This week we take a look at the 2012 film Padak. Don't be fooled by the family friendly looking poster, this is anything but a kid's film! Twitter: / reviews_steve Patreon: www.patreon.co...
I'm seeing a lot of people asking where they can find this film. I personally managed to get it from the Steam Store, but I'm not sure if that'll be the same for everyone worldwide. store.steampowered.com/app/468060/PADAK/
The reason for Padak's attack on the clownfish is cause she's a mackeral, much of their natural diet consists of smaller fish and plankton. Her reason for rejecting the dead fish was purely out of defiance to the flounder, cause eating the food he provides would ultimately make her as dependant on him as the others.
@@kopulsotree1721 my brain is now 파닥. That was an almost overpacked amount of info in a seriously compact statement! I learned a lot...but now I have even less(whoda thunk it possible lol) functioning brain 🙃😄 But seriously thank you for taking time to educate us.
There are multiple meanings, this film is originally called 파닥파닥, which translates to ‘flap flap’ which are sounds made when fish are out of water. The Korean dish is called ‘파닭’ where the 파 means Scallion and 닭 meaning chicken I know because I’m Korean
I think the humans are MEANT to look weird as the movie is from the fishes view and such, and in their eyes humans are like monsters for killing and capturing them.
@@cybersamurai2049 Yep. I am not so softhearted that i would feel that beings with a 5 second memory would have feeling or that they are capable of HUMAN EMOTIONS!!!
i always saw padak's clownfish eating spree as fueled by pure instinct and intense hunger, as she refused to eat the fish fed to them before unlike the others
And probably out of anger and desparation that she will get eaten by humans while the clownfish won't, and one of the clownfish even said that she should "go out and die like an edible fish" before.
If you watch carefully, she didn’t even eat the one that was mocking her. She ate the ones that had no part of mocking her. If anything, the one that was bullying her ended up living
Except we could just... kill the fish before gutting them. We're not going to die if we don't eat fish from tanks or animals from farms. That's not fucking "survival".
Well technically, the fishs don't/cant put cigarettes in your mouth (or play with in general) while your cut up on a platter still alive XD In that sense, I would deem them as such. I guess it depends on the human. Idk, I've seen some fk'd yters making silly youtube vids of eating fishes alive/pouring salt-like condiments on them with their scalps rip off and they are writhing in pain. But, it is an eat or be eat world etc. e-e; (Not saying you are wrong either in your statement just bringing up an idea) :)
Chaser Johnson I tried having the fishes vs fish argument with my father (who owned a pet store at the time) when I was 7. Both are technically correct terms.
According to TV Tropes, these are fish species the characters are based off: - Padak: atlantic mackerel - The Master: flatfish - Spotty: greenling fish - Anago: white-spotted conger eel - Nollaemi: snapper (as you said) - Jooldom: stripped beakfish - Sea Bass: well, a sea bass
mackerel rolled in garlic bread crumbs and then rolled into some fish fry with a pinch of salt fried in a pan with vegetable oil is too good to pass up. Sorry padak 😬😬😬
She cracks and eats the clowning but does stop and realize what she has done and it hits her hard. She did it cause she had refused to eat the whole time and has a moment of weakness. This isn't against the nature of her character
It probably also was out of anger and desparation that she will get eaten by the humans while the clownfish won't, and when one of the clownfish said "Go out and die like an edible fish".
@@manj10dot84 But that doesnt change what op said. Its actually a well known behavior in starving people, anorexics and bulimics. They starve themselves until their instincts take over and they gorge on all the food they can find almost in a daze. Once they get the first taste, they cant stop until they are full. It has killed a lot of starving people actually. They were starving, then they get saved so they eat a lot of food. More that they can digest with the little bit of energy they have left so they die.
Personally I love the way they revealed Padak's death in the film, it was done perfectly. We had all the slow suspense and build-up already from the Master, to do it again with Padak so soon would lose effect, and this way it's almost as if his horror got transferred to her. It wasn't mentioned in this review but I also adore the transition from the cartoon animated song portion to the death reveal. The cartoon is a very artistic, poetic depiction of Padak saying goodbye to the Master, but it's kind of slowly revealed so as you watch the story unfold you start to put the pieces together (along with the knowledge that the customer now wants mackerel), realising by the end of the cartoon segment that Padak has been caught and is being taken to the afterlife. Then the huge shock and stark contrast between such a subtle and beautiful, almost ethereal piece to the sudden confronting image of Padak being served in pieces and mocked by the customer creates such a feeling of outrage at how disrespectful and cruel this was.
You'd think the eel would escape. Eels are fantastic at getting out of tanks and because they can slither rather than flop around, they can travel across land much better than other fish.
I feel like Spotty and Padak's deaths were basically the breaking point for the master to work up the courage to escape and live. The entire film he accepted that they were all already dead and trapped forever.
why hasn't the eel escaped? eels can survive extended periods of time out of water, are amazing escape artists (coming from someone who has kept them as pets), are highly efficient at slithering across land and are intelligent, surely if a flounder can escape this tank and get into the ocean so can the eel, I have seen various freshwater eels travel great distances over land on wet nights to get to an isolated ponds
I think it’s because conger eels (based on what it looks like it’s a common conger eel) can’t live out of water for too long unlike their freshwater cousins. Also they can’t climb as well. This is probably due to the fact that it doesn’t need to
@@yeetusmann1796 no, conger eels do have the ability to breathe semi decently out of water if they remain moist and due to their body shape are far from inefficient at traversing a terrestrial environment, in fact an aquarist at the Tynemouth aquarium stated in regard to a conger eel someone dumped that "Conger eels are capable of surviving for some time out of water", in fact the eel in that case was stuck out of water for many hours before aquarium attendees picked it up, the whole time the animal crawled around inside the dry create it was dumped in, allegedly being able to smell the tank water but being unable to get into the aquariums due to being trapped in the plastic create, the animal almost died due to extreme dehydration from many hours without moist skin because there was little to no moisture in the air when it was dumped, but under the aquariums care the animal made a swift recovery, also keep in mind the tank is less then a hundred meters from the sea, on a rainy day or night the conger eel would be able to get to the water with great ease, given the amount of time that one spent crawling around in the create with absolutely no water
I wouldn't say Padak's death is without buildup or comes out of nowhere. Not only is it explicably said the order was changed to mackerel, but before Padak is served up there's an animated music number between Padak and the Master where they make amends, which ends with Padak being scooped up in a net, reflecting how she has been taken to be eaten.
would have been funnier if when the Master Flatfish finally gets back in the ocean, he is promptly eaten alive graphically by a shark, showing that in the end they may have been trying to return to the ocean but the ocean isn't exactly a gentle and cuddly place 😂😂😂
I thought that Master being eaten by a bigger fish is going to be the ending, since this movie basically giving the GRRM treatment to main characters like Padak and Spotty. Pretty disappointed.
I honestly like that kind of ending, but I think the idea is that the remaining fish now have a little hope since they've seen their master successfully get away. That could have potential for a follow up story that could actually live up to the original(though I'm not sure what it'd be called after the first one killed the title character).
@@dustyrose192 Eels aren't exactly easy to grab! So the eel should of had no problem escaping..however being born and raised in captivity had no idea of this fact
I showed this movie to my 6-year-old son. He loves it so much that he can't stop thinking about! He stays up all night crying for me to show it to him again. I'm so glad animation is only for kids! Because with all the other genres, I have to worry about if it has some adult themes, but not with animation! No! Animation is only for kids!
If someone ever says that to my face, I'm doing to show them the most adult animated shows out there and emphasize that it's ADULT ANIMATION. Hopefully I'll get through to them instead of those morons yelling in horror: "THIS IS SICKENING! WHO WATCHES THIS!? YOU? YOU'RE *SICK!* WHAT IF THE CHILDREN SEE THIS?!"
I'd watched the movie immediately after watching this, and turns out Padak only went hog-wild on the clown fish, because she wasn't eating in the tank, and was ravenously hungry, so she lost her mind in a fit of hunger and ate the smaller fish in desperation. Plus food chain reference or something, cause clownfish are prey items to larger fish breeds.
@@CharaDreemurr15243 The fish she refused to eat are not what she'd naturally consume, so they're are more like peers on even footing. So the concept of eating an equal is jarring/unnatural, a clownfish is just another prey fish to be consumed. (Only referencing the food chain/ecology, nothing more). Not to mention she was mainly not eating by the end to avoid becoming subservient to the flatfish.
