This movie is good but SOOOOOOOOOO weird

hybrid hare

tawdry brook
#

It felt very classic ghibli weird

#

I loved the stupid parakeets

This felt like a tribute to previous movies tbh, like maybe I’m overthinking it but I still feel like there were some suttle references

languid tree
#

Overall it was a nice movie, was a little too slow at times and plot was super confusing with nothing really explained but the animation is pacha as always

#

And the Danny Devito bird knocking the birds out was fucking hilarious

celest sparrow
#

i agree with everything you said duggy lol pretty much my exact thoughts

#

i watched it dubbed and none of the va clicked until i saw the credits

#

i had no idea gemma chan and florence pugh were in it

tawdry brook
#

I clocked Bautista as soon as he had like his third line

celest sparrow
#

oh yeah he was the only one i recognized but couldn’t figure out who it was

#

Everyone else did a great Job

I only saw the dub trailer but if you gave me a million guesses id never say it was Robert Pattinson lol

The inside story of how an American animation company laid it all on the line to make the English-language version of Hayao Miyazaki’s “last” film a devastatingly beautiful must-s…

Beginning was SLOW. I don’t blame her.

You can play binding of Isaac on an ipad?

#

The one thing I appreciate about Ghibli movies is that nothing can happen and it’s just them doing basic tasks and asmr for like 3-5 mins and you’re invested the entire time

#

This was a little too slow imo

#

I loved the parakeets

#

I want a movie about their society and way of life

turbid heron
#

The beginning was my favorite part, the ocean world was where I was getting antsy

#

But then pelican scene was heartbreaking

#

I wished it kept the original title, it makes more sense

#

Best dub I’ve ever seen

turbid heron
#

The dub was very good

static remnant
#

I gotta see the dub now. I wanted to go again so perfect excuse

silent tundra
#

So the parakeet king is Goro Miyazaki right? ppRapLaugh

silent tundra
#

I said that to my friends the second we left the theater and they lost their shit. Because it’s true!

#

This is one of those movies where I gotta read people smarter than me analyze it but I picked up on the self insert

silent tundra
#

One thing you miss if you don’t see the dub is the parakeet cameos

silent tundra
#

i'm gonna be very curious about how people who aren't massive ghibli fans feel about this one because this movie is very specifically a metatextual reflection from miyazaki on his career and legacy

maiden cape
#

I think the narrative as an individual movie gets muddled by the meta stuff unfortunately

#

It’s much more art house than the other ghibli movies I’ve watched

silent tundra
#

i love metatextual anime movies like this

#

this is to miyazaki what the evangelion rebuilds were to anno

#

which is ironic since the two of them have collaborated so much

#

anno starred in the wind rises which was the last very specific metatextual reflection from miyazaki on his career and legacy and went "i wanna do this too" and then miyazaki had to have the last laugh

#

now there's talk of miyazaki actually having another movie in him

#

gee, i wonder if it's gonna be a metatextual reflection on his career and legacy

#

i'll be here for it though

silent tundra
#

Now the difference between this and The Wind Rises is one of them is a good movie

languid tree
#

Ye the movie felt like a tribute/ legacy

#

The wind rises was depressing as shit

#

I got a little worried that this one was going to be as depressing and it is somber but not as depressing

silent tundra
#

Wind rises bored me

silent tundra
#

hearing ||dan stevens and tony revolori and wade from elemental|| cameo as parakeets in the dub was peak

#

i forgot that i read a few days ago they were in it even though im pretty sure i posted about it here

silent tundra
#

Feel about the same I did the first time on rewatch

#

Solid A tier Ghibli but not peak Ghibli

#

I am obsessed with how Pattinson says IM BACK TO MY GORGEOUS AND POWERFUL SELF

#

watched the sub Tuesday night and then I found out I should've watched it in dub, which I'm going to do next week I hope

silent tundra
#

The dub is very good, if only for Christian Bale’s gruff daddy’s gonna help you get vengeance

quick quiver
#

Him and Dave Bautista both wanted to put themselves out as much as possible with the little time they had.

silent tundra
#

the warawara are my friends 🙂

#

one of my coworkers was trying to give me shit for seeing a dubbed anime last night "i'm only gonna give this one a pass because it has robert pattinson and luke skywalker in it" and inside i'm like well you're 16 you don't know shit

16? Argument invalid
