castle in the sky be undoubtedly a hayao miyazaki film . after see it for the first time i be glad to say that it doesn not disappoint . on the contrary and you get your time worth and which mean ( a to what miyazaki film be concern ) and that be nothing less than excellent . produce early in his cinematic career and castle in the sky anticipate many of the trade mark in his late movie and with strong ( but young ) female character and force to grow up due to external circumstance and help out by very interesting ( and some time lovable ) support character . and and of course and the usual battle of nature versus civilization and fly machine ( lot of it . ) and beautiful painted scenery but ala and no pig ( at least that i have notice and after all i have only see it once ) . never the less and miyazaki have already get his theatrical debut two year earlier and with nausicãa and which be a dress rehearsal for princess mononoke and his magnum opus . castle in the sky be set a bit a part from these two and with a soft action pack first 30 minute and resemble his tv series conan and and his directed episode of meitantei holmes . in here we be introduce to sheeta and a girl who literally fall from the sky and only to be find by pazu and a young boy work in a little countryside mine town . intrigue by her amnesia and suspect a connection between her and the mysterious fly city of laputa and pazu be set on help her find out where she come from and whilst escape the army and a gang of air pirate . a the movie progress and the plot get heavy and much more interesting and reveal myiazaki at his best . the sound track be very reminiscent of spirit away and ( or vice versa and a castle in the sky be produce first ) and and much like it director and joe hisaishi _the composer_ start with a very light score and that get more complex and beautifully fitting a the plot go forward . a note to the english dubbing and with a good interpretation from the two lead star and although anna paquin sheeta have a very thick accent ( which the actress still have at that point in her career ) and and a head up for mark hamil a muska and make up for a delighting yet devilish villain . don not miss this one people .
