I also noticed that all the people who lived in this house never paid for it. In the first film the house was given to the family for free, in the second film the couple moved in without paying, and in the third film the tenants weren’t paying rent and living there for free
Moral of the story: Pay for your house 😂
Moral of the story : nothing is for free!!
i JUST watched it, and when i noticed it i felt like it meant they didnt pay with money but it was paid for with their mental health and them becoming obsessed ik im wrong but eh
@@notnoe8193 i think this movie really is to be interpreted in many ways, don't think from the start you're wrong, it's hard to even differentiate what is taken as a fact in it and what's purely in characters head
Oh yeah I only now noticed it
The last short was my absolute favorite and I really connected with Rosa and how sometimes we hold onto things that aren’t good for us anymore. And that sometimes we just have to move on.
Did she move on though? I mean, she literally 'moved on', but if the goal was to abandon the house - the thing she obsessed over - is taking the house with her a good completion to her arc?
@@ryansilke i think it symbolizes what Jen said. Something along the lines of "treasure your past but move forward". She still treasures the house that she worked on so she brings it with her even in the future. Only noe that she'll try to become more healthy with managing it I suppose.
I agree, also it shows that even though we have a plan that makes perfect sense (getting good tenants to fund the renovations to finish the house to sell) you can’t let end goals overlook your reality. Sometimes just gotta cut your loses.
Also they made sure to highlight the fireplace in each movie. In the 1st movie the father is obsessed with the lighting the fire in the fire place . 2nd movie the mice/larva gathered around the (fireplace) television and laughed while the mice was annoyed . 3rd movie Rosa has her restoration plan right above it . Did anyone else notice this?
How about this take - The cats in the third movie are ghosts, Cosmos, Jen's friend who is still alive, helps all three to move on.
When it's revealed the mice are actually giant beetle and larva it was such a trip. Finally hit me right at the clapping sequence
And the fricking house destruction that come right after. Engraved forever in my head
It hit me when I saw the unblinking rat eyes then it was confirmed for me when I saw them in the bath. Their body shapes. The bumpy length of the tall one the short roundness of the shorter one. Disturbing
@@oh-cy1mj yeah I couldn't figure out what the hell it was, at first I thought the long one was two mice on eachothers shoulders. And we're just people trying to scam. But yeah basically right before they were walking into the welcome/ party scene I was like "😱...🤯"
Haha was a trip.
@@cubedone199 right? It was super chilling. I just finished watching it and had to look more on it. Darn good (odd) film
@@oh-cy1mj very odd, very unsettling, good watch
Honestly they should have made part 1 length movie the whole concept and plot is so interesting
Just watch spirited away if you liked the first part
@@iudexe3103 already have seen it
Trash
They should have made this a full length with more in depth story telling to it
seriousky
Did anyone else notice that the stories progressively get brighter?! Definitely a meaning to that!
genius!!!!
i wish part one would have been longer 😭
Same here - the time period, animation style, characters and overall creepiness was really well executed!
Ye ha the best bit of the film
Same!!! It was so interesting!
@@BrainPilot yes.
And also wondering how the children are going.
You know it's good stop motion, when you stop thinking it is made in stop motion.
The animation, cinema photography and lighting catches the interest of the viewer and then all you can do is focus on the story.
And so, this is a prime example of successfully executed stop motion film.
What is stop motion
They did such beautiful work. In the first one we can see Mabel playing with dolls in what seems to be a smaller version of The House, maybe foreshadowing already that they were puppets of the devil, just like she was playing with those dolls.Either way the first one was the most brilliant and unerving one
Great call out!
If that was really a foreshadow, then that made part one even more interesting tbh
And that the father burned the doll house, which led to the fire he started in the fire place burning the house itself and him. Ultimate foreshadowing.
and the dolls she was playing with were the 2 mice from chapter 2 im pretty sure
Maybe the house itself is symbolizing hell, The scene where charles is crying made me think about it
i think the overall theme is materialism. Throughout the whole film, the characters are more focused on material things rather than their family, mental health, and wellbeing. in part one, i feel as though it represents how the rich prey on the poor, creating this sort of endless cycle of materialism and feeling like what you have isnt enough. wanting to be on top. wanting to have jt all. the father looks down on his old home and laughs, as if mocking squalor, completely ignoring that he lived there mere hours ago.
