Originally seen without a dub, but I understood everything

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2012)

This film was pushed on me by a anime hound as his favorite movie. I watched it, undubbed and no subtitles, and it became one of my own favorite films. I didn't understand a single word of the dialog, but this imagery was so crystal clear that I understood everything.
It worked so well that when I was in Japan, I bought several over Ghibli videos, but none of them was transcendental like this one.
About the tenth time I saw the film, it was the dubbed version. I don't hearing the actual dialog for the first helped. Via the images, I already knew it, somehow. And what fantastic imagery -- some of the best imagery I've seen in any film. There is indeed a Castle in the Sky, from which one may rule.
Highly recommended.
