Such a cool document of a band that is about to become the biggest act on the planet and have its artistic mojo crystallize into its most vital form.

on a pure story level it's easily one of the best parables in miyazaki's filmography. plus, it will cut to these insane landscape shots and just linger and confront you with the immense beauty of nature. goated.

FIRMLY GRASP IT

really good, except for the title. reminds me of that tragedy...

Sebula's podracer engine sounds (SLOWED + REVERB) HQ 60hz (10-hour loop)

TV at my parents' place had motion smoothing turned on at first... most distressing 5 minutes in recent memory.

To the surprise of absolutely no one.

Visually arresting, great English dub performances as per usual for Ghibli, and Joe Hisaishi still has The Juice. Didn't resonate with me as much as Miyazaki's best works have, but still another solid entry in one of the great cinematographies of all time.

HO-HO-HO

grotesque

A room full of people, young and old, transfixed by a 50-foot-tall image of the prototypical quirked up white boy goated with the sauce... doesn't get better than that.
