- A classic film by the director of Ghost in the Shell, Mamorou Oshii. It's surreal and hard to explain, but also downright beautiful.

silver mt.zion just hits differently when it's playing over angel's egg clips
what's the song used at 11:32? it does not seem to be the two songs you mentioned here.
Pardon my ignorance oh AllmightyLoli, but could you tell me the name of the song that you put at the end of your videos when you put the name of your subscribers?

Brings me back to when I stayed up to see Adult Swim. Simpler times. Sometimes better, sometimes worse, but definitely simpler.
@@CrazyChillDog thanks man 😘
Wait, are you guys telling me you don’t wander through the streets at sheny hours, looking for the sky fish and the umbrella lights to shine upon you as you experience the euphoria of ancreation?
Do you guys not even experience the wonder of seeing the electric Ocean spark ideas into the minds of the sea apes?

Honestly, it's really refreshing to see a movie with themes of religion (mainly Christianity) that isn't full of over the top neo-contrarianism. Sad to say I've been completely numbed by modern movies that try and fail exploring these themes.
Bro busted out the neo contrarianism on a Tuesday afternoon
Where ?
@@odhrandoherty8689there is no such thing as “neo” contrarianism. He just said that to sound smart lmao
@@thesaucyprophesy2939
Even so, he makes a good point. Im also sick of the "Christianity bad" movies made by people who always hated Christ
To be honest, you have become the channel I would go for a good recommendation on anime
this channel is the one i go to for a good recommendation of anythin
One of the biggest reasons behind me suggesting this was to hear your interpretation of the story and you certainly didn't disappoint.
It honestly kind of fascinates me how many different views I've seen of this film's meaning. I've heard plenty of religious interpretations some saying it's pro faith, others anti faith, some have said it's a strange metaphors for coming of age, one dude I know said it was a warning against authoritarianism.
No matter how many people I show this to I always get a different reaction from them every time, and that to me makes it stand out permanently above so many other works of art.
I think it is pro-humanity. Like the guy said, once the girl lost the dead egg she was caring for; she fell into the ravine and remembered her purpose. Soon after, eggs started popping up meaning there most likely is a chance for humanity
All I know is that Mamoru Oshii was experiencing some doubt in regards to his own faith, which inspired him to make this.
The ring city dlc from dark souls 3 was directly inspired by this movie
Gwyn's youngest daughter Filianore is a reference to the girl and when both eggs are broken it leads to a change in the world of course it's not a 1 to 1 comparision but parallels are there
miyazaki would surely NEVER plagiarize anything
@@dikasmusha6194 Plagarism? It's a reference. And again the only major direct connection is the egg held by Filianore.
@@invidatauro8922 miyazaki plagiarized the entirety of berserk among other manga, at least the first couple of games he directed were good.
@@dikasmusha6194 He has been very open about using berserks imagery as he's a fan of it. And includes plot and character references. Again, openly. I would love for you to demonstrate where he out right STOLE stuff directly from berserk adn pushed it as his own product.
@@invidatauro8922 you can pick anything from souls and there is a 99% chance it's something he took from berserk
I remember Chris Stuckmann ( of all people ) recommending Angel's Egg and was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it. The existentialism, the character designs, the setting and the ambiguity really kept me invested. I don't think the director knows what the film is about lol.
I've heard the director was struggling with his faith. At the very least, he definitely made it that way based on how he felt even if he can't explain it in full detail. It basically defeats the purpose of expressionism or whatever style this is. Just ask David Lynch.
The 13 angels stand guard always tears me up
Dammit Loli, I'm trying *not* to have a breakdown.
Good shit tho, pretty kino
Like a mental breakdown? Don't do that, stop it.
Sometimes instead of picking at the abstract, the abstract picks at you, and then you might even end up picking at yourself.
I always thought this movie was about a guy trying to get an omelet.
Making the mother of all omelettes
@@allenzale342 Can't fret over every single egg!
That is one very valid of way of looking at it
This is why I like your channel, TheAlmightyLoli. I admit that I wasn't interested in anime/manga. But when I stumbled upon your channel during the last of us part II fiasco, I watched your anime reviews and I checked said shows andf ilms. Keep it up!
