miyasaki he has spoken, and he has dazzled at the Venice festival at the end of last year. Coming now with the premiere of such a dazzling work, called «Gake no ue no Ponyo ", or rather" Ponyo on the cliff above the sea«.
An animated film based mainly on the watercolors that Miyasaki himself made during the pre-production of the film. Having been based, they say, on his own son for the main character.
The story has the deep humanity that oriental movies often possess. And it is that a 5-year-old boy, Sosuke, finds a red fish on a jetty full of garbage, which he rescues and baptizes with the name of Ponyo. From there an immense friendship is generated between the two beings, to the point of wanting, Ponyo himself, to become human.
In some way, the metaphor of the film could be understood as a development on the relationships between human beings and nature, and even between children and adults, in their relationship with each other and with the world.
The script was written by the same director, Hayao Miyasaki, for the Ghibli studios. And, although it reminds me a bit of the childish tone with which, for example, «El viaje de Chihiro»Was raised, it is probable that this film has the same poetry as that one, since Miyasaki is a virtuoso in his field. The trailer is in an unintelligible language, but at least we have the images to see.
