    Whisper of the Heart - A Slice of Life Experience - Slow Paced but AWESOME for that very reason!
  

*by A***F on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2010*

Ok first off if you are after a faced paced action packed white knuckles thrill ride viewing experience this is NOT your kind of movie.  For the most part this movie offers its viewers what is for the most part an amazingly accurate picture of what it is like to be a family in Japan.  The movie treats you as if you are a silent onlooker as this young ladies life unfolds before you.  There are few if any fast cuts and action sequences designed to fast forward you into a basic understanding of what motivates the characters.  Great time and effort was taken to allow the complexities of each character to unfold before you.  As the movie played on I actually had the sense that I was being allowed to get to know each character.  Another thing that makes this movie special is each character was crafted with amazing subtelty and attention to detail making feel real.  The attention to detail and slow pace of character development in Whisper of the Heart made me want to invest myself in loving each character for the unique perspectives, joys and pains and insights they brought to the overall work. This is not the movie for someone who needs an action sequence every 4 minutes to stay interested and connected to the movie.  This movie is for someone who enjoys people, love and the most awesome cultural aspects of Japan.I was impressed also with the quality of the animation.  The sheens on the wood surfaces as light shines on them in rooms was awesome.  The attention to detail in the look and feel of the fathers library workplace was astounding.  As the young lady decended the stairs I could almost the crisp air heavy with the unique smell books have when collected together.  The train stations and appropriate signage were also well detailed. True attention to detail during animation can be seen by looking out of the windows as the train goes from place to place.  The scenery changes, the support poles for the trains electric power lines pass by as expected.  It is not the same three to seven buildings passing by in cheap animation seen on the Flintstones and Jetsons for example.This is a love story between a adulescent young man and woman both on track to enter high school in Japan.  I will say nothing more about the plot because; I do not want to spoil it for others.  This is an awesome movie.  It is slow in pace but if you care about cultural details and want to get a sense of what life in Japan is like this is a great beginning on your journey toward understanding and human enlightenment.  There is One VERY unrealistic plot point in this movie I feel compelled to point out.  At one point the high school aged young lady flirts with the idea of not entering or completing high school.  Her grades drop off to a point that is totally worrisome and her parents eventually become very mellow and supportive of her plans.  Unfortunately most typical parents in Japan do not reach with passive love when their childs grades fall and they express a desire not to continue school.  In Japan the entire culture is geared to seek perfection in all things.  In Japan school, college and job life is a never ending competition and everyone and I mean everyone is taught from birth to take the important competitions in life seriously.  Few parents would behave as the young ladies parents did when her grades fell and she announced she would not be attending high school.  That said this movie is worth owning.  It is sweet light and wonderful and might leave a tear in your eye at its ending.PS hope you like the song Country Road's because you will be hearing it enough times during the DVD!

    An unforgetable, heartwarming, coming of age film from Studio Ghibli
  

*by T***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2005*

Whisper of the heart is one of the most sensitive, heartwarming and beautiful films ever made. Based on a shojo manga by Aoi Hiiragi, Written and produced by Hayao Miyazaki and directed by Yoshifumi Kondo, whisper of the heart is a tale of self discovery and coming of age of a high school girl Shizuku who is not sure what she wants in life. A series of dramatic events bring her closer to a guy Seiji from her own school. Together they embark on a journey which will help them find their inner potentials, realize their dreams and also love for each other. Also featured in the movie is an old man who runs an antique shop stocked with amazing treasures, including a magnificient porcelain figurine "the baron" (also featured in "The cat returns). Both of these characters play an important role in the film. Though "The cat returns" is kind of follow up to "whisper" yet for some reason it was released on dvd before "whisper".Rarely is a film as honest and realistic as whisper of the heart and that's what makes it amazingly special, charming and successful. Within its thin plot and realistic settings, whisper has its magic moments which are downright uplifting and strike a chord somewhere deep inside. The film itself is a breath of fresh air.Whisper of the heart, though slow in pace, draws you in from the very beginning and refuses to let you go. Its a heartwarming tale which makes you feel nostalgic and helps you relive the adolescence. Except for the Shizuku's dreamy fantasy sequence, the film relies heavily on dialogues and simple and real situations. The locales and the backgrounds shown in the film are as beautiful and breathtaking as in any other ghibli film. Open spaces, beautiful countryside, deep blue sky with summer clouds, a bicycle ride atop the hill, there are numerous things and moments in the film that set the mood just right, leaving the viewer spellbound and satisfied. After a while you forget completely that you are watching an animated film. Music plays an important role in the film and is soft and relaxing though we do get lots of those silent moments too for which ghibli films are famous. Also featured in the film is John Denver's song "country roads" which makes the perfect backdrop for the film. Not to mention here, the royalty disputes which arised later, making it difficult for the movie to see an American release.Be it character development, animation or background art of the film, attention to details is simply stunning.The incredibly detailed backgrounds of the fantasy sequences were done by Naohisa Inoue who was an established artist and a long time Miyazaki fan. Impressed by his fantasy work, Miyazaki himself invited him to work on the film. Whisper of the heart dvd released by Buena Vista in Japan includes a special documentary showcasing the dreamy artwork of the film.Director Yoshifumi Kondo had worked on many ghibli films such as Kiki's delivery service, Grave of the fireflies and Pom poko etc, as an animator. Hayao Miyazaki, who was looking for new breed of directors for ghibli, recognised Kondo's talent in no time and gave him a chance to direct this movie. Unfortunately, whisper of the heart remains to be the first and the only film directed by Yoshifumi Kondo. Just after the release of whisper, Kondo succumbed to aneurysm. It is evident from whisper of the heart how immensely talented and sensitive director Kondo was.Films like whisper of the heart are very rare and come once in a lifetime. Watching a film like this is an experience to behold and cherish forever.  ----Blu-ray RELEASE UPDATE----Whisper of the Heart finally makes it to North America on the stellar format. The film is reported to have received a shiny new digital 1080P remaster for this Blu-ray release which will also feature English 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, French 2.0 Dolby Digital Language Track, Japanese 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio Original Production, English and French Subtitles. Bonus features on this release will include:4 Masterpieces of Naohisa Inoue - Watch the evolution of four different scenes by master artist Naohisa InoueOriginal Japanese StoryboardsBehind the Microphone--With voice talent from the filmOriginal Japanese Trailers and TV Commercials

    Studio Ghibli's best
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 4, 2016*

There's little I can say that not already been said.  I looked at some of the negative reviews and despaired at some of the comments.  If you put forward a comment along the lines that "it's boring" with nothing to add, then you will only attract equally boring and negative comments in return.  This is a film that encourages you to think about relationships and captures a moment of "Magic" when two young people realise that they are spiritually connected and subsequently commit to each other at an early age.  The story is told in such a supple way that, before you realise it, you are completely hooked and care deeply about the characters (something that only the best films will achieve).My litmus test for any animation is, whether or not I forget that the film is actually an animation because I get caught up in the story so much.  In this case I forgot within 5 minutes.
