Hate it if you want but my opinion is brave is absolutely trash. Horrible movie id give it like an honest 1.7/10

It is one of my favorite animations of all time.

bunch of cry babies bro i hate people.

"Everything is political" type energy 😬

Did you watch your name engraved herein ? I think it kinda ressemble Ocean wave in so many ways. It’s a taiwanese movie about two bestfriend : For the first Time, an only boy school welcomes girls. One of the two friends will then be interested in one of this girls, leaving the other friend perplexed. The major difference is that it’s a boy love despite the whole story being the search for one's identity. I recommend !!!

I have to change my feet

Blue Gate Crossing was taken out of the catalogue... Where can I watch it??

Stop right there. They are just very good friends. Why make it about sex and shit instantly? Why can't men be good friends? Get your head out of the gutter!

U can tell it was the filmmakers overcompensating when the cheerful music gets progressively louder as taku’s “happy” memories of rikako flash by 💀

Do you not think that friends can love each other?

39:25 so a man swooped in on a woman's vision and "removed gender" from it, but only after establishing gender as something to be tackled in the first half of the film. why? it's like he discounted the value of exploration of gender & went on to rub that move in everyone's faces. it's giving "i resent women but i'm not really introspective enough to realize it, yet i'm impulsive enough to dunk on women regardless".

Alright, so the thesis seems to be "If the world depicted in a fairy tale has problems, and those problems are not resolved throughout the course of the story, that's 'insidious'." This is a silly worldview. It's an all-or-nothing mentality. Imagine telling a story about some people escaping the concentration camps, only for someone to say "Well yeah, but millions of others died, so it's irrelevant" or even worse "Fascists still exist so who cares?" Like, I'm all for stories about changing the world, but it's also fine to have a story about some individuals living within that world and all of it's problems. This is especially strange because, hey, EVERY WORLD HAS PROBLEMS; if we had to wait for utopia before we were allowed to be happy or celebrate good things, life would be miserable and we'd all drink ourselves to death tomorrow. So there's nothing with media about adapting to the world, with it's harsh realities, in order to have the best (after)life that you can, and celebrating those small victoies. Sorry man, trying to engage with you fairly here, but this comes across as some undergraduate socio-political claptrap.

video essay so good I forgot what it was originally about

It should be titled the BRAT , because shes the reason her mother turned into a bear 😂

EVen when u have a spouse the application process can be hard if your older and seen as a dependent youll have work visa

every disnye movie has this

Now I wonder what passport do you have… Afghanistan‽

Nope. Miguel's realization about family isn't hollow. You see Miguel constantly feeling abandoned by his family for understandable reasons and pushing away his family members. You see the realization of Miguel seeing everything that Hector lost and how Hector walking away from his family cost him. As well Miguel realizing how greed & fame corrupted Ernesto De La Cruz and led to him making cruel decisions that ruined other people's lives. Miguel didn't simply make a choice out of pragmatism. If that was the case, Miguel could have just gotten Imelda to give him her blessing instead of trying to help Hector fix his relationship with his wife & descendants. You are purposefully leaving out information, events & explanations shown in the film to try to make your "arguments" look better. But anyone who has watched the film knows that you are being deceitful & underhanded. If you don't like the movie. Fine. Not everyone is going to like every movie. But you are literally taking the events of the movie out of context in your video and skipping important moments to make the movie look worse. To answer your questions. The Film is pretty clear that the living people have to remember you or hear your stories from those who knew you in life to prevent from being forgotten. Its made quite clear multiple times that you need someone living to have a photograph and / or ofrenda of you for you to visit the living world. You are blatantly nitpicking at this point honestly. As for whether the same photo rule back in ancient history or how it works in other religions. Let's be honest if you apply that logic to most fictional series, not just Coco. Then yes you would have "plot holes" in most other fictional series as well. That is pretty blatant nitpicking of the movie. The rule in and of itself makes sense and doesn't contradict itself. You are blatantly nitpicking and looking for any minor problems to attack the movie. Its clear that you didn't like the movie and you just wanted to look for any possible problems you could find to complain about. Another Problem with your video. You are literally taking the "famous" thing out of context. The Movie isn't trying to send the message that being famous is a good thing. Literally the opposite. The Movie clearly portrays the message that shouldn't let the allure of greed & fame go to your head and corrupt you. The One majorly famous character is blatantly evil and for all intents & purposes whether you are famous or not, you are still dead. Honestly there isn't a single fictional series that talks about how their supernatural aspects affect every country / religion / time period in all of mankind. You are just nitpicking there. Just be honest with yourself. You wanted to find problems to complain about.

i watched this when it came out and 4 years later i'm watching it again after talking about this movie with friends. this video seriously discusses all of my feelings about brave and it's such a masterpiece. thank you :)

The fact that this guy's videos comment sections are still pretty relevant after 3 years should be a testament at how good his vids are. I hope wherever he is, he is doing well.

I wonder if the very FACT that they overlaid the Mexican culture drove them into the cowardice not to criticize the systems they establish. I wonder if they got confused between what part of this was Mexican culture to be respected vs what part was just wrong and needed to be criticized, or if they feared the audience wouldn't be able to delineate this. It makes your decision to strip the Mexican lens from your analysis all the more respectable. I felt questioning and very slightly off-put at first, but your reasoning was sound and put me at ease; but now I appreciate it more. I think Disney may have been too afraid of looking like they were attacking Mexican culture, when the actual things that would/should be attacked here are not even part of Mexican culture-- a delineation they could have made for themselves if they did better research and understood that the oppressive system they created was IMPOSED UPON how actual Mexican culture/belief works, a white thing outfitted in Dia de los Muertos get-up and garb.

