Horror of horrors. What you guys just said made the movie even more heart-rending for me. I totally agree with your opinions. I had forgotten about cultural differences and the like.
Still, I've only ever watched it once and it's now sitting somewhere at home and I really can't watch it again. And I've forgotten quite a bit of it already, but the message about the horrors of war still lingers. Of course, as you may have inferred from my post above, I come from a different culture and family background. An adult doing something like his aunt did, I would find absolutely revolting and despicable, by my own intepretation of cutural mores and values. But taken in the context of WW2 Japan and Japanese culture in general, I guess it was "acceptable". I shall withdraw my opinions about the aunt and keep them to myself. |

I thought we are discussing favorite anime movie, aren't we? 
Or are we? 
IMHO Mononoke Hime is much better than Nausicaä (movie) because there is no simple right-or-wrong, just like Nausicaä manga. Either human or the mononoke are pursuing one simple goal: survival, thus neither side shall be blamed. The plot of Nausicaä movie was a bit too simple compared with its manga version. |

When you consider that the manga was done over a period of many years, with quite a long lapse in between. I felt maybe that Miyazaki had time to work on the story a little more. The movie was really too condensed and too straight forward. One of the reasons I didn't list it as my favourite. I liked Kiki instead. At least the story is simple and for a good reason. |

Nor mine (Schindler's List). From the anime films I've seen so far it would either be Grave of the Fireflies or Jin-Roh. |

I really liked Perfect Blue. It was interesting to see the slow deconstruction of one's mind with such intensity. And because it was animated (as with all animated films), the "filmakers" aren't held back by technology or actor's concerns.

My all-time favorite movies are Grave of the Fireflies and Spirited Away. Princess Mononoke and Kiki's Delivery Service were great too.
