A Piece of My Internet

7 Feb 2012

The Secret World of Arrietty/The Borrowers I just watched Studio Ghibli’s lastest film, made after Ponyo. I believe it opened in America on the 7th.  Maybe it’s because Miyazaki didn’t direct this one (Yonebayashi Hiromasa directed)… the film healed me of all the times I’ve been torn between love for Ghibli films and hate for their loopholes and WTF story twists (see Howl’s Moving Castle, Ponyo, etc.). This one is just, another one of Ghibli’s perfect, perfect films. The feeling I get by the time I see the credits rolling is something that only Ghibli can bestow.  And the animation, o man. I had to pause at every other change of shot just to stare at the background, or to rewatch a five second clip over and over just to catch the way Arrietty’s hair moves. I’m going to post some pics of the film’s backgrounds just to indulge myself…
