I thought "The platform" from netflix was good. You should check it out!

[@SapphireColonThree]

@@sirmcswagalot6224 I agree with that

[@SapphireColonThree]

A silent voice is a good anime to review if you want.

[@abhinavbanerjee8797]

@@sirmcswagalot6224 A movie like 'The Platform' won't need to exist when we finally become intelligent enough to feel other people's suffering as our own. And that time will surely come in the near future coz working together as a team is the best chance we've got to survive as a species.

[@Gilbot9000]

Kung Fu Panda 1 and 2 are pretty much my favorite animated films of all time, would love to see what you make of them.

[@sircritic5284]

Nice analysis. Liked the part about the "boring" things; Ellie thanking him for fulfilling his promise of adventure to her by doing the "boring" things

[@yashrawat5071]

Criminally under-rated channel The breakdown was perfect

[@azzamjamaluddin1354]

Im crying hard when carl notices ellie's last message and when he give russell the ellie's badge. This movie is beautiful :')

[@ViniciusLBueno]

I remembre watching this classic when I was a kid, it was very entertaining. But as I rewarched now, I'm reflecting about my existence

[@ohrats7713]

i never realized how symbolic this movie is. great video svb

[@matthewissa]

I'm not crying.... you are! Honestly, this was amazing. I also love breaking down themes in movies and TV shows, but the time and thought you put into this shows through, and I absolutely cannot wait for more.

[@hameley12]

I hope this movie is never forgotten much like the early 60s, 90s and 2000s classics we still have today. That it may show future dreamers that they too can enact their dreams into reality with their own version of Ellie [fem or male]. This movie inspired me to go to publishing and quit my previous job four years ago. Life has its own little adventures. And surely, when I first saw this movie I wasn't a child I was an adult, and still am, and it made me cry with joy. 😢😢 We all need a version of Ellie in our lives but still know that we can be independent dreamers in this grey, convoluted, crazy world.

[@mycool-s1h]

I'm the type of viewer that usually just watches, enjoys, and leaves a like on the way out- just wanna hop in the conversation for a second and say I'm glad you're doing this! Looking forward to the next one.

[@arjunpurty6590]

Thank u for this ...this was beautiful 🥲🥹..u made me cry once again

[@CptHygelac]

Super well done, and I very much enjoyed it. Avatar: The Last Airbender would be so fun to watch you break down.

[@TheSoak]

Definitely one on my list! Amazing show!

[@justrecentlyi5444]

I've only seen Up once, and it was a beautiful, emotional experience. I remember feeling quite melancholic at the final shot of the film, I don't think I'd understood how positive it was meant to be. Bittersweet, but beautiful!

[@hiphopsingh]

Followed from Ow content. Will happily watch your content.

[@konserwapaprykowa6957]

Wow, after watching this movie again after a few years, niw I understand what is it about, and that feels great

[@TrueFairfox]

I'm not crying, you are

[@slystone4892]

Very insightful analysis thank you.

[@lunady]

Gosh, I'm SOBBING. Thank you for this. Not only a wonderful analysis (I love video essays), but really, coincidentally striking to me in my personal life. I can't wait to see what you publish next! Thanks SVB

[@CoolManSwag.]

It's like watching UP Again Severely Underated

[@senor_dinosaur]

Love the ideas at 6:30

[@Ismail-db1vj]

I've never watched Up, but I might need to after watching this video.

[@Justdifferent666]

dude this is gonna get so many views once it starts showing up in people’s recommended lists. great job svb.

[@Justdifferent666]

i think you picked a really good idea for this video. these types of docu/analysis videos about movies or shows that people have nostalgia for tend to do very well.

[@FishyFishy_]

This is so, so well told and especially perfect to listen to. Really captures what the movie was about and explores it even so much more

Up is one of the most touching and empathetic films I have ever seen. Your homage is very well done.

[@Imp0st3r_]

Thank you for this. What you did hear was beautiful and some parts that you elaborated on nearly brought me to tears. What you pointed out with many of these symbols I feel have connections to many aspects of everyone’s lives and I can’t wait to see what you bring next!

[@lolshin]

perfect. thank you.

[@W1LL-D]

Knew I wouldn't make it through a video about up without crying. Well done SVB.

[@filippoarena7839]

For me this is the most mature movie pixar ever made, because it feels so... Realistic in his temathics and even characters

[@zorroarkrz1686]

Damn you got some tears out of me. Idk why exactly but something about this video made me sad. Anyways thank you for that :)

[@sicarius9156]

Watch the movie and youll be crying like a baby :)

[@AbstractOddity]

me too - right at the end just seeing carl give russell that badge and seeing them finish that adventure together is so beautiful

bro this is amazing. great work on this :)

[@TheSoak]

Thanks a ton!

[@kristofferbeder]

A really excellent evaluation. I gained appreciation for the movie and never felt like I was sitting through any convoluted overthinking or forced perspective. Reminds of Every Frame a Painting - a piece of art.

