Description:
Legendary animators Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata team up to create this nostalgic animated work, based on a manga by Yuko Tone and Kei Okamoto. Although lacking in the fast action that many have come to expect from Anime this film has great visual intensity and highly entertaining moments, as we laugh at the follies of childhood.
The title of this film uses the onomatopoetic term "poro poro", evoking the sound of large drops of liquid splashing to the ground, meaning something like "memories falling like raindrops". These memories falling into the story tell us the story of Taeko, a young girl growing up in suburban Japan. The impetuous for this flood of memories is a vacation from the bustle of modern Tokyo to a farm in northern Japan. As she participates in the harvest, Taeko becomes aware of her place in history and a connection to the past that she has not felt before. The floodgate of memories to her childhood is opened and Taeko learnes to love the simple life of her new friends, as she rediscovers herself.
Omoide Poro Poro is replete with universal themes such as the need to feel loved and accepted, the need to find value in life, and the insecurities of youth. Omoide Poro Poro also reveals urban alienation and yearning for a more traditional life more connected to Earth and family. Most importantly however, this truly beautiful film offers the viewer precious insight into the unique heart of modern Japan.
