The line that Grandma said towards the end it was drove home that this felt like a gay metaphor even though that wasn’t the creators intention.
“ Some people, they will never accept him. But some will. “
"And he seems to know how to find the good ones." ❤️
There's so many little moments like this. Leaving the ocean plays just like coming out, 'the deep' is like every correctional facility or attempt at sexuality conversion a non-straight person has ever heard of, Giulia is the embodiment of every cool ally, and as you say that line near the end - it doesn't sugar-coat the difficult reality ahead but offers bittersweet consolation that there is definitely acceptance out there. Intentional or not, it reads this way wonderfully.
The whole movie is a metaphor not only for gay people but any group of people who felt that way. Sea monsters themselves are a metaphor. Enrico Casarosa (director) and Andrea Warren (producer) said so in an interview. It was 100% their intention.
You know it can be said just about ANYTHING that is SLIGHTLY different from "normality".
the entire movie was filled with blatant allegories for lgbtq+, v emotional
In the end, Alberto ended up getting an adoptive dad essentially
I know the intention was for them to be platonic, which is understandable because it was based off of somebody else’s life. However, given the audience reaction, reception, and how the story panned out to be, I think it would be a great opportunity to take the story and create a sequel in which Luca and Alberto and all together. It will be really powerful and sit in naturally with how the story was already progressing. Guilia can still be an ally and a sisterly influence on them!
I love how this movie is just a movie. Like Pixar didn’t go heavy with the theme, yet it’s still emotional and as fun as some of the other Pixar movies. It’s just such a summer fun movie, and personally one of my new Pixar favorites. 💕
I can understand the sentiment but I disagree. I'm Italian and the only italian story we got from Disney so far was"Pinocchio".After *81 years* we get another movie settled in Italy and not only I personally dislike the character design but the story is not even that deep or emotional?I mean...just 4 years ago we got that moving masterpiece that is"Coco"😭💘and now we Italians get *THIS?* I'm not saying the movie is BAD,but...it's nothing that memorable or emotional...it's really nothing special.😕We didn't need _Pixar_ to make such a movie,except for the great CGI.Very disappointed.X-( They didn't even take the chance to make a gay lovestory,which at least would have make the movie memorable for THAT... no...they had to officially state that Luca and Alberto are just friends.Great.😓So there's not even THAT to make your movie somehow"special"or memorable. My compliments. Great move,amico!👏
Topping Coco is going to be extremely difficult. I don't think the one set in Colombia will come close to it.
@@Nicamon Totally understand where you’re coming from. It 100% makes sense you should want to feel represented, and I understand this movie doesn’t live up to what you wanted. However, just because it’s not overly deep, still doesn’t mean it won’t be remembered or appreciated. I adore this movie, and probably still will for years to come. As for cultural representation, you’ll have to say how accurate and appropriate it is.
@@lilymorton1408 Cultural representation is fine...I'm not from Liguria(or from that time period!😅)but I heared it's done good.The only problem I have is with the italian version, actually,because the characters never say any word in dialect and it was such a huge waste opportunity.Also,the songs are all beautiful but none of them has ANYTHING to do with the plot of the movie and the only song that was *PERFECT* for it because it's litterally about a Vespa("50 Special"from Lunapop)is not in the movie,probably because it's a song from the '90s!X-(((
@@Nicamon Okkk gotchu. I can’t judge the Italian version, but I get your points!
The moment near the end when the two older ladies reveal themselves gets me every time. The metaphor in this film is everything.
Also, u r not the only person who read the relationship as romantic coded. The director has said he wanted it to be completely platonic between all of them, just a child adventure before the complications of girlfriends and boyfriends.
That said, he was totally ok with ppl interpreting it that way as well. And since the movie is about acceptance, it would make sense that ppl could especially connect to it. Especially with the pair of women also coming out as sea monsters as well at the end lol
@@JoveJoved bruh I'm sure you wouldn't be saying this if one of them was a girl.
@@JoveJoved oh but if luca liked giulia itd be okay right? Yall homophobes are so sensitive lmao
@@JoveJoved Dude, it's 2021, your homophobia is out of time

@@hersheybtches9839 no, same
A small detail: Bruno might have been Albertos Dads name, thats why he doesnt listen to his dads voice, telling him not to do stuff, since he left him :)
Oh, that's a unique perspective. Maybe. I really dont know that much about Alberto beside his father abandoning him and his friendship with Luca
I think it was confirmed by the director that Bruno isn't his dad's name. Still a really cool headcanon/idea though and it would've made sense.
