Great Film overall
Good movie but grossly overrated
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
In this film, director Hayao Miyazaki overly focused on the design of the romantic plot. In addition, the expression of the anti-war theme is not entirely based on the script, and it is somewhat self-talking. Therefore, although the movie is full of various visual wonders, due to the relatively immature handling of drama conflicts, all this lacks a platform that can truly release emotions. In the end, this story full of narrative ambition and various complex metaphors ended up in a random private reconciliation of several major characters. Compared with Miyazaki's best work, what the film lacks is really deep thinking and brave expression.
Another favorite from Miyazaki I love this film just as much as Spirited Away this was also recommended to me by my best friend (girlfriend) during middle school I thank her for showing me to the world of Studio Ghibli I love this film but it's a little bit behind Spirited Away by one point overall a 10.1 outta 10.2 it's a masterpiece of an adaptation of Diana Wynne Jones' 1986 novel I love this film and I love Ghibli the characters are wonderful the story is wonderful everything in this film is amazing except for (Warning Ahead Minor Spoiler)the end of the Sulieman scene
All ways end up watching this movie when I find it on it strange and fun.
Excellent movie. words are beyond express the feeling I have. Good wishes for the creator.
