This is a masterpiece for the ages.

One can only lament that Joseph Campbell didn't get to see this
incredible, culminate work of Miyasaki's. It is so rife with architypal symbolism as to be bursting at it's seams. Doctoral and masters thesis
will be achieved for decades to come. Miyasaki's masterful, lyrical
blending of eastern and western mythologies stands alone in the medium,
and puts him on the historical timeline as one of the greatest
storytellers of all time. Indeed, coupled with the body of his work, the
man stands with Homer, Lewis Carroll, and Tolkien. This is one of those
works, like "Through the Lookinglass", that deserves an annual visit
from childhood upwards. The deeper one goes, the richer the experience.
Ten stars for