Their children have no concept of riches and money. But rather comfort. Family. The children’s comfort and family are replaced by material items. And one could argue that the heavy prescence of green in the house represents greed.
the second story was.. something… I feel like it was kind of ironic considering the main character was a mouse, trying to get rid of pests. I guess its sort of a story abut ignoring your problems in an attempt to achieve something higher. Or, it represents the concept of insanity. trying something again and again only to get the same result.
the last story of course represents letting go of material things. letting go of greed. not letting greed consume and kill you. Rosa is the only person in the house concerned with money. which again is ironic, because in her situation there is no need for money. The other characters are more aware of this. and instead offer rosa things that will assist in her survival. things she really needs. like food, friends, and fun. but rosa denies she needs these things, insisting that she needs money instead. She doesnt realize what she truly needs until everyone leaves her, pushed away by her greed in a sense. when she learned to let go, she is truly free.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Nice analysis.
wow that was so amazingly put!
Yes, I felt the same about this movie. Spot on for me. Honestly loved this movie.
Love this❤
material gworl
The second ending legitimately terrified me
I've always had the fear that I would never make it in life and end up in some old ruddy place basically falling apart… that's probably why I found it so damn scary 😅
I think the house represents life. The first story: the family has the opportunity to live a better and more wealthy life, and you can slowly see that the only people who care about the material things are being consumed by it. The lights represents how they are blinded by the materialistic things and the lavish lifestyle.
The second story: It’s a person so wrapped up in putting on this image of perfection when on the inside they are not as well put together as they try to seem. You can see when the rat sort of breaks in the bathroom and becomes almost manic in showing off. In the end, the true ugliness came out into light.
The third story: Rosa is a person who is stuck in the past and living life to her plan. As anyone would know, life never goes as plan. So the house breaking and the flood getting closer and closer to the house I believe that’s anxiety of not knowing and also the realization that the dream she wants to come true simply can not be. She has these people in her life who are getting up and moving on and it scares and angers her. She’s scared of the unknown but the people around her has embraced it and are leaving. She’s angry because she thinks they are leaving her when they are only moving on in life. Then she realizes she has to move on, she can’t keep harping on this dream life she put together in her head. The house turning into a boat is her keeping the memories and at the same time taking that step forward into the unknown, letting go of what can’t be, and moving on
Out of curiosity: which part was your favorite part? 🤔
Thank you for your interpretation! Although I appreciated the animations I couldn't make sense of the plot until I came here and read your comment, which made the movie much better.
@@BroAnarchy My favorite part was the last story with Rosa
@@Chris-qq7mt you are very welcome
Dude your interpretation makes so much sense! Thank you! Beautiful way how you described each of the stories!
Did anybody notice in the second story when the mouse had his open house, the weird baby crying name was Isobel?
I didn't notice that
My favourite part was the last part. I related a lot to Rosa because I could literally feel her anxiety.
Also at one point while I watched the last part I was theorizing (for fun) that maybe it's the afterlife they're all stuck in. Sort of like purgatory. and Rosa actually died in the flood by the house. So her sailing away was her moving on to whatever comes next.
My favourite is also part 3! I think it's telling us that family doesn't necessarily have to be connected by blood, and you may not like the family you're born into. But at the end of the day, they all offer you something irreplaceable, that is; company. They can be annoying but they will always be behind you to help you move forward in life.
I thought at first that they were actually a litter of kittens ready to be born. All the other kittens are going for it although they don't know where they are going. Rosa wants to stay in the womb because it's all she knows. But then when the house started to float I thought this didn't make much sense anymore lol.
This is the conclusion I came to as well. I was surprised that the video creator didn't come to the same conclusion.
Oooo that makes a lot of sense. Especially in the part where there is all the mist and it feels like a dream. It would make sense if that’s where rose died too and then she is moving on the the after life with them which is why she couldn’t see them until she moved the house. They were obstructed by mist and then after she died she could see them again
i think it makes sense, especially because even though he'd set sail a day prior, Elias was just magically back there again to sail with Rosa, Jen, and Cosmos
I actually think the third story is the strongest because it's about Rosa choosing to move on with her life. If you grew up in a small town, or your parents had to sell your childhood home, or you have to leave for college, etc. There's a lot of sadness tht can come with moving on from a life you've had for well... your whole life. It's clear that Rosa associates the house with her parents and that leaving the house would leave behind a big part of herself and may even symbolize moving on from the death of her parents. The house allows her to remember and it gives her a lot of comfort. Struggling with losing it tears her apart. But in being so invested in the house she is also very lonely. Each of the stories has a lot to say about interpersonal relationships and the lives inside of homes. The theme of matierial possessions in the first story comes full circle in the third because Rosa has to learn that her sentimental obsession with the house caused her to miss out on having a fuller life with better relationships with her friends. The third story also relates to the second because both protagonists are trying to renovate a home that clearly cannot be saved. But the renovator has no emotional ties to the home and no family or friends to support him so the house envelopes him, eats him like it did its original victims. When Rosa finally realizes that she doesn't want to be alone her friends have already left, and she now wants to leave too because she would rather feel loved than continue to nurse something that can't return love to her. When she pushes the lever, it's to see if she can leave the house behind. Her being able to take the house with her simply symbolizes that her childhood and lost family members will still be a part of her no matter where she goes. And now she can face the future with her found family. The third chapter is about growing up. I think it's a shame this guy gave such a thurough review/praise to the first two chapters but left the third chapter dangling like that. It can relate to the themes of both chapters 1 and 2 but it stands on its own just fine.
