The Heron represents Toshio Suzuki. Suzuki and Miyazaki didn't have a good relationship back then. And Mahito injurying himself was most likely a way for him to escape his situation and emotions that was bottled up. Since his mother died, he wasn’t ready to accept the change of a new mother. And Mahito felt as though he didn’t fit in the life he was experiencing, which caused more burden on his current situation. So he had emotional trauma that then turned into physical trauma. And the 13 blocks represents Miyazaki's 13 movies. And the granduncle asking Mahito to continue his work was representing Miyazaki trying to find a successor to continue with the Ghibli legacy. And How do you Live was probably a question to the audience. The movie is basically showing us that there won't be any other Miyazaki, and that other animators must choose their own path instead of continuing someone else's work. And all good things must come to an end, no matter how hard we try. The world breaking apart, the granduncle being swept away in the destruction, and the tower collapsing was probably hinting that Ghibli will most likely die once Miyazaki pass away
It’s English dub has one of the largest celebrity casts I’ve ever seen. *Christian Bale *Gemma Chan *Robert Pattinson *Dave Bautista *Mark Hamill *Florence Pugh *Willem Dafoe Studio Ghibli really brought out a lot of the biggest names in Hollywood.
The boy and the heron really is a reminder why studio ghibli movies do feel like a major event, when they release. The story is pretty engaging, having a bit of an Alice in wonderland/spirited away vibes mix with my neighbor Totoro, although it can be a bit slow at some parts during the first act. The characters are interesting with the title characters being well developed. The animation is incredible, and voice cast is stacked. Although I will say it may require some rewatching and some time to think, It was still an amazing experience. 9/10
The main character himself is Hayao Miyazaki and the bird man is his producer, Toshio Suzuki. The woman who controls the boat is his former companion named Michiyo Yasuda. Finally, the old man with the white hair and beard is Isao Takahata, whom Hayao Miyazaki has always admired. This story is about Isao Takahata as a person in the course of Hayao Miyazaki's life. Hayao Miyazaki is an existence that has not been recognized by Isao Takahata, but has followed his shadow to this point, in a state of one-sided respect. However, he passed away suddenly, and finally, until the very end, we did not know what kind of person Isao Takahata was to Hayao Miyazaki. Once Hayao Miyazaki decided to retire, but after Isao Takahata passed away, he decided to make films once again. That is what this film is about. This film is a grand love letter. This has all been revealed in a Japanese documentary program.
Most Japanese people could not understand this movie. Hayao Miyazaki is a genius, so each and every scene is filled with deep meaning, but it cannot be understood without a great deal of culture and knowledge. This is a work of art, not entertainment, so you should watch it with the same feeling as going to see paintings at an art museum.
He's also reminding.Japanese male youth to be careful about romanticizing USA culture, as that is to forget about its absolutely destructive foreign policy. There are scenes that are clearly depicting america in a very negative way. Essentially showing through the artwork , a symbolic american flag , which later dropa bombs of fury on innocent child , which are represented by the puffy cute things. He even criticizes Jewish influence in his Representation of the bird man,. The bird represents so many things that. Each interpretation of the bird Leads you on a different story, With a similar overarching message But also different lessons. Bird as jews, The bird man who is drawn like a Japanese cartoon version of a jewish person/ tengu , With the nose. = Criticism of israel But he humanizes jewish people Bird as hope. Remember the bird tells the boy that his mother is alive when she is dead. Any childhood who loses his mother knows what this feels like. i assume he assumes this. Hope is what drives you but hope can make you believe in false things. Yet miyazaki Is capable of Humanizing all characters as individuals and this is clearly reflected in some of the scenes. Even transgender peoplem.The fact is this type of visual art must be seen.That's half of the story. He is not a novelist.Novelists are the supreme Artists with the highest I q.
@@00Julian00OK bro. I think you got too far. It's just a cartoon for children And like they said there is no need to understand it, like a painting that must be pleased to look at it and try not to figure it out
@jackhilton4285 It is a cartoon for children that is to be watched with Parents so it is a movie for adults as well. The man is almost ninety Obviousl He has something to say to adults, But of course , children are future so you must make a movie for them first
@@jackhilton4285 OK bro. This is not cartoon for children. This is just an animated film for everyone. But this wasn't made with children in mind. Not at all. Not all cartoons are for children and this is one of those.
As steejo said: people watchings this film will never see parakeets in the same way again. And that is for me exactly what the parakeets symbolize: the power of imagination and dreams and the lasting impact they have on the way we perceive the world
The Parakeets (including the Parakeet King) also symbolize the wrath and violence that plagues humanity. Their aggression and menacing behaviour mirror the brutality of conflict between humans.🦜🦜
33:51 I forgot what it says. All i know is that book was left to him by Mahito's mother before she died. And another fact. That book Mahito reads is called "How do you live?" And the Japanese title of The Boy and the Heron is How do you live, but it's not an adaptation of the book. Edit: the message in the book says "To grown-up Mahito. From Mother. 1937 Autum"
I think this movie's plot has much ivolved to John Conally's "The Book of Lost Things" The plot is perfectly from the story. I think it's not autobiography but an English child book.
I'm go happy that you reacted to this movie!! It was my first studio jiblie movie I've watched at the cinema! This is my favorite movie yet. I loved the calming vibe from the movie..
Just watched it with family and genuinely surprised a lot of people claim they didn't understand? Or at least took anything away from it? Nothing at all? Strange.
