My Thoughts on Totoro

When I was growing up, my grandmother, who is from Japan, always liked showing me different Japanese films. She showed me many different ones, but my favorite was always My Neighbor Totoro. It is an incredibly entertaining film and we watched it many many times. I went back and rewatched some of it with subtitles, and it was felt like a return to childhood for me. I hadn't watched the film in a long time, but I really enjoyed it and also felt more of an appreciation for the lessons it teaches about being kind to your family and the importance of nature. I have learned through my exploration of Japanese culture that nature is incredibly important in Japan, and I think that is very cool. Overall, I really enjoyed rewatching the film and felt that it was not only entertaining, but also communicated a very cool message.

    Hmm... I didn't know that nature was such an important part of Japanese Culture. This explains why it's a leader of sustainability in the world. I must watch it.
