It wasn't the movie itself, but Miyazaki in some promotional interviews where he said that japan should recognize crime wars and ask for forgiveness to korea and china.
>japan should recognize crime wars and ask for forgiveness
frick that, it's a slippery slope. first you ask for forgiveness, then the victim starts asking for money/reparations, then they demand you open your country to the brown masses so that you can prove you're enlightened and not xenophobic, and it never ends because the victim will never be satisfied.
see Germany, which still gives billions a year to israel. or the USA where nogs are asking for billions in reparations.
never apologize
I learned that this is true just by watching court TV. Even a legitimate victim will get greedy and try to play it up and get more than their worth, nor will they ever drop it or really consider it forgiven. You literally can’t afford to apologize on this strategic scale.
It's funny seeing people here act like he's some based nationalist because he hates Hollywood/America, guy is super liberal. Self described communist/pacifist.

the spoilers don't lead me to believe this at all. isn't the book this is adapted on pretty realistic and grounded? why even adapt it if you're just going to add a bunch of stupid shit like giant budgies and unborn babbies.
Sounds like unfiltered kino. Modern Japanese audiences don’t deserve content like this, all they do is gobble up Disney slop and rote identical substanceless slice-of-life anime.
Yes. The guy disguised as a blue heron is constantly getting vored and regurgitated by his disguise. He'll look like a normal bird, but then he'll start talking and from inside the beak you'll see his teeth and big ugly nose. Eventually his entire head comes out of the bird, and when he wants to disguise himself the bird just swallows his head.
The budgies, on the other hand, just walk around with knives and swords and there are two scenes where they're about to butcher Mahito.
Boy in postwar has lost her mother in a fire(air raid?) them his father marries his late wife´s sister and she gets pregnant, kid is all angsty and shit, even hits his head with a rock to not go to school, then one day theres this misterious, guy in a bird costume who tells him his mother is alive and waiting for him, he ends up in an esoteric but not too trippy adventure in a fantasy land
I live in nipland and saw it today. It was alright but they fricked yo because we also got Oppenheimer in advanced and they’re screening right next to each other, at a very sentimental and quiet part of the Ghibli movie you could hear the nuclear bomb going off and the screams of Japanese school children being melted alive from the theater room next door which really soured the mood.
yes. but on a serious note he meant to ingrain this movie into kids minds and those things go a long way. seems to me he really hates the grown ups around him
3.8 now
>https://filmarks.com/movies/107171
It's (not) over.
What's the matter with it? Japanese audiences finally had enough of the same old same old every time?
Not enough fighting, boobs and tentacles.
>tentacles
This isn't the 90s anymore grandpa
don't remind me, zoomtard.
the world was a better place before you spilled out of your mom's crater sized pussy
>if you arent as old as me then you are a zoomer
I was born in the 90s you assuming delirious moron
It's Saturday during the summer, peak moronation hours. Don't let it get to you.
>i was born in the 90s
thanks for proving my point /z/aggot
Holy shit that post time is bussin' frfr
cry more
Well, Mononoke hime have tentacles.
This.
why are zoomers so dumb
>incoherent/messy 2nd half
>Collage of every previous work abstractly done
oh this is just miyazaki sucking himself off huh. that sucks man. guess he's finally went full senile.
idk someone on Cinemaphile said it's not satisfying and has mediocre execution despite amazing visuals.
Did he think he could make EoE or something? That sounds like ego wank while EoE is just misery porn. He didn't get it.
Some audiences say he was trying to put every idea/theme into this rushingly.
>and then nature was destroyed because of Americans and an atomic bomb dropped and it was bad, but THEN a young girl found purpose and maturity through what had transpired and also saved nature and stopped war from ever happening using time travel
I would unironically enjoy something that schizophrenic
>incoherent/messy 2nd half
why are nips so bad at endings?
the frick does it even look like
it looks like a normal Studio Ghibli film. It's pretty much the same as Spirited Away, so I'm surprised people don't like it.
Should have let Opphenheimer to play instead
I undesratnd why they didn't waste any money promoting it.
He must have pissed off the japanese elites class
no he's just a washed up old man. not very surprising this ended up mediocre.
>every single individual failure is an elite conspiracy
What causes this brainrot?
In that anon's defense, Miyazaki's last movie "The Wind Rises" rustled the jimmies of some Japanese Nationalists last time.
>In that anon's defense, Miyazaki's last movie "The Wind Rises" rustled the jimmies of some Japanese Nationalists last time.

>Japan should recognize war crimes
Correct
>should apologize to China and Korea
Frick that guy
>japan should recognize crime wars and ask for forgiveness
frick that, it's a slippery slope. first you ask for forgiveness, then the victim starts asking for money/reparations, then they demand you open your country to the brown masses so that you can prove you're enlightened and not xenophobic, and it never ends because the victim will never be satisfied.

You just described the situation (except replace the brown masses with asiatics asking for reparations).
It's funny seeing people here act like he's some based nationalist because he hates Hollywood/America, guy is super liberal. Self described communist/pacifist.
he said using a greentext strawman
sorry you aren’t smart enough to gaslight people in this thread
better luck next time dopey

Do we see vore?

So it exposes the israelites. No wonder it got review bombed

God, no spoiler please.
I wait for my cinema to host the pure kino.
Apologize.
I'm sorry, Takahata-sama, I always knew you were the talented one.
pom poko is kino.
This is the proper way to do movies.
Hope other directors are taking notes.
This version was better
He's been making his "last ever movie" for like 20 years now, he made 10 final films
he said he wanted to make this for his grandkid or some stupid shit.
>hates anime
>does nothing but create anime
He's been bad for so long now. Like Ponyo? Come on now, Miyazaki has been a hack for a long time.
Better to quit while you're ahead.
And then ruin your reputation anyway by doing a bunch of shitty live action movies
A man's gotta work. He can't just live off GITS and Patlabor 2 forever.
All his films are dogshit. He's a hack
>so butthurt about Kimi no na Wa he comes back from retirement
>ends his career with an absolute dogshit movie
Makotobros, we can’t stop winning
> Butthurt about Kimi no na Wa
really?
the creative power within him has transferred onto another person...
this was a movie? I was wondering why I kept seeing this bird thing
yeah, it's a great poster imo.
Nice pokémon
i like the human eye
miyazaki is still visually creatively genius in imo
I love the controversy about this movie.
Can't wait to see it on cinema.
what controversy? that its not that good?
Some gays are still trying to process it and there are multiple viewing to decipier it.
Also, they think no advertisement is pretentious.
So in this thread people are shitting on a film they haven't seen, or even seen a trailer or a SCREENSHOT from.
well the plot sounds like ass. i don't know if visuals alone can save it.
You should have a nice day. No one will miss you.
>getting this upset over the idea that an old man who has been washed up for almost two decades made another flop
lol
just reiterating/discussing the Japanese audience reviews
>https://filmarks.com/movies/107171
no trailer?
Not even a pamphlet.
it's a film intentionally made for literal kindergarteners
so average film viewer?
yes. but on a serious note he meant to ingrain this movie into kids minds and those things go a long way. seems to me he really hates the grown ups around him
I read he is apologizing to his son in some scenes.
Good. That sashimi hiroshima geezer deserves to get knocked down a peg.
