Can’t wait to see Juror 3.

Radish spirit is body goals.

The biggest compliment I can give this movie is that my 2 year old, who barely makes it a third of the way through any of the previous movies we've attempted, sat completely enthralled and hooked throughout this entire movie. And she has now spent the last hour or so pretending to be Mei.

And Miyazaki accomplishes this in Totoro without a villain, major conflict, fart jokes, fast cuts or any other cheap Hollywood trick meant to keep the youths entertained.

Masterpiece.

Man, what a great year for truly flawed characters on screen. Also Gyllenhaal managed to be someone who genuinely terrified me, more than many other more famous characters from horror movies. It's the American Dream taken to its logical conclusion. Great stuff.
