm and liveliness.

  • @InkyDustMan
    @InkyDustMan Год назад +76

    Honestly, as someone who who following this movie, decided to dig in and find as many details and nods and call backs and themes as possible-
    I'm a little bit peeved that he managed to not just do all of them, but also add in a ton more that I never noticed.
    There's really only one detail that's my favorite that he didn't touch on, but really it's my own personal theory/headcannon.
    Death and Perrito are the only two true canines in the movie, and either by coincidence or design, they're basically two sides of the same coin, with opposing traits, yet the same overall point.
    Death is an antagonist, Perrito is a supporting character.
    Death is a big imposing wolf with a lot of angular and sharp features, Perrito is a cute, small puppy with a big round belly.
    Perrito's eyes are normal blue eyes with pupils larger and rounder than anyone else in the cast I think, Death has these piercing red eyes with the most focused and tiny pupils in the cast with what should be the whites of his eyes being pitch black instead.
    Death literally states he's not a cat person, Perrito was literally pretending to be a cat and essentially went out of his way and put himself in dangerous situations for his two new best friends who originally didn't want to be his friend, who are both cats.
    They're almost polar opposites in temperament, personality, design, every last detail of them is directly opposing each other, except for two things.
    One, as mentioned before, they're both the only true dogs in this movie.
    And two, their thesis statement is the same, they both want Puss (and by extension it's implied everyone), to appreciate the life he has more and to not mindlessly throw it away, but for Death it's born out of a deep hatred and resentment for Puss' arrogance and he's willing to throw away so many lives so frivolously, where Death is implied to have no choice but to reap those who fight for their every last moment. While for Perrito it's born out of genuine interest in Puss' wellbeing and in the hopes that he'll make the most of what he has instead of always chasing MORE without ever being satisfied.
    This brings me to my last point of where I believe they are opposites of the same coin, as seemingly as a throwaway joke for Death, he clarifies in his reveal that he's not theoretically or poetically, or metaphorically or rhetorically, or any other fancy way Death, he's literally death straight up-
    Following the theming of the two being polar opposites, it would imply, and also prove, that Perrito is in fact the voice of the embodiment of Life, but in all the fancy ways in which Death isn't.
    They're both linked in concept, while being opposites in every other way.
    This is even reinforced by the fact that Perrito has had MULTIPLE near-death experiences, and yet has always survived, it makes me wonder if Death in some way may have taken pity on Perrito in the same way he's breaking what seems to be the rules to punish Puss. Which would make sense since Perrito is seemingly Death's "ideal" mortal, while being the exact opposite to Puss in many ways.
    You can even see this in the name's of Perrito's path locations. Which, while not necessarily a reflection of his insecurities like everyone else, IS a reflection of something about Perrito, which is his relationship with the concept of Death, through near death experiences. Every location on Perrito's path is actually subtly tied into the concept of death in some way either thematically or literally.
    "The Pocketful of Posies" is a reference to the somewhat creepy children's nusery rhyme which is frequently cited as literally being about plague doctor's stuffing the pockets of their dead patients with flowers, the "ashes ashes" part is a reference to cremation, and "we all fall down" is literally a reference to the fact that we all eventually die.
    "The River of Relaxation" actually has two meanings, one symbolic of the River Styx where dead souls are ferried to the underworld, but also to Perrito's own personal life story where he nearly died when he was stuffed in his signature sock and thrown into a river.
    And last but not least "The field of Quick and Easy Solutions" seems to be a reference to an analogy that's frequently made referring to suicide, the idea that if life is unbearable, it doesn't last forever and there's always an out.
    Literally everything that Death ISN'T, is a reference to what Perrito IS, and everything that Perrito IS, is a reference to Death himself.
    It also is all neatly tied up in the fact that, the deciding factor in whether Puss lived or died in the end, is the fact he took influence and inspiration from Perrito to learn how to truly live again.
    Perrito is the guiding voice for Puss to not BEAT Death, since no one beats Death, which is a fact Perrito also proves in the meaning behind his path, but to be deemed worthy enough by Death to give him a chance to, as Death puts it-
    "Life your life Puss In Boots, Live it well..."

    I feel like The Last Wish borrowed a lot from Pixar's "Soul" in terms of its theme.
    But honestly, I think that was a good idea. "Soul" had an incredibly strong theme/message, and so did The Last Wish.

    This movie is just simply amazing. The animation, the characters, the arcs they go through, the story, the lessons and the fact that it’s a film for both kids and adults while also treating kids like adults. This movie is a perfect example that studios’ best films don’t have to be from the beginning of their careers or their earlier works. When the studios really try, when they really make the effort, they are still capable of making masterpieces. And like I said, this is a perfect example. It’s basically another addition to the Shrek universe, but it shows that sometimes more can be a good thing.
    Even after a decade of not playing him, Antonio Banderas still knocks it out of the park as Puss in Boots and he sounds like he’s having a blast playing the fun scenes but also knows how to tone it down for the more serious and emotional scenes. If it wasn’t for this movie, I don’t think a lot of people would remember that Salma Hayek was in this franchise because Kitty wasn’t that interesting but this time she’s done a lot better. The new characters are also great. Perrito is a great side character with a dark as hell backstory who thankfully never really overstays his welcome. Goldilocks is a great sympathetic character who has a great story about learning the meaning of family. The three bears are good in their own ways. Jack Horner is a excellent villain who’s a great example of irredeemable. He’s evil, he knows it and he’s fine with it. Plus he’s hilarious thanks to John Mulaney. Death is simply brilliant with how menacing he is. I personally didn’t know who he was until he revealed his identity to Puss but when he did, I was actually shocked. I couldn’t believe that’s how far the writers were going with this kids movie and I was definitely ok with it. He had have the least amount of screen time, but stole every scene he was in with his whistle and voice and just by the fact of how terrifying he was.
    It’s not just the characters and their stories that are great. The animation is amazing. You can compare it to Spider-Man Into the Spider Verse but there is also a connection and a difference between them. If you pause some scenes from Into the Spider Verse, it looks like it’s from a comic book but for The Last Wish it looks like it’s from a painting or a poster.
    The messages and lessons are very mature for a kids movie as it goes into death, life and mortality but like I said it’s a movie for both kids and adults while also treating kids like adults. I really hope we get more animated movies like this one.
    I heard we might be getting a fifth Shrek movie and I don’t know how it’ll go or turn out but if something happens that changes plans, let’s get a third Puss in Boots movie instead because well look how great this one is. Definitely one of the best animated movies 2022 has given us.

