Kiki's Delivery Service

In April 2020, I watched the animated movie Kiki's Delivery Service on TV. The movie was released in 1989. The director is Hayao Miyazaki. I watched it for the first time years ago when it was kind of fun. 

It follows a girl named Kiki, who came from a line of witches, decides to live as a witch and strives to do in a big town where she has never been.

When I watched Kiki flying riding on the broomstick, I thought that an old man looked funny and weird if he flied with a broomstick like her. I believe that when a person flies with a broomstick, the right persons are children like Kiki and old ladies looking like witches. If I can fly myself, I want to fly like Superman and the fighters in Dragon Ball, of course, without a broomstick. 

I felt Kiki to be very cute but I was not touched by the film so much. I was at least impressed with the scene in which Kiki had became not to be able to work magic anymore, so she asked a female painter what she would do in a slump, and then the painter replied that she does anything or nothing. I think that most of the people will do the same thing as the woman in a slump. Never giving up is the most important thing at the time.

I think that the movie is naturally popular among girls and their parents but it is a fantasy fiction far away from a single old man like me. However, if I vacantly watch it without thinking, it makes me comfortable because its characters and pictures are all cute, moreover, the movie is accessible. 

I actually was more moved by When Marnie Was There which I watched recently.
