Synopsis:n a city where fire, water, land, and air residents live together, a fiery young woman and a go-with-the-flow guy discover something elemental: how much they actually have in common.

Why can't anyone understand that the storm that made her parents leave Fire Island was no ordinary storm. But it was actually an analogy to war. They were refugees.
I figured it was an analogy, but I think they could have made the concept that it was about war a tiny bit more clear. I honestly felt a bit confused over that. But didn’t exactly question it either. Idk how you’d make it more clear tho.
@@Birchleadthe way they did it is perfect. They don’t vilify any one. If you’re older it will click eventually. It’s not that far off to leave people perplexed
It's not we didn't understand, we honestly just didn't care
I kind of thought of it more relatable to me as her parents being immigrants
I don't think it showed the effects of the storm on the whole Firish community, it just made it look like it disproportionately affected Ember's mom and dad.
I know it may be a little comical but that scene where Bernie and Cinder tells immigration their names only to be assigned a new name was disturbingly close to home. Many migrants, like myself, end up getting/choosing a new name to try to assimilate better but it's at the risk of losing one's cultural identity and heritage. This movie is an ode to the migrant story but was sorely under-rated and underappreciated by those who couldn't relate.
For sure! I remember watching the Reel Rejects reaction to it and the guy was like i get it's funny but it's like 2 Italians showing up and being like "ehh i dunno how to say that..let's go with Mario and Luigi!" 😅 which was funny in itself but yknow..had a point hahah
It was also commonplace to get a new name during the European emigration waves of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. While both examples I’ll use here are fictional, they’re based on actual history. There’s a Swedish series of books called the Emigrants which details a family emigrating from Sweden to America around 1860, and upon entry in America their name is changed from the Swedish Nilsson to the English Nelson. The Mousekewitzes also have their names changed in An American Tail, and they also show a Russian man who introduces himself by his long Russian name be greeted with ”okay mr ….. Smith”

When in Rome do as Romans do.
My 1st and last name were changed.. idk if my mom pronounced it wrong or couldn’t spell it but yeah I got a little teary at that part
as a child of immigrant parents, this movie really spoke to me and made me so emotional. I related with Ember's struggles a lot. Always fun to watch your reactions, Seb
For those who cant relate, Amber grew up with an enourmous sense of responsibility and feeling like her parents gave and continue to give up literally everything to privide for her. After years of unintentional conditioning (for lack of a better word), she realises that what she believed she wanted and what she really wants are two different things and she feels forced to choose between two option 1) pursuing her dream and disappointing the family/ community/culture (live with guilt) or 2) forget about her dream and keep the family/community/ culture happy (live with regret).
The keyword here is that she *feels* this way, she cant help it. She knows she can say something about it, but in her mind, are the consequences worth it?
Ps: self expression, voicing your opinion to elders, etc is not something encouraged in many cultures. It may be changing nowadays with the age of the Internet but you might find that for those who this movie hit hardest, this was often not an option. She was lucky - her parents happened to be understanding.
At least this is how interpreted her point of view.
YES, that's exactly how I see it and why I relate to her so much, like when she says "The only way to pay back a Sacrifice that great is to Sacrifice yourself" and "You don't know what it's like to have parents who gave everything up for you" oof that hits hard
@@eline_sunny This was the first animated movie to make me cry and it was that line about sacrificing
It's EMBER. But yes to everything you said.
Seb seeing the rascism with the water but not with the fire people 😂
I agree 😭 the way the city was built is just not Fire friendly at all and it seems like no one really cares - that’s just sad
@@ajls9 YES, there's none fire friendly place or anyrhing build with intention of the fire people being around the city
k but that has nothing to do with racism in the real world so it doesnt matter. there are 0 places in a city or space where different races of people absolutely cannot go to or partake in or enjoy. you might THINK that's the case because of personal opinion of what MIGHT happen, but this analogy falls apart because the Fire people literally PHYSICALLY cannot do XYZ because of uncontrollable issues with how fire acts; it's completely no ones fault what Fire does without even trying. The reason this analogy doesnt work with real life is because human beings of all races can CHOOSE to act and behave in any kind of way and nothing is ever guaranteed. In fact, there are MANY stories of people of color going to places expecting full blown violent or verbal racism and receiving 0 and having an eye opening moment. The Fire people cant randomly not catch things on fire by chance. Don't pretend like racism is 100% fully happening in all scenarios all the time and no one has control over it. That's unrealistic. @@chixy9525
yep, and that comment about speaking so 'clearly' is def a reflection of that lol they expected her to hav an 'accent' because she's not like them.