    @SaiyanSweetheart45 7 месяцев назад +2

    Yes! Yes! Yes! To all of it. I loved the animation, Perrito in general, the Bears and Goldi being Cockney, and while it was a definite mood whiplash, Puss's panic attack was spot on. As someone who's prone to panic attacks, they captured exactly how they feel (to me anyway) the world around you goes muffled, your cheat tightens, the loudest thing is your heart beating, almost literally in your ears. And yes, I've had that feeling that my skull was going to explode. And I've actually had a dog do as Perrito did and lay his head on my stomach to help me come back to reality (The dog is Yohan and he's my good boy and has been since I got him as a puppy twelve years ago)
    And not gonna lie, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when Perrito tells his backstory, so I just did both. Honestly 2022 was a tough year and this film just really ended a tough year on a good note

    1:04 honestly I don't think it is learning the wrong lesson from Spiderverse by any means, I think the art style of the movie matches totally it's purpose and bring this fairytale book coming to life style, already established by the movie introduction. I think it's too soon to be worried about it, Pixar has been perfecting their realistic style since 3D was made, but I get that every movie needs to have an unique and free style, not just copying, this movie here is very unique tho. This movie is pretty, well-written and it deserves to be. Unexpected masterpiece.

    fun little thing about death's whistle is I'm pretty sure it's a nod to El Silbon or "The whistler" who is a legendary figure in Colombia. they say when his whistling sounds close you are safe and he is far away but when the whistling is distant he is actually nearby and is a foretelling of ones death, the only way to ward him off is the sound of a dog barking, a chili, or a whip. He also targets mostly womanizers and drunkards.

    It's amazing to me how well this franchise has done given that, like he said in the video, it's a sequel to a spinoff of the sequel to Shrek. And Shrek, for all intents and purposes, was set up to not do very well from the start. There's a couple interviews where the DreamWorks team talk about being sent to work on Shrek as punishment for performing poorly on other movies

    I love how death left him alone all the time he was hiding. He cared not to kill some defeated husk of a cat. No, he wanted to cut down the legend of Puss in Boots. The moment he begins grandstanding again, calling out his name, Death is instantly there. He never lost him, not once, all he was doing was waiting for the inevitable return of Puss in Boots revealing himself once he begins his “Legend” again.

    Shrek’s version of Pinocchio didn't have a pair of evil con-men, neither an evil puppeteer or a coachman who abused his magical nature. It was his own father, ignoring his son to count his money. *The worst part:* by the time Shrek rolled around, said father willfully abandons his son under the new rules.

  • @Trailing-Feathers
    @Trailing-Feathers Год назад +3

    A detail I wish was mentioned is how Kitty and Puss finally fully trust each other in the end, especially Kitty completing her arc. When Kitty is shaving his beard, you can see Kitty in Puss's eye reflection, showing his love and trust in her, seeing as he is "Never being touched by a blade" he is vulnerable with Kitty, as she uses a blade to cut the beard. Kitty doesn't have him in her eyes, showing while she obviously cares for him she is not at that level yet to trust him. In most other moments there eyes have soft stars when they look at each other, not a full trusting moment and more admiration for each other, kinda showing how they don't really need the wish since they should appreciate having their lives together (example being them regaining the map and falling together holding it). Then in the end, they both are now reflected in each others eyes, the first time Kitty has Puss reflected in her eyes, showing the full trust they now have in each other. It's subtle but I think beautiful.
    Thank you for making this video!

    As someone Prone to Panic Attacks I can confidently say that the way they portrayed Panic Attacks in the movie impressed me, since it’s very hard to describe what it’s like when I’m trying to explain it so I often use that scene as an example. Also a wholesome addition, a student in my school who didn’t even know me noticed that I was having a panic attack during a drill that I was afraid was real and from this movie they knew what it looked like so they knew they needed to get a teacher to help me. I thanked that kid very profusely.

    Man, feels kinda weird to say this is the movie that hit me hardest recently. Seeing Puss go through his arc really helped me realize some stuff. I’d always tried to be a larger-than-life figure, went to a hotshot fire crew and backcountry crew, was lead sawyer. But I only did it because I needed to feel like a legend, because who am I if I’m not the badass who can power through anything you toss at him?

    What's very interesting is that Jack's summation of his "backstory" doesn't match what we see in the flashback (his parents don't seem to be terribly loving and their baked goods enterprise is run out of a run-down wagon).
    Throughout the rest of the film, he's very clear that he is the person he is and does what he does _entirely because he wants to be_ - he's basically trolling the Ethical Bug.
