Recently at a girls night, I watched the movie "Whisper of the Heart"( 1995). This is a great movie from the creators of Kiki's Delivery Service ( a movie much loved in my heart, since I was a youngster).
A young girl finds that all the books she chooses in the library have been previously checked out by the same boy. Later she meets a very infuriating fellow... could it be her "friend" from the library? The boy's grandfather has a violin sales and service shop. The boy wants to be a violin maker like his grandfather.
Shizuku lives a simple life, dominated by her love for stories and
writing. One day she notices that all the library books she has have
been previously checked out by the same person: 'Seiji Amasawa'. Curious
as to who he is, Shizuku meets a boy her age whom she finds
infuriating, but discovers to her shock that he is her 'Prince of
Books'. As she grows closer to him, she realises that he merely read all
those books to bring himself closer to her. The boy Seiji aspires to be
a violin maker in Italy, and it is his dreams that make Shizuku realise
that she has no clear path for her life. Knowing that her strength lies
in writing, she tests her talents by writing a story about Baron, a cat
statuette belonging to Seiji's grandfather.~~
I loved this movie so much and would recommend it!! Its touching to the heart and a nice light-heart-ed watch. After watching this movie I have wanted more so than ever to watch the other Ghibli films! I have only seen Kiki and Whisper! That is crazy! I plan on watching "Spirited Away" tomorrow! *super excited*
I plan on watching many of their films, because Ghibli knows what they are doing and what it takes to make a great, touching, amazing film!
What do you think? Whats your fave Ghibli film? Least fave? Reasoning?
