The Red Turtle

Not enough turtle imo… skip

What studio ghibli film is not good? This minimalist take is a silent meditation on our need for others, time and nature’s relentlessness

Not sure what I just watched. A guy impregnated a turtle (after killing it), neglected his (half turtle) son. He gets saved by his son and doesn’t even say thank you and then his son commits suicide (probably because the years of neglect)

There were touching moments, but weird

🫎🫎🫎1/2

13th film for my Studio Ghibli class.

Even though there was no dialogue you could indicate the French influence from the animation.

Idk what the red turtle symbolized, but the CGI was meh.

Anyway, I’m impressed with the story this told with no dialogue

I still don’t get how after he killed her, she apparently fell for him and they had a kid…
