      Oaks description is just so relatable - when we cleaned out my Grandma’s things I remember thinking “it’s just stuff without the people I love to hold it” and it made it way easier to let go of everything except for the most-special personal pieces. I feel like he picked up on the heart/ moral of the story more deeply than maybe some of the other guys. That what Ellie came to realize before she died - building and spending your life with someone IS it’s own adventure and it may not be the one you THOUGHT you would be on but maybe it was the most IMPORTANT one for you to ever have. It’s not about the big grand moments - but the little moments that makes up the sum of a life. The most important thing in life isn’t the money or stuff we have but the PEOPLE we surround ourselves with. Friends, family - loved ones.

    I didn’t cry during the whole Carl and Ellie sequence. What destroyed me was the bit of Carl using the faulty chair lift. I had just lost my maternal grandfather right before this movie came out and this was the first movie Mom and I went to after the funeral. We both like Ed Asner. Well, we did fine during the whole Carl and Ellie life together section. But when Carl got in the chair lift... we both just bawled because in the final year and half of his life my grandfather had to have his leg amputated and we watched him go up and down on his chair lift every day, several times a day. The minute he started traveling down the stairs Mom and I looked at each other and then back to the screen and absolutely lost it.
    We actually lost my maternal grandmother this year. And my maternal aunt, and maternal uncle (brother, not husband). So it’s been a hard year for Mom and I.
    I’m glad I decided to check out this reaction though.

      While our situations are different, I had a similar moment during a different movie. My friend had horribly passed away, and I was good about only crying when others weren't watching. He was the only friend I've known to pass away and it was a complete shock for me. He had a twin brother too, and I just felt horrible for how he must have been feeling about it all. For some reason, though, I just completely lost it while watching Toy Story 3 with my dad toward the end of the movie with the trash scene. We had to stop the movie for a bit while I just bawled my eyes out, he didn't know my friend passed but I definitely had to explain what was going on at that moment.
      While not as severe I was going through a breakup, and my mom took me to see The Woman in Black with Daniel Radcliffe. I was just crying for the 1st half of the movie so I don't remember much of what happened. I need to definitely revisit that movie for sure. It certainly happens so I understand *hugs I hope you are doing better now

    I still love the detail that Carl wasn't always an old grump, nor was it that he and his wife were always incomplete without that trip. They had a complete and fulfilled life, Carl just lost sight of that when such a loss coincided right when he was about to take her somewhere they've wanted to go since they were kids.
    He had plenty of time to take her between the last time they opened the jar and when she died, they were just so content with their life they didn't need it. He may have forgotten that in his grief, but his adventure and seeing the memories of his wife as he really remembered her, happy, reminded him.

    You could really tell how choked up Oak was during this and this movie hits me a lot differently now than it did when I first watched it and a lot of what Oak shared really resonates with me now. My mother is suffering with early onset dementia and every time I call home I can feel her slipping further and further from herself. I am an only child and moved to Japan back in 2008 because it had always been my dream and my parents always encouraged me to go after my own dreams and adventures. Even now as she struggles with basic motor functions, she is still proud of me for going after my dreams and making a life for myself over here. I was doing a bit of cleaning the other day and came across a canister of tea she had sent me all the way back when I had first moved here, tea that she used to make me every night to help me go to sleep, and the tea was weeeeeeeeeeell beyond its expiration date. I started crying because it was something tangible to my mom before she became really ill and my oldest son (age 9) came over to me and gave me a hug. He reminded me that I wasn't sad over the tea specifically and it was more about missing my mom/a reminder of how she is slipping away and that I will always have the memories and love from her with me even if the tea bags are gone. He suggested I keep just one of the wrappers for now as something small to hold on to but that I didn't "need" it, but maybe it would help me cope with my grief.

    "Before the film's worldwide release date, Pixar granted a wish from 10-year-old Colby Curtin to see the film before she died. Colby had been diagnosed with cancer and was too sick to go to a theater. A Pixar employee flew to the Curtins' house with a DVD of the finished film and screened it for her and her family. Curtin died seven hours later at 9:20 pm, shortly after seeing the film."

