60 of 174 · most liked firstMy favorite moviegoing experience of 2023 was seeing Miyazaki's The Boy and the Heron. a row ahead of us, about an hour and a half into the film, a little boy asked his dad, "What's happening?" and his dad said, with utter sincerity: "I don't know"

neutral · AI labelView post →While Hayao Miyazaki just won an Oscar for Best animated film for The Boy and the Heron, today marks the 40th anniversary of the release of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, based on his own manga. A fabulous environmental fable that led to the creation of Ghibli Studios.
neutral · AI labelView post →i sincerely hope goro miyazaki never watches The Boy and the Heron, because if my harsh and emotionally unavailable father made a movie about how he had failed me as a parent and that movie was, like, one of the most beautiful films ever made, I think I would go insane

neutral · AI labelView post →I’m watching Miyazaki’s 2023 film “The Boy and the Heron” is such a melancholy kind of beautiful. Serene and elegiac. I see why it won an Oscar.
positive · AI labelView post →I watched The Boy and the Beast! The movie was 1h 59m long. This movie was awesome! There was never a dull moment, it was a full adventure! There were also a wide range of emotions on display throughout the movie, which tied really well into the central theme! This was a really fun movie to watch!
positive · AI labelView post →Though I was very struck by The Boy And The Heron. Probably the cleverest and most meaningful use of time travel I've seen in a film outside of maybe Interstellar. You can't change your fate, but what if you could reframe the way you relate to it? More heavy lifting than most Ghibli films but lovely
positive · AI labelView post →I reviewed THE BOY AND THE HERON, Miyazaki's final and most devastating film. A moving, playful, and gracious meditation on death, legacy, and grief. www.patreon.com/posts/942916...

neutral · AI labelView post →The absolute hilarity of having this complaint about the Boy and the Heron, a movie about blunt, uncreative consumers with throttling demands for rules and boundaries destroying magical worlds of whimsy.
positive · AI labelView post →I watched The Boy and the Heron last night. Really beautiful movie and another masterpiece from Miyazaki. Highly recommend!
positive · AI labelView post →yeah you might have heard about the Holocaust, but I watched the movie The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
neutral · AI labelView post →The Boy and The Heron may possibly be my favorite Studio Ghibli film. If this ends up being Hayao Miyazaki’s swan song before his time is up until he leaves this world, then what a high note to leave on. Thank you everyone for joining me on my Studio Ghibli marathon. Thank you Studio Ghibli.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Boy and the Heron is an utterly strange film even for Ghibli, but one thing I absolutely love about it is the unexpected cosmic horror element. it almost feels at times like it's brushing the edges of a Junji Ito story and it's great

neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatched The Boy and the Heron. I don't know if this is going to be Miyazaki's final film or not, but it is a damn good one to retire on. It feels like a celebration of his career and imagination.
positive · AI labelView post →I really enjoyed Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. It’s a charmingly lovely, moving film with surprising depth. Having recently revisited the first 3 films, I appreciated all of the cameos and Easter eggs. It’s the best film since the 2001 original.
