What's up guys!? I'm Taylor I’m Just A Guy and welcome to my channel where I react to and review Animes, TV Series', and Movies that I've never seen before. I'm hyped to have you here with me! So grab some snacks, kick back, and let's get into it!
Although it's only the beginning of autumn, the intense heat continues, but how are you doing? I'm not educated so I don't know your country, so I'll just comment in English. First of all, nice reaction 👍 I used to watch Totoro a lot on the VHS we had at home when I was a child, so much so that my family couldn't watch the morning news every day. VHS 📼... I can feel the era lol I wanted to write a long-winded post, but I can't think of anything, so I'll write about my personal recommendations 😵💫 My favorite Hayao work is probably 紅の豚Kurenai no buta(Porco Rosso). If you're interested in Hayao Mecha and have the opportunity and time to watch it, please watch it. Bye, brother 🤝 From Yellow Monkey Boy in Japan🇯🇵

In a minor defense of Cato (and the other careers): They have been raised from birth to one day volunteer and win for their district. They have had fighting and media training, and know how to play the crowds/sponsors. It is theorized that the reason the careers laugh about killing people and are so vocal about killing is because they know the camera are rolling and sponsors are watching. A rich person may be more inclined to sponsor a tribute that looks like a cold-blooded killer. But we see during Cato's final moments that he is also just a kid, and he's realized he's failed to do the one thing he has always been expected to do. I feel some sympathy for him, just as I feel sympathy for all the kids in the arena. They are all just a product of a tyrannical government.

Conspiracy theory videos are one thing. But the pronunciation of 'Ghibli' starts with a "soft G" sound. From their official Kanji (スタジオジブリ), the name of the production company is pronounced 'Sutajiojiburi'. That's 'Jiburi' for the name of the studio, not "Gibbly". You're welcome.

Yo biggest recommendation since you watched Princess Mononoke already, is Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind! Great movie! Came out before Studio Ghibli was founded but it's still considered their work and it's in collections of their work as well. Came out 2 years before Castle in the Sky!

Another comment on "Godzilla Minus One Reaction". What I found after several viewings, ignoring the subtitles, lol, nah. Opening scene has the venerable Japanese Zero Fighter landing on the fictional Odo Island. Home of the fictional monster "Gojira". The end of WWII was September 1945. "A new Yankee weapon?" as the mechanics all look to the sky. The premise of the movie is the survivors of the Tokyo Fire Bombing of March 10th 1945. Mankind's worst that had more casualties than and lost in history to the Hiroshima or Nagasaki Bomb. Nearly 300 newly developed long range B29 Bomber's and newly developed Incendiary bombs: Napalm. All developed and designed to rain fire on the civilians of Tokyo in March of 1945. The "Black Market" scene with it's vendors, hustlers and prostitutes to introduce Noriko & Akiko to Koichi is brilliant. The "Ameyoko" is fact. Noriko scores a turnip and shows a hungry Akiko. One date March 1946, the one (1) year anniversary of the Tokyo Fire Bombing it's raining heavily. Ironically Koichi is soaked in rain water and not fire. "Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho so, off to work I go". At work, (Bashful) Koichi meets (Doc), (Grumpy) Captain & (Happy) the Kid. Somewhere The Brothers Grimm & Walt Disney are smiling. Takashi Yamazaki, takes from great story tellers from around the world and becomes one himself. Koichi has a nightmare of fire outside, as people crying out "fire,fire" then there's Godzilla. Another date March 1947, it's the two (2) year anniversary of the Tokyo Fire Bombing. It's sunny. An Erie scene of Noriko's shadow through the window as she looks into the mirror and the shadow appears across her face. A ghostly premonition. On March 10th 2024, the 79th anniversary of the Tokyo Fire Bombing", Takashi Yamazaki & crew was awarded the Oscar in Hollywood California. Takashi Yamazaki tells a great Japanese post WWII story using the great Japanese fictional monster "Gojira" that people wouldn't be interested in anyway. The sudden bombardment of Godzilla by the "Takao" is ironic as the "Takao" was offshore supporting the surprise attack of Pearl Harbor. (Elder family members would share stories of that time being from Hawai'i). Harley Davidson, Koichi's Black Market motorcycle, and the Japanese Imperial Navy was a surprise discovery. The last line, Noriko looks to the side of the camera and says, "Is your war.....now, finally over? Translated differently on my DVD than in the theaters. Read that in Japan, after the movie, in theaters people applauded.

