えいが：トトロ (Totoro)

 みなさん、こんにちは！

This weekend, I watched the Japanese movie My Neighbor Totoro. It is about two sisters, Satsuke and Mei, who move to an old house in the Japanese countryside with their dad. Their mom is in the hospital, and they spend a lot of time out in nature, where they meet spirits that befriend them. One of these characters is a giant fluffy one named Totoro, who they meet while waiting for their dad at the bus. The movie highlights the importance of friendship and being an open-minded, innocent child. 

I watched the film in Japanese with English subtitles, which allowed me to understand the plot but also recognize Japanese words while listening. I throughly enjoyed this movie and it brought back many good memories, namely when I watched it as a middle schooler in Japanese class. I would highly recommend this film to anyone who likes Japanese movies and sweet storylines. Bye for now! じゃあね！
