ABlipinTime's Review Miyasaki brings us another classic, this time based off the story of the Borrowers. Never having read that book, I cannot compare the two, though I imagine great similarity. However, the story naturally inherits the skewed view of "borrowing" without permission as not being stealing. We also see the funny ethical issue of what to do with people who are tiny and by nature not the same species as humans (but they are?). The story centers on this ethical dilemma and you spend most of the movie thinking about it. On the other hand, you get to enjoy the classical Miyazaki feel that accompanies all of his films because Miyazaki can make even your backyard an adventure playground. Final remarks: I didn't rate this all that highly because you kinda feel unsatisfied after watching the film. Very little is actually accomplished. Nevertheless, it's a rather calm and entertaining film suitable for the whole family. |
