Castle in the Sky

Is there any secret in this world? Hidden in a place no one knows, spends this life of loneliness silently. Our loneliness is like a city floating in the sky, like a secret, but it cannot be told. We were crowded, breathing, and looking at the sky. How many unknown secrets are there in this world as lonely as we are?

Please let me meet that secret, just like one kind of loneliness embracing another kind of loneliness, understanding and being understood at the moment of physical contact. The city of the sky floating among the flowing clouds, you are like me, crowded, but no one knows.

Perhaps everyone looked up at the moment, saw the shadow of the Sky City in their eyes, bowed their heads, but could never find their home. Tears are no longer suitable for this world, what else can be surprised? Anything is possible. We stop indifferently in the excess of possibilities.

The green grass becomes familiar in an instant, it is no longer a landscape in my eyes, it is my habitat. The nets that you and I wove suddenly cracked, causing me to slip between the sky and the earth, getting close to the birds and talking to the flowers. Me, the flowers, the birds, and the city in the sky are all secrets in the world, but it's a pity that we don't listen to each other.

Who can die among the flowing clouds and see the door of time and space open, fleeing from the reincarnation. Who can disappear in the sky, but never fall. When it is sunny, I am willing to look up to see if my Sky City is flying by. Thanks, Hayao Miyazaki.

    Recalling the classic, simple and straightforward anime, Hayao Miyazaki had no special effects of computers and no high-tech equipment in that era, which may have been the initial impression!

    This is definitely the most perfect collaboration between Joe Hisaishi and Hayao Miyazaki
