How much of a loser are you and the people calling it a gay bait yall are weird pdf files

Is not just the show sucks, its also That 90s Show fanbase they're salty af. I bet if they saw this video they go all ape shit lol.

Another interesting parallel is that while Nausicaä becoming their messiah represents salvation, Paul's path is one of unfathomable damnation.

The characters are just completely and utterly bland. There’s nothing about them that stands out

You already sound like another boring kid with no personality😂

Love both

Too bad you didn't mention the impact of who I'd argue to be the most important character and mother-figure in the movie. Younger Kiriko. She's the one who truly taught Mahito how to live. She showed him that no matter how flawed the result of someone's efforts are, their resolve is still worthy of respect on its own. This is why Mahito apologizes to the granny dolls after witnessing Natsuko save the blob people (even if she killed some in the process) which is arguably why he finally acknowledges Natsuko as his mother.

I'm glad this critique is more focused on the poorly integrated exposition than accusing it of queer-baiting. What matters is how Anna's relationship with Marnie Jr develops her character, but I think it actually reveals a bigger issue which is that the central story lacks meaningful drama. Anna's forgiveness actually doesn't work because she has no reason to resent Marnie Jr since they were seperated metaphysically. It had more to do with unfortunate circumstances than an innate flaw in Marnie Jr's character which isn't an effective way to express how being a caring person is what makes you worthy of love. That's why I'm going to pull up my trump card and say that the better story about self-worth is actually Marnie's entire storyline, but unfortunately, it was reduced to a means to conveniently strengthen Anna's resolve to live a better life than challenge it. I wouldn't say it's manipulative (this implies that what they're doing is potentially harmful which I think is wrong. It's just misguided priorities because they're obciously trying to spread a life affirming message), because it doesn't dismiss everything that came before, even if the reveal was contrived, but it's thematically appropriate and served its purpose narratively despite the conclusion to Anna's arc already being pretty hopeful on its own. Maybe the arc should've been centered around decoding it instead. Also, make a video about the Evangelion Rebuild movies. I beg you.

Ponyo movie made me cry.😢😭 Waaah😭😭😭

I read somewhere that Miyazaki made this movie after having finished the manga Nausicaä and the Valley of the Winds because he wanted to tell the story again. He finished the manga in 1994 and this movie came out in 1997. He started the manga in 1982, though, and while both it and Princess Mononoke shares the same theme about enviromentalism, the manga is from the viewpoint of a younger (and perhaps a little more naive) Miyazaki. As he was making the manga and the 80s gave way to the 90s, he started to feel that the ideas and statements in it didn't really line up anymore with the personal beliefs he had aquired. He was commited to the story so he followed it through but immediately after finishing it he started making Princess Mononoke. It basically tells the same story but is a little more nuanced in it's execution. It tries to show, like you say, that the people destroying the environment are just normal people. War doesn't have to be the main reason the environment gets torn apart and the solution is not as easy as "Stop fighting and give love a chance!" Lady Eboshi, despite being the main villain, is trying to do something good, at least from her POV. She is taking care of the outcasts and the fallen in her village but in order to do so she sacrifices the environment and killing the spirits of the forrest. Miyazaki shows us that there is no black and white, only grey, and if we are going to stop this we have to work together, not constantly vilify each other, before it's too late.

I don't think Himi knows mahito is her son until she is brought to the grand uncle by the parakeets. That would explain why she is so emotional when she sees mahito again and hugs him while tearing up

Frank Herbert also wrote about how Dune is meant to be a warning against blind faith in charismatic leaders, as he says "Dune was aimed at this whole idea of the infallible leader because my view of history says that mistakes made by a leader (or made in a leader's name) are amplified by the numbers who follow without question." Paul's rise amongst the Fremen leads to a Jihad that kills billions in the known universe.

This movie is 11/10 for me btw love the vid

Nausicaa is like if Dune was set in Holland.

