First Time Watching UP (2009) Group Movie Reaction | This Was So Sad!

[@SorchaSublime]

Something I fully believe is that russel fully saved carls life. The state Carl was in after Ellie died is the thing behind old couples always dying close to eachother.

Oh, absolutely. Carl went to Paradise Falls to die.

what i love about Dug so much compared to the other dogs is that the others are more fighting, intimidating dogs, Dug is the only actual tracking dog, but Golden Retrievers are also known to be one of the most friendly of dogs. Dogs have natural instincts, Dug's instinct is well happy.

[@Br0nto5aurus]

Golden retrievers were bred to use their obedience, sight, and swimming ability to retreive ducks from lakes. They are not hounds. Dug is no more a tracking dog than any of the other breeds there. All dogs have the ability, but none of these breeds were originally bred for it.

My grandfather beat somebody up when he was 98 because she walked into his nursing home room by mistake and he thought she was a robber. The orderlies, all in their 20s-40s, had a hard time getting him restrained. There's a certain kind of old person that gets strong over the course of their life, stays fairly strong, and just completely ignores pain if they need to.

[@wizofauzz]

It's that mountain air. Keeps ya spry.

[@shinyagumon7015]

Everyone loves the opening, but don't let us forget the part where Carl looks at the book and realizes that Ellie was content with their lives.😭 He basically spent the whole movie thinking he had failed her by not giving her the life he through she wanted (both with the trip to Paradise Falls and the implied infertility/miscarriage), but she was actually happy with the time they had together.😢 Also I think the darkest part of the movie is the implication that Carl went to Paradise Falls to die given he had no plan of getting back.

[@snowmink5508]

i found him seeing the book where Ellie plotted everything out made him realise, what he was doing as not so great.

[@g.d.graham2446]

Indeed

[@Tooba-K123]

Indeed, while the opening is sad but it's the ending that gets me.

[@VeniVidiVici..]

She saw their life together as an adventure

[@alexos9011]

And the fact that all he needed to do was literally turn the page of Ellie's adventure book is so gut wrenchingly beautiful that I just cry every time I watch this scene

[@aliyahpulido953]

10:13 "Well, I gotta help you cross SOMETHIN'." Russel DID help Carl cross something. He helped him "cross his heart" by keeping his 2-part promise to Ellie: Make it to Paradise Falls, and continue to live a new adventure after she passed.

[@Excanda]

A thing to realize is that if Munz managed to capture 'Kevin' and bring her back he would go to prison for animal abuse and animal cruelty. The world has changed a lot since he went on his quest to bring the animal back. That's about 60 years if not more. How we view animals and their treatment changed a lot on that timespan.

[@TrashBunBun]

Always gotta give love and credit to the flawless "Show don't tell" part. It's hard to do that so beautifully! Plus, I love how his house actually exists in real life, it's amazing.

[@LM-gm9yo]

The color theory in The Sad Sequence™️ at the beginning of the movie is incredible. The pink represents Ellie. When she’s in the hospital, the pink is very soft and coming from the window almost to say that it’s time for her time to go to the light. She’s frail and weakened because she’s near the end. And then you have the funeral scene where it’s almost saturated in pink. She’s with him one last time. It’s overwhelmingly pink; overwhelmingly Ellie. Overwhelming grief. And then the last shot where Carl walks back into their home with the blue ballon you can see that there’s a little bit of pink but it fades away. Reality has set in. She’s not longer with him. And at the end of the movie when we see that the house stayed next to the fall: the sunset is pink. Carl has fulfilled his promise of bringing Ellie to the falls. I’ll never shut up about the meaning on pink in those scenes because IT’S TOO GOOD AND SAD!! 😭

Ok, I have a Pixar lamp story. Back in 1982, my sister, Liz was hired by an engineering company who had just bought 3-D computer graphic software and wanted to do 3-D blueprints for a new construction project. She had a degree in pure math, but CGI was a brand-new thing and there were no CGI degrees so they hired people with a random assortment of degrees and got the software company to train them. Anyway, there's an annual conference for computer graphics professionals called Siggraph that's been going on since 1974, and in 1986, the company sent my sister to it. All the graphics companies had videos of their latest graphics, which in 1986 mostly consisted of solid, hard surface, single-colored objects (spheres, cones, etc) moving around on flat surfaces against a black background. The tech challenge at the time was to add realistic-looking reflections and shadows as the objects moved. Pixar had brought a 2-minute video called "Luxo, Jr", that featured a big lamp and a small lamp with a ball. The lamps and ball were not that different from the objects in the other videos, but they were animated in a way that gave them personalities. The entire place was on it's feet applauding before the video was half over. And that's the origin of the Pixar mascot. And here's the video -- kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHiWgGlmpJqIbdk

[@mysterysunfurled]

Muntz makes me think of a dark, human version of Scrooge McDuck. Bold, seasoned adventurer who is surprisingly vigorous and can put up quite a good fight for someone his age.

