The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014 movie)
i just finished watching The Grand Budapest Hotel in a lovely morning. of course it's well filmed. i fancy these kind of film. Gives a bit of nostalgic, a bit of literature, a bit of culture, a bit of suspense, a bit of horror and a bit of everything else. Gustav really is the man for the job. sadly he was killed in the end. He acts as the kind of man that brings joy pleasure to others that people longed for. The Grand Budapest Hotel was a kind of story for those who seek some English accent, English culture more of the European style . Boy with Apple is a very good painting if you ask me .Gustav was very upset when his lobby boy forgotten to bring the perfume L'Air de Panache. It brings me curiosity to try out this perfume myself. my personnel opinion about this film was that this film is very good. Loved the characters. Loved the scenes. Loved the story although it's very fast paced. Loved Agatha because she is innocent and pure. The prison break scene was okay because it's short and progresses the story. The poetry in the film is goob stuff and should be polished more to stand out more to be a masterpiece.

The Lunch box (2013 movie)
well today is a happy day indeed. It was like reading my favourite novel on a holiday morning with good sunny weather. except that it's raining outside now but it is definitely fine. I never happen to finish an Indian film except for 3 idiots . Never knew any of the names either. But this is different. This is a film that i long waited , a truly meaningful film that quenched my thirst for good movies. I never really fancy the AAA movie titles with huge action stunts. I can watch those AAA titles but it will not end my hunger for my mental vitamins.
first of all, it have the spice, the recipes that get me excited. The lunchbox delivery system in the movie amazed me because i had never heard of it at all. It has awakened me from my slumbered brain and get me excited. It seems that this kind of system really existed until now. i am very confused and amazed at the same time that indians make soo much trouble for their food. This is certainly a very amazing culture to observe.
In this movie, the characters is well picked and the plots are very good. the kitchen of Ila brings the nostalgic feel of a classic kitchen that should have been done with any kitchen. Ila's neighbour upstairs gives the film a little something , a link to be precise that makes the story more interesting. This whole movie is nostalgic to the core. It kept on mentioning and comparing the old times and now. the train station, the cemetery, the old town and the bathroom. It reminds me to check in the bathroom and notice myself if i really did grow old and have the old guy odour syndrome.
this film brings out the ultimate question . What is the meaning of life. It differs per person. Some people is not smart enough to think of it and lived their entire life without thinking what is the meaning of their lives and tried to manipulate other people's life to satisfy their own desire (for showing that they existed in this world) they don't their meaning of life. they don't have passion. so they have to do repetitive things everyday until the rest of their lives.
but anyways, Ila did runaway with Saajan to Nasik. I sure hope i can see this scene because the director did not film this scene to make this film a never ending story and leave people to their imaginations....
Hanamonogatari 花物语 (anime2014)
well, after watching this i remembered that i am a big fan of literature. Hanamonogatari was like a fiction book well written. it's kind of mind blowing with nice graphics and critical long winded dialogues (which is nice from my point of view) as always we expected from the monogatari series. Well Kaiki returns make me very happy to see him because he is a very strong enemy to defeat with lots of critical long winded dialogues. two girls play basket ball and have some issues so they become rivals. 1 on 1 . when the game ends only one player can leave the court. kind of cool. very short only takes me 1 hour 45 minutes to finish it.

The Cat Returns 猫的报恩 (2002 movie)
A interesting animation. Only japan can do a cat animation movie. their love for cats is amazingly high. story wise is a bit not so interesting because we have high expectations for studio Ghibli for their monsters of fantasy. So far i see only cats fighting cats.... and cute cats with personality. i think they are striking for female audience maybe. But the return of the antique cat form whisper of the heart is okay i guess. at least we see the antique cat figure moving around fighting as a hero.

Whisper of the heart 侧耳倾听(1995 movie)
Novel writer violin maker love story. this is the kind of movie that you might want to watch it again and again. maybe not in nearby future but maybe after 10 years pass by this movie never gets old and still passes the nostalgic feeling of youth , love and passion. Good job Studio Ghibli and nice song country road. This story reminds that the youth need to try very hard to pursue their dreams while they are young and able. to decide their future cross roads while they are young or maybe couple up while young is helpful too.

Ocean waves 海がきこえる (1993 movie)
well done studio Ghibli. A mature shonen love story with delicate touches to the heart. If everyone have this kind of chance would be good. If everyone was brave enough to have this kind of encounter. to fly to a faraway place with a friend and have everlasting memories ,have a fight or quarrel. I am too waiting for such romantic encounter with delicate touch with someone. the scene where she waits him at the JR Japan railway station determines that she likes him and was faithed to love him always. Love is strange
and irresistible. it occurs while we well know and while we not knowing it.

porco rosso 飛天紅豬俠 (1992 movie)
hmm... Miyazaki really do love planes. single pilot war fighting planes. i guess this is a very successful movie at that time. very beautifully made. bleed my eyes by he water color animation in 720p. the pig main character really is a big issue. almost made me gave up on watching this movie. it's unacceptable at 1st but as the movie ends i found out that i love that pig already. a smoking pig. women love smoking ping don't they... i just hope the main character can turn back to human but nothing happens...left me hanging in the air bu the end sign.
魔女宅急便 kiki's delivery service (1989 movie)
just finished this movie. seems very loveable. one thing for sure they do not explain the fact that why kiki suddenly lost her flying powers as a witch. maybe she could call her mom and ask for the reason but she did not do that. the conclusion is that maybe this is her purpose of training :to become a witch or not to become a witch. if she just let it go maybe she will loose all her powers. who knows? studio ghibli really do love to make flying movies..
