Proper Way To Masterbaate

last thing I have seen ...


For some reason or another something prevented me to see this movie, that is, was one of those films that desperately seek but it is always the copy rented or have a problem ... it's horrible when that happens, especially if you want a copy for you, at least I have the habit of collecting every one of the movies that leave a mark in my memory (some of my personal collection, are "the big fish , discovering the Neverland, Nightmare Before Christmas, Pride and Prejudice, Little Miss sunshine, Final Fantasy VII, the butterfly effect ", etc, etc, I have more, but those are some of the most stressed and I repeat again, I would like to add Amelie, but the same thing happens to me with this, I makes it impossible to find).

Just the other day it occurred to me to use my great savior ... You-tube ... and, well, finally saw her. Without a doubt, fulfilled all my expectations, In fact, I liked it better than Spirited Away.

The story is about a young woman, Sophie, who works in the headgear he inherited from his father, in a way shows a certain disregard for the kind of life you lead. A day, when traveling to the city, to visit his sister, he meets Hauru, which owns the castle street usually walk around the city, this is a magician feared, especially by women because they think they will eat the heart . At that time, as ovbio, Sophie did not know it was the magician in question, so it did not take much importance, that same day, however, was visited by a witch, which was an old magician's love and I was jealous of Sophie, so he swore that he took the youth, hence it decided to start a journey. On this voyage, arrives at the castle and gets to know more about Hauru and other characters, over time you realize that Hauru fell in love and that loves him, but his curse and a growing war are high ........ obstacles that may separate them more than anything, the story is that, broadly speaking, of course!

The drawing is very good and very tender story, but I think this would not be enough if it were not accompanied by his remarkable soundtrack, I think the stronger for this kind of movie is based on a "solo piano" with some very faint and sweet melody, which somehow comes to your heart and stays in your mind, at least for a couple of days.



In these films also often happens that if the characters are not spherical (spherical concerns in the literature, those who are changing, ie beginning and end a way of another, with respect to his character) and are linear (linear are those that do not change their way throughout the whole story), I just do not call attention, I like to go through obstacles and have a story behind the smiling facade, I think in that way I identify with them. In fact I get to fall in love with certain characters, put them and idealizing, by its nature, to form the love of my life, which I doubt will ever be encountered, because I realized that asking a lot, jajajajajja.
In the case of this movie I fell in love with Hauru, the owner's Moving Castle, which, in turn, is a powerful magician, a mysterious but very tender, even I would say that is a little childish. I liked a lot because they always smiling. And even if you shout km the Great Wall that sets between him and the rest, something has to make you feel and ask why this is so, and somehow through that wall want to be by her side and to support it.


Yes ... it can be pretty pathetic to say that I fell in love with the characters in the stories I see and read, but I think it's because in reality, in our daily living, and characters do not exist, maybe I'm not in love with them, but I'm in love with the fantasy of utopia to believe that something or someone like that.
then two spot of the movie, which if I remember correctly, were used in Spain. I have to use foreigners here in Chile because he was not given much publicity, in fact, only films that are successful at the box office for two weeks straight or are highly promoted are those that are better known here in Chile, Luckily, as I love film, this does not affect me, I always know from the movies that sometimes here and there do not even influence my dear You-tube that allows me to see them ...

I think pretty well occupied resources the images are correct and the music adheres well to them, in fact, I think to promote the movie "commercially", these spots are much more effective than the original trailer, the latter did not want to put it because I do not like the way it was working, but can find it in my trusty friend
YOUTUBE

The last video that I attached is the scene when Sophie sees for the first time Hauru is in English, the had found in English, but I did not like dubbing. I wanted to put another scene that I liked but also not found and one I had was the end, which would not have been fair for those who still do not see the movie.

worth more than say that the movie is recommended, I think that unlike Chihiro, this movie manages and has a better ending, I do not know if it will be a career as director has mania to end the stories as if someone came chasing or as if the artists had been tired of drawing and went on strike. That bothers me a bit, because if the movie does not achieve a good outcome can ruin all the previous work, we must be very careful with that, I hope to see Princess Mononoke and my neighbor ... I do not remember how to spell , but is one of Miyazaki's early work for Disney if I remember correctly.

