| abstract | - Night on The Galactic Railroad is an anime film directed by Gisaburo Sugii (in The Eighties), based on a book, written by Kenji Miyazawa in 1927. Both tell the story of a boy named Giovanni, who, while going to get milk for his mother, decides to take a rest under the starry sky and...suddenly finds himself aboard a magical train. His best friend Campanella happens to ride with him in the same car. The train in question seems to ride along none less than The Milky Way, heading for an unknown destination. Both boys somehow know that they are on a journey across the universe, but decide not to worry much and enjoy the ride. During the course of the story, they meet various characters and see incredible things. This a Mind Screw tale peppered with a good bit of religious of symbolism; but it's that special kind Mind Screw -- the kind where you can actually understand most things if you give them a good bit of thought. The film changes all but a few characters from humans to anthropomorphic cats, but that's neither here or there. Also, to honor Miyazawa's love for Esperanto, the Universal Language the film was alternatively named "Nokto de la Galaksia Fervojo". All signs and "chapter names" in the film are also in Esperanto. Can be viewed on You Tube, here (Japanese, with English subtitles). There was also a surprisingly decent dub released in 2001 staring Veronica Taylor and Crispin Freeman, but it's nigh-impossible to find the DVD for less than $70. Not to be confused with Galaxy Express 999. As of February 24, 2011, a stage play based on the novel has been translated and performed in English, with the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, Massachusetts, producing the debut.
