365 Films Challenge. 115 - The Borrowers (1997)

“A Borrower is quiet, conscientious, and inconspicuous. We don’t steal; we borrow.”

The Secret World of Arrietty

“The Borrowers” is a wonderful fantasy novel about tiny people living in an old British country home. Studio Ghibli is the studio that gave the world “My Neighbor Totoro,” “Howl’s Moving Castle,” “Ponyo,” and the academy-award winning film “Spirited Away” (as well as other beautifully animated movies). As Studio Ghibli’s take on “The Borrowers,” “Arriettey” is the studio’s most recent American-dubbed, Disney-released film. I’ve seen the original Japanese version and it is just as wonderful as their earlier movies. It’s slow-moving and sweet, with just enough humor and adventure to charm elementary school kids. For older, anime-loving teens, “Arrietty” again showcases writer Hayao Miyazaki’s profound sympathy with strong female protagonists. Suspenseful set pieces and impeccable animation round out this highly recommended film. Unfortunately this film contains only the Japanese and American-English audio tracks. This is the first Studio Ghibli film to have a separate British-English soundtrack, which perhaps stays closer to the spirit of the novel.

Demi: I think I was out of tears at the point {Selena} called me and she was crying, she was like ‘Hello.” I’m like, ‘Why are you crying? I’m the one in treatment - like I should be crying’ She’s like “Are they treating you ok?” I was like “Yeah they’re treating me great” She’s defiantly one of my closest friends and no matter what, we’ll always be close as sister’s. We met 12 years ago, that’s more than half of my life.

Puppy: WHAT IS THIS!?

Holding hands may seem like an innocent gesture, but they show more than a simple interlocking of fingers. Your hands are one of the most essential parts of your body: you build with them, feed with them, hold with them, touch with them, fight with them; they are the tools of the human body. To take a hold of another’s hand is to break from living individually. It is to link yourself to another being, to momentarily entwine your life with another’s, to promise, for a moment, that you need not face the world alone. More simple, more aesthetically naive than other forms of affection, i.e kissing, hugging, sexing.., the act of holding hands is often trivialized in its true implications.
