A Beautiful Tale. - When Marnie Was There Movie Reaction (Studio Ghibli)

[@gabrieldobson3469]

Thank You! This movie gets looked over so much by people. It's one of my favourites. Mostly because it keeps the spirit of the novel, which is an English tale.

[@mnomadvfx]

It's in large part because it's not directed by Miyazaki, much like Whisper of the Heart.

[@lemonlime79]

My favorite ghibli filmmmm!!

[@clarejean3309]

I can’t believe you just reacted to my favorite anime and studio Ghibli movie! I relate myself to Anna so much, i have cystic fibrosis (a genetic illness that affects my lungs and digestive system) so I know what’s it’s like to have a asthma attack, I was pretty much a loner in school and read, draw and write. I was bullied in school as well, mostly because of having to be in hospital all the time and for what I liked (anime, kingdom hearts and for reading) Great reaction and have a great Xmas! I recommend wolf children which is a beautiful anime about a young mother raising half human half wolf children. It’s a beautiful story. But thank you for reacting to my favorite studio Ghibli anime!

[@thecoolestmanever9068]

this is fr my favorite movie of all time, its so good. the way it all comes together at the end and all your theories are put to rest, but raises more theories as to how this is all happening. I like to think it's ana's grandmother from whatever spirit realm trying to let her know that she has reason to love herself because just like she can love someone so much, someone else can love her like that, and many do.

[@AiHubo0o]

OMG I've been looking forward to your studio ghibli reactions the whole year. This just made my Xmas!

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

I love this film! Marnie was a real ghost, that's why she said to keep it a secret 31:34 so no one would think Anna was crazy for seeing someone who was dead. The reason Marnie came back is because Anna needed her, as Anna says "I miss you. I called for you, and in my heart I shouted." 53:59 . Anna had a lot of anger in her because she felt that everyone left her, but in the end she forgave them and let go of her pain 1:05:37

[@743c.lalremruata.4]

Imo anna is healing from the story of marnie which she told her when she was a baby and seeing the marsh house made her remember it and it help her to confront herself

[@SohhamJeet]

Thank you for reacting to this movie, so much so that not a many people react to this movie so often. It was one of my favorite Studio Ghibli movies and also was one of those few movies which tend to get more melancholic and painful after a few rewatch. Especially, after the backstory sequence told by Hisako (the painter lady in the end of the movie) makes this movie more painful, so much so that on my third rewatch, I weeped at the end. In my opinion, it was one of the best movies ever produced by Studio Ghibli, apart from From Up On Poppy Hill and Whisper Of The Heart. But, it is really unfortunate to see this movie losing the Best Animation Film award at the 88th OSCARS, 2016. Furthermore, the ending song of this movie (Fine On The Outside by Priscilla Ahn) been one of my favourite songs of all time, ever since I've watched this movie.

[@quilerian9315]

That moment when music started to play 1:14:02. I remember when i was first watching and Anna said "Grandma" in Japanese version. I was crying for couple days. That hit so hard. Beautiful story.

[@sheikaitheblueberryelf4938]

This movie always makes me cry my eyes out at the end, I love it so much. ♥

[@todoroki3781]

So its basically implied that Marnie can't pass on to the Afterlife until she can rest knowing that she loves Anna and is sorry for leaving her. Thats why she was still around.

[@markthedark595]

When I was younger, I was sent to a hospital due to my anger episodes and violent outbursts. I've always been a shy person, moreso when I was a kid. But at that hospital, I made so many friends. Kids my age and teens who were older than me and treated me like I was a part of their club which made me feel special. This film connected with me because the main character is introverted and opens up in a new environment where she feels like she belongs in a crowd rather than outside.

[@LunaRip420]

😊🤗🙌 You are Special... ❤

[@OceanSidezOnline]

My dad cried when watching the movie with him, it’s now banned in our house because it hurts him too much to see it

[@weirdcherrytasteyuck]

I bet your dad knew a girl who named Marnie too.

[@mastermind4690]

Then he wasn't going to see the Ghibli movie "Grave Of Fireflie".

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

Why? It has a happy ending.

[@mastermind4690]

@@ThisIsMyFullName What movie are you talking about? "FireFlies" or "Marnie"?

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

@@mastermind4690 Marnie of course!

[@cree_VI]

I love this anime, and such a plot twist. I totally agree with you, that all people should spend time in the countryside, i remember when i was small and a teen and stayed at my grandparent's house every summer also in my cousin's grandparents' house. I like to spend time with animals, to run barefoot in the yard, to go by the river, lake... all that fresh air... and now during summer i want to leave city and spend more time in the countryside.

[@EurovisionFan91]

If you annoy introverted people, then we will finally explode and say what we mean (like calling someone fat pig). Thank you for reacting to one of the best movies ever made :)

[@jakes.7201]

Wooooo! I am LOVING these movies reactions!

[@BrittanyLee12]

I absolutely love this movie it’s so beautiful and I hardly ever see anyone react to it or talk about it!

[@hummus_exual]

I couldn't help but let out a happy sigh when I saw this thumbnail! This movie is so beautiful yet underrated, and very few have reacted to it. So excited for this reaction! Also, take a shot every time Anna either passes out or gets her shoes wet

[@wyntrr_end]

lol i love how suzy is all “is she gay?” and then later on completely talks over and probably misses hearing Marnie tell Anna “I love you so much, more than any girl I’ve ever known”

[@SuzyLuOfficial]

I still don't think she was gay, I mean It's her Grandma so that would be completely weird lol.

