Movie Reviews of Whisper of the Heart
Movie Review: affection for the characters and their lives
Summary: 5 Stars
what a lovely film this is. i had seen "the cat returns" and been rather disappointed by it after enjoying many other studio ghibli things greatly, but "whisper of the heart" is totally different, both in the kind of thing it's trying to do (it's not fantasy) and in its levels of emotion and inventiveness. i'm giving this film full marks - sure there are things i don't like so much here (e.g. the kitschiness of the baron himself and his lady friend), but they're of minor significance. the characters are so great - i feel such affection for them that it's genuinely sad to reach the end of the film and know that that's all i am ever going to know about their lives.
as a bonus, if you watch the dub, that's very nicely done as well.
Movie Review: Inspirational, Breath-taking animation
Summary: 5 Stars
It was love at first sight when I saw this tale years ago. At first, I admit, I hadn't wanted to watch it. It looked like a lot of other movies out there that I had seen, but this movie is beyond amazing. Not only is the animation breath-taking and amazingly done, but the film itself is an inspiration.
I recommend watching this to anyone. It was not only inspirational to make you want to go out and chase your dream, but after watching it, I got over my writer's block and finished my own work I had been working on. I, to this day, use Whisper of the Heart as a means to get past writers block and it hasn't failed me yet.
This movie is one to keep for a lifetime.
Movie Review: Slow moving but sweet
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first saw Whisper of the Heart, it seemed to go on forever. This was because I had seen its sequel, the aptly titled The Cat Returns, first. If you haven't seen either yet, I recommend seeing Whisper of the Heart first. It's slightly slow, and focuses on the nuances of everyday life more than adventure. The main character, a girl named Shizuku, wants to be a writer and finds inspiration in The Baron, a beautiful statue of a nattily dressed cat. However, the story takes its time in transcribing Shizuku's life and thus might be boring to some who like adventure. I recommend Castle in the Sky or Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind if this movie sounds too boring for you.Movie Review: Beautiful Work
Summary: 5 Stars
I have finally seen this movie and I fell in love with both the storyline and the art as well as the characters about 7 months ago I got The Cat Returns and I watched the special features and it showed scenes from Whisper of the Heart and ever since I have wanted this movie I got to watch it from one of my friends and as soon as I get paid I will be going to buy it it would be worth every penny I think. I would recommend this movie to anyone, as well as My Neighbor Totoro I just saw that one as well I liked that one also. Now that I have seen it I was mad at myself that I hadnt seen it before now. I love this movie get it when u have the chanceMovie Review: A Wonderful Film
Summary: 5 Stars
Miyazaki, the master filmmaker behind Studio Ghibli, has produced another fine film with "Whisper of the Heart." This movie, like his others, can be enjoyed by younger audiences and adults. Children will see it as a boy meets girl movie, but older viewers will admire both the story and the exquisite scenery provided by Studio Ghibli. We have yet to be disappointed by any of Mizazaki's works, and this film is a fine blend of story and art, and of the world we live in and the fantasy that awaits us just around the corner. This is an excellent and beautiful movie from the master of Japanese animated cinema.