I don't think he would say "Silenzio, Bruno!" to his own father. Most people don't call their parents by their name.
Stop that 😭😭😭😭
Oh shit wait I actually like that
Someone figured out that Gulias school is only about an hours train ride away. So if you're sad about the ending, you now have proof that they'll visit every chance they get.
Naysayers, shut up. Let us have this.
Silenzio Bruno.
If you watch all of the credits, there are pictures that show them writing letters to each other, phoning each other. Gulias dad visiting Lucas parents in the ocean. So cute, I dont know if many people know those are there
Genova and the city who ispired the main location of the movie are in the same region yes.
I can confirm as an Italian! They're just an hour (or even less) apart
Also the director liked several instagram pics about them reuniting
@@XMarx-it1yj YAY. We need a sequel.
I just want to cuddle with Nick and comfort him when I see him crying.
Luca isn’t one of my favorite Pixar flicks. But it’s definitely one of the most emotionally affecting.
Side note: I’d want to cuddle with Nick no matter the circumstances.

The fish are like sheep. Luca was herding them.
Even if Luca and Alberto weren't intended to have romantic feelings for each other, if the fans interpret that they did, i don't see any harm in it. It's a beautiful friendship or relationship regardless and i think we could all take notes. Also, the two elderly fish-women lived together so try disputing that relationship! 😉
I think Alberto is gay but I have no idea if Luca is gay.
@@lizaharris5026 i feel like luca could be bi
I think y’all have issues fr. Their kids.
@@jaylahmichelle they are literally teenagers. Also, your homophobia is clearly showing because you would not be saying that about a boy and a girl. Nobody has ever had a problems with kids as young as 5 being in love but as soon as it’s two boys, who are older, y’all start freaking out.
Also, kids can know they are gay at any age just like people know they are straight. I’ve literally known I was bi since I was six and fell in love with my best friend (were both girls) when I was 10. Stop with the “they’re too young” bullshit
@@jaylahmichelle I’m just a year older than Alberto and I already know what I am and I’m definitely not straight. It’s weird that y’all’s only argument is “they’re kids” like that changes anything.

Aww haha thanks so much, hope you liked it!
@@nickflix8657 YES!!!! yes I did, I just wanted to give you a hug when you were crying lol
@@nickflix8657 your so emotional with the sad parts its making me emotional 😂
I watched this with my 9 year old cousin and SHE had to comfort ME at the end of the movie
I just love this movie for what it was, it might not be as complex as other pixar films but i love it for its simplicity and innocence. This movie brings out the joys of childhood, those days we spent with out childhood friends and there's no worry in the world. Its a really beautiful film. The best animated film of 2021
This movie was like a breath of fresh air. It was emotional sure, but not the heart punch the last movies were.
I don't think a movie has to be complex for it to be good
My friends and I were bawling our eyes out when we watched luca.
I watched Luca 6 times now, and every single time I watched it, I always cry.
I'm Italian and I love your reactions! You look like a "cucciolone", like a big and cute puppy
This movie makes me crave that pasta.
I got so hungry for pasta the night I watched it and ended up making spaghetti lol.

Hmmmmmm pasta
I think credit drawing suggest that Alberto got actually adopted by Gulia's dad. In a way Alberto got his happy ending. Luca and Gulia will still visit any time they can or at least each summer. Alberto will finally get over his father problem thanks to Gulia's dad. Gulia seems to come from divorced marriage. We can also say Gulia's dad got his happy ending. I think in a way he is hurting from seeing Gulia just during summer. In a way he still wanted to be a dad for longer time. Now he has Alberto as his son. Maybe he sensed that Alberto has a need for parental care so he cared about him more than even for Luca. Also his fishing work will turn better thanks to Alberto. So overal it's kinda bitter sweet ending but I like to believe that they keep in touch and visit more often and Luca and Alberto's friendship grows stronger or even turn into something more when they grow older or after school. It would be nice if they would make Luca 2.
