Okay there is lots of explanation. But I'm attached with these three points- i. When Ryan was talking about girls choices in the beginning of his job with coworkers. ii. When she met her Ex, she was just lost. iii. She was responsible for the whole shit. Girls are always like that.😊
Just finished the movie I like your ending better 👏
That's not the point of this movie at all. It's two people that drift apart for a variety of complicated reasons.
No one’s gonna talk how the girl saw her ex bf and suddenly everything became way too big of a problem that they needed to split …I’m sure and y’all know it too that she will hook up after the split smh
I've always said that was the turning point of their relationship. When she ran into her ex she compared the two and wasn't happy with her husband anymore
@@egyptwilliams9196 exaaaaaaactly …it’s typical toxic female behaviour which never gets talked these days Instead …It’s always lets blame the men for a failing marriage..when mostly they are the ones trying to freaking hold it together and all it takes from the female is a meetup with an ex who only screwed with her coz he was bored from spending his daddy’s money on whatever he wants The husband loves her and their beautiful daughter and was doing just enough to spend TIME WITH THEM!! That’s like every good guys dream and every good wife’s dream but those toxic women won’t let this idea ever to be admitted …and the wife blames him for that? For that? Tf what should’ve he done just spend daaaaays away for money while she can screw with her college buddy’s again lmao Man I know I’m going off heels but it infuriates me when I see people blaming the husband when it’s clear to most men like us what really broke the marriage it’s just sad …makes me think more that love these days is really just fake ….it’s always money smh
@@egyptwilliams9196 exactly man and that’s sad ..typical that’s how majority of the people are these days but it always comes back to the men to be blamed for a failure of a marriage.
I wish the movie was like this. Instead it's a one and done. Not even a two and that'll do
creo que el director quiso mostrarnos lo cruel que es la vida y como un amor tan hermoso igual tiene un final y así demostrando la crudeza y el realismo en la película, obviamente queda como un final inconcluso y por eso es mucho más chocante porque no hay el final feliz que todos queríamos
I agree! They are in love and have a child. They are a family. They need to work at communication with a serious attitude.
Great review. This is a gut wrenching film. But I think you're right. It seems almost like a cliche these days for a movie not to have a happy or redemptive ending.
I love how the ending is a bit open for interpretation.
You are right about the film romantising heartbreak. You are also right about the fundamental flaw of both the charecters in their innability to directly communicate their needs. Espcially Michelle. But the fact that they can't communicate with eachother just confirms how incompatible they have become. Hence the original ending is justified. In my opinions anyways lel I would like see a film similar to what you described though
Well, he has BPD and people don't understand BPD so they leave.
Really? I surely don’t know much about BPD but I thought he is just an sensible and emotional person rather than someone with psychological issues👀
She wanted more out of life, there's nothing wrong with that! I'm sure she gave him plenty of time to change...
The only thing that confuses me is why she couldn't be happy for him if he was feeling content in his work and life situation. He is a great dad and worked, even if it wasn't a super fancy high paying job...and while he needed to definitely work on his maturity for real communication, he said he was happy being a husband and father, and for her to say he should try to aspire to something else, I just don't think that is fair. It might land him in a soul-sucking job that wouldn't make him happy. I don't think the hustle and grind really is the best way to "be successful" in life.
@@cannedcatfood you're correct about hustle culture, but I don't think she was looking for that extreme either. I'm not justifying her wanting out of the relationship, but I think she just grew out of love with him. Doesn't make him a bad person, but I think he's settled a little. She wanted more, and that's ok. She didn't cheat on him, I think they're both good people, but wrong for each other. She should pursuit her heart and what feels right to her.
He'll no the movie was perfect
I think the beauty of the film is that it is not judgemental on how the characters live. It portrays a reality that we live today and it is sad, depressing and hopeless. It just is as it is. I think it just shows us the rawness of human emotion and the vulnerability of relationships. I think it is an example of what not to do in a relationship. So you're right, there should have been more communication. So, I think the movie's storyline works that way, as a lesson only.
GoGo and Baymax is clearly best bruh
That is why it is "blue"
I just watched this movie for a 5th time, lol. It’s my new favorite movie of all time.
nothing i like more than enjoying a movie and always finding connections to real life instances and emotions that could be felt day to day. When i grew older and rewatched alll my childhood movies, i realized how crucial the lessons they taught were. I also enjoyed relating them to what i learned from philosophers. Who would’ve thought that we would be relating Puss (didnt have to say it 27 times) to socrates for instance who also didn’t fear death as well Hahaha good stuff man keep it up
Well said, I appreciate your comment brother
Falling out of love is falling out of love. Not anything you can do about it.
