  ½ Watched 29 Sep 2022 2

  holy shit this movie is so racist it’s insane why is this so highly ranked??? depicting Māori people as rapists and plain idiots is disgraceful. like was it really necessary to the plot that these people be Māori hooooooly shit?!! 

  I am also a piano player of sorts and the pieces they chose for this film are meh. 

  a misogynistic, racist film that clearly romanticises Stockholm Syndrome…directed by a woman FROM NEW ZEALAND

  Howl's Moving Castle 2004

  ★★★½ Watched 23 Nov 2022

  It’s beautiful. The animation, score, voice acting.. just beautiful.

  But the war narrative wasn’t convincing, which was the major plot. I don’t think they set it up well. It needed more backstory. And perhaps more details on witches, curses etc. Basically the world building was lacking a lot. 

  I would have loved to see more backstory on Markl as well. Had no idea it was Josh Hutcherson. He did such a good job!! As did others! 

  But again, it is a beautiful film. I expect nothing less from Miyazaki.
