Hi Charlie!
This week on FRANCE
4, something AMAZING is going to happen. The channel will
broadcast three fantastic animes by Hayao Miyazaki.
He co-founded with Isao
Takahata the Ghibli studios which produce masterpieces since 1985 (I
wasn't even born!!!). Their films distinguish themselves from others
mangas by a special atmosphere, musics and drawings: a wonderful
feeling of being so small in such a huge world with endearing
characters (and so kawaii!!!). Moreover, each film sounds like a
fable with a morality and a message of hope (it always begins rather
bad and ends up pretty good).
Princess Mononoke deals
with nature survival in an industrial world, - still a nowadays'
challenge for our modern society. To put it in a nutshell, I'd like
to quote this from one of the characters 'you must see with eyes
unclouded by hate'.
It will be broadcast on
Sunday, the 25th (tomorrow actually ^^) at 8.50 pm.
For their part, Spirited
Away and Howl's Moving Castle will be both broadcast on Wednesday,
the 28th from 8.50 pm.
I hope this will make you
want to discover them, or discover again, and that you will enjoy
them as much as I do...
