    I had the privilege to rewatch the movie in the 4K rerelease in theaters and it was amazing. I had already seen this movie, but I don't think I remembered much about it? I was completely blown away about pretty much everything. It's a studio Ghibli film so ofc the animation is gorgeous and its beauty awe-inspiring in both grand and quiet moments. What particularly struck me this time was how great of a main character Ashitaka was: his curse…

    Mickey 17 and 18 were so cute
    ADDENDUM: it was a really good scifi narrative, and it's cool to see such a weird story in such a mainstream way. the actors were really good (you can tell robert pattinson and mark ruffalo were having fun). my main quibble is that i felt like the movie dealt with two main issues but kinda split them along the first and second part so it felt less cohesive than i would have liked. still a thoroughly enjoyable watch that i could never quite tell where it went
