"Then it's not about dreams fading when we wake up. It's about forgetting our real purpose when we fall asleep... it's basically a story about to people who, on occasion, briefly imagine happiness, only for it to slip away again the busyness of everyday life. Who deep down know what would truly fulfill them, yet are afraid to act on it, afraid to make themselves vulnerable." Wow, this is so profound and relatable. I've always had this feeling of something missing in my life and I'm still trying to understand myself what it is.
the key mistake people have is pursuing happiness. you cant seek it, you need to seek a healthy and fulfilling life, and focus on the happiness when it ebbs and flows. if we teach people to try to be happy all the time, of course they will feel like there is something wrong with them. thats just not how happiness works. we adapt - for better or worse - to any situation. happiness is the dessert, not the whole meal.
I think I know where you're coming from. I wasn't even able to touch that feeling, not to say give it a name, but. Once I travelled to a country I always longed to visit, this feeling faded and I was never so calm, and in touch with my own before. Well, let's say it took me 30 years to find the place I truly belong, and was always searching for without even being aware of it. ^-^
"Dreams fade when we wake up" really hits home for me. It's about living in the moment. The past is the dream and it fades as it passes us by, so you really need to stop worrying about the future or living in the past and just savour the here and now. I really want to watch this now!
I share your feelings. After two divorces and now on my third marriage, you cease to believe in soul mates. Indeed, the idea seems rediculously childish now. Rather, you 'settle' for someone who seems genuine and loving. And that has to be enough. You might think that an odd way to view marriage. But after my first marriage ended due to adultery and the second due to physical and emotional abuse, you 'settle' for this... People are so much a disappointment, especially my family who I don't talk to any more. Yet people are the only real source of happiness. A Catch 22 that is unavoidable.
I, on the other hand, had a wholesome feeling when the movie ended. I don't know why exactly. It was something about how every single person is looking for the same things I am looking for in life.
On this thanksgiving weekend, I just want to say how thankful I am to have discovered your channel two years ago and to be constantly and consistently moved to tears by your thoughtful and rewarding analysis. I love discovering new films and gaining perspectives on some of my favorites through your essays. Even when things seems so backwards and life seems to throw everything I know out of whack, your videos remind me of the beauty I’ve experienced and will continue to experience. Thank you for what you do. I happily await your next work.
This movie was so deeply moving when I first saw it. It still remains the first movie that I actually cried while watching. Also, the composition of these videos, the serenity of them, especially in talking about a movie that moved me so deeply, nearly brought me to tears again. I don't know what it is. Is it remembering that time long ago that I watched this movie? Nostalgia? Or is it just the raw beauty of the movie itself?
I think it awakens a sense of meaning deep within the human subconscious. I believe we all remember (on a subconscious level) everything we've seen and/or experienced. When we happen upon something that sparks a distant memory, whether it be from a dream or just a passing joy, our spirit/mind weeps for the forgotten moment
I think the reason i love this movie so much is because i can feel what they feel. Waking up just longing for something. The feeling that someone is out there and i could walk past them every day. Its like there's a big chunk of your body missing. like half of your soul is somewhere else. Then it hits me that ill probably never get to meet that person. And i feel like that Sadness is something most people around my age feel. Or maybe we just want to be loved. Its like a time bomb, counting down to the happiest moments of your life. But it can easily be defused.
My 2 favourites movies are Interstellar and your name, but I never really new why... Now I realise that these movies are connected. Both movies are about time and love. Both give the message that love transcends time and beat death. Both uses strings as a way to communicate through time. The struggle between traditions and modernity is important in both movies and finally the theme of the catastrophy is also present in both stories.
Still listening nandemonaiya and sparkle after three years and still feeling like a train hit me every time. The music and the film quality is beyond masterpiece for me.
Like Stories of Old videos always make me cry. Your Name always makes me cry. Now that they're fused together, a critical failure of my tear duct is near.
While I wish to have that kinda intimacy with someone, she on the other hand is afraid of such connection and I was feeling rejected. Somehow this made me realise, not everyone understand what it means to be intimate.
Thank you for this review. What a profound, heartfelt, intelligent review. And the way you presented it - your voice, the music, the structure. No funny quips because your topic doesn't need any. No memes to ruin the atmosphere. When I see a review or recap of a show I'm interested in, I listen for maybe a couple of minutes then adjust the speed to 1.5 or 1.75 and turn on subtitles. I never did that with this because this review is an experience in itself. I may be 4 years late into this video but I'm excited to browse through your catalog.
