Haven't been on Netflix in a hair, do they still have the ghibli catalog up there? Which dub of Cagliostro do they have? The Hayter dub or the one where Lupin is called Wolf?

They do outside the US

loling at the fact that Discotek's BD of Cagliostro was originally supposed to have a fully playable version of Cliff Hanger, the arcade FMV game made out of the movie, but the only thing that stopped them was missing VA contracts

Yeah, I liked that it had a bit more story than Totoro but also it's just hard to beat such an iconic movie, even if a small part of me thinks it can be a bit dull.

Also yes, I love Lisa

So back when The Wind Rises first came out, back when it actually was Miyazaki's Last Movie, I had immediately pegged it as partly Miyazaki having a conversation with himself on his life as a creator, the things he has created, and the legacy he leaves behind, particularly in the dream scenes with Caproni, and that really resonated with me. I was partly worried that now that it was no longer Miyazaki's Last Movie, that aspect of the movie would be weakened, but nope. Is it a bit of a slow, deliberate movie? Yeah. Is it super eventful? Not compared to his other sort of action and adventure type movies.

But I dunno

It just kinda hits for me, man.

Boy and the Heron I feel has a lot more to...chew on than Miyazaki's other works. Abstract, kinda cryptic. Lotta layers.

Boy and the Heron was a really good movie, very dark. The first half hour or so (up until they get sucked down through the floor) had me entirely in rapture. Still a strong movie, but the scope of that early part of the film is told so lucidly and with such intensity.

I wasn't expecting it to be so much like Night on the Galactic Railroad meets Pan's Labyrinth. It's a strange movie, because I feel like the diagetic mysteries of the story and setting compel a rewatch, but the thematic takeaways are basically out in the open (it is a movie titled "how do you live?" after all).

The thing that I really loved the most about the movie is that it's so willing to just lean into being an art film. The wound at the beginning, or the swarms of animals--there's such a force to the visual metaphor, they are so arresting.

I think this will be compared frequently to Princess Mononoke for being a dark and violent fantasy, but imo it is very much a direct evolution from The Wind Rises. Except that The Wind Rises may be aimed at an older generation while The Boy and the Heron is aimed at a younger generation. They are both about the connection between art and civilization. About the folly of trying to create uncontaminated art in a contaminated world, and how that very impulse somehow is a shadow of the impulse to control and order society through violence.

Yeah, it's very much a similarly introspective movie to The Wind Rises and I dig it

Where The Wind Rises felt like a film being made by a man at the end of his career, The Boy and the Heron feels like a film made by a man who is nearing the end of his life.

Because I haven't praised the dub enough, I thought Christian Bale was really fun as Mahito's dad. It didn't feel like anyone was phoning it in. Even Bautista, who was pretty close to his natural voice, brought a good performance. It really felt like GKIDS and the crew at NYAV knew they had a lot to prove because while they've been doing Ghibli for a while, this was their first new Miyazaki.