Lol same here
The Ringed City DLC for Dark Souls III references the hell out of this movie
Oh god, this movie really is an experience. I think this movie was the first time I realised what emotions are. Man, what a movie
Kind of a weird statement but yeah, it's so spot on. Movies like these make me feel like Im experiencing emotions for the first time, or even new ones.
I'll watch this later, when I'm feeling too optimistic about life and need to sink myself down.
Some theory’s are that the man is ether Jesus or Noah or he could be some nameless traveler
Sounds cool. Will look out for it. Gives me some the "Phantastic Planet" vibes with the blue giants.
I remember coming home from a party and drunkely finding this movie on some random cable channel (it was the version with human actors spliced in) it took many years before I could find this movie again.
The little girl is indeed very similar to Filianore an egg-protecting goddess that appears in the last dlc of Dark Souls 3.
Damn hitting me hard with that adult swim nostalgia at the end there.
*_Your take on this film is thought provoking and informative. Thanks for giving me a reason to break out this disc and revisit it with a fresh set of eyes._*
*_I hope we see your take on other Oshii works in the future, Patlabor and Sky Crawlers just to name a couple._*
Always good to see new content from you. While I've only seen memes of this it's got such striking visuals I've wondered what it's about. It seems everyone else must wonder what it's about too because that's the point. Good luck with your endeavors sir, and comment readers. Godspeed.
The closest we'll ever get to an anime by Andrei Tarkovsky (Oshii cited him as a major influence.). Pure fuckin Kino.
Mamoru Oshii always got me fucked up
God, how I love these reviews and just with one of my favorite movies.
Perhaps the film is a prophetic revelation predicting the legendary "You have to eat all the eggs" 4chan post.
Great job Loli. Always glad to hear different perspectives on this film. A refreshing take. Cheers.
I have watched this twice and I haven’t seen any move like this
I highly recommend it not because you’d like it or because it’s the greatest Anime move but because I haven’t seen another move that’s a moving existential painting and you probably haven’t ether
Just watch it for the experience
(Edit it’s on UA-cam)
I remember going to the University of Anchorage Alaska anime club back in 89' with a friend to check it out. They showed someone's pirated copy of Angel's Egg, which was interesting when compared to other anime I had seen at the time, but I could not stand the pretentiousness of the college students analyzing every nuance yet none really enjoying the movie.
My interpretation: Jesus comes back from the dead to make the Dove (possibly the holy spirit who knows) come back to it's senses and "deliver the good news to the world". I'm 99% sure i'm wrong but, who knows.
I mean, it makes sense, I think.
Instead of God sending Jesus to fulfill the prophecy and forge the new Covenant, instead He sent Jesus to see that the Old Covenant was forged, to begin with. Hence his sacrificing the girl’s friendship and comfort to save Humanity and the world.
Your channel is pretty great. You didn’t expect it to grow, but you deserve the growth. I’ll definitely check this out eventually. Cheers.
5:02 excellent choice in music. I damn near got shivers down my spine when i realized what you used here.
What song is it?
I’m trying to find it because I recognized It immediately but can’t remember from where
Thanks for putting your video’s background music in a comic.
When I Finished Dying was fucking masterful.
Tetsuya Nomura becoming the main character designer for FF rather then Amano is a crime
Your channel’s “About” made me subscribe.
I really do need to go back to college.
Just looking at the visuals give me chills. I love the old anime look.
Thank you Demo D
I reckon it’s about consuming your life trying to disprove or prove the existence of god or some other belief, deifying the figure in scripture rather than the ideas and values it’s trying to get you to adopt, like “being a good Christian” by restricting yourself and reprimanding others rather than actually helping people.
I remember I checked out this movie because I found the whole thing on UA-cam at the dead of night and was interested in the hopeless atmosphere. Adventuring in a broken universe like this has always been a dream to experience for at least a little while and this movie succeeds in making you feel like your in this world. If your a person into forgotten in the 90’s then please consider checking it out.
Great video!!
This movie is one of my favs thanks for reviewing it.
I want another film like this...
Still one of my all time favorites.