@@nicholasgutierrez9940 Yeah, I'm pretty sure after being cut up like that they're *not* alive, they're just twitching, for the same reason that chickens flap and twitch after having their heads cut off (it also looks like the spinal cord is still in tact). Also, sometimes salt makes muscles twitch (look up any video of like, squid tentacles reacting to, I think soy sauce, despite being very much dead they twitch and writhe cause of how the salt reacts with it). I've help clean fish for eating and I can confirm that despite being very very dead, they did give the occasional twitch when I started cutting in. So no the uh, chopped up fish are defo dead (at least irl, idk about in the movie).
Nicholas Gutierrez that doesn’t apply to all situations. That applies to situations when the animal is dead. Ghost nerves react AFTER the animal has been killed and brain receptions stop occurring directly. Most Asian markets still have living animals served on plates. Simple as that.
It was very unsettling. And yes the fish were still alive. They don’t just die instantly after all. It’s like someone getting their limbs cut off. You will die of blood loss, but you never just die automatically.
Nicholas Gutierrez most likely... but if they just cut the skin and muscle and don’t slice through the vital organs or arteries they might survive until they suffocate...
The clownfish started to insult Padak, pretty much calling her nothing but food. She was probably hungry from not eating and angry at being called worthless.
I love sushi. I love my pet fish. The way I think of it is that this is the circle of life. But I don't like the brutality of the flim as my grandmas friends are sushi chiefs and have assured me that most places will kill the fish before cutting it up.
Yeah plus most crabs wont eat a fish unless its dead or has been dead for several days. Another thing is that fish won't eat a fish that is alive. I've seen fish at pet stores and usually if one is dying they will leave it alone until it's actually dead. Plus resturants are not supposed to feed the fish dying fish as the dead fish could be sick and could potentially get the customer sick. This flim really feels like PETA propaganda tbh
I appreciate a lot of Korean cinema because it's extremely realistic in going against the grain for tropes. Heroes don't always win. The protagonists aren't always redeemable. It's depressing, but it also teaches you a lesson. Korean films have impacted me more than any other nation's, and I've seen so few. (Of course, I know this means they I might have just gotten very lucky in my selection, but still ...)
This is so koreaboo sounding. This is like one of the few Korean film where the title protagonist doesn't survive. Just like other nation's films. Try watching Code Geass or Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones or the taxi driver or the American Psycho or Water ship Down or When the wind blows. Literally, so much films playing with unconventional tropes. You honestly sound limited by what you stated.
@@acrellamalol you sound even worse. I'm sure you're a real intellectual, only watching whatever someone else tells you is popular, game of thrones is hot trash
@@mcgfn your reply holds up if I only mentioned popular media-- coz-- in what universe is water ship down popular??? Code Geass? Especially when the wind blows?? No, I wasn't just mentioning popular shows, and yes I am gonna gloat that I've seen experiments with tropes from around the world. But my og reply line up wasn't just randomly picked btw, it was specifically to address op's point attributing unconventional tropes to only Korean media; every one these I mentioned meets most of the criteria they praised: protagonists aren't redeemable, protagonists die, it's depressing, heroes don't win. This isn't even bringing up how game of thrones fairs compared to the rest of the list; because it doesn't hold up. It's not a masterpiece compared to others I mentioned. But that's beside the point, the earlier seasons esp met some of op's criteria. It's not worth goal shifting from the gist I'm saying. there's been so much innovation/new takes in various media. So, YES, Im proud that I don't stan countries, and my point of comparison when I judge sh*t shows, innovative shows, or masterpieces... Is actually based by seeing all forms of media.
But the fish don’t suffer that much, that’s the same thing as what is happening in slaughterhouse, you people are just not used to see the reality of food
@@laitdejabot9890 Fished all my young life, processed chickens too. You're wrong. If you don't stun the fish first, it is very aware it's being cut open and filleted. Many will fight like hell to prevent such processing. Also need to mention, slaughter houses are built to cause a quick end to the animal with low stress. Thus improving meat quality over all. Look up Temple Grandin and you'll see what I mean. The reality of meat is that you have to kill something to get it. The reality of GOOD meat is that you have to do so in the quickest way possible, so as not to prolong the animal's suffering. If you can't do that, then you are a sad, pathetic human being.
Honestly, it should end like that. There's so many movies that try to play up this notion that wild animals are all peace loving hippies and only people kill animals to try and guilt us into not eating animals, when in reality animals eat each other constantly and are no safer in the wild. This movie was subverting that all the way until it has that ending. A movie with this tone and realism should not end with "and he lived happily ever after".
I believe the message of the film is "to have hope". Padak's purpose as a character was to give hope to the other characters. At the end she did accomplish that with Spotty and the flat fish. I really liked the ending, because I didn't expect it, very unique, and also fitting since he learned from Padak that hope cannot be lost, even if you die for it.
I know it’s meant to be a joke but I think that’s an ordinary clownfish. Nemo was born with a small, shaky fin and all the clownfish in that tank have two normal fins.
@@simpalert [mild spoiler warning] They said "go die like an edible fish" in reference to the fact that people didn't see Clownfish as fish to eat, unlike the Mackrel.
I like how unique this movie is. The main character isn’t the really the story. The master seems to be more of a main character than the actual main character. And the real Amin character dies. Very intriguing.
@@zedmercury2605 Padak has the most influence over the plot though so it only makes sense, everything that happens in the story can be tied directly to her.
@@RubyCarrots3232 fair, I have not seen the movie so I can not truly confirm nor deny your statement, If like, in a decade I finally watch it I'll go back to this comment and finally say "you're wrong and here's why you skallywag" Heh 좋은 하루 되세요
They're also quite slimey and hard to grab. My dad caught one and brought it home and put it in the sink. I hear my mom scream and run into the kitchen to see an eel wiggling around on the kitchen floor. My dad had left for a bit and the eel had been out of water for atleast an hour by that point. I ended up putting it back into the sink but idk what my dad did with it, we certainly didn't eat it and we also didn't know how to prepare it either
Spoilers: This made me google if fish can live after their heads are cut off. Apparently fish do die after their head is cut off, but fresh killed fish tend to move and twitch because of the neurons in them. This doesn’t take away from the absolute horror of flatfish seeing the death fish’s mouth moving, considering a fish wouldn’t know between living or just neurons making its dead body move. Love this movie, made me think twice before craving fish tacos. ALSO; padak eating the clownfish was out of desperation. Mackerels eat small fish in the wild, I can only assume seeing them along with starving herself for days triggered the response of just eating them. EDIT; thanks for the likes y’all, some comments have clarified that fish actually CAN live and are probably alive in the film during the flatfish near death scene. I’m not too educated on the culture in Korea, but it just adds to the horror knowing that fish are suffering silently and people aren’t humane :(
It’s interesting how many animals still move about after decapitation. If I remember correctly there have been some accounts of even humans moving their limbs a bit after execution
Actually fish and other cold blooded animals can live for awhile after depcapitation.cuase their metabolism is slower and their brain requires less oxygen.you can also tell a fish is still alive by gill movement cuase that is the first thing to go after death.
Reminds me of a UA-cam video I saw once where some guys put salt on frog legs and the legs started moving. Aaaand the legs weren't attached to the body....
PADAK is a award winning Korean animated movie for adults. The movie is in the list of one of the most saddest movie endings. The movie is mostly known in Korea because the movie is just about a normal thing that happens everyday, we eat fish, and fish get caught and put into tanks in fish restaurants. The special thing is that this movie is representing that, but in a fish's view. Yes it is very sad. I dont like how this youtube video is making this movie seem like a dark stupid movie. It's a great movie. You should watch it.
@DANSIM RG COMPARE imo this thing has only a few things that make it good. It is by far not a great movie. This is a great message to show, to open people’s eyes, but when it comes down to what makes a good STORY, this doesn’t check the boxes.
I like how the movies makes you think its about animal cruetly. But then reminds you animals are just as cruel but their cruetly is just done differently from ours.
it's only a shame this movie didn't do well, I'm all for a "anti-eating fish while they're still gasping and alive" message. I honestly completely forgot that some people even eat them like that until I remembered that whole controversy with that Korean mukbang channel-
@@nuclearglory0363 I fish hyperventilate and rub themselves aggressively on surfaces when their skin is irritated. I'm pretty sure they do give a shit when they're diced up and served alive.
i dont give a shit about humans killing animals to eat, yet i completely agree with this. why the hell do people WANT to eat shit while its still alive and gasping for air that will not come?
It'd be like if Frozen had everyone in Arendelle freeze to death because of Elsa's eternal winter. But Elsa learns to cope with the guilt by saying the people deserved it for pushing her away for a power that isn't her fault.
