I just finished Ponyo (yes, I know it's a little late, but I assure you I'm watching Arriety as soon as I can), but I didn't really like it all that much. Which is an unusual thing for me to say about a Ghibli film - a Miyazaki/Hisaishi one, at that. I guess it's because I was supporting the so-called bad guy all the way?
But really, the so-called protagonist was the one who nearly brought about the end of the world - though in her defense it was done unwittingly - and it was the misunderstood antagonist who kept trying to restore the balance, with no help from the clueless supporting characters who all believed he was evil.
JUST BECAUSE HE LOOKED CREEPY.
And in the end, HE apologised. Bloody hell.
MEH.
...It was a decent movie, I suppose. I just wish she learned, at the end of it, how much trouble she caused. But no, everyone's happy because the love between two five-year-olds proved true, never mind that our homes were destroyed and the town is hundreds of metres underwater.
AND HER FATHER APOLOGISED. WHY?!
I'm sorry, I just really had to get that out of my system.
