    i appreciate the steady hand and clear aversion of any kind of neat parable in this (realistic fiction?). it’s emotions are messy, convoluted, and predicated on very real power dynamics. this sober *feeling of power was pervasive. also, the muddied lens on any topical themes allowed the moments of transcendence to be all the more affecting imo

    only second time - really catching the nuances the second time around. some fantastic, ominous shots of the mako school and the score alternates between tones of triumph and mortality. also wow - what an opening sequence. renny harlin’s best, i think

    eternally grateful for hiyao miyazaki’s devastatingly beautiful and sweetly funny perspective that keeps reincarnating in different themes and characters  😭

    answers the age old question of: “should one do a drive by or go to the ballet recital?” 

    i really enjoyed this. a gem of its era
