My thoughts on the animation.

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2015)

Last Friday I received a homework from my English teacher which is to write a review on a movie you like/dislike and send him the link of it, so I decided to write him a review on one of my all-time favorite animation movie that was written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki.
Spirited away is a story about a young girl name Chihiro, who's moving to a new town in the countryside with her parents but somehow end up discovering a mysterious tunnel. Her parents was curious and choose to take a look on the other side of the tunnel, Chihiro although feeling a bit peculiar follow after her parents, afraid to be left alone. As they went through the other side they stumble upon a field of grass with some old buildings which resemble that of an old theme park. Chihiro's adventure begins.
It was one of the most well-made movie I've watch. I love how the director and writer, Hayao Miyazaki, portrayed the personalities of the characters. They were all so lively, so heartwarming and funny that I actually felt like they were real people and sympathize with them. I was especially attached to the two lead characters, Chihiro and Haku, for their interactions throughout the movie. The shocking part though, was that the hidden message of the movie is actually about prostitution and the corruption of children in Japan. I was quite surprise at first but later on I thought it was smart of him to actually come up with the idea of sending such a message through an animation which is open to all ages to view. Therefore, I respect him for his effort on making the world knows.
All in all, the movie was enchanting, sort of dreadful in some part, dreamlike and full of lessons for the society and if I were to compare the movie to a similar one it would be Howl's moving castle which is also one of his work. Both stories are set in a world where magic is a normal thing and was targeting the same type of audience. Last but not least, I would totally recommend Spirited away for those who want to go on a ride into a mystical and magical world.
