Omoide no Marnie (2014)
An exercise in queerbaiting...
I was glad to discover I wasn't the only one who felt led to believe that Anna and Marnie would wind up being together at the end. It was a little disappointing being queerbaited for that long and then seeing where the story went. I was hoping for something new and surprising like queer representation but I know it's not likely and that there are other places to seek that representation. Ghibli is my favorite studio and houses so many great talents. I hope one day to see some queer representation from some of them. It's still a good movie and worth watching I just must admit to being disappointed with the ending.
Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (2001)
Beautiful
Every time I watch it I notice something new. I suggest watching it once with an open mind and as little background or input as possible. The second time look into the symbolism surrounding the themes and characters and then rewatch it. It becomes a whole different film. Enjoy!
Omohide poro poro (1991)
So boring
This movie was hard to sit through. Nothing really happens but flavorless flashbacks. The most boring Ghibli movie I've ever seen and my least favorite by far.