I’m thinking it’s one of those activist movies. While I agree that many of their work are good, I do tend to find activists do a lot of promotion for their materials and agendas in a way that guarantees that their message gets across to large swathes of the population. It could be seen as pretty irritating and even disheartening, as was the case with people bringing children to see this film.
@@veronicapiccinini1981 Without fish being fresh or at least preserved, you'd most likely gonna get sick from the rotten flesh. Maybe putting down the fish humanely would be a better option if that is an option.
This movie goes hand in hand with Ssoyoung's channel She's a korean asmr youtuber that brutally dismembers various sea creatures and eats them alive, sometimes pours salt on them and laughs It really illustrates the total lack of humanity towards sea creatures as a whole, and it's supposedly for entertainement of all ages
Why are you focused on 1 UA-camd and not talking about the fish markets which the movie is about. I mean yea I guess it is kinda shitty how she eats them alive but people in Asian countries do it all the time. Also what’s the problem with putting salt on fish who live in the ocean?
The scenes where Padak and Spotty talk about the ocean reminded me of when Eren and Armin did. It also helps that Padak's VA has a similar voice to Armin's VA.
I like how, even though Steve usually takes his reviews pretty seriously and honestly, he still has great little edits that make an otherwise horrific scene kind of funny, like at 7:22
My therapist : You should eat fish to help with your depression, as it contains nutrient that improve mood. And also try to relax ! I don't know, watch some cartoon or something...
If you're looking for another dark Korean kids' film, try Leafie: A Hen into the Wild. There's three versions though: the censored version (called Daisy instead of Leafie), the uncensored version , and the ACTUAL uncensored version, which has an additional scene near the end. It's one of my favorite movies, but maybe bring tissues.
There's also "Underdog" (or "A Dog's Courage") by the same director that is pretty good! Didn't hit as hard as Leafie for me, but it's definitely a tear-jerker to see dogs be so callously abandoned by their owners.
Oh im sera little timmy "discreetly" won't be scar for life about this film beside this movie is all about talking animals all kids love a movie about talking animals what can go wrong
I'm little Timmy but decided to watch this... and now I want to just forget i ever saw this and slap myself for not even listening everytime he puts a warning
Honestly, considering how much whiplash this film gives based on your synopsis, I was honestly surprised the Master actually got to survive. I figured that a bigger fish would just devour him in one bite mere moments after he landed in the ocean.
Me: Just got back into keeping fish tanks with fancy goldfish and this movie looks interesting and cute. Me AFTER seeing this movie: ABORT! ABORT! ABORT! Also I would like to point out as someone who has pet fish ... they are social, friendly, feel pain and have a rather good memory despite what people say. They can learn tricks and recognize faces. Fish aren't just throw away pets. They take a LOT of work. A LOT of care and love. Fish should NOT be a throw away pet for you or your kids. The fish tanks in Finding Nemo were too small and overcrowded which is a HUGE reason why they weren't happy as well.
Yes! I had to explain to my aunt why shouldn't just get goldfish just because her kids want some. I had to explain how much more work they require than other pets. The best way I can describe fishkeepong is like trying to closely emulate nature in a tiny box in your living room.
As a man who regularly killed his own food, the part where the customer sticks the cigarette in padaks mouth really irked me. Like, really irked me. One thing I was always taught was to never mishandle a dead animal. And grab it as delicately as possible. And for a life form to die, only to be mocked by a stupid customer... Edit: fuck the likes you know you made it when arguementS started in the reply section. AND IM NOT EVEN PART OF THE ARGUEMENT!
@@symon9440 a better reasoning would just say it's life. Some animals won't care about what they eat, some even hunt for sport and play with their food. They would probably do the same to us.
@@not_an_actual_stalker original it? or the recent remake? Cuz it looks like these comments descend in age as you go down. I remember being freaked out by the original 'IT'. Animatrix I was at least a teen. and sausage party feels like it just came out to me. (just looked it up, and it did. 2016) If you remember the original IT, do you remember HOUSE? that was what scared me as a kid. His g/f literally turns into a monster and he kills her then she turns back to a normal body... Gave me trust issues...
I think the way the humans were animated is clever. Humans aren’t aliens to us - but they are to the fish. It’s difficult for us to see ourselves as aliens, but the way it’s animated pulls it off really well. Not only how creepy the people look but also in how slow & janky they move - fish are extremely fluid & agile in the water - it makes sense to see that contrast when looking at humans in their perspective This can also be seen in the environment, the water, ocean & nemo tank has a sense of being a fairly sparse, clean & a fluid place - whereas the humans open air world is full of grime, clutter & everything grounded. The human’s world of densely populated cities & claustrophobia is then replicated onto the fish by shoving them all into small overcrowded tanks - the fish are subjected to a completely an alien world.. helping us see the perspective of our self’s being alien.
I think this film really is attempting to make a statement on the absurdity and trivial nature of human intentions (depicted through fish of course). A bunch of the characters try to define themselves through some moralistic standard but they all end up contradicting themselves in desperate times. Nothing really matters when your life is on line. This is unfortunately the human condition.
And yet it was because the Master finally understood what empathy was that he found the strength to escape. He drew strength from Padaks death. And Spottys death is what knocked some sense into him. I believe this movie is a statement about how its hope and persistence that are the key to salvation. Yeah, it's not guaranteed but it's better than submitting into a nihilistic view of "nothing matters we're all going to die" Look to each other for strength and inspiration. You either accept the way things are and die OR Rebel and die trying.
This is like walking into a room with a baby then hear the baby start speaking like a demon as the room turns red and blood and screams come from the walls
Nah, that’s more like supernatural horror. This more akin to (Trigger warning I guess. This wound up being oddly specific and even darker than I really intended initially, but it’s the analogy my tired brain happened to conjure. I apologize in advance for any potential trauma or repressed memories this may remind one of. Not apologizing if it’s nightmare fuel though. As far as that’s concerned, just imagine the sleep gotten by the brain that made it. You have been warned.) if the baby just got placed down next to its slightly older sibling who watched it drown in its own vomit after spitting up while laying on its back, but not saying anything because their mother was an abusive drunk and they didn’t think to help because they were fucking four and just terrified of everything. Then they grow up with mental issues because of that and all the additional trauma the procure, have their own set of dysfunctions when they become a parent and incidentally raise a child that becomes an abusive alcoholic, causing their first born to sit in quiet horror as their baby sibling drowns in their own vomit.
Annistar Yeah, my casually morbid mind conjured a repeating story of neglect and abuse across generations to create a better analogy for how the movie pulls the rug from under you. It turned out a bit more... wow... than I had expected, and I just could see it hitting a chord close to home with certain people, so I decided to be nice and give a tad bit of forewarning. Can’t say I’ve ever known anyone who’s had that exactly happen to him, but I have heard some stories about people who watched their baby siblings die because they were too young to be watching them alone and something happened and they just panicked or couldn’t reach anyone.
I love eating fish, but the idea of eating something that is still alive, wiggling and feeling... I would discourage anyone I could to go to such restaurant
As someone who loves sushi...the thought of eating sushi that is literally still in death throws/still alive even is pretty disgusting to me ._. I want it to be very dead when I eat it thank you! The ending I'd expect for this movie would be the restaurant getting shut down for health violations...keeping wildcaught, untreated fish alongside farm raised stuff, then serving it raw and never frozen, seems like a good way to give people parasites...
big fish eat little fish, That's a rule in fish keeping and I just cringed at that Nemo part, but kids are careless and shows accurately how it happens.
Except in the song where is teeth are sharper than all the other fish. I feel like that's because he is the most deceitful and rotten of all the fish in the tank and that his smile is a facade to hide his true nature.
It would be more violent than the actual movie and probably would have real footage too. Some bullshit sob song overtop. And im saying this as someone who is a vegan--
_I don't know. AnIrishMusician commented about how "this animal film doesn't depict humans as irredeemable monsters and the animals as pure angels. Everybody is just out to eat and survive". PETA wouldn't make this movie like that._
The scene where you stated how Padak's death was out of nowhere, the musical number beforehand basically foreshadowed it. It showed that Padak got scooped up and, in a way, accepted her death.
I'm seeing a lot of people asking where they can find this film. I personally managed to get it from the Steam Store, but I'm not sure if that'll be the same for everyone worldwide.

