The writer and actor’s strikes prevented basically anything from being promoted properly and so most big films have been pushed to later release dates.
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.
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.
Oh I love the movie and feel bad for the kids. I was just poking fun at the comment since iirc grave was one of the first if not first by miyazaki and technically since we know how it’s gonna end right off the back non of events matter.
My fiancee actually got hit extra hard because she missed the part with the bones in the fruit tin. She was under the impression the sister might still make it… She was hopeful that the doc might be able to help the girl.
