I just watched Ponyo. My mind is in confusion.
For those who haven't watched POTCBTS (lol), here's a quick summary.
First scene- weird ocean guy. Has magic bottle stuff. Red thing escapes HIDING UNDER JELLYFISHES. (Wheres the stinging??)
Theres a little boy named Sosuke. Who calls his parents by first name (who does that?). He finds the red thing stuck in a jar, thinks its a goldfish, saves her, and names her Ponyo.
A weird little goldfish I might add. Why is it a goldfish anyway? It just looks like a chibi wearing a giant blanket and she forgot to cut holes for her arms.
So anyway like any little kid who finds a new PET, he wants to protect it and brings it to school.
After Ponyo spits on a few people, they get mad, he gets scared, and runs to hide under rocks. Then the ocean guy takes Ponyo back and Sosuke becomes sad.
After a series of events, Ponyo escapes, unleashing all evil around her, becomes human, and tries to drown the entire town in her effort to chase Sosuke. In which she suceeds. And all of a sudden, giant ocean lady appears and says that Sosuke and Ponyo's love is the only thing that can save the world. The indication of the world in danger being the moon inching closer and of course ALL THE FREAKING WATER THAT DROWNS THE TOWN.
Anyway, things cut short, Ponyo becomes a fish, and Sosuke gets told about how he's the saviour. Ocean lady fixes everything, and Ponyo becomes a girl forever. The end.
First of, the storyline is weird.
Secondly, NO ONE freaked out about the drowning town.
Thirdly, your son tells you that the fish he caught earlier is now a girl and YOU'RE OKAY WITH THAT?
Fourthly, wh-wha?
In conclusion, don't watch POTCBTS unless its for free and only to see how confusing it is.
Guh. My brain.
