Pure spirit.

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2002)

To me, "Spirited Away" is about the ability of children to see the truth because their vision is not clouded by greed and prejudice and how adults ignore the observations of children at their peril. It is also about the redemptive power of hard work and how true satisfaction and happiness come from striving to do our best in difficult circumstances rather than from being fed and entertained. And it is about being true to oneself in the face of temptation and fear.
"Spirited Away" is a beautiful, inspiring movie with a pure heart. It is full of imagination, humor, and wonderful animation. I recommend it to everyone.
