君たちはどう生きるか
While the Second World War rages, the teenage Mahito, haunted by his mother's tragic death, is relocated from Tokyo to the serene rural home of his new stepmother Natsuko, a woman who bears a striking resemblance to the boy's mother. As he tries to adjust, this strange new world grows even stranger following the appearance of a persistent gray heron, who perplexes and bedevils Mahito, dubbing him the "long-awaited one."

Miyazaki is so fucking sad that his son can’t draw bro
You can sit and ponder the very nature of existence and grief. Juggling the choice of letting go or staying. Asking yourself if you really had enough time with someone you love before that time runs out.Or you can crank 90’s and build a block tower
A boy named Mahito copes with the loss of his mother during the Second World War by traveling to a rural estate, where a talking bird leads him into an alternate, surreal reality.
Hayao Miyazaki directed this 2023 film, marking a major return for the acclaimed animator.
