Omg guys I was FINALLY able to upload this without it getting blocked but I had to take extra measures because otherwise it KEPT getting blocked! This was supposed to be up 6 hours ago but my computer takes 3 hours to render it all 😭but I DONT CARE. It's finally up and I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH. Definitely in my top 3!

Note: I had to blur it out even more than the other movies for some reason and had to include the tiny blur during the syncing. I hope it's not too much of a problem. THANK YOU GUYS AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS ON YOUR WEEKEND :)

This is my favorite Ghibli film. :D Also, the dub is worth watching at least once if only to hear Mark Hamill play Muska.

Definitely not going to watch this whole reaction immediately while ignoring the rest of my responsibilities for the day. Definitely not!

This movie is a majesty, as are your reactions.

As always, amazing reaction! Laputa had always been one of my favorites for so long, and it's probably the most wonder-inspiring of Miyazaki's works. Such a wonderous film lined with an underlying bittersweetness... I remember my heart soaring when I first watched it. Still does, it seems. Laputa and Nausicaa are quite similar in that both depict a world that rebuilt itself after the fall of an absolute, hyper-advanced civilization, both of which are implied to have fallen due to its own strength. An allegory to the nuclear threats back then: of how humanity discovered ways to destroy ourselves even before we discovered a way to leave our star. And this, too, is one of Miyazaki's core philosophies: that there are lines we should not cross when it comes to scientific advancement; that humanity cannot survive when we live detached from mother Earth (quite literally, in this film's case); that humans, should we continue on with our mindless pursuit of progress and wealth, would destroy ourselves. Look just how much effort went into the scene where the military base burns; though we aren't really affected by the visuals that much, back during the time of the release it would have been obvious to the audience what those vivid, intentionally-graphic and disagreeable explosions were alluding to. Same goes to the mushroom cloud that Muska creates on the ocean. Muska wasn't lying when he said Laputa once ruled the world with an iron fist; if you watch this film again, you might notice that there are a great number of massive craters scattered throughout the entire landscape. No matter how peaceful Laputa looked on the surface, there is a reason they fell, a reason they left their own castle. According to Miyazaki, such powers were not meant to be for humans. Floating in the sky, detached from the Earth and our roots, was no way to truly live. Sheeta and Pazu realized this (because children are wiser than adults in Miyazaki's world) so they evoked the destruction spell. And Laputa's science and technology tore itself apart, but the great tree persisted and took its remains to the stars. Civilizations fall, superpowers die, and our very science destroy ourselves -- but nature always lasts, I suppose. I like all Ghibli films, but Miyazaki's works are fascinating in that when put together, they paint a story of Miyazaki himself: of how his philosophies grew and changed throughout the years, of how he came into terms with humanity's faults and mistakes, of how his admiration for all children remained unchanged through it all. When you're done through all his films, try recalling each one in chronological order; you may find so much about the man that created all these fantastical worlds and stories.

Holy... I GENUINELY did not gather all of that after watching it.. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ENLIGHTENING ME I did not notice those correlations or meaning behind in that way. This was definitely one of the more difficult films to assess in my opinion and I'm so glad you brought it to light. I was thrown off by what the meaning essentially was and knew it went deeper than what I had originally thought but it makes so much more sense with the random "hints" towards technological advancements in certain parts of the world opposed to other areas, it showed great difference. And i was thinking that as well! With each Miyazaki film, as time goes on you're able to learn more about him as an individual and the topics that are important to him, you basically see his progression over the years. Its fascinating :) Thank you for this as always, wonderful comment Say ❤️

If u looking for "Future Boy Conan" They are almost the same characters, but the story is different and it is an anime, not a movie. Let's watch this movie and I am sure it will be beautiful like the rest of Ghibli movies, and thanks for your reaction in advance ^^