The McPeePee
The reason for Padak's attack on the clownfish is cause she's a mackeral, much of their natural diet consists of smaller fish and plankton. Her reason for rejecting the dead fish was purely out of defiance to the flounder, cause eating the food he provides would ultimately make her as dependant on him as the others.
I’m surprised that the employee/ manager wasn’t shocked to find a mackerel in the aquarium
So this film is scientifically correct?

i always saw padak's clownfish eating spree as fueled by pure instinct and intense hunger, as she refused to eat the fish fed to them before unlike the others
Not only that but mackerel are one of the many fish that only eat things that are small enough to fit in their mouth
And probably out of anger and desparation that she will get eaten by humans while the clownfish won't, and one of the clownfish even said that she should "go out and die like an edible fish" before.

I like how this animal film doesn't depict humans as irredeemable monsters and the animals as pure angels. Everybody is just out to eat and survive.
Except we could just... kill the fish before gutting them. We're not going to die if we don't eat fish from tanks or animals from farms. That's not fucking "survival".
@@teaz3139 the film is more gritty than real life actually is, filleting a fish really isn't that bad looking n stuff.
Well technically, the fishs don't/cant put cigarettes in your mouth (or play with in general) while your cut up on a platter still alive XD In that sense, I would deem them as such. I guess it depends on the human. Idk, I've seen some fk'd yters making silly youtube vids of eating fishes alive/pouring salt-like condiments on them with their scalps rip off and they are writhing in pain.

