[QUOTE="LeafByNiggle, post: 76773599, member: 436315"] Some movies are plot-driven and some are character-driven. Porco Rosso is more character-driven, I think. So if you are primarily looking for an intriguing plot, I can see why Porco Rosso might not be very appealing. I think Kiki's Delivery Service is an example of both an intriguing plot and interesting characters. Well, one interesting character anyway - Kiki herself. Not too much has been said of Kiki because the OP mentioned he had already seen it. But I want to add that Kiki is an excellent character study and insight into the psychological and emotional effects of tuning something you love into a job that is not always successful. The depression she suffers causes her to lose her ability to fly, which was something she used to do for fun. The realities of entering the workplace can be devastating to someone who has unrealistic expectations. The movie offers good advice on connecting with our inner motivations to regain confidence. In the sound design I like the use of total silence in the scene where Kiki has to start flying again to save Tombo. The sounds of crowd, the emergency vehicles, the music, all cuts out. That total absence of sound did a great job at focusing our attention on the strength of the moment. Here is a relevant analysis of Kiki's Delivery Service I saw a while ago: [MEDIA=youtube]vv9mL0YjUiE[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