My interpretation after watching the movie was that the fishermen were followers of false gods and the man with the cross was supposed to be a nhilist or athiest who believed in nothing and wanted to tear down others faith but the girl was faithful and through her actions humanity had gained a second chance
Good video man.
A good review about a movie that's almost impossible to review well.
You've earned a sub.
I thought the spaceship thing with the statues was supposed to be the ark
*Did the guy who walked away from Christ come back to Christ?*
wtf this isn't demolition d
Considering the director's mindset at the time, the egg could represent hope for the girl (= religion), but simultaneously it's the reason the world is so bleak. The man, not convinced the egg will bring the promised salvation, but curious enough to examine it, examines the egg, and like one would destroy religion by examining it thoroughly, ends up destroying it in the process, since it's the only way to examine it. The girl's world shatters and she falls into the ravine because of this, but for the tragedy that this is, the world is clearly better (yet not perfect) for it in the end.
Or it's just utterly nihilistic and we are meant to look for meaning, just like the characters, but the point is that there is none, and we're just trying to ascribe meaning to a sequence of events due to our human need to do so, even though there is no inherent meaning to them.
It just came out on Blu Ray in Japan, with a new cover by Yoshitaka Amano.
I've been wondering whether you have any serious thoughts on the work of Yoshiaki Kawajiri. You've seen most of them, even if you don't know his name. I think he deserves to be viewed as a serious artist.
I was summoned.
The time for Kino has arrived.
0:49 he said the word, boys
Is the second Berserk vid coming after this one or the next vid ?
Nice video Loli! Any chance we’ll get a BLAME! analysis in the future?
Your belief in whatever it means is the egg, and the truth that will free you is the fact that it means nothing. You are the dove, your ego is the dead egg, the man is your calling. That's what it immediately meant to me.
When I first got into anime, back in the 1990s, there were several Oshii-directed animes that I liked, namely Urusei Yatsura and Patlabor. He certainly gives the audience a different perspective about what an animated film can be, especially after so many years of watching Looney Tunes, Disney, and Hanna-Barbara.
If you liked this film you'd love the works of Andrei Tarkovsky. I'd say they're a bit more difficult in their philosophy than this but well worth the watch and each is a masterpiece in its own right.
I see, I click
I thought this movie was about a dystopian world where a civilization of several years was coming to an end and they were the last humans on earth.
My friend told me not to watch this while tripping, is that a smart suggestion? Or do I dive down the rabbit hole?
Just wondering, what do you think about Chainsaw Man? Are you a Makima Woofer or not a degenerate?
Also nice upload keep up the cool ass work.
Honestly, I'd prefer to see his take in Fire Punch, that shit is fucked up from the very beginning, and it only gets worse and worse until you either finish it or you end up in a corner of your room crying your soul out
I came, I saw, I searched, I enjoyed
I would love if he reviewed parasite dolls
Where's the video, Demo?
5:23, "it might contain a dove, specifically a dove" -TheAlmightyLoli Jul 19, 2021
At last it has come
The director also directed Urusei yatsura
🔥🔥🔥🔥
What’s the patreon music?
9:25
Until you realize Griffith is Gut’s son now and Guts has one of the sacrifice items
The little girl is giving me mayor Kanna vibes, but more mobile
“Makes this dead world seem completely lifeless” yaknow, I don’t think you’d need the art to do that😂😂 I’m just joking I love ya and I get what you mean gets nice video I’m not done yet but so far so good ima leave a essay after I’m done so yeah wait for that
Dark souls 3 made a tribute of Angel's egg in the ringed city
If you are reading this comment and haven't seen this movie then STOP! Go watch it now before seeing this review. Angel's Egg is an extremely immersive experience and every scene witnessed in it's proper context for the first time can have a huge impact.
Long before I have watched an essay that suggested that the plot of this movie represents Japanese struggle with destruction of their spiritual past and salvation they found through western materialism.
you have to kill gywn to start the next cycle.
When is the demon slayer review coming lol
Pretty sure the girl's name is fileanor
What if the dude is like an angel the allows a person to fulfill there purpose in life when they where blind to it.
Howdy there loli
So the director stepped away from Christianity and wrote this movie.
Christianity has failed many, from my personal experiences, as well as from what I observed. So an example of this failure taking shape into animation, interests me.
