Random Stranger posted:Imagine if there was a girl in the film who was a slacker and went around saying, "What's the point? The US has a dozen times our industrial base and we're constantly losing." I guess there's a reason that not too many propaganda films have a Rhett Butler character.

As great a film as it is, it seems like a strange choice for a Father's Day film, beyond the whole "hey, Dad's like western's, right?"

The truly curious thing about the Earthsea animation was that Ghibli came up with their own original (so to speak) story, when the second book, The Tombs of Atuin, could have so easily been adapted to fit the Ghibi style. For those of you who haven't read it, The Tombs of Atuin is about a young girl who was taken from her family to be raised as the high priestess of an old religion. Between growing up isolated, learning to survive political intrigue, and handling religious functions, she slowly comes to suspect that the nameless gods that dwell in the Tombs are far more real than even her fellow priestesses believe. One day, a foreign wizard appears with the temerity to brave the lightless tombs and rob the gods, and she has to choose between fully adopting the identity of high priestess and sacrificing the intruder or risking her life to escape the society that has imprisoned her.
It basically is a Ghibli film already! Schwarzwald fucked around with this message at 16:24 on Jul 14, 2016 |

Maxwell Lord posted:Honestly it's a film that took a couple of viewings to hit me too. Granted part of that was at first I didn't get why everyone was casually accepting all these forest ghosts and is this some weird Japanese theology, and the answer to that is "sorta". The family's a bit more credulous than one IRL would be but that's part of the tone. "Forest ghost" is a good description of Totoro, in that he and the other spirits are seemingly conjured up by the kids in response to their mother being in the hospital and their father having commitments that keeps him from always making time for him. Totoro is also a father of two younger spirits, but he not only has time for them, but he can comfort the human kids as well. The whole village pitches in to help take care of the kids, and as Totoro is a part of the village, naturally Totoro helps out too.