It’s interesting to see the different reactions to this movies based on people’s backgrounds and biases. It makes sense that you don’t understand Ember’s issue and why she can’t simply communicate what she truly wants, and how those same feelings are so touching for children of immigrant parents or non-white kids
Uh, white kid here and I'm a second-generation immigrant, with both my parents hailing from South Africa and Zimbabwe respectively. This story can be touching for us too because a lot of white kids are themselves immigrants (after all, approximately 21% of U.S. immigrants are white as of 2021), so there's no need to segregate us from everyone else.
Exatcly
OP is the kind Disney is catering to.
People wonder why their stocks are in the toilet.
You could well just say immigrants. I’m only a third gen American and my skin and my family is only “white” here.l in America.
@@TheAwkwardGamer"ermm 🤓 ☝️ im white and i can relate to this"
Seb really ?? She's not a bad daugther and wade is a hopeless romantic and empathic, like he has what she needed and she has what he lost with the death of his father.
Jit mad
Yeah I think you don't understand Ember's predicament here. When your parents sacrifice their life, leave their home and travel abroad to a strange new land that probably doesn't accept them like they were accepted at home, you as their child feel obligated to respect that sacrifice and follow through on the family's business. I know in western culture it may be easy to think 'just do what you want and its all good, if you tell your parents theyll be fine with it' you really don't understand eastern culture. To you this story may have seemed almost silly but to the rest of us who understand what a culture clash can do in a relationship this was a powerful movie
There's a chemical reaction called the Leidenfrost Effect where if something superheated touches a liquid and instantly vaporizes it, the steam it creates forms a thin layer between the two and insulates it. It's so strong that you can technically shove your water soaked handed into molten metal and you wont feel any heat for a few seconds (course you shouldnt actually do that)
Basically when they touched for the first time, that's the chemical reaction that's happening that helps them do that
a lot of people who aren't imigrants or part of an interracial couple like the parents of the writer of this movie really wouldn't get the struggles. I'm not both but i am a POC so i definitely get a lot of how ember is reacting towards her parents' needs. but i totally get why you wouldn't be able to connect with that and it's okay. still a fun reaction!!
Yeah. I'm not an immigrant but I'm still black. Even American people of color have these struggles. And regardless of the country you come from or what race you are, all interracial couples have these struggles. My boyfriend and I certainly do (he's white).
I’m so upset that Disney didn’t advertise it right. It ended up flopping Even tho it’s so good😭😭
It didn’t actually end up flopping. At first it underperformed, but thanks to word of mouth it ended up making a good box office by the end of its run.
i only heard of it from working in the theater over the summer
@zoew_ really? I heard about it when Encanto came out
It got released around when Spiderman ATSV came out and got overshadowed but now im glad its making a comeback
I think they were able to touch because of the steam separating them and not actually touching. And in the part where wade evaporated and didn't die , is because he was still water just in a different state of matter , gas .
They created that steam which is why Wade said we changed each other's chemistry which is true. Fire can stay aflame on water at a certain temperature without the water evaporating because both feed each other. There's a term for it too I just can't remember 😂
@@BlackGirlMarvelI don't know the term either but it's physics. You can always just say that.
I’m a little annoyed that you missed or didn’t react to the most heartwarming parts of the film, or rather laughed it off more than actually taking it in. This was a beautiful piece of media
Same here. Those were the best parts. Wish he felt the movie a bit more
He obviously did it on purpose so he can shamelessly promote his Patreon like every reactor on this website
This movie made tear up in cinemas
One of the few movies that made me cry in years
@usanatv2007sentertainmentinc. have you seen "the good dinosaur" it will have you crying for real!
14:58 Ember doesn't burn her clothes because they're like fireplace curtains! Which are made from metal panels or mesh, like chainmail, sort of, and therefore they don't burn. If you look closely at her clothes and other Fire people's clothes, they look slightly metallic and they look like meshy chainmail or little geometric-shape panels linked together. And their formal attire is the same thing but with stained glass, so their light shines through and they look like ornate lanterns. Very functional/practical and stylish! (I really would LOVE to have Ember's purple hoodie, NGL...)
I relate so much to Ember with her frustration with customers. I work retail, you meet some real dumb ones
Yesterday at my store: "So is it 20% off each item, or 20% off the whole purchase??" Everything in the store is on sale maam. "But is it 20% off each or 20% off together???"
@@blumtnpaj23 Lady couldn't % right, but such things happen. I mean my brain sometimes forgets how to brain and I'm not even in my thirties yet so that's scary.
I would love to see your reaction to the last scene when she did the bow to her father, that made me cry like Wade!
