Throw all the pompo stuff is especially the testicle stuff I mean it's all trippy I know I sound kind of ignorant and saying that but I'm also just astounded I know I've seen this movie several times but for some reason it's like I'm watching it for the first time probably because it's like 15 years since the last time I watched it regardless LOL breathtaking
I think one of the most interesting things about this scene is that the adults are, for the most part, scared of the yokai, but the kids are excited to see them. The adults have no doubt been taught the stories surrounding them and how they're dangerous, but the younger generations have only been exposed to them in manga and anime. To the younger generations, it's like having your favorite fictional characters come to life. To the older generation, it's like having your nightmares come to life.
@@nautilus2612 I think in that situation the kids were already a bit on edge. They were looking at a porno magazine, probably either stolen from a nearby shop or else one of them took it from their dad's collection. Although if a couple of demons came up behind me like that when I was a kid, I'd no doubt run away, too, even if I wasn't looking at a porno mag.
This part of the movie was my favorite, the parade of Yokai monsters were the racccoons way of a ‘peaceful protest’. But it came to a somber end, as the sheer focus causes Gyobu to go into cardiac arrest. RIP Gyobu 🦝
Hyakki Yagyō (百鬼夜行, “Night Parade of One Hundred Demons”) - an idiom in Japanese folklore. A procession, or at times a riot, of a countless numbers of yōkai, yūrei and other supernatural creatures. A Parade is an yearly event, usually taking place at summer nights, and disappearing at dawn. In many ways, it resembles traditional Japanese festivals with chants, dancing, songs and merriment. Humans who comes across the procession or foolish enough to have a look at it would be either killed or spirited away. Exorcism scrolls, chanting the magic spells, and simply locking yourself at home at the “dangerous nights” served as protection.
Isao Takahata san was a super brillant director. This scene is so epic and well animated. The first time i've seen the ghost parade i was speechless. BTW my favourite is the umbrella yokai, with his tongue sticking out like this 😜
@@Splub The Red Turtle! it's underrated, you should give it a shot when you have time! also, Ponyo if you haven't seen it yet (you probably have), it has amazing animation and the soundtrack is a godsend
Here are some of the folklore references I could recognize immediately: 0:55 Chochinobake. 1:04 Kasa Obake. 1:40 Raijin and Fujin. 2:10 Daruma dolls and tengu. 3:16 Rokurokubi. 3:31 Gashadokuro. 4:52 Oni.
This is sooo fairy tale like and magical 😍😍 i wish that this parade was in real life! If i go to Japan someday 🇯🇵❤️❤️ I love Pom Poko is my favourite movie!!!
Men has taken away raccoon’s habitat As a revenge, raccoons raged war against men They thought their tricks will scare them away but instead it only entertained them
Muhteşem etkileyici ve kültürel açıdan da geçmişten beslenen ve geleceği besleyen bir filmdi. Keşke biz de islam öncesinden kalma efsanelerimizle ilgili medyatik çalışmalar yapsak! Bartu Bölükbaşı'nın yaptığını daha da ileriye taşısak.
What caused the Night Parade of 100 demons in Japan since the Heian Period? I knew the yokai, oni and other deities of Japan very well. But the coexistence of humans and spirits, i get along with it.
Fun fact: in that one scene where we see Oiwa (the paper lantern ghost) didnt have the symbol on her forehead but when she flew through the sky they added it.
