Watching "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea"
I finally watched the animated film, “Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea” by Hayao Miyazaki. I have very high expectation, but I still enjoyed it a lot. Hayao Miyazaki is a highly regarded Japanese film director and his works include, “Spirited Away“, “Princess Mononoke”, “My Neighbor Totoro” and so on. “Ponyo” was released last year in Japan, and I was waiting to see it for a long time. Its English dub version came to the US and Canada last month. I was fortunate to get the Japanese copy from a friend. It is a simple story that young children can enjoy. I was surprised how much I was moved by it. I love the closing song, too. If you are learning Japanese you will probably be able to understand a lot of it as much of the dialogue is spoken by a five-year-old boy. I think you will feel good about your studies if you can catch some of the dialogue. I hope you can see it with Japanese with sub-titles, if possible.
