Hayao Miyazaki's "Ponyo" is a colorful sight of a film to see with a beautiful way to tell a story of how the test of friendship can LITERALLY disbalance the earth. What a way to tell a film without having a bad guy, it's all about something for the good of all kinds, not just man. Miyazaki likes to put the awareness and importance of maintaining the sustainability of our earth, our environment. I like the slight agresssive attack towads that thematic and how it overall ties to the film. it's a character of it's own, if you ask me. What's there to say, the film is enjoyable. It's a story you can definitely invest your energy in because it does take you for a ride. To see the sequence of Ponyo catching up to the BAD ASS tiny car, is really a testament to the art of anime filmmaking. Thank you, Hayao Miyazaki for giving us "Ponyo".

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Good morning. This is morning real. If I see it,
I review it is a three to four to a
minute or so podcast of films that I review of
all colors, of all nationalities. I review it now. I'm
very happy to review this film. I like this film
a lot. Man. I don't know why. Man, it's it's different.
(00:22):
You know. You wouldn't think that a film like this
could be made in America. That's because it was made
in Japan. And I like to say that I enjoyed
this film very very much. It's very powerful and it's
fit for all ages, you know, from children to adults.
There's a good message about it. Hayamiyazaki's Ponyo, It's literal
(00:46):
translation in Japanese is Ponyo on the cliff or gake
no no Ponyo. That's how they say it. I guess
to two thousand and eight Japanese animated fantasy film, written,
directed by Hayao Miyazaki, produced by Toshio Zuzuki, cinematography by
(01:06):
Asushio Kui, edited by Takeshi Sayama, music by Johsaishi Production
Company Studio GHIBLI, distributed by Toho. And it's a Japanese
spoken language film. There's a really good film, man, And
I'm glad that this film never got their pause from
like Disney up until like you know, later in the
(01:29):
year where it got a US dub. Now, I saw
the thirty five millimeter version of this film, and it
looks really good on screen. The colors pop, dude. And
that's the thing about this film. You know, when you're
watch it on the big old screen, you just notice
the colors. I mean, it's an animated film where you know,
(01:50):
humans don't really look completely like humans. You know, there's
a very like Japanese anime style into it, right. But
when you know what, when you look at the film, man,
you know where you're at, you know who you're watching,
and you eventually know what's going on. And Miyazaki he
loves telling stories with strong characters, especially when it comes
(02:13):
to children. You know, the children in this film are
not that they're not dumb, it's just they're acting like
the ages that they are. And in this film, the
ages are on point as far as like how preteens
act or children act. Same thing with the adults. The
adults act like act like adults, they act like parents.
Because you know, the whole story about this film is Panyo.
(02:37):
She's like a goldfish princess and her mom is basically
like the embodiment of the ocean, of our ocean, of
our Earth. And you got Ponyo. You got so scared?
Who takes in Ponyo after Panya decides, you know what,
I want to be free. I want to like, I
(02:57):
don't want to be this princess. I don't want to
be right next to a thousands and dozens and dozens
of Ponyo's, you know, like, she wants to be different.
And Koichi is the father of Sosk. We got Lisa,
the mother of Sosk. You got Grand Mamari was played
(03:20):
by Cablin Chad in the English version. Fujimoto played by
Lison who Lea and Lisaman did a great voice acting
job in this film. He plays. Fujimoto is basically the
father of Ponyo, who he is carried with a huge
responsibility which is basically making sure the balance of the moon,
(03:42):
the balance of life is like at where it should
be managed balance. He's the guy for it. And the
day that Ponya decides to leave, all hell breaks loose.
You know, the world's at this balanced. You got ties
that are like super huge because if if it's affected
by the moon, and like how they incorporate the moon
(04:04):
in this film even though like it's funny, these these
things are like characters are on their own, and Panyo
just wants to be different. She meets so Sky, Soski
feeds her food, takes her in, takes care of her,
and she wants to be like his best friend. Dude.
It's it's kind of like an et type of film,
you know, and Soski is like, you know what, well,
I'm gonna do what I can. And the mom obviously
(04:25):
is like, I guess she's pretty cool with it, you know,
at least to her understanding of it. And I don't
know if that's like a Japanese thing or not, but
in the film, it's it's quite a morale to like
to have you know, where, like you can take people in.
