WHEN MARNIE WAS THERE 2014 ー Dir. Hiromasa Yonebayashi

[willofdpeople]

I now realize why I, and many others, envy the Ghibli girls – because of the one I don't envy: Anna Sasaki (the main character of When Marnie Was There).

In scenes that make us crave the Ghibli "lifestyle", for a lack of a better term, the characters are doing extremely mundane activities – something we, theoretically, could easily integrate into our lives. In fact, most of us already do. The top results on Pinterest for "Ghibli mood" are made up of studying, working, doing chores, eating, cooking or sleeping.

So why do we envy them? Now it's time to go back to Anna Sasaki. The third picture I used of her was in the beginning of the movie as she was drawing. On paper, she's doing a mundane activity in a Ghibli movie. It should count, right? But no one envies her. Because she, as opposed to the other Ghibli girls, isn't occupied by the activity she's performing.

She's occupied with concerns. She's not in the present, but inside her head – as most of us are. The instances where we feel envy are the ones where the characters are in reality, it's as simple as that. They're not thinking about all the other things they need to get done, or how they don't fit in, or about that one awkward moment from 3 years ago. They're doing one singular activity, and that's it. They're trurly at peace.

We envy that.

WHEN MARNIE WAS THERE (2014)

Marnie, how could you? I won't forgive you. Leaving me behind without a word. Anna! My dear Anna! Marnie! How could you leave me behind? Why did you betray me? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to leave you all alone. But... But at that moment, you weren't there. What do you mean? Oh, Anna, I... I can't stay here any longer. I have to say goodbye to you. So please, Anna, please say you forgive me! Anna... Of course, I forgive you. I love you, Marnie. And I won't forget you. I'll never forget you! Ever!

Y’all I was shipping marnie with her dead grandmother for 1 hour and 43 minutes 💀💀

In my defense they were screaming I love you over and over again. How was I supposed to know

We all make mistakes

Summary: As long as time exists for her, Marnie will love Anna. She doesn't know what else to do but love Anna for all she is.
