Customer Reviews of Millennium Actress (Full Sub Dol)

Highly Recommended
Devotion, unrequited love, and a search that continues through eternity. A theme of construction, destruction, history, progress, youth, old age, foolishness, wisdom, working, retirement, life, and naturally, death. All of this, plus more is 'Millenium Actress'. What we hold on to, that which we let go, as well as what we regard with deep affection, and that we see as trivial also take part. Flying forward with confidence or stumbling in desperation, this path one travels in life, the course one stays, which is of greater import? Is it the journey or the destination? In the space of a few minutes of film, these ideas are presented, played out and rewound both literally and figuratively. Each and every scene, the setting they're within, helps build and supports the creative ideas of the director Satoshi Kon and his team. This story spreads across a thousand years of time and space. From a mere chance encounter, see how ones' fate may twist and turn with another. It's packed with beautiful backgrounds, a great soundtrack, distinct moments in history (complete with just enough period detail), characters aging, growing, and many years of movie making are all condensed into one remarkable effort. In summary, it's a snapshot. A picture of an ideal, of a promise made. There's much to enjoy, it's an 'easy' movie, yet its characters have depth and substance. It also has more than its share of lighter moments. Satoshi Kon's other works available in the US include: Perfect Blue, Paranoia Agent, and Tokyo Godfathers. He's also one of the five artists that did the layouts for the 2nd Patlabor movie (another incredible animated film). His latest, 'Paprika' should be here on dvd later this year. I hope.

Good intro to anime
If you are an anime fan, you will enjoy this movie, but may find it unremarkable. If you have never seen anime, or you have not found anime that you liked, this would be an excellent point of entry into the finer side. <

>Creative and often downright stunning in its imagery, the movie opts to take a meta-meta-meta-drama approach. Okay, I just put in an arbitrary number of "metas" but the point is that the plots of different movies are constantly being woven and blended into the flashback sequence that covers the main story. You'll realize that, yes, it's partly surreal, but at the same time it is not too difficult to pick up on "what really happened." <

>What it all comes down to is that it's hard to say why, but this is one of those profoundly Japanese animated films that really plays to the strengths of the medium while avoiding all the pitfalls that can turn off Westerners.

All the lives of Chiyoko-san
This is a very touching movie and an elaborate journey through time. We don't really get to see Chiyoko's inner character that much, but we still end up liking her. The ending is sad, but fits perfectly with the rest of the story. The only problem is that anime newbies might have a problem with the complicated story. But one good thing about anime is that some of it makes you really think. This is one of those anime. I usually rate Hayao Miyazaki's movies high on my favorites list, but this is up there too with the rest of them. Highly recommended!
