Dude. This is bomb. Well done

I get what you were trying to say in this video but there are times when your message is misconveyed . These stories are two different stories with two different messages. That share similar settings and conflicts. There are times in Dune the movie and the book where Paul tries to avoid violence. He eventually chooses to walk off in the desert and monologues about his disgust at visions of a jihad. There cliched action scenes to grab the audiences attention at times in Dune yes but there also parts of extended dialogue. There are parts in the book and movie where Paul tried to avoid violence. He laments the thought of a jihad. I think both are trying to get us to be weary of leaders and our own actions.

Two of miyazaki's works remain as some of my favorite movies of all time, "Nausicaä" and "From up on poppy hill" and I don't know why, but those two have stuck with me for a majority of my young life, as I've only recently reached adulthood, and I think those two films really shaped my young adult life, they'll probably remain my two favourites for the rest of my life

Nice video overall! I really appreciate what you said about making this video for yourself and thought your parallel between _Whisper of the Heart_ and _Kiki_ was insightful. But how can you possibly say "the presentation is more bland and generic" is beyond me.

Celestine Summit

Very underrated!! This is great!

I saw this film last year, and even though I did really like the film, a legit forgot everything about Marnie's backstory.

Best Ghibli film not directed by Miyazaki. Another banger video wey!

I just finished the Nausicaä manga yesterday, it's amazing to see the complete story and all the characters and ideas that were going on there. It sometimes felt longer that it should've been, but then it surprised me a few times. It would be nice if they ever made a series or a video game covering all the stuff that happens (but that won't happen lol).

Nice message in this video! ☺️ I subbed!

Moved my heart. Amazing video:)

I needed this rn :]

Very well said. Such a hard-hitting and relatable film.

Great Editing!

...why cant i find MY inspiration though..? i rewatched all Ghibli movies in an attempt to find it... but failed. i noticed more on this rewatch but... not the desire.. i want to be an artist and even animator someday... i cant get myself to even start today.. it kinda hurts in a way..

How much of a loser are you and the people calling it a gay bait yall are weird pdf files

Is not just the show sucks, its also That 90s Show fanbase they're salty af. I bet if they saw this video they go all ape shit lol.

Another interesting parallel is that while Nausicaä becoming their messiah represents salvation, Paul's path is one of unfathomable damnation.

The characters are just completely and utterly bland. There’s nothing about them that stands out

You already sound like another boring kid with no personality😂

Love both

Too bad you didn't mention the impact of who I'd argue to be the most important character and mother-figure in the movie. Younger Kiriko. She's the one who truly taught Mahito how to live. She showed him that no matter how flawed the result of someone's efforts are, their resolve is still worthy of respect on its own. This is why Mahito apologizes to the granny dolls after witnessing Himi save the blob people (even if she killed some in the process) which is arguably why he finally acknowledges Natsuko as his mother.

I'm glad this critique is more focused on the poorly integrated exposition than accusing it of queer-baiting. What matters is how Anna's relationship with Marnie Jr develops her character, but I think it actually reveals a bigger issue which is that the central story lacks meaningful drama. Anna's forgiveness actually doesn't work because she has no reason to resent Marnie Jr since they were seperated metaphysically. It had more to do with unfortunate circumstances than an innate flaw in Marnie Jr's character which isn't an effective way to express how being a caring person is what makes you worthy of love. That's why I'm going to pull up my trump card and say that the better story about self-worth is actually Marnie's entire storyline, but unfortunately, it was reduced to a means to conveniently strengthen Anna's resolve to live a better life than challenge it. I wouldn't say it's manipulative (this implies that what they're doing is potentially harmful which I think is wrong. It's just misguided priorities because they're obciously trying to spread a life affirming message), because it doesn't dismiss everything that came before, even if the reveal was contrived. It's thematically appropriate and served its purpose narratively despite the conclusion to Anna's arc already being pretty hopeful on its own. Maybe the arc should've been centered around decoding it instead. Also, make a video about the Evangelion Rebuild movies. I beg you.

Ponyo movie made me cry.😢😭 Waaah😭😭😭

I read somewhere that Miyazaki made this movie after having finished the manga Nausicaä and the Valley of the Winds because he wanted to tell the story again. He finished the manga in 1994 and this movie came out in 1997. He started the manga in 1982, though, and while both it and Princess Mononoke shares the same theme about enviromentalism, the manga is from the viewpoint of a younger (and perhaps a little more naive) Miyazaki. As he was making the manga and the 80s gave way to the 90s, he started to feel that the ideas and statements in it didn't really line up anymore with the personal beliefs he had aquired. He was commited to the story so he followed it through but immediately after finishing it he started making Princess Mononoke. It basically tells the same story but is a little more nuanced in it's execution. It tries to show, like you say, that the people destroying the environment are just normal people. War doesn't have to be the main reason the environment gets torn apart and the solution is not as easy as "Stop fighting and give love a chance!" Lady Eboshi, despite being the main villain, is trying to do something good, at least from her POV. She is taking care of the outcasts and the fallen in her village but in order to do so she sacrifices the environment and killing the spirits of the forrest. Miyazaki shows us that there is no black and white, only grey, and if we are going to stop this we have to work together, not constantly vilify each other, before it's too late.