I love your pov

I love how you explained everything with passion in just 10 minutes 😂 been not liking this movie for while without knowing the real reason and I guess it was as you said, good story ruined

1 was ok, 2 was bearable but still made me wanna kill myself, each one after I kept asking myself wtf am I doing this with my life and why do I keep doing this to myself. Just now I realize I watched long enough to become a masochist.

Thank you that was so helpful

Dune is not my cup of tea. Prefer Miyazaki and his sophisticated storytelling and artistry.

The problem is NETFLIX, they pretend to be correct, and That 70's Show was the opposite of those "actual values", I only remember Leia and Jay because theyre Eric/Donna and Jackie/Kelso kids...but they don´t have a great essence, Leia could be a empowered geek woman (a female Sheldon) and Jay and double hollow man...totally opposites. The chinese gay is another Regina George gay cliché that doesn´t make me laugh (and I`m gay). Anooother problem is that in 70`s show we see the problems between father and son...here the father doesn´t exist...Eric saying "I`m going to kick your ass" was the only time that I laugh in this show. The comedy has died, when you can´t make a parody of make a joke of everything...you shouldn`t touch a series that take the life of rebel kids and turn it into a Disney Channel crappy sitcom

The whole thing was queerbaiting :( I was really disappointed with their excuse being a dead relative, and I think they could’ve done so much more with the story. I think you’re right about ending it after the “I love you” scene. Falling in love with a ghost.

It's my favorite movie. I don't think there was a "twist" at all. after watching it repeatedly, she was obviously a ghost. plus remember this was a book first.

Honestly it would’ve been so much better if it ended where you said it should’ve, but I feel like the film would’ve received a lot of backlash from homophobes saying it’s a queer movie that’s gonna “brainwash their kids”

This movie wishes so hard it was a Silent Voice but it fails so horribly that even I could come with a better plot to display loneliness. It should have been a queer telling about Anna meeting a fellow queer person, who didn't get to experience unconditional love for the way she was, unlike Anna.

I agree the fist 2 acts are a terrific exploration mental health and illness at a young age, there's a real understanding of what it feels like to experience that as a child. However I really believe there's value in the ending. I don't think it's artificial sadness but an honest look at how mental illness impacts those we love despite our best efforts, how older beliefs and stigma negatively impact recovery. She was cut off in a sanatorium while she tried to process her grief and ended up hurting her own child the same way she was hurt, something she never wished for which is made clear in her interactions with Anna. But learning how her grandmother kept trying to do better, how she gave Anna all the love she could in the time she had left, matters. Anna till this point believed she was just a bother to her biological family, someone not worth looking after, which makes it possible for her to think her foster mother's love is artificial. So learning Marnie choose her, wanted her and loved her, starts to heal some of that pain and she's able to accept that her foster family does love her. There is value in this film, and it's worth a watch. Mental illness is not romantic. It hurts you and those you love, and this film doesn't shy away from that or baby it's audience with a false idea that it'll all just magically be okay. What it does do is show that there's always hope. Marnie got to have joy and love again, and she took the chance to show love to her grandchild, and we get to see that that mattered. sorry for long comment, I have so many feels about this film as there's such a lack of sensitive explorations of mental health. Thanks for discussing this film! I loved your description of Anna's journey in the first 2 acts and and the clip editing was excellent :)

I did not mind that twist at all and it really touched my heart. It's literally why i love that movie so much. I had a very strong connection to my grandma growing up and i realized way before that so called third act that Marnie is her Grandmother. The movie even hit harder when i watched it a second time with my boyfriend who is a bit of a more neutral person emotion wise but even he got it. He noticed it way before i did watching it the first time. They do hit you with a LOT in the end, like you mentioned that "fake sadness" but i think it does its purpose. It shows that someone can try to do the right thing but still fuck up, that there's more to the people who you think are mean. I cried in the middle but not in the end. I didn't feel sad but honestly hopeful. I do wonder if that movie has only that effect on people who are a bit older though. It's not about "getting it" with intellect but with life experience and the emotions that come with it. So i personally would still absolutely recommend watching that movie...but maybe not so much to someone who isn't in their mid 20s yet.

