There are some things in life that cannot be understood, Some feelings that cannot be explained, Some beauties that cannot be praised enough and Some memories that cannot be revived. Perhaps that is why life is so mysterious, like an unsolved problem, a puzzle that doesn't have an end. Some things in life are so unbearable that we want to give up, but sometimes life gives us a light so bright, a rope so strong to hold on to, just enough to prevent us from letting go. And with this light we travel a thousand miles, through thorn covered branches, heavy dusted leaves, through the dark tunnels of evil with a candle in hand, a candle given to us. With this candle, we can see through dark ends, protect us from deep desires and save us from dark deeds, and just as the candle seems to be fading, life gives us another one. And with this, we travel another thousand miles.

A few days ago, I watched two of Hayao Miyazaki's most praised pieces Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away. I usually don't like anime movies, I have a sort of prejudice thought "I mean, how much will they be able to express through drawings?" However my deep prejudice shattered for you cannot see these movie without a tissue box at your side. A real quick preview is that, In both films, the characters fall into deep trouble from where it seems there will be no way out. However, with the power of friendship, love and trust, they survive through it and receive long lasting memories of such childhood. If after you watch this movie, you feel a sort of power tugging on your heart, if you feel a pang of tightness around your chest and a small smile forming at the side of your face you know that your spirit is still alive! The desires of your childhood, the memories of your youth, the dreams of the other world still exists in you.

I don't know how to explain this...but you have to watch the movie and feel for yourself. The existence of the outer world, the world beyond the stars! Don't say you don't have time, for you always have time for another Miyazaki Hayao film, Always. Just don't fall in too deep, like me, you won't know how to come back!

 Glad to hear I'm not alone!
