One of the best films ever made.
Gonna come right out and say it. It was better than Spirited Away.
While Spirited Away is definitely more epic and has a lot more ideas to it, Totoro has a lot more heart and personality. For the first time in a long time I can genuinely say I feel like a kid again and I can’t thank this film enough for giving me that feeling. There were many times as a kid, and even now, where I just wanted someTHING, anything, to help me in a lonely or difficult situation. Totoro representing that thing was perfect and everything I needed. I feel so not alone and so comforted right now.
I love you Miyazaki.
I love how Totoro calls the cat bus for Satsuki and then he's like "Alright, I ain't getting on that shit, my work here is done, peace"
netflix recommending the boss baby to me after this finished is like showing someone the mona lisa and then telling them to look at a pile of shit
I honestly don't know what just happened..
This film is about me, you, my childhood, my children, your children, your future children, my unborn child, your childhood, magic, love, family, innocence, nature, compassion and everything in between. It's about none of these things and it's about all of them.
But mostly it's about me.
And I'm having a really hard time describing how deep a chord this film struck. So I'll turn to my other passion, music, and let smarter people evoke the feeling it gave me (song is here).
Is this the best animated movie ever made? I don't know.
Is it the best animated movie I've ever seen? Without a shadow of a doubt.
broke: buses, cars, airplanes, boats, trains, metros, subways, lyfts, ubers
woke: catbus
and then there's my neighbor who cheats on his wife and files noise complaints
I loved Totoro so much that by the end of the movie I had lost all desire to eat him
