Films Watched in 2014 #001 From Up on Poppy Hill (2011)“You cannot move into the future without first knowing the past.“As with all Ghibli films, the characters are allowed to breathe simply on the screen, with beautiful clean atmosphere and gorgeous backgrounds.However, I get the feeling that director Goyo Miyazaki stuck too closely to the book this story was based off of, which lent to less visual storytelling and an unfortunately dull pair of leads. I would have liked to see more of the various geeky school clubs and their interactions than this couple. But their sincerity as they confront each other is enough to carry you through the film. -- source link
