3 Panel Comic

Panel 1: James sits clutching a mug nervously as he listens to a conversation he’s afraid of. He stares at something off screen. Near by, a woman and smartly dressed man talk movies over their drinks. The woman nods along.

Man: I’d say probably the best filmmaking I’ve ever seen, has been ‘The Sacrifice’ by Tarkovsky

Woman: Mmhmm

Panel 2: James is pulled from whatever holds his attention as he’s dragged into the conversation.

Man: What about you James? What would you say is the best film you have ever seen?

James: Huh?

Panel 3: James turns back towards the window he’s been watching as he feeds the man an expected answer.

James: Ah! Uhm y’know… ‘Mulholland Drive’, maybe ‘Vertigo’

Outside the window, the movie ‘Step Brothers’ bangs on the glass demanding to be acknowledged. knock knock knock

        Some of them! Unfortunately I moved, and had to put my boxed set in storage, and I can’t get to it because it’s lumped in with all of my family’s stuff, probably buried which is really annoying and makes me wanna just repurchase them at this point

        I did get as far as past the section that the movie was based on, definitely didn’t expect the Tolmekians Torumekians to be just the knights, with no chickenhead soldiers or birdface tank guys, with the chickenheads originally being wormhandlers. That is one thing that I prefer about the movie since the chickenhead helmet bears a striking resemblance to the giant warrior, which is a nice parallel to the monster that they aspire to use

        Edit: just realized that you can actually see the birdies in some panels like here

        I think that the soundtrack, the designs, and ultimately just growing up with it, are what make me partial to it

          Nausica is the superior film imo, both are trying for different things. One is a coming of age story that is post societal upheaval. The other is an adventure into the unknown that is pre societal upheaval.

          Castle in the sky really combines both.

            I think that’s what makes it so good. It gives you hope that we will find peace in this huge barren land where mercy wins in the end
