Up

Upon countless rewatches, i continue to absolutely adore this film. The opening sets the tone, and the music is perfect. Although Ellie’s life and death is a heartfelt sequence, it’s not the saddest part of the movie (at least not for me). What breakes me, is when Carl finally lets go, not only of his house, but also of Ellie. And “memories can weigh you down” is perfect. It just is. And while talking about the score, Michael giacchino is so good in this. The way every scenes emotions are amplified with his score, has just stuck to my brain. “Married life”, “escape from Muntz mountain”, “stuff we did” and even “ the small mailman returns” all fit so well with every scene they’re in.
