Anthy's gesture of busting open the water pipe floods the floor with rosewater, and in its reflection we see a glimpse of what a revolutionized world would look like. Anthy and Utena not as agents being manupulated by men, but as women who are the champions of their own destinies and who CHOOSE to be together. They dance together as fully actualized women--actualized not in spite of but because of their love for each other. This scene is really remarkably beautiful and--dare I say it--revolutionary.
Oh I thought the reflection was only their past selves, as Anthy is dressed like a princess, referencing her role as the rose bride. Guess your interpretation makes sense too
Also the way the water burst open after Anthy struck it... When i first watched it, i thought anthy was going to hurt utena (re: the anime), but instead she destroyed something orderly that contains water... and it bursts in such high, overflowing speed. In the movie, Anthy is always taking initiative, so this reads to me as Anthy destroying the restrains holding her feelings together, and letting her feelings actually overflow and flood the both of them, separating her and Utena from the world under the two of them. Anthy's feelings being allowed to burst out and overflow gives the two of them a moment of peace where the only thing that exists is the two of them, and their feelings for one another. No abuser, no man, no rules control them. They dance freely, filled with joy, without anything intervening. Literally everything else is under their feet, they've ascended high into the stars. Literally the most romantic scene I have ever watched in my whole life, and I always seem to come back to watch it no matter how much time passes. Few years passed and it still makes me heart beat. God I adore it. Edit: oh and may I add, Anthy's feelings and freedom are literally washing away a certain someone symbolized by flowers than am not gonna mention because spoilers
@@bakugo9761 "When i first watched it, i thought anthy was going to hurt utena" The scene is very clearly framed in such a way as to intentionally mislead you into thinking that's what she was about to do upon seeing it for the first time.
@@bakugo9761 Utena was never abused by a man in this movie. If anything, Touga was a nice guy in this version and someone Utena had genuine, sincere, and good feelings towards.
The way Anthy brushes Utena's hair with her thumb melts my heart every time. It's such a small element and yet it adds so much life and gentleness to the scene and the character. You rarely see that kind of attention to detail in anime in regards to motions and gestures
This scene is the closest I've ever seen something properly visualize what love is, or at least how I feel about it. Tending the rose garden was Anthy's entire purpose in life, and she ruined it for one beautiful moment for someone she truly cared for. To make her happy. It was raining down water and roses on the people below, but she doesn't care. This moment is between only the two of them and nothing else in the entire world matters. (ofc I know it's deeply symbolic in other ways too but this is one way that really touched me)
this scene sums up the entirety of utena all the multi layered symbolism the love between utena and anthy the fact both have duel selfs everything in 3 minutes
When Anthy strikes the pipe she is doing two things, first is not betraying Utena's trust on her after she allowed herself to be totally vulnerable and honest with her she does not attack her when Anthy could have struck her at any moment with her childish dreams, Touga's death or with that axe and by doing so water, which is often a reflection of acceptance on the movie, takes over the roses the symbol of the prince, the childhood ideals, and on that instant we see both of them connect free from the ideal of the prince, we see them trying to connect with eachother as Anthy fulfills Utena's dream to see the stars even if it is not the same as Touga promised her.
God yes... yes yes. Especially about the betrayal part. It made me so nervous because of what happened in the anime, but instead something else entirely happens.
Touga and Akio wanted to show Utena illusionary stars from the planetarium but Anthy showed Utena the real stars that was how Anthy showed Utena true love.
They’re also shattering the concept of the ideal princess, they’re both wearing androgynous outfits, and a big theme is that in the end Utena is neither a prince or a princess, she’s just Utena.
Utena and Anthy are perhaps my favorite lesbian couple in Japanese Animation. The way they meet, how Utena feels about Anthy both in the series as well as in the movie. And how Anthy was originally easy to be taken and obedient only to have herself make her own choices in the end of the movie to break out of the school and life her own life the way she wanted. Even though many of the themes may be up to interpretation, I feel that there is more to Anthy than most would see the first time they watch the Revolutionary Girl Utena series. Even my niece enjoys the series out of the few episodes I have shown her though I may not be able to show her most of the series until she gets older. But this scene here, when they are dancing together. Is really beautiful.
