home defense

I watched another Ghibli cartoon. I watched this cartoon with a high fever, which was 38.9 degrees.
The movie is very long, almost two hours. It describes the story of a group of civet cats fighting against humans in order to defend their homeland.
From my point of view, the plot is very general, just plain and straightforward, and there are not many twists in the story. The ending is rather sad.
After all, civet cats cannot defeat humans.
The story is nothing more than about the development of human beings, destroying the environment, and telling people to cherish nature.
The interesting part is the part where the tanuki transforms into a ghost and goes on a parade, which is very interesting. It is very admirable that Takahata is able to come up with so many changes.
I don't know this story, is there a corresponding legend in Japan?
When I was watching this cartoon, I was so sick to death, the fever made my muscles ache, it was so painful.

    The reason for the 4 stars is because in the end, I thought of a dog-blood ending. The civet cat that became a human is incompatible with human society, and it is not accepted by the primitive civet cat group. . .

    A group of civet cats that are so joyful and deformable.

Pom Poko quotes

  • Osho: [Osho is patiently teaching a class to the young raccoons] A raccoon fell out of the tree! Yes, that's right. Who can tell me *why* the raccoon fell out of the tree? Gonta?

    Gonta: He was a loser. *I* wouldn't have fallen.

    Osho: Good answer.

  • Bunta: So what has been happening to our forest? It's only been three years. I feel like Rip Van Winkle.

    Shokichi: We did everything we could to try to stop it.

    Bunta: Every inch of the woods has changed. How could the land be so transformed?

    Tamasaburô: We're so sorry. This must come as quite a shock.

    Bunta: So the humans did it themselves?

    Kiyo: [crying] That's right. They transformed all of Tama Hills.

    Bunta: But how? Only raccoons should be able to do that. We're the only ones!

    [He rushes off and shouts at the city]

    Bunta: Who do you think you are, you stupid humans? Raccoons are the ones who transform things. How can you do this? How can you do this?

    [He sinks to his knees and beats the ground]

    Bunta: The only way this makes sense is if all you humans are raccoons! You're all stupid, evil, selfish raccoons!

    [He sobs and howls]
