Mostly spoiler free summary of my viewing experience

#The boy and the heron #how do you live #studio ghibli #ghibli #in all honesty that movie was legitimately so fantastic and im like changed as a person #Story wise as well! It hits really hard if you know a bit about miyazaki and his legacy. Its a very personal movie i think #And you can feel it in every aspect #The eng dub voice actors were really good as well and the animation was beautiful as always #Also really loved the tone!!! The story really relied a bit on the use of negative space in both sound and pacing and i enjoyed that alot #in conclusion go read a article about miyazaki and his son and then go watch the movie it’s probably going to be one of my favorites #image id in alt

I love how like, ambiguous so many Studio Ghibli 'couples' are. They're primarily male/female duos, and it's clear how much they love and care for each other, but more often than not it's never explicitly stated to be romantic. And their bonds aren't treated any less for it.

Idk it's just something I've always held close to my heart as someone who grew up not feeling romantic attraction the way most do, it made the characters feel more relatable and human to me, and while I still didnt fully understand my identity (didn't know being aro was a thing), it helped me better reconcile with it. And I feel that's incredibly important.

(And not just from an aro perspective. portrayal of m/f friendships is rare and something we desperately need more of)

Yes, they love each other deeply, but they don't need to kiss or be a couple for that love to be agknowledged and treated with importance. It's not any less than it would be if they weren't platonic. Hell, it doesn't even need to strictly be platonic or romantic. It could just be somewhere in between and that's okay.

Studio Ghibli fr out here making the most alterous duos I've ever seen.

#thought abt this while rewatching castle in the sky #nausicaä of the valley of the wind #castle in the sky #studio ghibli #arospec week #aromantic #ponyo #spirited away #alterous attraction #this is just my interpretation obviously but its definitely one of the reasons I've always loved these specific movies #secret world of arrietty #ghibli films #aromantic spectrum awareness week #aro #asaw 2024 #moth.txt #also it should be clear the movies im referencing r my favs i havent actually seen ALL their movies #i just habitually rewatch the ones in my dvd collection #they're my favorites for a reason

My mom just asked me if I wanted to go see the new Indiana Jones “because you’re so into archeologists lately”

#Indiana Jones #professor Layton #you know I love me some archeology professors #that’s also why my favorite studio Ghibli film is my neighbor Totoro #queue takumi defense squad #also just as a reminder #posts are queued a long time in advance #so i am aware at the time this posts the movie is no longer in theatres #it was at the time the question was posed #edit later #it may still be #my post order got all fucked up when I changed everything to be queued instead of scheduled #but this conversation occurred during the first week the movie was out

God, the news that Zelda might be getting a movie by illumination.

IdonotwantitIdonotwantitIdonotwantitIdonotwantitIdonotwantitIdonotwantitIdonotwantitIdonotwantit

Please god no. I am more pessimistic than Ninjago fans two months ago.

I don’t want it in 3D, I don’t want it to be goofy, with that same sense of humour that dominates all those movies that become phases for a month.

I don’t want the big selling point to be “x famous actor is playing big role”, the film media seems to saturated by the same people anyways.

If there were to be a movie then I’d wish it be created because the film makers were inspired by the game and had visions of how they could translate it into their own art but no. Pokémon got it’s new movie. Sonic got its new movie. Mario got it’s movie. Zelda is just another checkmark in a list of soulless opportunities for corporations to capitalise on already popular things.

It really feels like the movie industry is trying to capitalise on our childhoods by remaking the same shit in the exact same style.

I’ll only change my mind if they make a movie that is goddamn beautiful but I dread the cheap tropes, the tired writing that this will give us.

What will it be? Dumb noob Link will adventure with smartass woman Zelda and she’s only agreed to it bc the circumstances are dire, and throughout the movie Link gets more proficient at what they’re trying to do and starts to earn Zelda’s romantic interest but halfway through something bad happens and either link makes a mistake or quits and zelda is disappointed in him and leaves to go face evil alone and then link will come back and save the day and kiss the girl.

I can see that happening. It doesn’t even contradict the canon, zelda at its core was original the “save the princess” game. But if the make that it will be so boring.

You can totally make a Zelda movie and do it right I just don’t think they will.

#I hope the film has no romance in it at all #I hope they don’t do that thing where they make the girl initially hate the guy so that we can convince the audience that #you can make someone love you if you’re cool enough bc that’s incel behaviour actually #it needs to have good world building #it needs to have emotional investment and stakes #Zelda is literally inspired by studio ghibli movies #anti comedy and anti fun is a rare stance for me to take but #i just don’t know if I can trust it to be good #screaming crying movie studios will never understand Zelda like I do #Ik I’m being over dramatic and I don’t mean to put this negativity out there but yeah #loz #the legend of zelda

SOOOOO I was supposed to go on a movie date last week but my bf slept til noon and missed the time because he forgot to set up an alarm so we had to change it for today 💀

B U T this time it worked!! And since I came a bit earlier to the mall I had some time to take a look at the bookstore near the cinema and LOOK WHAT I FINALLY FOUND

IM SO SO HAPPY BUYING THE BSD MANGA IS LITERALLY MY DREAMMMM

And btw we went to see The Boy and The Heron, this movie is a pure work of art 110% reccomend it

Best day ever 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

#i LOVE all ghibli movies sm #my mom wanted to see what the mangas I bought were and I was so terrified she would read the description 💀💀 #but luckily she just saw the cover and went like okay #it was so so fun my bf is lame and stupid and weird sometimes but I feel like hes one of the few ppl I cam say literally anything to #Im very reserved and quiet irl so its really nice having someone like this #studio ghibli #bsd #bungou stray dogs #the boy and the heron #date #random stuff #movie date #yea :D

The desire to own media I like in a physical form for no reason other than I want to.