this!!! i'm seeing a lot of criticism of the third one but i thought it was so beautiful and brought the overall story full circle. i also feel like it can be the most relatable to people seeing as how hard it is to pack up and move on from something we cherish. i also wanna add that it was such a great turning point in the movie when rosa finally asks the house to let her leave. by /begging/ the house to leave, we can see that the curse was clearly upon her (that and the fact that she didn't acknowledge the flood that was going to engulf her and the house if she stayed still). it was through moving forward that she was able to persevere through her loss and how she was able to bring, quite literally, the good memories of her home with her
This is the conclusion that I came away with too although I felt that her taking the house with her sort of felt like it undermined the freeing aspect of her leaving it. The house and her obsession with it caused her so much distress so for her to take it with her after having had her epiphany muddies the message of moving on in my opinion. It felt like the whole third section was leading up to a moment of having to let go in order to avoid being swallowed up by it like the previous residents were but instead she realises she has to move on and right after goes straight back into the house. I feel like a boat made from pieces of the house would've worked fine for that same childhood remaining a part of her aspect. Still really liked it though.
Yeah I prefer third one than second one It lost me didn't really like it.
I just read the first sentence and goes here.. sorry. But i think she hasn't moved on since she brought her house with her. She doesn't want to leave without the house ?
@@gb7586 let me allow myself to give the context you deliberately skipped cause you couldn't just wait and read until they made their point :| "her taking the house with her symbolises that her childhood and dead family members will be a part of her no matter where she goes" which. Is honestly a better resolve than just saying she should've just moved on- you can still think this symbolism could've been better achieved through other methods than her taking the house with her but it's still a very valid argument? She can keep the house (the things she held dear from her past and grieves) but the big difference is that now *it's not tying her down* (it's there because it's a part of her and who she is and was, but now it doesn't immobilise her any more or keep her from being around the people who matter to her) You're still free to disagree and interpret things differently but I have to disagree on there being no grounds for this interpretation, especially when the character is undeniably at least a lot happier and free-er by the end whether one thinks it's an earned happy ending or not.
I felt so bad for the Rat working so hard. Then being absolutely baffled by those squatter creatures lol
"An early grave. A poor investment. Such a big mistake." I thought for the 3rd story is that they're actually all dead, died from the flood. Jen and Eliot have been ready to move on but Rosa's obsession with the house prevented that, and in some sense still does. The house never left the land it was built on, it just disconnected from a larger piece. Rosa was able to move on from her obsession but she wasn't able to let go of the house.
The poor investment is of course the rat and a big mistake are the parents agreement.
The song during the credits was very neat. It roughly says "A house is a pile of bricks but a home is where you never feel alone"
All three parts have a theme of obsession
1st obsession for approval of others
2nd obsession to the point of having nothing else
3rd obsession of not letting go and changing for the better
I watched it because it had comedy in genre list. Well I understood nothing from the animation itself, but it was quite well animated.
Thanks for this explanation
It’s stopmotion
@@shotsbysann Stopmotion is a form of animation.
The first one has too be my favorite, but the ending scene of the second part is going to haunt me 😂😭
I interpreted it a little differently, this is what I thought:
I interpreted it as a metaphor for a persons life, beginning in childhood(the first part) and ending in adulthood(the last part).
I found it interesting the first part seemed centered around a child and her witnessing her parents turn into sofas. This is very symbolic of how children watch their parents grow up without realizing it, and many watch their parents fall into the trap of materialism. Not too mention how many children feel like their absent parents do become one with the couch. They were placed in front of a fireplace that in part two was a TV. The child witnesses this in confusion and fear and leaves to start a different path.
