Utena Car Transformation scene with commentary (along with english subtitles) from the Director.

From The Utena Movie. The Director Kunihiko Ikuhara said in his commentary, that this is like the story "Sleeping Beauty", but with the roles reversed. Meaning that Utena who had been the prince throughout the film, now became like the "Sleeping Beauty" Princess, because when she got turn into a car, she was/is basically being put into a deep sleep, that only Anthy, now in the role of the Prince can wake her from. Hope that helps anyone, that could never really understand the reasoning behind this scene.

I thought so the roles switched, in the end of the series Anthy said it's my turn to find you wait for me utena, this world is utena's as opposed to the series the world belonged to anthy and akio mostly akio, she wanted to be rescued for once by her love anthy

I was right YAY!
