i had a dream where etho accidentally called bdubs 'john' on stream,, and in retaliation bdubs said 'yes horace'..... and that's how we found out etho's real name is freaking. Horace.
One concrete thought I have about The Boy and The Heron is that i believe the core of the story is Mahito overcoming the loss and grief of losing his mother and his home and life, and- after spending the latter half of the movie navigating a between space where souls exist before they’re born as well as other spirits- When Mahito re-emerges with his stepmother, they too are both reborn.
One other thing I’ll have to address later: so much of this film (and The Wind Rises as well!) resonates deeper after watching The Never Ending Man, the doc that came out in 2016 about Hayao Miyazaki. Knowing about losing his mother young, about looking up to strong women, about his father building airplanes and those filling him with wonder until WWII hit and they became tools of war. Knowing about how he views the world, used to view the world, and how he hopes to leave it; how he’s baffled death has not claimed him yet but taken everyone else- god, all of it informs so much of his movies especially his most recent ones. I’m so emo about this man.
This website makes me feel insane sometimes. “I stand with jewish people” you just reblogged a post saying we’re behind everything bad in the world. “Call me out if I ever say something antisemitic” you just posted that we should get over a pogrom. “I’m not antisemitic” you would not recognize antisemitism if it was a nazi talking to you for hours at a protest
