Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi [Sen and Chihiro's Spiriting Away]
Directed by: Hayao Miyazaki


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.

"Amazing, the power of Love." ----Uncle Fire

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

Avatar: Sozin's Comet [Series Finale]

Rating:	★★★★★
Category:	Other

well, we are all aware of the fantastic tv series Avatar: The Legend of Aang. You know the "bending" and stuffl. i love the series, the animation is just right and the story is immaculate. but i will comment on the last episodes, they were...uh.. inti-...crea-...wonderfu--.. i cant really put it into words but, it rocked!

Avatar: Sozin's Comet is divided into four parts...
1. The Phoenix King --- Ozi, gets all powerful and all hope seems to be lost cause the fire nation's gonna wipe out everything and Aang's like weak.
2. The Old Masters --- well, Aang goes on a "spiritual journey" [just like most what happens most times in the series], team avatar is separated. They meet the old masters, that will be rescuing ba sing sei.
3. Into the Inferno --- MAN! i love the fighting scenes! our heroes are quite losing here but MAN! i still love it. :D this is where the 4 battles begin.
4. Avatar Aang --- MAN! yea you guessed it. i love the fighting scenes here too. :)) well our heroes triumph and aang brings peace to the world.

well that's just like a summary of what happened.

asides from the great fighting scenes and animation, the plot just seemed so great in these last four episodes. all those characters, all those stories, destinies, intertwined. a lot of the old characters resurfaced, showing that this fight is not Aang's alone. it was all of them.

one of the great things i admired in this story is the contradiction of Aang having so much power and yet having no strength in taking a life. at first i was like, MAN! this is for the world, just kill him. and all of the other avatars think so too. but aang made it through, having the right principles. he defeated the fire lord without killing him. it was just wisdom. violence cannot end violence.

SIGH. that was a lot to say. :)
i just love it so much! :))

i highly recommend you watch it!
Anticipate the upcoming Avatar movie! Coming this Dec 2009! ;)
