    I always think Totoro is belittled a bit because people claim it's too simple and straightforward. But when you start looking at the film as an allegory (Totoro filling in as a parent surrogate figure for the absent, bed-ridden mother), it actually becomes pretty genius.

    • @cinemoni
      @cinemoni  Před rokem +101

If you ever watch it again, you can pick up on so many cool details like how Mei (the youngest sister) says at one point smth like "I only sleep in the same bed as Mom because Mom is special" and then that night she falls asleep on top of Totoro, drawing the parallel between the Mom and Totoro!

    Oh god, Whisper of the Heart really captures the confusion of finding your direction in adolescence, while also exploring a sweet love story between two characters who inspire each other. It's not dramatic, world-changing, heart-jumping out of your chest love either, just soft, gentle, honest connection. Totally underrated film. I swell with emotion during Shizuku and Seiji's rendition of "Country Roads", and am still not even totally sure why!

Honestly the opening scene when Olivia Newton-John's Country Roads, plays and it just breaks out with the nighttime city lights is what makes me start bawling, ridiculous as it sounds😂

    In my opinion, Howl’s moving castle is the best Studio Ghibli movie. I would even go as far as saying it’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. I loved it so much that I forced my mom and grandpa to watch it (I never force them to watch things) even though they aren’t into movies with magic.This movie really moved me (see what I did there). Everything about it was just breathtaking to me. It was also the first Studio Ghibli movie I watched.

    I would put the Grave of the Fireflies on perfection. Because it transmits human emotions and compassion so professionally, animation is perfect and has a lot of scenes of greenery that are soothing. In my opinion, Howl’s also deserves perfection, because even though it is so complicated to understand and relate each scene, especially for kids, overall you can watch in in one sitting without questioning and enjoying the strange story, as we used to listen to the stories we did not get in childhood with amazement. Ponyo, to my mind is not that good. The story is expectable and would satisfy toddlers to watch. Animation is not that good either, has no nostalgic taste and no pastel colors, too bright as it would please more the toddlers. Lastly, the cat returns is also very entertaining and story-like movie that every time I watch it feels so nostalgic and makes me forget the life problems and to just get involved in a hearty, easygoing anime. I would rather put it on the category of ‘it is really good’. ❤

    I recently watched The Wind Rises and honestly was not prepared for how much it hit me and how amazing it actually was. I love Studio Ghibli, I've never had a series of films make me feel so much nostalgia so easily. I don't know if i could ever truly pick a favorite, but at least my top 5 would have to be Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Castle In The Sky, and Kiki's Delivery Service. Even some of those can change just because I love them all for different reasons.

    There are so many Studio Ghibli films I really love for a variety of reasons. I have strong nostalgia for My Neighbour Totoro and Spirited Away since I watched both of them as a kid; Castle in the Sky is a fun fast-paced adventure with two absolutely adorable leads; Kiki's Delivery Service and Whisper of the Heart are sweet coming-of-age stories that get better with every viewing; Howl's Moving Castle is a fun and mature love story with loads of interesting characters; The Tale of the Princess Kaguya is a uniquely beautiful experience that deals with some really impactful and emotional ideas.
    But undoubtedly Princess Mononoke is my absolute favourite Ghibli film - the messages are profound and mature, all the characters are well-developed and nuanced, the action is exciting and brutal, the animation is excellent, and the music is just...indescribable. In fact, I'd go as far as to say it's one of my all-time favourite films, animated or otherwise

    I am really happy studio ghibli still gets so much love and recognition worldwide and for good reason. They made amazing films with great messages and has well written characters, that deserve to be seen by many generations.
    It tackles issues such as war, environmentalism, capitalism, greed, without making it bland for even the younger audiences.
    They are films for all ages and they deserve their recognition.

    I think my top Ghibli movies would be Nausicaa, Spirited Away, Totoro, Mononoke, Whisper of the Heart, and then tied are Howl's Moving Castle/Castle in the sky, and From up on Poppy Hill.
    I grew up with Ghibli movies instead of Disney, and every one I've seen holds a special place in my heart.
    It was absolutely insane to me to hear someone talk about these movies without a lot of background in the folktales, lore, and messaging from Japanese culture that makes these movies so unbelievably important. I never thought about how different and less enjoyable it would be to watch for other cultures. It was really eye-opening.
    My mother still won't let us all watch grave of the fireflies together, we've had the disc unopened for over 5 years, it's just too much. My great-grandmother was the oldest sister in a family torm apart by WWII, she had to care for her siblings and work on a silk farm in Japan. I never knew her, but she passed last year. (dw I'm fine lol not asking for sympathy) But I know my mom was close to her.

    5 stars: from up on poppy hill (romance drama?!), castle in the sky (beautiful), howls moving castle (beautiful yet funny), spirited away (strange yet intriguing world), grave of the fireflies (touching), Kiki's delivery service (makes me feel at home)
    4 stars: my neighbor Totoro (relaxing), when Marnie was there (plot twisty and different), the cat returns (disturbing in a good way), Nausicaa (great message), princess kaguya (beautiful), whisper of the heart (nostalgic), the secret world of arriety (different from others)
    3 stars: (all these good movies just not ones I found super interesting) ponyo, porco Rosso, the wind rises, my neighbor the yamadas, only yesterday, princess mononoke
    2 stars: pom poko (I don't wanna see those moving around)
    1star: tales of earthsea, ocean waves (nah)

    I agree with a lot of this - I love the Cat Returns though and to me From Up on Poppy Hill, makes me cry every time and gives me a feeling of summer more than any other movie out there, same with Whisper of the Heart! My Favourite is still Nauscaä - it´s in my top 3 movies of all time.
    I believe Earthsea is complicated because it´s a book adaptation of a very complicated world, and I always get goosebumps when the girl with the brun mark sings :)

Physics and teaching was my all time love but due to better career options I chose finance and later realized it is not for me...... This movie build my thoughts of quitting my Finance major much stronger.... Now I am proud of the decision which I took 8 years back..

    A-Whisper Of The Heart, Castle In The Sky
    B-The Secret World Of Arrietty, My Neighbor Totoro, Howl’s Moving Castle
    I have a lot of other movies to watch but I really love Studio Ghibli so much so far and I am glad to know that they exist. Ghibli > Disney. Also because of this channel, Ghibli ended getting me to love other anime movies.

    Same opinion with Ocean Waves! I've seen it hyped up a bit online so watched it and was just so disappointed. The love story makes no sense. U could probably watch it silent and it would be better coz it's pretty aesthetic.

    i feel that when marnie was there is so much more than fine i guess. i agree almost entirely with the ranking except for when marnie was there. it is my favourite ghibli movie so maybe i am bias but when looked into it covers depression, friendship and the struggle of growing up as well as having gorgeous slice of life feel and mystery. i find no fault with this movie and i think it defiantly deserves more recognition and another watch at the same time completely respecting your opinion we are all different i just love ghibli too much.
