Nonsense Ramblings:
⚠️WARNING⚠️ this is gonna be a long one. I got memories to release here. If you don't care about my life scroll down to the part that says The Actual Review:
Everyone has those deep, dark, hidden memories. We even have memes about it. Princess Mononoke was one of these memories for me until I was about 18. Occasionally I'd just be strolling on down the street and then I'd see a picture on my phone or something…
Sometimes this movie makes me feel really small and sometimes it makes me think I can smile at the oncoming world no matter how big it is. Today it made me small.

The only dig against the movie I have is the guessing game was a touch too easy. I'm not great at seeing seeing ahead in thriller type movies, especially a dead on who-dunnit. Somehow in this one I knew what was coming…
I've been itching to rewatch this since seeing it on its release in Korea. Interestingly, my opinion of it was almost the exact same, despite not being able to understand more than a tenth of the dialogue on my first viewing. This time around the humor hit a whole lot more (as you could imagine, actually being able to understand and all) and the tension bit harder. Everything stepped up a notch, except for the ending. Final sequence is the…