I was so confused when they were in the silo and it all went crashing down from there.

Well tbf this movie was based off a book 🤷🏽‍♂️

Lmao, never watched this one. But I’ll talk your word for it compañero.

Damn, Anna got queer baited by her grandma

I didn't like the twist at the end that much either but for me it was because their relationship seemed more romantic than platonic. I figured they just kept to book's ending. Which is true except that in the book Anna sent her daughter away because of WW2 and she married her cousin. Both changes are understandable lol

Actually… you are right to call Nausicaä “the Anti Dune”… or the other way, with F. H. Dune “the Anti Nausicaä” The hero, being the princess… the villain being the Duke. The princess being this messiah who is meant to heal and save the planet. The Duke, whose son will become the … “the god emperor” Forget about pacifism and other nonsensical fallacies… to have peace one must prepare for war, that is what princess Nausicaä did, and what makes her confident enough to be as brave as she was and to see her obvious enemies as actually friends and possible allies: from other kingdoms, to the Ohms as well, “the enemies of all” Paul and later Leto are everything opposite to Nausicaä… everything they do is with violence because they are weak in every level: they seek revenge, power… a fake form of justice, authoritarian to be mild. Never strong, always weak… and every act product of those. Miyazaki made an homage to Herbert, and at the same time criticize his work and showed he could do better with his original Manga and later the exceptional movie. This hasn’t be done before, a story made as a response to another. Not this way at least

The new season is great

It had very few nostalgic references and it seemed hypersexualized.

I really appreciate this comparison! Nausicaa is one of my favorite movies and TH-cam knows... so your video was recommended. I wouldn't say I'm a Dune fan... and now, I feel like I can understand why, because of your description! It's the inherent violence. It's like.... NO redemption. Which, is maybe how the world works?? But some part of me thinks the reason why the world continues to work that way is BECAUSE of the idolization of violence, and the normalizing of death. Movies and films certainly take a role in that. Miyazaki's movies are a breath of fresh air because he knows how to create a riveting story without it needing to be filled with ass, explosions and violence.

Kitty and red was the only good part we need a real director who was the director straight trash 90s kids are what other country’s think America is we loved violence love and we was self aware and raised our selfs

How cast and directed the kids was dumb they killed the show 90’s kids was tough always outside where more mature then they pretray they turned it into a Disney nickolodian terrieble laughs situations 90s kid was way more rated R plus had real fun they made them more like the 2000 kids it’s stupid

Just watched season 2. Same feeling... 😢

They blaaand asf

I "watched" or should I say tolerated this movie last night (and not even all the way through) after I told my wife, who had never seen the Swayze Roadhouse what a fun concept this was. Was I embarrassed. Luckily it was free to watch so I guess I didn't waste any money. Gyllenhaal is such a talented actor and this was not a testament to his acting career. He had big shoes to fill with Swayze. He did NOT deliver. His acting was meh (which is a surprise). The plot...come on some Tiki looking bar in the keys was The Roadhouse?? WRONG! The Roadhouse is a dive bar. The whole Tiki vibe reminded me that I was on vacation. To add the bad ass biker type bar to that establishment was the first BIG mistake. The bad guy was a fool. He looked like some hipster type dude who already shows his stupidity in the first scene we meet him by getting a straight razor shave on a boat in choppy water. Complete fool off the bat. Not a psycho....a fool. It REALLY went downhill with McGregor. That man couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. I couldn't understand him half the time. Luckily my wife and I fell asleep halfway in. Going to have to pull up Swayze, Sam Elliot to redeem myself. Sorry Patrick. They did you wrong.

fix your title, you may get more views. ick

I recently saw this for the first time. I can't believe I have never seen this film before. For as much anime I saw in the mid 90s, this was one that eluded me. If I would have seen this as a kid, I know this would have been an instant classic. The music was another thing that I enjoyed far more than i thought I would.
