When almost all of the human-made structures on Laputa fall into the sea, Muska can be seen falling along with many of the Laputan robots. It can be presumed that Muska was either killed during the destruction of the Laputan ruins, or drowned after he fell.

.... anyway this is how i just cling to "i dont let my favs die" yeah we can assume shit but what if i do something Different... tho theres sure a post to be made about all of that, because i can give this man some more trauma as a treat

[templeofshame]

personally, my favourite ghibli movie is castle in the sky. the music, the locations, the sky pirates, the laputan robot...

Oh man I love me some Laputa! I think it’s my favorite aesthetic, although Nausicaa is up there too aesthetically. Honestly, Laputa was probably my favorite for most of my childhood, although I felt like I was supposed to like Kiki better because it was my Christmas present (Laputa was my sibling’s) and then Totoro was more mainstream in some way, and merchandised and all.

It’s hard for me to really compare these movies that were so formative in my life and have such great things to recommend themselves. There have been times in my life when Princess Mononoke was my favorite, or Spirited Away. (And there are still some gaps in my Ghibli viewing.) But Laputa is definitely top tier. I thrifted a pageboy hat because of Laputa. Probably a lot of my aesthetic comes from crumbling castles and tree roots and ancient robots, actually.

Rebelcaptain AU | Castle In The Sky

Abducted by a government agent named Krennic, Jyn’s life becomes pointless in his airship until a group of air pirates, Partisans, led by Saw Gerrera, attacks and as a result, Jyn falls from the airship. But her descent is slowed by the mysterious power from her crystal necklace and she lands on a small mining town and is discovered by a miner named Cassian Andor, who takes her to his home to recover.

The next morning, Cassian tells to her about how he can find her and a mysterious floating island named Laputa which is visible in a picture by Cassian’s father. Later, they are pursued by Partisans and then Krennic’s soldiers. They choose to fall to an old mining and the crystal shines again and they float safely to the mine.

There, they find an eccentric local man named Yoda who explains to them that Jyn’s necklace is made from a kyber crystal, a material used to keep Laputa city flying aloft. And Yoda tells her that Jyn is one of Laputa royals because only members of royal family can keep kyber crystals.

Unfortunately, Jyn is captured by Krennic and Cassian also captured by Partisans. Saw tells him that Krennic and his cronies will find Laputa and there’s a possibilty that Krennic will kill Jyn.

Cassian determines to save her and joins the Partisans. Meanwhile Jyn is scared because she recites the deadly mantra to activate a Laputan robot. Before Krennic could kill her, Cassian and Partisans come and rescue her. But, Krennic takes her necklace and will use it to find Laputa and activates his Laputan robots armies and rule the world.

Can they save the world from Krennic?

DAY 25: Final inktober! (I missed one) Laputan robot from #castleinthesky #miyazaki #laputa #inktober2017

[tomorrowwoman]

Saw Castle in the Sky for the first time ever yesterday. It was the subbed version, so alas no Mark Hamill as the villainous Muska (apparently he plays him in the dub).

Watching it it’s pretty clear to me that it borrowed a fair bit from other media while also inspiring quite a bit as well.

Made in 1986 one of the more chilling scenes in CiTS has a robot covered in flames unharmed but looking a bi worse for wear. Yep… 2 years after the first Terminator film did so in its iconic scenes. 9unless that happened in the second Terminator. I can’t remember, think it was the first)

It certainly also I’m guessing inspired Disney’s Atlantis the Lost Empire a great deal. Between the royal main characters and their blue crystals that float and in turn allow their user to float as well as access the technology of an ancient forgotten land.

Now the story itself while very Ghibli/Miyazaki is extremely vague. It’s hard to say what the world IS exactly in it.

The early opening montage plays with the idea that humanity essentially ruined the planet in its scientific endeavors eventually having many create their own dozens if not hundreds of floating islands. This is basically said to be untrue as the film goes on however. Later in the film it’s also heaviliy implied that the world of CiTS is either an alternate present or future mentioning the real life Christian myth of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Ultimately the apparent story is that 700 years ago Laputa was a civilization that ruled the entire world and eventually some form of infighting and cruel love of power led to apparent internal strife. Sadly Miyazaki seems to miss a rather bit plot point that this means as Sheeta is a descendant of the royal family that her family was the one that brought such destruction and cruel intentions to the world. Muska another royal descendant seems to be purposefully created to be the Laputans at their cruelest.

Like with many Miyazaki films a LOT is left open to question. The ending itself shows us that the Laputan Castle in the Sky isn’t going anywhere and that while it’s away from humans for NOW it’s still in reach and in a way less protected than it was at the start of the films story.

So our film leaves us in an oddly crapsack world overall. Humans will be able to reach Laputa again someday and quite likely use its powers negatively yet again. Though understandable given everything that happens Sheeta’s own decisions (along with Pazu) to leave Laputa, in all truth have probably doomed Earth (or will someday) as only she really understands it to any degree outside of say Muska.

Similarly the Earth seems to be running out of specific resources IE tin and aluminum (or was it copper) implying even the Earth itself has been pushed to its limits with humanity. It is interesting that a film about reconnecting to nature so it can provide for you an the future generations also plays up the mining town as a cute eco-healthy thing given how bad mines are for wildlife, clean water etc… overall.

Besides the friendly birds and the verdant forest background, there are other, more subtle visual parallels between robot and saint, including the gentle demeanor, the moss mantle that echoes the draped hood of a friar, the dark, somber eyes, and even the bald pate. Though it is too much to say that the robot is intended to be a Laputan Francis, Miyazaki's familiarity with Italian culture makes it unlikely that the resemblance is accidental – his studio, Ghibli, is named after an Italian plane from World War II, and his landscapes often evoke Provence, Tuscany, and other Mediterranean locales. What the Francis parallel amounts to, in ecotopian terms, is a figure that reconciles culture to nature and to spirit after the collapse of empire. Francis – whose preaching to birds and beasts is one of the most popular medieval elements in contemporary Christianity and whose naming of other creatures as brothers and sisters is admired beyond the bounds of the Church – represents the possibility that the Western ideology of dominion over nature can be overcome with materials native to European culture itself. Seen in this light, the robot represents a restored relationship of technology to nature when the human impulse towards warfare and destruction is overcome. In a stunning reversal of creator and image, the robot represents what humanity can become when war is set aside as the end of civilization. It is not for nothing that a famous Franciscan prayer begins, "Make me an instrument of peace."

30 day Studio Ghibli challenge: ↳ Day 15 → Favourite moment

Laputan Robot rescuing the little bird eggs in Laputa: Castle in the Sky. There are plenty of flawless moments in Ghibli movies and I kind of just went ahead and picked a single one. This may not be my favourite moment out of all the Ghibli movies (because i legit couldn't pick one), but it is indeed a perfect little moment in the movie. It is just a super cute yeah :)
