First off, there was Spirited Away, which I loved. Now, I do not understand Japanese culture and so some aspects of the movie were impossible to understand, and some were very difficult to understand. However, I did appreciate the artistry in this movie and the story that it took its viewer upon. I have always been a huge fan of Alice in Wonderland and this seemed a lot like that, but in Japanese.
This film was great because Chihiro finds herself and grows up in the process, and the parents have no idea any of it happened. They are so consumed with their own lives, their wealth, their gluttony, and their new life in Japan that they take no notice of their child. I think that this tells so much about what Hayao Miyazaki was telling the onlookers of his film. Many people just raise their children in the way that they want and this gives the child no freedom to express themselves or find out what they want to be and who they want to become. Many parents have no idea of what goes on in the lives of their children and so I am glad that this film addresses that.
Now, about the film. I was very confused by the people and creatures but I thoroughly enjoyed watching them in this beautiful world. I feel like the movie was very purposeful in its teachings but I didn't understand many of them due to the culture barrier. However, I found this to be a great movie.
