00:04:33 ◼   ► this movie definitely sets the tone for [TS]

00:04:35 ◼   ► it and is one of my favorite things and [TS]

00:04:38 ◼   ► i think i may like the opening better [TS]

00:04:39 ◼   ► than the rest of this entire movie [TS]

00:04:41 ◼   ► combined so we just sit here and dwell [TS]

00:04:43 ◼   ► on that for a while i agree with [TS]

00:04:46 ◼   ► everything John said except for the [TS]

00:04:48 ◼   ► unfortunate fact that we start with the [TS]

00:04:50 ◼   ► Pirates and therefore we get joe [TS]

00:04:51 ◼   ► hisaishi she's pirate theme which is [TS]

00:04:54 ◼   ► really not good [TS]

00:04:56 ◼   ► it's unbelievably eighties very kind of [TS]

00:05:03 ◼   ► have synth music that has kind of an [TS]

00:05:05 ◼   ► epic feel to it that feels lush and this [TS]

00:05:07 ◼   ► particular theme does not it's a it's [TS]

00:05:10 ◼   ► it's kind of a dull thud of a music cue [TS]

00:05:13 ◼   ► which is unfortunate because all the the [TS]

00:05:16 ◼   ► orchestral stuff with the opening theme [TS]

00:05:18 ◼   ► and everything else is really beautiful [TS]

00:05:20 ◼   ► and well done and this just sticks out [TS]

00:05:21 ◼   ► like a sore thumb and unfortunately it [TS]

00:05:23 ◼   ► opens up the movie also your first [TS]

00:05:25 ◼   ► impression of this film is as I wrote in [TS]

00:05:26 ◼   ► my notes a clown and some guys and [TS]

00:05:28 ◼   ► jumpsuits takeover Zeppelin it's got my [TS]

00:05:33 ◼   ► castle kali-aastra kind of feel to it [TS]

00:05:34 ◼   ► and no we haven't done that one yet but [TS]

00:05:36 ◼   ► it's in that vein of like sort of [TS]

00:05:38 ◼   ► nineteen thirties or forties stylized [TS]

00:05:40 ◼   ► cartoon-like all the characters they [TS]

00:05:44 ◼   ► look more or less human but they sort of [TS]

00:05:46 ◼   ► do squashes and stretches if they're [TS]

00:05:47 ◼   ► learning to his characters in many [TS]

00:05:48 ◼   ► regards like even when the door is [TS]

00:05:50 ◼   ► bursting in when they come to the door [TS]

00:05:51 ◼   ► the door bends and bulges in a cartoony [TS]

00:05:55 ◼   ► way but then shatters into [TS]

00:05:56 ◼   ► realistic-looking fragments is weird [TS]

00:05:58 ◼   ► that the end is weird balance between if [TS]

00:06:01 ◼   ► you take any individual grip frame like [TS]

00:06:03 ◼   ► this is a realistically animated movie [TS]

00:06:04 ◼   ► but if you happen to catch them in the [TS]

00:06:06 ◼   ► middle of one of their cartoon physics [TS]

00:06:07 ◼   ► things it's it's strange the Pirates are [TS]

00:06:13 ◼   ► semi-realistic guns with bullets in them [TS]

00:06:16 ◼   ► but totally comical and the the audio [TS]

00:06:19 ◼   ► impression that I get yes the Pirates a [TS]

00:06:20 ◼   ► goofy and you have that that stuff in [TS]

00:06:22 ◼   ► the beginning but the sound that opens [TS]

00:06:24 ◼   ► the film and the theme i think that [TS]

00:06:27 ◼   ► opens the film is yeah basically [TS]

00:06:29 ◼   ► miyazaki love flying machines flying [TS]

00:06:31 ◼   ► machines make weird noises like this one [TS]

00:08:57 ◼   ► sky technology which we had already seen [TS]

00:08:59 ◼   ► quite a bit of so you know there was no [TS]

00:09:02 ◼   ► real reason to not assume that that was [TS]

00:09:04 ◼   ► just present time you got my attention [TS]

00:09:05 ◼   ► is a progression it's like the montage [TS]

