Analyzing Analysts and East Asian mythological spiritualology

Rating: 7/10 (19 October 2005)

This animated film reminds me of the visual nature of East Asian people. This is captured on the front cover as the story theme seems to continue the notion that the Japanese spirit must strive and survive in its totality as a unique ethnic way.
The front cover seems to capture the innocence of the Japanese youth in an over stressful atmosphere of proximity of Japan. Looking aside from the direct view that the world in front of her displays as opportunity given the "time frame". Moving forward never the less because of a sense of duty to Ryu the friendly dragon. But taking personal time to look aside to the attention of the curious viewer.
The confrontation with the boiler maker seems negotiated as the small black spider like beings escort the youth home. The spirit of a tradesman, or craftsman, burns very earnestly in their own spirited way of life.
Perhaps it is this mystery of faith that is the will to devoutly follow all that is pure like the white kami of Shinto religion, water clear sake, spirit of decisive action of Samurai Budo, and even the thoughts in any craftsman's mind that produces the way of human righteousness via their art.
Its this same sense of duty that if followed blindly will bring you virtue and honor like the concept of a perfect society which a citizen calls government. Always fear the politician with this East Asian budo spirit because they seek to establish a virtuous government as a noble virtuous citizen by example of their deeds that they may sign their oaths of duty. It is their selfless spirit that brings unification of all government duty.
I think this movie A Spirited Way brings many different characters under the same common theme of duty with spirit.