According to TV Tropes, these are fish species the characters are based off:
- Padak: atlantic mackerel
- The Master: flatfish
- Spotty: greenling fish
- Anago: white-spotted conger eel
- Nollaemi: snapper (as you said)
- Jooldom: stripped beakfish
- Sea Bass: well, a sea bass
pretty sure padak is a pacific chub mackerel, and nollaemi is a red seabream rather than a snapper
also you mixed up anago and jooldom lol

She cracks and eats the clowning but does stop and realize what she has done and it hits her hard. She did it cause she had refused to eat the whole time and has a moment of weakness. This isn't against the nature of her character
Yeah people don't get that scene very often from what I've noticed
No, She was still going at it, just getting stopped by the statue and the decoration.
I agree with the comment above. She was still going after it, her tongue was even trying to move towards it.
It probably also was out of anger and desparation that she will get eaten by the humans while the clownfish won't, and when one of the clownfish said "Go out and die like an edible fish".
@@manj10dot84 But that doesnt change what op said. Its actually a well known behavior in starving people, anorexics and bulimics. They starve themselves until their instincts take over and they gorge on all the food they can find almost in a daze. Once they get the first taste, they cant stop until they are full. It has killed a lot of starving people actually. They were starving, then they get saved so they eat a lot of food. More that they can digest with the little bit of energy they have left so they die.
Personally I love the way they revealed Padak's death in the film, it was done perfectly. We had all the slow suspense and build-up already from the Master, to do it again with Padak so soon would lose effect, and this way it's almost as if his horror got transferred to her.
It wasn't mentioned in this review but I also adore the transition from the cartoon animated song portion to the death reveal. The cartoon is a very artistic, poetic depiction of Padak saying goodbye to the Master, but it's kind of slowly revealed so as you watch the story unfold you start to put the pieces together (along with the knowledge that the customer now wants mackerel), realising by the end of the cartoon segment that Padak has been caught and is being taken to the afterlife. Then the huge shock and stark contrast between such a subtle and beautiful, almost ethereal piece to the sudden confronting image of Padak being served in pieces and mocked by the customer creates such a feeling of outrage at how disrespectful and cruel this was.

I think that's part of the whole theme of the movie, even if you are perfectly able to escape, you probably won't try because of fear
What if he was dead inside
I feel like Spotty and Padak's deaths were basically the breaking point for the master to work up the courage to escape and live. The entire film he accepted that they were all already dead and trapped forever.
The flatfish at the beginning desperately repeating "Help me" hit me way too hard...

why hasn't the eel escaped? eels can survive extended periods of time out of water, are amazing escape artists (coming from someone who has kept them as pets), are highly efficient at slithering across land and are intelligent, surely if a flounder can escape this tank and get into the ocean so can the eel, I have seen various freshwater eels travel great distances over land on wet nights to get to an isolated ponds
Probably because he had already lost his will to live
Plot twist: The eel was bred to believe he can't slither away.
I think it’s because conger eels (based on what it looks like it’s a common conger eel) can’t live out of water for too long unlike their freshwater cousins.
Also they can’t climb as well.
This is probably due to the fact that it doesn’t need to
@@yeetusmann1796 no, conger eels do have the ability to breathe semi decently out of water if they remain moist and due to their body shape are far from inefficient at traversing a terrestrial environment, in fact an aquarist at the Tynemouth aquarium stated in regard to a conger eel someone dumped that "Conger eels are capable of surviving for some time out of water", in fact the eel in that case was stuck out of water for many hours before aquarium attendees picked it up, the whole time the animal crawled around inside the dry create it was dumped in, allegedly being able to smell the tank water but being unable to get into the aquariums due to being trapped in the plastic create, the animal almost died due to extreme dehydration from many hours without moist skin because there was little to no moisture in the air when it was dumped, but under the aquariums care the animal made a swift recovery, also keep in mind the tank is less then a hundred meters from the sea, on a rainy day or night the conger eel would be able to get to the water with great ease, given the amount of time that one spent crawling around in the create with absolutely no water
That maybe because it believed the flounders Talk on how its hopeless to escape. Maybe after seeing the flounders escape it will now try.
I wouldn't say Padak's death is without buildup or comes out of nowhere. Not only is it explicably said the order was changed to mackerel, but before Padak is served up there's an animated music number between Padak and the Master where they make amends, which ends with Padak being scooped up in a net, reflecting how she has been taken to be eaten.

would have been funnier if when the Master Flatfish finally gets back in the ocean, he is promptly eaten alive graphically by a shark, showing that in the end they may have been trying to return to the ocean but the ocean isn't exactly a gentle and cuddly place 😂😂😂
I thought that Master being eaten by a bigger fish is going to be the ending, since this movie basically giving the GRRM treatment to main characters like Padak and Spotty. Pretty disappointed.
I was totally prepared for that too! 😅 Little disappointed when he didn’t! 😂🤣😂
I Tough that too... but Honestly it would have been kinda disapointed
I honestly thought a net would pull him back up.
I honestly like that kind of ending, but I think the idea is that the remaining fish now have a little hope since they've seen their master successfully get away. That could have potential for a follow up story that could actually live up to the original(though I'm not sure what it'd be called after the first one killed the title character).
The eel could have easily escaped and got back to the ocean. Eels can travel on land like snakes if they have too.

I'd watched the movie immediately after watching this, and turns out Padak only went hog-wild on the clown fish, because she wasn't eating in the tank, and was ravenously hungry, so she lost her mind in a fit of hunger and ate the smaller fish in desperation. Plus food chain reference or something, cause clownfish are prey items to larger fish breeds.
Damm...and I thought killing younglings was bad.
I mean it's nature though, in the wild mackerel eat smaller fish. I wouldn't call it wrong.
@@RubyCarrots3232 In terms of her moral standards of refusing to eat other fish, it's kinda wrong by her. In the wild, it's not uncommon, of course.
@@CharaDreemurr15243 The fish she refused to eat are not what she'd naturally consume, so they're are more like peers on even footing. So the concept of eating an equal is jarring/unnatural, a clownfish is just another prey fish to be consumed. (Only referencing the food chain/ecology, nothing more). Not to mention she was mainly not eating by the end to avoid becoming subservient to the flatfish.

