My Neighbor Totoro

JoAnna Carraway Professor Childs English 1301 26 Feb. 2013 My populate Totoro Movie Review My live Totoro is a Japanese base childrens film animated in the 1980s written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. This movie was diametric from American films. There is no scrap or bickering among the characters. The movie is establish on two sisters and their sustain who moved to a new township to be closer to their mom who is airsick and in a hospital nearby. The girls father hires the neighbor as new setting hen whom they buzz off never met before.In this film the Japanese culture is very different from American society straightaway, but very inspiring and prolong sexable for its young person viewers. The two sisters Satsuki who is the oldest and mei being the youngest were very excited a rent contemptible to their new home and closer to their mom. When they arrived to their new home the girls ran all through and through and around the house. Their dad introduces them to the ne ighbor, who was an old lady who was keeping the house up while it was empty. The neighbor told the girls to presage her Granny. The girls father also told them that she would be the new sitter while he went to work.Her being the girls sitter was strange to me because in this culture we live in today us as parents we do not leave our children with strangers we know nought about, so that didnt set too well with me. He should have let the girls get comfortable, and get to know her first. The old lady seemed to enjoy the girls and the girls enjoyed her too. Granny had a grandson, who the girls passed along the way to find their new house. When the girls asked if he knew how to get to their new house, he told them it was haunted, but granny put a stop to the rumors.The father, who was a professor at the local college in town, was always busy and a bit inattentive to mei. Satsuki who is only nine and attends take aim had to grow up very quickly by servinging with her bed clothing si ster combing her hair and cooking for her while her mother is ill in the hospital. Both girlss had a very spectacular imagination. Mei wondered off into the woods one day while playing orthogonal alone. Mei found a tree that had a path inner(a) of its trunk, thats when she found a spirit named Totoro. When she told her father and sister bout Totoro they didnt believe her. Totoro was there to be with Mei when she didnt have anyone else. Satsuki and Mei were looking forward to spending time with their mother on the weekend. Its been awhile, so they were very excited about spending time with her. Thats when an urgent telegram was sent from the hospital concerning their mother. The girls panicked and were terror-stricken something was wrong with their mother. They rushed off to use a phone to call their dad, but Mei got lost trying to keep up.Once Satsuki noticed Mei was missing she had the whole neighborhood was looking for her. Thats when she turned to Totoro for religious servi ce to find Mei. Totoro got a cat bus that could fly up in the sky and look over the town to find Mei. They found her on a dark road crying she was trying to get to the hospital to make sure her mother was ok. The cat bus was a big cat, with eyes as headlights, paws as wings and its body open up inside filled with soft cat hair as seats. This is what make the movie different imaginary flying cat bus and friends.Its good to see that the girls imaginary friends were able to help find Mei and take them to the hospital to see if their mother is ok. In American movies you dont see much of siblings like Satsuki and Mei. They were acquire along, playing without fussing and fighting with each other. The two sisters were very loving and flesh towards one another. This movie is a great movie for children to watch to divulge and see how to get along and enjoy childhood even when things pass off up and the older sibling has to step up the take concern of their younger siblings. My Neighbor Totoro is a good non-violent movie for kids to watch. My Neighbor Totoro is ground on experience, situation and explorationnot on conflict and affright (Ebert, R). When looking for films for children you should look for films similar to My Neighbor Totoro for your children. A film with abandon tends to put children on the wrong path at times. So we need them to see and learn its not all about fighting bickering amongst each other, but how to love, and help one another when situations line up up. Work CitedEbert, R.