Luca was voiced by Jacob Tremblay -- you would remember him from your Room reaction! What a talented kiddo :)
That’s where he was from, was trying to figure that out haha.
This also hits close to home with me because my family is Italian and this is the first full Italian Pixar Disney movie we've planed to watch it and my dad was all ecstatic and excited we even rewatched some of it in the original Italian.
Where did you find it in Italian?
Yess as a proud italian I hoped you'd see this!!! kisses form italy
Luca is voiced by Jacob Tremblay as a sea monster boy who appears human when he goes out into the outside world. His parents are voiced by Maya Rudolph and Jim Gaffigan
Jacob Tremblay. I think he's the deformed boy from the movie Wonder. Not sure. I know Alberto is one of the Loser kids from the It movie.
@@lulystalgianature2968 he is from wonder
Ohhh I was wondering why I recognized the Dad’s voice!
@@lulystalgianature2968 yeah, jacob is the deformed Wonder boy. jack is the Eddie kid from IT.
@@thecursedqueen9185 Hah! I knew it! That's quite the duo.
Luca is so heart-warming, straightforward, and so easy to watch. There's definitely no need for most of us to over analyze everything. It just plays out the way it should. Luca, Alberto, and Giulia are the golden trinity. Like there's nothing that could ever break their friendship/bond apart, and to me that's especially wholesome since we don't get to see that being executed that much in animated films these days. Anyway, great reaction Nic! I'm glad you liked it. Can't wait for more reactions to come through.
Haven’t commented in a while but just want to say how much I appreciate you doing these long videos. Makes it so much more immersive even if you have to mute and blur it. Anyway thanks for making these videos so entertaining😍
Thanks so much, glad you enjoy the length!

This is probably my favorite Pixar movie since Coco. The animation is some of the most beautiful Pixar has produced! Kung Fu Panda is a great movie as well, I recommend it if you haven't seen it yet. Great video as always, I look forward to seeing more!
On my list and thanks!
@@nickflix8657 Awesome! The second Kung Fu Panda is incredible as well!
Hi! I wanted to recommend you to watch a movie called "Ponyo" is a beautiful movie of the same studio as "Spirited Away" and its a little bit simillar as "Luca" (with like humans and persons from the sea)
Ponyo is one of my favorite movies
Your gasp when luca shouted "sea monster!" is so funny to me cause that's exactly how i reacted agsjshs
Asides from that, i loved your reaction! Luca is such a sweet and comforting movie, I can't stop rewatching it. I end up crying everytime they get seperated at the train scene. And alberto's "go luca! go!" Makes me sob so hard :'((( It's so bittersweet. You can tell Alberto really cares for him and just ugh, pulls at the heartstrings.
I think everyone can interpret what they want about their relationship.
I like them to be "just friends" here (honestly, they are both still young, I don't need anything too romantic when it comes to kids) but I also like to imagine another movie of this one where they both are a little more grown up and kinda fall in love and stuff xDD aaaarrharrharr! 💙
I agree with you, im a girl and a have a bff that's is a girl too, but it dont means that we're girl friends, because its just friendship
That would be cute.
They're actually pre-teens, but I do see what you mean as I love their relationship either way. 😍😍😍
Please tell me you watched the end credits! The drawings are so good. Also, you are not wrong, they definitely give romantic vibes. Fun fact: someone posted a drawing of Luca, Alberto and Giulia with the gay, bisexual and lesbian flag and the director of the movie liked that post
This is true. He also liked a picture of Luca and Alberto building a sandcastle and sticking mlm flags all over it. He also retweeted a doodle of the underdogs, with hearts between Luca and Alberto.
Links to these amazing drawings?
Lucas's mom worried about hym, the guy saying they're disgusting and beating them, Luca judging Alberto for be brave enough to show himself to Giulia and then later he has the same courage, Alberto's father abandons him, the old ladies couple coming out... so many plots that a gay person can identify.. 🌈🌈🌈 #LoveIsLove
Hell no
@@prepostgamer305 hell yeah
I cried for a good 5 minutes after watching this
I love how perfect your profile picture is for this comment 😂
I absolutely loved this movie, i saw so many ppl saying it was bad because it wasn't as great or "deep" as Coco or Soul, but honestly i think that's amazing, it's such a pure, innocent and fun movie, and the best thing about it: you can interpret it however you want. As a queer person this movie meant a lot to me, i saw this as a metaphor for queer ppl, especially these scenes:
-When Alberto tells Luca he can't go to school and they'll see his "fish face": To me this remembered me of how i was afraid to show my true queer self at school.
