Ghibli studio has produced many masterpieces, and yet another is on the way to get into the hearts of the fans of the work of Ghibli and its not going to disappoint the those who were eagerly waiting for this movie to release on ott platform.
RELEASE DATE ON OTT PLATFORM:-
The boy and the heron is yet to be released on an ott platform but we have a release date now. Netflix has bought the rights and also given a release date along with a official trailer. Mark the date October 7, 2024.
IS THIS GHIBLI’S FINEST WORK?
It is obviously not the best work came out of the studio Ghibli, But good enough to get an an Academy Award. This movie follows the story of a boy named Mahito, who lost his mother Hisako, because of the bombing on the hospital she was in. The story shows the sorrow and hatred emerged in Mahito due to the accident occurred to his mother.
But the story is not the case here, i want to analyze if this is the finest work of Hiyao Mizayaki. Personally, i am not a huge fan of fantasies in which the protagonists goes to a magical world and there the story continues. This is literally what happens in “the boy and the heron”. Therefore, the audience of this movie has been narrowed down due to this particular reason.
Mostly the general audience would love to watch a romantic and a simpler history based movie which also provides a ton of knowledge to its viewers. If you are thinking where you can find such content, then i would recommend a Ghibli’s movie named ‘The Wind Rises’, released in 2013.
‘The Wind Rises’ follows the story of a boy who is ambitious to become a really good aeronautic engineer and admires Giovanni Battista Caproni, an Italian aeronautic engineer. The main lead named Jiro Horikoshi is based on a real life character of the same name. Not just a regular aeronautic engineer, he revolutionized the structure of making planes in Japan during ‘world war 2’.
CONCLUSION:-
‘The boy and the heron’ releases October 7, 2024 only on Netflix and it is a must watch with a really good and unique story which shows the bond of a child with his/her mother. But this movie is not for every audience and only the ones with magical fantasies would love to watch it. So, a movie called ‘ The Wind Rises’ provides everything that a decent non-fantasized movie should offer. The links for the trailer of both the movies are given below.
