The movie could be summarized as A rogue and a bard goes on their own side quest which turns into a main quest

[@osmanyousif7849]

Nah. The best way to summarize the movie is like this: "On the one hand, GOLD. On the other hand, PAINFUL AGONIZING FAILURE."

For we must all appear before “the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.” (2 Corinthians 5:10) We will be judged for every deed we do whether is be good or bad. This isn’t something to worry about even if our bad deeds out weigh our good. Because none are good before God, all have sinned against Him and cursed His name, but He in His tender loving mercy hath given us His Son as our ransom. When Jesus was dying all of Gods wrath and judgement was poured out onto Him even though He was sinless. He was sacrificed and tortured on our behalf though we are sinful and carnal. Christ payed our sin debt with His perfect sinless blood so we may escape judgment and have everlasting life. But this great gift is only for those who accept it and accept Him ❤️

It's notable that Chel is not only portrayed as beautiful, but also as smart and competent. She's not the typical exotic savage woman rescued by the white hero, she has agency and is an equal partner to them, she doesn't want him because she's struck by his heroism or smarts, she knows who he is and she's choosing to jump his bones.

The story of the man of El Dorado actually has some merit as there was a ritual in people would throw that gold mixture into a lake, where it now STILL rests. Amazing, there were many attempts to take the gold from the bottom of the lake, all in failure. The final attempt was to drain the lake, which only served to dry the dirt and claw at the bottom, basically turning it to concrete and making it impossible to remove the gold. After that, it was made illegal to try to remove the gold. If you want to start believing spiritual beings exist, I'd say research just how many times they tried and how hard they tried to get the gold.

OK, but, can we talk about a few things about how the natives are portrayed? One, the strong implication that the chief was fully aware that the two weren’t gods but was trying to keep Tzekel-Kan from continuing his power play. Two, the fact that Tulio and Miguel are clearly practiced con-men, so they are good at tricking people. It isn’t portrayed as solely a “naive natives” thing, as they similarly tricked Spaniards back home. Three, though this is a bit of a stretch, is the interpretation that the gods that the people of El Dorado believe in are real, and are manipulating events to ultimately protect their city from Cortes and Tzekel-Kan. This is why the two tricksters seem to have incredible luck at various times, and why the volcano thing happened the way it did. In my opinion it’s as good an interpretation as any. Four, there’s Chel, who is clearly cut from the same cloth as Tulio and Miguel in being clever, manipulative and primarily into personal gain. Her, combined with Tzekel-Kan and the invader Cortes, avert the usual trope of the native people being all pure and pliable against the patronising white heroes. No, there are good people, bad people and middling, selfish people represented relatively equally throughout the movie.

As a Mexican when I was young I really adored this movie because I had never seen an American movie that portrayed my ancestors culture in a positive way, even less had I seen a female character with Indigenous features being portrayed as the main love interest and the most attractive in the whole movie. One thing I will say that annoys me is the fact that they’ve blended together Mexica(Aztec) and Mayan cultures into 1. For example Xibalba is a Mayan word and the myth of el dorado is based on the fact that the Spanish thought the Mayans had vast amounts of gold because the Mayans would create tools and build temples made of obsidian which has tiny gold colored veins when the sun shines on it. While the Mexica were the ones who were conquered by Hernan Cortez and had the water channels used for transportation around Tenochtitlán that are shown in the city scenes. It was also the Mexica leader who welcomed Hernan Cortez because he “thought”(which is debatable) that the white men were the physical forms of one of their gods due to a prophecy which foretold the arrival of people from the otherside of the sea.

This movie is just amazing. They couldn't have executed better than they did. The fact that it's about the sensitive topic of colonization, the 'discovery of the new world' in the eyes of spain (and other european countries) and still manage to pull it off perfectly is extremely impressive. It's carefully thought out. you have 2 aspects, miguel looking for adventure and tulio looking for riches. Yet they still work harmoniously together. Probably because they are 2 sides of a coin, 2 experienced con artists who form a team. The movie might show in the beginning that they think that the natives are naive for believing that they are gods. but it's clear that the chief and Chel notice from the beginning that this is far form the truth. The natives are obviously an extremely impressive nation when you look at how they live from the architecture to the utter peace and friendliness. I don't feel that it's giving of the trope of white man come and manipulate natives. Well it might have been so in the beginning. They sacrafice everything for the people at the end of the movie. Which leaves them with nothing exept for amazing memories of a golden city. Miguel is obviously the tender hearted one of the two while tulio is more realistic. But still both of them decide that giving up their dreams to help save these people is what needs to be done. I like to think that the gods were present maybe not in the bodies of our protaganist but if you look at the vulcano, the boat drifting, the fact that they survived the stone jaguar and even just pulling off the ball game, it is clear that something was a play without anyone noticing. The gods tried to save their people by sending these 2 bafoons, profesionnal con artists who can pull off an eloborate scheme like this one. I feel like the fact that they even are able to communicate with each other shows some kind of magical intervenience. Not only that but he songs are absolutely bangers. the animation just makes it feel extremely magical. Some people argue that it isn't for kids but believe me I loved it as a kid, I love it today and I'll love it in 50 years. It's just a widely accesable movie. And if you think it's too rwanchy for your kids plssss that's just ridiculous. In my eyes that a bit conservative, I turned out fine. I do believe that there should be more movies talking from the perspective of an south american, because there aren't many but that being said I do belive that the reason this movie works so well is because you follow these 2 uncultured criminals who get to show their true colors at the end by deciding to sacrafice themself. This is a masterpiece. Thanks to those who read my ted talk.

