When I lived in Japan, I noticed that people had a certain stoicism about natural disasters - the next "big one" is always coming sooner or later. So the balance in Miyazaki's films is particularly beautiful to me.<br /><br />Thank you for your prayers for Japan.Rebecca Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00646664373171892130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961445666519156260.post-32679933835742364492011-03-13T17:17:21.840-05:002011-03-13T17:17:21.840-05:00Very insightful.

I believe I read fantasy for just this reason--it helps us believe we can fight back against extraordinary foes. We may be battered, but we can go on.Tricia J.
