Arrietty, ********

[GoldDiggingWhore]

Why is there no topic about this film yet? I can't be the only one who's seen it. Look, I even made a picture about it: http://cheezburger.com/5867840768

I saw it. Thought it was great. Got the soundtrack. Also awesome. Makes me happy inside. Go see it.

i wanted to see it so bad. T^T
but i never got around to it and the i believe the theater near me wasn't planning it.

This is sadness...it reminds me of when I wanted to see Scott Pilgrim and the theater near me stopped showing it after a week or two. It made me resort to torrenting it. Of course, I eventually bought the DVD, but it's still the principle of it.

I hope you get to see it soonish. The DVD comes out next month!

That sucks, Scott Pilgrim is awesome. My boyfriend and I managed to go and see it. I felt a bit strange being in the cinema with so many normal non-nerds however. I don't think they got the humour as well. I believe someone up and left when Mattew Pattel started his song. mrgreen

As for Arrietty, I thought it was amazing. The colours are always so vibrant in Miyazak movies, and I remember getting so excited over the fact that they'd done the research into how tiny drops of water would look and react to surface tension. (Geek sweatdrop ) I'm always a little sad that Miyazak's stuff seems to end just when another part of the story could be told. I know its an interesting way of telling stories to leave them with more to go, but I generally like all my loose ends tied up. Also I would have loved to have seen more relationship development between Arrietty and Spiller.

The end theme is beautiful, whether you listen to it in French or Japanese. I caved and got the Japanese one from Itunes.

I'd never thought of it that way before, but you've got a point about Miyazaki plot-lines. I hope Ni No Kuni doesn't end like that, because that would drive me crazy (I should probably start playing it soon >.>). And SPEAKING of water, I loved the way they animated the water in Ponyo, especially when Ponyo was running on it like Sonic the hedgehog.

The soundtrack is so great. I actually imported it from Japan before it came out here because I loved it so much ^_^

You know, I still haven't actually seen Ponyo! I best get my act in gear.

Spirited Away ends in a way I'm happy with, but Kiki's Delivery Service left me going "Bwh?" and I felt that even Mononoke wasn't tied up as much as I'd would have liked. Still he is freaking incredible storyteller.

What's your favourite of his?

I'll always have a special place in my heart for Laputa, Castle in the Sky. I'm thinking about getting the robot tattooed on me somewhere.

I think my favorite would have to be Howl's Moving Castle. Hard to say why...I just really connected with the main character and I I thought her whole inward/outward transformation thing was really great in a symbolic way. That and Billy Crystal/Christian Bale in the English version were awesome choices~

Next Studio Ghibil film to come out in America is From Up on Poppy Hill on March 29! Looking forward to it ^_^

I love Howl's Moving castle. I read the book of it when I was a child and then completely forgot about it. When I was in the cinema watching the movie I had the greatest sense of deja vu, it freaked me out till I twigged I'd read the book. You should check it out if you haven't already.

Sophie is awesome. I do love how strong and interesting the women characters in Miyazaki's films are.
