Pop Culture Thoughts

Rating: 6/10 (1 December 2018)

Maybe I'm just not a big fan of Hayao Miyazaki's work, because as much as I love the visuals in his work, his movies never seem to register with me. That trend continues with "My Neighbor Totoro" after disappointing experiences with "Spirited Away" and "Ponyo" - while I find the animation and music absolutely gorgeous and charming, Miyaaki's narratives leave me indifferent and rather bored, even though I find a few moments entertaining here and there. Just not my jam I guess.
