just witnessed miyazaki's film ponyo this evening with jenna at the coolidge corner theatre. i left inspired, wide-eyed, delighted, altogether rosied with a wonderful story and old-school animation. you just need to watch it -- the humor, voicing and timing is not easily portrayed secondhand -- but instant wins in my book:
  • the gorgeous, silent introductory scene exploding with detail, supporting a serene balance of an ecosystem shimmering in tandem
  • jellyfish! so many jellyfish!
  • the mutually neurotic tendencies of the stripey-suited father and earthbound lisa
  • the extreme evocation of the ocean, the light, the color, the fluidity
  • octopus sneaking its way into the house
  • the intoxicating magic of ramen
  • mass-guppy tickling of scary-eyed water demons
  • casual appearance by enormous, scaly, prehistoric fish
  • the dry, crazy humor of cranky old people
  • the vaguely Renn-faire speak, "kiss this bubble, child, when you reach to the surface"
and, as an aside, the haunting resemblance between ponyo and the little pilgrims (night walking) by yoshitomo nara:
