Idle Scenes in Whisper of the Heart

Time Out’s 50 greatest animated films:

Whisper of the Heart (1995)

Directed by Yoshifumi Kondo

You could sit through ‘Whisper of the Heart’, one of Studio Ghibli’s lesser-known masterworks, and ponder: did this really need to be an animated movie? Eschewing the expressionist flights of fancy most associated with the medium, Kondo’s film is more of a muted family drama that takes place in a very basic and very real Japanese neighbourhood while adopting as its focus the growing pains of sprightly teenage heroine, Shizuku. It traces her persistent attempts to become an author, mainly of pop song lyrics, but takes a sweetly-realised romantic detour when she develops a crush on a fellow student who yearns to be a violin maker in Italy. A lavish dream sequence involving a statue of a Germanic cat in tails and a top hat is the only time we depart from reality, but here is a film that uses the gifts of the animated form to magnify the tiny magical minutiae of everyday life. Things like an ornamental grandfather clock that tells a story when it chimes, or a cat that jumps on a train and leads Shizuku to an antique shop… The realist backdrop in turn makes these small moments feel all the more pertinent, especially as the film works hard to convey the uplifting notion that inspiration can take many weird and wonderful forms – it’s just waiting for you to find it. How else could an ad-hoc chamber music rendition of John Denver’s ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’ bring a big, salty tear to your eye? A beautiful film. (x)

What’s happening right now in Mexico City? May 4th

So, on the night of May 3, a subway fell on top of a highway in Mexico. This was not a terrorist attack, I want to make this very clear since misinformation is being spread online by supporters of our current president. People in the neighborhood had been complaining about the horrible conditions of the infrastructure FOR YEARS. As per usual, our government did nothing. Once again, the Mexican government is complicit in causing the death of several working class people. The imaged being shown on the news are all of working class people still wearing their uniforms, carrying their bags ad they were on their way home after work

As of right now, reports say there are over 70 injured people and 15 deaths. It’s about 1 am at the moment, and several people are still trapped under the rubble and inside the train cars. 

What can you do?

I am very well aware of the fact that this is an American centric website, but it is still useful to spread this information in case people have relatives living in Mexico City, as well as to combat the misinformation being spread by the supporters of our current government. 

Below, you will be able to find the phone numbers of the hospitals that are receiving the victims of this preventable accident. 

And please do not believe everything you read! MORENA, our current ruling political party has blood on their hands and ever since AMLO became president, they’ve done nothing but harm our country while they fill their pockets.