You know, the family took in Ponyo. They took her,
took her in better, you know, made sure she slept good,
(04:47):
make sure she had someplace to be comfortably. And the
next thing, you know, Panyo kind of like adds to
their life and crazy that the more she adds to it,
the more the world's at this balanced and fujimotives going no,
it's trying to look for his daughter to restore it.
All things happened in the film where we go on
(05:07):
this little adventure of basically restoring the balance. You know,
it's very simple film, but there's a lot of there's
a lot of thematics in this film. You know, it's
kind of almost a lot for I guess like your
average child too. But when an adult looks at it,
such as like myself, you see these thematics and you're
(05:28):
like WHOA man like Miyazaki is a serious dude man.
He cares about human beings, but he also cares about
life around him, which is the environment. You know, he
puts a lot of that issue in most of his films,
where we shouldn't mess up our environment, we shouldn't mess
up the ocean. You know, we should be a much
(05:49):
more compassionate and just a caring species man, because we
are occupying this earth, this land, and like this is
the only thing that we got. Much like how in
the film where the mom needs to basically go to
the old folks home because they are in need, they
(06:09):
need help, and she's trying to take care of them,
despite all the crap that's happening around her, and she
doesn't really you know, it's not like that she doesn't care.
It's just like, you know, she's very selfless, you know,
and that's like something to really take a lesson on.
You know, not a lot of people are selfish, and
it's hard to be selfless. You know, it's very easy
(06:31):
to be selfish, you know, especially how the media likes
to put that out there. You know, whether like we
pay attention to it or not. You know, it's it's
there regardless, pushing us day in and day out. You know,
when you watch this film, you're gonna enjoy it. You know.
Love the colors, you know, love the way the motion
is with these characters, especially when things are moving. I
(06:52):
like the theme of you know, just helping one another,
having compassion and you know, making sure that our environment
is you know, maintained, and we should like not just
maintain it, but enrich it, you know. And it's not
gonna take a movie to do it. But it's good
that a movie like this really puts it out there,
and it puts it out there and they I mean,
(07:15):
it's it's a positive outlook. When the when the film ends, right, Like,
I can't tell you what happens in the end of
the film, but it's it's pretty beautiful ending of a film,
you know, like it people kind of do get what
they want when like they put everything for it. You know.
That's another thing too, you know, like when you know
what you're doing and you're giving it your own, you know,
like something good could come out of it, you know,
(07:37):
and the film obviously did, especially for all the characters,
and even the supporting characters too, like the old folks,
great supporting cast, you know, like these group of old women,
you know, aged women where just because they are limited
as to how they're living in their means and the
accessibility of it, but it doesn't limit like the amount
(08:02):
of wisdom that they've just developed and earned throughout the
years of their lives, you know. And some of it
is kind of way off. Some of it is very sweet,
but it's like these different personalities. It's very universal because
everybody's different, but as different as we are, when some
mess up stuff happens, we come together and we help
(08:24):
each other out, and you know, it's that same thing
all over again. Follow me. I morning shot films. I
give this film a complete four out of four. That
was a real one. Four toks man, four tokus all
the way. Man, you can never go wrong with a
Miyazaki film straight up. There's always something to learn. Not
(08:48):
only is there something to learn, there is always something
cool to look at. And the way Miyazaki tells stories,
you know, putting strong characters in the lead and not
making everybody a bad guy. You know, it's like we
make ourselves the bad guy. But sometimes like things happen
because they like they just sort of happen and it
doesn't mean that it's evil, you know, like life just happens.
(09:10):
And it's kind of hard to write a film like that,
especially like kind of like a kid's action based film,
even though it's not really meant primarily for kids. You know,
Like it's like I said, it means like I did
a great job to basically target all audiences and put
all kinds of bells and whistles and concerns that everybody
(09:30):
would take upon when it comes to a film like
The People Who Inhabit Panyo. Check out my website Marinshawfilms
dot CEO. I got a bunch of cool stuff. I
got a song of the week. All you gotta do
is type my website forward, slash, song dash, the dash
of dash, the dash week song of the week, whatever,
(09:56):
