Hayao Miyazaki/Nightmare Fuel: Difference between revisions

[[Hayao Miyazaki]] is one of the greatest [[Anime]] film directors of this generation. That being said it doesn't mean that his works won't frighten you.

 

* ''[[My Neighbor Totoro]]'':

** The possibility that Mei {{spoiler|might have drowned in the lake}}.

*** It could also be worse. It's a nekomata; those are usually evil, but at least this one's reformed. Probably.

* ''[[Princess Mononoke]]'':

** The theme of losing oneself. {{spoiler|Kohaku}} being reduced to following rules and orders from and hating Yubaba, No Face getting..."sick" from being in the bath house, "Sen" changing so subtly over fewer than 24 hours that neither she nor the audience notices when she first ''ceases to realizes that she was anyone else''.

** Chihiro and Haku are falling through the bowels of the bathhouse, and featureless shadow-things stretch up toward them. What ''are'' those things?

** The Witch of the Waste, her blob things, and what happens to her in [[Light Is Not Good|the room of lights]].

** Forget the room of lights, what's even worse is when Howl {{spoiler|makes his contract with Calcifer}} in the flashback, which puts into perspective ''exactly'' what those lights are, expands the ideas of what they can do almost infinitely, and worse, tells you that they are out there somewhere and not created or under the control of any magic user. Complete with [[Black Speech|unintelligible]] [[Ironic Nursery Rhyme]].
