Of course, I think OP just saw the taglines that referenced it and wasn’t aware of the actual community posts. I’m one of the leads of the Community Team, so could, naturally, tell you more, haha. Thanks for subbing!

I found this Reddit comment that I think explains the movie pretty well. I agree it can go over your head easy but this makes the most sense to me and is closest to how I felt about it.

I’d definitely recommend seeing it. It’s really nothing like Spirited Away outside of both having a kid going into another world. The themes have some crossover but are not really the same.
Well I very much enjoyed it. It’s perhaps Miyazaki’s most beautiful film. There’s so much detail and the animation is top notch. I was particularly impressed with the sound design.
I saw the English Dub, since I’ve never watched any Ghibli film dubbed before and this has a stacked cast. Ill rewatch it in Japanese at some point. They were all great, especially the kid who plays Mahito, Luca Padovan. Christian Bale, while good, felt a little like he was in a different movie with his regional American accent he was doing, that no one else did. Robert Pattinson’s voice was completely unrecognizable and I continue to praise him despite all the people hating on him because they only know him from Twilight.
The themes of getting over grief/anger are present like a lot of Ghibli films and they are done so well here. Well deserving to be Miyazaki’s last film and a great addition to his legacy.
IMO, on the Game Awards where it was announced, he looked extremely nervous to say much of anything. And he seemed like he was trying to downplay what the game has with his comments on it being a small team working on it. Which I don’t blame him.
Thank you for taking care of your community!

I can’t unhear the silly USA network censoring after having watched so many times.
Awesome! They have great chemistry and I love that they don’t always agree on movies. Gives a good variety of opinions. Jeff Cannata also does a podcast called DLC, as well as a interesting science podcast called We Have Concerns, if you’re into those at all.

Nice, someone commented veteran pricing that’s $20 a year, which I qualify for, so definitely going to try it out. Thanks!
Oh wow, thanks for this! I’m a veteran and $20 a year is awesome! I do the same, mostly just making things around the house. I don’t really upload them though, because most things I make are super custom to my needs.
Added you.
And no, I post every one manually. I do use https://schedule.lemmings.world/ to schedule them in advance and automatically pin/unpin though. Unfortunately we still don’t have any advanced tools in Lemmy yet. Thanks for volunteering!
