So Jen and Sarah put out the call asking for our thoughts on the most epic scene in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.
11:09
that i felt that the narrative wasn't quite as clear it didn't make as much sense i think by the end i understood more where it was going and so you start to see some of these other themes but we can kind of dive into that here in a second michael what's your relationship with the film though
11:30
So for this film, I got it to it the first time around the mid-2000s.
11:35
So I didn't see it initially when it came out in theaters.
11:39
I was still kind of playing catch-up with Miyazaki.
11:41
My first Miyazaki film was Princess Mononoke, which I still have a love for that film and gush about it all the time.
11:49
But I was playing catch-up with it, so I caught this film spirited away probably about 2004, 2005. on DVD watching it.
12:00
And yeah, I didn't really get into it as much the first time around seeing it.
