A Brilliant Film

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2013)

I'm not exaggerating when I say that Spirited Away is the best animated film that I've seen. Hayao Miyazaki's magnum opus shows a girl brought to the spirit world. She wishes to save her parents after they were turned into swine. She befriends a spirit by the name of Haku and meets many others as well, including: Yubaba, the head of the bathhouse; Lin, a worker at the bathhouse who becomes Chihiro's caretaker; No-Face, a spirit who becomes attached to her; and many others. The film contains many morals, such as the effects of gluttony and the outcome of pollution. The art was brilliant and the writing was superb. Spirited Away was livened by an unforgettable soundtrack by long-time Hayao Miyazaki collaborator Joe Hisaishi. I would recommend this film to everybody.
