Miyazaki Moves Me


So, after being tantalized without any satisfaction by all the movie posters I saw in the underground every time I went to London this past summer, I finally saw Howl's Moving Castle last night after Sam & I had a lovely dinner at Sweet Basil. So, so tasty.

It was such a fantastic movie, though. I highly recommend it! Wonderful creative fantasy, actually humorous side characters, and of course beautiful animation. Good for children, too, other than them not understanding what is happening in the plot really, but do they understand anyways half the time? Anyways... I was not at all disappointed, and I had built it up a lot for myself, just from the posters.

I just watched this movie last night and loved it as well! Have you seen any other Miyazaki films? I grew up watching his films, they're fantastic. Laputa: Castle in the Sky is a fav. :-)

Hi! I met you once when you came to WEst Merritts with Sam, I think.

Anyway, we just watched "Spirited Away" last weekend and I really enjoyed it...the Pixar guy that introduced it said it was his masterpiece, but I need to watch "Howl's Moving Castle" first, which we just so happen to have gotten in the mail today. Ah, weekends!

You really should see Spirited Away. Why did I never want to watch these films before? So imaginative...
