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.

    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

    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.
