      The funny thing is, that was added to the English version. It didn't exist in Japanese. Instead, you were left to wonder, and also to ponder Haku's promise to Chihiro that they would meet again... except that in Japanese, what he said was "I'll come for you" which any Japanese would have understood to mean that he was promising to be her spirit guide into the afterlife when she died. So they will see each other again, but only after they can be together forever.

    Miyazaki's films often have a strong environmental message, as in _Princess Mononoke._ I particularly like that in _Spirited Away_ it is subtle, embodied only in Chihiro cleaning up the polluted river.

    I remember a documentary feature on my copy of the dvd where the director, Hayao Miyazaki, was trying to give the animators an idea on how to play out the scene where Chihiro was giving Haku the medicine. He tried to elaborate on real life situations for them to use as references for that scene alone. For example, as the two were falling into the boiler room from above, Haku clings to the wall with his claws. He asked them if they ever saw how a gecko cling to the walls, they said “no”. When Chihiro tries to give him the medicine, she had to hold down his head; meanwhile his body flails about in the struggle. He asked them if they ever saw how an eel was prepared to be grilled, the chef pretty much holds the eel by the head, with the body flailing about before it’s dispatched. Again, they replied “no”. Then, when Chihiro tries to force the medicine into his mouth, she had to pry it open, shove it in, and then keep his mouth shut before he threw up the seal and slug. Again, he asked if they ever seen how a dog is given it’s medication. How reluctant they can be to the point where the owner or vets have to force their mouths as such and then clamp it down in order for them to swallow the medication. Again, they replied “no”. He got exasperated from their answers all three times. It goes to show how observant of a man he is when it comes to bringing life to these films. The cleaning of the Stink/River Spirit was a reflection of him cleaning out a river in his neighborhood as well. These are all loose memories that I have, so I may be wrong a few of the details, but it is amazing how something as minuscule at those examples really brings more to the characters and the scenes themselves.

    Hello from Japan. In the film, the director hid many things that are too subtle to notice.
    In terms of Japanese Shinto (the ingenious religion before Buddhism was introduced in the 5th century), the family committed too many offenses against Gods/devines/spirits.
    1. Driving on stone paving with a 4WD. Stone paving indicates there used to be a shrine. That's a NO, but the father doesn't know.
    2. Before they approached the tunnel, there were small stone-made shrines piled up and dumped on the sidewalk. You can see a tall tree next to it. That illustrates people had shown little respect for them. Many old traditions/architectures had been through like this during the 70s and 80s, called post-war economic miracles. From what I can see in the film, a theme park must have been there after demolishing a shrine.
    3. Eating food for the spirits.
    And they've got three outs. Maybe Chihiro might have sensed something but the car went on.
    The director (Hayao Miyazaki) is famous for not explaining too many details, but hiding or embedding clues in his films. No wonder the whole franchise has got a strong fun base so that we can talk about it.

    Consistently voted the greatest anime of all times, Spirited Away is such a wonderful film.
    You can see the clear inspiration of western culture, like the Odyssey (the parents turning into pigs) or Alice in Wonderland, but also the clear Japanese asthetic and folklore, the spirits, the bathhouse, the kami (spirits that reside into things).
    All the movies of Studio Ghibli are top rated, not a bad one among them.
    Miyazaki is my personal favorite director ever. The man is a genius.

  • @melkiorwiseman5234
    @melkiorwiseman5234 Před 9 měsíci +4

    Something which struck me about the movie is how it completely avoided a particular western cliche. Chihiro is told not to trust anything that Haku says because he's Yubaba's henchman. She cries after that, but then completely ignores that advice and she never has a reason to regret doing so. Plain, simple and straightforward.
    If it had been a western-made movie, Chihiro would have lost faith in Haku until some major event happened to restore her trust, or she'd have trusted him only for him to either betray or or at least seem to betray her, leading to him having to do or explain something in order to regain her trust.
    But nothing like that happened. She trusted her friend, and he proved worthy of that trust. Plain, simple and straightforward.
    Sometimes the simplest story can be told so expertly that it still takes your breath away, and I think Spirited Away falls into that category.
    Edited to add: One of the neatest plot points I've seen is how Haku says that Chihiro is fine and invites her to see for herself by touching him, but... she remains see-through UNTIL SHE REACHES OUT to him. Like, it's also her faith in him which cures her, not just the food she eats.

    I first watched this movie in 2004 or 2005. My 7th grade science teacher wanted to do some movie days and we watched Finding Nemo and Spirited Away. I had never seen those films before then and I was mesmerized with both of them; especially with Spirited Away. I had been watching anime since I was very, very small, but I had never seen anything like Spirited Away before, so I begged him to let me borrow the DVD. I was a good student, so he let me borrow it lol I must have had it for a weekend or something and I remember watching it soooo many times at home and I couldn't get enough of it. It holds such a special place in my heart. I don't even have the words to explain how much this film means to me. I still cry everytime I watch this movie and I'm 30 now lol I literally just watched it yesterday lol I'm so glad you finally watched this film! ✨️

    Fun fact Chihiro's voice actress voices Lilo from Lilo & Stitch along with being the actress for Samara(Sadako) from the US version of The Ring. Her name means "thousand questions" with Sen meaning "thousand", Chihiro is a common girls name. "Chu" is an onomatopoeia for a kissing sound & the squeak of a mouse.
    This is an interesting movie with interesting backstory like the bathhouse I heard was inspired by one in the Miyazaki's town growing up, Ghibli films seem to just be full of wonder & small details you can't help but stare at sometimes

    Be careful with ghibli and anime reactions. They are notorious for CR strikes. And unfortunately CR law doesn’t work the way people think it does. Creators need to follow the CR law of the country that holds the CR. Not the law of where the creator lives. The reason for this is because in this case, it’s Japan’s content and they can dictate how they want it used. Japan doesn’t have Creative Commons or at least not in the way the US has Creative Commons. There’s a whole lawsuit about this with another creator who got over 100 strikes from Toei Animation. Unfortunately he’s likely going to lose because the case has to be brought in the country that holds the CR and since Japan doesn’t have Creative Commons, he had no right to use their content, period. I wish Japan had CC. I feel people should be allowed to react and communicate on films, music and media.
    Lovely reaction though! I love their films and I love watching people react to them! It’s frustrating to know people get screwed over for doing these reactions.
