Watch when marnie was there online free english dub
Referencing other movies is actually quite rare for Studio Ghibli – we haven’t done it before. It begins with the meeting of Marnie and Anna, but gradually we wonder who Marnie actually is.
I wasn’t particular conscious of this, but probably there is an element of suspense. There are lot of references to Alfred Hitchcock in the film – from Vertigo to The Birds and Marnie. Anna builds a wall around her, she refuses help from the outside, but at the same time she’s screaming out for it as well, and eventually she realises she’s loved by the people around her and she’s gradually adapting to the realities of life. But at the same time I thought that if I could succeed, it would be a very rare type of film. A visualisation of those words would be very difficult. It was very difficult when I read the original novel, ‘Marnie’, by Joan G Robinson, there was so much detailed expression of Anna and Marnie. It seems like a big decision to make an animated film that tackles subjects such as grief and depression. So for the second one, this time I thought I should be able to do it on my own. At the end of Arrietty, the borrowers leave their nest and they fly away. But with Marnie, what I was conscious of was purely the enjoyment of the audience. Yonebayashi: With Arrietty, because Miyazaki created the concept on the screenplay, I was always conscious of Miyazaki and how he would feel, how he would receive it. LWLies: How do you see When Marnie Was There as relating to your previous film Arrietty? The director talks to us about following up Arrietty, his 2010 take on ‘The Borrowers’, working with the great Hayao Miyazaki, and the value of close attention to detail. Hiromasa Yonebayashi’s When Marnie Was There is a study of teenage grief and anxiety that’s leavened by Studio Ghibli’s typical recourse to gentle whimsy and fantasy. Meet the director of the beautiful new film widely rumoured to be Studio Ghibli’s last hurrah. Hiromasa Yonebayashi: ‘The history of Studio Ghibli is also a history of myself’