Well immediately I knew you guys wouldn't take anything from the movie, just from your confusion with the translation and context clues. Shame. So many questions raised answered without thought.
This definitely deserved the Best Animated Feature Academy Award without a doubt. After seeing this reaction, I'm gonna have to grab my copy, & maybe get Nausicaä & Kiki in the process. I hope you check out Ultraman Rising when you get the chance.
I'm so glad you reviewed this movie. Unfortunately I cannot answer some of the questions you asked because I'm stumped myself. But I think it was that rock to the head that got him thinking strange thoughts. When he was in the forbidden delivery room and his stepmom said I Hate You, I have a feeling that maybe those were his projected thoughts and not her character. Because she did bring him tea and later was apologetic that she didn't protect him.
About your budgies doubt at the end: The parakeets are symbolically the embodiment of fascist imperial Japan during the time of the war. Parakeets mimic human voices, so they mimic people and their brutality in the film. In the way that Japan needed to do away with their old ways and enter into a new age. In the film we see them as fascists. They even call their king as "DUCH" which references "Duce" the way Mussolini was called in Italy. In the original storyboard of the film you can see a note by Miyazaki that confirms this.
(59:27) that was the voice of willem dafoe who was the green goblin in Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man, gill from finding nemo and the old scary wizard from tales from earthsea another ghibli but not directed by hayao Miyazaki it’s directed by his son Goro Miyazaki from 2006 he also directed from up on poppy hill in 2011 and again in earwig and the witch Ghibli’s first 3D animated movie but very hated on because of the animation highly recommend watching those 3 ghibli movies when you have time
17:58 "taken" usually mean in an other-worldly way in a lot of culture including mine. That's why they tell us to not wander off or get lost in forests and foliages so some mythical creature doesn't take us.
BTW, I just found out that Miyazaki made a twelve part 45:43 tv series in 1978 called Future Boy Conan. The characters so much resemble the 1986 movie Castle In The Sky. Future Boy Conan is so Ghibli looking. The artwork and story are Studio Ghibli quality. I thought I'd mention it since you have reacted to many Ghibli films already. You may want to consider Future Boy Conan as a possibility for future reaction. I'd be curious to know both of your thoughts.
Ghibli movies for you to watch during your Christmas 2024 special: Only yesterday Nausicca of the valley of the wind Tale of the princess kaguya From upon poppy hill Tales from earthsea
I love this movie especially the dubbed one There are a lot of Actors involved in it but what is most interesting is the presence of the voices of Willem Dafoe and Batista
@@IsomerSoma Not only that, the movie’s filled with western culture: Mahito’s journey itself is a clear reference to Dante’s “Divine Comedy”, the cemetery is a reference to Böcklin’s “Isle of the dead”, the architecture of the tower, both inside and out, are very much European... Things like that
I may be late to the party but I think there's an explanation for the whole marrying the sister and replacing the mother and even for the way the bullying was handled: It's a cultural diference. It's a thing in japan, I think, tho I am not Japanese myself, you'd have to look it up or ask a japanese person, I just read the Barefeet comics, wich are a testimony from a survivor of the war in japan, and aparently during the war, when many families were being torn apart, people took to each other to mend them. "my son is dead. This little boy has lost his mother. I am his mother now" there was even the instance where a whole neighborhood took care of a baby as if she stood for all the lost relatives to give themselves hope for the future. She was everyone's niece- daughter- granddaughter... In a time of war, when such an empty space is left by a loved one, and the entire family structure was torn, it must have been a kindness: We need someone to take the place of his mother, her sister needs a husband, this is how the family stays strong at such a dangerous time, how the house gets passed down, the family stays together... there's just no time to mourn. For us it can seem disrespectful but it was just another time, another culture and in very diferent circunstances. There's also this way of seeing gifts as a debt. When someone gives you something you have to somehow respond in equality, and if you can't do that you allways own them, and if you respond with somehting much more precious then you are shaming them. When the father says "daddy will avenge you" he means it. It's a japanese thing. And when he says "oh I just gave them 300 yen" that's a power move. He's saying "I am pissed you got my boy injured and I could do a lot worse but guess what? I can afford this. Can you?" and now that school is allways in debt with him and they have to look away for whatever the boy does. The whole thing with the meiji restoration is also fascinating, but this coment is long enough as it is.
Maybe consider watching Hayao Miyazaki's first feature length film: "Nausicaa: The Valley of the Wind" Its real great, it originated from a comic book (Manga) and would be a Grade A+ to watch.
Can u guys watch mary and the witches flower its so so good trust me i watch it was good and i like marys broomstick really much so please watch mary and the witches flower❤
Deeply unpopular take: The Boy and the Heron feels like pieces from the cutting floor of every other Miyazaki movie swept up and pasted together into a "new" movie. Or, to put it even more egregiously, it feels like if you asked an AI to write a Miyazaki movie. My shields are up.
I take the movie on more for Miyazaki to make an excuse to such make a film do express his creative mind and crazy worlds he wants to build. With giving a fairly simple story that doesnt go that complex or that clear.
That's not an unpopular take. That's a dumb take.. If you think this is written by AI then you have deeply insulted the real people who worked on it, people with who put more thought into it than you did writing this comment. If you really want to see a seemingly written by. AI movie then watch Disney's Wish. The literal 100 year anniversary motion picture.