The truth is that I have loved reading the book, as well as I knew it was narrated the original ending, but unfortunately ... Chile is light years ahead of us get this kind of literature, I do not know if it is sad and pathetic, I think it is a shame that it takes attention and funding and destructive aspects, because it does not give priority to culture ... culture is all around us, if we climb the ladder of underdeveloped countries to developed, we must first open our minds and be able to accept our environment.

At the same time I think this is very poorly played by publishers, because with every movement of "tribes urban ", I am sure many consumers would have (in fact, I remember when I wrote about Twilight, then I had gone to multiple libraries and all looked at me like crazy, telling me that the book did not exist, but now we can see trilogy in their cases, even the last time I went to quote books in the libraries of one of the sellers he remembered me and said: here is the book exist, we laugh a lot). I will not be part of any of these tribes, because I feel stupid to pigeonhole your soul, that is why I am always aware of everything that caught my attention and I do not just (one of my philosophies of life), but I am part of those who want to know and learn, is quite unfair, but at least we have the "internet", this powerful weapon that can be of much good if we use it ...

Many greetings and wishes Michel Fox affection! (Remember this is my pseudonym, perhaps in the future put my real name) Bye Bye

Chest Pain Metallic Taste

Makoto Shinkai, the independent anime

Holas!, The greeting from afar (hate that word, do not know why I use), as I have I mentioned, one of my latest obsessions is the anime and manga The truth is that I had always liked Japanese cartoons, I remember as a kid would say ... "I will cartoonist monkeys" ... it is incredible for all stages and dreams that we, and then forget and discard ... I will say that I am a person with the worst memory of all, I am very forgetful, especially when it comes to matters of my life, but hey, that's not what this entry, so proceed ...

Even before they had spoken of Makoto Shinkai, but now remembered as descrubrí ... was looking for my personal brand (one of the first jobs I did in the race ) ... anyway ... now I've started to see some more of this remarkable artist and every time I like.

I left with the short attach them here:

"She and her cat

-Other worlds

Although the techniques are somewhat basic, we must remember that this artist is" independent " as he prepares alone all his work, I'd say the only thing it would not the music, which makes it one of his friends, "Tenmon", so it would be a big difference, the latter emphasized his solo piano for 5 centimeters per second (END THEME) I think it was his music with the images of the trailer that caught my eye ... no doubt are a perfect complement.

important thing is that each of the stories Shinkai, for short they are, remain a great content, especially when it comes to their characters, I like that these are complex and demonstrate the true essence of life. .. things are not easy, the long distance and time separate us from there ... I think I felt more identify with him, but I will explain in the next post ...

I saw his first movie, which took him to the recognition of other independent media in this release can be seen two major features of the author that it is in all his other works, these are: distance love, that ... in some ways with the passage of the stories happens to become an impossible love and text messaging cell phones ... certainly deserves a big applause, the work is quite well made and not everyone does something well, just stay with me a little taste, I wanted to know what was wrong with the character on earth (leading man).

I think the "first look" or, rather, the first impression he gave me when I saw the trailer Shinkai than 5 centimeters, based on his great talent in the visual, in certain scenes, it was like the characters only maintained the features of a cartoon and that landscapes come to be very realistic, as I read on another blog (which encouraged me to continue the work by this author) work by Makoto Shinkai is "art in motion." To be honest to re-read what I wrote recently came to my mind a scene from "Spirited Away" (when Chihiro and Haku are among the flowers)


light poles, streets that do not walk anyone and only see the sunset, streets filled with people who do not look at each other, railroad tracks, trains ("metro" to me), cellular, prospective, philosophies of life, characters suffer but that still retain the hope despite all, sweet and deep tones of voice-overs, promises not You can get to meet, loneliness, friendship, love, long distance, impossible love, love in time, first love, unrequited love, schools, studios, stages of life, loss of faith in the promises and landing reality, distance ... a great and perfect soundtrack in which the protagonist is the piano, in fact, I remember a bit of "Amelie" (and his talented composer Yann Tiersen) ... all these elements often appear to prominence in his works, but nevertheless repeated at any time seem somehow makes them blend in with their stories, I would say that everything above is part of his signature and personal branding ... ..


Hoshi no Koe (Voices of a star distant)

Kumo no Muko , Yakusoku no Basho (Beyond the clouds, the promised place)

Byōsoku Go Senchimētoru (5 Centimeters per Second)

As far as I know, are the three films or at least, are the most important, I have seen the first and third, second and discharge, I just need to see it ...

With that I completed , many greetings!
