UP is such a SWEET STORY! (Movie Commentary) 

Oh I always say I cry at 3 separate parts: the beginning, when Carl finds the Adventure Book and sees that Ellie filled it with pictures of their life together, and near the end when we see that the house settled right where Carl was trying to get it to. Makes me bawl every time.

I never cry at the intro but that scene never fails to get the waterworks going lol

Oh I always sob at that part, harder than the beginning ever.

I have to say the "Ellie Badge" also gets me now and then

I cried the whole movie, cringe right now and it's the end

That’s the part that always gets me 😢 Him almost being brought to tears seeing the “Stuff I’m Going to Do” because he feels like he failed her 😭

Indeed and people really go hard on Russell’s character for that even though he’s just a kid. Kid aren’t supposed to know right away to read the room and people right away.

i really appreciate that as well. shows his true character after being seemingly cold prior to that. you can really tell a lot about a person by the way they treat animals.

​@@tbakhalid4781you'll find that adults often have a difficult, or even very difficult time not judging children by adult standards. even if they are conscious of it not being right, you'll see it still annoys or bothers them that children are.. children. Often this kind of person also has trouble within themselves if something was rocky in their childhood as deep down they still feel a sense of responsibility or fault, even when they were just a kid. It's not always the case but I'm sure you can see why that kind of connection exists. If it does, it can make it harder to break the habit of criticizing children because the feelings, frustration you feel about your own child self are reflected onto them. you want them to be better because you wish you were better, so maybe what you went through wouldn't have been so bad. Even without all that, it's commonplace for adults to not be able to place themselves into the shoes of a child or look from that perspective, or at least not even think to attempt to do so.

You're so right! That is indeed a huge problem and I didn't notice this being kind of shown in the movie. I should be more attentive when watching something.

the worst part is there are so many empty houses no one is living in because they're too expensive for people to afford

I get where you are coming from and just want to ask where would the old go? Some of the elders do sale but must do so high enough to make sure they are able to afford living elsewhere even while downsizing and keeping up with everyday expenses and med bills. Some do reverse mortgage to cover expenses and have where to live at the same time. They hope it is enough to last atleast until they die. Its hash bc unlike the young, the old do not have their bodies able enough to start a new venture - they must rely with what they have accumulated or hoarded. In recent months I've witness the majority of homeless people, 1 in 2, be middle age and above. They have worked hard and just one event or a spiral of small things accumulate and thats it they are reduced to the streets. Its depressing af but nothing is being done. Who is at fault. Lets face it in the US the culture is different and many ppl do not live in multi generational house holds that provide some safety for elders; nor are there social nets for ppl who are no longer high value consumers in profits first economy. But also having children just so they can take care for their aging parents is indeed selfish, but what is the solution? The system is in need of repairs. In Up, the house also is going to be demonized in favor of what seems to be an office building or condos that the average person cannot afford. Apart from this movie being hopefully endearing, it also brings great anxiety terror of being alone or without in old age.

Most people spend 30+ years paying to own a house specifically so they DON'T have to die in a nursing home. It makes sense they wouldn't want to give the house up. I agree it sucks that houses are so expensive, but it's not because old people aren't selling them.

But it wouldn't change anything if old people would give up their houses. Companies would up the price anyway or build a brand new house on the spot. If an old person is still capable of taking care of themselves and their house, they have every right to stay there. They earned itm

birds see people they like as their flock (bird person here :D)

@@mischr13 I think birds are literally so precious 😭😭

@@miabarton3623 they are the best little dinosaurs evar 🥲

So blessed that they reached 94 together!

Wow 80 years with someone is unimaginable. That’s so sweet

Letting children get married is pretty disturbing tbh glad it worked out for them but it sets a dangerous standard I hope we’re moving away from

@@Rcmkney23 They lied about their age to get married. This was back in the day so people didn't really check and kids looked older.

It’s oddly a relief to hear a case of child marriage that amounts to two kids innocently deceiving the system, instead of so often hearing about the not so innocent system winning.

Ed Asner was indeed such a talent. I love watching him on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, so funny!

@@ifeelpretty5790 yeah I used to watch reruns of the Mary Tyler Moore Show with my grandma! Some of my favorite memories were about with his character!

Another sidenote: Birds are closely related to dinoaurs, so that description was not off.

Omg. Together for over 70 years. That’s crazy.

You guys have that kind of love many in this life aren’t lucky enough to find. I wish you many many years together full of love and happiness. Thank you for sharing that true love is out there ❤

@@liamisaac1152 thank you 😊💜 means a lot 🥹

YES!! That'd be amazing.

omg stooopppp 😢

I hope you continue feeling better, friend

*hear (sorry, my H key doesn't always work)

I noticed that too while editing! My personal theory is that Charles Muntz is a flaming misogynist and deliberately made all the dogs sound male because he didn't like the idea of women on his ship 😂 - Stef

I have an even darker theory - that he kills the female dog once the pups don't need her and keeps the best female from the litter (to birth next gen) tucked away and not part of his main team of male dogs that do his bidding. If Muntz takes out human rivals like their lives don't matter ending dogs for being female is not going to even make him bat an eye...

@@themoviebudz1988 Unless the last female died before Carl and Russell got there. That's the end of the dogs' line right there
