Thanks for the review kid, I will take my kids to see it when it comes out by house in Minnesota on Friday. Oh, Happy belated birthday! In Korea, they really only celebrate the first birthday and the 70th. Hope it's not that way in Japan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17597426.post-23886083152898236772009-08-01T18:33:24.386-07:002009-08-01T18:33:24.386-07:00You said it correctly, the last quarter of the mov...You said it correctly, the last quarter of the movie was very dissapointing.<br />Motivations were very unclear and the ending wasn't satisfying either.<br /><br />It ended they way it did because "they" wanted it that way. NOT because the story or characters made it believable or a work towards a natural conclusion.<br /><br />I like most of Miyazaki's works but this one seemed to be made almost on autopilot without questioning the story themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17597426.post-91775995284002875232008-08-25T04:30:00.000-07:002008-08-25T04:30:00.000-07:00Ponyo!!!

Glad you gave yourself a birthday present and wrote about it in a way that would make NYT movie reviewers green with prose-envy.<BR/><BR/>How's the homeland?
