One of the greatest

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2016)

This masterpiece of Hayao Miyazaki can be interpreted from so many aspects like sociology and psychoanalysis. I read many articles about the psychoanalytic interpretation of Spirited Away which basically tells that the bath house is actually a brothel and it symbolizes sex industry. Still, I prefer to focus another interpretation of this movie. There are very clear references to the pollution of nature in Japan and Hayao himself is being known as very sensitive for these kind of issues. He is very critical of his society and by Faceless, he tries to show this greed of capitalist societies, in my opinion. Also, Hayao loves to use child characters as protagonists (as we can see from Howl's moving castle, princess Mononoke, Kiki's delivery service and etc...) especially we can say it for girl characters. He used a random 10-years-old girl for this movie as protagonist and showed her development mentally.
