When Marnie was there

I have long been MIA on this blog since something called school was happening, and now it is over, for the rest of my life. I am still in a good shock from it, since I have never not been at school. But my first reaction was watching a lot of movies, well for now this is the plan.

I came across this movie on the Fandango website, where you can just say you want to watch a movie   now and it shows you all the show times around you.

You all know about my obsession with studio Ghibli and in general with good animations. and when I saw this movie is from Ghibli, I could not hesitate.

As always, the animation was very well made. With the flowiest scenes and softest colors and magical music.

The story line though was weird. The movie is about an adopted girl, 10 years old, who suffers from Asthma and is sent to a village to get better in a good weather. She is in general not a very happy kid and recently been more reserved.

In the village she finds an old empty mansion and starts imagining hanging out with a very pretty girl who lives there with her evil nannies.

This is where the movie gets weird since the relationship between two girls get awkward. They keep saying they love each other and I got a feeling that is this an LGBT movie?! or what is the message they want to deliver? Is this a kid's movie? In general my mind was very occupied with figuring this out for a long time.

Ghibli has always some sort of magic in their movies. That made me even more skeptical that what is this movie about.

But later everything sorts out and I do not want to be a spoiler, but there is nothing mind blowing about it (LOL), they simply have touched some Fruedian concepts.

I would certainly recommend the movie to any animation lover and give 7/10.
