Studio Ghibli - Totoro

My first discovery of Studio Ghibli through Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle. Those are Papa’s favorite, not mine maybe because of too much fantasy element I can handle hehe.

Later I found So Yesterday and found myself in love with it instantly, that movie makes me crave more from Ghibli. I remember watch it for the first time and enjoy every scene/shot of it. The drawing, characters, script, music, sounds and everything feel so right and real. For me it’s not just a movie, it is the movie like my own life story that I can relate to.

Somehow So Yesterday led me to My Neighbor Totoro the master of masterpiece. :) Maharaja segala maharaja lebih kurang macam tue lah definisi dia. Totoro will make you watch from the very beginning of intro sampai habis. You will be introduce to Mei for the first time and with background music “Hey let’s go! Hey let’s go!... as happy as can be.. lalala” I know it doesn’t make much sense now hahaha but when you watch the movie, both soundtrack and the movie are very correlated and they compliment each other (terlebih sudahhh).

Lepas tengok untuk pertama kali then I bring it home for my sisters to watch and of course I watch with them once again. After that we pass it to Papa after he showed so much interest by walking behind us countlessly while we were watching it. Then the nightmare begins. He starts to watch it and we watch with him (third time and counting). When finish semua orang masuk tido, we knew he likes the movie. How? you may ask.

Before sleep we talks bout the movie and we can hear “Hey let’s go! Hey let’s go!”. He plays it again. We smile and humming along until we fall asleep. Around 3am terkejut nak bangun pegi toilet sekali lagi dengar lagu yang sama. Dalam hati “so cute.. papa must have love Satsuki and Mei so much” try jenguk kat hall he still awake ingatkan dah tertido.

Terjaga next morning around 8am dikejutkan oleh “Hey let’s go! Hey let’s go!”. Kiteorang gerakkan masing2 and tergelak2 dalam bilik cause of his obsession. Then kiteorang tertido balik. Senyap. He went out untuk beli breakfast :D nyum.. nyum
Around 10am as usual he brings back breakfast and turn on TV. Sekali lagi “Hey let’s go! Hey let’s go!”. Mase tue Mei is not cute anymore I really want to strangle her. “Ya Allah! biar betul…” masing2 terus keluar dari bilik pegi kat hall dengan hati yang panas. With innocence face papa cakap “haa tue ada roti kembung dengan roti canai panas lagi”. Then kiteorang pun. “Ok…”. Nothing can beat roti kembung panas2. hahaha

Nantilah aku sambung lagik pasal citer nih. Untuk entry kali ni, ini jer yang terlarat.
