Isao Takahata is my favorite Ghibli director and I do love Miyazaki's stuff also. I state that "Grave of the Fireflies" is the most important animated film and one of the most important films overall, ever made. Like many, I have watched it only once, but the images and story are burned into my mind. Why only once? If you have seen it you will know.

I have never seen this movie but I LOVE the musical.

Thanks for this, I loved this film

Hi Matthew, I love your videos! Keep giving us such amazing content. Watching you from France, keep it up!

Only Yesterday commits the worst sin a movie can make: it is boring.

What I love about Only Yesterday is that it could easily have been a live movie that wouldn't have needed a particularly large budget but instead we get one of the most beautifully animated movies of all time! It's the attention to the backdrops and small details that makes it and all the Studio Ghibli movies so special!

Great video essay! Heavily disagree with the idea that the lack of evidence isn’t the point of the thing, the subjectivity of truth is pretty central to the movie, but still a great analysis

Tár on honorable mentions 😭😭😭😔😔😔

My faves not on this list that you may enjoy! Evil Does Not Exist, the zone of interest, la Chimera, fallen leaves, all of us strangers, monster (koreeda), about dry grasses

Subscribed! You are close to 1K🎉

Not all the girls in the comments trying to defend Haemi, 😂😂😂 Maybe she did have a deeper meaning but I saw her as seeking social status

Where can i watch it ?

Why ins't this guy working? What is wrong with American film making.

14:51 I think this is the only place I disagree with you. The chemistry between them seem quite typical for some more realistic Japanese films I've seen. It even reminds me of the end scene from Whisper of the Heart, when Seiji proposes to Shizuku out of the blue. After all, it's not an American cookie cutter rom-com. :)

I'm glad that a lot of people agreed with this movie as one of their best works. I can't pin point one thing that works for me. But this one of the most beautiful stories, movies and accompanying emotions that come with it. Even now every year or two later, I re-watch this movie, especially when I'm feeling low. It even beats my lonesome and tourist infested Japanese holidays.

Adrienne Shelly.....taken way too soon ....Unfortunately she was murdered in Nov. 2006.

About the pineapple scene, i am quite sure they ate it unripe 😂 thats why they didn’t like it and said it was sour. You can tell also from the color of the pineapple. She later sees some ripe pineapples and the color is more yellowish. This movie is so full of details. ☺️☺️

The ending scene somehow makes me really sad

some angles of Taeko did make her look older like 37 but other character creases like Toshios was really well handled.

This film and MAID are so inspiring! We all have an Earl.

This was great, thank you

daisy ridley sucks

Disney studios rape and destroy everything.....modern Disney I am talking about

I loved this movie. Certainly Dafoe's performance which seems spontaneous constantly. And the odea that he did not kill himself removes the obsession with tragedy that so many biopics have (Billie Holiday, Judy Garland..)

The ending of this movie is so awesome.Making me got goose bumps

what does Disney have against menstruation?? also, if you watch this Ghibli film, pleeeease watch with the original Japanese dubbing, the voice acting is phenomenal

My top 3 and my least favorite were easy to rank but the rest were so hard lol. However, here’s my ranking 😂 1. There Will Be Blood 2. Punch Drunk Love 3. Phantom Thread 4. The Master 5. Magnolia 6. Boogie Nights 7. Inherent Vice 8. Licorice Pizza 9. Hard Eight

Thanks for this, it was the exact gem that I was searcing for. Great content, thanks❤

Sorry but why everyone who talk about 2000s era movies always bring up Juno? That movie is so overrated. Waitress is better in every aspect. I guess everyone who gushed over Juno actually watch it in their teen and think "she's me" or "So relatable" no you don't

I think Jong Seo's father story added more to the Jong Seo's fate, they share the same DNA and probably same violent act. The knife collection, his father cases, and burning mother's clothes story might be the clue that ben being murdered really did happen.

❤

i liked the realistic facial features...the smiles lines on their faces

I like how memories looks like. It feels like cloudy dreams. 🥰

I hate romcoms , i only watched this because ive always liked Andy Griffith . Now it's one of my all-time favorites. Every character was believable. Excellent performances across the board

I adore this movie

This movie is the best ever. I saw it in the theatres originally. So beautiful. Congratulations to Adrienne , wherever that Aangel is now.

I’ve just finished watching Alice in the cities and loved it. I really valued your analysis. Recently watched Wim Wender’s Perfect Days. Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on that.

I watched this movie as a child for the first time and it's still one of my favorites. I really hope more people find this video and check out this film.

Just watched this beautiful walk through nostalgia and longing for a simpler life. While we wish we could take the time to pause and recall our memories that define us in our older years, we rush off to the next day. Great analysis <3

Not a forgotten title for sure. And we all know Isao Takahata

I think I can appreciate the shear artistry and choices that went into this film, and I like your takes in this video, but I just have to say, I personally hated the cinematography. It just wasn't a movie I enjoyed watching at all. The only scene that really gripped me was when Gauguin told Van Gogh he was leaving. That's exactly what a panic attack feels like.

Loved your analysis of the film and found the Wenders quotes very interesting. My only advice is to speak just a tiny bit more slowly, there is so much information packed into each minute of the video that at some points it was hard to keep my concentration and catch everything at first. Also, your voice is very soothing! Hope to find more analysis like this one in your channel 😄

I've seen a couple people talk about the movie and how they don't really see the chemistry between the couple but in my opinion I felt it, I don't know if its just me but when they where talking together every scene I felt like if flowed so well and naturally.

Ending sequence of this movie is pure gold. ❤

Great job! Thank you so much! The Swimmer is a lovely film, if you ever have a chance to review!

as a child who is in 6th grade, i hated this movie so much. The children was supposed to be "5th grade" but definetely does not act like 5th graders. I hate it whenever there is a movie where the main focus is children, as that movie will be directed by adults and the director has no idea how children acts, so it just results in them creating characters that does not act like a human being would, much less children. Even the best of the directors, the best they can do is make the children act like humans, but most of the time far far too young.

I always thought of it as Boring the movie

Its always fun doing these rankings with a director that doesn't really make bad films. With how good all these films are, I think the rankings say more about the person making the ranking than the comparative quality of the films, and that's more fun imo.

Bold take, Cotton

This movie just touched me. It was so real and authentic, which is something many films lack these days, with so many mainstream movies being big budget ones filled with action and endless drama. But this movie was a simple movie about regular people and their struggles. Keri Russell was heartbreakingly good in her role; she brought a sweet but saucy attitude to Jenna. I just love it, and I always end it with many tears. What a tragedy that Adrienne Shelley didn't get to see videos like this, because her film so perfect.
