I also want to point out the position of her hand. She is mimicking the stone-statue people with a "giving" gesture. Now, I don't know how to fully interpret this observation with how she also made herself part of the final trap of her tomb. One idea I had was that she set up that trap, but as the last moments of her life come, she realizes her utter mistake and made one final gesture to atone. Or she made that gesture on purpose to draw the tomb raider in the hopes of giving them a false sense of security (like it almost did to Sisu).

Dunno if anyone things about this, but it really sucks that Raya's father missed like 6 YEARS of Raya's growth. That's time he'll never get back. It's like he went to sleep and she was a kid the last he saw her, and then the minute he woke up again, she was a full grown adult. Time passed for Raya, but for the chief it could have felt like the blink of an eye. That had to be so jarring, and I honestly don't think that they made that clear enough.

I never saw them as something for humans to fear. I was born in the year of the dragon so I've always sort of identified myself with them, and as a kid I would get offended whenever I saw them portrayed negatively.

"Sisu" is a word in Finnish. It doesn't translate well into English but it's basically the definition of "not giving up" and "having guts to do so". Or as a simple google search says "strength of will" But I don't think the producers knew the word existed although the word describes Sisu in the film pretty well.

Something I noticed when watching the movie is that at you look at Sisu’s older brother when Sisu’s family is using the gem (15:27 in the video) his hands are cupped like how the people who got turned to stone hands are, which means that the pose that those people have is technically them putting their trust in Sisu to use the gem.

in my opinion this movie showcased the message "if you want trust from another person, trust them yourself as well"

The trust theme would be fine if it weren't so incomplete. The problem is that Namaari lacks any kind of redemption arc. She betrayed Raya, and in a way that completely destroyed the known world - not a small betrayal - and does nothing at no time ever in the film to indicate that she is deserving of a second chance. Without that redemption arc, without requiring that Namaari demonstrate *some* kind of desire to change, the trust theme is dangerous. That's how people get trapped in abusive relationships. The world, the real world, our world isn't suffering due to a lack of trust, it's suffering due to a lack of repentance (meaning change of heart, not even religious). Were people who caused harm more willing to admit their wrong and actively change, trust would immediately follow.

The movie overall would have worked so much better if they had left out just the few seconds that showed Namaari’s finger on the crossbow trigger during the standoff scene. As it is, you have a point: the overall scene plays out like Sisu’s trust got her killed and Raya was right NOT to trust and just acted a little too late. But think about how the scene would have gone without that closeup. If her finger HADN’T been on the trigger, it would imply that she might have chosen to put the bow down-which would have made sense based on her conversation with Virana earlier in the movie, she seemed on board with the idea of bringing Sisu back and re-making the gem. Raya’s sudden, UNtrusting move to disarm her would have then been what caused the crossbow to shoot (In no expert on crossbows, but something slamming into a loaded one that’s ready to shoot could conceivably break something and/or release the tension in a way that would make the bolt launch)-in fact when I first saw the movie that’s what I thought had happened. This would make Namaari’s later line that Raya is also responsible for Sisu being shot make a lot more sense, and make the point that *sometimes*, (not always), doing things out of fear and distrust can make situations worse.

I feel that it is less about "Trust everyone no matter what." But rather Trust people to want to help each other when the option is presented.

Something I think a whole lot of people miss is that the message of the movie isn't simply about trust, it's about mutual trust. Every instance where trust turns out to be a mistake is one where the characters are interacting with people who have been told not to trust their whole lives, and in Namaari's case, she's also being manipulated/instructed by her mother, who doesn't trust the other lands. Ultimately, a lack of mutual trust created the literal apocalypse (twice, according to Sisu), but its trust that saves the world and begins the process of repairing it at the end of the film. Namaari finally decided to take a risk for someone other than Fang, and Raya and co. realized that holding onto hatred and grudges (which have kept their world back for, oh, 500 years) was only going to make things worse. Edit: yeah, I made this comment, like, halfway through. Thank you, Cinemawins, for addressing this issue and taking a new angle on it I hadn't seen before. Your point is honestly stronger than mine, since it faces a hard truth of life: that sometimes, trust has to go one way before it becomes mutual.

Another fun detail I love about this movie is when Raya comes up to have her final confrontation with Namaari. When she brings the stone up and repealed the Druun coming towards her, two of them are shown being repelled, showing that one life just ended so that they could replicate, meaning they had JUST killed Namarri's mom or relatively recently. This gives her even more reason to be angry and spiteful towards Raya, giving the last battle that much more tension.

