We also forget why we do what we do, and it becomes all about trying not to be judged, conforming. Our private selves are folded away, the self we speak to in front of the mirror and tuck into bed at night. The soul of our personal life experience is captured in a sludge of monotony. It becomes replaced literally carries you into another dimension.Wether your a writer, poet, Film buff, animator, artist, my gosh the list is endless. Whoever you are this film will swallow you whole, it is incredible. It has to be added to your collection. Check out more Miyazaki films below, don't just be a fan...be a fanatic
