Many animated films in Japan are very good, and the Hayao Miyazaki series is the first to be recommended.
1. "Spirited Away"
"Please don't forget what happened in the past." You may have forgotten just because you can't remember it."
A process of finding yourself or self-recovery, I think it is Hayao Miyazaki's best film. Every time when I watch these masterpieces, I think that they are cartoons and were drawn stroke by stroke by a group of talented people. I feel that I am really sorry for them if I miss a single frame!
2. "My Neighbor Totoro"
My Neighbor Totoro, such a romantic fantasy. The disappearing rural scenery, kind grandparents, and childhood playmates laughing and chasing each other are the most innocent and beautiful memories of childhood. Hayao Miyazaki is truly a genius with a soft heart. Can give so much warmth to this cruel world. Totoro is really like a childhood dream, which seems to be forgotten when you grow up. Suddenly seeing its furry body, you remember all your extravagant hopes. This is probably what we can comfort each other with in our loneliness. No matter what, maturity is a disease, and what can cure it is probably the most tender desire for this world.
3. "Howl's Moving Castle"
In Hayao Miyazaki's film. Grandmas are ugly. But they are all good old ladies. So far, I think Hal is the most handsome male character in Hayao Miyazaki's works. Every time the music of the two jumping on the rooftop when they first met was played, I felt inexplicably sad. It is precisely because of this feeling that it is my favorite.
Innocence and loss, eternal themes, also eternally awaken my dreams. The so-called magic is not just weaving a dream so that you can walk into it and make it seem real.
4. "Castle in the Sky"
Only when you rewatch Castle in the Sky many years later can you understand more clearly that Hayao Miyazaki's attention to detail is not just a momentary move. Through his works, Hayao Saki can help you gradually understand the value of life and the role of love and peace. But... it's still puppy love!
Good movies never lose their flavor as time goes by, but become more and more fragrant, just like the wine in the cellar. Joe Hisaishi's music is perfect. Although the graphics are hand-drawn, they are full of intimacy. The story background is rich in details, the characters are vividly drawn, and there are profound themes that are different from ordinary animations.
5. "Princess Mononoke"
Miyazaki Hayao's theme goes straight to the heart of mankind - "the relationship between man and nature". Although Hayao Miyazaki himself did not have the answer, he endured the pain at an advanced age and completed this great epic animation that touched the depths of human heart. Coupled with the finishing touch of the soundtrack by Hisaishi, the whole film is full of rich ancient Japanese style, creating a desolate, vast and soul-stirring effect. Shocked and shocked! Hayao Miyazaki's best work