Its unsettling how the fish are still alive after being cut up.
He's pulling your leg, they're dead. They move because the brain keeps sending electrical signals. As for the movie, probably aliens.
@@nicholasgutierrez9940 Yeah, I'm pretty sure after being cut up like that they're *not* alive, they're just twitching, for the same reason that chickens flap and twitch after having their heads cut off (it also looks like the spinal cord is still in tact). Also, sometimes salt makes muscles twitch (look up any video of like, squid tentacles reacting to, I think soy sauce, despite being very much dead they twitch and writhe cause of how the salt reacts with it).
I've help clean fish for eating and I can confirm that despite being very very dead, they did give the occasional twitch when I started cutting in.
So no the uh, chopped up fish are defo dead (at least irl, idk about in the movie).
Nicholas Gutierrez that doesn’t apply to all situations. That applies to situations when the animal is dead. Ghost nerves react AFTER the animal has been killed and brain receptions stop occurring directly. Most Asian markets still have living animals served on plates. Simple as that.
It was very unsettling. And yes the fish were still alive. They don’t just die instantly after all. It’s like someone getting their limbs cut off. You will die of blood loss, but you never just die automatically.
Nicholas Gutierrez most likely... but if they just cut the skin and muscle and don’t slice through the vital organs or arteries they might survive until they suffocate...
The clownfish started to insult Padak, pretty much calling her nothing but food. She was probably hungry from not eating and angry at being called worthless.
also probably to show them what it's like to be food
Mackrwel eat clownfish has a diet
Most importantly the Clowns reminded her of Pennywise!

First time?
I love sushi. I love my pet fish.
The way I think of it is that this is the circle of life. But I don't like the brutality of the flim as my grandmas friends are sushi chiefs and have assured me that most places will kill the fish before cutting it up.
Yeah plus most crabs wont eat a fish unless its dead or has been dead for several days. Another thing is that fish won't eat a fish that is alive. I've seen fish at pet stores and usually if one is dying they will leave it alone until it's actually dead. Plus resturants are not supposed to feed the fish dying fish as the dead fish could be sick and could potentially get the customer sick.
This flim really feels like PETA propaganda tbh

I appreciate a lot of Korean cinema because it's extremely realistic in going against the grain for tropes. Heroes don't always win. The protagonists aren't always redeemable. It's depressing, but it also teaches you a lesson. Korean films have impacted me more than any other nation's, and I've seen so few. (Of course, I know this means they I might have just gotten very lucky in my selection, but still ...)
This is so koreaboo sounding. This is like one of the few Korean film where the title protagonist doesn't survive. Just like other nation's films. Try watching Code Geass or Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones or the taxi driver or the American Psycho or Water ship Down or When the wind blows. Literally, so much films playing with unconventional tropes. You honestly sound limited by what you stated.
@@acrellamalol you sound even worse. I'm sure you're a real intellectual, only watching whatever someone else tells you is popular, game of thrones is hot trash
@@mcgfn your reply holds up if I only mentioned popular media-- coz-- in what universe is water ship down popular??? Code Geass? Especially when the wind blows??
No, I wasn't just mentioning popular shows, and yes I am gonna gloat that I've seen experiments with tropes from around the world.
But my og reply line up wasn't just randomly picked btw, it was specifically to address op's point attributing unconventional tropes to only Korean media; every one these I mentioned meets most of the criteria they praised: protagonists aren't redeemable, protagonists die, it's depressing, heroes don't win.
This isn't even bringing up how game of thrones fairs compared to the rest of the list; because it doesn't hold up. It's not a masterpiece compared to others I mentioned. But that's beside the point, the earlier seasons esp met some of op's criteria. It's not worth goal shifting from the gist I'm saying. there's been so much innovation/new takes in various media. So, YES, Im proud that I don't stan countries, and my point of comparison when I judge sh*t shows, innovative shows, or masterpieces... Is actually based by seeing all forms of media.
Korean cinema isn’t just Park Chan Wook and Bong Joon Ho movies, Koreaboo. They have their fair share of paint by numbers type movies too.
I can't help but feel like the humans were made creepy on purpose...
Hence how well the CGI did its job!

@@laitdejabot9890 you’re just looking for an argument
@@laitdejabot9890 Fished all my young life, processed chickens too. You're wrong. If you don't stun the fish first, it is very aware it's being cut open and filleted. Many will fight like hell to prevent such processing. Also need to mention, slaughter houses are built to cause a quick end to the animal with low stress. Thus improving meat quality over all. Look up Temple Grandin and you'll see what I mean.
The reality of meat is that you have to kill something to get it. The reality of GOOD meat is that you have to do so in the quickest way possible, so as not to prolong the animal's suffering. If you can't do that, then you are a sad, pathetic human being.
Imagine if as soon as he gets into the ocean he gets eaten by a shark.
I honestly expected that in the ending credits. Like even the hope of escape just ends tragic.
I was expecting that or maybe a Fisher man catching him again
Like in the meg where it eats the boat? Or perhaps when jaws eats the girl
Honestly, it should end like that. There's so many movies that try to play up this notion that wild animals are all peace loving hippies and only people kill animals to try and guilt us into not eating animals, when in reality animals eat each other constantly and are no safer in the wild. This movie was subverting that all the way until it has that ending. A movie with this tone and realism should not end with "and he lived happily ever after".
What a plot twist
I believe the message of the film is "to have hope". Padak's purpose as a character was to give hope to the other characters. At the end she did accomplish that with Spotty and the flat fish. I really liked the ending, because I didn't expect it, very unique, and also fitting since he learned from Padak that hope cannot be lost, even if you die for it.
To be fair, that Nemo was being racist/classist against the Mackerel.

They said "go die like an edible fish" in reference to the fact that people didn't see Clownfish as fish to eat, unlike the Mackrel.

I like how unique this movie is. The main character isn’t the really the story. The master seems to be more of a main character than the actual main character. And the real Amin character dies. Very intriguing.
I personally think the title shouldn't have been "padak" as it gives too much spotlight to a character who just dies unceremoniously at the end

Spoilers: This made me google if fish can live after their heads are cut off. Apparently fish do die after their head is cut off, but fresh killed fish tend to move and twitch because of the neurons in them. This doesn’t take away from the absolute horror of flatfish seeing the death fish’s mouth moving, considering a fish wouldn’t know between living or just neurons making its dead body move. Love this movie, made me think twice before craving fish tacos. ALSO; padak eating the clownfish was out of desperation. Mackerels eat small fish in the wild, I can only assume seeing them along with starving herself for days triggered the response of just eating them. EDIT; thanks for the likes y’all, some comments have clarified that fish actually CAN live and are probably alive in the film during the flatfish near death scene. I’m not too educated on the culture in Korea, but it just adds to the horror knowing that fish are suffering silently and people aren’t humane :(
It’s interesting how many animals still move about after decapitation. If I remember correctly there have been some accounts of even humans moving their limbs a bit after execution
Actually fish and other cold blooded animals can live for awhile after depcapitation.cuase their metabolism is slower and their brain requires less oxygen.you can also tell a fish is still alive by gill movement cuase that is the first thing to go after death.

