IMG_2794 movie sketch 1 Movie: Whisper of The Heart

Maybe you wonder how you could pronounce it; the Japanese title is ‘Mimiosumasuba’. It is one art piece. Well, I do not want to throw you tons of information/ historical background/ achievements of the artist: 宮崎駿 Hayao Miyazaki. But, I would encourage you to see some of his work (not just movies, some sketches and crude work before artwork being published.

This movie introduces two high school students in the same small town. They are going through the toughest period before they graduate, having self-direction towards what they are passion about.

The girl likes to read, reading, reading the whole summer. And, that’s when they meet through the traditional way of library card for borrowing books. (OH, I do miss IT!! We do need it, and I really think so.)

Such intimate thing that you could ever imagine; using the ID card of books from someone who has read before.

The ending is very encouraging and hopeful; nothing sad or dramatic happens. You could enjoy it, feeling the old days. Here is a LINK (watch 11:42 clip) to the orchestra for (mostly) the artist’s movies.
