Adolescence of Utena - the driving castle
Фильм және анимация
A scene in the Revolutionary Girl Utena film Adolescence of Utena, part of the otherworldly car chase which makes up the last third of the animation. Seeing this for the first time left me baffled with a widely open mouth.
I uploaded this to show the grandiose surreal design of the film, although I'm left with the bitter taste of uploading such disembodied scenes failing to convey their meaning without the context of the whole film (and series). Since around 2/3rds in the entire anime becomes just one giant pile of surreal, brilliant allegories while an instantly recognisable plot is devoured by a metaphorical firework.

In the manga, it's a place. In the series, it's an illusion. In the movie, it's a frickin' mobile fortress.

Power of symbolism. I saw it as Anthy escaping an abusive relationship and it felt great!
If I don't get myself a girlfriend who can turn into a car, I ain't falling in love.
So I assume that Anthy created some sort of pocket dimension with her powers with a surreal Ohtori Academy, even with a false Akio. She didn't escaped because she feared the outside world or real world, but Utena gave her the strenght and means (becoming a car) to escape, and the Driving castle was like a subconscious last defense that Anthy made to prevent her escape

You are quite right. I think Ohtori Academy is like teenage limbo. It is a place that is not quite childhood and not quite adulthood Anthy refused to grow up, and all the other people who did as well remained in Ohtori. (and all of them had a reason to do it. Utena was still damaged by Touga's death, Shiori as well and she also The castle is a representation of childhood dreams and fantasies and the inability of the characters to let go of them, and finally "graduate".

Less like powers, and more like the power of being a victim of that mysoginistic “witch” movement we had way back in history - look it up, it was horrific. People believed witches were real, people believe in sexist ideals, and that belief gives Anthy and Akio their “powers.” This stuff was so prominent in her life it literally manifested itself as the realest magic-looking weirdness ever, even if it’s not the fairytale it seems like

The race was truly a completely bonkers and unexpected climax for the series. While also being absolutely brilliant and in line with the theming.
I had the chance to see this in a movie theather. The castle looks FANTASTIC on the big screen.

Hey, I didn't know that kunihiko Ikuhara liked "mortal engines". As a fellow fan of UK science fiction I'm glad to know that a Japanese animator put this fantastic tribute to such a tantalizing book series
A giant castle on wheels! That is some of the coolest and most creative imagery I’ve seen!!
"Pimp my ride" has been taken to its logical conclusion.
I *WISH* I could devote my life to studying this series.
I Will always remember My first time watching this scene back in a anime conference in Lima in 2000! Those were the days
I always thought of the final transformation of utena, releasing the red cape as a means of having her period and becoming a full woman

I admit that, while watching this scene, part of me was like "OF COURSE the castle is a car" 💀
That girl turned into a car and i cant believe it, funniest shit i've ever seen Oh yeah btw im newbie to the anime i just like yuri that's all
Still wrapping my head around the entire thing, it's such a crazy deviation from the show but I love it. The TV series already had a really cool aesthetic, but here the amazing animation makes it phenomenal.
There's three types of people: Those who get it; Those who don't get it; And those who are driving the car.
A revolutionary scene

I would have loved a Utena novel! it would have been a good read.
They turned our protagonist into a flaming car. This is not weirder.
Wakaba is the best car

Utena é cheio de simbolismos. O que eu entendi nessa cena final foi que: Utena e Anthy queriam escapar desse mundo de conto de fadas e ilusões e principalmente do tal príncipe encantado.Utena se transforma em um carro depois de passar pelo lava jato que aparece no meio do jardim,mas não tem ninguém para dirigir e guiar ela para o mundo exterior,e por isso o carro começa a inferrujar. Depois que Anthy entra no carro determinada a guiar Utena para o mundo exterior,Utena/carro volta a ser o que era antes, provando assim que cada uma precisa da outra. Os obstáculos no caminho, principalmente o castelo sobre rodas,ao meu vê representam a vida que Anthy sempre levou sendo a noiva da rosa. Sempre dentro de um castelo e nunca podendo ter a vida de uma garota normal.Depois ela encontra o príncipe/ fantasma do próprio irmão,e se recusa a voltar para a academia dizendo que ele já não era mais seu príncipe,e que ela e Utena já fizeram a decisão multúa de viverem juntas no mundo exterior. As barras (ou slá oq era aquilo) espremendo o carro podem representar os traumas e medos do passado prendendo as duas e as impedindo de revelar quem realmente são. Felizmente elas conseguiram ficar juntas no final ^_^

Utena in the anime was the "vehicle" for Anthy to escape. In the film, which can be viewed as taking place "after", Anthy becomes the vehicle for Utena to escape the illusion of the school. Now awakened to their true selves, they plan to leave the illusion behind. However, this is not enough, so the school again interferes, turning Utena in to the literal vehicle now for Anthy to use in her escape.. This is not enough, however, when they both confront The Prince/Akio/Dios at the end. The castle strips away all of the outer shell of the car, symbolizing the allure to return where it is safe, and it's inability to let others escape. They both are only able to escape, together, side by side because that is what is needed. Not one person relying on the other, but the two working together to pierce the illusion. After escape they must now navigate what seems to be a barren wasteland, their vehicle stripped to its essence and themselves stripped bare of uniforms/costumes. But the sun shining through shows that good times may lie ahead, as the castle slowly fades away, the same way ones childhood/adolescence seemingly fades over time.
The best part is at 1:46 especially when the music starts up.

Utena was the way for Anthy "escape" from the Ohtori academy, the representation of childhood. She passed away from the dead of Touga and help Anthy to go outside of the world of fantasy. The movie is a big allegory for the end of childhood for the beginning of adulthood(the end of the world).

Fantasy is a prison. And the girls want to escape prison. The ultimate symbol of fantasy is the fairytale castle, so the last obstacle before they can truly be free, is to defeat the castle, and the false prince.

Stephen Jackson There's nothing really obtuse about Bloodlust. But this film makes perfect sense, too, if you just keep in mind it's all a metaphor, just about nothing about the visuals is meant to be taken literally. The castle is basically signifying how the simplistic fairy tale ideologies can trap you and keep you from reaching your full potential.
