@skeletizzle IM DYING
I WATCHED THIS MOVIE FOR THE FIRST TIME THE OTHER DAY AND I THOUGHT OF THIS VIDEO
when the depression hits but u still gotta get shit done
beginning and end
THEY WERE MISSING FOR FUCKING YEARS OMG, THIS ALWAYS UPSETS ME SO MUCH
I always see the discussion that many days, months, years have passed during this story.
I present to you a different idea.
There’s several themes behind Spirited Away: Capitalism’s effect on Japan, Environmental issues, and notably, Chihiro’s coming of age story.
From what I know, the idea of time passing differently in spirit worlds, is more based on western stories of the fae.
But something more common in Japanese folklore is spirit trickery/deception. Or more accurately. What you see, isn’t always what’s actually there. Chihiro starts this story as a young child, before her coming-of-age arc, that more or less forces her to become ‘an adult’. More accurately. The challenges she faces makes her mature as a person. What’s the most common thing in folklore? Children see what’s actually there.
rewatched Whisper of the Heart for the hundredth time
been feeling like my head’s going from 0 to 100 to 0 mph all the time (school! things! I work at a jazz radio station now! what!) but this movie always puts me in a good place
u know the part in spirited away where the bitch is legging it down those steep ass stairs at top speed and screaming at the top of her lungs??? mood.
i just remembered that she also smashes into a wall face first once she reaches the bottom. ultra mood.
looking through the nausicaa artbook
Hayao Miyazaki on coming out of retirement to make a new film
the most heinous anime villain of all time is the girl in kiki’s delivery service who rejects her grandmothers lovingly baked fish pie.
what she says: im fine
what she means: in spirited away (2001), chihiro is told to go to the top floor to meet yubaba to get a job, but the radish spirit gets on the elevator with her, indicating with one pointed finger that he wants to go up too. when chihiro gets to the top floor, the radish spirit is still there!!!!! where is he going!!!! she got off at the top floor!!! does the elevtor go to the roof?? whats he gonna do up there??? go have a smoke break??? wheres my spinoff movie about the adventures of the radish spirit i gotta know what this guys story is. this has haunted me for over ten years
There’s something about Studio Ghibli’s Water physics that I love
While it is a liquid, it tends to behave more gelatinously
It’s so beautiful while almost being awkward *bloop*
Gravity? Surface tension? No? Well, just let me hug her!!
Not even seeming to make skin or cloth wet
It looks so satisfyingly bouncy
Tell me what you guys think and what’s your fav movie thing about Ghibli
I remember hearing/seeing a post where Ghibli’s water always -looks- like how water -feels-.
Like when you’re crying it just feels like
And when it’s raining it’s like
Like Ghibli has that perfect look of water where yeah, it’s not exactly -realistic- but they capture the perfect feeling.
I love this and now I need to find a collection of gifs oh Ghibli hair. I love when it does the poof thing. None of this is realistic, but it is wonderfully emotive. Emotions usually feel more talk than physics anyways.
Ghibli movies tend to exude an almost dreamlike feeling or a feeling like nostalgia– like, the general mood of the films feel like summer in the country when the sun is shining and it’s quiet and there’s a breeze going, or the smell of fresh cookies from the oven or the way a freshly-laundered quilt feels when it’s wrapped around you by someone you love.
They just FEEL good. Even the sad movies still give off that same feeling. It’s almost tangible, but still feels like a fond memory.
It’s really hard to describe kfjhsfjk.
LMFAO
Spirited Away (2001) dir. Hayao Miyazaki
Anime News Network reported information uncovered on Japanese TV special "Owaranai Hito Miyazaki Hayao.” Although Miyazaki retired after what was supposed to be his final film—The Wind Rises (2013)—he now has plans to return to feature film yet again.
Miyazaki had recently been working on a 3D animated short for the Ghibli Museum, but the NHK special revealed that he’s had a feature film pitch in the back of his mind since August.
Currently, Miyazaki has already started the storyboard process for the film and suggested a possible 2019 release should it be officially picked up.
Miyazaki: this is my last film this time i swear
Miyazaki on his death bed: wait wait no i cant die yet i have another film to make
