FROM UP ON POPPY HILL (review?)

[ladycrystalline]

HEY GUYS. I forgot to tell y'all I watched From Up on Poppy Hill. Its really good. I suggest you to not read what the plot is. It'll ruin it for you definitely.

When I first watched it, I couldn't help but separate okada's voice from the character. I don't know if I make sense but it felt like okada's voice didnt seem to fit the character when I first watched it.

 

HOWEVER, after watching it again, I was able to watch it normally and things fit with each other. Okada was perfect for this role and I'm glad I was finally able to watch it.

 

TELL ME HOW YOU LIKED THE MOVIE :D

I thought it was good... BUT NOT AS GOOD AS MONONOKE OR HOWL OR SPIRITED AWAY OR TOTORO OR HOTARU NO HAKA

lol

Yeah it wasnt as good as Hayo Miyazaki's creations, but it was better than the other works Goro Miyazaki created before this movie. Goro likes realism more than his father's genre, fantasy. :D

I see :3
But, this is so random but
HOTARU NO HAKA MADE ME BAWL MY EYES OUT

No matter how many times I watch it, the scene where the brother thinks about his sister always gets to me. It breaks anyone's heart to find out that the movie was based on a true story. ;_;

Hotaru no Haka is the only Ghibli film that made me cry rivers. TT^TT

I know! No matter how many times I watch it... I bawl within the first two minutes of the movie TT_TT

Same here! Except I watched mononoke when I was younger.. and it was scary. I didn't like that deer HE'S STILL CREEPY BUT HE IS A GOOD GUY!

It was better than Gedo Senki at least...? XDDD

(And I agree about Okada's voice not fitting Shun... I think he did better job voicing Umi's dad I think that was his voice anyway... and I hope that wasn't a spoiler. XDDDD)

Yeah I honestly couldn't get through Gedo Senki XD;

Glad I'm not the only one who was a bit bothered. It probably was because he has a more mature/older voice so Okada seemed to fit Umi's dad better.

I really liked this movie.
I love how it was filmed around everyday scenes. And the music is beautiful;
The story is lovely too.
