One of my all time favorite movies. It's pretty deep. I DEFINITELY recommend you all see it. However, I warn you; it is 2 hours n 15 minutes or so. Make sure you've got some time.

It was a very good movie, but it lost it for me with the stupid ballsy ending.
If I stopped watching before the last 10 minutes, I probably would have enjoyed it a lot more.
But personally, I liked Castle in the Sky a lot more.

I hate that reccuring theme in japanese stories:
"I LOVE YOU! NOW WE'LL NEVER SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN!!!"
"I LOVE YOU! NOW WE'LL NEVER SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN!!!"

Well,

- they will see each other again though. He's only living in the town that's surrounded by forest. And she lives in the forest...

Still. Even the whole climax was stupid.
- Spoiler:
- HEY! THIS THING HAS 2 SECONDS TILL IT DIES, AND WE COULD KEEP THE IMMORTAL HEAD THING, EVEN IF WE GIVE THE HEAD BACK, IT STILL DIES, WHY DON'T WE JUST GIVE IT BACK AS OPPOSED TO WAITING THE TWO SECONDS?!"

That was the resolution, not the climax.
Editted spoiler
- Spoiler:
- Climax was the when the boars got involved and started the war, me thinks. Also, they would have died had they not given it. They were surrounded by death goo. Also, the point was for them to appease the nature gods. It was the right thing to do; you can't just kill a god and take it's head.

Look at my edit. The resolution was meant to send a message. The entire movie was a message.

I mean, immortality would probably suck ass, but I'm just looking from an efficiency standpoint.

Ah, but they aren't immortal! They die eventually. Just after a loooooong time...

Well, even better. I'd take that deal. Provided I wouldn't age to the point where I wouldn't be able to do anything.

Howl's Moving Castle is also a really good work by the same person.

Oh, I remember this movie. I've only seen it once, but it was great.
I think it's done by the same person...
Ooh, yeah. That was good. I also liked Kiki's delivery service when I was a kid.Abel wrote:Howl's Moving Castle is also a really good work by the same person.

All the Studio Ghibli movies are amazing. We have a collection, but I've no idea where it is

Here are some of my impressions of the movie.
WARNING:I make fun of it SPOILERS
(3.5 out of 5)
WARNING:
- Spoiler:
- The movie appears to be set in Japan near the end of the era of the samurai or whatever it's called. This is because there are gunpowder weapons in it and that's what did them in. Hooray I know something
I cannot remember any names ever, including the names of everyone in the movie. It is a wonder I can remember my own name. What was it again
So, for the purposes of this review, I will be referring to the main character as "The Dude".
So The Dude comes riding up on his magic reindeer.
Ha
Hahahaha
Note: Although it is neither a reindeer nor magical, I will be calling it that because oh my god it looks really funny
His village is under attack bythe evil forces of Ganonsome kind of spider made out of worms which is actually a zombie boar I think. That's cool.
By the way there are incredibly powerful demons and things all over the place and we're just supposed to accept this as fact. Well okay that's not too much of a problem really
The worm-spider-boar-demon tries to attack villagers, but even though it can run at incredible speeds, the villagers are able to outrun it on foot and even have enough time to help one of them when she trips stereotypically and lies on the ground for a while before being helped up. Okay
Hey The Dude maybe you shouldn't try to fight it on your own, given that if it touches you, you die of cancer. Oh too late
So it touches him and he gets arm cancer.
Also at one point The Dude has to get his reindeer to move by shooting an arrow at it.
Hello, earth to Rudolph
You might not have noticed but there is a massive thundering cloud of pestilence just over there you might want to move or something
SO ITS A BIG MOSTER AND EVERYONE'S SCREWED AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
Oh okay The Dude shot it in the eye and it died.
Yep it was a Zelda boss
But of course now The Dude has arm cancer.
So he goes to get TEH ORACELS advice.
TEH ORACEL cheerfully tells The Dude that he's going to die. Oh wow that's awful
But all is not lost! She tells him that he cannot oppose fate, but he CAN rise to meet it or something!!
But he doesn't die in the end. Isn't that opposing his fate
No time for questions MOVING ON
He's going to go over to the area the demon came from, because there might be a cure over there or something.
The elders say that it's against their laws to watch him while he leaves, I guess to avoid okay I have no idea.
So The Dude leaves, wearing what appears to be an entire haystack. Well that's one way to keep warm I guess
He is stopped by his little sister, who apparently doesn't care about stupid village laws. Maybe they only apply to old people
His sister gives him a shiny dagger. It's a good thing they said what it was because it looked like a shiny rock to me.
With that, he leaves, never to return. None of these people appear ever again. Wait WHAT
He rides off on his sleigh and is attacked by samurai because I forget.
I was looking at the chatbox for some of the time so I was not completely focused for some parts, like this one. My bad
So The Dude takes his bow and arrow and shoots a guy's arms off, and they sail through the air in a marvelous close-up. Wait WHAT
Then he shoots some people's heads off. What the fuck
It turns out his infected arm makes him the best fighter ever. Thanks, cancer!
He ends up at a village or something where he runs into an ugly fat dude.
I'll call him..."The Fat".
I completely missed what happened here though. Something about gold or something
They travel together for a bit and run away from gold theives.
Even though The Dude could probably twist their heads off in less than three seconds with his Power Cancer
I guess it's not a good idea to encourage the cancer, though. So that's okay.
They split up at some point. I forget why, of course.
That's good though because The Fat ends up being evil. Who'd have guessed
Then we see a big group of peoples.
I guess they're hunting monsters because one of them says something along those lines
Two wolves run up and get shot by some totally sweet exploding blue firework cannon launchers. Awesome
The Lady is here, right? I think she is
I think she's the one who asks aloud where the giant wolf mother is. Well guess what The Lady, you just summoned her.
A big wolf runs up and beats the shit out of the entire group. Told you
But some main character or other shoots the wolf with a fire rocket! And she bursts into flames!! And falls off a cliff!!!
But apparently that won't kill her because she's a god. Well then what the hell was the point
Why WERE they up there anyway? To annoy her?
...neow I'm bored
Yeah so after that there was a bunch of stuff but I don't feel like going over it right now okay? Maybe later.
I put too much effort into things like this
Note: I can't remember any of the character's names, several important parts of the plot, or even the name of the actual movie, but I remember that the explosions from the cannons used in the scene where the wolf mother first appears are blue.
im the best at priorities