In the second part, I interpreted this a teenager or young adult, still living in their family baggage or trauma but dressing it up and disguising it to the public. This doesn’t work, and toxic people take advantage of the carpenter. They move in without much resistance and they live in filth together, tearing down anything beautiful which masks the shameful infested house underneath.
The third part would be symbolic of adulthood. In dream interpretation, water is a sign of strong emotion. This could be the overwhelming emotion of being in that same family trauma or baggage but being ready to move on. Although the owner is stubborn and wants to pretend she can fix the house, it takes the encouragement and strength from her friends to truly transform her perception and explore the world, embrace the water and not fear it.
This was simply my first interpretation while watching the movie. I found it striking that none of the characters were able to escape the house besides the children in the first part.
This is interesting that you see it this way. Someone I work with told me they thought it was about children. Part one about a child coming to terms with its environment. Part two is the fear and pain of having children. And three is when the kids move out. I never saw this but I understand where they see this! And yours is kind of similar!
i wish the first part wouldve been the whole movie, like a continuation of the first part rather than two new stories
Me too!!!
me tooo
The movie felt like something my English teacher In high school would play and have us analyze it lol but I really loved the second part and the third was such An amazing wrap up to the story
I'll share my thoughts first, and then I'll read the comments.
To begin with, you may have noticed that each story emphasized the basement: the girl found the remains of an old house there, the mouse lived in the basement while he made repairs, and the cat didn't notice that her basement was flooded. It is clear that the basement is subconscious. The relationship to it showed what would happen to the hero at the end.
Each story shows a different development of the character's psyche. In the first, they lost their foundation, destroyed it and ceased to exist (loss of identity). In the second the hero stayed in the subconscious and went crazy (personality degradation), in the third the protagonist realized her situation and began to move on (personality liberation). That is, all the stories are connected by a common idea.
Then about the second story. Yes, compulsive visitors are bugs: long and wide. The hero in the beginning tried to flush them out using chemicals. He doesn't realize that he can't handle it all by himself. He keeps emphasizing how independent he is, but it's obvious that he's overworked and needs a break. Because of this, he didn't keep track of how he inhaled the fumes and started hallucinating, which caused him to see bugs as guests. At the end he inhaled the fumes again and went to the hospital, and when he came back he met the bugs, realizing that he was no longer going to make it, started living like them.
Third story. I have only a guess here, but that's how I see it, that the residents of Rosa's house are her family: her brother, mother, and father - so they pay nothing for living expenses. Her mother supports her spiritually, her father is long gone because he works and does not devote himself to his family, while she knows nothing about her brother's hobbies and is perpetually angry with him, even though he is a member of her family and does not deserve to be treated that way. At first we are shown as if Rosa is the most adequate and the others are crazy. Then it is revealed that it is Rosa who is stuck in the past and the family is free to move on into the future. When they sailed away from her, it turns out that they were left waiting in a fog - indicating that all the characters in action live in Rosa's head, that they are not independent and have nowhere to go.
The fact that Rosa didn't notice her basement flooding is a disregard for real problems. Trying to build a house and getting paid by the new tenants was an attempt to return to her family, to get from her loved ones what she was not getting. But the family never accepted her, and Rosa was stuck on the idea. But at the end she freed herself and realized she had to move on. So this story is the most metaphorical at all: there is no home, no characters. It's all happening in the character's head. After losing her family, she realized that these people meant a lot to her and that without them there was no point in her staying at home anymore. That is, she realized that the real purpose of fixating on the house was not the house itself, but the desire for intimacy.
UPD: while I was sleeping, I realized one more thing. The second story is a reference to Cronenberg with his movie Naked Lunch, where the main character, working as an exterminator, takes bug poison as a drug, goes crazy and starts running secret errands for the bugs. The mouse also gets poisoned, goes crazy, and starts talking to the bugs.
sheesh
Вау! Столько интересных мыслей! Сделайте видеообзор на этот мультфильм, пожалуйста :) у меня еще во втором сюжете промелькнула идея " у каждого свои тараканы в голове". Хотя наверное в английском ругая идиома используется
@@user-vo2re3xq7q хах, я посмотрел, что у меня 10 лайков и такой "блин, хоть бери и делай ролик" :)
Кстати, очень похоже по построению сюжета на сериал "внутри 9го номера". Там каждая серия по полчаса как отдельная история, у которой есть свой неожиданный поворот событий в финале. Часто оказывается, что герой сошёл с ума как с мышью было.