-When Ercole calls them "monsters" and says ppl are disgusted by them: Alberto and Luca revealing themselves is like a queer person coming out (or a queer couple), some ppl will be "disgusted" by you, but some ppl will actually see you as who you really are without judging you, just like Giulia's dad did.
-The two old ladies revealing themselves (this doesn't need an explanation)
-"Some people, they'll never accept him, but some will and he seems to know how to find the good ones": This also doesn't really need an explanation, but it was super inspirational to me and made me cry a lot.
Anyway, this movie is just beautiful.
Can we please talk about the MVP'S of this movie?! Gulia and her father!
Oh right. Forgot to ask something. Did you see the credits? The drawings there are like a mini continuation of their story. Also, I think the reason Alberto decided to stay was because he really wanted that fatherly relationship that was denied to him 😢
I did, wished I recorded my reaction to it haha. And never thought of that, makes so much sense!
@@nickflix8657 Also, loved the fact that Massimo was born with a missing limb, yet that didn't stop him from living his life at all. Another valuable lesson.
Love "everyone's been telling me this is my kind of movie." Totally agree thank you so much for doing this movie my family loved it . Thanks for all your reaction videos always enjoy them immensely.
I do believe the sea monters, not just Luca and Alberto, may be a metaphore for queer people... especially with the two older women "coming out" at the end of the race... ! Anyway, I love your reaction, thank you for that !
Agreed!!❤
By the way, I really enjoyed your Prince Of Egypt and Joseph: King Of Dreams reactions. I think you respected those two movies really well and I'm religious and both of those movies are my No.1 favourite animated movies of all time. Keep it up with the content.
If only Dreamworks did more religious movies. Both were too awesome for words.
@@lulystalgianature2968 ah true!
maybe they could of done the story of Ibrahim, Ishmael and Isaac.
@@yam9195 So much lost potential! They still make great movies even if they're not religious. You got How to Train Your Dragon and the Kung Fu Panda movies. Then there's... the Boss Baby, which actually has a sequel now? 😤
"Wait, do they... like each other?"
Haha I think that's what most of us were hoping for.
They are literal children
@@cgmason7568 And children can have crushes, too.
@@knowledge-girl they have to hit puberty first I believe. I think this movie happens before then, when innocent friendships is all you have to think on.
@@memyselfandi7782 I got my 1st crushes when I was 4 years old. You definitely do *not* need to hit puberty before falling in love. I mean...some do,I'm sure,but it's not a rule!
@@memyselfandi7782 Luca is 12 and Alberto is 14 😐
Here's one more detail to confirm the gay/BL metaphor in the film: The song playing over the end credits is "
Città vuota" by Mina. The lyrics are about two lovers who long to see each other again... "Don't you feel that our love is not over yet?
/ Come back to me, my love, / And the city will not be empty any more." This is what they chose to play over the ending, the final impression! Everything is implicitly stated, but the relationship between the two is as crystal clear as the beautiful animation of the sapphire blue water in the film.
I don’t mind watching the same movies from different reactors, I actually live on them 😂. Like yes it’s the same movie but the reactions are different. 🥰
Beautiful movie , the animation was so nice . I think they were insinuating the relationship which may play into the color choices when they are in the water🤷🏻♂️. Amazing reaction 🙌🏼💙
One of my new phrases now is Silencio Bruno

*Silenzio
@@Nicamon thanks for that, I speak spanish so it came out in that language lol
@@dark_sunshinedgc LOL. No es problema.😉
I like it but I can't say it because that's my cousin's name. It would be really weird.
To the homophobes in the comments who've decided to try deriding anyone who reads the film as gay-coded, just get over it.
The Lion King is effectively an interpretation of biblical stories, and Shakespeare's Hamlet. Shakespeare was inspired by writers from all over, from Montaigne and Chaucer, to Greek philosophers from millennia earlier. The point of this? That all forms of media, written/played/sung/performed/filmed/etc., are interpretations. As such, all media is always open to interpretation. So no matter how long you sit there, waxing lyrical about what is canonical, or what the author or director of a particular piece of work has endorsed, neither you nor they can stop interpretation - it underpins all creative work.
