Reviews
Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Rectangular_businessman A truly beautiful music video done by one the great Japanese animator, Hayao Miyazaki (Director of wonderful films such as "Princess Mononoke", "Porco Rosso" and "Spirited Away") which, in just a very few minutes is able to contain all the magic and captivating elements of his feature films.Not only is the quality of the animation incredible (With a high level of detail, fluid movements, magnificent backgrounds and also very nice and expressive designs) but also the story, without any word, is able to communicate many subtle feelings that vary from sadness and tension to happiness.The ending is particularly moving and heartwarming. A must-see.
neenahhh 6 1/2 minutes. That's a record for Miyazaki. But despite its length and the fact that not one word was spoken during its entire duration, this short music film still managed to show the magic that's seen in all of Hayao Miyazaki's feature-length films.This short film is accompanied by a song of Chage and Aska's. When I think of a film about two policemen teaming up to help give freedom to a girl with wings, my choice of music would have been very different from what was given. But it worked! The music went great with Miyazaki's animation and the storyline itself.Boy, if this was turned into a real feature-length film, how great would that be? Lots of questions would be answered and we'd have a better background on our characters and the story itself. But I guess the beauty of this film comes from the fact that it still managed to deliver a whole set of emotions even if it was just under 7 minutes.Some may find that their understanding of the film changes after a succeeding viewing, and I think they're right. This film definitely deserves more than one viewing, as to better understand the concept of the film.Viewed on: May 4, 2011
silentcheesedude So how could a short, 7 minute anime action/music video get so much attention and high score? Hayao Miyazaki is the answer. Two futuristic/alternate reality policemen become involved with an unusual prisoner, a girl with wings. Realizing that she must be set free, they set a course of events to free her. No words are spoken by the characters. And no need to sit for 2 hours worth as to why the girl has wings, or why the police decided to do what they do. It would make a great movie, I'm sure, but it's to the point subtlety is what make this interesting, what it's meant to be. The music that plays isn't bad. And Miyazaki leaves his usual trademark with someone flying.It isn't the most perfect short I've ever seen, but I'm glad I watched. If your a fan of Miyazaki, anime, or anything animated and out of the ordinary, hunt for this.
csi_yellowknife This is a film my anime guru Miyazaki. That'll take care of the first 1,000,000 people who scramble around looking for it. The for rest, read on:The music is nothing special, but that may just be my personal tastes. Then again, the video more than makes up for it. The somewhat confusing video plot deals with two policemen who free a strange angel-like girl. The short video contains three of Miyazaki's traits: The sweet-looking but strong girl (but never in a lewd, creepy way that so many try), scenes of flying, and that mixture of strange but beautiful animation and storyline.There's a lot to catch in this little flick, and it'd be too much of a spoiler to give it all away. Even more, it's probably not a movie that you'd expect to make a lot of sense. That's okay, just sit back and enjoy the ride.
