What a depth, what a movie...

Rating: 8/10 (21 February 2017)

I remember seeing this movie as a kid in theaters. I was like 8 or 9. I didn't think it was an awful movie, but it (kinda) didn't makes me feel something, I just didn't get the point. Yesterday I buy this movie thinking maybe it was too deep or more for adults. And I was kind of right. I think kids can enjoy this movie, but adults too, and maybe even more than kids. I love all the metaphors (House represents what Ellie is for Carl), the music and the animation (even though I sometimes feel like they didn't nailed the balloons). In general, the first half was like a 4,5/5, truly brilliant. But the second half, I thought didn't gave that brilliance of the first half. It felt so fast, kind of messy and the action didn't worked for me. And the fact that Muntz dies, makes Carl kind of the bad one, like he doesn't care about that death, it doesn't even bothers him. Anyway, that half doesn't makes the movie a bad one. Its an 3,5/5 half. Still deep, great message (I would summarize like this: Love is amazing but you still have to do your own thing. What would you say?) and I don't know much about that stuff, but I think I can say it has a great character arc. Not a brilliant movie, but a veeery good one.