Yeah it’s funny seeing how people in the media industry try to make the cashier look bad for not giving away something for free is the absolute best take this movie has😂
It wasn’t as bad as people thought but man this was a clear sign that the marketing was the main issue and I wish they focused more on the immigration story
I swear, Ember and Wade are just perfect for each other in so many ways imaginable. Their love is just so powerful throughout this entire movie, when they hold hands and kiss, my heart literally melted. I was just in complete awe. One of the greatest couples I’ve seen, definitely one of my top favourites. Well done, Pixar! 100/10!!! ❤🔥💧❤
We need a sequel with them having a steam baby possibly, that would be amazing. Just showing how much more powerful Ember’s and Wade’s love for each other has become.
This story is told in a beautiful colorful phenomenon I love the colors of this movie so much
Quick note, someone wasn’t paying attention; that’s not Wade’s dad, that’s his uncle. His dad died and he was jumping from job to job; that’s kinda what leads to them meeting
I wouldn't call what happened in Fireland "a bit of house damage." Dismissing that, another problem was Cinder being pregnant with Ember. It was more practical to move to a more modern city than staying in their little rural village.
26:56 I know it's right before a heart-breaking (and dam-breaking) moment, but Ember is LITERALLY the light in Wade's eyes, and she has been throughout the whole movie. I just love that symbolism and wanted to say that here.
Your editing is on FIRE Seb 🔥🌊
Fire and Water can touch without fading away. It just depends on how much of a balance there is between the two. Or what material and the picture the fire is. Like magnesium and potassium fires can’t be put out with water. I think the key thing here is that they are both balanced with each other there for neither of them are harmed by it. He’s cold enough the not fully evaporate from her fire, and she’s hot enough to not be fully put out by his water.
I was pleasantly surprised from what I've seen about this movie, this is my first time seeing anything regarding it in terms of content within the film.
Its an amazing film!!! 100% worth the watch! 😁😁
Seb, I’m not going to lie, this is my favourite movie from this year tied with Spider-Man Across the Spider Verse. Also, the song that plays over Wade and Ember’s date hits hard. P.S. I’m a Taurus ♉️, Earth.
The song is fire. Sometimes I think Sev focuses on making jokes more than fully paying attention to the stuff he watches.
Seb being a gemini makes sense 🤣🤣
Of course it's a Gem. Humans just automatically hate it because it:
1. Is a modern Disney movie.
2. Has commentary about different people groups. Not even real groups, just fictional people.
Uhh… No. We hate it because it’s a badly written movie. Your straw-manning is atrocious.
Even if that were true, that's still not a good enough reason to hate it. @@Rymaja
@@jacobwansleeben A film being badly written is not a good reason to dislike a film.. Your standards must be INCREDIBLY low lol
@@Rymaja its not poorly written but it is incredibly nuanced, not everyone (i.e. you) would get it
@@wavidavi539 There is nothing nuanced about the film. The message is so on the noise that even a 4 year old would get it. The dad literally changes motivations within seconds.. It is not nuanced at all. It is an objectively poorly written film and I have to yet to see a well-thought out defence as to why it is not a poorly written film.
i haven't actually got to see this movie fully till now an i can agree its a good film
SEB IM STILL DYING FOR YOUR TOY STORY 3 REACTION!! 😂😂😢
Same!
i went into this with no expectations, and was pleasantly surprised. it even made me cry at the end -- so touching. He did take some time to grown on me, but otherwise I loved it.
Dammit, I wanted to see you react to the bowing scene at the end
23:02 Because Wade is made of water, the animators could use most of the principles of Squash-and-Stretch animation much more liberally with him than with another character who has a skeleton and skin. They could animate him much more ~fluidly~ and could push the exaggeration on his expressiveness even more... like this goofy face here that might be my favorite silly face of his lol
I literally just finished watching Elemental myself :P Love the reactions.
It feels like im watching the movie with him, love the vids
I had a summer job in a chipper and we had coleslaw in a burger and a lady asked would I pick out the carrot !!! I said no and she roared that customer service has gone to the dogs and stormed out, only in retail
Libanomancy is the ability to scry (read, divination) smoke rising from incense smoke. It's just like reading tarot, runes, tea leaves and palms. It's my preferred preference for scrying
I just get so excited whenever I see your videos on my notifications 😊💖
I am loving the new channel profile!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS, i remember scrolling through all your vids just to see if you already reacted to elemental !
Can't miss a seb upload.
All the fire people are anger from inside out and all the water people are sadness from inside out
The cloud named Gale kind of reminds me of the wind spirit from Frozen 2, which is also named Gale by Olaf.
I need some seb right now. Thank you youtube and Seb
0:25 I've heard fire CAN go out if it's cold enough.
i hope they make more in this universe, like you said we only got such a little glimps of earth and wind
I think it's most unlikely for Pixar to make any follow-up to Elemental. This film is perfect, just the way it is. And we should cherish it as a stand-alone film so that it still remains a classic for future generations.