What scars me about this film and all films like it, is the earth is dead. That extinction level event of humanity always sets off this subconscious fear in the back of my head that doesn't shut itself off. It's why I never watched Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
I think I will watch this movie anyway.
The fedora tipped so many times in this comment that I enjoyed a gentle breeze.
@@jeremycarnes1656 It was a fart, I swear.
This channel is bringing back DouchebagChocolat vibes... man I miss his channel!
Another interpretation is that the guy represents Christ. The world, built on top of Noah's Ark, represents the world ruled by death in the wake of mankind's fall. The girl represents the hope for the Messiah, but she clings to the egg, which might represent the scriptures, without even looking at what's inside. When the hope she was waiting for comes, she doesn't even recognize it, clinging to the promise of a savior rather than the savior himself. The guy destroying the egg could represent Christ establishing a law which replaces the Mosaic law. The giant puff ball thing could be heaven, finally rising out of the sea and becoming accessible, with the girl being immortalized as a reward for her adherence to her hope and faith. I don't think this was the intended interpretation, but it's interesting to think about.
Hurry up 1:33
The movie is metaphor for gnosticism.
the uninterrupted 5 minute scene where i watched 2 people fall asleep in real time really reminded me i was watching some hack shit, good video as always though.
So this movie is just like Seinfeld, movie about nothing but everything ?
Amazing philosophical movie but I watched it on x1.75 and I honestly think i improved it.
I actually never liked Ghost in the Shell. I love this though.
The girl pursues her faith differently than the fishermen. They run chaotically and greedily all over town destroying things and never catching a fish... The girl carrying the egg is illuminated and glowing in most shots also she collected the water repeatedly almost joyously. I think her introduction to the tree story was like eve waking up. While the man is a priest but not divine. Hes pretty much obsessed with watching her and watching that eyeball in the sky. I still feel like he raped her/violated her. Taking away what was her choice to attempt to hatch the egg versus breaking it open. He did it without her consent. There is no proof that the egg would not have hatched had they been patient. He was impatient after seeing the Angel on the wall aka breaking the egg. There must be some sort of japanese social undertone here I am missing interpretation on but picking up vibe wise. His choice to force the girl/holiness to the crux of rape/egg break. Reminds me of the pressure of Rod Reiss in attack on titan. Rod Reiss obsesses over the titan power and royalty but never wants to become the titan himself. Instead hes some crazy ass follower of the titan power. Another example of this social awkwardness around witnessing divinity but not embodying itself by the person chasing it - is Shinji Ikari's dad. He obsesses over the human instrumentality project... but is willing to watch/obsess over Rei becoming lilith. or Shinji being the vehicle to divinity. Aka like willing sacrifice... but never man enough to do the job himself or to embody the power they obsess over. Its very japanese....
I also feel like the characters are in some sort of time loop. He stares at the eye at the beginning. Which is noted to have the goddess statues in prayer. He reveres that eye god thingy. They are statues...almost like buddist statues you see at temples. I feel an overlay of Buddhism and Christianity here. maybe he stares often enough and does the loop so many times hes forgotten. However the girl offers something different. He chooses to willingly sacrifice her egg because he knows shes different. By the end of the movie.. he doesnt care if he possibly drowns in the water. He is witnessing that a change to the eye has indeed occurred. The man has forced his physical tangible will / faith and has witnessed physically that the girl physically has died and some how reincarnated / transmutated spiritually onto the eyeball with her own differentiated shrine which represents some sort of honor achieved.
The eyeball is God. He will never be eternally honored on that eyeball. She returned to "source" with the egg." hes still just standing all alone on that beach. He isnt greedy like the fishermen, he is patient but physically to involved in the tangible world of his faith and forces it. The girl didnt force but just faith the egg would hatch. Because of his force he will never return to source/peace. The girl didnt force it - she returned to source and has peace.
He will never experience true enlightenment. He said the bird never returned to noah's ark. Yet the girl believes the bird is within the egg. There is hope still she believes. By sacrificing her... she promulgates hope further in more eggs. Hes a sort of destructive force always stomping out faith aka like churches and clergy. His cross actually weighs him down.
Who was the other guy that reviewed this and had the lovecraft meme in it?
