11/26/2018 1 Comment Porco RossoIt is time to talk about another Miyazaki movie. This one is a little lesser known and in my opinion very underrated. It is one of my favorite movies for is realistic timeline. Except the main Character is a pig. This week will be about Porco Rosso. So the character of Porco Rosso is one of my favorites in Miyazaki Film. He is really complex character and I love his story. He is kind of the classic rough and tough guy on the inside but a really sweet, kind, and self-sacrificing man. Most of the main character in Studio Ghibli are innocent and children. This movie is different because they have this older man who has seen the horrors of this world. It is cool to try new things even though you have been successful with a different formula. I think the experiment was great. In the background of this movie, the Italian government is becoming its facist from under Mussolini. I enjoy the historical aspect of this movie. It affects the movie and the people how it affected people in the real world. Curtis kind of reminds me of Trump. He is a stereotypical american. He reminds me of Trump because how he treats women, his sense of he deserves more, he becomes a Hollywood Star, arrogant, and he wants to be president. Not to mention his first name is Donald. He is a good character though and has a sweet heart. I must say this movie is very beautiful to look at. Miyazaki is one of the best animators out there. This movie is fun, funny, action packed, and beautiful. I really love it 8.9/10

11/12/2018 1 Comment The Lodger (1927)The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog is a love story with murder and suspense in the background. The story is very simple and easy to follow along. A man rents a room and the young girl who also lives at the house falls in love with him. However, he might be a killer. Silent movies take a lot of energy to stay engaged with and story is so boring. It was hard to focus. The story for me was kind of predictable and I had a feeling what the ending was and that happened. I wasn’t satisfied with the movie. I thought the movie was going to be about a murder investigation and that wasn’t the case. There was no true villain and the conflict did not feel very real. The movie had some good music though. I really liked the music and when the music was good I felt very engaged. I thought the main girl, Daisy, was kind of dumb. She basically cheated on her boyfriend with no precautions. I really feel bad for her the boyfriend, Joe. He is a good person and he didn’t deserve what happened to him. Even in the end he was a great person and helped the young couple. 11/11/2018 1 Comment Spirited Away (2001)Honestly, what can I say here? By all accounts, this is one of the most legendary animated movies of all time. Welcome to the most well know Miyazaki Movie ever made. Let this begin my long journey of Miyazaki Reviews. Like all Miyazaki movies, the world created for these movies are wonderous and leave you in awe. These universes have endless possibilities. The magic and the supernatural are really turned up in this movie. I'm not really into the supernatural but I really love this. As a kid, how can you not feel like this is the coolest thing to ever grace your tv screen. It completely takes you out of reality. I feel that is what Miyazaki does the best, takes you away from the ordinary world. One strange thing after another keeps happening. You keep watching and your reaction is "what the heck? what's going on?" It is so fun. The story is fun and it cool in the fact that it shows a cool metaphor that I didn't really see till now. We grow up fast. Chihiro grows so fast in a matter of days in the strange world but only matter of moments in the ordinary world. It is crazy because in seconds we can completely change. I love the message. Now even though this is the most famous Miyazaki movie, it is not my favorite. It is a little to far from reality for me but its good. I wish it had more reality. STILL A FANTASTIC MOVIE. SO BEAUTIFUL AND IT ALWAYS MAKES ME SMILE BY THE END. 9.3/10 11/5/2018 1 Comment Thor Ragnarok