I also would have liked to see them work it out and see love conquer all. This movie was showing something more real and they weren’t going to give the happy ending because that would be cliche and done already. It’s not often an immature parter suddenly decided to listen and be mature, it’s just not realistic. If he was in therapy fixing himself then yes, maybe and perhaps that could have been a good twist. She seems hard to please and emotionally stand-offish. It’s like she wasn’t going to allow herself to have it good, like dropping out of med school or subconsciously leaving the gate open and more self sabotaging behavior.
I think the movie portrays a pretty real situation. even if we know it shouldn't be like that, it is how it is
I also like to think that Puss isn't just afraid of Death, but also fears that he has wasted his life and that it might all come to an end before he finds meaning in it.
I love your ending.....
thanks, I'm glad you do
I agree, like I couldn't understand why she is done with him they didn't show us how it faled apart and honestly they made her the bad guy because something was missing. In my opinion I needed more details so I understand her more than his character.
She fell out of love with him. One could argue she was never in love with him. But he was there when she needed someone. And now she feels resentment towards him as if he held her back or kept her from a different life. But of course this isn’t Dean’s fault. Dean’s love was unique in that it was traditional and progressive in the areas that seemed to matter most. But in the end it wasn’t enough. Dean was also very comfortable with doing just enough to have enough. I think this translated as childishness and lack of ambition and made her feel overwhelmed. Feeling like the success of their family and moving up in the world was entirely dependent on her. I also felt like she wanted Dean to be as miserable as she was and it bothered her that he wasn't. I can honestly see and relate to both sides.
@@Crai6MacI could not see a problem with Dean. It felt she settled for him when he loved her so much.
@@pragya3450 It wasn't that there was a problem with Dean but with their compatibility. They just wanted different things.
@@Crai6Mac she seemed very selfish though to me. I guess if there is no love one can't do much. There are arguments like Dean being aggressive and he didnt help her and xyz, I personally could not agree with any.
@@pragya3450 I can definitely understand that perspective. I think we were all rooting for Dean.
Great review. I enjoyed the film but did feel let down at the end. Yes, I’m a hopeless romantic and I prefer your version.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it, and I'm the same, no shame in it
Very true
we need more Flynn and Rapunzels
Definitely wouldn't mind a Tangled 2, as long as they make a good plot for it and not treat it like an easy cash grab
tangled is the best disney princess movie ever made! also great analysis!
I wholeheartedly agree, and thanks for the nice comment, I appreciate it
gorgeous
If they ever decide to expand on this I am hoping they dive more into Kitty's character. Next to Perrito's her backstory is probably the most tragic, but unlike Perrito it's part of the reason she has trust issues, she's also lived a life long before meeting Puss which causes me to wonder if there is a deeper motivation behind her not showing up at Santa-Coloma for a reason other than Puss being so arrogant and self-absorbed.
Kitty was most likely lying when she said she didn’t show up. How would she have known Puss didn’t? And she didn’t, why would she have been so angry at him?
@@SomeGuyWhoPlaysGames333 We are talking about the same cat who was able to steal things from right under people's noses without them noticing, I feel like she would have figured it out. And Kitty's always been the type to play things close to the vest until someone breaks down her walls. Like when she talked to Puss about her claws or when Perrito told her about his backstory. And I'm pretty the reason Kitty was always on Puss' case in the movie because they still technically competing for the same score and as she told Puss in the first movie that's what she's all about.
My friend raised a point when we watched it together that the ending _could_ have been improved. She said that because the wish represents an "unattainable ideal", they should never have reached the star in the first place, or even have known it was real. She said it was unnecessary for them to actually confirm the existence of the wish or the star in order for them to complete their arcs; they could have realized that they had already gotten their wishes and decided to go home, as the wish no longer matters at that point. However, I did not fully agree, as reaching the star (not only made for a beautifully animated sequence but also) served to demonstrate exactly what and how much they were willing to sacrifice in order to go back to their old lives without the wish and embrace what they had. They had to get a real chance at the wish to PROVE (to show, not tell) that they really didn't feel they needed it. I do think my friend had a valid point, but taking into account the medium (in a live action movie, the ending would have been hard to pull off without a big budget; in animation anything is possible so its a good call to take advantage of any opportunities for showing off that magic) and the target audience (children have less patience for "the treasure was the friends we made along the way lets forget about the magical glowy thing and pack up and go home; because kids see things more objectively and can have difficulty understanding the underlying themes and nuance if it isn't demonstrated to them).
