  My Neighbor Totoro 1988

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 20 Apr 2024

  Wow I wasn't prepared to get so emotional rewatching this. It's been a good 5-6 year stretch since I last watched this film and a lot has changed in that time period. I have became an adult, graduated from college still figuring out life after and my perspective towards the world and art has developed tremendously.

  Undisputed greatest comedy film of all time!

  The quintessential cinematic experience. I can't imagine what it would've been like to watch this film in 1968, prolly was the closest thing to attaining Nirvana, I suppose. I love the way Stanley Kubrick directs his films. He is like this alien figure looking at humanity from an objective lens, showing snippets in time while capturing human experience immaculately. This is most evident in his magnum opus 2001. The film is primarily divided in 4 parts: first the raw story…