[@sydneyw691]

This movie is, by far, my favorite animated movie ever. It's weaved so well and the story is beautiful, heartfelt, and adventurous. The ending ties everything up so neatly with the house landing in Paradise Falls, the villain rightfully defeated, and the individuals becoming their own family based on those who they lost or are absent. Every scene leads into another future scene and is the definition of 'perfect screenplay'. I love this movie, and I'm happy you guys did as well.

[@twhaira]

UP is simply a masterpiece, I miss Pixar doing movies like it

Coco is reminiscent. But it’s been a while….

[@aliyahpulido953]

28:12 "That's about an 8 on the butt-pucker scale" I have NEVER heard anxiety levels (while watching movies) being described that way, but somehow it's very accurate lollll

I watched this movie with my boyfriend (now husband) when it first came out on Blu ray and we had to pause for 10 minutes after the opening so I could stop sobbing.

[@franciscojaviermendezrinco1902]

A heartbreaking start leading to an adventure and a satisfying conclusion.

[@TalkingSkullStudios]

Up is my perfect movie. Funny, heartwarming, sad, joyful... but beyond that it's a wonderful example of setup and payoff in terms of the writing. So many little things (crossing the heart, the snipe, the badges) get introduced and then brought back in new context that it's honestly incredible. The movie doesn't waste a second of screen time, something is ALWAYS being set up, changed, or paid off and that just feels so SATISFYING.

[@melanor5690]

"It's only been like, 15 minutes!!" That killed me. 😂

[@ProjectNaturePrds]

There’s a conspiracy going around that the scene at the beginning with Carl‘s mailbox and the guy getting hit was planned by the construction company to get Carl‘s property. The evidence to back it up is later in the movie. Carl hits Charles Muntz in the head with the same cane, Muntz, a man swinging a sword and actively threatening his life, and Muntz at least one or two decades older than Carl and much older than the construction worker, does not bleed and continues fighting. This bean pole of a man working construction had a fake blood pack in his hand, ready to apply it wherever necessary after needlessly riling up Carl, even planning to let go of the mailbox had Carl not swung and falling deliberately to make it look like a believable injury. He wasn’t even wearing a hardhat at a construction site, even the corporate suits were wearing hard hats. Unfortunately, the construction companies plan did work and Carl did end up moving, he even took the house which they were just going to tear down and it made securing the site somewhat easier. Spread the word, there’s an even darker message behind the whole purpose of this movie.

[@ma.2089]

Or maybe the construction guy was a genuine guy, and the suit guy just exploited the assault of a blue collar worker to bully an old man. Cuz it would require paying off the hospital that would have been called, and hospital medical records would be required in cases of lawsuit. Not surprised this theory exists tho. Ppl love to make conspiracy theories about Pixar movies lol. At least this one isn’t as bad as the Ratatouille one haha

[@ProjectNaturePrds]

When Ellie dies, I want to cy, but I can hold it back. When Carl finds that Ellie considered her life with him to be a grand adventure, a few tears fall, but I can hold it back. For some reason, when I see that the house landed back on the waterfall, a fitting resting place for Ellie's memory, I cry like a baby.

[@crystalpritchard5065]

[@Indurok]

The symbolism behind Carl throwing everything out of his house is so beautiful. He felt so much guilt about not bringing Ellie to Paradise Falls, that he was too connected to the house and everything inside it, and he became a sour old man. But after looking through the book, he's finally accepted her death, and can let go of the burdens that were holding him back from moving on with his life.

I'd say 1 of the top 10 movies of all time. But that's just my list. I love action and drama... Science fiction and horror... Even rom coms... But, this movie hits every emotion and has a way of leaving you feeling hopeful after all of the mixed emotions. Sadly... I lost my Wife... But not in the manner that happens in the movie. And our combined initials spell out "LE". So, it's tough... But it's still beautiful.
