It's very symbolic, Seita and Setsuko put a face on every man woman and child in Japan in the bitter dying embers of the war effort.

It jsut paints a picture of disrepair, desperation, and utter defeat that nothing comes close to. Without doubt the most emotionally exhausting film i've ever seen. Great film, the longest of the lot, but doesn't get stale. I thought the gore, was probably appropriate, because it left very very powerful images in its wake, and it does make you think about mans relationship with nature. This film contradicts Castle in the sky, where nature and technology live as one. i lvoe the enviromaental theme in this film, It's very obvious, a literal 'war' between man's technology, and nature. From the opening sequences, to the last oens, the action, although it has lulls, doesnt stop. If it had a stronger ending, it would've been top five anyday. As far as the story goes, I like the fact it takes a while to pick up, you can observe the great animation, decoration, and appreciate all the hard work that actually goes into these films. I loved the city it was set in, there was limitless potential within it, and, whilst some say, it was same old same old from ghibli, this film has soemthing for everyone to take from it. Kiki is an awesoem protagonist, I liked the fact shes a witch, but shes still sjut a teenage girl, fighting and loosing a teenages girls struggle. It exlores themes such as coming of age, social, personal, and general responibility, within a young persons life. Although it is somewhat a hybrid of Howl's moving castle, and Whisper of the heart. The most recent one of thses i watched, It typical Ghibli, but not typical at all. A charming, charming, little film, that you'd have to be the devil to not enjoy, this is definatley one to be enjoyed, watch wether you're 8, or 80. But it's by no means the saddest of the Ghiblis, it is actually the perkiest and bubbliest, and if that doesnt attract you, then the vibrant colours, and soemwhat offbeat storyline will. Like when Satsuki is running all over the palce to look for Mei, and can't find her, or when Satsuki starts crying about her mohter, it was like someone was playing Bass on my heart strings. Although, some scenes do melt your heart abit. Definatley worth a watch, a solid number 8.ĪIf you're a parent who needs a great film to sit down, and watch with your kids, this is the one. It's a nice taster to get into the Ghibli franchise, it's not too heavy, and it's very well paced. And it's hard to imagine how many of these films i would've seen without the cat returns, as it was one of the first i saw.

The fact of the matter is, if you like to blend romance, action, and magic, then this is the Studio ghibli for you.Īlthough its abit short, and theres not alot to take from this film, its a great watch, and the Baron is a great character for any story. I liked the stop-start story line, with action happening when you least expect it, and some it has some very human scenes of vunerability, inbetween. I liked Porco, he wasn't too grim, or too perky, he was a believable character, well, if pigs could talk, but, he was the only magic in an otherwise rather bleak and stale world, which makes us more sympathetic towards him. The fusion of romance, adventure, escapism, and the curiousity of Porco being a pig makes sure, there is always something more to want in this film. Miyazaki's great love for planes is on display in this film, and everything about the planes, from the dogfights, to the reparing, is stunningly accurate and wonderful to watch. I was a little suprised there was not really a love story incorporated though, but, the story didnt stop from minute one, to minute one hundred and sixteen. The characters were powerful, lead by Nausicaa, who, in Miyazakis true style, was a strong, adventurous female character. This film had a great enviromental message, which was really really obvious, but it is something people do have to take in, and i loved the design of the post apocolyptic Earth, and the fact it was ripped apart into nations, which were very diverse and different, and it suggested more chaos was going on in the world, then first appears.