Holy fuck thats is such good explanation, im way too high for this
Amazing interpretation! I actually got emotional on that last part, thank you
Just a thought but i think the mouses who ended up staying in the house are the infestation. They had the same shapes as the beetles and “worms” ( forgot what they were), this made it feel more creepy as to they were the exact same shape just bigger and in a disguise.
During the 2nd short:
The mouse is seen scratching his head all thought the short in the same spot. Then at the end we see him scratching the same spot but this time with his foot in a way that a normal animal would. I think this represents his underlining issues how he’s always had problems he’s been trying to hide, just like putting on the suit. At the end he finally turns into the true animal he was trying to cover up symbolizing that his issues have taken over and he can no longer hide them.
ngl how different the three stories were to each other kind of confused me at first, but thinking about it more they all have a common theme of these characters like, dealing with being materialistic as some sort of coping mechanism. Having the last main character free herself from that was a good idea for an ending too, because otherwise the movie would've felt kind of unsatisfying.
Yeah but she brought the house with her... I don't really get why it's taken as she moved on or free herself.
I liked Rosa story of moving forward on but not letting the past hold you down.
My fav part probably has to be part 3 as to the house symbolized depression in a way. Rosa is watching everyone leave and the flood is only getting worse. Everyone is telling her to leave but she just can’t, until eventually, in the end, she can finally grab ahold of the home and feels like a breathe of fresh air.
i agree but IMO it wasn't depression ( we are using this word way to often anyway) for me it was more like a forcing out of the comfort zone. Not having plans, trying out new stuffs, letting go of the past, and also the character developement.
I could really relate, there was a time where i would fight with my parents and even cry, it was about me not wanting to go to a student exchange program (only for one month, and in a neighbourgh countrie) and now i do stuffs like walking through the border by feet if no one picks me up (hitchiking), randomly buying plane tickets for even logner periods. I feel free now but I can relate to Rosa why she was afraid, and frankly also makes me angry a bit. Cuz I see myself in her, as an arrogant person, who does not know anything about the world, insist to his own ideas only, and degrading people who have a different point of view.
Also I interpreteded the message : if you insist for your own ideas but willing to take a leap of faith with many of the stuffs you managed to achive and gather during your "inner bubble years", it is okay. Rosa could sail away with the house, it was kinda deemolished but was a neccesary thing to do in order to make the house float and move.
She was sharing the same experience as the others, but since he insisted to her past more she still has a different point of view (like 20 meter difference)
So much symbolism.
We are our possessions. Like the voice says in the credits, “we follow directions and it leads to self destructions” why did the children not follow? Because they’re still innocent and not tainted by human greed.
We are also the rodents, when you zoom out. We see rodents as the invaders as the mice see the bugs as the nuisance. But aren’t we the same? It’s interesting the director chose mice over humans too. As if to force us to not see ourselves as the superior.
Then it ends with cats in the post world… (global warming). Cats were an interesting choice… I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on what that symbolizes.
But the ending to me shows that material possessions are what are destroying us and as long as we continue to not see that truth, we will continue to destroy our planet. But like the ending said, we can try again to seek the light. (Or something like that)
Also - just noticed that at the beginning there is some foreshadowing… the little girl is playing with her dollhouse that’s a replica of the house, with mice dolls who are the later characters in the third act. Perhaps meaning, humans at first felt in control… until we started to destroy ourselves.
I believe cats were chosen because they are the only animals that have historically stood the test of time 💡
@@rebeccaoderoha beetles have, too, though... and crocodiles and many other animals
First, I’d like to say I read your take on the film, resonated with what you said & felt like i have an explanation as to why the director chose cats. I went back to replay with my response when I realized we have the same name! How ironic?!
Now, I’m not 100% sure as to why cats were used but looking at in a metaphorical view point; there’s a saying that cat’s believe we live in their house rent free. Cats bring us small animals they catch from outside as a sign of appreciation as well as thinking that humans are terrible at hunting or taking care of ourselves as well as other miscellaneous thing we don’t think is of value to us. They also destroy things in our homes without a care in the world. We tend to get upset because we invested in our possessions but shortly forgive because we love them. I think this was a little play on the narrative to make us all think. Cats (or any pet for that matter) gives us a sense of comfort and unconditional love. Sometimes we get side tracked by why we have these “rent fee tenants” taking up space in our homes destroying things while we are the owners and providers for their livelihood while under our care.