Still so hard to believe that the Gray Heron is Robert Pattinson, he should really have more voice acting roles.
I honestly agree 💯 I knew he voiced the heron but I couldn’t recognise his voice at all!
He needs to do a lot more voice acting!

This one was kind of like a hybrid of Howl’s Moving Castle, Spirited Away, and Castle in the Sky.
And it worked!
And princess monokoke with the talking animals
Just watched it with family and genuinely surprised a lot of people claim they didn't understand? Or at least took anything away from it? Nothing at all? Strange.
So Mahito’s new step mother is also his aunt (his mother’s sister). My mother said that was quite common to remarry someone in the family.
This story is for mature people have experience in life n looking back in times what destiny is all about.
Well immediately I knew you guys wouldn't take anything from the movie, just from your confusion with the translation and context clues. Shame. So many questions raised answered without thought.
The Boy and the Heron 2023 just like anime Ghibli that produces of Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, Ponyo and Arrietty!

You guys should react to Only Yesterday. It's an underrated Ghibli movie
Thanks for your recomendation, Ive just watched it and totally love it.
The movie gave me spirited away vibes
SAME, like a strange building, Spirited world and the paper scene, Spirited Away vibes...

I love your ghibli reaction so so much. You should definetly see from up on poppy hill or whisper of the heart next
I'll check it out!
(1:21:37) this is the parakeet king’s parade they are trying to rescue himi
Try think about uncle in the movie actually is Hayao Miyazaki.

This film is outstanding. A masterpiece. 😍
I’ve fun your reaction videos always in Japan!!!
Thank you💖
Despite being Miyazaki’s, this movie has a surprising amount of western cultural references
It asthetically references "Heidi" at one point as miyazaki directed it (southern german atire, food and housing of the alps). Do you mean this?

"Nausicaa: The Valley of the Wind"
Its real great, it originated from a comic book (Manga) and would be a Grade A+ to watch.
Lupin the Third: The Castle of Cagliostro: Am I joke to you?
Oh yeah. That one.
and?
My grandma remarried my grandpa brother when my grandpa passed away
Is quite common thing tho
I love studio ghibli

The spirit people are back
Definably got to give this a watch.
I love this movie
Why do yall call the heron a fish??
Hi Suzy and Steejo 😊
9:09 trust me, it delivered better in Japanese. Doesn't make any less uncomfortable to Mahito. But still didn't sound as lax as how it did in english.
Himai is a beautiful name
I love it has a slow burn but it is worth it cuz it felt like howls moving castle
Hi suzy please reply please I think you're a really cool person and It would be really cool to hear from you

Who is the boy?!
Who is the heron?!
They need two like buttons
You guys were literally getting lost in translation over your own language lol
Who is the girl?
Giant fish
You should watch studio ponoc if you can.
7:00 eh you know that the germans werent the ones bombing japan right?