Thank you, i don't know you, but you have saved my life so many times. This video makes me feel alone and isolated, because that's what my life is, what is lack of, happiness, connections, human relationships. But just knowing that there's someone like you out there, that can relate, the feel, the essence of what makes us human, is really a comforting sentiment. Please never stop sharing your thoughts.
After watching this video, I watched the movie. Omg! No other movie has touched me the way Your Name 2016 did. Thanks for suggesting such an emotional movie
Me after watching the recommendation: Shit, this is going to make me cry but I'm ready Me after watching the video: There's no force in existence that can prevent me from crying. Dude, your videos are antidotes for my soul. I could never thank you enough.
LSOO: What makes us happy? Everyone: Your videos do! May you always be blessed with this amazing capacity to touch our souls. My mom always says that crying washes the soul and that's exactly how I feel everytime I watch one of your videos, as if my soul is renewed. Always caught up in my daily life, your videos make me pause, look inside myself and to wander about the meaning of things. Deeply grateful for that! 🙏
"to wander about the meaning of things." I bet this is a typo, but I really like it--to explore, without preconceived notions, all the ins and outs of what it means to be alive!
You read my mind man. When I first finished watching this film, I have always had this feeling stuck in my mind, I don’t really know how to explain it to myself, but I know what it is. You explains it very well in this video. Ever since I finish watching Your Name for the first time, I became a change man, I decide to work hard and to become the best person that I want to become, so I could find a better life companion.
I just watched this for the first time this weekend and it was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. I can’t stop thinking about it and can’t wait to watch it again.
Damn, this got me emotional. Having migrated in a different country, I have left all of my fullfiling relationships back home. I feel so empty here, all my relationships are superficial, most people are cold, the weather is cold. It is sickening that people have to exchange their relationships for better living conditions, it's an oxymoron. Now, after 2.5 years abroad I can also feel the physical effects of loniless and it really hurts. I feel trapped between loniless coupled with good money and working conditions, and 6-7 day-long work week, 8-10 hours a day for money which will barely cover my life expenses coupled with people I can call my own. The prospect of choosing is paralyzing and here I am unable to make a real choice... Thanks for the video! Great job as always!
For me, one of the greatest movies of all time. Actually traveled to Tokyo last year to find the stairwell at the end. Found other pilgrims like myself standing there, some taking pictures, while a couple tried to recapture that final scene. Everyone kept smiling knowingly at each other, just as the April skies started to softly rain. Will remain one of my favorite moments.
Watching this after spending my first Christmas with the love of my life and her loving family after spending many holidays alone brought tears to my eyes.
This movie and Mob Psycho 100 (the Manga) changed me. After watching and reading both I had this feeling stuck inside me. I couldn't and still can't explain it. I felt like I was also looking for something too. After I watched and read both of them I started working harder in school and everything else. I started treating the people around me and the people I was close too better. Your Name and Mob Psycho 100 inspired me to become a better person. Or in Shigeo Kageyama's words "A genuinely good guy." And I finally found what I was looking for. (Also a silent voice but Mob Psycho just impacted me more)
I was just talking about this with a friend. How real, deep connections are hard for us. My issue is not talking to the girl. My issue is feeling anything for her at all. I guess I should get over my ex huh...
They are over 7 billion people on this planet, and I understand how it's hard to find a connection with someone sometimes even with those numbers.. I recently found someone I deeply connected with but she lives in spain.. We talk everyday and grown a connection with each other.. But I know we can never be together with that sort of circumstances, so I let her go
@@harrizburhan Why not? What's preventing you from going to Spain or her coming to your country? Should we not fight for those who we love? Go get her.
Delete all pictures/videos of that person. Unfollow/block all their social media. Hopefully you’ll get over em... you deserve to give love to another wonderful being.
Your videos almost always make me cry. In a good way. I get chills, I get emotional, I get excited and intrigued and I think the points over and over throughout my day. I tell my boyfriend about it, we have long existential conversations that bring us closer together from knowing one another more intimately on such a personal level. I appreciate all of this so much, and I’m so glad I found your content.
I just realized that 'Your Name' and 'Arrival' shared many similar qualities: theme (human connection & love persevering), symbolisms (circles), and even the twist! Both brought me a transendental experience and lingered long after watching. While not everything in life is perfect, the moments of happiness shared still matter.
