Ponyo on the cliff: The twinkle of stars

Stars can’t shine without darkness.

Life is also similar. Without any tough things and bad moments, the happy moment doesn't quite stand out to be greatly appreciated. So even if I have tough times, I keep trying to remember that this is just the darkness. If I want to shine like the stars, this darkness is kind of necessary.

About Ponyo on the cliff: The twinkle of stars:

Ponyo was such an interesting and charming little mermaid story. A gold fish princess that wishes to be a human girl is a story line that also echoes Pinocchio. This scene under a starry night gives you the impression that the heaven is full of wishes, just waiting to come true.

To @ddasuhan_ Ponyo on the cliff: The twinkle of stars:

This @ddasuhan_ goes well to a Ponyo fan but also someone who has a sky-full of wishes that they want to come true in the future. Every little child and dreamer can relate to that while looking up at the night sky. One day the seemingly impossible will happen. God who made the stars does the impossible.
