one of my favorite movies ever… it’s about a girl discovering herself, what she wants to do and how to get there. It’s so delicate and human
It’s also top animation, Tokyo in the 90s, cat themed, and you got the realest most sweet romance you will want to throw up while watching it
I’ll stop now but I could write a book about this movie… maybe i feel specially connected to this film bc im also lost at life but still a ghibli must watch

i luv this movie so damn much ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ I feel like so many romance movies place ppl’s
‘Personal legend’ ///career or passions, to be less important than a partner … which is more important or if one is, idk?.. BUT to finally see a movie where the main character places so much importance on her passions is beautiful … or to atleast be content with what she does in life before pursuing a relationship…
and yes…. Their love story IS also really cute :,) it’s just balanced really nicely and different to usual

My favorite work from Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli, as well as one of the first anime I watched when I was a kid and didn't even know what anime was (the first was Pokemon lol). The nostalgia is real but I connect with this film so much more in my late twenties.
When I think of Howl's Moving Castle, I think of love and just how life-changing it can be when you meet someone new who ends up being someone important and special. When people are positive influences on each other and they are for the better from having met and maintaining those bonds. Quite frankly, I live for this shit. This is ofc most evident between the two leads Howl and Sophie, but it's not exclusive to them.
I also think of just how goddamn beautiful and magical this movie is to watch, but that's pretty par for the course when it comes to Miyazaki/Ghibli :)

i could be considered the ghibli version of a disney adult but without hoarding themed stuff. i go to gkids every year. ok-
this depends on how you define underrated..
the boy and the heron? so underrated. if you haven’t, watch it because it’s all the things a ghibli movie is: top tier animation, sobering themes, cozy/low stimulation scenes, character decisions that catch you off guard. they’re so good at telling a story.
whisper of the heart is the cutest little low stim comfort film about falling in love. it’s a warm hug like totoro (without the dying mother :/)
the cat returns is not low stim but it’s fun and cheeky in a way the others aren’t. it gives me princess bride vibes i can’t explain why.

just saw some people has been turning sea glass into jewelry or art, and I think it’s a beautiful way to see the world. I live by the beach so anytime I walk pass I detour a bit to look for and collect 5 or so beautiful pieces. I love watching them when It’s sunny and i can see the tinted reflection in its shadow
been doing that for over a year now, i have a giant bag full of them, I’m surprised it hasn’t broken yet lol it’s heavy af

I’ll hav to go classic and say hereditary…. I’ve seen it 10 times and still get the chills and discover new things with every watch, might be my fav film!
Uncut gems is also really close, it’s not that intricate so I don’t watch it that much for the essence to still hit me lol. One of the coolest films
To end this id say past lives… the way they represent love is to me the truest way of loving someone, will always be a part of your life

Been using it since 2017 and I love love love to see every movie I’ve watched since then and what I thought about them… revisiting them and realize how much (or how little) I’ve changed!
Also love to read all reviews and how art hits different to everyone, it could be the most important movie to some but sleep material to others lol. Anyways I just love to see art interacting with people and people interacting with each other trough the art
