Bad Take - Tumblr Posts

someone i know tried to tell me that the War Themes™️ in howls moving castle were “undertones” and “not explicit” and i was genuinely dumbfounded. they were explaining it to someone else and said out loud “it’s an undertone because it’s never directly addressed” and they were speaking with so much confidence i started to doubt myself. like ? did i misremember ? but no. i did not.

like. i understand the movie is a bit confusing on your first watch. but this person was saying they had watched the movie hundreds of times and it was one of their favourite movies of all time.

and like. same. but. the war themes are very much an explicit overtone that they do directly address many times. like i have watched this movie hundreds of times and it’s one of my favourites. and i did not miss that they actively and openly discuss the war efforts ?? like even during my first watch when i was very confused ?? i was like ? oh okay there’s a war.

like ??????

I though I’d never posted the last photo, but I did. So here goes a shit post
