A pure beauty

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 2003)

This film is a masterpiece of Miyasaki. It deals with a little girl and a little boy who search for the legendary castle in the sky Laputa. The story seems classical but it is not. This film is full of little details which make the film very achieved. But the best part of it is the love story between the two children. They didn't declare their flame, and it is why this story is beautiful : they feel an innocent love for each other. Moreover,the pictures are magnificent and the music composed by Joe Hisaishi is also wonderful. And the combination of all these makes every scene of the film is tainted by poetry, lightness and emotion, is it not even pure beauty. You can't miss this film.
