5 Reasons Why Should You Watch Ghibli Movies
Those who have watched movies created by Studio Ghibli will all agree in unison that Ghibli films have made their life more beautiful. Although its popularity is not as great as Disney's, which is a household name worldwide, Studio Ghibli has successfully gotten a place in our hearts. And yes, it is one of the "Watch it before you Die" movies without a doubt. Here's why you should watch Ghibli movies-
1. They are HAND-DRAWN!
The Creator of Studio Ghibli films, Hayao Miyazaki, believes in traditional techniques and so, each shot of the movie is hand-drawn! How much ever laborious it sounds and is, so much as working one whole month to cover just one minute of the movie, is laudable! Imagine the hard work the team puts up for one single movie!
2. Each one is Aesthetically Pleasing
Be it the color palette, which is distinct in every film, Studio Ghibli's art style is a beautiful blend of Japanese anime and American animation. Altogether, every shot is so aesthetic that it is truly a treat for your eyes. So when you feel stressed out or tired, try watching a Ghibli movie, it'll relax you in an instant.
3. They Teach us what True Love is
These movies span different characters of different ages and worlds. And every character instills in us the precise meaning of True Love, and such is the purity of it, such as the innocence it exudes, a spark is illuminated in our hearts and we begin to hope for cupid to hit us the very way it hits the characters in the movie. The emotions are super realistic and relatable. The efforts, the promises, and the faith they portend is swoon-worthy!
4. Most of the movies are Women- Centric
The makers of Princess Mononoke, Nausicaa, and so much more, with their beautiful storytelling conveyed the power that a woman beholds; they are given the humungous job of saving the world from the clutches of greed, materialism and, despite coping up with their struggles, they emerge victorious through sheer determination. Also, the message of environmentalism and valuing relationships are added, both of which are being overlooked with time and age.
5. The Imagination is Legendary, with Music catalyzing it to the Acme
Although Ghibli has made movies that display a slice of life, they have excelled at creating worlds that are so unique and so intricate that you'll never find them in any other Animation. Every minute detail is clear and plays a role in making the movie a classic. The imagination of the Creators is praiseworthy. And to topple it is the commendable job that the Music Composer Joe Hisaishi has done with his addictive and moving music.
Subtle human emotions; hope, heartbreak, bliss, dilemma, diffidence, manipulation, nostalgia...these are portrayed in such a delicate way, each emotion is relatable to all and sundry, from children to adults. Studio Ghibli has outclassed ordinary filmmaking and has created a standard of its own. Not only do they inspire us to realize our dreams, value the relations around us, know the purposes of our lives, but it also encourages us to be a better person, and appreciate the small things around us.
