Another Great Miyazaki Film

Current Mood:
CC is listening to: Most Haunted on the Travel Channel

Steve and I watched another Miyazaki film last night: Whisper of the Heart.


There are still a lot of Miyazaki films that we haven't seen, but I think this is one of my favorites :-). Steve liked it too, but he said that it was definitely a girl movie :-).

As always, Miyazaki impresses with his trademark devotion to character development. But the thing I still love the most is the animation's truthfulness to human habits. It's a treasure hunt to me now: Shizuku jiggling her leg as she thinks. Her mother setting the bags of groceries on the floor as soon as she gets into their apartment, because she needs to hold the door open. Little things like that. Things we would take for granted if it was a movie with real actors, but because it's animation--artificial--it makes things so much cooler when it happens :-).