Incidentally the creator of Luca gets this. Whilst there was nothing in his interpretation of the story he's told that was intended to be read as gay, he accepts that this is an entirely welcome reading of his work - because that's what fiction does. It interprets, and it inspires. It is surely only a good thing that people are able to relate to a film or associate with its themes, especially if those people are typically poorly or under-represented. It makes absolutely no difference to anyone else if someone has interpreted the film in such a way.
PS Fantastic reaction btw, I love to see someone who notices everything from character beats, to the score and the animation - that's proper immersion in film
The director LITTERLY said they were straight plus y do u always have to make everything lgbtq related can two kids not have a close friendship anymore
@@fusion2480 he didn’t, actually. He said he INTENDED for their relationship to be platonic, but is open to and encourages all interpretations, including romantic coding.

12:50- I feel it is worth noting that the director has stated that he had no intention of Alberto and Luca being seen as anything more than just friends, but he's perfectly fine with people interpreting it differently.
“Do they like each other? Maybe I’m just reading too much into it” Oh trust me, you’re not 😌
edit: things heating up in the replies i see
🍿👀
Why ?
@@kisslove974 It’s a pretty heated debate since it’s release that some people think there is a gay undertone in this movie while others just view it as a friendship. I feel like there are definitely some subtle moments that people can take it as a romantic relationship between Luca and Alberto. But feel like you can think of them in either way in this movie.
He is. The movie was confirmed not gay by the director. Obviously people can headcanon it, but until Pixar and/or the director change their minds and say it is gay, then people need to stop saying that's exactly what it is. (BTW I'm asexual so I'm someone who if LGBTQ+ so you can't call me homophobic. I'm just saying it like it is)

@@miku9421 many times the director ouright lies to protect his proyect and at the same times is contradicted by the character designer or something...
Guillermo Del Toro made a good point about one of his own movies: he himself intends that it really happened, but as any work of art, its up to interpretation.
bedsides, come on. If one of them had been a girl, it would have been the childhood romance of the decade without any discussion.
All the backlass its facing every time someone dares say otherwhise is unjustified
You needed this masterpiece after the nightmarish images of Pan's Labyrinth... there was a scene from that movie that traumatized me and I was a teen when I first watched it... the thought of it still gives me the creeps and I'm 33 now😅
Yeah you're right. He needed something light😅
I think I know the exact scene you’re talking about, I was traumatized by it, too. I was 11 years old when I first watched it but it’s still my fav movie of all time. I still think about that scene, sometimes too… 🥲
I just had one reaction in the end of Luca
Okay, I need a sequel
One of the most touching Pixar/Disney movies I have seen!
ayyy Luca! I love animation so freaking much!! Also I really like your reaction videos to animated movies, they always makes my mood really good :D Keep up being awesome!
I watched this movie. A friend came over unexpectedly about half an hour later. I made her watch it with me. She left. I watched it again. I literally watched it three times in one day. Then I bought sea Luca, sea Alberto, Guilia funko pop figures and the art book. I... may be obsessed with the perfection of this movie.
Bruno: "Luca isn't gay"
Me: "SILENZIO BRUNO!"
I cried so much at the ending. It’s so bittersweet 😭
The part when Luca shouts SEA MONSTER at Alberto hits right home
My friend did it to me
THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO THIS! This is a comfort film of mine and you being one of my comfort reactors alongside joey sings and YOBGS it means so much. You’re intense love to the animation and the story warms my heart ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
I think that if you get to see the movies grave of the fireflies and when marnie was there you will end up loving them too much:3
I really hope and you have the opportunity to see them, they are really beautiful ❤
Oh boy. Not Grave of the Fireflies. You'll kill him 😣
I really wish people react to When Marnie Was There. Especially Cody
!!!!!!
@@naylisyazwina6836 I am 100% in agreement with When Marnie was There. The only problem is that Ghibli has a bad habit of finding reactors who do their stuff and striking them for it. I would recommend not touching their stuff. It sucks, cause it's a good way to get exposure for them, but they don't see it that way, unfortunately.
Grave of the Fireflies would probably just destroy him, tho. That movie is a bad time for people who are very openly empathetic, and the way it ends is not at all reassuring or anything. It's a friggin amazing film and one of the greatest anti-war films ever made, but it's like getting punched in the gut for 2 hours straight - especially on your first watch.
When Marnie Was There is such a beautiful film. One of my favorite Ghibli movies along with Castle in the Sky, The Secret World of Arietty, The Wind Rises, and From Up on Poppy Hill (#1 Fave). But Grave of the Fireflies might actually destroy Nick. I don't know if that's a good idea
saw this notif and clicked on it instantly!!! i love this movie so much and i cant wait to watch your reaction!!! :]
I loved this movie, it’s so cute and they’re basically boyfriends, I don’t care what Disney says
Agreed, and honestly you KNOW Disney going to say "THIS IS GAY" or they'll lose money they're a company first, also the director argument yeah I'm not one to say anything about it but seems a little silly, if I were a director and I made a queer-coded film for a company that has trade deals for homophobic countries like China I would keep my mouth shut, because I would be concerned about the movie not being sold because the company stopped selling it and I'd want to keep that type of movie for the community I made it for, but you never know. 🤷🏻♀️ also there's the issue with people assuming they're too young bish please like you don't ask kindergartens if they have a bf I remember being asked if I had a bf yet extremely young I hated it and then there's the ideal that homosexuality is just a sexual thing which is also wrong, also their monster forms look a WHOLE lot like the MLM flag just saying. There's also the song choices the themes there's a LOT but its whatever, people will believe what they want and especially if they don't know much about the queer experience, that also can be a factor.
I love you so much. Your reactions are so PURE I can't believe it! Keep going, you're so sweet and a beautiful human being. I cried with you for the intere movie. Sorry for the bad english but I'm Italian. Like Giulietta.
38:17 "That was actually so emotional, I'm just so shocked"

Don't cry they write letters every day each other in the credits and anyway they can LITERALLY see them also everyday,maybe not cause of school because they have to study,but every weekend yes for example,Genova the main city of Liguria region and the city who ispired the movie are few hours distand with train,they can see all 3 each other every time they want.
Oh God, your reactions are so sweet and emotional, I can't.. I cried at the cinema, I cried with you now. This is an amazing film, very bright and kind. And by the way, I also saw this romantic tension between Luca and Alberto. This "Some people will never accept them, but some will" - it sounds so much like a gay metaphor to me. And not only that - a lot in general. And they simply are SO sweet together!
But anyway, it was wonderful and thank you for this reaction! You are amazing!
(I'm also sorry for my English - I'm not a native speaker))
I just love how the movie sets off like don’t be afraid of what u are and know that some people won’t except you but some people will and it’s just so heart whelming i could watch this movie everyday
I honestly thought that they were romantically interested in eachother too! And I would have loved to have seen that!!!
I love this movie. I’ve been to Italy and they got it really accurate. When I watch this movie I wanna visit Italy 🇮🇹🍝🍦
I’ve watched this movie sooo many times I just wanted to see it with someone else, and I felt everything as much as you!!! Loved the video btw
I want to be mesmerized by life the way you are. The light that sparks in your eyes. The wide eye gaze excitement. Love it
Thank you so much for reacting to this! I loved the movie and your reaction 🥰
Love your reactions to this! You did not cry alone!! Did watch through the closing credits? It tells a little more about what happened afterwards! Best Disney relationship ever 💖!
I did!
Awww, this was a perfect reaction! I was also in awe the first time I saw it, it was so beautifully animated and the story was just too pure. Platonic or romantic; the relationship between Luca and Alberto was one of the most authentic and honest ones in Disney/Pixar movies ever. I got the same undertones on the exact same parts as you, so I really don't think that was purely a coincidence. This movie just made me feel good & warm inside. Luca is the perfect main character, but Alberto is the one I relate to. I just love them both so much.
I finally watched Luca and I 100% believe Bruno is the name of the father that abandoned Luca's friend.
EVERYONE WATCH YOUNG ROYALS IT IS AMAZING 🥺
Not him catching up saying are they fallin for each other🤭 I said the same thing especially after that sad ending😢, My stomach was filled with butterflies🦋🦋🦋. The actor that played Alberto actually stated that he would want a part 2 of Luca and Alberto in they're adult days (Grown ups) reunite, catch up on things and to fall in love with each other.
Just wanted to say I love reaction videos but yours are my absolute favorite! You seem so genuine and nice and every video reflects that! So glad I found your channel! Thank you for all you do!
Yaaay I’m so happy you watched this! Fav movie I watched this year 💗 it’s so beautiful
Apparently the thing Alberto says roughly translates to "Nice to meet you, my name is Twisty Trombone."
This is officially the best reaction of this movie
I love this movie! I decided to watch it with Italian audio and with subtitles. So awesome! Great reaction! :D
I think the main reason why people get confused with the "love triangle" and "gay undertones" is that people are not used anymore to see actual platonic love in friendship. US shows and movies go a great lenght to highlight the differences between friendship and love although when you actually dive down deep into your own feelings you might realize that the love for your partner, for your firends, or for your family are not so different after all.
I really enjoy that the message about acceptance ends up rather generalistic where other movies try to expand their scope with examples which only ends up limiting the interpretation to the examples.
Such a lovely story of friendship
Very much so. The director himself was thinking of the fun he and his best friend used to have as kids. Pure and simple friendship. 🙂
@@WanderingRoe thank you to point that out bc I feel like now it is impossible to have a pure friendship
As a trans queer girl who grew up as a gay little boy I absolutely read it as a coming out story. Their relationship is more open to interpretation I absolutely cry each time I see it and I cried watching your reaction. Maybe it's the hormones ! i JUST GOT MY HORMONES, I CRY ALL THE TIME
You'll love friendship in the ''Land before Time'' trust me
But in Luca i believe there IS a romance between those two boys
I'm so glad you acknowledged the gay undertones between Luca and Alberto. A LOT of the Luca fandom ship the two, including myself. They are so adorable. And there are so many hints because their chemistry is so strong that they totally could be more. Even the two character's voice actors ship them with Alberto's voice actor saying he sees them eventually falling for each other in their future. What the grandmother said at the end just seals it in my opinion.
I ship Luca and Guilia, cause there was more romantic tension between them then with Alberto
Truth to be told I think luca deserves more love
and I am mostly inspired by nick and all of his emotions
I LOVE YOU NICK!!!!
We see what we want to see ✨ everyone interprets it in different ways and that’s what makes it even better
Don't worry about us watching this movie 5 time a week. I have to watch it like 7 times everyday. Thanks my dear niece and nephew.
My favorite Disney Pixar movie thank you so much
This is the first video I’ve seen from you, and this is such a heartwarming reaction! You have such a lovely genuine smile that you can really feel how much fun you’re having!
This was easily the most touching reaction video I’ve ever seen. I cried right along with you (for like the 50th time at this movie)
Such a genuine reaction, so enjoyable to watch! Luca is by far one of my favorite Disney/Pixar films, I wish I could go back and watch it for the first time again.
When I saw the thumbnail, I knew this movie was going to destroy you. Heh, and this was suppose one of Pixar's 'tamer' movies.
I'm super late, but if you haven't yet, you should ABSOLUTELY see Ciao Alberto! It's a 6 minutes long short that shows how Alberto is doing after the movie :]
Make a reaction to "Big Hero 6" if you haven't seen it yet, please :
Plan on it!
Loved your reaction, and this movie! I think that even if Luca and Alberto aren't gay (though I like to think they are because representation!), I still see this movie as a metaphor for coming out and acceptance, which makes it hit harder personally c: But whatever relationship they do have, platonic or romantic, I think we can all agree it's a beautiful one
I adore how emotional Nick gets in all his reactions. So pure. ❤
I see them as the ultimate bromance.
I love the bromance in movies
36:12 that whole scene just hurts but your reaction to that double betrayal is both perfect and heart breaking at the same time.
I always cry at the train scene. Especially when Alberto says how Luca saved him from the island so he'll be okay. Because you know he's right. He's got a home and people looking out for him and Luca's family even comes to visit and the end credits show how he's been well accepted by the town. He really is going to be okay.
And it's a happy cry really because this is one of those stories where if the adventure hadn't happened, everyone would be worse off than they are because of it. So it not only makes you happy to watch but also feel happy for everyone involved (well except Ercole) because they're all so much better off and the family is even closer because of it. ❤
