借りぐらしのアリエッティ
As I mentioned in previous entry, this island is going to some weather transformation. The winds doesn't know which way to blow and sometime get confused over the season. I avoid going out at this time.
Sometimes I do get stuck over plotting and story lines. I guess this is a good time to explore. Explore for me is not going into abyss blue lagoon under the sea or struggling over thick iceberg on the Himalaya. No, those are too much suffering.
There are many novels and comic books that are adapted into drama series and anime in Japan. Some of these novels are historical and some educational. Mostly those novel adapted in movies are block-busters and written by famous writers.
I will write down some of the movies and anime as we go along. Such a waste to let people out of Japan to be ignored.
If you see the screen up there, the title is Karigurashi no Arriety or Arriety-The Borrower.
This animation is from Gibli Studio which made Tonari no Totoro. The story is about a community of small people living underground. They survive by borrowing (actually taking) food from houses like lump of sugar or tissue papers. They cleverly hide but live peacefully without betraying their existence in this world.
I was studying the screen. I see every grass and how the winds blow those flowers, nature brought out so real and alive, though just anime or graphic drawing. One can never compare the talent of those graphic artists from Gibli Studio.

assalamualaikum kak leyla~ ini yasmin peminat novel akak~ ^^
ReplyDeletei've watched The Borrower Arietty with my sister last year~ it's a very interesting movie since there're some tiny people called 'the borrower' which we did not call it 'borrowing' people's stuff instead of 'stealing'~ xDD quite funny hehe~ and I REALLY love the story VEERY MUCH!! hountou ni suki desu! >///< demo ne, i don't like the ending part which they have to be apart TT^TT i want the hero and arietty to stay together~ and wonder about the hero's disease, whether he'll survive in surgery or not. it makes me sad. cerita dia macam tergantung.
and i've watched almost all of Studio Ghiblis productions~ and mostly i watched it with my family~ i loveee hayao miyazaki's works! ^^
Laputa is one of the 1st awesome adventure movie made by them, including nausicca, totoro, kiki's delivery service and many more.
But there are some that have been listed in my MOST FAVORITE MOVIE list (by studio ghibli) :
- Grave Of The Fireflies
- Spirited Away
- The Cat Returns
- Howl's Moving Castle
- Ponyo
Those listed movies were like, whenever i watch them, tears will come out. and it makes me want to re-watch them over and over~ like seriously, how beautiful studio ghiblis's movies are!!! masterpiece! xDD especially Grave Of Fireflies. i'll cry really hard.
there are some other anime movies produced by other companies which is also teary whenever watching them~ i forgot some of the titles but the thing i only remember is that it is about this first movie.. about KAPPA?? it's a legendary animal in japan right?? xD the story is soooo heartbreaking~ makes me cried whenever i watched it~ ahhh how i missed my old times. now i'm more to other stuffs.
sorry for my poor english~ ^^ but i hope i've shared something with u~<3 take care kak leyla.
With love,
Yasmin.

Dear Yasmin,
DeleteI agree with you. I sat the whole length of Hotaru no Hakama (the fireflies graveyard) once and after that I cannot go through it anymore. The movie seems so real, even though just graphic. I kept asking myself, why is it I cried buckets?
I am finishing my 3rd novel now. I plan to do translating work when this is done. There are so many beautiful pieces of writing in Japan. I want readers in Malaysia to know those works as I see the writing trend in Malaysia are mainly love theme and simple domestic issues. Well, I cannot say much about this, because those are themes that Malay readers prefer.
Actually, I've started on Totoro but I was thinking let me finished my book first. Insya-Allah, I will try harder with the translation later.
Thank you for your comment.
Love from Okinawa.
Let me answer the salam yasmin, waalaikumusalam.
DeleteSalam Kak lela...tahun lepas kami beli dvd cerita ini dan sehingga kini menjadi antara cerita kegemaran kami...sering ditonton oleh Ziya dalam kereta :) cerita yang amat menarik dan harus ditonton seisi keluarga kerana banyak pengajaran melalui cerita ini.
ReplyDeleteSalam kembali unsunghero sekeluarga,
DeleteRupanya famili unsunghero sudah tahu cerita ini, jadi bukanlah ia tidak terkenal langsung di Malaysia.
salam kak, kami mmg peminat setia gibli studio. cerita mula2 tengok totoro taun 2005, lepas tu mmg follow setiap movie dia dan tengok balik yg lama2. byk pengajaran, sedih pun ada. masa di msia dulu kami borong dvd ada 6 movies, mmg mahal tp dah minat pejam mata je beli. hehe.. dah ada kat jpun ni mmg tak lepaskan peluang beli buku hard cover(pun agak mahal) tapi anak2 suka baca. kami pun sempat melawat ghibli museum di mitaka. puas hati dapat tengok the real paper yg digunakan dan hasil kerja tangan Miyazaki.:D
ReplyDeleteMama Batrisya,
DeleteRasanya setiap tahun ramai yang menanti-nantikan karya atau movie anime dari studio gibli. Lagi pun buku kanak-kanak di Jepun sekarang semakin kuat dengan unsur imaginasi, bercampur aduk dengan cerita orang dewasa hinggakan bukan saja kanak-kanak yang minat bahkan orang dewasa pun sudah tertarik.
Tapi saya harap mereka tak karyakan lagi yang seakan-akan dengan Hotaru no Hakama. tak sanggup tengok.
