It made perfect sense!
Stuff happened and then it was implied at the end none of it mattered.
Very pretty though.
I just watched grave of the fireflies. Same thing applies.
That has me worried. I haven't seen it yet, but this is the third comment I've seen about it being confusing or moving too fast.
Ghibli has taken a steady course since around Spirited Away or Howl's Moving Castle to be weird for the sake of it. I like surreal elements in media, but it seems like they've been used as a crutch for good storytelling. I actually haven't watched anything by them since Ponyo, and it sounds like I won't enjoy this one either.
It had an odd flow to it, like entire pieces of the story were cut.
Felt like they heard about chekhov's gun and took it as a challenge. Every thing that comes up that you feel like will be important to the resolution of the movie simply isn't. Any point that isn't resolved in the scence it's introduced probably won't be resolved.
So if pieces were cut I would love to know cause it was a strange experience.
Hollywood has been known to do that to anime. I wonder if there are any deleted scenes
This movie made me wonder if Japanese people do not care when birds shit on them. So much bird shit in this movie, and nobody batted an eye.
I laughed every time I saw that. So much bird shit
