This is going to sound like heresy but I never understood what is the big deal with Ghibli’s films. They have good production values … and that’s about it really. I never really connect with the stories - they aren’t bad stories but they never really made much of an impact on me.

It’s for the kids. You meant to re-watch them millions of times, and that’s where the beauty lay. You see new details, you come to understand each second was thoroughly thought of. He is a genius, Hayao Miyazaki. Most of Disney / Pixar movies, you’re gonna hate them after a couple of re-watches.

  What do you think it means if someone never outgrows this? Like what if you have zero compunction about re-watching old stuff?

    For me personally that’s a nightmare. I don’t like to dwell in the past too much. But there are always people I know personally, who can remember some very precise things of the past (e.g. me wearing something very common and usual during some very common and usual event at, say, school). Whilst I cannot even remember the event took place at all, so usual it was. They not gaslight me, I know, as with their reminders I can remember some minuscule details. But I see them themselves as someone living in the past way too much. ‘Good ol’ days,’ you know. I’m not a very enlightened person myself, but this living in the past is way too much for me. That’s what I feel about re-watching some shitty movie over and over again. Even cult ones, like Rocky, original Star Wars, Terminator etc. It feels way too much for me. A tiny dose of nostalgia once a few years maybe, that’s okay. But being there over and over, nah.
