Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Hermione Granger None of this film makes sense. Basically, an old volcano falls in love with one a third his age that appears out of the water. She doesn't see him, so he sinks back into the water out of depression. But then they end up next to each other and sing, "I lava you."Now, tell me--why is something 60 years old (or at least looks sixty in human form, much older in thousands of years) in love with a twenty-year-old? Even though they're volcanoes, which are thousands of years old, he's still three times older than her. How did the volcanoes sink into the water and end up in different places? And "I lava you" is just lame. The only good thing about this is the animation.This does no just to Inside Out, which I was relieved to see after this. Like another said, sweet and heartfelt, but a singing volcano?
abcooke-24327 The reason I'm writing this review is because I see one that says it was so horrible and they couldn't stand it. This little film is so darn cute!! I smiled through the whole thing, it was heart warming , and put just a little bit of kindness & love in the hearts of those watching. It left me feeling better, I like that :) It's pretty amazing that it made me smile, laugh, feel sad, etc in only 7 minutes. I think that's saying something. I enjoy things that make the world seem a bit happier and more full of love, this did that :) I hope you at least watch it once.
benzado Lava is a beautiful allegory for how a lonely old man can be rejuvenated by the companionship of a very attractive and much younger woman.Uke, the male volcano, spends his life singing about how lonely he is and wishes for the universe to send someone for him to "lava" (a pun for "love"). When he is old, gray, and nearly extinct, the universe rewards him with Lele, who unlike Uke is oddly shaped for a volcano (she looks more like a young, thin human woman). They sing about growing old together, in spite of the established fact that Uke is significantly older than Lele.On the other hand, it is followed by a film (Inside Out) about a young girl with agency and a relatively sophisticated understanding of her life. Interestingly, the other film goes so far as to propose that the young girl is not totally controlled by her emotions, and that perhaps this is the case for other people, too.
fairyglenn05 Just saw Lava with Inside Out and absolutely loved it! I had not heard anything about it or even seen any previews so I was completely new to its concept. It starts as a beautifully written tropical island song about a lonely volcano watching love grow in all its forms in nature as he pines for his own love. The story takes you on a sea washed voyage of truly amazing animation and a series of emotions... I literally laughed and cried.I'm really glad I hadn't seen anything about it prior... It seems like they show too much in the trailers now a days!!
