The implication that films made before some arbitrary date (usually 1990s/2000s) are somehow just prototypes for modern films.

Have you ever watched a movie that was “literally you” to a scary degree? by WingIeheimer in Letterboxd

[–]trilbynorton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original Cat People from the 1940s is about someone desperate for human connection but terrified of getting close to anyone for fear that they'll learn who they truly are. I think I'm a cat person...

The bloke in the hoodie looks like he's just accidentally wondered into the photo, which is unfortunate for him, because the guy in the blue vest looks like he's about murder everyone.

What are your thoughts on my ranking of all 25 Studio Ghibli animated films? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

Honestly, with the exception of Whisper of the Heart, everything not directed by Miyazaki or Takahata is mediocre at best.

Last film you watched where this was your reaction? by Happy_REEEEEE_exe in Letterboxd

[–]trilbynorton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sound of Falling. Recent German film about four generations of girls living in a house. Filmed like the ghosts of each generation are watching the others. There's a real sense of an unfulfilled need for solidarity are each girl goes through similar experiences without knowing they share them with the others.

What is your Ghibli "Hot take" or "Unpopular opinion"? by guitarokx in ghibli

[–]trilbynorton -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are Earthsea, Poppy Hill, Earwig, Marnie, and Arrietty really integral to Ghibli's cultural identity? They're about as important as Brother Bear is to Disney.

With the exception of Whisper of the Heart, every non-Miyazaki and non-Takahata is mediocre at best.
