have you ever seen Laputa of Castle of the Sky, Nausicaa of Valley of the Wind?

well, if you even REMOTELY liked it (anyone of those), this one is gonna kill you. no argument, purely, definitively slaughter of your mind. although the movie itself is rated strictly PG.

AND, even if you never heard of Laputa, GO WATCH IT ANYWAY. I am going to tell you how I started from a non-believer to the religious fanatic of the movie.

earlier today, I was walking on the Loop, St. Louis with my friend Charlie. We saw a 16-bit colored poster portraying a lil girl on the side wall of a restaraunt. My friend jumped and yelled "HOLY SH*T, Spirited Away???" then he went on to tell me how popular the movie is in asia, how much a hot stuff it is. and he procceded on telling me how only LA and NYC had the theatres playing it. all the time, I was "yeah yeah, just a childish movie".

well, I decided to give it a beneafit of doubt, at his STRONG insistence. Boy, am I GLAD I listened to him. The movie is something I cannot described. to give my best try, it brings to a magical place where your dreams once lived. and if that made sense at all, I failed. and that is only a glipse of the movie.

mmmmm, say, it is like eating a piece of fruit. it is sweet, but not creamy and choking, everything you've ever expected and more. makes you keep wondering and enjoying.

ok, I have to stop here, for more words will only eventually ruin the magic of this movie.

a link for you all reference:

Spirited Away

P.S.
remember if you want COMPLETE enjoyment, DO NOT watch the trailers. (btw, the trailers aint much, the english trailers are misleading, and DOES NOT give you any idea on whats going on.)
