Enrico's English Journal

Studio Ghibli’s animation The Castle of Cagliostro is about an international thief who revisits a previously failed challenge. While he plans his advance, he falls in love with the princess and heir to the throne of the shady nation Cagliostro.

The thief, named Lupin or ”Wolf” is entering Cagliostro with his attack plan of closing in on the rumoured secret printing presses, taking them over and becoming perpetually rich.

The animation’s name belongs to an Alessandro Cagliostro, a Sicilian magician whowho founded egyptian freemasonry. This is portrayed throughout the film in the masonic architecture of Cagliostro.

I strongly recommend this film because it has you constantly has you guessing at each moment, due to the sharp twists in the storyline.
