I watched the film in the cinema last week, and I can say it was generally mediocre. I have always respected Miyazaki's extraordinary imagination, but in this film, he did the same things again. I don't know if it's his trademark, but in some of Miyazaki's films, he only shows a certain part of the world he creates and finishes the movie without fully explaining the plot. It's as if we've entered a different universe for a short time and are watching random events that happen to occur. Nothing is specifically explained to us.
Yes, it has always been enjoyable to watch the worlds created by Miyazaki's extraordinary imagination, but it bothers me that he finishes his films without filling in the gaps in the story. He did this partially in Howl's Moving Castle as well. By the way, this universe he created didn't draw me in as much as his other films did.
Miyazaki's latest film can't even make it among the best. It lacks the awe-inspiring qualities of films like Castle in the Sky and Princess Mononoke. Still, it's a Miyazaki classic with its detailed animations and wonderful music. Although I experienced some disappointment, thank you for everything, Miyazaki.