Your friend makes a very good point, and it would've been interesting to see it actually, but I think I agree with you in that the point might've been lost with a big portion of the audience, and the ending sequence we got was pretty good, I don't see them topping it off.
I find interesting that most of the characters got what they wanted. that's one hell of a wish. Puss, Goldilocks, Kitty, Death and Perrito got their wish granted in one way or another. I can't say anything about Jack Horner since I haven't seen the full movie but the rest get what they truly want.
You meant to post this on April 1st, right?
😂😂😂😂 shamefully no
Not often do you see a flawless execution of a full length feature film, especially animated. They come along, once in a decade or two, but this was the shocker of the last decade. I'm naturally a rewatcher. I'd rather rewatch a movie I like instead of looking for something new to watch. And, every once in a while, I'll watch something new, either because it's interesting, I've heard good things about it, or it's something that I've been looking forward to for a while. This flew under the radar, I legitimately didn't know about it until a few weeks ago. Bought it, watched it, loved it, and, this might be a bit silly or even embarrassing, I've watched it more times than some movies I've owned for a decade or more. I need an intervention. 😂
😂 😂 nahh you're good man, I've always had this philosophy when it comes to rewatching movies and shows, as long as it still brings you entertainment value, what difference does it make if you watch something new or not. It's all about enjoying the free time you have in a day.
remember when he yelled out “its morbin time” to the antagonist?, which leaves us wondering whether or not the sequel will be just inspiring.
Yes, truly one of the cliffhangers of all time
yay, people who look at this movie for its goods and not ONLY the flaws. people TRASH on this because of yokai. and pls pin dis :D
You got it
that puss counter was ultimately unnecessary, its a cringe but you put efforts to it. so respect
That's a very respectful way to voice your opinion, thanks for that
I wanna see more movies monster inc franchise it’s just two movies for me it’s one of my favorites and underrated I like the chemistry story of mike and sully but I don’t think we will get another one it’s been 10 years but not impossible!
Same, I would really like a third movie. btw there is a series called 'Monsters at Work'', its 10 episodes. I don't think it's as good as the movies when it comes to the plot and the themes but If you like the chemistry between Mike and Sully, give the series a shot.
7:43 they killed puss with a bell at the start of the movie and showed all of his deaths onscreen.
Yes you're right but these deaths were played off as jokes and at the end of the day he was still alive, when I said that I meant they can't have puss actually die
I curious what Joker forget among the villains with good motivations
litter mates, not owners
I don't think the goal of the film was to teach people how to communicate in a relationship, but to tell a bittersweet story about the imperfections of people and fickleness of love. However, I appreciate your thoughts on the film!
you're probably right, I'm just a sucker for those happy endings, I appreciate your comment
Right i lived thru this exact scenario so i can relate sometimes people just cant get along and it may just be that time period or in the future they come back and are different and yall are able to talk it out but knowing you wont date again becuz they have another life now..
@@TheMovieConnoisseur_the ending also made me really uncomfortable and confused because the story was actually unfinished to me, it is normal that the couples don’t know what to say at the beginning of their contradiction, the movie tells a great story of that. However, it’s not the end of the story, life goes on,they have to try to deal with each other together with their problem, at least, it takes to tell the real thoughts to realize they are not in love anymore, rather than just yelling at each other impulsively all the time…this is telling a good story however stop it at the very climax part just to make you feel sad:( they could have talked out of it like you said
Life isn't about happy endings if it was then we wouldnt grow old and die. Lifes a tragedy a beautiful tragedy that noone should take for granted but nonetheless just like nature everything comes to an end. @TheMovieConnoisseur_
The ending scene of them travelling to Far Far Away to "see some old friends" literally confirms that Dreamworks are bringing a Shrek 5 to the table. So looking forward to that!
The only way Cap Marvel can save the MCU is if they fire this man hating thumb toed hobbit.
what did she do
"Kids Movie" Oh god, if I hear one more person who thinks animation is for kids I will tick.
When people say its a kids movie, that doesn't mean adults cant enjoy it and that its exclusively for kids, its just that a bigger than normal proportion of the audience are kids, plus the concepts and the plot in the film are comprehensible to them. nobody is coming at you for enjoying puss in boots, I personally loved the movie
MCU is dead buddy. They have completely screwed up the whole multiverse saga. Honestly, I think “The Flash” is going to be a masterpiece.
Ah yes, totally not a DC fan.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 The Flash is D.O.A it has that insane cult leading teanny pedo as it's Star.
