      "I'll be honest: 'My Neighbor Totoro' is my favorite movie. "

      "To be honest: My Neighbor Totoro is my favorite movie. I'm not going to modify, add, or delete a single frame. It's almost perfect, a shining moment in a great director's career, everything is at its peak. Hayao Miyazaki Skilled in every aspect of animation production is true to its name, and there is nothing like this movie to showcase those skills. It's so beautiful that every frame could hang on a gallery wall. (Many do this more than once.) Gibb Force Studios produced the film alongside...

      This is childhood

      The film depicts the beautiful nature of Japan before the high economic development, the incredible world and rich imagination that only children can see, and is widely welcomed by the public because it evokes the nostalgia of the audience. This is Miyazaki's beautiful representation of the countryside.
      The story of Chinchilla made me feel as warm and real as it happened to the little girl next door, so close to life. There are no gorgeous pictures, only simple stories. However, it is this...

      May everyone have a chinchilla in their hearts

      Totoro is a very warm film, I really like that cute and safe animal

      The disappearing countryside scenery, the kind grandparents, the childhood playmates laughing and chasing, the background music of the film can make my heart temporarily relax and remind me of the purest and most beautiful childhood memories.

      Totoro is a perceptive animal, a brilliant fantasy. I hope everyone has a Totoro in their hearts. When we lose our way and lose our souls, we can think of it. The love in...

      like a metaphor of life

      Watching "My Neighbor Totoro" again, it's not like I watched it when I was a child, and I frequently showed the Japanese-style exaggerated expression. When it dripped onto the nose, it still showed a soft look.

      There is a very small point that shakes my heart, that is, the dust spirit like the small briquettes in Spirited Away, which adults cannot see; The eyes of the dust elf can only see dust. like a metaphor of life,

      Growing up is a process of seeing the world slowly change...

      No one knows why, the sun always goes down to the other side of the mountain, and no one can tell me if there are gods living in the mountain, how many days there is always a person staring at the sky in a daze, just so curious and so imaginative, Such a lonely...

    The beautiful pictures of this film are full of the fresh breath of rural countryside, but there are many thrilling scenes in the film. Although it makes the audience a little nervous, it is also the appeal of the film. Both adults and children can resonate in the film. It can be said to be suitable for all ages.
