  It was nice to watch in the cinema, but hot damn did it make no sense to me at all.

    It made perfect sense!

    Stuff happened and then it was implied at the end none of it mattered.

    Very pretty though.

      I just watched grave of the fireflies. Same thing applies.

    That 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.

      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.

      It had an odd flow to it, like entire pieces of the story were cut.

  When the #1 movie only makes $13 million, that’s a huge problem. Too cold? Thanksgiving hangover?

    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.

  This movie made me wonder if Japanese people do not care when birds shit on them. So much bird shit in this movie, and nobody batted an eye.

    I laughed every time I saw that. So much bird shit