Just the lighting of the water and tone of Raya’s skin are stupidly good animation. -The dragons designs. They are long fluffy magic noodles. That is just beautiful. -Shisu’s misunderstanding of the world around her. It makes sense that, after the last thing you remember doing o save the world is having to trust people, you would naturally think that everyone is to be trusted. -The angry old lady chief. Idk why. She makes me happy even tho she betrayed Shisu. -The FOOD EFFECTS. GOD IT MADE ME SO HUNGRY WATCHING -The fact that Tounge(I think??) likes the baby because he misses his own child. -Just seeing how the hatred had changed Raya after Shisu was killed. She was ready to kill. It added a great effect. -The symbolism. How, because Shisu is the last dragon, and she is a water dragon, her being killed drained the water. Water truly is ‘magical’ in this world, as it acts as protection against the Druun. Also, how when they basically become un-stoned, the rain is what washes it away. Rain is water. It is Shisus magic and trust that saves them. Now, things that should have been changed: -A better Namaari redemption arc. We didn’t have much of her in the movie. I believe that there should have been more of her realizing how corrupted the world was, and how she wanted to change it. -A close up of her finger off the trigger, not on. If they had showed that she was hesitating on shooting and had decided not to. If that had been shown, it would have created the impression that Namaari had finally been redeemed. However, it was Raya lashing out in her distrust that killed Shisu. I’ve operated a few crossbows, and hitting them while they are loaded DEFINITELY sets them off. That was all for now. I will update more later.

Finally got round to watching the film this morning (as well as Encanto, waiting for that EGA vid) and it is beautiful. There was one moment that had me in floods of tears, when Raya and her father see each other on the bridge and how she says "Ba" before running to him. So much heart and loss and relief and joy crammed into one small word.

... oh please, there was more sexual tension between those two than there was between Nick and Judy in Zootopia.

"Stupid no dragons world" - most relatable saying Ever.

"I love that sweet and cutesy Sisu pulls off ferocious like a champ" Unfortunately the comparison is unavoidable but Sisu can't pull off sweet and cutesy or ferocious like Toothless can.

I realized something about the scene leading to the Dragon Gem breaking. All the Fang people saw the firework and immediately knew what the signal was for. This means that Namaari was NOT the only one in on the plan to steal the gem, and based on her other interactions with her mother, I doubt it was even her idea. Also, Chief Virana seems like a smart enough ruler she would have given flares and instructions to multiple people, not just her own daughter, so the plan would have more chances at succeeding. You do mention some of this at the end of the video, but I just really like when movies that give redemption arcs to the main antagonists don’t make them completely unlikeable from the start.

It's also a misleading mentality and also why if you sees something rated 80% or so is usually just meh, and 70% is flawed. Since your average "wholesome" person thinks on the scale of 5, 5 is the average standard, and only if there is something terrible should you take away from that score. "Nothing great about this thing, and honestly it's a bit boring, but it's not a catastrophic failure, 4.2/5."

The movie felt like an overly extended version of one of those short films in the trailer sequence at the movies (something like Disneys lava)

I absolutely love the moment right after Sisu is shot where it zooms in on Raya and shows her reaction. From the animation that shows the true fury in her eyes to her raged filled breathing. It’s such a subtle detail, but it was one of the most realistic animated scenes I’ve ever seen.

I went into this movie not knowing anything about it and having no expectations, and ended up loving it so much.

One of my favorite details for the world building was the consistent water-centric theme to EVERYTHING. The dragon's magics are based around/act like water, the language ("What's drippin?", Super flow plan, right?", etc.), the martial arts used are all [more] heavily based on using streams of actions rather than single moves, the spirits being moved by the Druun all slip away smoothly with tendrils following like a current, even the map is water centric! Absolutely loved it.

It did make me think that Disney has been showing off their new water-animation software that they made for Moana though. Counting Moana, this is the third Disney animated theatrical release within the past few years with a water theme-the fourth if you include Pixar’s Luca. (The second was Frozen 2)

I would seriously love a tabletop RPG built around something like this. South-Asian inspired fantasy setting with fantastical creatures but little to no magic on the people side of things sounds like so much fun to just mess around in. tbh the worldbuilding in this movie is just top notch

I appreciate your positivity even about movies that a lot of people aren’t super fond of, but with win counter 152, I think that the whole thing of raya giving Naomi the option of either A. Turning to stone and dying with everyone else, or B. Not turning to stone and saving anyone, does not show trust, Naomi has to put together the stone or else she will die, that does not mean that she cares at all about Raya, I mean even the worst people in history would do that because it involves self preservation. When your trust is broken, the person who broke your trust should be the one to take the first step to mend it, not the other way around. What they should have done is given Naomi another option of getting out with the stone and her life, leaving raya to be turned to stone, but still have her choose to save everyone to actually put meaning into the moment.

This IS a beautiful movie.

Can we just win the gorgeous and intricate details in the animation. Not just the landscapes but the unique look to each of the dragons and the details in the clothes and hairstyles. The animation is just stunning.

I like how the Tail Chief, the one who first spoke about how untrusting she was to heart and then body slams Raya, is found later on. While the other characters are just in the stone "sleep", Not only did she pass away, but she passed away alone, shutting everyone out with traps, and while holding the gem in the same pose the stone statues make. It immediately sets up the main resolution by showing what happens when we let fear and cowardice take control over trust and bravery. While the Droon at least give a chance to prove the good in you, lack of trust for anyone leaves you loneliness and death.