Just wanted to say your videos were amazing, I would love if you started posting again. It sounds weird, but I am also curious as to what you're doing now - I'm guessing life goes on and one has less time for making extremely good video essays on KZfaq, but I would love to know that you're doing good.

I always come back to this video ❤

I don’t remember exactly what it was, but my mom is white and was moving to the US or getting citizenship. She said that the person interviewing her said that she was a ‘desirable’ immigrant? I might ask her about it idk

yeah i really didnt like this film. the suggestion towards the two male MC's being into each other is far more interesting than anything happening when Rikako's is mentioned. she really contributes nothing to the story. shes simply and completely infuriating whenever she appears on screen. its impossible to feel any sympathy given how much of an arrogant prick she is. and yet, for some reason, these two perfectly decent men end up falling for her. probably the worst thing about the whole story was how they tried SO hard to hype up Rikako as a character who has flaws and all that but she ends up being so irrelevant to the viewers.

Watching your review made me realise that the film had lot of potential. I really wish we could see some kind its spin off, in which things happened otherwise. (Though Yutaka was clearly straight and nothing could have worked out between them but anyway)

the way i was clapping my hands and whooping through the whole border control rant

This is a good take, the movie left a horrible aftertaste in my mouth by trying to casually gloss over the fact that the happy ending literally just applies to the MC's. Nothing significant really happened in the world building, so what point did the movie serve? What was the moral of the story? Be remembered or be curbstomped? Without setting a precedent for improval within the worldbuilding, why bother applying all of that moralizing? To tell the audience that there is no hope and you're _boned?_ ...sorry.

I thought when marine was there was also pretty queer

OMGGGGG (blushing)

Lets all agree humanity as a whole was a mistake sure a lot of people are good but theres an unacceptable amount of awful people that are always in positions of power to the point if it isnt the majority it might as well be at this point i just have a bad attitude towards everyone in a position of power due to how fucked the system is i dont care if they are just doing their job and dont agree with the system ive flat out flipped off border control officers and I'm a white american so i have the fucking privilege of not dealing with this bullshit

you can’t call me out like that bro.

15:00

They could have turned that around and made it so that the Calacas are the people who died with regrets and are therefore not yet ready to move on to the afterlife and linger in some sort of limbo. So Hector would be around because he died before he could see his family again and Ernesto remained because the guilt of having murdered his friend for fame. It could have been a story about letting go, atonement, forgiveness, these things, instead of being about illegal immigration and wealth inequality persisting beyond the grave.

guys guys, is it gay to have a best friend?

dawg i forgot about this movie lmaooo

"Pass as white" is a horrible awful thing for anyone to have to say. As a trans person that always has to wonder if I'll ever "pass" as a woman, for fear of being denied service in many establishments, treated like a second rate human, or even denied going to the bathroom, I'm closer than most in my country to understanding this, but even that doesn't hold a candle to being born somewhere, and basically being told you will never be able to leave. That's morally criminal and I hope that this video inspires everyone capable of changing that to do their part in doing so.

This guy is so good that he managed to quote Lenin in a video essay about a pixar movie, and somehow it fit in perfectly. I wish he would make more videos!

35:00 This is why you should live in the country side and become an expert in herbs. The cities are like a beacon of insanity, egotism, and stupidity on this earth. Hell, there is more slavery and more violence now today there was even in the medieval ages. That's what happens when you think you are better and above your ancestors, you drown yourself in smoke and mirrors even when the walls are rotting and caving in around you. Anyways, good video, thanks for reading.

30:49 Because they could never speak to themselves verbally in a way they could connect with each other, when you strip away Ellinor's ability to speak and requires Merida to help her, Ellinor is able to see things through the different eyes, she lived her whole thinking about tradition and a stale way of thinking while Merida loved going to the wild because she felt free from responsability, the scene where Ellinor hunts fish is an example of her starting to understand why Merida does not like to be controlled and told what to do, she feels a sense of freedom she never felt before, which is why she is so open in the end of the movie and why the other three agreed, in the whole movie she was seen as the authority, her word was the law.

Ey boys can be affectionate like that. But his just gay

I’m British and I hate still border control shows

3:35 One theory to answer that is collective coercive threat. (People who cheat society via stealing/lying getting punished by the masses) The easier it is for higher powers to control the masses (invention of throwing weapons, to armor, to guns etc) the greater the population and state can grow due to forcing people to cooperate in one big system. Police is part of that system, therefor it comes up often in popular culture for that coercive threat (police) to act upon our protagonists. Because if you want to change something about your world, you'll inevitably go up against that coercive threat to make a difference. Combined with artists leaning towards anti-authority, the greatest symbol of local authority will often be police. So when you want to teach children anti-authority messaging, you use police to demonstrate that higher powers don't always have your best interests in mind. Also they make for good jokes for the adults in the audience. That Shrek scene kills me EVERY single time. Thanks for reading!

Thank you for this awesome video!

At 20:00, what are the names of those five films?

God damn was I unaware

Justice for Brenda Chapman

the visa part made me cry. i grew up in a third world country and after moving to a first world one, i realise how no one really understands the hoops we have to jump through and the struggles we face.
