fairy tales have always existed

I have always believed that there are fairy tales in this world, and I don't understand why I should look at Ghibli from the perspective of an adult. It was just boring to watch, and it happened to be the premiere again. I didn't expect to find a treasure. Overall I think this is a tribute, Mary pays tribute to all Ghibli heroines; the weird fish chasing Mary pays tribute to the weird paper cranes in Spirited Away chasing Chihiro; the monster at the end that absorbs huge magic Or a gathering of magic powers) may be a tribute to the faceless man when he went mad; Mary's house pays tribute to the architecture of "Howl's Moving Castle"; the magic school pays tribute to "City in the Sky"...

Mary feels a lot like Caroline from "Ghost Mom." Inferiority, vanity, transformation...

Some people may think that a single heroine and the ending of "truth, goodness and beauty" are the point of aesthetic fatigue for Ghibli, but I don't think that modern society needs Ghibli.

(PS: At the end of the last, when I saw the three people in the "Thanks" column, I burst into tears.

And Guangmei's voice is only a short paragraph! Not enough to hear! )

    The story and tone are very Ghibli-like, but the script is mediocre and not brilliant. After visiting the Magic Academy for the first time, the surprise is basically over, and the line of Aunt Charlotte has no function and emotion. If a fairy tale is true or false, it is better to say that it is a girl's epiphany after waking up from a dream, to get rid of the embarrassment of growing up and the psychological entanglement of not without vanity, and become a kind and independent girl.

    (6.0) 99% of the Ghibli retrospectives are just short of Totoro. You can even see thanks to Isao Takahata, Hayao Miyazaki, and Toshio Suzuki.
