    The united civet cats, the human beings who should reflect, at the end, the civet cats are extremely helpless to adapt to human life. The Hundred Ghosts Night Walk is really...

    The worst thing is that I watched the Cantonese version with the subtitles messed up. If I read the original version, I might get full...

    Ghibli's Toshio Suzuki said that Takahata is an artist, I rarely read his works before, and because of Kaguya, I thought he was saying that he had artistic pursuits in the style of painting like Kamimi. This work finally understands that he is really not the same as Hayao Miyazaki. The depth of his plot is that of Akira Kurosawa Imamura Shohei, the first five-star Ghibli...

    A strong "anti-war" core wrapped under the "environmental protection" coat. A civil war of a small race full of internal civilization begins, and then it is invaded by a powerful foreign race, triggering a counterattack of unity within the small race. The first act, military training, demonstrations, guerrillas, and national heroes, did not work, and the hawks and doves were beginning to emerge. In the second act, the strategy was re-established, foreign aid was invited, and a large-scale armed...

    It's very sad to watch on the big screen, I have to hope that my ancestors are civet cats... but I heard a lot of laughter, they seem to be the queen...

    1. It's all due to the blood of fools. It’s better to look at it with "A Family of the Heavens", and to understand the image of civet cats in Japanese culture. 2. The ending is very touching for half an hour, half compromise, half helpless, half humor and half bitterness. 3. The monster parade is a satisfying book~ Actually, the part involving folk customs is quite long. 4. I always feel ironic. . . Bureaucratic meeting left and right disputes armed coup d'état Kamikaze...

    Ten minutes into the end of the film, we burst into tears. We are all the civet cats who will transform. We hate the city and have to enter the city life. We always want to return to the beautiful forest. My home is destroyed, but I can't cry in the city. It is not to stop the development of the city, because it can no longer be stopped, and the beautiful countryside disappears from the country one day. The cry of the civet cat, the earth turning green is a painful sigh, the path surrounded by...

    In fact, in the eyes of humans, all animals, except pets, are food. How can there ever be true peaceful coexistence? The structure of this film is a bit sloppy, and it feels like the protagonist is changing around. Takahata's imagination is unbelievable, but his ability to tell stories is obviously inferior to Hayao...

    6/10. The media used haunting to make news, amusement park imposters took the opportunity to hype, and the police shot and killed animals in the forest; the impeachment struggle between the peaceful and hardliners in the civet cats, the revival of national traditions and the construction of resistance. Some people think that the chaotic riots of civet cats are a metaphor for all the revolutions in human history, and the result is dumbfounding wasted work, and cross-species assimilation has...

    Animals and humans coexist peacefully

    A group of pure civet cats tried their best to protect their homeland. The round civet cats are very cute, they know illusions, and they constantly learn from humans to imitate humans, preventing developers from destroying their forests. The atmosphere of the whole film is relaxed and happy. The...

    It's a metaphor for people

    Variety of civet cats.
    Or Miyazaki.
    Yet another utter shock.

    It was originally a happy and harmonious mountain, where civet cats and humans lived happily. However, human beings want to transform it to be suitable for more people to live in, so they destroy forests, occupy land, and degrade the...

Pom Poko quotes

  • Shokichi: As soon as it's springtime, everybody goes crazy. All of a sudden they want to get married and have families. Nobody seems to remember Oroku's warning that we're not supposed to have any cubs. The second the sun hits their fur, they fall in love.

    [He and Kiyo gaze into each other's eyes]

    Shokichi: But not us. You don't see us chasing after each other like we're lunatics. We can handle not getting married and not having cubs, don't you think?

    Kiyo: Of course we can. I'm so pleased. It's just what I'd hoped you'd say. You're... wonderful.

    [She embraces Shokichi passionately]

    Shokichi: Yeah. We can hold off. I don't need to kiss, or cuddle, or rub noses or...

    Kiyo: [eyes burning with desire] Oh, Shokichi.

    [She kisses him. She leans into Shokichi, then he leans into her]

    Narrator: That was a mistake.

  • Oroku: When I said go out into the world and make some money, I did not mean it literally!