If you really think this film is good, I urge you to watch it again with the original Japanese audio (English subtitles). 33:16 ★The dialogue here is not in the original and was added in the American version. When I first saw the English dubbed version, I felt sad and angry. In the original version, it delicately conveys how a 12-year-old girl tries her best to take care of her younger sister as a mother figure, but her feelings are torn apart. Yet, in the English dub, she is represented as a mean older sister who just scolds her younger sister. I was really sad because I like Satsuki

The thing is even the career tributes are victims. They have been raised to believe in the whole process and train to become winners. Cato's realisation at the end is heartbreaking. He's still a kid and has been lied to by all the adults he trusted and he was raised to be slaughtered. The author wanted to make parallels between war and the entertainment industry. We cheer when the careers are killed, but we forget they are still children.

In the books, Buttercup (the cat) did hate Katniss. According to Katniss, the closest they ever got to "love" would be where Katniss feeds him in exchange for not being hissed at. But Buttercup LOVED Prim. In the Book, after Prim died, when Katniss found Buttercup, Buttercup was hissing at her until Katniss mentioned Prim's name, where he then started "wailing" alongside Katniss upon realizing she wasn't coming back. The next day, Katniss woke up to Buttercup standing by her bed, as if to "protect" her

@patmcconnell9956Ай бұрын
I really appreciate your commentary on the setting, context, and history. You can really see how, because this time in the story’s history is so close to the first war between the districts and the rebellion, the district common people are naturally more free-spirited, lively, and rebellious (compared to Katniss’s time period at least). Yet at the same time the war devastated the Capitol’s elite and leadership classes, so THEY were naturally less inclined to view the district people as “people” and more as evil animals than the Capitol had been during Katniss’s time, with the way all the tributes were pampered and glamorized as celebrities. So yeah, the world and history of this universe is so interesting but of course the books do a better job explaining at them.
@patmcconnell9956Ай бұрын
I love how simple as a line of “I can’t have killed them all for nothing” could put a viewer’s mind into perspective and remind them that yeah, while this chick was presented as the “bad guy” in the arena and a seriously petty hater toward Lucy Gray, she’s still just a kid. They all are. So that line reminds you that the Capitol were the ones trying to make her and the rest of the tributes out to look like savage villains because they left these kids with no choice but to kill each other. It’s such underrated writing and storytelling IMO.

I love the incredible nuance of this film. We cannot undo what has been done, we can’t turn back time and reverse human discovery and deeds. But we can learn from our ancestors, we can choose how we live moving forward. I believe the philosophy of the film is anti-war, anti-hate. It promotors a pastoral care towards nature, and encourages learning about the perspectives of all people we meet. The subtext of this film is next level

So why the sudden turn in the end you kind of have to read under context. When snow says he killed 3 and Lucy Grey says she knew about 2 who was the third and he lies, she's smart to realize that a lie and know it was Sejanus, that he turn him in to save him solve and if he can do that to someone he knew for years and was a "friend" , then why can't he do that to her, i mean she knew he was there with her, not because he wanted too, but because he was running away because he was scared the gun was going to be found, she knew he wanted to go home. So i think in the end she was scared and realize she didn't really know him and what she found out about him showed that he was not a good person, also in the movie they made Snow more likeable then in the book when you know what his thinking and know he was always kind of bad.

The world-building in the movies is EXCELLENT. Katniss is incredibly smart and very clear about all the levels of oppression in their everyday life down to the little things. The movies toned that down but her inner dialogue is filled with observations and things she learns along the way that pay off to help her win the games. Panam is much darker in the books and they explain really well why some people buy into the system, why some are just trying to survive and can't oppose it, why some do oppose it. etc. We see a completely dystopian society only to see parallels with our own. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the kids on campuses today grew up reading the Hunger Games trilogy.