One of those rare films I think about to this day. The more I analysed it the more I appreciated it. Everything else aside, Your Name is something special
I cried after watching your interpretation of this movie. What you said resonates so much with I've been going through for the past 2 years. It's as if what you said in this videos is what I needed to hear and the closure I've been looking for this whole time. Thank you so much.
I'm so glad you finally did your name. This has been my favorite movie for years, I watch it every month since I saw it in theaters three years ago.. thank you. Been watching your channel for a little over two years and I'm glad you finally made this.
man, i love this channel. your voice and how the video is made, feels like a warm embrace that both opens the vulnerable side of me and opens me to new ideas presented by movies/games that i have not noticed when I first watched it or haven't watched it yet, making me want to watch it again. If "Your Name", couldn't get anymore tear jerking, this video just made it more.
Man ...for the last couple of years I've been feeling like Taki from the movie, despite everything that I do and enjoy, I've been missing a big something. Just recently I found the why, but still it changed nothing...
I bought and watched the film just in time to watch this. The film was worth it. I spent a month in Japan with my ex wife. It's an odd place, where the modern and the ancient exist side by side. Ancient shrines in deep suburbia. It's a very ordered place. We got to see things people/tourists normally don't. Live motorway service stations, a student cafe deep in the woods, and a volcanic mountain where I was the only gaijin. They make black eggs in volcanic pools and vents.
Storytelling is precious. Storytelling is beautiful. Storytelling is impactful. The beauty of storytelling is that it helps us gain a refined, introspective view about something that we would have never known of without the story-holder sharing with us. I cannot thank you enough for bringing this forth within the anime film, Your Name. Your message, your way of conveying, and your story are so subtle, and heart-touching. You inspire me to continue turning my hobby of storytelling into a more fulfilling journey!
a little red thread, it was shown to me while this movie came out, the thread may have not been actually that strong but the bond is precious ..at least to the one who writes this. many red strings have been placed in my fingers and im glad the ones strong enough have kept wrapped around i hope that every one i have loved and cared for sees that little red string from time to time, and remember that i too think of them with ...love i think even though im not that great at staying in touch.
I am slightly freaking out because I saw this movie yesterday and today you come out with a video on it!!! Pure coincidence but very well timed. Love your vids, you inspire me ✌
After spending most my time by myself over the last year and a half, during COVID, waiting to feel my heart alive, I want you to know that this video made me cry. I cry because of the truth surrounding this film and this concept. I’ve provided for myself completely, but I would give almost everything up to connect with a loved one. That is the true substance of life. If you have that. You have everything.
Ive been struggling with a decision of whether to move and secure my future financially or staying where I am risking the uncertainty and debt after meeting a woman that I feel I could be truly happy with. Way to hit me in the feels and make me really reconsider what I should do
There is something about this movie i can't describe , something beyond this life beyond this world something spiritual moves my soul This is my all time favourite movie Thank you for this amazing heart touching video
I just found your channel a few videos ago. I'm blown away. I love it. I will watch it tomorrow, I need mental strength to watch it. I feel I will relate so much.
Going through your videos, they don't fit the category of binge-videos, where you spend an entire afternoon just going through your entire catalogue of analysis. That's not a bad thing though. Quite the opposite. Maybe it's because they're so thoughtfully crafted that you need the right time of day to experience the little details of philosophy and its messages as a whole. They're like those great movies you stumble upon every now; wise, impactful, and you may find your in tears by the end. This video is proof of that.
I love your videos, the way you see, connect and articulate so many points and themes. Your voice is calm and soothing, just ideal to deliver the kind of messages your videos are about. I'm very happy that you finally covered an Anime, especially one as wonderful as Your Name. Perhaps you can cover another of Makoto Shinkai's work, such as 5 centimeters? Keep up the amazing work you do, you are appreciated.
This is by far the best anime ever created, at least to me. I've never felt as involved and overwhelmed before, not even watching Miyzaki's works does it for me as Your Name continues to do for the 4th time.
You did it. I dropped whatever I was doing as soon as I saw you published it. This movie means whole lot to me for some reason. I'm glad you covered it.
