The film My Neighbor Totoro really illustrated how important family is. More specifically, it illustrated how important siblings are. No matter what situation it was, Satsuki and Mei always had each others’ backs. For example, when Mei came to visit Satsuki at school, although it was extremely annoying, Satsuki allowed Mei to sit with her and comfort her. Throughout the story, things like this would always occur, and by helping each other out, it helped strengthen their relationship further. It reminds me of when I was a young kid and my siblings would always be super nice to be. Yes, we would occasionally have fights, but they would have my back. Although I was a pain sometimes, they would always help me whatever the case would be. Since I’m older now, I will now help them out as well and return the favor.
I must say, it is a blessing to have a sibling! I’m sure watching this film made you feel more grateful for having siblings to comfort you, advise you, and spend time with you. Though I haven’t watched this film myself, your blog has inspired me to watch it and reflect on how siblinghood has shaped who I am today.
