The Boy and the Heron

After watching this I suggest going to YouTube and watching a video explanation.I feel like this was a great last film for studio ghibli and gives the fans closure since it represents Miyazaki and the ending of his career. Very cute and magical movie with lots of meaning

I feel like you have to know a lot about Hayao Miyazaki before watching this. But also it’s up to you how you interpret the message of the movie. I absolutely loved it and would love to see it again. I would say it’s one of my top Ghibli movies!

It's not the best studio ghibli movie that's out there but I do like the small references from some of the previous films.

However, time to time I thought that the storyline was a bit of and it didn't have a particular message. Other than that the movie was entertaining and…

2½/5
Painfully boring throughout most of the movie, but it was alright.

C’est mélangé mélangé

I was literally talking to my partner earlier about the nature of grief. That it's okay to move on. It's okay to forget.

There's no use in feeling guilty about it. There's no point in choosing one of two extremes: staying put or forgetting.
