Cameo says:My favorite Hayao Miyazaki movie ever, I saw it in the theatres when it came out in America & I was transfixed to the screen the entire time. It’s beautiful, has a great story, awesome characters where you even relate to the ‘bad guy’ bc they have redeeming qualities. It has a timeless message about man learning to coexist w/ nature & trying to see all sides of every issue but still fighting for what’s right. |