#CDs of albums i like would be incredible bc then i can look at them and hold them and kiss them and show them to people and tell them #how much i love them #I'd also need a CD player tho #now i want one #same thing with vinyle tbh #also also dvds of movies and TV shows #Making Fiends DVD 💖💖 #recently have wanted to own all the Studio Ghibli movies bc i don't have HBO max and i need to watch them yes #also owning them would be cool #I've rambled #i need a talking tag pffft #edenshellhole

the same people who will sing the praises of studio ghibli animation lost their minds over steven universe which is high-larious.

#i love studio ghibli but are we pretending 'the cat returns' isnt a furry movie?? #it was my fave btw until i saw 'whisper of the heart' #once you SEE all the weird shit in ~wholesome~ studio ghibli movies you cannot unsee it #miyazaki is weird!!! it's fine. #animation animation animation animation

sigh. so i saw the video on Ocean Waves's "accidental" queer narrative. and it's such a frustrating watch bc it fundamentally, and WILLFULLY, misunderstands the text so much that it truly baffles me. it is like they didn't even understand the fucking point of the movie. it's actually weirdly basically a lot of the same criticism that (500) Days of Summer got actually, because people can't fucking understand the point of the coming-of-age narratives that both the movies are presenting, and that they are not unbiased narrations, they both have a very specific point of view and it's for a reason!!!

#james talks #james watches stuff #ocean waves #studio ghibli #(500) days of summer #500 days of summer #life is strange #life is strange spoilers #i'd never say a queer reading of a text is inherently wrong but this comes pretty fucking close bc it misses the point of the text so hard #like the queer subtext is a FEATURE not a bug. #it HAS to be subtext for the narrative to work at all. the subtext is WHY it matters. #it's the yearning for more without ever being able to ask for it. #it's not wanting to risk further damage and enjoying the moments you can still make and have. #it's getting to enjoy their company and breathing in the melancholy of the moment that brings you a stunning amount of peace and joy. #some of you are fucking stupid #and it frustrates me bc you'd never see these same people arguing for the characters to get together at the end— #of a movie like In The Mood For Love. like them not getting together is THE POINT. IT IS NOT A MISTAKE. #YOU JUST HAVE AWFUL MEDIA LITERACY #honestly idek how you could listen to that score and not immediately get it #like i said in my letterboxd review: some of you have a deeply concerning lack of empathy & an inability to see outside your own perspectiv #also the LiS comment at the end is kinda a joke but the posts i keep getting recommended on this app have actually convinced me some of— #you LiS fans are actually delusional to the point of considering fanon as canon to justify your love of the story— #or just ignoring the actual canon to make up shit as Truth about the game. every post about Warren is a nightmare. #none of you (from the posts i've seen) have actually demonstrated any ability to critically analyze the text #even the YouTuber analyses of the game separate the game from the context of you as a player playing the game in their thoughts— #as if the game plays itself in a vacuum. 'there's no consequences for saving Alyssa'. yes there are. it's your time. #it's your emotional investment. it's you choosing to care about someone and going out of your way to improve their life. #it's video games as a medium of empathy. #ik ludocriticism and ludologic discourse isn't as mature as other mediums but my god some of you are so dense. #analyzing an interactive medium without the context of the player fundamentally showcases how unqualified you are to talk about games.

Okay, so I saw 'The Boy and the Heron' yesterday, and while I can't fault it in terms of production, animation, music, and acting, did anyone else find the story really anti-climactic??

#it's a ghibli movie so i feel bad for saying it #and i enjoyed it but just felt the ending was too convoluted and deep for it all to make sense if you know what i mean #my friend who i went to see it with was bored towards the end which wasn't a good sign #don't get me wrong i love so much about it #but the story fell a bit flat imo #the boy and the heron #studio ghibli #anime #hayao miyazaki #movies

Ok so the thing about Ghibli movies and choosing a favorite is that My Neighbor Totoro was the first one I saw and my favorite for such a long time, and I had such a great love for Catbus and the love of those sisters, but Kiki’s Delivery Service is about finding your purpose and discovering joy and love on your own which hits so hard for me these days, but Ponyo is so lovable and the concept of the ocean having a rebirth after humans have polluted it so horribly is perfect, but then again Spirited Away is terrifically unique and every single scene and character strikes you in a new but fitting way, and watching Chihiro discover herself is amazing, oh but Howl’s Moving Castle has a wonderful score and a fascinating magic system, BUT also Castle in the Sky and its themes of honoring your heritage and fighting for it are so wonderful, and the story is told with wonderful, lovable characters, but there is no match for the environmental allegory that is Princess Mononoke, unless of course you think about Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind--

#i said my fave was kiki in that other post but then i started thinking about spirited away which has been growing on me #and then i thought about how much i love totoro #and i haven't seen princess mononoke in a while and ponyo was the first one i saw in theaters... #studio ghibli #gray speaks #mmm i'm gonna tag all these movies so. hold onto ur hats #my neighbor totoro #Kiki's Delivery Service #ponyo on the cliff by the sea #spirited away #howl's moving castle #princess mononoke #i'm not gonna tag nausicaa it feels disingenuous #castle in the sky
