Beautiful, Imaginative, Spectacular

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2016)

I've never been good at writing, or voicing my opinion, but this movie is so beautiful and powerful, that I guess I'll have to try my best. So where to start? The amazing, intricate hand drawn animation? The pure creativity and genius of the world and characters of Miyazaki's imagination? The gloomy, underlying themes of good/evil, and of greed? Or the not so gloomy themes of courage, and the power of friendship and love? Even the soundtrack by Joe Hisaishi is hauntingly beautiful and perfectly fitting for the film. Everything about Spirited Away is so perfectly perfect (I know I know). Every scene, animation, note of a song, is filled with true creativity and imagination, and that's one of the best things about this film. Its so easy to get lost in Miyazaki's breathtaking and fantastic world. The film never falters, it is, in my opinion, simply perfect.
