GOSHU THE CELLIST mini-synopsis (Walter M. Amos, 8/3/93) | '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' WRITTEN BY: Walter M. Amos POSTED TO BY: Walter M.

Amos" I don't know exactly why I started thinking of this film today but I thought it might be an appropriate subject for this list. Excuse me if this has been discussed already, or if it's inappropriate to the list. The art style looks very similar to that in Omoide Poroporo, so I think Miyazaki et al. have something to do with it. Anyway, for those who haven't seen this film, briefly it is about a cellist (Goshu) in the local orchestra and he is trying to learn to properly play their Beethoven repertoire. At night when he practices at home a menagerie of various animals pop in and try to give him various advice on how the music should sound. (The cat which first appears had me rolling on the floor with his Japanese-interpreted-through-cat-vocal- chords-trying-to-pronounce-Beethoven...he looks at a picture of Ludwig and says (in my best phoenetic type interpretation) "ahhh! Loo-hu-week fan Bay-hay toe-fehhnn!") Anyway, although some people in our club and elsewhere who have seen this find it boring and tedious, I found it to be a lovely and lyrical little piece. And of course the background music, all lovely-lovely- Ludwig-van helped a lot. I was just wondering, since I've seen almost no discussion of this on the net, if other people had seen this and what they thought of it. ============================================================================= "Zu jeder Zeit, an jeder (sic) Ort, bleibt das Tun | Walter Amos der Menschen das gleiche..." - Galactic Heroes II | amos@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu
