Psychology and Music in Up
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 09. 2019
- Disney Pixar's 'Up' has been widely praised for its sensitive, and accurate, depiction of old age. It follows the life of Carl, who, having lost his wife Ellie, decides to go on the adventure they had always been planning. In this essay, I look at how the music in the film, written by composer Michael Giacchino, acts as an expression of Carl's emotional state, and how the film follows Carl's internal conflict between his integrity versus his despair. This conflict was suggested, by psychoanalyst Erik Erikson (1902-1994), as the key part of the last stage of his psychosocial theory of human development, where a person asks of themselves - 'Is it okay to have been me?'. Through the music in 'Up', I believe we find the answer to this question.

Beautiful, I'm tearing up man.
Thank you!
Same holy shit:( ur vids are incredible!!!
I balled my eyes out five minutes into this movie! I love your videos!
Right?!This analysis made me cry more cause now I've got context
The analysis is brilliant.
The editing is beautiful.
One of the most underrated channel on youtube.
Thank you so much Louis!
Louis O agree!
For being perhaps the most thoughtful Pixar movie to date, Up takes the cake for my favorite story from the studio. That scene atop Paradise Falls is the one that succeeds in making me emotional more than any other. Because realizing that he _had_ in fact gone on his grand adventure with Ellie, Carl finds the closure he'd been looking for and is able to finally be at peace. I've always loved that reflective moment.
You're right - it's incredibly beautiful. 'Up' is the most touching, and sensitive of any Pixar film.
You're making me cry again! It's always this bloody film that does it :/
Another quality video!
Tell me about it....always this film.
Damnit same
every single time! even when watching a film about the film
Just hearing the music does it for me...
Two animated movies, ever, have made me cry. Up and Coco.
You are, without question, the most underrated music youtube channel
Thanks Joseph!
“Is it okay to have been me?”
*instanstly bursts into tears*
Ah yes, just another day with Listening In
Amazing analysis! and what an excellent film 😊😢
Thank you David!
Dude you just make me cry over an analytics video.
I cant believe i just click subscribe so fast
I always think the same thing when I watch his videos!
What the heck is up with this film, I haven't seen it in years and I'm STILL sobbing!
Guess I’m crying to scenes to this movie yet again. Wonderful video man, one of my all time favorite movies ever. Subscribed!
Welcome! p.s. sorry for making you cry...
Beautiful. I’ve been crying to this piece of music all day and been trying to think deeper about its meaning, as to why it is so profound and full of emotions.
It speaks to me a loudly. Despite of me being only 22 years old, my biggest phobia is to live my life in such a boring way and not be able to reach far and wide in life.
Your analysis and the question brought up by the amazing Erikson are thought provoking. Thank you for that and thank you for making me think about my life more going forward.
You’ll be just fine, my man.
I never understood why Up felt so different to me comparing to other Pixar features. Now I get it. Thank you for that!
Why do you always make me cry!! Maybe I'm just emotional or maybe it's the music! 😂🤣😭😭
One of my most stand out childhood movies. The feelings I felt of adventure and of sadness... Up will forever be an unforgettable movie to me and those of my generation who saw it. I will never see it again without feeling that mixture of emotions. When I have children I hope they’ll love this movie as much as I did.
this is the first video essay that has made me cry
All I can say is thank you. The work you put in, the analysis. Beautiful. Glad to have found this channel.
Much appreciated! Glad you found me too!
Fuck you now my eyes are sweating, that introduction was art in its own rite. And I sound like a broken record because of your astonishing consistent quality.
Thank you :)
This comment made me laugh out loud. I might even pin it. Thank you Andy - hope life is good for you.
Michael Giacchino is an absolute genius and talent!!!
I know this video is going to be 3 years old this year, but this was the first video of yours that I ever saw and it's still one of my favorites. I absolutely adore up and it's message and you explained it so beautifully and eloquently through the music and story. Thank you, I also somehow manage to cry every single time I watch this video lol.
i absolutely loved your explanation of erikson’s stages and their connections to pixar movies. in two days i have become absolutely obsessed with this channel.
I cried from beginning to end of your video. It's everything associated to this music (and lack thereof) you described that made me feel this way
I’m lucky to be one of the few who has stumbled upon such a well made channel that deserves so many more viewers then it has.
Thank you Eugene!
Fantastic analysis! I've only seen Up once in the cinemas (I can't watch it again). My wife and I thought we'd catch the latest Pixar flick about a flying house. We had no idea that Ellie and Carl had lived through the hell we'd been living through for years at that point. We were almost instantly in tears which didn't let up until we were the last ones out of the cinema.
Simultaneously joyous and devastating. Brilliant scoring. Beautiful analysis.
I actually cried man. Your videos are amazing. This channel is so underrated
The beginning of this movie just wrecks me.
Slick edit at 4:33
Indeed!
These movie 😭 I just can’t with it
Thank you for the amazing video telling me why I cry every time
I can't believe this video has only 16 thousand views it should have at least 1.6 million
This made me cry Instantly in the end.
Made me cry, because irl I just had a similar thing going on. I let down so many people including myself and some of my dreams didn't get realised even though I really wanted them to. The idea of accepting that some lost dreams would never get realised, and accepting the bad and the good that did happen is really cathartic to me.
I just feel like Andrew Stanton is such an underrated director and filmmaker, like he was easily the one of the most if not the most influential people in 2000s Pixar, and is one of the best filmmakers of the last twenty five years in my opinion, up there with Christopher Nolan, Edgar Wright, the Russos, and Martin Scorsese.
I need to stop watching these late at night. Crying myself to sleep isn't ideal. 😅
i'm not crying, you're crying
this guy is like the like stories of old for music. both amazing channels with brilliant analysis, brilliant editing
I'm so glad I found your channel. The most underrated channel on CZcams by far
Thank you - that means a lot.
TBH i consider Up, Rataouille, and Wall-E as thee best Pixar films. In large part to the pacing and music. All of them give Ghibli moments of just calm or emptyness. Or as Mizayki calls it "MA". Moments of calmness and just contemplation, like the train ride in Swept Away. Jon Lassater being fans of that included that in almost all Pixar films. A story with no dialogue driven by music.
How are you so underrated, this is literally insane
This song for me is so touching, since i saw the movie i made this song mine, at the point that when my wife was 6 months pregnant i put the song every week, at 8 to 9 months one day i put the song and baby move a lot🥹 at that moment i realize how beautiful and strong can music be, my baby is at to this day 8 months and always when we are at bed playing i put this song and baby begins to smile, laugh and try to hug me🥹🥹
Up until two years ago that last scene on paradise falls never got me.. wish that were still true.
i freaking CRIED watching this wtf
this is so underrated... needs more views
Amazing video. Also, while watching the movie i noticed that while Carl and Russel were being chased by the dogs, a distorted Ellie's theme was playing which I thought was pretty cool
I cried
Mate, you gave me shivers and goosebumps... The way you friggin say it is very calm and kinda spooky at the same time... The music, the visuals... /kiss_french @s too good...
Of course, I had to cry at the end again.
I love your videos! Keep it up, man!
I will do - I'm really glad you're enjoying my essays.
So I just binged all of your current content. (For informations sake, youtube recommended you, I suppose based off all the other music based and analysis content I watch).
So far you seem well spoken, having depth, and produces well edited content. You keep this up and you'll explode into this growing community.
I'd say your biggest diverting quality is that your topics are only centered around music. Surely you realized there are a great number of channels dissecting the literal music theory of certain topics, so expanding on the histories of music perceptions as experienced from others is honestly a very strong not quite as tapped potential.
Music is way to large to be put in a box, and it's the curiosities of what defines music that has always drawn me towards it. And you smacked that nail in the head pretty much every video.
Keep going, achieve greatness. Good luck on the way up.
Thank you for your lovely comment. I’m really pleased you enjoyed watching all of my videos! I too think that music is a holistic and all-encompassing topic. Theory is definitely interesting, but I find it most interesting when placed in the context of history, of literature, art, poetry, film and all the culture that it co-exists with. That was my main motivation for setting the channel up. I hope you enjoy what I’ve got planned, and thank you for supporting me in this journey!
I remember first seeing “Up” in the cinema. What an amazing film! This essay is brilliant and pulls together the various themes in a well-presented and interesting way. Thanks very much!
Once again, you've hit me straight in the feels and reaffirmed so much of what I hold dear in regards to who I am, how I've lived, how I've loved, and what I've done with my life. Thank you so much for this deeply-affecting video! You inspire me, my friend!
I have watched this three times over the last few months and have burst into tears every time. Thank you for this. It is so incredibly beautiful.
Excellent work man

Wow I definitely learned something new today. I love how the narrator explains the concept of the 8 stages and how he explained the difference in each time the theme was played. What a great video!
This dude is wayyy too underrated
Beautiful Video.😢
the ending made me nearly tear up, this is amazing work man keep it up
As so many others have said this is an absolutely extraordinary channel. The analysis is incredibly informed but emotionally intelligent. The editing is First class. Congratulations on a really good channel and I’m so glad I found it
Aw man!!! Dem feels!
I really loved and genuinely enjoyed your commentary, very thorough and detailed, bravo!!!
Dang it, I'm tearing up here at work. Great video.
Sorry about that! Thank you for watching!
@@ListeningIn Now I've finished 2 more of your videos. They are quite good. Do you animate all your graphics?
Thank you! I do animate all my graphics. Takes a while, and I’m still learning, but easier to do it myself.
@@ListeningIn I also do my own motion graphics but I feel I can never keep them consistent in a long video. I love video essays, someday I want to try my hand at it.
You're right - the video essay format is really appealing. Especially the 5-10 minute versions (you can probably guess who I'm influenced by!).
The way you write is so beautiful and your editing is so magical. I come to your videos bc I like learning more and more about music, but somehow based on the way you present the movies through music I ALWAYS END UP CRYING. Is not just UP or nutcracker or interestellar. Is your gorgeous way of making art. Know that it is been seen.
I’m crying. The movie is touching in itself of course, but you really nailed this video. Thanks
That was phenomenal. Wow. Thank you. I have been binging your channel, I am obsessed. This was my favourite one though. Keep up the great work man, it's just a matter of time until you explode.
This was great!
How are people so good at presentations and story telling
I just discovered this channel and it was very underrated... I love music too and the beauty it conceals... It only reveals itself to the one whose ears and heart is open... I love listening in... 💖💖💖
This video just got me even more emotional than the actual film! Thanks for making me realize how deep it is and bravo again for your work!!
daamn man, I'm so moved. BEST CHANNEL FIND in months
On Friday I write anexam about Erikson and this Video helped so much thank you!
This is such a beautiful essay. Its made me understand the film so much more, as well as understand my own life a bit better.
Just beautiful
your videos are bloody rad to the maximum!!!
The music of this film it's actually wonderful in many ways, the soundtrack reminds to classical Venezuelan waltzes, uniques in all ways. For me, as a musician who is trying to learn and understand the beauty and the complexity of the Venezuelan music i'ts a detail so beautiful, considering that I've come from that place. It's so satisfying listening the warm of my home in a beautiful and unique masterpiece like this. ❤
even a video essay about it makes me instantly cry lol
