Howl's Moving Castle is partially chaotic because it replaces the main conflict of the original book by Diana Wynne Jones with the entire war plot, which isn't at all present in the original. iirc it's a critique of the Iraq War, showing how meaningless, brutal violence disrupts this idyllic fantastical love story.

@goosegirl941 Ай бұрын

I wish they had made it more like the book, it’s such a fun story

@madeofmarble8514 Ай бұрын

but also the war plot is much much less complex than all the stuff in the book

@Raikaiko Ай бұрын

Yeah it's a beautiful film but a horrible adaptation and the movies plot and themes are hampered by trying to fit them into the shape of a source media that really didn't support them (tho like you could do an anti war narrative in ingary but not like that) I really wish Miyazaki had just chosen to do something inspired by instead of adapted from. The book also just plays so heavily on western fairytale canon in a way that I don't think Miyazaki tried to respect

@thayet Ай бұрын

to be fair, a true adaption to the books would be a trilogy or a 6-hour movie (the audio book is 8h), there is a ton of inner monologues and characters being in the know way before the pov knows, things happening in secret etc. The ghibli version is a perfect compromise for me, but I love both the movie and the book.

@rhymeswithmoose228 Ай бұрын

@@thayet Yeah, absolutely this. Ultimately Miyazaki was trying to do something very different, and I would say the message of the movie is enhanced by seeing how it diverges so heavily from the source material.

@nihren2406 Ай бұрын

Top 4 for me personally are Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, and Nausicaa. There's just something magical and beautiful about all of them. I have a soft spot for The Wind Rises. It's very much the tale of a genius who wants to pursue his passion, but the government gets in the way and he's forced to do something he both does and does not want to do. He wants to build planes, that's his dream, his passion, and he wants to build them better than anyone. Government contracts keep the business afloat are an unavoidable evil of many professions. The vibe I got was that he doesn't like that his planes are intended for military use, and mourns that many of them will never return for various reasons. He got to achieve his dream of making great planes, the Zero is his legacy, but it came at the cost of his innocence. Even the man he idolized was forced to take his beautiful civilian planes and make machines of war because the money keeps the lights on and allows him to pursue his real dream of non-military craft. I recall the movie being very polarizing in Japan because they try to sort of bury a lot of bad things they did during WWII or things they perceive to be bad, and Jiro Horikoshi, as the inventor of the infamous Zero, was turned into one of these social pariahs. Even his children wanted nothing to do with his legacy.

By sheer coincidence I rewatched it like a week ago for the first time since it came out; it's not nearly as bad as I remembered. It's beautifully animated and I _really_ relate to the main character. The twist in the story is definitely strange, but the pacing is what really keeps it from flying; the first 2/3rds are really crisp and engaging and then the last 1/3rd becomes disjointed and a little expository. It's still definitely worth a watch and doesn't deserve to be in the same tier as Earthsea :/

@@weedlechu Many of the Ghibli films are truly amazing! I think Totoro being primarily for a children’s audience makes it special for the many adults that do watch it. Like Miyazaki said, he had two audiences in mind for this film. First children, so they can learn to enjoy and play outside in nature, and second adults, so they can reminisce their childhood memories and lives. What makes a lot of older audiences love Totoro, is that it gets them to escape from their frustrating and tiresome lives, where they can feel free and joyful; a feeling that they haven’t felt in very long time.

As a big fan of Nausicaa, I am fully aware that a lot of my enjoyment comes from wearing a pair of thick nostalgia goggles. Also, an immense improvement over Warriors of the Wind which I'd originally watched.

Only Yesterday is incredible: definitely a gem, and feels distinctly apart from all the Miyazaki directed stuff in the Ghibli catalog. One of my favorite Ghibli movies, it grew on me; I found myself not able to stop thinking about it after the credits.

As somebody who never watched any anime at all before last year, watching all the Ghibli movies (plus Lupin) was honestly one of the coolest experiences of my life. The only one I disliked at all was Howl’s Moving Castle because I couldn’t really follow it. I did skip out on Earthsea, Earwig and Ocean Waves though since they have the worst ratings, but I will definitely watch them soon. My three personal favorites are Nausicäa (brilliant ending with a musical nod to one of my favorite composers), When Marnie Was There (the only Ghibli film to make me cry), and Porco Rosso. You can probably already tell what kind of person I am from those picks.

@astelevey Ай бұрын

@@graffitisamurai i dont think you're supposed to agree with the protagonist. the message of the film doesnt support him. there's a lot of parallels to oppenheimer in both his story and character here: where theres this grey morality in what he did, being so blinded by the love of creating planes/science, and the need to fight for your country (as you gotta see it from their perspectives of the time) that the future consequences elude them until after they happened. with jiro, there probably was never going to be another moment in his life to create planes, and if he didnt here, then someone wouldve instead. its tragic in many ways that he had to have been born in this time period, neither being painted as a hero or a villain, just a victim of war and obsession, which to me makes the film very sad and poignant. aircraft will sadly always be used for violence, yet why should that deter people from their genuinely aspirations and dreams with designing them, even if they dont want them to be used that way? people were also struggling naturally to the war, so taking this path was also a better way financially. ive read somewhere before that the film is a reflection on miyazaki's own life and mistakes, which makes it all the more depressing. beautiful film, but one where first viewing doesnt do it justice (i found it boring on first watch)

The Tale Of Princess Kaguya 24. Castle In The Sky 25. Ocean Waves As you can see, I have an interesting taste. My palette in terms of Studio Ghibli is rather mixed. I don't know which theme in Ghibli films I like more. Because fantasy is correlated throughout a majority of the films (even the ones I don't like) and realistic themes are also the same way. I guess you can say I like what I like. Anyways, here's a link to the ranked list on Letterboxd that not only has my ranking of the films but also contains a couple that aren't in this comment list.