I don't think Himi knows mahito is her son until she is brought to the grand uncle by the parakeets. That would explain why she is so emotional when she sees mahito again and hugs him while tearing up

Frank Herbert also wrote about how Dune is meant to be a warning against blind faith in charismatic leaders, as he says "Dune was aimed at this whole idea of the infallible leader because my view of history says that mistakes made by a leader (or made in a leader's name) are amplified by the numbers who follow without question." Paul's rise amongst the Fremen leads to a Jihad that kills billions in the known universe.

This movie is 11/10 for me btw love the vid

Nausicaa is like if Dune was set in Holland.

I love your pov

I love how you explained everything with passion in just 10 minutes 😂 been not liking this movie for while without knowing the real reason and I guess it was as you said, good story ruined

1 was ok, 2 was bearable but still made me wanna kill myself, each one after I kept asking myself wtf am I doing this with my life and why do I keep doing this to myself. Just now I realize I watched long enough to become a masochist.

Thank you that was so helpful

Dune is not my cup of tea. Prefer Miyazaki and his sophisticated storytelling and artistry.

The problem is NETFLIX, they pretend to be correct, and That 70's Show was the opposite of those "actual values", I only remember Leia and Jay because theyre Eric/Donna and Jackie/Kelso kids...but they don´t have a great essence, Leia could be a empowered geek woman (a female Sheldon) and Jay and double hollow man...totally opposites. The chinese gay is another Regina George gay cliché that doesn´t make me laugh (and I`m gay). Anooother problem is that in 70`s show we see the problems between father and son...here the father doesn´t exist...Eric saying "I`m going to kick your ass" was the only time that I laugh in this show. The comedy has died, when you can´t make a parody of make a joke of everything...you shouldn`t touch a series that take the life of rebel kids and turn it into a Disney Channel crappy sitcom

The whole thing was queerbaiting :( I was really disappointed with their excuse being a dead relative, and I think they could’ve done so much more with the story. I think you’re right about ending it after the “I love you” scene. Falling in love with a ghost.

It's my favorite movie. I don't think there was a "twist" at all. after watching it repeatedly, she was obviously a ghost. plus remember this was a book first.

Honestly it would’ve been so much better if it ended where you said it should’ve, but I feel like the film would’ve received a lot of backlash from homophobes saying it’s a queer movie that’s gonna “brainwash their kids”

This movie wishes so hard it was a Silent Voice but it fails so horribly that even I could come with a better plot to display loneliness. It should have been a queer telling about Anna meeting a fellow queer person, who didn't get to experience unconditional love for the way she was, unlike Anna.

I agree the fist 2 acts are a terrific exploration mental health and illness at a young age, there's a real understanding of what it feels like to experience that as a child. However I really believe there's value in the ending. I don't think it's artificial sadness but an honest look at how mental illness impacts those we love despite our best efforts, how older beliefs and stigma negatively impact recovery. She was cut off in a sanatorium while she tried to process her grief and ended up hurting her own child the same way she was hurt, something she never wished for which is made clear in her interactions with Anna. But learning how her grandmother kept trying to do better, how she gave Anna all the love she could in the time she had left, matters. Anna till this point believed she was just a bother to her biological family, someone not worth looking after, which makes it possible for her to think her foster mother's love is artificial. So learning Marnie choose her, wanted her and loved her, starts to heal some of that pain and she's able to accept that her foster family does love her. There is value in this film, and it's worth a watch. Mental illness is not romantic. It hurts you and those you love, and this film doesn't shy away from that or baby it's audience with a false idea that it'll all just magically be okay. What it does do is show that there's always hope. Marnie got to have joy and love again, and she took the chance to show love to her grandchild, and we get to see that that mattered. sorry for long comment, I have so many feels about this film as there's such a lack of sensitive explorations of mental health. Thanks for discussing this film! I loved your description of Anna's journey in the first 2 acts and and the clip editing was excellent :)

I did not mind that twist at all and it really touched my heart. It's literally why i love that movie so much. I had a very strong connection to my grandma growing up and i realized way before that so called third act that Marnie is her Grandmother. The movie even hit harder when i watched it a second time with my boyfriend who is a bit of a more neutral person emotion wise but even he got it. He noticed it way before i did watching it the first time. They do hit you with a LOT in the end, like you mentioned that "fake sadness" but i think it does its purpose. It shows that someone can try to do the right thing but still fuck up, that there's more to the people who you think are mean. I cried in the middle but not in the end. I didn't feel sad but honestly hopeful. I do wonder if that movie has only that effect on people who are a bit older though. It's not about "getting it" with intellect but with life experience and the emotions that come with it. So i personally would still absolutely recommend watching that movie...but maybe not so much to someone who isn't in their mid 20s yet.

I was so confused when they were in the silo and it all went crashing down from there.

Well tbf this movie was based off a book 🤷🏽‍♂️

Lmao, never watched this one. But I’ll talk your word for it compañero.

Damn, Anna got queer baited by her grandma

I didn't like the twist at the end that much either but for me it was because their relationship seemed more romantic than platonic. I figured they just kept to book's ending. Which is true except that in the book Anna sent her daughter away because of WW2 and she married her cousin. Both changes are understandable lol
