Sita, the leading role girl of Laputa, is probably the ideal girl for Japanese people. She is strong, modest, and pretty, also she cares people and nature.

She is expressed as a pretty girl firstly, but in the end, she has both pretty character and decisive minded character. She has love to people but she does not forgive evil. She tries to save her friends but it means she saves the world.

She has all the characters the Japanese traditionally want.

I think the character is not only for Japanese but also for all the people, adult, children, boys and girls.

That’s the way Miyazaki’s films attract all kind of people in the world.

He never expresses the IMPOSSIBILITY in the story.  Story itself is a fiction and a dream like one, but the substantial roles of casting are always based on the actual people, or on the concept what the people should be.

He draws great animation as art, but his story also makes his films great arts together with the perfect animations.

Probably, I’m not interested in children’s thoughts or their way of life,  as an adult, I can enjoy his works very deeply and it reminds me of the purest mind of my childhood. That’s a real amazing experience.
