[@haplessasshole9615]

It's my favorite Ghibli movie. Guess who's an insecure writer? I'm just disappointed that, in the dubbed version, they killed the recorder and crumhorn playing. My husband and I are early music geeks, and were absolutely delighted to find that some Japanese apparently enjoy Renaissance and Baroque music. Heck, look at the grandfather -- he's bowing his viol de gamba underhand, which is very authentic. Things like that are among the reasons I prefer watching the movies subtitled.

Of all the Ghibli movies I've seen, Whisper of the Heart is the one closest to my heart. It tackles friendship, young love, and dreams. Like Shizuko, I am also a writer who constantly thinks that my works aren't good enough to be read. That regardless of the number of positive feedback I received, there's still a part of me telling that those people complimented me not because my works are good, but because they are being polite.

People are here saying that this movie is underrated, but hell id go far is to say this is their best film. Sure its not too stunning visually like spirited away and the ending is corny, but the characters and the problems they face growing up are real and grounded. Im about to graduate college and i have no idea what im gonna do with my life after, and the analogy with the rough diamond ore struck a core with me as im sure it did with many other ppl, and recreates the innocence and naiveness of a first relationship as well as the struggle to find meaning in life and society. TLDR: this is the best studio ghibli movie because of its relatable characters going through real life problems that the audience can identify with

[@Zeverish]

It's so strange how different this version (in English and Japanese) comes across from the original. Both are about missing one's hometown, a place that is emblematic of a nostalgic past. John Denver's is about savoring the memory of West Virginia and the beauty of the landscape. The memories mean a lot to him, they are "almost heaven" and it makes him sad to remember, but he yearns for the feeling and wishes to go back. In this version, the love and nostalgia is heavily implied, but it's focused on the separation of the singer from this hometown. The road is *right there*, in front of them. The pain of the memories is something to be locked away and moved past, because the place is less than literal. There is a hometown, a place where the singer grew up and has many cherished memories of. But the place they want to return to is more than the literal town. The choice to move on is an active one they have to do, despite the pain and sorrow that causes. They know that the place they want to go to isn't possible to reach anymore, it only exists in their memory. The singer scolds the version of themselves that wants to stay, who wants to return to the past. John Denver's version ends with the call to be taken home by the roads. In this, even if the singer returns the next day they are still definitely saying goodbye to this path that they are promising not to take.

The One Man Army check out from Up on Poppy Hill. It's also a ghibli film but wasn't dubbed by Disney due to the topics it handles. GKIDS did instead. They do good work

[@TheAsh274]

The cold opening of Laputa/Castle in the Sky is at least 9/10 of how to start a movie.

[@krisskross6074]

@@samrobacker346 Actually Disney's contract with Ghibli ended by the time of release of Up on Poppy Hill. So, GKIDS took over the dubbing work.

@@samrobacker346 Yeah I agree, just like how they avoided Grave of the Fireflies.

If you liked this movie please watch Howl's Moving Castle if you haven't already ! Edit: 2 years later and just rewatched both movies this past weekend ! Lol thank you for the likes everybody

[@rosell8444]

Howl's Moving Castle is soo good!

Blake Browne welp as a hardcore fan of studio ghibli i have seen ALL THE FUCKING MOVIES 5 TIMES by now i think

[@emmatheunicorn2546]

Blake Browne I've watched it its amazing!!

Read the book! The Witch of the Waste didn't curse Sophie out of a fit of temper. She had a reason to be in the hat shop and to put a curse on the heroine. It's even better than the movie.

[@joadsonmatias2610]

The adaptation made from Take Home, Country roads of John Denver so that it matched the plot of the main character is absolutely amazing!

영화 자체도 잔잔하며 따뜻해지는 소중한 지브리 애니 중 하나 정말 애정하고 사랑하는 컨트리로드까지 잔잔함의 대명사야 진짜 사랑한다

Movies like this makes life bearable... Reality is too harsh sadly 😢

Fun fact: this is Naminé’s original English voice, Brittany Snow, singing. And Seiji is played by Riku’s English voice actor, David Gallagher.

[@sharvisingh7725]

thanks for the fact!

[@Floricul]

Brittany Snow, not Britney Snow.

THE BEST COMING OF AGE MOVIE I EVER HAVE WATCHED every kid should watch this along with _spirited away_ and _princess mononoke_

[@dianneholsted1328]

I love this version of country Roads very much👍🏻❤️

[@TheMorninGlory23]

God the feels.. the lyrics combined with the fact of the soon-to-be-director's early death combined with the story of the show itself combined with literally its very name lol.. layer upon layer of perfect encapsulation of the human condition. So beautiful.

[@Brenda-jd8ro]

ahh how i miss the times i watched ghibli movies in one week ... my most favs are howls moving castle, spirited away, princess mononoke and this one whispers of the heart 🥰😍🥰

This is gold, i love you studio ghibli ♥️ I was so lucky I was born and I have to witness this movie

It amazes me you can't find the actual video of this scene. I used to own this movie but gave it to my cousin which happens to be on the spectrum. Sadly the movie was lost to a house fire a few years ago. I was told she absolutely loved this movie and drew tons of art.

It's been years since I watched this movie, but the feels hit so hard with just those first few seconds.

[@siddharthgaur2205]

That's what I love abought ghibli studios story , it not a typical love story but it shows how two people push each other and bring the best out of eachother ,and they show even the process where one person inspires the other person can be romantic.

Love that flute/recorder part at the end I wish I had friends i could play music like this with