PADAK is a award winning Korean animated movie for adults. The movie is in the list of one of the most saddest movie endings. The movie is mostly known in Korea because the movie is just about a normal thing that happens everyday, we eat fish, and fish get caught and put into tanks in fish restaurants.

Sorachi the Eggo Was it Soyoung-?
Well, that’s assuming fish actually give a shit
@@nuclearglory0363 I fish hyperventilate and rub themselves aggressively on surfaces when their skin is irritated. I'm pretty sure they do give a shit when they're diced up and served alive.
I agree, but I always wonder; why do east asians have generally long lifespans, the answer is a diet of fish and vegetables
i dont give a shit about humans killing animals to eat, yet i completely agree with this. why the hell do people WANT to eat shit while its still alive and gasping for air that will not come?
2:03 the family friendly plot.
This film is a bit of a cruel and nasty joke with those posters
It'd be like if Frozen had everyone in Arendelle freeze to death because of Elsa's eternal winter. But Elsa learns to cope with the guilt by saying the people deserved it for pushing her away for a power that isn't her fault.
@@alexvaughan1013 i'd agree to that, girl was treated poorly, girl takes revenge and murders everybody, makes perfect sense to me
I bet many parents and their kids didn't expect that at the time this film came out.
i think the movie poster is false advertising, imagine bringing your kids to watch this without knowing the true nature of the movie's tone.
I’m thinking it’s one of those activist movies. While I agree that many of their work are good, I do tend to find activists do a lot of promotion for their materials and agendas in a way that guarantees that their message gets across to large swathes of the population. It could be seen as pretty irritating and even disheartening, as was the case with people bringing children to see this film.
It's like when my dad rented Watership down. That thing helped shape my childhood.
Well it's a Korean film. Asians tend to be smarter than Americans.
Also in korea, people are blame about advertisement of this movie
Of course, many children crying in fear while fishes are killed brutally
Shouldn't there be a rating or was the movie unrated when it came out?
Alternate Title: Waterfish Drown
BuT fIsH dOnT dRoWn.
@@Rajang6 haha it was just a Watership Down joke man
smh watership down is so good this is just horrifying
honestly in my opinion padak is a masterpice its insanely well made the animation is just crazy, the graphics, shading everything is insane!
Moral of the story: eat fish that are killed humanely.
You'd be surprised how that isn't done in the fish market, ever.
@@supersaiandemon Agreed
Or eat just carcasses, aka already dead fish
Or just be a real man and eat it alive with your teeth while it fights you. Then primal scream your victory
@@veronicapiccinini1981 Without fish being fresh or at least preserved, you'd most likely gonna get sick from the rotten flesh. Maybe putting down the fish humanely would be a better option if that is an option.
When I eat anything I make sure it's dead. That whole live food thing makes me sick.
One day eating animals live will be eradicated everywhere, I’m sure.
Six, Only when we get star trek replicators.
Fans of Vore would probably like a word
Sick in the morally/ethically reprehensible sense or sick as in nausea?
GodOfOrphans, Both I think.
This movie goes hand in hand with Ssoyoung's channel
She's a korean asmr youtuber that brutally dismembers various sea creatures and eats them alive, sometimes pours salt on them and laughs
It really illustrates the total lack of humanity towards sea creatures as a whole, and it's supposedly for entertainement of all ages
It's even more disgusting that it's labeled ASMR, ASMR in general is weird.
Jesus that is absolutely horrific. That shit shouldn't ever happen, let alone be racking up views on UA-cam... 🤢
Someone show her this movie
Why are you focused on 1 UA-camd and not talking about the fish markets which the movie is about. I mean yea I guess it is kinda shitty how she eats them alive but people in Asian countries do it all the time. Also what’s the problem with putting salt on fish who live in the ocean?
@@mikeylp6832 More than 50% of the time she does it on freshwater fish. Also, believe it or not, the levels of salt matter, example: The dead sea.
Never thought I'd see a fish beat another fish while screaming give me back my brain cells
"But cartoons are for children..."
Thanks for giving me another film to throw their way to test that theory.
Have you seen the adventures of mark twain if you haven't go rent it trust me it's good

The scenes where Padak and Spotty talk about the ocean reminded me of when Eren and Armin did. It also helps that Padak's VA has a similar voice to Armin's VA.

I just snickered so hard from this-
*Just the image*
I like how, even though Steve usually takes his reviews pretty seriously and honestly, he still has great little edits that make an otherwise horrific scene kind of funny, like at 7:22
My therapist : You should eat fish to help with your depression, as it contains nutrient that improve mood. And also try to relax ! I don't know, watch some cartoon or something...
@Beaker Bot Sometimes
@Beaker Bot GOD IS GREATT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least eat the fish dead.
I say this in the nicest way... your therapist can go f*ck themselves.
Explains why I’m depressed. Ever since I realized I’m allergic to salmon I’ve been terrified of new seafood. Canned tuna is all I feel safe eating.
If you're looking for another dark Korean kids' film, try Leafie: A Hen into the Wild. There's three versions though: the censored version (called Daisy instead of Leafie), the uncensored version , and the ACTUAL uncensored version, which has an additional scene near the end. It's one of my favorite movies, but maybe bring tissues.
Definitely bring tissues.
I assume the tissues are only needed for the actual uncensored version?
Ar9 90 there are plenty of emotional scenes in the censored uncensored version, but for the most tears, you’ll want the actual one.
There's also "Underdog" (or "A Dog's Courage") by the same director that is pretty good! Didn't hit as hard as Leafie for me, but it's definitely a tear-jerker to see dogs be so callously abandoned by their owners.
you know a film's good when there's two uncensored versions.
Quality kids film everyone. Certainly won’t scar little Timmy for life
Oh im sera little timmy "discreetly" won't be scar for life about this film beside this movie is all about talking animals all kids love a movie about talking animals what can go wrong
Be honest... you are little Timmy
Mini Prokk I’m actually not lmao.
I'm little Timmy but decided to watch this... and now I want to just forget i ever saw this and slap myself for not even listening everytime he puts a warning
Oh yes Timmy will love this movie about animal cruelty.
Honestly, considering how much whiplash this film gives based on your synopsis, I was honestly surprised the Master actually got to survive. I figured that a bigger fish would just devour him in one bite mere moments after he landed in the ocean.
Me: Just got back into keeping fish tanks with fancy goldfish and this movie looks interesting and cute.
Me AFTER seeing this movie: ABORT! ABORT! ABORT!
Also I would like to point out as someone who has pet fish ... they are social, friendly, feel pain and have a rather good memory despite what people say. They can learn tricks and recognize faces. Fish aren't just throw away pets. They take a LOT of work. A LOT of care and love. Fish should NOT be a throw away pet for you or your kids. The fish tanks in Finding Nemo were too small and overcrowded which is a HUGE reason why they weren't happy as well.
K. J. VernFeathers i have a very old fish that likes to run after my finger when i tap the glass its pretty smart and knows when food is ready for it
Aw that's cute
Why the fuck would somebody throw a pet away?
@@JS-pk8gv You'd be surprised how heartless people can be toward their animals.
Yes! I had to explain to my aunt why shouldn't just get goldfish just because her kids want some. I had to explain how much more work they require than other pets. The best way I can describe fishkeepong is like trying to closely emulate nature in a tiny box in your living room.
As a man who regularly killed his own food, the part where the customer sticks the cigarette in padaks mouth really irked me. Like, really irked me. One thing I was always taught was to never mishandle a dead animal. And grab it as delicately as possible. And for a life form to die, only to be mocked by a stupid customer...
Edit: fuck the likes you know you made it when arguementS started in the reply section. AND IM NOT EVEN PART OF THE ARGUEMENT!
lmfao its just a fish they have a brain of a fetus
@@symon9440 its still an living creature. it feels pain. Its same as saying its okay to kill a baby since their brain isnt developed
@@Batkhuyag1300 well at least babies can develop unlike fishes they stay braindead for the rest of their lives so idc about them lol
@@symon9440 a better reasoning would just say it's life. Some animals won't care about what they eat, some even hunt for sport and play with their food. They would probably do the same to us.
aren't the fish heads only moved by the last electric impulses?