[@khalidalzouma9656]

I absolutely LOVE this video. I am so glad one of the hardest working overwatch content creators is also putting their genius into film analysis! I am so excited for every video to come! Beautiful stuff my man, keep on going :)

Thank you

[@sofiabuale9054]

i like the saddest animated movies it makes everyone heartfelt.

[@aflow-]

You really are a great content creator. You deserve thousands of subscribers . Your voice is so pleasant and nice. Will always continue supporting you!

[@andrewsheffield8738]

Believe it or not, it was your reading of the Stone by Stone short story that made me want to check this out and I have to say, I was not disappointed. Not only did you perfectly catch the emotion of the film, you explored several themes that I didn't even think of. It was a wonderful trip down memory lane, and I thank you for that. And I almost made it through the whole thing without tearing up, but that last sentence, "...while she may be gone, their love never will be - and for him, adventure is still out there," really got to me. Manly tears, of course :). Looking forward to more stuff!

[@bronzeyohnroyce3872]

Wow..... Just wow. You did an amazing job with this video, it really shows that you put a lot of work into this. That was honestly quite moving. I knew there was a reason I love your OW content, this just shows you make great content no matter what! I can't wait to see what else you have planned for this channel! Maybe you could take a look at Looper or The Grey, two of my personal favorite films.

Amazing job SVB! Great commentary. Also I’m not crying you’re crying. 😭

My pleasure!

[@Joniness]

Nice catch on the missing patch. I never noticed that. Great video! I was teary eyed through a lot of this video because Up wrecks me.

[@lindacox8561]

Very insightful... we used this movie to demonstrate a spiritual principal at our retreat. But you knocked it out of the park, inspiring more take-aways. Thank you!

[@thedoneeye]

Geez, even this analysis made me cry!! One detail that I just can't figure out..... Just *who* took the pictures *of* Carl and Ellie during their time together?

[@TheSoak]

Good question 😂

[@hameley12]

Before selfies, stand-alone tripod stands were used for film and photographic cameras. So, I guess it was mounted on a tripod? Or before the beginning of the movie they had Kevin, the bird, take the pictures, he disappeared when Ellie passed away, then Carl forgets about him and Kevin comes back into the frame when it needs to be saved by Muntz. So... many questions.

[@Gilbot9000]

What an absolute banger to start out on. Just wow. Man I can't wait for more.

[@TheSoak]

Thanks Gil

[@mickbreiting]

What an absolutely brilliant analysis of this movie :)

[@abhinavbanerjee8797]

Even if you've lost someone you loved, you still have 7.67 billion of us to live for and live with. Humans are all there is to humanity. The relationships that we have with our fellow human beings, the bond of love & care that we share with each other as an intelligent species, the work that we do together as a team to ensure the survival and well-being of our species is what ultimately matters.

[@MommahKat]

Excellent video. This movie is just so beautiful and one of my favorite animated films. Even just watching a video essay about the movie fucks me up emotionally and I teared up several times during the movie.

[@NicoGonzalezEstevez]

From being one of the best Overwatch content creator to being one of the best cinema content creators. This video was amazing, thank you SVB, looking forward to the next one.

[@noahsarkhive4482]

Just came from your stream: try Dorohedoro - it is crazy, turbulent and fun and the dystopian setting is very interesting. Even the "villians" are sympathetic and have their family dynamic. En for example is an cold evil mafia boss but he really cares for his weak subordinates etc.

[@Mark.Matthews]

Great work my man. Although not my favourite pixar film, it was great to see such a wonderful analysis

I found your channel a few days ago and I've been streaming each video. That is until my best friend Ben saw me crying and asked me 'If it makes you so sad why are you still watching that channel's video?' My reply was 'He is a great storyteller and narrator. He should do voice acting or recording for ebooks' Today I came back for more and I'm fully subscribed. I will be happy to support your work through Patreon. Thank you for the happy tears!

[@k.melody3762]

Great film analysis, really! Actually, when you were talking about Carl donning Russell's sash, I noticed that he was accidentally covering the gap in it! This holds a deep meaning, both for Carl and Russell's lives! It might represent how Carl's emptiness was being put to an end at the realisation of what true adventure means, and also be foreshadowing how, both for Russell and Carl, spending time together as a(n) (almost) family was going to be their great adventure! :')

[@justrecentlyi5444]

I love this analysis! Beautiful video about a beautiful film! I can't wait to see where this channel goes (and I hope its success soars ;) )!

[@PhilMihaly]

SVB! You should do an analysis on the new game "Maquette". It's quite a short game, but it made me cry just as hard as the movie Up. There's a lot of symbolism and beauty in it that I know you'll appreciate.

Definitely gotta touch on Studio Ghibli films at some point :)

the one scene that i think is so powerful is when he finally reads that part of the book and gets that closure he's been longing for. and he literally unburdens himself by shoving the physical weight off his house that was holding him back.