Levi The Hedgehog Well in the 3rd arc, the one that is all about the End of the World, there are a few suggestive scenes where the guys are on the car driving with their shirts half off as well as Utena and Anthy when they are about to go to bed separately they both lean back that is also a bit suggestive. Also there are some mature themes in the 3rd story arc that I will save until she gets into her teenage years where she can understand a bit more. Mostly ok series to show her like Sailor Moon is, just a few scenes that might have her wait until I get the approval of my sister considering she decides what I could show her.
@@dragvrallass1658 That is the reason why I only show them the comedy relief episodes like the Nanami focused episodes. The one where she goes to India as well as the one where she turns into a cow. Thankfully the Sailor Moon DVDs of the past 5 years have provided entertainment.
Child: mum why is my sister called Rose? Me: because your mother loves roses Child: oh i see thanks mum Me: no problem Adolescence of Utena - Dance of Utena and Anthy
The first time I saw this movie I was fortunate enough to see it in (the equivalent of) a theater, thanks to my college anime club. It was a large lecture hall equipped with a high quality projector and dual surround sound, making for an overall wonderful experience. Now, years later, I still maintain that this is one of my absolute favorite romance scenes in animated movies.
I really love how all of them are the opposite of themselves in the movie : Utena : silent, kinda fragile Anthy : extrovert and direct Nanami : a cow Miki : closer to his sister Sayoonji : more violent, doesn't have a softer side Juri : doesn't hide her emotions, is carefree And so on.
I have to see Utena-anime because of this scene. this is one of the most beautiful animated scenes I have ever seen and it puts all dance scenes in Disney-movies to shame.
There’s something about this movie that a lot of people don’t know: It may be a retelling of the anime, but it also takes place after the anime itself, in an alternate universe that exists alongside the original one. If you remember what happened at the end of the anime, utena disappeared and anthy left to find her. Utena ended up in a reality prison that exists in the alternate universe, where she experiences a repeat of her entire life, hence why the movie tells the same story as the anime. It took anthy years to find this place. By this time, her personality has changed somewhat.
Anthy's duty as the Rose Bride is to take care and tender to the roses of the garden. In this scene she deliberately lets them all fall away and off the platform. She is no longer doing the duty of the Rose Bride, she does not feel like she has to.
Many things have been said about this scene. It’s otherworldly in its beauty, concept, execution, etc… Honesty, I’m in awe that no wedding has tried to replicate this (even with in reason in reality) Yet, after finishing the series years ago and coming back to the movie, I think this is the moment that I understood this as not a sequel or retelling of the story but a reimagining of an event Utena and Anthy that they never got to share together because of the ending of the series. Something about us and them seeing their reflection in the water makes me believe they remember everything and want to do things the way they want to this time around.
@@anacarolinemartinsdasilva9736 thanks, I just wanted to see the scene again because I was writing a story that featured a unresolved romance in a cyclic loop and how the couple’s attempts to thwart the other’s prophetic death is constantly being challenged by their own selfless actions, which just shows their selfish sides. I immediately thought of this series.
2. Trying to generalize Utena and Anthy's relationship as "bs" because it's not "true yuri" is pretty lame of you. One of the main points of Utena is that perfect fairytales and fairytale relationships don't exist, you just find whoever truly makes you happy. That's why Utena's boy outfit and their reflections of their "true selves" in the water are showing that they're both trying to be something that they're not. Red roses falling = abandonment of childish fantasies and acceptance of adulthood
@@kstarnovagal6672 that's not what fetishizing is but it it is insulting,, but in japan in anime and manga series where a homosexual relationship is one of the main focus like Utena, the series is regarded as a Yuri series, (Yaoi is a label used for Parody Fanart works in Japan, like fanart and doujinshi, Japan uses BL for mlm works) many Japanese articles even holds Utena as one of the best examples and one of the earliest anime series that avoids the '' burry your gays'' trope compared to very early Yuri series (unless you think Utena died in the tv series but that is a huge debate since Anthy confirms otherwise)
i can't believe some of yall watched this and thought of FRIENDSHIP who wanna be my best friend so we can dance together across the universe while roses fall from the sky
This scene has been living in head rent free for years, the most iconic anime scene ever to be made. every time I'm feeling depressed I go back to be reminded that there is beauty in this world
I can barely tell what you're saying here, I just see a lot of "bs," so I'm going to try my best to argue back with you. 1. If you're implying that the imagery of Anthy cutting the pipe was some kind of castration or anti-male symbolism, I think you should rewatch it o.o Nothing about Utena is anti-male, only about breaking free of oppression of abusive males. At least, in the show. This scene was a genuine gesture of friendship from Anthy, as Utena had just talked about wanting to stargaze.
