Castle in the Sky Reviews
A FANTASY FOR ALL AGES
"Castle In The Sky" is a highly recommended film. The dreamlike world that the viewer is transported to in the film is vivid and magical. Hayao Miyazaki is truly a visionary in the creative world of anime, and has that magical gift to take us with him on his creative journey. It is obvious when viewing the film that environmentalism is a central theme in the story. And Miyazaki has done a spectacular job as an artist to bring that theme to the viewer.
The film not only delighted my daughters when I took them to see it many years ago, but delighted me as well. The anime has been reviewed here at amazon at great length, I just wish to add that if you have not seen this wonderful film, go out and rent it, or better yet, buy it: especially if you have children. You will not be disappointed with the film, because it is a true joy to watch. And like me, you'll probably watch it many, many times in your life.
Great thoughtful Fiction with lots of social implication
I have been exposed to a lot of Japanese commercial animation. That's why I always thought Japanese animation is never good. This one is different. I have to confess that Japanese animation studios (or at least Ghibli studio) has made a lot of progress.
It follows a great story full of mystery and attractions. you can never guess what happens next. The drawings are very eye catching, things that came out of a very creative mind and you won't see anywhere else. the same applies to the story itself. The action parts are kept to a reasonable amount and do not dominate the story. The main focus of story is on intimacy and sacrifices people do for their good friends.
One thing that caught my attention is how technology and modernity is portrayed in American and Japanese themes. As opposed to Americans who always show technology as destructive and monstrous, Japanese illustrate technology as cooperating and protective of men and nature. This is a well desired break from the desperate and desolate future world Disney and Hollywood want to show us.
