Spirited Away

Rating: 7/10 (17 January 2005)

As far as elegance goes, i believe this film has showed that and more. A truly enlightening and heart warming film, Spirited Away has brought me even closer to the fantasy and Japanese world. i very much enjoyed the music which sets the emotion of each scene. i've only seen the English version, and i must say that they did an excellent job on everything. I'm hoping that they come out with a sequel, because Haku (or Kohaku if you've seen the movie)promised they would see each other again. one flaw is that i believe that we should get a clearer background on each characters past. Little things in the movie like Chihiro falling down the steps when she was going to kamaji to ask for a job,her clumsiness while cleaning the 'big tub', and not being able to hold her breath the whole way across the bridge in the beginning of the movie have made her more human like and easy to relate to. This movie is truly a masterpiece and will remain one of my favorite movies of all time. I still hope they make a sequel!!!!! ^_^
