Movie Reviews of Whisper of the Heart
Movie Review: Whisper of the Heart
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been Anime fan since Totoro and I would rate Whisper of the Heart as one of the best. It, as with some Anime for children, portrays an intelligent, viable approach on life as a teenager or making that difficult transition from adolescent into adulthood, unlike most of the youth culture movies/tv in America today. It not only is entertaining but retains it's youthful essence throughout with a magical flair. At times, it can be corny, but not over-the-top. All in all, I would recommend this as a great family film.Movie Review: Another great Studio Ghibli film
Summary: 5 Stars
Another great film from Studio Ghibli. I've been collecting all of their movies and haven't been dissapointed yet.Movie Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie and really identified with the characters. I actually bought this movie before seeing it because I had seen The Cat Returns and thought this would be just as good. It was even better than I expected because there was a depth of character in this movie that is not seen in The Cat Returns (though it is also a wonderful movie). I would recommend this for children and adults, a heart warming movie.Movie Review: Not bad but also not what I expected
Summary: 3 Stars
My girls own all of Miyazaki's other movies. This one has the art style they expected but has a romantic storyline and a mundane quality that didn't appeal to them. Not terrible or anything, just different. Movie Review: Slow, but moving
Summary: 4 Stars
With the exception of "Sunday in the Park with George" by Stephen Sondheim, this animated movie is one of the most moving dialogues I have seen about the insecurities, difficulties, and eventual joys of the artistic process.
As an extra bonus, the second DVD of this movie has the original storyboard (or at least a large portion of it) shown in sync with the audio of the movie playing in the background. This shows very clearly the artistic genius of Hayao Miyazaki, and just how much of his creative vision is infused into this movie.
As with other Studio Ghibli films, I felt that it moved rather slow, but nowhere near as slow as Castle in the Clouds.
Recommended.
