Before i start this review, acknowledgment to Rene Lopez, he let me borrow the DVD. haha! THANKS.


Here it goes.

"Spirited Away" is a fantastic film depicting life through such colorful methods. It's really great. Here, Chihiro is a ten year-old girl who tries to save her parents. She was just moving to her family's new house but when her parents try to explore an abandoned theme park, she finds herself in bath-house for spirits, gods and demons. Her parents become pigs and she must rescue them. She meets Haku, a spirit, that helps her through her way.

She meets all sorts of spirits and gods. She works for Yubaba and later on encounters different trials she must face in order to save her parents.

It's a little hard to summarize here since it's really weird so i'll just go on with my reaction. It's really awesome. It shows how a young girl must struggle to grow up in order to save the people she loves.

LOVE.

REALLLLLLYYY. even though Chihiro is young. I find the love story of Chihiro and Haku, White Dragon, really touching. Haku is the spirit of the river in which Chihiro almost died. They met again in the spirit world and she saved him. In the end, Chihiro remembers Haku's real name; and thus saving him. And in the end, they will meet again.


Honestly, this movie was weird and i dont understand the unnecessary things. But how the movie was made, ties all the unnecessary elements into a beautiful quilt of characters and faces. It has a mysterious touch about it that makes me love it. :)


NICE. MUST WATCH. :D

  1. The film received many awards, including the second Oscar ever awarded for Best Animated Feature, the first anime film to win an Academy Award, the first (and so far only) non-English speaking animation to win, and the only winner of that award to be traditionally animated or win among five nominees (in every other year there were three nominees). The film also won the Golden Bear at the 2002 Berlin International Film Festival (tied with Bloody Sunday). Spirited Away overtook Titanic in the Japanese box office to become the highest-grossing film in Japanese history.
