Castle in the Sky (1986)


Did it happen in a dream? Or was it in the middle of my silent drive home from T.O. last night after viewing Miyazaki's 1986 anti-milatarist tale with brother and kids.

Was it sparked by a clip from Cool Hand Luke in a PBS documentary I glimpsed channel surfing Thursday eve?

I was reflecting on Paul Newman's teaming with Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy and The Sting, thinking 'but that wasn't Newman's only classic buddy?'.

Perhaps a phantasm of brotherly love, it was nonetheless real. Once again I foresaw the remembrance of a cinematic giant.
