I wanna see this one so bad! I can't wait until it comes out to the US
whee Mimi wo Sumaseba (
Whisper of the Heart) centers on Shizuku Tsukushima, a 14 year old growing up in the suburbs of modern Toyko. She is bookworm who wants to write when she grows up. Over her summer break she discovers that all the library books she has been reading have been checked out before her by someone named Seiji AMASAWA. Through a series of semi-magical accidents, she meets Seiji and finds out he is another student at her junior high. He wants to be a violin maker and is going to try for an apprenticeship in Italy. Struck by the example of someone working so hard to fullfil his dream, Shizuku sets herself a challenge to write a real story. This will prove to herself and the rest that she can achieve her dreams of being a writer. We only see a little bit of the story she writes, while the movie focuses on the typical adolescent struggles to prove that one has some talent or ability that make one a worthwhile or lovable person.
I enjoyed the movie, not quite as adventurous as some of their other films, but still had a heartwarming message.
