Saw it. Liked it. Not as good as some of his others.

Well, it was the first one that he created himself, so some leeway is alowed... which other ones did you think were better, though? All i've seen so far are Totoro, Spirited Away, and Castle in the Sky

....What? O_o

I think you would really like Grave of the Fireflies. It's not directed by Miyazaki but it's a Studio Ghibli film.

...is that what hrae was showing? O_o

im really confused... O_o

EDIT: nvm, looked it up. still dont know where hrae's coming from.

Anyway, yeah, it looks good, i'll make sure to check it out v.v

I love that miyazaki's an anti-war enviornmentalist/feminist. When you really think about it, he expresses it pretty well in his movies. and they're the kinds of themes i like.

It's a race from the Star Trek universe, the Nausicaans. They were named after NausicaÃ¤, a character from The Odyssey. The film you're talking about is also named for that character. Just a bit of visual wordplay.

When you get down to it, everybody is anti-war. But some people might say that it's necessary. I'm not really sure he's anti-war as much as he shows the complexity of war.

And like I said, Grave of the Fireflies is based on a novel and not directed by Miyazaki so it's not exactly a Miyazaki original work.

i know, i was just refferring to his work in general. i heard nausicaa's anti war, as is Howl's Moving Castle.

And i dont know if that's entirely true. Some people's greed make them think that war is a business. Cheney, for example.
