i feel so bad for goro miyazaki, not only does he have to live in his father's enormous shadow but he also gets publicly shamed by him... at his son's first film's theater screening his comment to a journalist was that his son should stop making movies.. and apparently he was also rarely present in goro's childhood. hayao miyazaki is a legendary filmmaker but sounds kind of like a terrible father :\\ also wanna plug from up on poppy hill, goro miyazaki's second film. sweet, charming, and visually gorgeous with a beautiful score

Goro Miyazaki directed a great little animated movie called from up on poppy hill in 2011. It captured the ghibli magic for me, and whilst it couldn’t trump some of the ghibli GOATS it’s def in the top 10 and is a really fun and cute time. It also might just be the prettiest looking ghibli movie I’ve seen

@@mayaansu942now that’s a man who knows how to marry his cousin! (This is a community reference, I don’t actually like this plot line, it’s just in case someone misunderstands) Also Hayao Miyazaki co-wrote this film and although I want to give Goro one dub, given the bar set by his two other films, I’d say his dad had a pretty big influence on the refinement of the story.

[@michaelangelo2192]

@@someoneghvjvj1808 Yeah, but let's also not act like the script/story is the best part about From Up on Poppy Hill... In fact, the script is usually what people say is the weakest part. The directing, the visuals, the nostalgic and wonderful presentation of school and adolescence are what people praise the movie for (and these deserve to be credited much more towards the director, Goro than one of the writers, Hayao). The music's also great but that's irrelevant to my point. I think it's only right you give Goro his praise when it's done well like in From Up On Poppy Hill and criticise him when it fails like in his other 2 movies

If the Disney remakes are supposed to "introduce a new generation to the classic stories", it's essentially calling them an ad campaign for kids to see the originals. They aren't good movies, and if spending millions of dollars on a worse remake just to make kids see the originals... Wouldn't a poster be much cheaper, and probably more effective?

[@aarkproductions]

Dude be honest Would you actually see a remake of snow white? Disney can't repackage and resell their products anymore without being controversial... Think about it... People are gonna see it anyway because an honest remake of their own material doesn't likely survive today Yea the jungle book and beauty and the beast worked but that didn't last long before they started loosing money My brother didn't even know about the cinderella remake

[@theamazinglordskermit7604]

from up on poppy hill is a pretty decent film, a weird plot and a very inconsistent tone, both riding a weird line between Charlie Brown childish joy and weird sensational soap opera melodrama. Despite that it has the most enjoyable characters of any of Goro's films and when it does feel like being cute and friendly, its very local atmosphere is quite relaxing. would recommend if you wanna see a good Goro Miyazaki film :)

[@aarkproductions]

I just think after tales from Earthsea bombed he tried to make the type of movie his father would make And it just wasn't as compelling as Miyazaki would've taken up that project If he had an opportunity to make a sequel of Tales from Earthsea or a show, I think there were interesting enough ideas to set it apart from Lord of the Rings

[@Boozer13]

There is no way Barry season 4 could be considered “minimal” in regards to Hader’s directing. Anyone can make a 30 second scene look great with 15 unnecessary cuts to give it a more “action” feel. But a lot of his most pivotal scenes are just 1 extended shot with ALOT going on. And, if you don’t know much about filmmaking then you’ll think that’s lazy but lemme tell you… it’s insane how much effort goes into a single tracking shot. The lighting for each second with a MOVING camera has to be perfect, the actors have to be extensively blocked and ensure to hit their mark each time, the special effect have to hit in a very hectic scenarios etc. And although this season lacked as much comedy as the previous seasons, anyone that calls Hader’s directing boring or lazy is a moron when it comes to making film and television. For context, simply go back to the scene when Gene and his manager break into the reporters house and soak in just how much is happening in camera with just a single tracking shot.

Think about it, Were you ever interested in a remake of snow white? Cause I sure wasn't That's why they're controversial all the time with the casting Now if course people are gonna watch even though they know it's bad Disney never put any effort in the sequel trilogy yet they know you went to watch all three films If they can make money and they don't have to try Why should they?