I would figure the water overflowing is a metaphor for feelings and shes basically realizing she feels something for Anthy. It's like freedom from being contained. The water and roses can go where they want to go, free of rules.
bruh that hand squeeze at 3:00 ... I'm tearing up again this scene is so beautiful I'm so grateful for this show and the movie. this is one of those series I'll never forget.
this is the best scene in the whole series tv and film imo, just so well executed, its beautifully animated and visually striking and lovely, the mirroring of themselves as duelist and bride and their uniforms, the way they smile at each other, and the song is perfect as a backdrop to it all, just an amazing moment overall
It's very risky when you open up to someone. They could hurt you or hit you with an axe! Or something amazing could happen like being trusted or falling in love
Here's my take on this: The roses represent the concept of a prince. Their dancing makes the roses fall off from the platform, which represents their love overcoming the patriarchy. Their reflections in the water represent their true selves. The reflections switch places with them only after the roses all fall away
The entire series and the movie was incredible to watch. The animation is top notch and the visuals are beautiful. I didn't care too much for the symbolism and the story but it is a classic for sure.
this is a beautiful scene and really pulls at my heartstrings like no other can but GODDAMN the water damage that was probably caused by Anthy's stunt must have cost a fortune.
I just love the order of the top comments, it puts this movie in the awesome catagory just by pure review and summary. Really, does it not make sense? Utena for life!
Even though the movie tells the same story as the anime and the manga, it actually takes place after the anime itself (a lot of people don’t know that). If you remember what happened at the end of the anime, utena disappeared and anthy set off to find her. The movie takes place within a reality prison where utena disappeared, where she relives her entire life there. It took anthy years to find it. By this time, her personality has changed. After managing to place herself in this reality prison, she secretly helps utena escape.
i like this theory, but what would explain some of the other stuff (like for example touga and akio being dead, nanami straight up not existing)? i think this theory is much better then the ones i hear about the movie simply being an alternate universe but that point is what confuses me.
Hands down one of the most romantic and beautiful scenes in all of anime.
+Organic Fantasy yea.. nearly
Then watching Utena dying in the anime sucked
Taira Nunez it’s implied she survived afterward

This series overall is such art
I was watching this when I was 7 years old and oblivious by the fact this series was matured anime
Here's my take on this: The roses represent the concept of a prince. Their dancing makes the roses fall off from the platform, which represents their love overcoming the patriarchy. Their reflections in the water represent their true selves. The reflections switch places with them only after the roses all fall away
Idk, at the end roses are what destroy the castle and probably ohtori itself. Although the roses did come from akio’s body
Ema Franciooo yeah the roses might represent the time loop that he put them in
This hits different after the Madoka trailer that came out today.

This is probably my favorite anime scene of all time :)
I just love the order of the top comments, it puts this movie in the awesome catagory just by pure review and summary. Really, does it not make sense? Utena for life!
Those spikes on the castle in the end are really menacing.
I've got chills, no matter how many time I watch it ;3;
So beautiful!
I love how this show still holds up till now! :)
La mejor escena de demostración de amor que eh visto en mi pinche vida :'D
La neta :')

still gives me insane chills
Even though the movie tells the same story as the anime and the manga, it actually takes place after the anime itself (a lot of people don’t know that). If you remember what happened at the end of the anime, utena disappeared and anthy set off to find her. The movie takes place within a reality prison where utena disappeared, where she relives her entire life there. It took anthy years to find it. By this time, her personality has changed. After managing to place herself in this reality prison, she secretly helps utena escape.
Whoah interesting take yeah Anthy seemed a lot more outgoing and confident I'm the ova
i like this theory, but what would explain some of the other stuff (like for example touga and akio being dead, nanami straight up not existing)? i think this theory is much better then the ones i hear about the movie simply being an alternate universe but that point is what confuses me.
anarchy the alternate universe is the reality prison that utena disappeared to

I was on the premiere at Animexpo 2000. Was glorious
This was a damn good movie right there.
These two roommates are such good friends🥰
This has remained in my memories over 20 yaers
One of the most sublimely beautiful scenes in the history of the medium
One of the most beautiful scenes from a movie ever
As a straight religious woman, I find this a romantic and beautiful scene as well.
Beautiful, that's the only way I can describe this scene itself.
Aww so cute
