#the mountains don’t need to be conquered the energy plant isn’t an altruistic miracle

[sharkieboi]

finally finished watching Strange World and im in love, everyone should see this movie

#shhh sharkie #i had to do it in parts cause Brain but i did finish it today and i fucking loved it #it’s so gorgeously animated and the story is incredible!! #omg the moment when Ethan is running off from Searcher and he pulls Ethan back into the skiff #and the mist just kinda coalesces around them #because the environment isn’t important it’s the conversation that’s happening #UGH YES SO MANY VERY CINEMATIC MOMENTS I LOVE IT #also there was a part of me that clocked the reveal in a good way #it was very good foreshadowing especially if you’re already familiar with the shape forms #i was like that looks like x cell or y body process #(but i also have degrees in biology so i had a leg up with that prior knowledge) #ANYWAY I LOVED IT #also the metaphor with the card game #that there is no good or bad side it’s just making a successful civilization. #the mountains don’t need to be conquered the energy plant isn’t an altruistic miracle #neither of them are maliciously bad dads they both just let their own goals overshadow their family members #UGH OKAY ANYWAY COULD TALK FOR A WHILE AND ITS DEFINITELY A MOVIE I NEED TO FORCE MY FAMILY TO WATCH #like when we had an argument with my parents (mom specifically) #and then the next family movie night we had we watched Onward #which is about family and how important family is because you never know how long you have with them #and petty bs isn’t worth it and you should appreciate the time you have together #or at least be mindful of that time and try not to let things go unsaid #etc etc etc anyway mom cried but she still didn’t apologize cause when would she ever it’s fine
