i felt like this had slightly less of the charm that 1937 had (i have to say i missed fredric march) but it did have judy garland in one of the most incredible performances i’ve seen which more than made up for it!
there’s something about the hollywood commentary in a hollywood movie, the beauty of filmmaking and the sensitive way tragedy is handled that means i’ll always be a fan of both versions.
although it would have been amazing to have grown up watching studio ghibli films— it’s been a completely magic experiencing them as an adult. this was so immersive and captivating, i couldn’t take my eyes off the screen— the world building is so beautifully done. i can already feel this one lingering & i can’t wait to experience it again.
added to 2023 first watches; ranked.
i’ve never been so excited, so happy, so shocked, so emotional and so heartbroken in the space of three hours before in my life. i don’t think i can sum up how much this universe has meant to me since i saw first captain america; the first avenger in the cinema eight years ago & although deep down i know endgame wasn’t a perfect film, that doesn’t seem to matter much right now because i loved it with all my heart.
i can confirm that this is the perfect film to watch when you’re on your period & feeling sorry for yourself, thank you brie!!! 🌈⚡️✨
