Anime Movie Suggestion - Ponyo of the Earth and Sea
An Adventurous Film Created By Hayao Miyazaki
During a forbidden journey to the surface world, a goldfish princess (Yuria Nara) becomes more and more human-like after befriending a village boy.
From a mini critic's perspective: Okay, first things first, let me just say that I have watched this classic anime movie almost 50 times and I LOVE it. Ponyo along with the rest of the characters you meet during the movie are extremely friendly and have mysteriously amazing personalities. You will certainly be amazed at the beautiful illustration of the scenery surrounding every moment captured by the director using its characters. This is one of the most COLORFUL films I have ever reviewed and enjoy the hints of humor sprinkled throughout. The many themes and messages that can be defined in every anime related to childhood is nowhere near the extensive effort put into this film to express imagination through fantasy and some drama. It also shows childhood joy and the glory of the world and not the the over protectively caused bad part of it; from the perspective of unordinary children.One of the events that may be unclear to some people is that within her adventures, she fall in love with the village boy but later on her father(a sorcerer) is not pleased whatsoever due to his protective nature. Although we know typical movies and not just anime have girls who are brokenhearted by breakups or cheating situations, some having mothers or fathers saying "I told you so,". But, this reason in particular is so that she does not get hurt by the human feelings and not regret either. (Think about it)In addition, a somewhat hidden resemblance with Ponyo's desire to be a human being to the balance of the world and its content, adds some natural dramatic substance that lead to an important climax in the movie.The film gives you a whiff of experience beginning to feel almost like you are able to dive through a strange and beautiful world rather than merely watching it off of a screen. You will even feel that the film aims to flow at the pace of real life. In all, this movie tends to make one wish they could create their own character to live in this storyline and be happy as they are after the movie(me after almost every anime). In conclusion, Ponyo will always remain a childhood favorite, is a joy to watch, and can be described as a fascinating, heartwarming, and a gem shining bright to catch your attention that never fails to please. This is one heck of a calm movie that I would definitely recommend you to watch. If this is of any concern, it is for the eyes of all ages from children and up!
