Night on the Galactic Railroad  Description:
Once upon a time, there was a young boy named
Giovanni whose life was filled with hardship and despair. In addition
to his studies, he worked early in the morning and after school every
day to earn enough money to feed his sick mother. Because he had no
time to play, his schoolmates mocked and tormented him...
But his life is about to change...
Giovanni is planning to attend the annual Festival of the Stars with
his only friend, Campanella. While staring into the starry sky, a
mysterious galactic train appears like a falling from heaven. The two
friends embark on a magical journey to the constellations of the Milky
Way, where they witness inspiring beauty, tragic loss, and explore the
splendors of the universe. Together, they experience a voyage of inner
discovery and spiritual growth as they discover that there are some
things in this universe that transcend mortal existence.
Based upon the 1927 Japanese literary classic, written by Miyazawa
Kenji, Night on the Galactic Railroad is a modern fable, filled with
magic and symbolism.
Note: This film is heavily symbolic and attempts to compress an entire
multi-volume set into a single film. The character design is first
rate, but expect to be watch it more than once in order to understand
fully.