At the seven minute mark "Free haircut" got me SO HARD 🤣🤣💀
always makes my day better when seb posts!
Love the new logo
ngl it kinda bothers me that he gave Ember so much crap when she'd get angry. if she COULD control her anger she would've done that from the beginning when she was practicing running the shop. I think the movie showing a relationship between someone who was raised to embrace and express all their emotions is Wade and Ember, who was raised being told that she WILL be the owner of the shop someday, which gave her no room to choose for herself (on top of the fact that it seems like she may have BPD, which would make it even harder to control her emotions). It's not her parents fault that she couldn't speak up because they didnt realize the pressure they put on her, but its also not hers for struggling with that pressure, she should work more on her anger but that comes with time. AND when Wade decided to confront her, right in the middle of the ceremony when she becomes the owner of the Fireplace, in front of everyone in firetown and her Dad who she was desperately trying not to disappoint? Wade knew of her struggles and anger and still made the mistake of doing that in front of EVERYONE. Thats a lot of pressure to put on her, i think ppl give Ember a harder time with getting angry easier bc shes a woman, bc nobody has given the dad much crap for HIS anger when he gets unreasonably angry about unnecessary things as well.
My crying trigger is the song Leavin’ On A Jet Plane. Doesn’t matter if it’s playing on RUclips, the radio, my mom’s bathroom speaker, or if my mom is singing it. I cry a river every time. Ever since I was a tiny tot it’s had that affect on me and I’ve never understood why. Maybe cause my mom traveled a lot when I was growing up. I would lose the crying game for sure if anyone used that song on my turn to try not to cry.
12:04 HAD ME CACKLING AHAH
This was a good movie, showing different races and cultures. I believe fire and water supposed to be Mexican and white, but I'm not sure. E As for how they can mix, fire and water to get them make steam, so they could make steam babies, that would be like a whole new element.
They're Korean and white - though it makes sense to feel/see resemblances with any interracial couple
The way he went back in the chair
OMG yes ive been waiting for this!! cant wait to see how you react
everytime you post, my day gets better
Adding to the other commentaries, I recently found out the director is Asian and his family were immigrants and he put part of his story into the movie
love this channel😄
I've Seen This Movie Last Year Before I Loved It
THE GOAT IS BACK 😭😭
I went to the theaters to see this. It was great!
Ok just star-ting on this video and you're already popping off on them puns lmao. Really sparked a flame in me😂😂❤ you earned yourself a sub my man they b fire XD
Edit: ok the fact you actually grabbed a prop for the match joke was ashtounding😂 thank you for the laugh that was a good one~ glad to have found a kindred spirit haha
Your shock at the hanky panky line 🤣
Watched this movie yesterday and now this gem of a reaction is here. 😭✊🏼🌻
For some reason this movie makes me want to drink water
I think the reference for the apple picking could of been Adam and Eve but I could be wrong lol so ya know it’s just referencing hanky panky time 😂
Am I the only one who tends to question why aren't the materials made out of elements too?
Maybe they are just not in a fully obvious way. Like the bags of food at the fire store, it has to be either flame resistant or has an element to it that allows them to touch it
I worked in a movie theater in high school. This person tried to return a ticket that they bought at a different theater.
Another time, this man wanted to split his giant concession order in 2 on the same card because he said he didn't wanna exceed his balance
he said holy dew drop oh and pruning means to remove leaves and branches, so basically they were taking each other's clothes
I love it this movie, is pure cuteness
love this movie!! made me bawl but i love it!
third time watching this movie in a month
keep these disney reactions coming
I saw this movie in the drive-in theater with my fiance and it was amazing 😊
Nice reaction, could you do Nimona at some point? It's similar(ish), and my favourite film
12:14 I got an ad with the PERFECT timing to cut Wade off after he says "HOLY-!!!" before he could say "-DEWDROP!!!" Hilarious! (It was a Coca-Cola ad, btw.)
definitely a little limited in scope but as an intro the to world it works well enough
seb the shirt is fire 👌🏻
love your vids sm 💘
Я не могу... Ваша харизма просто шикарна! Кажется, я даже влюбилась...🥰
Yessssssss❤
Man Seb been waiting for another reaction lol
Please finish sherek triology and Nimona you would love it, I ask from a fan here in brazil
We love you luts come on gise😄🙏
Please consider watching Moving on your channel. Recommending it just cause I know you'll love it and also because I can't wait to see you cry. That's while I watch along crying, again. Love your reactions. Good to know I'm not the only one crying over animation and/or anime and almost everything else if I'm being honest with my INFP self. New sub here--watched almost all of your videos, I just had to do it at this point. ❤
