There's a link in my description to download my full written essay which expands on further detail. Including what the Grey Heron as a man-bird is based on. A section that's in my essay, and I made a slide for it, but for some reason I hadn't recorded that particular paragraph.
@@alfredosauce1 Thank you so much! Though I'm not saying my interpretations were in the heads of the people who made it, but it's nice to open up a discussion on such a beautiful movie that has somewhat divided opinion.
IM SO SEATED . i've been looking for in depth analysis of this movie bc at first three viewings it felt incomplete and i couldn't figure out if it was intentional or circumstantial due to the process of making the movie and the passing of takahata
hey man, great analysis, on the who might be the model for the Uncle, Look up Jean Sibelius poster. in a new Miyazaki documentary you can see Miyazaki have this poster right next to him. jean Sibelius is a Finnish compoer. Miyazaki literally copy 1-1 the appearance of Sibelius in this poster. (wanted to post imgur link but cant because youtube will prob auto delete my message as a scam link)
@@acolus3413 I've just googled it. I see what you mean! Thanks for the reference. The uncle looks a little thinner, but there are couple of photos that look the exact reference for the look he was going for. Sibelius used to be my favourite composer, but I'm past my Romantic period so I've moved on. Always nice to hear Sibelius mentioned

Just gave this a listen, fantastic insights. Will re-watch it a few more times to absorb the breadth of it
