Spirited Away, a Miyazaki's dream?

Rating: 10/10 (10 August 2013)

In 2004, I had the opportunity to see Spirited Away by the first time a Saturday morning, though I did not pay much attention and I jumped it like a "good movie", nothing more.
Nine years later, I came across this tape again by chance and to be older and more aware I observed carefully and tried to warn even the smallest item. It was impossible, of course, as I could see Spirited Away up to 10 times and each time I'd discover new details.
To define this magnificent piece, of filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki who is perhaps the most consistent filmmaker I know, you don't need more than thinking of the strangest and surprising dream you've ever hat and there it is, it is essentially this film, a dream in its purest essence, a surreal dream world that never ceases to amaze.
Beyond what has already been said about Spirited Away, I don't think my notes are a revelation, but I just share them: for me, Chihiro is to Hayao Miyazaki what Alice is to Lewis Carroll, both stories are fantasy and display of creativity at its finest expression.
