How do you feel about All About Lily Chou-Chou? Which films does it remind you of? Do you enjoy Shunji Iwai's other films? Which films would you recommend to those who loved All About Lily Chou-Chou? Thanks for watching!
I'm glad you've enjoyed the video! 😁 I feel similarly, I saw it for the first time when preparing for this video and certain scenes are still lingering with me.
I swear I have seen this movie before but I couldn't remember where until I rewatched it. Right before starting highschool I knocked out my health class over the vacation period and the weird teacher (who disappeared by the end of my first year) but this movie on and left the room until it was over. I didn't remember a thing about the film besides the ending which seemed a bit extreme but I kinda understood why it happened. We also watched the 2000 movie Pay It Forward that same week which I remembered was strange. Honestly, I was a bit too quick to throw a punch at someone to really get bullied. I went a big school with a lot of students in my year so when one of thr bullies tried to pin me against a locker, I just broke his nose and by lunch half thr school knew about it though I never got in trouble. The same kid tried to threaten me a year or two later when I was wearing a shirt of various communist leader having a party (Lenin had a lampshade on his head). I just asked if he was stupid and he left me alone. That said, I hated highschool (well, school in general) and found alot of help by listening to music. I fell in love with punk and jpop and 80s rock and 90s rap. As soon as I got a car I was driving everywhere aimlessly, just listening to the radio. This habit is something I still do to this day. Something about driving in the country listening to whatever I'm into at the moment (so much Suzanne Vega and Drum & Bass lately) just relaxes my mind and lets me decompress. Music has definitely got me through some times and has definitely saved me life.
Thank you for sharing this comment, I appreciate how open you are in sharing this but I see how this film could be very relatable for you too. There's something about being in the moment listening to our favourite artists that can be such a necessary escapism, like a personal solitude between ourselves and that artist. 🥲 Thank you for watching, I always appreciate your comments!
from what i’ve seen online i’m actually pretty sure that it’s pronounced “lily shew shew”. that’s probably my only critique of this video. i remember watching this for the first time and i wish i could watch it for the first time again and again
You might be right, my pronunciation references were Japanese voice recordings through Forvo - hearing pronunciations from the people who speak the language hasn't let me down yet. 🙊
@@YouHaveBeenWatchingFilms i just found this out myself but it comes from french! her name comes from the nickname of claude debussy's daughter, chou chou, which comes from "petit chou" meaning little cabbage!
Hi, all of the music in my videos is my own. I usually work on the music the same time I'm writing each video, so this track is still new, but I'll be making it available to stream soon. If you enjoy the music in my videos, you can find a lot of my stuff anywhere you stream music, including Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/4iCpMcoFFbVqEC5I36b8Kb?si=w03PDuLmRO2W2yf3jhwGSg 😁

Been meaning to watch this film for a while, guess I'll get around to doing it soon so I can watch this.
My fav film I'll never watch again. People tend to say this for requiem for a dream but imo this shit was harder to sit through. Fucking masterpiece
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I am so happy you have finally made this. I have been thinking a lot about this film since I watched it

Please, do more film analysis videos about dreamy films
I'm always open to doing more videos on dreamy films, I love covering them on the channel. 😁
Hey what's the opening track you use?