  • @essentiallyinvisible3572
    @essentiallyinvisible3572 Рік тому +25

    I felt The Oak's emotional reaction to each scene and I can relate to the main reason it hits so hard. My grandparents were together for nearly 60 years and my grandad got dementia, so my nan became his primary carer and I supported when I was there. He also had cancer and declined quite quickly, before being in hospital for a week (expecting him to come out) and we got told there was an unforeseen ruptured aneurysm. My nan, their daughters and I were by his side and I promised I would look after Nan for him. That was 9 years ago and Nan (90s) has had dementia/Alzheimer's for over 2 years, so my mum and I are her main carers. We had to clear out their house over the past year and it was really hard.
    They were mild hoarders and they were in that house for their entire married life (and most of my grandad's childhood), so there were decades worth of things to sort through. It was difficult enough for my nan, having only ever lived in two houses her whole life, but her dementia/Alzheimer's made it even more distressing for all of us. She was paranoid we were getting rid of things without her permission, but would tell us not to bring her when we did take her to look through things. She expected to have passed away a long time ago, before the house needed to be cleared, but she stopped really living in there after my grandad passed and her mobility declined. Covid became the perfect opportunity to have her move in because I was going over to check on her regularly and the house had lost it's life. It felt dark and not like it used to. That realisation that Carl came to about the beloved items not being necessary to hold on to was something we struggled to gently persuade my nan. It's not something you can prepare for, not when it's intense. My dad's mum went into a residential home a little while ago and the difference in house clearing was stark. It only took him and his siblings a few days because there wasn't as much sentimental connection to the house or the items in it. It wasn't their childhood home and it hadn't been a huge family hub over the years, so it was much easier to empty. It's really emotional to watch UP, relate to watching an elderly person feel so lost after losing their spouse and see Carl's growth, finding Ellie's permission in her book

Everything else was donated or put in the estate sale. They were both teachers & their house...OUR childhood house...was sold to the school district to be used as a teaching of "life skills" to developmentally challenged children & young adults. We know they would have loved that.

    Don't forget; Ellie and Carl could not have children, so Russell's presence is something that Carl first resisted and then embraced. A surrogate son more or less. And that is driven home with the montage of pictures of the experiences they shared at the end, beginning with the pinning of the Ellie badge. This such a great movie filled with metaphor.

      Once I watched Encanto with my kids last Christmas break, we just could not stop watching it and listening to the music over and over again. It is such a powerful film and it helped me a ton when I was struggling too.
      I think the music is Frozen 2 is extraordinarily impactful also and so so much deeper than even the storyline itself (though that too is much more mature than the first film). And the exploration of family dynamics and the power of relationships in Coco is also quite moving. So many times I’ve watched a “children’s movie” and come away feeling like the messaging was speaking directly to me. The power of great storytelling ❤️

      @@austengalasmr7026 When we're kids, we mostly notice and pay attention to the colours, music and distinct personality traits, whereas we adults (I'm 30 myself) notice all the details as well. My favourite movies growing up were The Lion King, The Little Mermaid and Hercules, because those movies were colourful and had memorable songs, and that's why I loved them so much. Rewatching those movies as an adult, while I still love and adore those movies, I wouldn't say they are some of my favourites based on storytelling alone. But Encanto definitely has an incredible message and story to tell, and watching it for the first time as an adult didn't make it less magic than if I was a child. Disney really did an exceptional job with Encanto! :)

    Im kinda late commenting this but theres a theory for this movie and it basiclly goes like this. Carl died in his sleep the night after the court tells him he needs to move out of his house as he was deemed a public menace after striking a construction worker. What follows, then, is Carl's journey to heaven, and he's guided by a very special guardian angel: Russell. The boy explains to Carl that he needs one last badge in order to become a Senior Wilderness Explorer, which according to the theory, actually means that he would finally earn his wings. Russell’s final badge is “Assisting the Elderly”, and he tells Carl he can help him cross the street, the yard, or the porch, but he has to help him cross something, and he does: he helps him cross over into the afterlife. Carl’s house represents his attachment to the physical world and Paradise Falls is how Carl imagines heaven to be, so the house raising and flying away represents Carl’s transition from the physical world to the spiritual one. When he lets go of the house, his transition is complete, and he’s now in heaven ready to reunite with Ellie.
