ROAD HOUSE

MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO (1988)Here is a childrens film made for the world we should live in,rather than the one we occupy. A film with no villains. No fightscenes. No evil adults. No fighting between the two kids. Noscary monsters. No darkness before the dawn. A world that isbenign. A world where if you meet a strange towering creaturein the forest, you curl up on its tummy and have a nap.

PRINCESS MONONOKE (1997)Full of myth, magic, creation, and destruction this stands asone of director Hayao Miyazakis crowning achievements. Teepic struggle of nature against human industry is shown herethrough the eyes of a young man caught up in the middle. Tegods of the forest are just tr ying to protect their home. Tehumans invading the woods are just looking for a little break.

SPIRITED AWAY (2001)Ostensibly, this is the story of a girls voyage into the spirit

world to rescue her parents, who, in typical idiotic adultfashion, drive on a road where they shouldnt drive, eat foodthey shouldnt eat and end up getting turned into pigs. But thispremise is, as usual, mainly an excuse for Miyazakis imaginationand id to free-associate, channeling and repurposing elements ofEastern and Western mythology,