NOT to say there's ISN'T good music TODAY, but you'd REALLY have to look HARD for it I feel like. Loved the video, TRULY! Much love from Western Massachusetts USA 🇺🇲 and God bless!

[@roymchunter9401]

Aren't Miguel and Tulio from spain? doesnt make them better for colonizing, still funny though, love your videos!

[@TheSylvirr]

yes they're spanish but uh.... *shrug*

[@thepreacher7399]

Doesn't make them better for colonizing?

[@fatkoala1446]

I’m not justifying the inherent evils of colonialsm, but it’s significant to acknowledge that every civilization in history has been predicated off of military conquest, and that “conquering lands for monetary value” isn’t just a microcosm of the white man, but more so a microcosm of history itself.

[@InnerAtanih]

Thank you. He often fixates derisively on white characters. He even describes them at 0:07 as two white men. Two white men from Spain named Tulio and Miguel 🙄Most mainstream media books all terrible acts in history as being inherent to while men and nazis . Nice to see someone with unbiased facts

[@fm.9783]

@InnerAtanih I’m sorry I don’t get the names thing (if u don’t mind) could u maybe explain it because I’m lost lol

[@jessicaable5095]

Just realize that the gods and spirit world might actually exist in this movie. When creepy priest guy was sent down the water chasm, he popped out miles away in the jungle... but where's the gold at? It's in the spirit world

[@fluubk218]

The Tulio-Miguel conflict wasn’t out of nowhere. They both promised to each other to keep their hands off of Chel and go back to Spain together. Miguel keeps his promise eventhough he learns to love El Dorado and wants to stay there. He sacrifices his new found happiness and wishes for the sake of his friendship and loyalty to Tullio. And the first thing Miguel hears from Tullio after he gets back from his conversation with Chief Tannabok is: „Forget Miguel“, and after that he sees him kissing Chel and breaking their promise. The writing and execution is so subtle that you don’t even notice it but it’s also powerful

[@taipansghost]

Really love how you added the historical context. It would be very easy to just leave it out. Also after you brought it up....., Yeah, not everything aged well

[@elfies.bazaar13]

lets all be real........most of us crushed on Miquel

[@ArnoldStark123]

You didn't mention the fact that this was a DreamWorks animated film 😁👍

[@jackmarshall3255]

I love this film and I’m glad you finally did the film justice.

[@nyxayde]

I know you called Tulio and Miguel "white guys" cause yea they are lighter skinned than the natives of El Dorado, but I want to make it clear they are Spainiards through and through. Spaniards are lighter skinned than the Hispanics of the Central and South Americas but they are not English white. I know someone gonna confuse the two because people view "white people" as English decendants or North European decendants. Tulio and Miguel aren't "white guys" in the term people view "white people" in the modern era. They are just lighter skinned than the natives of El Dorado but they are Spanish not English. I make this post cause someone at some point will take that you called them "white guys" literal and think they are from England or some shit.

[@OmegaF77]

White means caucasoid aryan. Spain is in Europe which is inhabited by caucasoid aryans by majority. Majority of Spanish are caucasoids. So yeah. the video is correct in calling them white. Nobody is mistaking them for British wtf lol.

[@joshuagleeson4776]

My brother in christ you clearly do not know how broad a term 'white guy' is lmao

[@charliehorse8401]

So is nobody going to talk about the thing that the animators wanted to have Tulio and Miguel be a gay couple? I seem to remember a couple of the writers coming forward being like "oh yeah they were hella gay but they won't let us do that shit but we did leave one frame in the movie where we left a frame of their kiss before they pulled away before leaping out from in front of the Jaguar" I GENUINELY BELIEVE THIS TO BE TRUE HOWEVER I WILL ADMIT I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS CONFIRMED CONFIRMED. Homophobes or naysayers be damned, they have the chemistry at the romantic tension dynamic, I wholeheartedly see them as a little bit more than friends dynamic.

