Beautiful film

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2016)

This film was so beautifully done and a feast for the eyes. Once I discovered that the inspiration for parts of the film were from the director's own childhood made it all the more wonderful to watch. Being a child that relocated quite often I can understand how it feels to not want to leave everyone and everything that you know. To feel like a lost child in a new world. Some say its hard to relate to an animated character but this film spoke volumes to me. I've been a fan of Miyazaki since Nausicaa. His form or storytelling makes it easy for all ages to be able to find someone or something to relate to. I've been able to share this film with my younger siblings and my own child. All of us finding parts we love best.