Maybe the director flipped the perspective on this in a way where we as the audience are seeing something we take care of acting as ourselves and not realizing how much of an impact they have on our lives until they are gone or no longer with us. (Pets, family members and friends - sort of all the same in that sense)
I actually think i liked part III the most, it was a liberation from the cycle of the previous characters (and stories) that took place way before. I like the fact that not only Rosa broke the cycle, but that the house itself was freed as well. It was _definitely_ the most uplifting of the three stories Although, yeah.. the first story is definitely the most creepiest and the darkest of them all, and i give that credit for where credit is most certainly due!
“anthological feeling” bro just say the movie is an anthology lmao
🤣
I know right😂😂
While I was sleeping, I realized one more thing. The second story is a reference to Cronenberg with his movie Naked Lunch, where the main character, working as an exterminator, takes bug poison as a drug, goes crazy and starts running secret errands for the bugs. The mouse also gets poisoned, goes crazy, and starts talking to the bugs.
the first one was creepy, the second one was mildly horrifying, the third one was wholesome and sad. One of the best movie Ive seen in a while.
I liked this video only for the beautiful comment section it attracted.
I love people's explanation of the movie and their personal interpretation of it.
Thanks a lot to everyone who took the efforts to share their understanding of the movie ❤️
I gotta admit I did not get the last two parts, and had only a vague idea of what the first part was.
Same. It's really metaphorical but I really enjoyed it
Sameee
The last short there was definitely a sort of symbolism with the mind, with the pessimism / nihilist being Elias, optimism / nurturer being jen , Realist being Rosa and cosmos being a Relativist, its kinda messy but you get the idea lol
I actually think the whole thing is about classism.
Most obvious in first part where the family agrees to essentially become dolls for this wealthy and likely insane monster. The only reason they agree is for the chance at seeming better to the dad's well-off family.
The second part where crime is just breezed over for the wealthy and a man's hard work is stolen with ease despite the contractor toiling for years and destroying his life. All while the wealthy families just destroy his hard work. And that's before the extremely interested buyers move in and force him into servitude and feralness with only the promise of a better life.
The final one flips the script and shows us Rosa, who HAS reached the highest rung on the social ladder. She's the weathiest and most prosperous land owner in town. But there's no one else IN town. She has plans and plans to rebuild the house, but can't. Her tenants seem like layabouts, but over the course you learn that Elias' fish and Jen's garden are the only sources of food. Rosa is so enamored with the idea of creating this home and the status it'd bring that she neglected the people and berated them with unreasonable expectations for money.
It's only when she abandons the empty promise the house had and uses it for a new purpose that she and her new family are free.
When the couple rats kept on saying that they were extremely interested in the house actualyy meant that they were interested in not living in it but in eating it.
What was your favourite part? Mine has to be part 1! Super haunting and the visuals suited the tone perfectly. Comment yours below!
Trash
Stop motion is a a very uncommon and very underutilised style in the animation industry. It adds so much more flavour to the characters and entertainment.
Anyone else feels like people only focusing on the creepy parts misses the point of the story? Like yes I understand 3 wasn't your favorite because it wasn't scary but I think that because the creator wanted to get his point across and he didn't need to scare you for it, he already did two story's ago
I rank all of the individual tales in The House and determine which one is the best!
Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/JdQExKhJUhU/видео.html
I was having an existential crisis by the time I finished watching it
Why did Rosa need money to buy things to fix the house when there are no more stores and money is useless
I think that was the conflict of her story? she just couldn't let go of what she knew as fundamentals for living. maybe insisting on the money was a way for her to believe everything was ok since it seemed like she feared change? i'm uncertain though if you couldn't tell.
Because of the curse that the house has.. she's being posses by the house..
Part 1 should definitely be a series. I really loved part 3, but I think it had a good ending. Part 1 was just very interesting and left me with many questions. Also the name of the street in the second short was the guys name in the first short.
I also noticed the fireplace being a main centerpiece in all of the shorts. The dad was obsessed with it in the first film. In the second film, the fireplace became an oven, and the main mouse crawled into it. In the third film, it looks like the girl’s whole plan for the house was on the fireplace.
1st story gave me crazy deja vu. Could've sworn I remember reading a short story where the characters had the same fate
I really like you explanation for the ending of the 3rd part. I had trouble finding links for the 3rd chapter with all the others, so you really helped out here :)
Glad to have helped out!
I think there may be a connection in all the stories with the color green.
In the first part, when they get to the house, there were lots of green elements, such as the curtains. During that time period, the color green was seen as a sign a wealth since it was so rare, but the pigment that was used to make it, contained arsenite, which was toxic and killed anyone close to it. It symbolizes how being caught up in their materialism, lead to thier downfall.
