Movie Reviews of Millennium Actress
Movie Review: A wonderful Surprise
Summary: 5 Stars
I came across "Millenium Actress" by accident. I was looking for any anime to enrich my studies as a animation major ar CSUN. I was delighted by the graphics and the story, a wonderful exploration of history and images. Also I had purchased others anime because of the effect "Millenium Actress".Anime is a great art form. I watched in my powerbook G4 and I intent to take the other anime in my trip to Brazil. It is a great relaxing, enjoyable surreal world. I will treasure this one with others in my new anime collection. Thanks for listening!!!Movie Review: Epic Anime Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
This sweeping anime epic follows an aging actress as she tells the story of her life to two documentary filmmakers. This films storyline is not linear so any synopsis would not due it justice. Needless to say if you are a fan of Anime.. Not just the fanboy or mecha anime but gorgeous animation with mature themes and stories. You will be blown away by this film. Even if anime is not your cup of tea, the sophistaced story will awaken you to the fact that animation is not just for kids anymore. Easily one of the best films I have seen this past year.Movie Review: Very Depressing
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is very sad. I went to see it with some friends, thinking that it would be very upbeat. The movie is very beautiful in that it crafts the story around her movies. The entire film is about how her films have changed her life. Near the end of the movie, it gets very sad, and someone in the theatre was crying. It was amazing to see how much unconditional love she had for someone she didn't know. The ending was very amazing too, and it just makes you think about the movie even more. I recommend it for people that want their day ruined.Movie Review: All the lives of Chiyoko-san
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very touching movie and an elaborate journey through time. We don't really get to see Chiyoko's inner character that much, but we still end up liking her. The ending is sad, but fits perfectly with the rest of the story. The only problem is that anime newbies might have a problem with the complicated story. But one good thing about anime is that some of it makes you really think. This is one of those anime. I usually rate Hayao Miyazaki's movies high on my favorites list, but this is up there too with the rest of them. Highly recommended!Movie Review: Outstanding Cultural Achievement
Summary: 5 Stars
Millennium Actress is an outstanding form of art which using video as a means of being expressed. The story plot is captivating, the symbolism is great, and the visuals are outstanding. The historical relevancy adds to the story as it goes through 20th Century Japanese imperialism which leads to the modern era.
The one slightly annoying factor is is the two video cameramen who make their inputs into the storyline. The reasons for them there was ok just a little unrealistic.
