Amazing how random scenes spliced together in the right way can have such a profound effect.

The first time i watched this movie, i was so depressed, frustrated and totally gave up on life. I was so sure that the future wasn´t holding anything for me. I was so invested in maintaining my self image of an smartass, intellectual and snob person. Years later i started doing mountaineering and rock climbing and that has filled my soul in a way i never imagined.
So, for anyone that need to hear this: don´t give up, and stop holding the image you have created of yourself, life and this amazing world has a lot of suprises waiting for you. The posibilities are really endless and beyond your imagination.

That moment when you realize that every single step you have ever taken or not taken has affected or not affected somebodies life in someway because that is the story of humanity, even before you were here someone contributed to your life by choosing to take those steps. But the story of humanity never ends because just by watching this film you are continuing the story.

[BassLudeman]

when "this story has never ended" shows up and that last chord plays I get chills every time

[Allplussomeminus]

After the characters escape from that hellish, desperate situation, we as the viewer come to relish, cherish every moment depicted here.

In the beginning this montage meant nothing, but after everything that happened?... I was so happy and so grateful to merely set my eyes upon this montage. I burst into tears.

this depiction of life is
better than the tree of life

Watched this movie yesterday, and wow, I’ve never fell in love with a movie so quickly. This scene is so existentially devastating, yet hopeful, and I love the message it presents, that even if the universe doesn’t care about you, you need to take initiative of your life, and enjoy life to the fullest.

[hibryd]

This is one of those movies that you might only see once or twice but it sticks with you your whole life.
This movie and this sequence in particular snapped me out of a pretty stale existential crisis.

[blackidna]

The very first movie that talks to your soul rather than your ears.

And yes, I end up wheeping every time I see this ending.

my friend and i believe the old man doesnt want to identify as a man and is gay. in all the flashbacks for him in this, hes looking at lipstick, jewelry, enjoying the material things about women rather than the actual women. there is a part where its the poster of nearly nude women, and then him trying to tuck. man i love the constant intrigue with this movie. i feel like only the yuasa himself really knows, but that ambiguity is powerful

[mychalsorensen]

A film not of this earthly realm. An exquisite masterpiece. Words couldn't even describe how life-shattering and thought-provoking this is. I'm gobsmacked and enlightened every time. Thank you Yuasa.

At first its hard to understand but so far I understand that everything is playing in chronological order based on the info they shared in the story by using landmarks like the rockets taking off, the war and Myon's birth.

[endless-less]

This movie is amazing, it’s life itself.

[denmark_morales]

I love how this summarizes the whole movie in 5 mins, twice.

[paperfeathers]

this is breathtakingly brilliant, I can't handle how great it is

[imanultrastarwarrior]

A story the world shares for, "this story has never ended."

[gustavemuhozi]

RIP Maradona, cant beleive he was referenced in this sequence until now

[ipotatosenpai]

I just watched this properly again...and, DAMN, and all the endings and evolution and rebirth thing, damn, easily one of my most favourite movies

[Windyyyyyyyyy]

You just can’t help but feel emotional after watching this movie. It’s a fever dream of life, and you will appreciate it until the bitter end

[SonsOfSevenless]

watched this for the first time while peaking on an acid trip. great movie

[Protoman]

This scene just left my head spinning. Even after watching it, I have so many questions about that scene with Aniki (the senior yakuza who was with Atsu) that came before the final sequence did, but to even bother asking itself would be a potential spoiler that I wouldn't *dare* say.
