Yesterday I watched this animated film, “Ponyo on the cliff by the sea”. It is a film by Studio Ghibli, written and directed by the Hayao Miyazaki, the same person who directed the eccentric film, “Spirited Away”. I really like the film and it reminds me of “The Little Mermaid” by Disney. It’s is a story of a fish who ran away from home to see the human world on the surface. She got caught in glass jar and got rescued by Sosuke, a five years old human boy. Eventually they developed a special friendship with each other and Sosuke promised to take care of Ponyo forever. Ponyo, then wishes to become a human girl to stay with Sosuke but she is brought back to sea by her furious father. That’s a little extract of the film. You have to watch this film. It’s very entertaining and the story really touches about the pure innocence of childhood love. I’m going to watch it again tomorrow. Ponyo, Ponyo, ponyo….this song are stuck in my mind.