I’m amazed that you’ve been open to different media’s of story like games and now anime, which is great, watching this video, like all videos, always shows me what I’m lacking in my life, I know this to be true because if I’m feeling sad, like right now, it means I’m lacking the topic of this video which is good relationships. And I need to fix, thank you once again.
i like your channel so much. as a cinephile, it’s a pleasure for me to see your videos about my favorite movies. it’s deep and your soundtrack are well chosen, you can’t imagine how many times i’ve watched your videos. keep going
Hey all, can't believe it took me so long to cover an anime film. What are your favorite anime's? Let me know below!
Like Stories of Old one punch man
Like Stories of Old Best anime film is Ninja Scroll. Best anime series, Outlaw Star and One Punch Man.
Probably Akira and Berserk (the manga)
Dude this is so awesome
LSOO, I love every Ghibli movie and I would love to see some analysis of one of the biggest classics like Nausica, Mononoke Hime or any other ❤️
Watching your videos is like taking a minute and sitting in the peaceful eye of my existential hurricane.
Truth.
Very well put my friend! This channel is where others are found!
This is so articulate for these videos.
True
Exactly how I felt.

Your Name is an actual masterpiece. It’s beautiful from start to finish.

Not "savor here and now". But to have the courage to look inside and find out if you're really you. There's people trying to take that from you.
Be careful that that "someone" isn't you.
You have no idea how incredibly sad this made me. Thank you for sharing.

This channel is like an unknown tree bearing fruit in a great garden: tragic that it goes unnoticed, but a joy for those that find it.
Pleasant speech is the highest blessing.
I love sweet and gentle voices.
If you want to do another anime movie A Silent voice is fantastic. It came out the same year as Your Name so it was over shadowed.
Way too overshadowed
Your name is ok at best
A Silent Voice was amazing!
Netflix put it in the spotlight
It's a true gem.
@@whodis715 If anything it was waaaay overhyped. Koe no Katachi is very mediocre compared to the manga it adapts.

I loved this movie so much.
“I came to see you. It wasn’t easy because you were so far away”
And these transitions from the summary to an ad are so smooth
I can feel the emotion wash over me every time I hear that line of "Kimi no namae wa?" I adore this film.

So moving of both heart and soul, it sometimes hurts.
I don’t know why but every single video of Like Stories of Old makes me tear up by the end.
Every single one.
yeah same with me. he's actually a pretty good narrator i find. i can see him narrate films
While I wish to have that kinda intimacy with someone, she on the other hand is afraid of such connection and I was feeling rejected. Somehow this made me realise, not everyone understand what it means to be intimate.

Bravo sire. 👌👍
I'm so glad you finally did your name. This has been my favorite movie for years, I watch it every month since I saw it in theaters three years ago.. thank you. Been watching your channel for a little over two years and I'm glad you finally made this.
why do i cry EVERY TIME i watch one of your videos, thank you
man, i love this channel.
your voice and how the video is made, feels like a warm embrace that both opens the vulnerable side of me and opens me to new ideas presented by movies/games that i have not noticed when I first watched it or haven't watched it yet, making me want to watch it again.
If "Your Name", couldn't get anymore tear jerking, this video just made it more.
This video....I dont know why but it hit me so deep and im just breathless...I have no words
Thank you lsoo. I'm literally in tears after most of your videos, this one was no exception.
Man ...for the last couple of years I've been feeling like Taki from the movie, despite everything that I do and enjoy, I've been missing a big something.
Just recently I found the why, but still it changed nothing...
Maybe what you found is not the right 'why'
not even pulling your leg this literally made me cry!
I bought and watched the film just in time to watch this. The film was worth it. I spent a month in Japan with my ex wife. It's an odd place, where the modern and the ancient exist side by side. Ancient shrines in deep suburbia. It's a very ordered place. We got to see things people/tourists normally don't. Live motorway service stations, a student cafe deep in the woods, and a volcanic mountain where I was the only gaijin. They make black eggs in volcanic pools and vents.
Storytelling is precious. Storytelling is beautiful. Storytelling is impactful. The beauty of storytelling is that it helps us gain a refined, introspective view about something that we would have never known of without the story-holder sharing with us. I cannot thank you enough for bringing this forth within the anime film, Your Name. Your message, your way of conveying, and your story are so subtle, and heart-touching. You inspire me to continue turning my hobby of storytelling into a more fulfilling journey!
a little red thread, it was shown to me while this movie came out, the thread may have not been actually that strong
but the bond is precious ..at least to the one who writes this.
many red strings have been placed in my fingers and im glad the ones strong enough have kept wrapped around
i hope that every one i have loved and cared for sees that little red string from time to time, and remember that i too think of them with ...love i think
even though im not that great at staying in touch.