In the second one, the powder bottle that he used to kill the beetles was also green. He sprayed that stuff everywhere, just hoping it would go away, instead of solving it properly. He too met his demise from his refusal to use the proper solution.
In the final part, the wallpaper that rosa was putting up was green. She was ignoring the actual problem and just trying to cover it up with pretty wallpaper. Luckily, she was able to let go of it and gain some amount of control.
They were all using green to cover the actual problems in their lives, just like how people use money to cover theirs. The common theme in all of these stories is losing control and losing what really matters. They all opted to just cover it up on the surface instead of fixing it up from the roots. They were so lost in their delusions to the point where they're too blind to notice what's actually happening around them.
All in all, it's a great movie with lots of symbolism still left to uncover.
the first part was definitely the best and most engaging. I agree with you.
Someone I work with told me they thought it was about children. Part one about a child coming to terms with its environment. Part two is the fear and pain of having children. And three is when the kids move out. I thought that was a really interesting take since I didn’t see it like that!
Also part one was my fave. How terrifying was the bit where that guys head was massive and he came up behind the man that works for him? I was utterly terrified.
Well done man! I really enjoyed this movie, and you did a terrific job landing the main point in your analysis
i watched this stoned and it was crazy
Far out, man
same , creeped me out
Also when I saw the creepy mice in the bathroom screen I realized their bodies looked like the fur beatles and the fact that the ending matched their looks.
Just watched the movie and had to look for other comments and perspectives in YT!! I agree w soo many comments and couldn’t have analyzed it better! Defo this movie is really surprising! It got me once I did not expect such creepy histories!
The first anthology is my favorite. The narrative, characters and animation are superb! So unique! Also really loved the end and the hopeful insights it brings: ‘Just move on, be open to change and let it go.’ It’s so thought provoking and made so much sense for me.
It’s a movie really worth watching! Hope you do before reading so many spoilers! Lol ;)
As I heard in a song "If you are not very careful, your possessions will possess you," and I think this is the main idea of this movie. A very important message for our society nowadays.
I really wish there was a whole separate movie about the first part and I hope they do really, and that they explain how in the other parts it was animals
Anyone who got some "The Yellow Wall-paper"-vibes from the last one? Rosa's struggle with trying to make it (the wallpaper) stick; her not being able to move freely in her house (due to other tenants); her to-do-list is arranged after wallpaper?
Honestly this is my favourite Netflix movie now the style is so interesting and unique and I hope they make more like this.
the last part was definitely most meaningful to me and was a good break from everything that had happened previously
"And heard within
a lie is spun
Then lost is truth
that can't be won
Listen again and
seek the sun."
There lies a continuum I think...the first part is about letting yourself be led into a treacherous path, the second is about descending into madness as you lose sight of the truth and lose touch with yourself and the third is about freeing yourself from your inner demons, searching for the truth and seeking the light at the end of the tunnel.
I’m glad the 3rd one had a good ending because dayum I had lost all hope in humanity after the first 2 haha
Love the house.
My favourite part was the III because I felt It talked about the detachment with material things and show us the importance not to have a house but a home. So deep and powerful film.
Wonderful A+ commentary on this movie!!!
Good commentary, still didn't understand alot of the movie though 🤔
you know its sad that it took me until seeing this video to realize that they were all the same house….
I loved the aspect of the 3rd part where Rosa is a typical western living person and looks down on happy free spirited people and thinks they are doing things wrong .. makes you question what really is happiness these days
I like how the guy gets straight to the point
Definitely love the 1st story, 2nd story was a bit unsettling yet good. But, I can relate most on the 3rd story. The feeling of being stuck and afraid to move forward. Still battling with it until now because of anxiety. Hope they make more movies like this and with all those creepy animations.
I think the flood story is my favorite, but I wonder what happened to Mabel and her sister
That’s the haunting thing… it looked pretty cold outside
@@BrainPilot I kinda thought maybe there was a town nearby. I know it sounds cheesy, but it's my headcanon.
The movie would've been way more interesting if it was broken up into 3 full length movies because there is so much unexplained filler and lore in the stories
Idk if anyone noticed but in part two every time you see outside the back of the house it looks like the Forrest from the beginning which doesn’t correlate with the front view, maybe showing his descent into madness ?