For me it was IT

Animatrix I was at least a teen.
and sausage party feels like it just came out to me. (just looked it up, and it did. 2016)
If you remember the original IT, do you remember HOUSE? that was what scared me as a kid. His g/f literally turns into a monster and he kills her then she turns back to a normal body... Gave me trust issues...
I think the way the humans were animated is clever. Humans aren’t aliens to us - but they are to the fish.
It’s difficult for us to see ourselves as aliens, but the way it’s animated pulls it off really well.
Not only how creepy the people look but also in how slow & janky they move - fish are extremely fluid & agile in the water - it makes sense to see that contrast when looking at humans in their perspective
This can also be seen in the environment, the water, ocean & nemo tank has a sense of being a fairly sparse, clean & a fluid place - whereas the humans open air world is full of grime, clutter & everything grounded.
The human’s world of densely populated cities & claustrophobia is then replicated onto the fish by shoving them all into small overcrowded tanks - the fish are subjected to a completely an alien world.. helping us see the perspective of our self’s being alien.
I think this film really is attempting to make a statement on the absurdity and trivial nature of human intentions (depicted through fish of course). A bunch of the characters try to define themselves through some moralistic standard but they all end up contradicting themselves in desperate times. Nothing really matters when your life is on line. This is unfortunately the human condition.
And yet it was because the Master finally understood what empathy was that he found the strength to escape. He drew strength from Padaks death. And Spottys death is what knocked some sense into him. I believe this movie is a statement about how its hope and persistence that are the key to salvation. Yeah, it's not guaranteed but it's better than submitting into a nihilistic view of "nothing matters we're all going to die" Look to each other for strength and inspiration. You either accept the way things are and die OR Rebel and die trying.
@francesquitor 2.0 Or even have the neurological capacity for a conscious awareness of pain.

This joke is old
This is like walking into a room with a baby then hear the baby start speaking like a demon as the room turns red and blood and screams come from the walls
Nah, that’s more like supernatural horror. This more akin to
(Trigger warning I guess. This wound up being oddly specific and even darker than I really intended initially, but it’s the analogy my tired brain happened to conjure. I apologize in advance for any potential trauma or repressed memories this may remind one of. Not apologizing if it’s nightmare fuel though. As far as that’s concerned, just imagine the sleep gotten by the brain that made it. You have been warned.)
if the baby just got placed down next to its slightly older sibling who watched it drown in its own vomit after spitting up while laying on its back, but not saying anything because their mother was an abusive drunk and they didn’t think to help because they were fucking four and just terrified of everything. Then they grow up with mental issues because of that and all the additional trauma the procure, have their own set of dysfunctions when they become a parent and incidentally raise a child that becomes an abusive alcoholic, causing their first born to sit in quiet horror as their baby sibling drowns in their own vomit.
NeCROWmancer that went from 0 to 100 reeeaaall fast
Annistar Yeah, my casually morbid mind conjured a repeating story of neglect and abuse across generations to create a better analogy for how the movie pulls the rug from under you.
It turned out a bit more... wow... than I had expected, and I just could see it hitting a chord close to home with certain people, so I decided to be nice and give a tad bit of forewarning.
Can’t say I’ve ever known anyone who’s had that exactly happen to him, but I have heard some stories about people who watched their baby siblings die because they were too young to be watching them alone and something happened and they just panicked or couldn’t reach anyone.
I love eating fish, but the idea of eating something that is still alive, wiggling and feeling... I would discourage anyone I could to go to such restaurant
Its such a disgusting thought to have a creature watch you eat its flesh while it wiggles in pain
@@enzoiguess340 it can also give you food poisoning
As someone who loves sushi...the thought of eating sushi that is literally still in death throws/still alive even is pretty disgusting to me ._. I want it to be very dead when I eat it thank you!
The ending I'd expect for this movie would be the restaurant getting shut down for health violations...keeping wildcaught, untreated fish alongside farm raised stuff, then serving it raw and never frozen, seems like a good way to give people parasites...
That's...a good statement. Is it even legal to give people fish that hasn't been treated for parasites?
Agreed . I prefer my shrimp dead thank you

Yeah it’s how fish when they say that humans are monsters, no pun intended
big fish eat little fish, That's a rule in fish keeping and I just cringed at that Nemo part, but kids are careless and shows accurately how it happens.
Why do all the "regular" fish have carnivore teeth, but the eel has, like, human dentures?
To make it more creepy
Except in the song where is teeth are sharper than all the other fish. I feel like that's because he is the most deceitful and rotten of all the fish in the tank and that his smile is a facade to hide his true nature.
Maybe the eel's got a good dentist?

It’s like something PETA would make if they got a budget for a movie.
It would be preachier Than Gods Not Dead If PETA made this.
It would be more violent than the actual movie and probably would have real footage too. Some bullshit sob song overtop. And im saying this as someone who is a vegan--
_I don't know. AnIrishMusician commented about how "this animal film doesn't depict humans as irredeemable monsters and the animals as pure angels. Everybody is just out to eat and survive". PETA wouldn't make this movie like that._
They have the budget but like spending it on euthanizing healthy animals instead.
Touhoulicious Yeah, PETA would probably just make it like a movie where they kind of guilt trip people. Like how they did with Pokémon
The scene where you stated how Padak's death was out of nowhere, the musical number beforehand basically foreshadowed it. It showed that Padak got scooped up and, in a way, accepted her death.
