Agh, I've been slacking off :eek: Now that it's summer I need to plow through the other eight films here.

Anyway, I am surprised that Donnie Darko hated Nausicaa, while I didn't expect him to love it I also though that this movie is rather accessible for a broad spectrum of people (that was his intention), though a 16 year old male is pretty much the least adequate demographic for Miyazaki's work (as I explained earlier). As he grows up he will probably develop a different opinion of these movies.
I do recommend Porco Rosso to you, though. I think you might like that one a little more. It's quite different from Miyazaki's other work.
I watched every film on this Hall of Fame list now, by the way.
My question is: Should I send in a top 12 or just a top 6? |
Re: The 1st MoFo Movie Hall of Fame: Round 1
Actually Porco Rosso is the only ghilibi film that I want to watch.

Re: The 1st MoFo Movie Hall of Fame: Round 1
Takahata's films are strictly adult. Only Yesterday and Grave of the Fireflies don't have any of the childlike elements present in all of Miyazaki's work, even Porco Rosso has some childlike elements and a sense of unshakable dignity that is often associated with family friendly material.
Takahata and Satoshi Kon are the anime directors that made movies for adults only. |

Re: The 1st MoFo Movie Hall of Fame: Round 1
Judging a movie by trailer is like judging a girl's looks by it's back.

Re: The 1st MoFo Movie Hall of Fame: Round 1
I am an ass type of guy though.

Re: The 1st MoFo Movie Hall of Fame: Round 1
this looks like fun guys. The thing I like best is that you've given lots of time for people to see all the films involved. If this happens again, I'd love to be a part of it.

The English language trailer of P.M. is horrible. The Japanese trailer is much better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyX89c3nSHw
I think I will nominate Ponyo or My Neighbor Totoro for the next round of the Mofo hall of fame. If Donnie though Nausicaa was childish, what he will think of those - that are Miyazaki's actual 100% children's movies? I think he will hate the cuteness of these movies so much that he will have a stroke watching any one of these. :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh4rqs62pL8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUyXe4qW8CM Japanese culture appear to me to be more childlike than US culture, explaining why an American might view Nausicaa as a movie for people under 8, even though it was explicitly made for people much older than that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNdPPEwguDQ |
Don't forget this, guys!
@Guaporense: I would like you to send in a more obscure anime film that I haven't seen yet, but I guess that's not really the point of a Hall of Fame. I think My Neighbor Totoro has its adult elements, by the way. It's probably my second favorite Miyazaki film. It also had that magical feeling that I also felt with Spirited Away. That kind of feeling I didn't really find in Howl's Moving Castle (for instance), although it's also very magical plotwise. I can't really put my finger on the exact reason, though. Somehow the two films I first mentioned had a much bigger effect on me. Ponyo is indeed very much for children. I liked it. I'm still a (big) child myself! Didn't have that magical feeling I talked about earlier, though. |
Re: The 1st MoFo Movie Hall of Fame: Round 1
How are we doing as far as finishing this round?

Re: The 1st MoFo Movie Hall of Fame: Round 1
Still have a couple votes to go. Anybody heard from jal90 recently?
|
I looked at his/her profile and their last post was in June, but he/she logged in the second of this month. :shrug: My bet is that you probably aren't getting his/her votes.