[@hardcoresmoke2122]

I love this movie so much, and I love your content! Thank you for just being you and giving another reason to smile ♡

Literally 10 seconds in and he’s already making racist allegories. Jesus Christ dude make your politics less obvious

[@Braven-j7m]

I loved this film, still worrying some people cant separate fact from fiction especially in a cartoon because it was incredibly fun to watch. I loved the humor, loved the characters, loved the music, loved the animation.

[@giacomobaldera5666]

He criticised the natives speaking English but not the SPANISH dudes speaking it

[@AutumnRaylene]

did you ever watch Sinbad legend of the seven seas as a kid? i used to LOVE it - has the same animation style as El Dorado. would love a video review of it!

[@westerfrost3701]

Me, too! I just rewatched both of those movies a few weeks ago.

[@nicknick_nick]

this man takes movies and reacts/explains them as bluntly and simple as possible noice +1sub

[@joeyteter9383]

No cap, this is my favorite animated movie. (Although it may be problematic) I loved it as a kid, almost as much as I loved Chel 😍Seriously think she was my sexual awakening as a 12 year old when this movie came out lol your timing with this video is funny too because the day before this vid came out, I found the movie in the $5 bin and had to pick it up and watch it. So it was meant to be I guess 🤷🏼‍♂️ lol. Also, her name isn’t pronounced “Shell” lol

[@Danovio]

"white dudes" you mean Spanjards, the spanish by that time had been mixed with people from the middle east for a couple of 100 years before the Spanish queen took it back.

[@ThatGuyJDS]

Shoutout to all the homies that know this is a reupload

[@Paritan164]

'Two white dudes'... I thought Miguel and Tulio were Spaniards???

[@Dumb_Foxxx]

I remember watching this movie in 7th grade social studies 💀

[@shurale123]

Social studies? Were you skipping a lesson or your whole class just sat and watched?

[@psy-moai]

11:11 best part

[@callmenorm7716]

Please please please please please please do THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN 2011 It has pirates in it and I know you live pirates so I thought you would enjoy the movie. THE MOVIE IS A MASTERPIECE!!!

[@reyis_here945]

You know I used to hate the opening and that made me tune out... Years back I watched it again sat through it, and it was surprisingly good I can't believe how wrong I was

[@vixiestarfire]

Have you watched DreamWorks’ movie Sinbad? I know you’ll love the goddess Eris 😉 the animation on her character alone is on a whole other level

[@osmanyousif7849]

And Michelle Pfeiffer's seductive voiced is just amazing, yet she was only in the film for about 7 minutes.

[@vixiestarfire]

@@osmanyousif7849 and still the best character lol

[@scotlandball8111]

7:10 The Spanish are speaking English too it’s a kids movie it’s not meant to be accurate what are you on about you lost the plot

I mean yeah as a Mexican this movue kinda rubs me the wrong way, however, it IS a great movie nonetheless

[@tavinprice2310]

Why is Chel so fine tho

[@obeyglobert1393]

Watched this with my one true love. Now I'm starting a journey on fighting for the people who were taken advantage of in this kids film. Our relationship was affected by systemic incompetence. I told her that I needed to devote my life in speaking on behalf of those who are manipulated by men and women portrayed in this film. I only wish to meet with her again during or after my journey.

[@derpherp1810]

Who? Who was taken advantage of?

[@TheUnseenPath]

I feel like there was a lot cut from the movie we were not shown such as the backstory behind the chief and the high priest and why they hated each other.

[@tipsiiiv1]

Ay man, f*** KZbin for taking down your videos. These are great, I loved each and every one these movies as a kid, so its really nice hearing someone older than me appreciate them as well. Best of luck to you and your channel ! 🤟

"This movie is about white people-" Miguel and Tulio: Bruh

[@InnerAtanih]

Right! Seven seconds in and I was like. Yes. Two WHITE men. From SPAIN. Names TULIO AND MIGUEL

[@lucilleballs2291]

@@InnerAtanih ? They are white. Dudes who are European Spanish from Spain are white people. Latin Americans are different from Spaniards.

[@freefromthedark6784]

I love this movie...and goddamit I love Chels character but goddamn y'all need to lay off with the "first film that actually cherishes my culture and isn't eurocentric" hope y'all realize that literally every country you'll find will primarily identity with it's largest population....and that group will be highlighted....it isn't racism or an evil conspiracy it's actually very natural....not good or bad
