It had an odd flow to it, like entire pieces of the story were cut.
Comment on Hayao Miyazaki tops North American box office for first time with ‘The Boy and the Heron
danekrae@lemmy.world 11 months agoThat has me worried. I haven’t seen it yet, but this is the third comment I’ve seen about it being confusing or moving too fast.

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.

Hollywood has been known to do that to anime. I wonder if there are any deleted scenes

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.
