Hayao Miyazaki and the Heron 2024
am i the only one bummed out that Miayazaki's house isn't 100% more whimsical?

did bring the very scattered third act of The Boy and The Heron into focus for me though and i'm very grateful to have gotten to peek well behind the Ghibli curtain

St. Elmo's Fire 1985