I loved the whole movie, but the first part was definitely on another level. Both the aesthetic and the plot were amazing, it reminded me so much of coraline, one of my favorite movies. And all of the 3 endings were just perfect , they are a great representation of the curse affecting the house (even tho the 2nd one was so unsettling it was hard to watch, the synchronized clapping legit sent chills down my spine lmao)
Has anyone else realised that mabels doll house looks like the house itself then when it gets thrown into the fire the house burns
Excellent review.
Thank you!
The second part messed with me. Something about it made the hairs on the back of neck stand up and i wanted to hide from it.
Me too
I honestly have to disagree. As I was watching with friends, people kept insinuating that the house itself was cursed. But the credits song at the end strengthened my belief that the house was just a house. How people see and view the house is what is twisted about it. Being seen as a change of status, a way to profit and then finally as a place to live. Having one protagonist escape the wickedness of how the house was being used, one protagonists that ended up embracing it's destruction and the last protagonist that ultimately refused to do either.
Which is why I think the final protagonist was the only one with the happy ending. Perhaps in the end her willingness to move forward without letting go of the house, she found a way to keep everything that was valuable to her. Because despite the houses faults and decaying form she was still desperate to save it for a place where her and others can live and grow together. The literal definition of a home.
Though art is subjective so I can't say that I'm right or wrong. But I never got the sense that the house was cursed at all. Just that it wasn't being used as intended until the very end.
I loved it and didnt expect it to be that intense. I liked the bit in the second part where they were really ferrel, it was pretty brilliant and quite unnerving as i just didn't see it coming.
I really liked the story and the animation. I feel like the connection between the last two thirds was more obvious then with the first because of the anthropomorphic animals and because it was closer to the present day. I don't really understand the theme, but I would say it has to be the inability to move on or the lack of connection with your reality.
I think that what the movie is trying to say is that how the obsession for things can hurt us
In part 2, the characters are supposed to represent the beetles and larvae that the main character was trying to get rid of
I’m sorry, but why isn’t anyone talking about the monster in the basement from the first story????
What monster?
I think the reason it went from man in the past to rats in the present and cats in the future is because the rats and bugs (symbolising the fleas) were what killed man with the plague and the cats killed the rats
The message that I got from the last part was to let go of the past and realize that you can’t fix it and just learn to live and move on
I enjoyed this film so much, because I felt like I could connect to each part in a different way. So much so that I don't think I could say one part was my favorite.
Love anthology type stories.. 😚
@@MissedBandwagon I second this 100%
First part was hands down the best the way it was filmed and made was absolutely brilliant and I would love if they could continue a movie or something based off of that specific one the other to for me were okay but the first one was the best
I can't believe Mark Heap voiced Thomas!! I must have missed his name in the credits.
In regards to the 3rd story I loved it, I loved them all, but the third was for me a good way to finish it. It left me feeling pretty melancholy even though it was uplifting
It was such a calming film with a bit of horror. I really liked it!!!
Part 1 was great - Mia Goth has such a hypnotizing voice.
They were all great but the second story was my favorite and that ending creeped me out!
There were times in " The House " that reminded me of 1988's " Alice " by Jan Svankmajer. Very surreal and spooky.
I wish they just made the first part into a full length. I think it was the best one
When Mr. Thomas was on the floor drunk talking to mabel and the baby. Definitely the most terrifying scene I've ever watched in a cartoon/stop motion film.
Yeah that was so haunting!
The first 2 shorts were amazing. Watched like a million times
Yeah they are amazing!
I loved the last part and it actually moved me and made me sob a bit
The House was pretty great. I remember the title cover catching my attention and making me watch it. My favorite part is the origin story of the house because it was truly creepy and interesting
Part 1 was my favorite and I really liked the movie. The visuals were amazing, very pleasing to the eye, but also very creepy. I love it so much!!!
Where can I watch this??
I didn’t like it that much. I think more powerful messages and symbolisms could’ve been exemplified and paralleled in a more coherent matter among the three stories. It was weird, but not where the weirdness actually added to the story, it was just there as a shock factor. The weirdness didn’t solve any loose ends. I just expected more, and all the explanations I’ve come across fall short of what could’ve been a much larger message of greed or being trapped.
Definitely. I understand what they was trying to do, but it seems like they just through the endings in. Like they thought it was a big reveal but really there should have been a more coherent message.
Yeah. Like the second part, i think there isn't any message in there.
I felt so smart when i realized the mice are giant bugs during the dancing beetles part
I only recently watched it, but what a brilliant film. I'd have loved for the first part to be feature length, but it said what it wanted without overstaying its welcome. Brilliant.
