During the watch, there definitely were interesting parallels that my sibling - who was watching with me - and I noticed.
REDDIT THE SECRET WORLD OF ARRIETTY FULL MOVIE MOVIE
I’m much older than when I first watched the movie, so as a result, I’m exploring the movie a second time and sharing how I feel in retrospect. To me, they are basically a bunch of tiny humans who are trying to live in peace without having conflicts with the “Big People.” That’s right, the “Big People” are us: tall, scary-looking humans. One wrong step and they could end up being eaten by animals such as rats or be caught by humans and killed. However, “borrowing” is a deadly endeavor, as shown in the movie via the warnings given by Arrietty’s father, Pod.
It could be anything, whether they’re daily essentials like sugar and screw nails for tools or odder commodities such as tissue and dollhouse furniture.
Rewatching the movie for its tenth anniversary - the film was originally released on 12 July 2010 in Japan - brings back a lot more nostalgia than it should have, considering this movie is one of the newer installments in Studio Ghibli’s movie catalog.īoth the book and the movie depict the events of a young boy named Sho befriending the titular protagonist Arrietty Clock, who is part of a species of tiny humans called the “Borrowers.” They “borrow” things - or keep things indefinitely - from humans for their daily living. It was then a pleasant surprise to me when I found that Studio Ghibli animated a movie inspired by the book because the latter was an important part of my childhood. I first came across the book when I received it as a birthday gift from a tutor and thoroughly enjoyed it. The Secret World of Arrietty is inspired by Mary Norton’s 1952 book, The Borrowers.
