I was actually kind of disappointed by Past Lives, I think because I was expecting something a bit different. But I agree the performances were great and I enjoyed hearing and understanding bits of Korean!
COVID protests I can understand if it’s people trying to get masks back in healthcare, etc., but actually protesting the virus itself? How does that work? Or am I completely misunderstanding, haha. 🤔😅
My favourite Ghibli is still Spirited Away! Everyone loves Howl’s Moving Castle but I couldn’t get into it and I think I might have even ended up abandoning it. 😅 I liked The Boy and the Heron, but when I went to the cinema to see it, the only showing left was a late afternoon one, so I kind of nodded off a bit here and there during the movie. 😅 I prefer morning showings, or early afternoon!
Oh that's interesting! In what ways was Past Lives different than your expectations?
I think the protest depicted were just like 'no more Covid' which was really dumb but there were of course people also protesting against masks too 🙄
Spirited Away is one of the Ghibli movies I'm really looking forward to the most! It's such an important one, I can't believe I still haven't seen it 🙈 I am excited to figure out which ones I enjoy and what my Ghibli tastes are like 😁 I'm very much a nighttime moviegoer but there is a certain magic about going to early screenings, especially if there aren't many people around!
A very good question… LOL. I do remember explaining to my mum and she nodded like she understood, but I can’t quite remember how I articulated it, haha. I think I was mostly a bit confused by how they drifted apart initially, or like I thought there was going to be a bit more to their relationship in the past 🤔
I am very much not surprised that you’re a nighttime movie person. 😋
Haha that's okay! I always forget my exact opinions about movies unless I write them down right after watching 😄 I can see that though, their relationship in the past could have been elaborated more for sure. That probably would have added more depth!
i loved this post so much!! i was especially happy to see all the movie writeups, i have so much free time now to watch movies but i'm totally lacking the drive and the energy to try and discover what is worth watching, so this is a perfect list of recommendations for me ❤️ your reviews make me want to watch most of them 😊😊 and i'm glad you're finally getting into ghibli films too! the boy and the heron was my least favorite of all, but i want to give it another chance just remembering how beautiful some of the scenes were. can't wait to discuss all the other ones!
Thank you so much for commenting and I'm even happier that you enjoyed these recommendations 🥹 Omg I hope you watch these movies and we can discuss them!! I'm really curious what you'll think of these.
Oh I remember you mentioning something about The Boy and Heron being your least favorite! I'm so excited to watch the rest and compare our notes haha. It might be my least favorite too, I just don't know yet 😄