Just saw Your Name today for the first time. :O
What a fantastic movie!
Man your voice makes the explanation better you relax
I am slightly freaking out because I saw this movie yesterday and today you come out with a video on it!!! Pure coincidence but very well timed. Love your vids, you inspire me ✌
After spending most my time by myself over the last year and a half, during COVID, waiting to feel my heart alive, I want you to know that this video made me cry. I cry because of the truth surrounding this film and this concept. I’ve provided for myself completely, but I would give almost everything up to connect with a loved one. That is the true substance of life. If you have that. You have everything.
This gave me the feeling that I am missing something that was never there.
This was a beautiful video I also cried a bit
same with me
I have for some time been refreshing my consensus of what truly makes me happy. Movie reviews like yours certainly qualify. Thank you. 😀😃😄
6:20-6:31 guy.. the music, imagery and speech make some of the best few seconds i've ever felt
Ive been struggling with a decision of whether to move and secure my future financially or staying where I am risking the uncertainty and debt after meeting a woman that I feel I could be truly happy with. Way to hit me in the feels and make me really reconsider what I should do
how do you do it man? how do you consistently bring me to tears with your beautiful movie analysis. Thank you sir, all the feels
There is something about this movie i can't describe , something beyond this life beyond this world something spiritual moves my soul
This is my all time favourite movie
Thank you for this amazing heart touching video
thank you for making my life a much more peaceful experience
Probably one of the best videos talking about Your Name in all youtube
I have no words right now to describe how beautiful your videos are. Thank you so much.
Hope you do more content like this.
I just found your channel a few videos ago. I'm blown away. I love it. I will watch it tomorrow, I need mental strength to watch it. I feel I will relate so much.
Going through your videos, they don't fit the category of binge-videos, where you spend an entire afternoon just going through your entire catalogue of analysis. That's not a bad thing though. Quite the opposite. Maybe it's because they're so thoughtfully crafted that you need the right time of day to experience the little details of philosophy and its messages as a whole. They're like those great movies you stumble upon every now; wise, impactful, and you may find your in tears by the end. This video is proof of that.
I love your videos, the way you see, connect and articulate so many points and themes. Your voice is calm and soothing, just ideal to deliver the kind of messages your videos are about. I'm very happy that you finally covered an Anime, especially one as wonderful as Your Name. Perhaps you can cover another of Makoto Shinkai's work, such as 5 centimeters? Keep up the amazing work you do, you are appreciated.
Your voice is so soothing man
This is by far the best anime ever created, at least to me. I've never felt as involved and overwhelmed before, not even watching Miyzaki's works does it for me as Your Name continues to do for the 4th time.
WE NEED MORE MOVIES LIKE THIS IN THE WEST!!!!
You make the best, most beautiful videos on the internet.
The start of this video after the mubi advertisement is the best ever on RUclips.
This is by far the best video essay about Your Name that I've ever watched... thank you
I just found your channel. What a gift! I appreciate you covering Your Name.
You did it. I dropped whatever I was doing as soon as I saw you published it. This movie means whole lot to me for some reason. I'm glad you covered it.
I am grateful to have found your channel. Thank you. Listening to your pieces is like listening to your subject's voices.
I like how u did not overanalyze, this movie is to be felt, rewatched to understand the plot then watched again to be felt again
Your Name is literally one of the most beautifully looking films i've ever seen. As a long time anime fan, I love this film
I’ve been going through a major period of self doubt lately. This video was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you.
I’m amazed that you’ve been open to different media’s of story like games and now anime, which is great, watching this video, like all videos, always shows me what I’m lacking in my life, I know this to be true because if I’m feeling sad, like right now, it means I’m lacking the topic of this video which is good relationships. And I need to fix, thank you once again.
i like your channel so much. as a cinephile, it’s a pleasure for me to see your videos about my favorite movies. it’s deep and your soundtrack are well chosen, you can’t imagine how many times i’ve watched your videos. keep going
Your videos are insane. They always get me in this headspace that makes me think about my whole life
Don't know how you do it man, every video you do moves me to tears. Thanks so much for the great content.
