Ponyo

Do you remember how you felt when you were five years old? Ponyo, which is Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea in Japanese, is fantastic human animated movie, which remind me the delightful feeling that I have forgot for long time, by Studio Ghibli in Japan. This movie was written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, who is known as extraordinary animator in Japan. This movie was released in Japan in 2008 and was distributed to the U, S in 2009. It recorded 15billion yen as Gross revenue in Japan and won the Academy awards of Japan in 2008 according to Tokyo Graph in Japan.
Accordingto Yahoo news in Japan, it is remarkable for the casts in English version because Noah Cyrus, who is known as young star Miley Cyrus’ sister, is casted as Ponyo. Furthermore, Cate Blanchett, who is winner of the Oscar, is casted as Ponyo’s mother.
This movie is under the inspiration of the Little Mermaid, which was written by Hans Christian Andersen. The scene of the story is in Tomonoura, Japan. This movie is about the story that the growth of five year old boy Sousuke, while his hometown is inundated with the flood. He decides that he protects her from others and he tries to deliver on it. I love this movie because it makes me happy and pure after watching this movie. In addition, this movie described some current problems in Japan such as graying society. In my opinion, it allows me to receive the distinct message from this movie.
Originally, the most of the animated movie are for kids but this movie gives every generation deep emotion. Moreover, you can find new thing if you watch this movie more than once. I recommend everyone watch this movie more than once. It is worth watching many times. Hopefully, this movie will be nominated for the Academy Awards in the U.S in 2010 and win. If you want to feel warm, I recommend you this movie.
