When Marnie Was There (Blu-ray + DVD)
Synopsis
From Japan's famed Studio Ghibli comes is a sweeping story of friendship, mystery and discovery that delivers stirring emotions and breathtaking animation as only Studio Ghibli can. When shy, artistic Anna moves to the seaside to live with her aunt and uncle, she stumbles upon an old mansion surrounded by marshes, and the mysterious young girl, Marnie, who lives there. The two girls instantly form a unique connection and friendship that blurs the lines between fantasy and reality. As the days go by, a nearly magnetic pull draws Anna back to the Marsh House again and again, and she begins to piece together the truth surrounding her strange new friend. Based on the beloved young adult novel by Joan G. Robinson and directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi (The Secret World of Arrietty), When Marnie Was There is a haunting tale gorgeously rendered with its moonlit seascapes, glowing orchestral score, and powerful portrayals of friendship and belonging.

Product Description
Sent from her foster home in the city one summer to a sleepy town by the sea in Hokkaido, Anna dreams her days away among the marshes. She believes she’s outside the invisible magic circle to which most people belong – and shuts herself off from everyone around her. Anna never expected to meet a friend like Marnie, who does not judge Anna for being just what she is. But no sooner has Anna learned the loveliness of friendship than she begins to wonder about her newfound friend…

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It had a lovely story about friendship. About a girl trying to figure out who she is. All the feelings she had at this point in her life. The people around her trying to help yet not knowing how.
The animation was nothing short of breathtaking.
Definitely recommended.
Now, the film:
This is the last full-feature ever to be produced by the illustrious Study Ghibli, at least while operating in the same manner that has earned it the heartfelt admiration of so many, for so many years.
It is also the Japanese version of an English ghost story, and the material cannot be stronger, originating from one of two cultures that excel in them and coming now to us through the filter of the other.
One of the two main characters is a shy pre-pubescent girl that is at war with her own emotions, but mostly keeps a grip on them and remains respectful, if distant, towards others. Except in a few occasions when she cannot help herself and lashes out. But then realizes that she was wrong and comes around to apologizing sincerely.
The second main character is the ghost of another girl of similar age, existing in a very different situation, but connected to the first one in ways that come to light at the end.
In this story, time itself bends: past and present briefly and imperfectly seem to overlap for a few minutes or a few hours, now and then, letting each girl move from her reality to the other's and back. So, in a way, each might be a ghost to the other (and there is a hint that this is the case in a rediscovered diary Marnie had kept many years before).
Magic and mystery rule; above all, this is a tale about the mystery and magic of love. It is also a very humane and moving story.
The animation is of the quality one expects in a Ghibli film. This is not about high drama and dare-devil action, as in “Mononoke”, or action plus deeply poetic story-telling as in “Kaguya”; it does not play as hard with one’s emotions as “The grave of the fireflies”, is not as boisterously fantastic as “Pom Poko”, or as amusing as “Porco Rosso” or “My neighbors the Tanakas”, or as heart-warming as “Kiki”, to mention some of the studio's great achievements, but it is a great small piece of art all the same, as well as a feather in the cap of Hiromasa Yonebayashi that directed it (his second movie after “Arrietty”, also adapted from an English story).
Comparisons have been made, nonetheless, to some of those former movies by some professional critics and, in conclusion, “Marnie” has been declared by them to be a “minor Ghibli.” I disagree: those are comparisons between apples and butterflies. This movie, as those other ones of that wonderfully creative enterprise, is in a kind all its own, and should be seen that way.
As of this writing, “Marnie” is in the list of candidates for an Oscar in the “Best Animated Film” category. Given the tremendous amount of wind in the sails of “Inside Out”, I fully expect the latter to win the prize. “Inside Out” is, in my opinion, an inferior product, if brilliantly executed, since it, after all, comes from Pixar. It is about a girl of about same age as in “Marnie” that is also in the grip of her emotions, but the message here is that it is no big deal to act up, to the distress of others, even when one’s own family is struggling with unexpected and serious problems: after all, we are ruled by our emotions and that gives us a permanent “get out of jail” pass. A great message to all kids out there already “old enough to understand”?
I think not.
So, in my heart of hearts, I am rooting for “Marnie.”
Based on a heart warming tale we see a coming of age story with a heart warming supernatural twist. The characters are so charming and the English voice cast chosen in Haliee Steinfeld, John C. Reille and Kathy Bates is wonderful. As always the animation is stunning and watching a story taking place in the peaceful countryside made me feel like all my stress had gone away for just a little while. However, the story is a beautiful blend of joy and sorrow as the two main characters Anna and Marnie develop a one of a kind friend ship as they peel away the layers of the pasts and share their inner most secrets with one another. It is a story filled with hope, love and loss and the ending will definitely produce a tear or more.
For me, tears were definitely shed just knowing that the pioneering team of Miyazaki and Takahata have 'officially' concluded their epic adventure into the world of animation. They proved that animation is a genre that can be developed for all kinds of audiences and that traditional cell animation is an art form that is far from dead. Each time they exposed new wonders and dived ever deeper into its beauty and their product as well as their awards, have shown that time and time again.
Complete your Studio Ghibli journey with this heartwarming conclusion and I am sure you will happy that you did.

The story is intriguing and interesting; a misfit teenage girl, adopted and rebellious against everyone, is lovingly sent to her adopted mothers relatives to spend a summer holiday in the hope it may help mend her melancholy state. It is there that the journey begins of how the teenage protagonist finds understanding of her world and of others and of herself.
In simple terms, any film has two components: a visual part and audio part. The animation is superb; beautiful renditions of scenes that are both life like caricatures and conveying of mood. The actors are superb, their voices perfectly match their characters and deliver performances that are totally engaging and fit perfectly into the story and film.
Whilst younger viewers may not see the subtleties of the story they will be engrossed by the wonderful, colourful animation that conveys oodles of emotion along the way, plus the intrigue of the solitary house and mysterious inhabitants including Marnie herself.
Adults will appreciate all these things plus latch on to the empathy conveyed for the main protagonists and those around them and all the events they shared.
It is a wonderful production; the characters look and move in a manner matching their personalities and roles, the landscapes encapsulate the mood of the story setting, the animation is sumptuous and a joy to look at; topping it off are the voices of the actors which convey perfectly their characters. The sound is wonderful, with incidental effects such as rain footsteps, etc. all deliciously conveyed and a pleasure to listen to; just listening to this DVD is itself an engaging experience that captivates the listener.
Dont hesitate to see this wonderful heart wrenching and uplifting film; you wont regret it.
英語学習に使えると思います
Otra película de los maestros de Ghibli y dirgida por Yonebayashi que nos cuenta la historia de Anna durante sus vacaciones en el Japón rural, donde enfrentará problemas por su forma de relacionarse pero a la vez hará amigos y se auto-descubrirá tras conocer a Marnie. Soy terrible escribiendo sinopsis pero puedo asegurarles que es una obra hermosa con un bello mansaje sobre la familia y la amistad.
Gran calidad de imagen a 1080p, subtítulos en español y audio en japonés y español (latino), un solo disco con terribles extras como suele hacer Zima (galería de imágenes), y slip cover. La compré a $150 por lo que considero que valió la pena.