[@wyntrr_end]

@@SuzyLuOfficial oh I definitely agree with you, I just found it amusing that you asked the question and then seemed to miss the line that I felt was the most "is she gay?" moment in the movie :)

[@abigaileldritch]

Omg yay! I love watching you two watch ghibli movies. It always makes me feel better.

[@saemigyup_sal]

I literally screamed when I saw the thumbnail!!

[@dawnezone8491]

I just love the song from the movie - Fine on the outside by Priscilla Anh...a marvellous movie ♥♥♥

[@shawnthedragonwarrior18]

I'm so happy you guys watched this. This movie was just forgotten.

[@FightingTorque411]

Ahhh, you had the movie so early on at 34:14 by noting the physical resemblance between Anna and Marnie, and then you lost it again 😅 Thanks for another Ghibli reaction - this one was never a favourite on first watching, but it's growing on me with time and possibly age (another one, Only Yesterday, in particular I think you can't truly appreciate until you're at least 27 or so - the age of the protagonist). Looking forward to the final one tomorrow - Merry Christmas to yous both!

[@MissTV36]

Just in case nobody explained it to you the scene at 27:47, here it is: When Anna lost the last of her family, people felt sorry for her, but nobody really wanted to step up and take her in.

[@harshurathi7688]

today me and my friend were on call and we were like gonna re watch when marnie was there as our christmas movie and u uploaded today ahhhhhhhhh I WON 😭😭😭

[@kimjoohans]

This is my fav plot twist from ghibli 😢 i'm crying and sad

[@Pablo_sanz359]

I guess some people don't know what it's like to have low esteem and be socially awkward when you are young. I was just like Anna and I would reject any genture by anyone who'd triy to be friendly/nice to me. I just found it so fake and somewhat condescending. It is irrational, yes, but that scene where Anna calls Nobuko a fat pig was so real to me it made me cry.

[@brainzter]

About time, I've suggested this for the past 3 Christmases 🙄😂

[@MrMrPang]

I hope you guys can react 《The Cat Returns》made by Studio Ghibli in 2002. It is a beautiful and lovely pet movie.

[@clarejean3309]

The cat returns was my first anime and studio Ghibli movie!

[@イレーナ-r1o]

月島雫が描いた話。

[@kk-me1wz]

Next, check out Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. This work was created before Castle in the Sky and is Miyazaki's masterpiece. It is the most complete work among all the works of the past, so I would like you to see it.

[@SupremeKaiRich]

Ooh yeah, this is a good one. I feel like this Ghibli movie is slept on.

[@hyunjinlovesfelix02]

My fav anime movie😭😭😭

[@MTTT19]

I hope you guys get to Whisper of the Heart. It’s my personal favourite.

[@AGothicFairyTale]

The English voice actor of Riku from Kingdom Hearts does the voice for Seiji... I think his name was. I've seen all of Suzy's Kingdom Hearts playthroughs!

[@AGothicFairyTale]

When Marnie Was There is one of my favorite Ghibli movies! It's so underrated! It was on Hayao Miyazaki's list of books he considered making into films or something like that. He retired before this movie came out, but I think he's been in and out of retirement since then. I read the book, which was much better than this movie. As Suzy mentioned, a lot of things were cut out, and a lot of things were changed. Now I want to reread the book!

[@HelTra91]

Gotta say, they are not killing it with these dubs, just finding big name actors but they don't match the characters at all. If you have a chance I'd recommend watching the original Japanese ones :)

[@_-Glitch-_]

You finally watched my favorite movie :)

[@coolrottie2565]

Watching you trying to work out what’s going on is fun. I think everyone should probably watch all episodes of every - The Twilight Zone, then a lot of movies like this will probably get worked out early. I worked out what was going on early in this movie, halfway through The sixth Sense and at the start of The Others.

[@chiewfong8252]

Nausicca please

[@Kickinthescience]

The character in the thumbnail looks like a certain character from the anime called Monster

[@carlg.7882]

I hope you do Ghibli movie From Up on Poppy Hill for your next Ghibli film reaction. It has nice music and delicious looking food.

[@johnrobertson5556]

React to digimon the movie for nostalgic reason!

[@krul146]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lucasvaras1458]

Please, The tale of princess Kaguya

[@desertpack9580]

You guys should check out the witches flower I think you guys might like it

[@Jon_from_LI]

I'd highly recommend the novel that this movie is based on. Gets deeper into the story than the Studio Ghibli adaptation.

[@kitespongan]

Haaha was the uncle John C. Reilly? 😂

[@itsmesteve1081]

At first i thought this was just a movie about two girls liking each other so i kept turning the movie off after every 15 minutes or so. I felt like it was just so typical and corny. Like, why am i watching a romance movie? And then as i kept watching, i finally finished the movie. It took me several sittings in order to finish it, but it was totally worth it. When you switch Marnie's character from a romantic love interest for Anna's grandmother, everything starts to make sense. It was extremely rewarding to sit down and finally finish it. If the DVD cover didn't have this movie rated as 4/5 stars i probably wouldn't have finished it. That rating made me want to find out why it was highly rated. It made complete sense

[@MillyKKitty]

It is a good movie although how they potray their relationship at the beginning made me mistake them as future girlfriends... So the twist was just weird 😅

[@Morrosdarkness]

I love you two so much❤️❤️. Suzy when are you going to play the other god of war games?