00:09:07 ◼   ► in journey in the game journey it's [TS]

00:09:08 ◼   ► almost the same time on tosh brand new i [TS]

00:09:11 ◼   ► had had seen now she has so many times [TS]

00:09:13 ◼   ► that that's it's the same same kind of [TS]

00:09:15 ◼   ► thing I mean it's not exactly a woodcut [TS]

00:09:17 ◼   ► but it's giving you sort of that the [TS]

00:09:18 ◼   ► history so as soon as this started I was [TS]

00:09:20 ◼   ► like oh I see I see where this is going [TS]

00:09:22 ◼   ► alright and paying attention the other [TS]

00:09:24 ◼   ► thing i like most about the opening and [TS]

00:09:25 ◼   ► it's actually for the thing I like most [TS]

00:09:26 ◼   ► about the first half hour of the of the [TS]

00:09:29 ◼   ► movie is the way it kind of toys with [TS]

00:09:31 ◼   ► your assumptions because the first time [TS]

00:09:33 ◼   ► through I just sort of assumed that the [TS]

00:09:35 ◼   ► the man that she was traveling within [TS]

00:09:37 ◼   ► the glasses was her father and the [TS]

00:09:40 ◼   ► Pirates were straight up the bad guys [TS]

00:09:42 ◼   ► and I didn't notice the subtle touches [TS]

00:09:45 ◼   ► like how she's refusing her dinner yeah [TS]

00:09:47 ◼   ► he puts the plate towards her and she [TS]

00:09:49 ◼   ► just turns the head he shoves look very [TS]

00:09:51 ◼   ► subtle animation again in a movie where [TS]

00:09:52 ◼   ► things get completely cartoonish very [TS]

00:09:54 ◼   ► soon and even that same scene and when [TS]

00:09:56 ◼   ► she constant with the bottle i just [TS]

00:09:58 ◼   ► assumed well it's because he's trying to [TS]

00:09:59 ◼   ► protect her and she knows that he's [TS]

00:10:01 ◼   ► gonna get killed if he protects her so [TS]

00:10:03 ◼   ► she's shocked him and knock him out [TS]

00:10:05 ◼   ► take the crystal that she knows the [TS]

00:10:07 ◼   ► Pirates want she's gonna head out and [TS]

00:10:08 ◼   ► and and save her father you got your [TS]

00:10:11 ◼   ► Hall the movie run your mom yeah a lot [TS]

00:10:13 ◼   ► of sense [TS]

00:10:14 ◼   ► well I did you know it'sit's tropes that [TS]

00:10:15 ◼   ► I'm used to seeing in this sort of thing [TS]

00:10:16 ◼   ► you know and and so I was going with [TS]

00:10:19 ◼   ► that assumption until actually 30 [TS]

00:10:20 ◼   ► minutes in when they finally revealed [TS]

00:10:22 ◼   ► that she is afraid of the guy when he [TS]

00:10:23 ◼   ► appears so I thought it was really cool [TS]

00:10:26 ◼   ► very well done and and and more [TS]

00:10:28 ◼   ► effective than perhaps it was to anybody [TS]

00:10:30 ◼   ► else because i'm an idiot talking about [TS]

00:10:33 ◼   ► sheet for a second because it you know [TS]

00:10:35 ◼   ► within the miyazaki heroines are not so [TS]

00:10:37 ◼   ► popular a lot of movies you watch and [TS]

00:10:47 ◼   ► is it's kind of a split type thing i'm [TS]

00:10:50 ◼   ► not sure you can see the lead but she [TS]

00:10:53 ◼   ► does our main character but she is [TS]

00:10:55 ◼   ► immediately you know falling to her [TS]

00:10:57 ◼   ► seeming death but on a subsequent [TS]

00:11:00 ◼   ► viewings i watched I've seen that she [TS]

00:11:02 ◼   ► does she actually does most of the [TS]

00:11:05 ◼   ► things that heroin does is just like Oh [TS]

00:11:08 ◼   ► heroin in the movie like her little [TS]

00:11:11 ◼   ► friend so she's she's prisoner and can't [TS]
